Can you pause a slide while and image is zoomed?
I have multiple slides with the following: several bullets on the left describing a large screen shot on the right side of the slide. I have added "Insert Zoom" to the screen shot and it works as expected. I need the slide to pause while the student inspects the zoomed image. I want the slide to resume when the student then clicks on something - either the image again or elsewhere on the slide. If I click the zoom icon, the image opens and stays zoomed but after a few seconds, the slides continue to scroll in the background (as opposed to pausing as I would like). Is it possible to do what I'd like?
One way you can do it:
- When the user clicks the zoom image, add a trigger to pause the timeline. The challenge is resuming the timeline since clicking to close the image doesn't have a trigger association.
- I'd add a continue button and set the initial state to hidden.
- On the button:
- add a trigger to resume timeline when clicked
- change the state of the button to hidden
- On the image
- pause timeline when clicked
- change state of the button to normal
Thank you SO much!!
