By default, Captivate allows the viewer an unlimited (infinite)
number of tries to get the correct action (click in the click box or
on the button, or type the correct text in the text entry box). If you
want to limit the number of attempts, click the
Infinite attempts
check box to deselect it, then specify the number of attempts you
want to give the viewer. If you leave Infinite attempts selected, the
movie will pause until the viewer gets it right. If you specified a
number of attempts, choose an option from the
After last
attempt
drop-down list to specify what you want the movie to dis-
play after the last unsuccessful attempt. Valid options are the same
as for successful actions and are listed in Table 9-1.

gradual the effect should be. The default is 0.5 seconds.
