Custom Rewind Button IE Issue

[geoffreyj30957663]

I have created a custom button in Captivate 7 with one simple expression CPcmndGotoFrameandResume = - 75  the CP file is running at 15 fps the goal of this button is to rewind the slide 5 sec and resume playing and it works in all browsers except IE more specifically IE 9 is the browser i need it to work in. While in IE 9 the button rewinds the slide a seeming random amount but it's always way more then 5 sec. Does anyone have an idea how to make IE 9 rewind a slide for 5 sec?

Thanks in Advance

Hi Geoff,

Captivate doesn't recognize negative numbers at all. That means that your negative number '-75' will simply be replaced by zero and that is certainly not what you want. You can subtract a number from a positive number but you each negative result will be replaced by 0. I suspect that kind of rewinding could be done with JS but not with advanced actions. In this blog post I tried to explain the limited possibilities of navigation between frames:

Hi Lilybiri

Thanks for the response I must of been completely out it last night when I wrote this, left out the second half of my expression. CPcmndGotoFrameandResume = cpInfoCurrentFrame - 75. I understand that this doesn't change your response and I think you are correct that advance actions won't get the job done unfortunately my experience with JavaScript is limited can you or anyone else recommend a good online resource for JS.

Thanks again,

Geoff

Then you did get into  a sort of loop I'm afraid, and CP couldn't catch up which explains why you have unpredictable results.

Have a look at Jim Leichliter's website, he has a video course for JS in Captivate: CaptivateDev.com - eLearning Development with Adobe Captivate
