If my description is correct, you do not need advanced actions nor variables. This has made the development of courses faster and better. Users can test courses with the preview LMS feature, and track the performance of learners as they complete quizzes and other tasks. It allows users to rapidly author responsive, interactive learning eLearning content, as well as mobile HTML-5 learning content. Captivate 9 introduced last year has many upgrades and enhancements compared to its earlier version. Adobe Captivate is an elearning authoring and course design tool (or LCMS).

To achieve this, use the On Enter action for slide 1 and Assign the value 0 to the system variable cpCmndShowPlaybar (that variable is available in the dropdown list after you choose Assign). Adobe Captivate 9 is one of the top rapid authoring tools available today to create interactive e-learning courses.

You will have to turn off the playbar, because the Next button on the playbar will always go to the physically next slide. if the user gets to slide 2 because of the button, afterwards he continues to slide 3.if the user is on slide 1, but does click a button, he has to be navigated to slide 2.If the user is on slide 1, but doesn't click the button, he has to be navigated to slide 3.If you could explain bit more detailed, or confirm what I understood from your post, I'll try to explain step by step:

My blog is dedicated mostly to those advanced actions. I'm not a programmer either, but Advanced actions and variables are not the 'real stuff', lot easier to handle but also less powerful.
