Hello
I suspect this is a common issue, but I can't find it in the FAQs.
I want to do a list, with animations on it such that the list items slide in from the left, but prevent users from clicking "next" until the animations have finished. I have tried putting the duration of the animations into the timeline such that the navigation is not enabled until finished, but this then goes to next slide automatically on completion, which means any slow readers don't get to finish reading before the next slide appears.
Any suggestions how to get the best of both worlds, please - animated list items that users can't click past along with "Next" buttons that users can click rather than having slides advance automatically.

Thx Nick ;-)

You could make an animated list, say 5 lines. Choose effect 'Wipe Right'.
Make 'Display Mode': 'On user Click'.

On the Slide make an action:
Navigation - Button Next - Disable.

On the List Object make an action on 'afterdisplay':
Variable Counter, value = 0; scope = current slide.

On the List Object make other actions 'onclick':
Variable Counter = #Counter + 1
If(Condition='#Counter==4)
>>Delay(Duration = 2000, Infinite = 'No')
>> Navigation - Button Next - Enable

Cheers [:p]

As you know, '>' means one click on the green 'arrow right'.

That's brilliant! Many thanks to both Nick and Barend. [:)]

Hi Frank
It looks like you should have a look at Barends thread 'to go back and forth...' While this uses a response to a question to enable the nav buttons it could be adapted to suit your requirements. You'd need to tie an action to probably the last anumation to trigger the next button to become active.
