TurboDemo Support - How do I create a transparent pause button?
Why would you use this feature?
- You have a slide that contains a menu with multiple links on it and you do not want this slide to continue automatically onto the next one
- You do not want to use the success/error message ("Click Area" option) to appear after you have clicked on a field to move to the next slide
- You want the final slide of your demo to remain visible instead of jumping back to the first slide
For TurboDemo version 7.0 or later
- With your TurboDemo project open, select the slide you wish to add the pause button to
- From your toolbar select "View | Single Slide Mode"
- From your toolbar select "Slide | Insert Pause Button"
- You can resize and reposition the pause button on the slide
- Right mouse click on the pause button and select "Make Invisible"
For TurboDemo version 6.5 or earlier
- First you will need to create a plain colored image using your graphics editor application, size 15x15 pixels, preferably black
- With your TurboDemo project open, select the slide you wish to add the pause button to
- From your toolbar select "View | Single Slide Mode"
- From your toolbar select "Slide | Insert Pause Button"
- Double mouse click on the pause button that now appears on your slide and the "Define the Pause Image" window will now be visible to use

- Select the "Assign" button

- Browse to the image file you created in Step 1 and click "Open" and then "OK"
- You can reposition the pause button on the slide if you wish
- Right mouse click on the pause button and select "Define Transparent Color"
- The "Color" window will appear on your screen. You must select the exact same color as your created image from Step 1. Click "OK"
- The pause button will now appear invisible on your slide. If you cannot remember where it is, right mouse click anywhere on the slide and select "Select all objects"
