Add a Continue button

Pacing is essential in creating an engaging presentation, and pauses offer an effective way of controlling the pace. You can use the Authorware wait icons to stop the presentation until the user decides to continue.

With the Authorware standard Continue button, you'll set up a pause as a first step in creating a transition to the Main Menu.



  1. Add a wait icon after the Camera Sound icon on the flowline, and name the icon Continue.



  2. Double-click the icon to open the Wait Icon Properties inspector.
  3. Deselect Key Press in the Wait Icon Properties inspector and verify that Show Button is selected.

    When the Key Press option is selected, pressing any key is the equivalent of clicking the Continue button. When the Key Press option is turned off, the user must click the Continue button to proceed through the piece.



  4. Restart the piece. When the Continue button appears, click it.
