Can I pause in the middle of a conditional action?

[Guest]

Hi,

Using Captivate 6, is it possible to introduce a pause during a conditional action, so that I can, for example show some text, pause for 2 seconds then show a second bit of text, or do I have to jump out of the conditional action, use the timeline then create a second conditional action.

Many thanks Mike

Advanced Actions are triggered by events.  You have a limited number of events at your disposal, including On Click (from a button or clickbox), On Success, On Last Attempt, On Slide Enter, On Slide Exit, etc.  But there's no default event that you can use in the middle of the timeline on a slide.  It would require the user taking some action.

Many thanks Rod! I'll add a button.
