Resuming audio after linking out to a URL

Question

I am able to link out to a URL and I have chosen  "Stop audio when clicked" on the button properties. My problem is that I cannot get the audio to resume when I return to Captivate except by pressing the play/pause button a couple of time. By this time the text on the screen is no longer in sync with the audio.
Any advice most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi MMDeaton
Are you using Captivate 2?
I don't believe you will be able to do this if the YouTube
video isn't in .FLV format. The only video format that I've seen
"embedded" inside Captivate in the manner you are describing is the
.FLV format. So I suppose you would first need to convert the
YouTube video to .FLV.
Assuming it already exists on YouTube in .FLV format and you
are using Captivate 2, the process should be pretty
straightforward. You click Insert > Flash Video... and point at
the URL for the video.
You link to Web Sites and URLs using either Button or Click
Box objects. I'm not sure what you meant to imply with your
statement, as normally you would either position the invisible
Click Box object over a logical area to be clicked or the Button
does indeed look like a button they click. Your statement sounds as
if users are fumbling around without the faintest clue as to what
to click. If that's the case, they need more visual cues.
