Any way to simulate a user drawing a straight line in Captivate 6?

I'm trying to create a software simulation. While most of the user interaction with the software involves just clicking buttons and entering values in various fields, there is one place where the user has to draw a straight line from one point to another. Basically, I would like Captivate to dynamically display the line as it is being drawn (i.e., getting longer as the mouse moves away from the starting point).

Is there any way this can be done in Captivate? Thanks.

Hello,

Welccome to Adobe Forums.

Software Simulation (Automatic Recording) create slides on event based (Keyboard button press or Click on Mouse)

When you draw something it will not show you the drawing at the time of recording, for that you can use Video Demo

Thanks,

Vikram

I am not creating a demo to show the viewer how to draw a line. I want the viewer of the simulation that I am creating to draw a line when prompted. Upon successful completion of this task, they will go on to the next. Does this make sense? Is this something that can be done with Captivate or would it require some Flash or HTML5? Thank you.

This would require specialist programming in AS3. It might also be possible with really fancy JavaScript, but I think Flash ActionScript would be your best bet. If you wanted the interactivity tied in with Captivate, your best bet would be to build this as an Interactive Widget. If you have little or no AS3 skills of your own, you'd need to engage the services of a programmer to pull it off.
