Rise lesson is jumping down to storyline block at start

Is there some JavaScript or something that I can put in to help stop this? I noticed that this didn't happen before I changed the tab order and alt tags for things in my Storyline file to make it screen reader accessible. Once I did change those things and put it back into Rise, it started to happen. If I pause the timeline at the beginning, the motion paths won't work like they're supposed to before any interactivity from a user. I don't see how changing tab order and alt tags created this problem, but pausing the timeline, or putting a continue button at the beginning, or having the Storyline file in a separate lesson is just bad user experience for my Rise course. Was there an object in the tab order that keeps this from happening? Because if so, I didn't notice it while defining alt tags and tab order. Any kind of work around without changing the user's experience would be wonderful! 

Thanks
