Hide All Highlight Boxes in a Project On Button Click

Hi there, 
Is a way to hide/show ALL highlight boxes without programming them all into an advanced action separately? 

Maybe Java Script?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Captivate on its own does not provide a way to do this but almost anything is possible in HTML5 output if you know enough JavaScript.

     

    Alternatively, if you don't want to have to learn JavaScript, then the CpExtra HTML5 widget allows you to automatically execute certain actions based on the Object Name of a slide object.

    More information here: https://widgetking.github.io/cpextra/variables/special-behaviour.html#syntax-and-syntax

    So the idea is that you can use a prefix or suffix on the object name to indicate whether or not you wanted particular objects to be shown or hidden at runtime.

    Hi Rod. I am excited that I took the plunge and purchased CPExtra. It looks like it will save me tons of time "fiddling" with JS. 

    Thanks, Susan
