How to keep opening the TOC from unpausing project..

Hello,

I have two buttons in my project that seem to be fighting:

Button 1 - A button with a simple action bound to it - toggle cpCmndTOCVisible. This button is on every slide

Button 2 - Button on my master slide.  This uses a variable I created "PlayPause".  When PlayPause is 1 and the user clicks it, the project should pause and make PlayPause 0.  Else PlayPlause should continue the project and make PlayPause 1.

This issue is when the project is paused, and Button 1 is clicked, the project will start playing again and my PlayPause variable is stuck in the "paused" state.

Any ideas?

Which version are you using?

If it is Captivate 9, did you uncheck the option 'Continu Playing the Project' when assigning the simple action to toggle visibility of the TOC? If you are on a previous version, you have to replace the simple action by a oneline standard action, as explained in this post:

Hi Lieve,

Thanks.  Yea, that was it. 

By the way, I have the button on every slide because I used a "button" which you cannot show for the rest of the project.  I thought I had to use a button because we have three custom images we wanted to use for each of the states.  I just realized I could still create a smart shape custom button using background fill and display it for the rest of the project.

Are there any disadvantages of displaying a smart shape button for the rest of the project (or just putting it on the master slide for that matter?)

Thanks again for the help.
