Problem: Looking for way to have user click on button to go to specific place on timeline

ActivePresenter version: Version 10.1.1 - 64-bit. (Released: 2026.01.30)

OS: Mac Latest

Notes: Hi, I am looking at an option so when a user clicks on a button, it will take them to a specific time on the timeline (on the same slide). I wondered if it could be done with labels but cannot see this option (although I see it is on Saolo Animate).

So I’m looking for 1 of to options

1. On click \> Go to 6:00:00 on timeline or
2. On click \> Go to label titled ‘x” on timeline

If I’m missing something obvious I apologise. I have looked through the manual and the forums here so not sure this is even possible!

Many thanks

Steve

Hello Steve,

To jump to a specific time on the timeline, the most straightforward way is to use the built-in system variable `apCurrentSlideProgress`. This variable stores the current playback position of the slide in milliseconds.

You can set it up by adding an **Adjust Variable** action to the **On Click** event of the object/button, as shown below.

Besides that, you can also use an **Execute JavaScript** action in the **On Click** event:

```javascript
// Jump to 10 seconds (10000ms)
prez.slideTime(10000);

```

I was looking for this function the other day, too. This would be a nice addition to v11 – “Jump to time”.
