Question

Captivate 7 - Merge both Standard and conditional actions on one click box?

Hi All,

I have a situation where i am trying to make a pop up caption occur after all 9 click boxes have been clicked within the slide.

Each click box within the slide is already set up with standard actions to show and hide their corresponding content.  However what i need is a conditional action on each click box to say, when clicked box count = 9, show the final caption.

I can't find a way to do this, as i can't seem to have the click boxes both showing and hiding content uncondtionally and then add the condition that if the variable has reached 9, also show that final caption.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

    This is another reason why I NEVER end up using Standard Actions.  You can make a Conditional Advanced Action work like a Standard Action by using a dummy condition (IF 1 == 1) but you can never turn a Standard Action into a Conditional Action no matter what you do.

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    There are plenty of threads where I explained this situation. Maybe this old article, explaining how to use a decision to create a standard advanced action within a conditional advanced action will help:
