Is there a way to make closed captioning persist in an Aggregator project?

Question

Hello,I'm running Captivate 5.0.   My project consists of 12 movies, all which have audio and closed captioning.  (In these 12 movies, the default is to have closed captioning turned off.)  I then use Aggregator so the 12 movies can be viewed consecutively from the Aggregator SWF/HTM file.  When the Aggregator project starts playing, closed captioning defaults to off, which is what I want.  The viewer has the option to turn on closed captioning through the playback bar.  If turned on, the closed captioning displays fine until the next movie in the Aggregator project starts playing, at which time the closed captioning turns off.   Is there anyway to keep closed captioning turned on?  Otherwise, if the viewer needs closed captioning, they will need to turn it on 12x as they view the project...Thank you for your help!

Think you'll need the Save and Load Data widget from Michael Lund (cpguru). Then you could use a user variable that will be set to 1 if CC is toggled on in a movie, to 0 if it is not activated. This variable has to be saved and loaded in each movie, hence the widget (not free). On entering each file, you could create a conditional advanced action that checks the value of that variable, and depending on its value will toggle the system variable cpCmndCC.
