Issue with Play Pause Button

Hello Captivate Community!

 

I need some assistance here. I have the built in TOC controlled by a custom button. When it's clicked on, it will pause the slide and the TOC will open up. The play/pause button will change to a pause state as well. This is perfect. When skipping to another section, the TOC will hide automatically with the Hide_TOC AA that I created, the play/pause button will switch to a play state, and the slide will automatically play. Also Perfect.

 

However, When the TOC is opened and everything, including the play/pause button switches to a pause state, if the current slide is clicked on again in the TOC (let's say by accident), the slide will start over but the play/pause button will remain in the pause state. 

 

Any thoughts on an AA where if the TOC is opened and the current slide is clicked on again in the TOC (let's say by accident), how to get the play/pause button to change state again since the slide will reset and play automatically? 

 

I've attached the AA I have below for my custom TOC Button.

 

I've triple and quadruple checked if it was possible I had any conflicting AA's in the entire project and I have found none. I've only used the cpCMndTOCVisible once (in the AA attached). I have a Hide TOC AA which I'll also attach here. Plus my play/pause button (I'll attach that too)

 

Thanks!

    If your Conditional Action relies on being triggered by the On Slide Enter event of that slide, then you need to remember that once you are inside that slide's timeline and you click something (e.g. the TOC reference) that targets that same slide then you are not actually re-entering the slide again from another slide.  That means the On Slide Enter event does not get fired.  So, you do not have an event to work with.
