Changing text button display?

Thanks! I played around with my button options after posting this and I created a viable workaround. I put a transparent text box that says "Quiz Me!" on the slide and layered a transparent button with a 90% fill over it:

While this isn't the way I'd hoped to create it and I had the extra step of adding the transparent text, the end result is what I was looking for. Thanks for your ideas!

Hi Krista,

I'm not using 5.5 yet but if it is like 4, there's no facility to change the text button colour.

However, you are not stuck with the buttons that ship with captivate.

You can create your own image button using Photoshop or some other image editing program.

They really are just images and Captivate takes care of the button functionality, so you have to do is create your own images (three, even if you only want to use 2 states) buttonName_up.png (or .bmp), buttonName_down.png (or .bmp), and buttonName_over.png (or .bmp). Put the buttons in a folder you want and when you insert the button object and select image button, navigate to that folder and select one of the images and Captivate "knows" based on the file name, what state they are.(down, over, up).

You can make them anysize, shape, or colour you want.

Hint: I create mine using layers in one image file.

Not sure how button selection and advanced interactions are linked here. You can associate an advanced interaction to a button you create.

Cheers,

Michael
