Question

how can I gray out a button after being clicked without losing my button action?

I have buttons that open video files but I want to gray them out after they've been selected. How can I do that without disabling the button's ability to open the video?

    Which version do you use? For which output: SWF or HTML?

    Reason for my first question: if it is Captivate 9 you can use a custom state to show up instead of the Normal state after first click. I used this in the examples of:

    1 action = 5 Toggle Buttons - Captivate blog

    If you use a previous version, it is important to know the output. For SWF you can easily put a non-interactive object over an interactive one without losing the interactivity, for HTML output this is not always working.

    I have other ideas, but wait for your answers.

    My bad...I'm on version 9.  I'll investigate your advice.  Thank you for replying.

    Definitely use a state in that case. You can also replace the original button by another button with same action, but be sure in that case to Disable and Hide the first button, then Show and Enable the next one.
