User selection for automatic slide advance

Randy;

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.
