Captivate transparent buttons remain even though not active in timeline

Question

Hello, Captivate Community!

I'm hoping someone out there can help me with my interactive video. To demonstrate my dilemma, I have created transparent buttons that appear over white boxes when the boxes appear on a grey background. When the button is clicked, it jumps to a bookmark and continues playing until the playhead is paused by another button. But when the button is clicked upon, it still remains throughout the rest of the video. Eventually, with so many transparent buttons covering the screen, the user is in danger of pressing another button sending them back in the timeline to an unintended area of the video.

As you can see here, there are never more than one button active on the timeline.

Does anyone know how to make the button disappear from the video once it is successfully clicked on? I can only do one thing on success, correct? I cannot add two things that occur, can I?

I've posted the captivate project file here:

Sorry, but I don't download any attachment, from unknown origin for several reasons. I am just a user.

This looks a very strange setup. To answer your question directly: use an advanced or better, a shared action to be triggered by the buttons, and add the command 'Delete buttonX' to the 'Go to Bookmark' command.

Use the option 'Execute Advanced action'
Click the browser button, it will open the Advanced Actions dialog box.
Give a name to the action (unique name!!!!)
Enter two commands like in this screenshot
You can duplicate the advanced action, and edit both name, bookmark name and button name. Be careful: each name needs to be unique for the other buttons.

My approach to buttons in an interactive video is visible in this published example:

Play/Pause button

You can do multiple things in an Advanced Action. That appears to be a bug to me. I've only used buttons to the side of the video and they were always active like chapters.
