Previous button and then End of Timeline

Question

Is there a way to have a previous button go to the previous slide, but stop at the end of the timeline instead of playing from the beginning?  So say slide 1 plays for 3 seconds then stops.  If you hit next you're on Slide 2.  There's a Previous button on slide 2.  When you hit it, I want ti to go to the end of the timeline on slide 1 instead of playing those 3 seconds.  Is this possible?

Answer 1

I'm not very good at JS, so always look for a workaround with advanced actions. Is this possible:
After the animation add a static shot of the last frame of the animation, that can be very short (0.1secs = 3 frames)
Then I would use a shared action On Enter of each slide, that stores the start frame of that slide in a user variable v_start. That variable will be reused on each slide. When you are on the slide with the Previous button it will have stored the value of the first frame of that slide.
      Assign v_start with cpInfoCurrentFrame
For the Previous button create a shared action that will be something like this:
      Expression cpCmndGotoFrame = v_start - 3
I didn't check it out, maybe you'll have to test it and it could be that you need a slightly different number in that last Expression.
Since it is a shared action, without any parameters, you can apply it on each On Enter Slide event and for each Previous button where you want that functionality
