[Captivate 6] Completion indicator using conditional actions

Hi there,

I am looking to implement a completion indicator in the shape of an image appears beside the link to a specific section to show it's has been visited, to achieve this I did the following

  1. [Slide 1] 3 buttons (smart shape set to use as button), 3 images (set to invisible on output) Image1, Image 2 and Image3
  2. [Slide 2] 1 button link back to slide 1
  3. [Slide 3] 1 button link back to slide 1
  4. [Slide 4] 1 button link back to slide 1

Variables :

  • Sec1Done, value 0
  • Sec2Done, value 0
  • Sec3Done, value 0

Conditional Actions :

  • IF [Sec1Done] is equal to 1 THEN show Image1
  • IF [Sec2Done] is equal to 1 THEN show Image2
  • IF [Sec3Done] is equal to 1 THEN show Image3

Action (On Enter) :

  • [Slide] Assign Sec1Done with 1
  • [Slide] Assign Sec2Done with 1
  • [Slide] Assign Sec3Done with 1

Now, when I click the link to section 1 (slide 1) then click the back button (slide 2) the Image1 does not appear, so is the same for slides 3 and 4.

I have included a link to the project (hosted on box.com) hopefully to make it more clear

Bit difficult, have several blog posts about similar setups, but don't understand your explanation. You don't indicate which events are triggering the actions at all. Why not use the Back buttons to change also the value of the variables? And which event is triggering the conditional action? I suspect it is the On Enter event of the Menu slide?

I suspect you want something like this, watch the movie:

Take a look at this tutorial as well:

It might help with working out what you need to do.

Hi RodWard,

Thanks for the link, this is exactly the video I followed to get the same results with no luck.. I was going to post it as part of my question

I saw this video on YouTube couple of weeks back and I have been trying to replicate the process since, I did exactly the same steps including using the same template, same names and everything but for some reason the tick mark is not showing

Do you mind looking at the captivate file I have attached or if you want me to post any screens to help identify the issue, I will be very grateful.
