Hi all,
I feel like I should know how to do this, but I’m a bit rusty on Captivate right now. I have a Forward button that isn’t showing until the audio finishes (compliance course) and on some slides, I have text animations.
I’d like to track the slide visits so when the Back button is clicked, it will automatically show the Forward button on the previous slide, but ALSO jump to the point in the timeline where the animation has finished so they don’t need to watch the text animate again.
How should I best accomplish this with variables and advanced actions? Is it possible?
Thanks,
Kristen

Great links!
Hi Kristen, I found a similar problem with a different approach and I found it really helpful.
That is an old solution which I have described many years ago. It has one big disadvantage: you are not able to use CC if you don’t use slide audio. Just FYI. If you find that solution easier than just reusing a shared action and entering a parameter AND you are sure not to need CC, go ahead.
Other possible problems with using Play Audio are explained in this blog:
