Question

Creating Custom Buttons in Captivate 3

  • March 27, 2008

In the first version of Captivate, I was able to create my own image buttons, including the three states of the button (over, down, click). When I select one of the included buttons in Captivate 3, the three states of that button are added automatically. How do I create my own custom buttons and include the three states in Captivate 3?

Thanks,
Erica

    Hi Erica and welcome to our community

    The process is essentially the same. The only difference here is that instead of just browsing to the button images and selecting them individually, you name them appropriately and place them where Captivate expects to find them.

    They are expected to be found in the following location: (Assuming you haven't deviated from the default location during install)
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 3\Gallery\Buttons

    The names should be:
    ButtonName_down.EXT
    ButtonName_over.EXT
    ButtonName_up.EXT

    *Note that .EXT reflects the image format. This could be .GIF or .JPG or .PNG or .BMP and ButtonName reflects what you want to call your button.

    Hope this helps... Rick
