URGENT HELP!!!!!!1

Can captivate resume slide on the last action. 

For example,  I have a slide that has animation entrance, audio and all interactive button came in with the audio timeline. 

When the user click on the button it takes them to another slide but when they return, the whole audio and animation played all over again. Is there a way I can set it as on revisit you can continue from a specific time stamp on the timeline but the next button will not show until all other button has been seletcted. 

 

Thank you for your help.

    You want to run a marathon without any training? 

    You only need to know how to use a shared action. Here are two videos. If I needed to create videos for all the use cases I have on my blog, it would be a full-time activity without any ROI, similar to the blog which has taken thousands of hours so far.

    BTW there s no Preview action tab. The advanced actions dialog box has a button which creates a Preview of the advanced or shared action? You find a complete explanation of that dialog box in:

    The 'micro-navigation' which is used in the shared action is explained here:

    For the states you need to check the button 'Retain State...'

    For the rest use this shared action which can be used both for the audio and the other things happening on a slide to refrain them from replaying on second and later visits. It follows on two other blogs (Force first view and Play Audio only first time)
