Advanced action works on 1st slide, but not subsequent
January 3, 2023

I am new here and new to Captivate. I created an advanced action to toggle a pause/play button. It works on the first slide. On subsequent slides, it pauses, but does not change the state of the button. Need some help troubleshooting. Thanks!

I typically create such a button on slide one and then display it for the rest of the project. This way, when it changes the state of the button, I don’t need to duplicate the advanced action for other buttons on other slides. Play / pause buttons are tricky because they can quickly get out of sync with your project. They can also allow learners to circumvent forced navigation, so I avoid them.

Thank you. I have updated my project to have buttons display for rest of project and added a hide/show action to hide on the slides where I don’t want want navigation (knowledge check). This works for a mouse user, but seems to interfere with keyboard commands. I can tab to the buttons, but nothing happens when I press enter/space bar. Any thoughts? I found a post that refers to the hide command potentially interfering with this…
