Pausing slides using Javascript

[Gamashire]

Hello everyone!

I need to pause a slide using Javascript if possible. I tried using window.cpAPIInterface.pause(); to no avail. I suppose it's because I use it in a SCORM file, and not in a video format, but I have not found any other way to pause the simulation using Javascript.

Is there something I'm missing?

P.S. I tried that function as a standalone javascript on entry of a slide, so it's definitely this function that's not working.

Try setting the system variable cpCmndPause to 1.

Why does it have to be JS? There is a command Pause available for each event.

Thank you Lieve.

It had to be in JS because it was part of a larger script that I could not handle in Advanced Actions. I tested that function by itself, in addition to a number of different methods such as window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("cpCmndPause",1);

Nothing has worked and eventually I just worked around the problem instead.
