I have a text button set at the beginning of a presentation which is set to
"start" them module. The button is set to the following options --

Display for: rest of slide
Appear after: 0.0 seconds
Pause after: 0.5 seconds
Show hand mouse cursor...

The button itself is set to go to next slide on success and to allow user
infinite attempts with no shortcut key. There are no quizzes or audio attached
to the button.

All the elements (text and simple graphics) are set to "display for rest of
slide" with everything (including the button) starting at 0.0 and 5 seconds in
length on the timeline.

Why is it not pausing?

Hi Mark

Perhaps try adjusting the start time for the Button to be .1 or .2 seconds. Sometimes if things appear too soon we see issues.

Cheers... Rick :smile;

Thanks for the reply, Captiv8r --

I tried what you suggested, but it didnt work. My button, which is placed on
the number one slide, is designed to prompt the user to launch the exercise
after reading a short introduction and overview.

What happens though, is that right after the captivate preloader clears, the
progressbar (within the player control skin of the presentation) will stay
paused for approx. 10 seconds, then scroll for the 5 seconds that the content
timeline of slide 1 is set for, and then proceed to slide 2. It is completely
ignoring the pause at 0.5 seconds instruction of the button

All of the templates I develop with include a "Continue" button on Slide #1 so
I can provide some introductory text. I've had no problems with the button
timing or the movie continuing.

Maybe something got corrupt? Did you try deleting Slide #1, inserting a new
blank slide, and adding a brand new button? After that, I'd double-check the
Properties of your button to ensure everything is correct.

I've tried deleting the button, the slide, changing the stacking order of the
button in the timeline, the button settings, and as mentioned in my previous
response, even trying to achieve the same effect with a click box instead of a
button, even made sure I had all the downloadable updates from Adobe...still
nothing. The slide still continues to the next slide, completely ignoring the
instruction to pause until there's a click.
