Captivate 9 State View Problem

Hi all,

I encountered this same issue today and it is very frustrating.  I have figured a few things out and wanted to share with everyone.

When Inserting a Button from "Interactions > Button":

1. All three initial states (Normal, RollOver, Down are in the middle of the screen.
2. You can move the Normal state to a new location, however, the RollOver and Down states will stay in the middle of the slide

To put the RollOver, Down, and any other states in the correct position:

1. Select the button whose states you want to change.
2. Click the STATE VIEW button in the Properties window.
3. On the Left side in the OBJECT STATES pane, right click on the state you want to move
4. Left click on RESET STATE.
5. The state will then jump to the location of the Normal state
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other states you have that you want moved
7. When done click on EXIT STATE at the top of the screen.

I also found that it was helpful to create a new Style for my states.

1. With your buttons all in the correct location make the Normal state look the way you would like it to look.
2. In the Properties pane select the next state you wish to style.
3. Once done, style the rest of your states
4. When done styling, click the button to the right of "Style Name".  It looks like 4 horizontal lines with an upside down triangle just on its left.
5. Select CREATE STYLE, and name your style.

Now that you have a new default button style it becomes only about 4-5 steps to make all your buttons function the same.

1. Create your button and move it to the desired position
2. Enter "State View" and Rest State on your states
3. Exit State View
4. Select your button, and apply your new style.

I only figured this out about 30 minutes ago and haven't done much testing.  I wanted to share it before I forgot. : )

Finally figured out a solution with the state view issue we're having.

Step 1: Create a new responsive project.

Step 2: Create a new button interaction with the new responsive project.

Step 3: Set the button states based on whatever button style you select (i.e. image, text, transparent).

Step 4: Preview the project just to make sure the button is behaving how it should.

Step 5: If it's what you want, cut and paste the button into your original responsive project and the 'over' and 'down' states will be in sync with the 'normal' state regardless of where you move it.

Hope that helps.

Hello everyone,

I faced the same problem as well. I was using an image button. Here's what i did, on the state view, i right-clicked the rollover state and reset the state. This got the button to the original position, thereafter, I made the necessary changes.

I had a similar issue last week, the resolution was i had unchecked lock size and position, for whatever, buggy, reason this does not work all the time.

Thanks,

Josh

I've been having the exact same problem!! When I add a button interaction to my responsive project and move it some where, it seems to be only moving the "up" state and not the "over" or "down". Those get locked in the original position when the button interaction was added. Therefore when you hover, the up state appears in the modified location while the "over" and "down" states appear in the original location.

Hi there,

Can you please try creating another responsive project, Reopen the above mentioned project, Reposition the button slightly and see it resolves the issue.

Thanks,
