Custom Button to Toggle Showing/Hiding of TOC

Okay, next question -

Is there a variable that I'm not seeing/finding that enables the following use case:

I place a custom button on the slide. When the user clicks the button, the TOC is shown. When they click it again, the TOC is hidden.

Please tell me this exists! : )

I am aware that the skins have a show/hide button and it works as I want my custom button to work, but it does not fit into the UI I have setup.

    I have a free widget that will allow you to do just that provided that you are using CP5 / CP5.5.

    You can download the widget here: http://www.cpguru.com/2010/10/14/free-toc-button-widget-for-adobe-captivate-4-as3-and-adobe-captivate-5/

    Hallo Michael,

    I am deeply grateful for this widget.

    I'm trying to insert a command to stop the timeline when the user clicks the TOC button.

    In this regard, I researched AS3 code on your site but can not find reference

    you may kindly show AS3 code of this widget on this forum or on your website?

    Thank you very much!!

    I second Cris' request - the code sample would be much appreciated.

    No sorry, there is no such system variable available. Lot of users, including me, have asked for it but without success. You can lock the TOC (so that user cannot navigate using it) with a system variable, but no way to hide/show the TOC, except the small buttons (that you can replace by your own buttons) in the TOC itself.
