Question

Can you create a 'Home' page within CP9 which replicates a web based page?

Hi,

I have created a  'home' page for a large project and we need it to work as a web page would. For example:

There is a banner along the top containing content section headers, when you roll over a section header a sub menu appears. We now want to add rollovers onto each of the items on the sub menu which would:

  1. change the state of that item on the sub-menu whilst the mouse is over the rollover and
  2. allows the user to click on the item within the submenu to navigate to a new page

Like a webpage we do not want the user to have to click to see the menu, the only action requiring a click should be if they choose to navigate away from the page using one of the sub menu links.

We have tried using States (but you cannot add buttons or SmartShapes which are buttons to the state), Rollover Slidelets and Advanced Actions, but cannot seem to get it right.

Does anyone know a way of doing this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

    This is not built into Captivate. I teach students to do this using the roll over capability of slidelets and show - hide buttons. It can be done but with the future of flash?

    I have a question.  Is this large project going to be published to an LMS?

    If so, will it be intended to work as a multi-module course where this HOME page is supposed to launch other modules?

    If so, you may be in trouble.

    Absolutely agree - would only use for a single "self contained" project.
