Hello guys, I need help in branching. At the end of by first branch, my slide navigates to the branching slide. However, I need the branching slide not to begin from the very start, but to begin from the point where I click to visit the next branch. Please, how can this be done?

You'll need to use micronavigation. In the action executed when you click to branch you'll have to include a command to store the present frame number in a user variable

Assign v_frame with cpInfoCurrentFrame

When returning to the branching slide, you'll need to add the command:

Assign cpCmndGotoFrame with v_frame

This will return to that frame, but not release the playhead. If you want to release the playhead replace the system variable by cpCmndGotoFrame with cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume.

Uuummm, I am kinda a newbie with captivate, hence, the whole thing on variable sounds scary to me. Could you help me with a blog post that could explain variables and advanced actions from the scratch. I think I might need a basis before delving into the links you posted above. Thanks.
