Problem syncing Captivate audio to imported .ppt animations

I am trying to find a way initiate a Pause Playback and initiate a "behind the scenes" Mouse Click Event.and then Resume Payback including audio again.

This need came about as a result of a .ppt import with a ton of Click triggered animations that need to be synced with the audio on the same slide. Im sure there are more complicated ways to do this with a lot of overhead however a simple behind the scenes Pause, Mouse Click to initiate the .ppt anmimation, and Resume audio would greatly reduce the overhead of this project. (By Behind the Scenes; I mean no user interaction.)

Background : PC user Captivate 7. All .ppt imported animations work with the Captivate project. as desired. Just cant sync audio to Click events because I can not find a way to do the above.

    Captivate doesn't currently have a default way to do what you want.  There is no "timed action" that you can use to trigger something to happen at a given frame or time into a slide.  This is something that has often been requested.  By all means put in an enhancement request yourself.  The more people that do so, the more likely Adobe will listen.

    Yep it sure would be nice that when a ppt was imported the animations from ppt could be added to the time line for placement!
