Hello,

(Please ignore if duplicate post)

Is there a way to capture global mouse clicks or get mouse position using  Captivate's Javascript?

Or, another questions, is there a way to control all Captivate's stage elements using Javascript VS using Captivates Builtin in Advanced Actions?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

IA

    This is possible with JavaScript.  But it's beyond the abilities of most Captivate users.

    Adobe has kindly provided some information about the Captivate JavaScript API here:

    We're currently developing extensions for this API to make it much easier for any Captivate user to do what you are asking about.  However, the product is not yet ready for release.  In the meantime you might like to start studying JavaScript yourself.  It seems to be the way of the future for sophisticated e-learning development.
