CP5.5: Display a button with click box feedback

Hi.

I am using Captivate 5.5. I want to display a button (Next) at the same time the click box feedback is displayed (the correct and incorrect feedback). User must click the button to advance to the next slide. I want the feedback to stay onscreen until user clicks the Next button.

Slide is a question screen that shows a map of Europe, they have to click on a particular country. If they click anywhere else it is incorrect.

I tried Advanved Actions - hiding the Next button on entering slide, then executing an advanced action to display the Next button when the click box is clicked. I thought that as soon as the clickbox is clicked the Next button and feedback would be displayed. But the Next button is displayed after the feedback. (altering the feedback timing made no difference).

So any idea how to display a button with the click box feedback?

Thanks

Donal.

Hi again,

Just checked it out, and should have read more carefully. Do I get your question correct: you have a map, and only one click box over the correct location?

In that case, no need for a conditional action, if you can limit the attempts to 1. Use the Success action to trigger an advanced action like this:

   Show TxtCorrect

   Hide TxtWrong     not really necessary if there is only 1 attempt

   Show BtNext

For the After last Attempt you create a similar standard action.

Do you want to allow more attempts, and have the Next button displayed after the first attempt? In that case I would have a second click box under the first one. That second should cover the total map. Then use the Success action for both: the big click box will display TxtWrong, the small click box TxtWrong

You'll have to get rid of the default feedback captions, create your own feedback captions (or shapes filled with Text) that you make invisible by checking that option in the Properties panel, like you did for the Next button. Then create an advanced action, conditional in this case, that will display the appropriate feedback and the Next button.

Hi Lilybiri,

What do I put in the "IF" statement?
