Good morning,

All of the slides have a seekbar, but it goes all the way across (with a
pause button) during the first layer. When it goes to the 2nd (or third)
layer, it just sits there with the full bar filled in and just a play
button. There's no way to pause if the phone rings or someone comes to the
door -- it just continues until it gets to the next slide, when a pause
button appears again. The slides and layers have audio, animated text
boxes, and graphics. I just want to it play continuously like a video
(which it does) but I'd like the user to be able to pause it if they get
interrupted or want more time to look at something on the screen.

Thanks,

Hi there Alison!  I'm curious about your layer properties. Here's a setup that would allow you to pause each layer:

I made a quick mock up file with layers that still show the base layer, and each layer has its own seekbar action.  I'm attaching that file.  Can you let me know how your setup differs, and maybe we can brainstorm?  Feel free to attach your file as well.

    OK, that seems to fix it, but I'm confused as to why not checking "Hide
    slide layer when timeline finishes" and "Prevent the user from clicking on
    the base layer" disables the pause button.

    Thanks,
