You'll have to use the system variables cpCmndPause and cpCmndResume.  More details about system variables in this  blog post:

http://blog.lilybiri.com/system-variables-in-captivate-6

You can assign the action 'Assign cpCmndPause with 1' as Success action for the Pause button, but would recommend doing it with a standard, not with a simple action (anyway those variables are not available in the dropdown list of the Action accordion). And to play again it has to be 'Assign cpCmndResume with 1'

If you want it to be done with one button, create a conditioal action :

   IF  cpCmndPause = 1

   Assign cpCmndResume with 1

ELSE

  Assign cpCmndPause with 1

Hi

I tried the conditional action as you suggested and it stops the slide but

does not resume when I click the button again? I have attached shots of my

advanced action button - have I done this correctly?

I checked it out, never post anything without checking.

You cannot attach screenshots, you do need to include them in the message using the small still camera icon in the browser version of the forums.

Do you have other interactive objects on the slide?
