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.

    Correct answer Lilybiri

    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)

      Thank you soo much for your help.

       

      I have a had some training but the training I had did not cover the shared action but only covered advance action.  I 'm a articulate storyline user. 

      Because on storyline, there is button for When Revisiting (Resume saved state) which is the last time you are on the page, all animation and audio are already completed and will not replay and the button takes you to different slides. 

       

      I've attached what I'm trying to achieve and storyline screenshot because everything I tried the instructions online ,the audio and animation starts again. 

      Only want the animation on timeline to play once and every time you back to the slid, all the audio and animation are completed and next button not visible until all action are selected. 

       

      I was hoping for something as simple action has articulate storyline but it seems everything is in advance action and share action. 


      it also seems like what I'm trying to achieve seems a little comepleted on Captivate. Some of the ideas on what I'm trying to achieve was not in the training so I have to use online forum , chat  or FAQ for help.
