Clicking a clickbox hyperlink will advance slide

Question

Captivate 6I'm using buttons to navigate through the presentation here. Each slide is 3.1 seconds; after 3 seconds navigation buttons will appear and pause the presentation. To prevent skipping slides, I've removed the included playback controls in the theme editor thing. So during the slide, users can click on a clickbox I created to open a URL in a new window. The clickbox exists until end of slide so the it still works while the page is paused. Most of this is actually not important.The issue I'm having is this: if 'Continue Playing the Project' is checked then clicking the link while the page is paused for navigation will unpause it and advance the slide. So a user can be pushed to the next slide before they're ready. Clicking the link while this option is unchecked will pause the presentation and can prevent the navigation buttons from ever appearing. Apparently the clickbox must set state to 'pause' or 'play' and cannot simply preserve the existing state.Can anyone point me to a solution?

Hi thereUnless something has changed, this should not be the way the option should work.If you are opening a link in a new window, clearing the option that allows the continue action to occur should not pause the slide. As I understand it, the option simply governs what happens once the slide has been paused and the Click Box is clicked. If selected, when the Click Box is clicked, play resumes. But if DE-selected, the slide stays put. I've never known the behavior to cause the slide to pause at the point the Click Box was clicked. It's always been my experience that if the Click Box has been clicked before the pause point is reached, play simply continues until the pause point is reached and then the pause occurs.Cheers...
