Stop Advanced Action

I have an advanced action playing which has a number of "Delay Next Actions By" commands within it.  It is in the form of a popup with an audio track and a sequence of images.  On closing the popup window, I can get the audio to stop with a stop triggered audio command, however, the action itself continues to play since there are time delays within it.  Is there command to get this action to stop playing when I click to close the popup?  I'm using captivate 9.

Thanks,

Jeff

    No, once the action is starting it will continue, not taking into account anything. I think (no time to check it out) that if you go to another slide and come back to re-enter the slide it would stop. Which event do you use to start the action?

    To Start the action, I'm simply clicking on a hotspot which executes the advanced action described above.

    If clicking something is supposed to immediately stop what is happening you will NOT be able to achieve it the way you have currently designed this interaction.  You need to redesign it. 

    I suggest you have all this on a different slide and just jump to that slide rather than trying to do everything within a popup on the same slide.  Then you can use an Action to jump to a different slide to terminate whatever is happening.
