Hello,
I am trying to create a whirpool like wave effect on a image with a mouse click.
This following url is what I am trying to achieve with captivate.

http://www.gautamsaha.com/bigsky/assessment.swf

The was created using the hotspot quiz type feature of "articulate"
When you click on any part of the map with mouse, a nice wavelike ripple shows.
When you click again on another part of the map, the same feature shows.

I have tried hard...but I cant seem to figure out how to do this with Captivate.
Can anyone help?

Hi gotham1 and welcome to our community

I'm sorry, but Captivate doesn't offer such a feature. I'm not sure I can even think of a workaround. I'm guessing that you would almost certainly have to use Flash to create a widget for this that you could drop into Captivate.

Thanks Rick.
When you say make a flash widget and drop it in captivate, do you mean adding the widget to the captivate gallery or do you mean inserting a completely new animation swf page in the project?

The first option still wont work since there is nothing in captivate to enable mouse interaction with a flash widget.
The following link shows what I made in flash. Still not sure how to integrate this in captivate, except to add this swf as a new slide animation.

Hi again gotham1

When I say "create a widget", I'm referring to what I've seen my fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst do. You can check his stuff out by clicking here.

Your statement regarding adding this to the gallery somewhat confuses me, as almost any object you add appears in the gallery. Further I'm confused with the comment regarding there being nothing in Captivate to enable interaction with Flash things. I'm really hopeful that you will check out Paul's stuff, as he has done many such things.

I think your approach is what Paul uses. That is, dropping the Flash created .SWF onto a Captivate slide as an animation.

Cheers... Rick
