Re-starting auto-play

Unread post by Olivier Beltrami »

Hello,

In one of my Xplain, I stop the auto-play on a particular slide to allow the user to either click on a link to the help file, or to continue to the next slide.

Both links work fine.

But, after clicking the link that moves to the next slide, the next slide is displayed, as expected, but then nothing more happens (the auto-play is not restored).

I tried to find an option to re-start the auto-play, but could not find one.

Very best regards,

Olivier

Clicking the "next" link always only moves to the next slide. You need to use a skin that has a play button the user can click to restart autoplay. Or include a play button or link of your own with the corresponding script to restart play.

The global scripts contain the basic play commands you can use:

The object scripts contain the animation commands you can use:
