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.

Thanks Tim! I'm trying to implement it now using a checkbox instead of two buttons but can seem to get the logic right for selecting and deselecting.

A checkbox sounds like a great way to do it. Let me know if you need any help with it.
