I want to have background audio on my Captivate 5.5 project, and the audio needs to loop thoughout the project. But I don't want it to start playing until slide 4. Is it possible to do this, perhaps with advanced action?

Correct answer AndyKingInOC

there's an audio accordian in the slide properties.  I don't have it open at the moment but I think it's "stop background audio."  I've used it before to stop background music when I have voice over and then let it resume later.

can you have it start on slide 1 and just mute it on slides 1-3?

Andy, How would I go about muting it on one slide and not another?

I've not seen this to be possible in Captivate for background music.  Advanced Actions cannot currently manipulate background music.  You cannot add audio to a Master Slide, so that's out too.
