Captivate 2017 Applying effects in Advanced Actions

Question

Hello,I'm trying to have a button that will remain during an activity of the course to expand and collapse a toolbar reference that will assist the learner in the activity. (kind of functions like a TOC, comes in from the side and when it collapses moves back into the original entrance spot).Anyway to do this?I currently have an advanced conditional script going on so when I click the button to reveal the toolbar references it has the effect "from right to left effect " however when I try to collapse it with the effect "from left to right)" it keeps playing the right to left effect.

Logic is not correct in your action. In such a case you have to toggle the variable in both parts: THEN and ELSE. What is the star value of that Boolean variable? If it is 0, the action should be:

IF v_toolba is equal to 0

Toggle v_toolbar

Apply Effect Left to Right

ELSE

Toggle v_toolbar

Apply Effect Right to Left

BTW: the Pr"eview button in the AA dialog box is the first button in the top right control panel (looks like an arrow). Explore this blog post:

Did you create custom effects to use? You need two motion paths which are exactly the opposite. Maybe this blog post could help a little bit:

If you could please post a preview of your advanced action? Check the exact version number as well: should be 10.0.1.285.
