play and Pause button

Hi Stephanie,

You didn't tell how you trigger pause/play with those 'buttons' - since you are on CP6 or later, use shape buttons that can be put on the master slides or timed for the rest of the project.

If you use a simple action (using the Action accordion), another possibility besides the excellent event-handler widget (only for SWF-output) is to replace it by a standard action: http://blog.lilybiri.com/why-choose-standard-over-simple-action

In Captivate "Infinite Attempts" means "infinite UNsuccessful attempts".  As soon as you've successfully clicked an object, you unpause the time line.  You might get another attempt in before the time runs out, but that's it.  If you want the ability to click on something as many times as you want without advancing the timeline, you either need to use some Advanced Actions trickery to rewind the playhead back before the pause point of the object, or else use something like the Event Handler widget which has an option to Disable Continue and Reset Success Fail Criteria After Action.
