We have custom previous and next buttons in our module. Our client want to deactivate the next button until the end user finishes the slide and then have it active once they've viewed it. Plus, have their LMS remember each users location in order to continue at a later time. Has anyone figured out a solution? If so, could you please share?

Unfortunately, I can't skip ahead a number of seconds per slide. I have voice over narration for each slide. Scratching my head on this one.

I had the same issue - just created a second 3-sec slide with all objects visible, no voiceover or other animations that only is seen if the first (full) version had been viewed. If the first version is viewed, jump to the short static version. I also included a button to "replay" the first version if wanted, which reset the "slide_x_viewed" variable to 0 so the system would think it was indeed the first time through.

Not the most elegant way, I admit, but it works if the micronavigation can't do the trick for you.

For the first question, have a look at:

Force First View (micro-navigation) - Captivate blog

Second question is difficult. If you are sure that the learner will use the same system, you could store a variable (tracking if slide has been viewed) in Local Storage and retrieve it in a next session.
