Format Painter

Can a format painter be created using Advanced Actions? Or any other way in Captivate 9? I know that Storyline 2 has both a format and an animation painter available.

No format painter (MS) in Captivate. Use the Object styles: there is an object style manager. If you use styles in a consistent way, managing a project is a lot easier. If the client wants another fill, color, stroke for a type of object, you can just change the style and have it propagated to all those objects. I would call that a lot better practice than the format painter. Object styles are part of the theme, as are the master slides and the skin. Applying a theme to another project is also very easy.

Advanced actions are triggered by events, you can use them to change states of an object, but that is another subject.
