    Very short answer NO!

    Animations cannot be paused with Captivate functionality. Have a look at one of my most visited blogs:

    If you mean the default buttons on a playbar, the answer is again negative. They are like buttons for a VCR or other player, no control by the developer.

    If you want to do that, use custom navigation and buttons. Have a look at this interactive movie:

    Custom Play/Pause button

    That one was meant to have the button timed for the rest of the project. If you have an individual instance on a slide you can edit the action to add the hide/show possiblitiy for an object or a group.
