Firstly, this community is so extraordinary - thanks to all and if only it could be modeled everywhere!
Now the question: in AS2 I almost always create custom 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons to suit branding. In 360 it's fabulous that there is an inclusion of Swipe action for Next and Previous. This shows in the slide settings for the buttons using standard Articulate slides.
I've tried a few ways to get this functionality when creating custom buttons, with no success; triggers revert to click only with no swipe option. Any ideas?
Hi there Dorothy! I agree that this community is extraordinary - there's simply nothing like it!
Can you explain to me why you would need a 'Swipe' trigger on your custom buttons? Do you mean you'd like the users to have the option of swiping OR using your custom buttons?
If so, you'll need separate triggers for that, one to jump to the next slide when the user clicks the custom button, and one to jump to the next slide when the user swipes.
Hi Alyssa, thanks for the super speedy response! Amazing given world time zones!
Ahhhh Haaa ! After mucking about for an hour or so (we all have those days) I figure out (yes it should have been obvious to me ) that the Swipe trigger attaches to an invisible built in function only, and is separated from the built in Next/ Previous button. I made test module and checked it on all devices - superb! No need to ever create a trigger for this :)
Yay! So glad we were able to put our heads together to find a solution that works for you. If you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out!
Many thanks for all the help which you give in this community everyday, I share the same Dorothy's feeling :)
By the way, I'm writing you because I am facing a problem related to the same topic.
I am building m-learning and I would like to swipe some of my slides - instead of using buttons. I went to slide properties and ticked prev and next in slide navigation and gestures related to swipe. Then, when I preview my project (on my PC) I don't see how to test the swiping.
Do you know if there is another step to let the swipe function works on my PC preview?
You'll want to test the swipe navigation on a mobile device or tablet. The easiest way to do this would be to publish the content to Articulate 360, then test the link to the published content from your device. I hope this helps!
Select any slide. Go down and click on the gear icon in the lower right
area where Slide Properties are found.
There you will see the built in Swipe functions which you can deselect if
you like. I leave these on always as they are great for mobile devices.
They don't show as a button, and don't require a trigger - the are just
'there'.
Hope that helps / hope I understood you correctly.

And just in case you're interested, here's a little more information on the HTML5 Gestures for Tablets and Smartphones!

Hi,
Is it possible to see some examples about 'Swipe' trigger and 'Swipe' button for slide navigation?
I have not understood the effect!
Thanks

Hi Stefano - As Dorothy mentioned, the swipe gestures are for the HTML5 output on touchscreen devices. This article may explain it a bit better.
Hi,
now I get it! I'll do the test
Thanks
Absolutely - feel free to pop back in if you have any more questions and we will be happy to help.
Please attached any example related 'Swipe' next and prev trigger. If you attached any video example of this, then it will be easy to understand.
