Question

Assign two actions to one button

Hello,

I have multiple buttons on one slide that all open up different resource pdf documents. I would like a green tick to appear when the user clicks a button, to show that they have viewed this document. How can I assign two actions to one button?

Many thanks.

    Hi there,

    To do this there are two things tou will have to do.

    Firstly add the tick you want to appear on your slide but un the properties uncheck 'Visible at output', this means that the tick will not appear when played. Also give the shape a name 'Tick1' fpr this example.

    You then have to create an advanced action. Project > Advanced actions and create a standard action that you will asign to the button in question, this action needs to 'open the PDF document' and 'SHOW Tick1'

    http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/advanced-actions.html may help for creating advanced actions if you have never done it before.

    Then on your button in the 'on success' tab select execute advanced action and select the action you have created.

    Hope this helps
