Return from menu to a determinate point of timeline
Jan 14, 2013
Hi... i want to know if this is possible and how.
In my actual course made on flash, i have a button to return to index. If the user press it during while timeline is running, this stop and the menu, hidden on a level shows. In that, menu, when the user press a "return" button, this level hide and return to the point where he leaves and pressing play, the timeline contionues.
Is there a way to get this behaviour in Articulate? To have a menu that you can go and return whitout loosing focus on the time line?
i've been thinking in variables that store the slide and the position in the timeline (this last i can figure how) or using a layer as menu, but with this last, the course must be in one slide only with multiples layers and that will a chaos.
Thanks

Juanjo,
I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you're looking for, but there is an option in the slide properties panel to resume saved state. This may help you accomplish the same effect. You can access the slide properties by clicking the gear icon to the right of the base layer name.

Hi, thanks for answer!!!
I have activated that but when i move to the other slide (where is the menu) and return (pressing the menu option), the slides begins again... in that slides, i have only static text and audio, so the audio begins again...
Juanjo,
Would you be able to post a sample file that we could look at? I'm not sure if I'm understanding fully.
Thanks,
Mike
I've created anothe simple file with two slides and 3 rectangles animations and it works... may be it does not work if the slide has only audio with no animation?
I'll try to post a sample here...
