User selection for automatic slide advance

Jun 06, 2013

I would like to provide the learner with the ability to select the slide advance to me manual or automatic.  Is there a trigger state for that or do I need to write a script?

I read your post and the thought quite intrigues me.  I have not tried it yet but here is my initial thought.

I would have a true/false variable called autoadvance.  Then on my slide master I would make a button with two states for auto advance on or off.  That button would toggle the variable to true or false.

Then on each slide you could put a trigger that says advance to next slide on condition autoadvance = true.  That way they could change their mind at any point in the program.

I think it would be pretty cool.  If I have time later I will give it a try.

I tried it and it worked great.  I think this is a really good idea.  One thing I had to do to my master slide as well was to add a trigger to change the state of the button to selected if the variable was True.  Otherwise I found the button went back to its normal state everytime the slide changed.
