Clicking a button set to open url is skipping pause in slide

Hey there! I must be missing something that's right under my nose... I have two transparent buttons over images on a slide who's actions are set to Open URL or file with infinite attempts. I also am using back and next arrows with click boxes to continue and go back. The click box over the next arrow is set to pause the project until it is clicked. What is happening, though, is that when I play the project, clicking the buttons not only open the URL in a new window, as set, they also cause the project to continue to the next slide.

What am I doing wrong? Am I going about this the wrong way?

Thanks for your help!

Hi there

Look at the properties where you direct the link to a new window. There is an option there that governs whether a pause is released or not.

Thanks, Rick!  I misinterpreted what that option meant. It works perfectly now.
