Return to most recent slide

Jul 06, 2012

Need some help...

In a simulation training session that I am creating their is a button that i need to define on every slide. (It is a touch screen keyboard.) I don't want the user to use the on screen keyboard but if they touch the icon i want them to be taken to an instruction screen that tells them what they have pressed.

I am wondering if you can set up a variable that will take the user back to the location they were just at. Or do I have to use the slide as a layer on every single slide?

Can I do this?

Could you use a lightbox slide?

Oh wait... this is an instruction slide for each key or for the whole touch screen keyboard?

EDIT: added example

lightbox.story

I elected not not have the keyboard be interactive. It is one slide with animation. (for the whole keyboard)

I'd try the lightbox then - it supports animations.

You may want to try using a master slide layer for this. Should work out pretty smoothly as an overlay.

Hi Zara,

Don't know if I understood well but if what you want to do is going back to the previous slide, this is the function of the previous button and this function is available in the trigger panel...

Have a nice weekend!
