Hello Captivate Users

I need to create an interaction within Captivate (version 😎 that tiimes how long the left mouse is pressed. Is this even possible?

When the mouse is pressed, I need a bar to increase in size. Once a point has been reached - if they let go, then it'll result in a success. If too early, it'll result in a fail.

Is this type of interaction possible? I am fairly new to Captivate and not (yet) aware of its capabilities/limitation.

Thanks for any pointers,

Andy

For SWF output you could use the Event Handler widget to trigger one action on MouseDown and a different action on MouseUp.

So you could potentially use MouseDown to start something and MouseUp to stop it. But I'm not certain your idea of having a bar to increase in size would be that easy.

I have a similar solution for HTML5 but it's not quite ready yet.

Are you publishing to HTML5 or SWF?

Ideally html5 to allow it to run on mobile devices, but swf is an option too.
