the variable is case-sensitive and should be spelled rdcmndPause

to pause, set the value of rdcmndPause to 1

to play, set the value of rdcmndResume to 1

What exactly are you trying to pause? The entire slide? Do you want a separate button for that or do you want it to work with the current navigation?

I have a trick that I use to stop my slides so that the learner clicks the forward button in order to jump to the next slide (or they can press Play to continue playing the slide).

I place a transparent button on the slide that stays there for the entire slide duration. I set it to pause after 3 seconds (you can change it to whatever you want). Then my slide plays and stops after 3 seconds....no coding involved. If I have audio on the slide or rollovers, they continue to work. It just stops the slide from advancing on its own. Then, if you want to add a second transparent button, when the user presses Play, the slide will continue to play and it can pause after a certain number of seconds.

Hope that helps,

Kristen
