    Ok! So then is the ONLY way to check all the animation and links are working is to publish it?

    Not at all. Most functionality will be available when you use Preview in Browser (F12) for SWF output or Preview HTML (F11) for HTML output. In a normal, not a responsive project, all other Preview methods may work (except the Play Slide, which isn't a Preview) but they are all based on Flash(SWF) output. If your goal is HTML use F11.

    Hi RodWard

    I previewed it via the Preview button from this slide, but that did not pause the project

    That is NOT a preview at all, it is only meant to be used for editing/synchronizing. It is also labeled 'Play Slide', not Preview slide.

    There were many versions of 8, which one?

    You have to publish and upload to a webserver to test fully.

    You shouldn't need an advanced action. Which exact version are you using? How did you test?
