Swapping buttons loses hand cursor

I’ve tried both Smart Shapes and Buttons with the same result. I have two buttons (play and pause) and the same Shared Action is attached to them. When the play button is pressed it hides and shows the pause button, the same Shared Action performs the action in reverse to the pause button. Hand cursor is checked for both buttons.

The play/pause function works on the side but after one or two clicks, the hand cursor no longer appears over the buttons. I’m testing in HTML5. Captivate 2019, latest version.

Thanks!

Do you have both buttons in the same location? That is something you need to avoid completely for HTML output, although it works fine for SWF output.

Better use this approach which I documente by an interactive video (which I will post in a separate comment, because of moderation waiting time):

Does this happen when you test with different browsers?  It may not be an issue with your project.

My suggestions is to use one button with a play-pause symbol. When I need a button like this, I create a variable (vPlay_Pause) with a default value of “0”.  Then I create an advanced action with the following IF vPlay_Pause= 0 THEN continue and toggle variable ELSE toggle variable and pause.    You could also create states for the button. One state is Normal (Play) and the other is Pause.
