Slides are auto advancing without requiring the next button
This is my first project using Storyline and when I preview the scene I built, one it gets to the end of the timeline for each slide it auto advances to the next slide. I checked the player triggers and deleted the tirgger to move to the next slide once the timeline ends but it still advances when I preview it. I wasn't prepared to load the file yet to my LMS for testing. Any suggestions on settings I might be missing?
Is this just how preview works and it will translate fine into my LMS?
I have just imported a powerpoint file into SL2 and am having the same problem as Mazhar and Jenna. I have all the slides set to "by User" in both places and have even removed SL2 prev and next buttons, but in preview mode it still moves to another action before I finish testing the triggers on the slide. I wonder if it has something to do with transitions. I tried setting transitions up to 25 seconds but it won't let me do that. I set transitions to none, but still to no avail. I did not see and answer posted to Mazhar's problem so just asking what was the problem there? Thanks much!
Hi Sylvia,
This post seems to originate with Storyline 1, so I don't imagine it's the same issue - but we'd be happy to take a look at your .story file as to how it behaves. You can share the .story file here with us or you're welcome to send it along to our support team.
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for looking at this slide for me. I still need to repair the triggers, but the issue I can't figure out is why all of the graphics except the titles disappear after just a few seconds. I don't want them to do anything except on triggers. Thanks!!!!
I am really liking SL2 and want to see if I can get my course completely transitioned and operational from Powerpoint to SL2 during this trial so that I can take my request for purchase to my supervisor with evidence that it WILL meet our needs very effectively.
THANK YOU,
Sylvia

Hi Sylvia,
We're happy to help - but I'm not sure if you wanted to share your .story file here? If so, it wasn't attached (anything you add in email is not included as a part of the email reply) so you'll need to visit this page to upload it.
Hi Ashley,
I did attach the file, but I think aol would not send it due to size so I
have zipped the file and will try again. Thanks much!

Hi Sylvia,
Are you visiting this ELH page to upload it using the "Add Attachment" button? The zipped file also didn't come through - you won't be able reply via email and include any attachments as a part of that to upload here into the forums. If you're still having difficulty uploading files on this page, you are welcome to send it along here.
I am having a similar problem. The question slide is set to advance by user, however it autoadvances when the submit button is selected. (The two layers on the question have been removed.)
Hi Allen,
I'm not sure I'm clear on what you'd like to occur - if you have removed the feedback layers, and the user clicks the submit button it should move them to the next slide. That is advancing by user input vs. advancing automatically based on when the timeline ends. If I'm misunderstanding can you share a bit more information here with us?
Thanks for the quick response Ashley.
By user I expected that the user would have to select the "Next" button to advance.
I misunderstood the meaning.
I want to provide my own feedback as well as provide a ligthbox showing the slide containing the information that addresses the question.
Is that something I would do on a slide layer?
Hi Allen,
By user just indicates any action the user takes to advance, whether it's the next/submit button on the player or an element on the slide itself.
As far as feedback, you can customize your feedback layers as described here and if you want to show a particular layer or lightbox, you can set up a trigger as such based on the user clicking the submit button or another action on the slide. I think that if you gave the feedback on a layer, you could also include a button on the layer with something like "Looking for where this information was in the course?" and that would lightbox the particular slide in question. Once they close the lightbox they'll be brought back to your feedback layer and could continue from there.
Hope that helps!
Already pursuing those options, it looks like it will work.
Thank you
Hi Ashley,
I'm going to try attaching the file here. What happens is that within just a few seconds the graphics all disappear.
