Preventing a slide to advance with Multiple Click Boxes

Hello,

I've found that if I have more than 3 click boxes on a screen (specifically going out to a URL), the slide will advance once timeline has stopped and the 3rd click box is clicked.

My specific situation is that I have 4 click boxes to URL's, a click box that was supposed to pause the presentation & give the user the ability to control when to advance to the next slide and with my last attempt to prevent the slide from advancing, I also put in a pause button.  Regardless is that the slide advances automatically once a 3rd click box is selected.

I have troubleshooted the slide with having the Pause project until user clicks selected and not selected.

Essentially, I want the user to be given the opportunity to click on all 4 (or more) links without the slide automatically advancing and when they are ready to advance (as needed), they can control it by clicking on a button set up to advance the page.

Please let me know if you have any solutions or questions?

Thank you

Sunshine
