    Disable Clicking foward until completion of slide

      Hello,

       

      I am using Captivate 8.

      I would like to make the viewer unable to move forward in the presentation until all of the audio and video have finished. To keep the document from becoming too large, I'm using the playbar at the bottom of the screen for navigational purposes instead of placing "Forward" and "Back" buttons on each slide.

       

      How can I keep people from skipping through the entire presentation instead of listening to all of the audio and watching the entirety of my slides?

       

      Also-How do I turn off autoplay? My slides have a tendency to continue on as soon as they're finished. I've tried the invisible clickbox technique and it didn't work.

          If you use a playbar, user will always be able to use it, that is not a good idea. With custom navigation you could have the Next button appear on the timeline after finishing everything, but that is not possible with the playbar.

           

          I don't think you mean autoplay (which is for the project). And a click box, which has by default a pausing point at the end of its timeline should do the trick.

            In the skin editor you can simply remove the Next button and Progress Bar (and Fast Forward button) to keep people from jumping forward in the project. This leaves them with the ability to skip backwards to replay slides, and they can advance to the next slide by hitting the Play button or click box. On your click boxes, make sure "Pause project until user clicks" is checked.
