Pause at specific point in slide timeline

Feb 21, 2013

Hi,

I need for my course to stop/pause automatically at a certain point (ex. after 10 seconds pause) in a slide.  I don't want the student to have to click a Pause button.  I've found numerous posts about how to do it with a button but can't find a way to pause the course or slide automatically at a given point on the timeline.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I think I would have my timeline be 10 seconds long.  Then after whatever you plan next, have the slide continue on a layer.

Or, you could have a layer come in at 10 seconds, and set the layer option to "pause the timeline on the base layer."  To have a layer come in at a particular place in the timeline, set an object (rectangle) off stage to start at 10 seconds.  The set a trigger to "Show layer when timeline begins on Object."  The layer can hold your next action.

I've attached a story file with the triggers and layer set up.
