Request: Implementing an Automated Page Transition
November 1, 2013 12:00 AM
Hi guys,
I'm looking to implement an automated page transition that can be turned on and off (initially I would need it off) with one button or two buttons sitting on top of each other, such as play and pause. Now, my concern is that each page would need a unique time limit before it transitioned to the next, as some pages contain more content than others. Can this be achieved, and how?
Regards

I appreciate your feedback. The course is very simple and generic - text and image; my idea was to have the 'option' to sit and read the content without having to physically turn each individual page.
First of all, automatic page transition is a very bad course design decision in almost every situation. Learners will get bored from just sitting there and watching pages turn.
However, technically, what you want is easy. Add an action "Go to next page" with a delay timer to every page, and set the timer to appropriate amount of seconds. Execute this action ONLY if the variable "autoskip" is set to "ON".
Add a button that toggles the variable between ON and OFF and you're good to go.
Create a variable. Create a button with a conditional action "if variable contains ON, set it to OFF else set it to ON". This button will now toggle variable contents.

Can you explain how to set the variable and toggle up please? Having trouble getting it to work.
