Stopping Play for Hot Spots

In Captivate 9, I have a slide with 6 hotspots, each linked to an external resource, and a Next button. I want the user to click all, some, or none of the links they want, then click Next to move on.

But it doesn’t work that way. Seems like when they click a second external link, the slides move on without them ever clicking Next. Why? I tried creating a hidden hotspot with Pause Project Until User Clicks, but that doesn't seem to change anything.

I have the hotspots set for Continue Playing Project and Infinite Attempts. I have the Next button set for Infinite Attempts and timed to pause at the end of the slide.

Correct answer Lilybiri

Take out the option 'Continue playing project'. Have all the hotspots -

which are probably shapes used as buttons - pausing at the same time. Pause

of Next button can be same time or later.

Thank you! That worked except for a new twist.  I have an audio introduction. If the user clicks a link before the intro is finished, it pauses the audio.

Is there a way around this?

Is this slide audio? Do you need CC? If not, maybe you could use the command Play audio?
