Question

Left-click, drag, release into next slide or continue

Hi,

I checked the forums for this interaction and am not successful.

It's a complex interaction that simulates software that lets you drag to zoom in an area. 

Any thoughts?  I haven't attempted to program this yet and I've been to enough forum postings to be familiar with Lily's drag & drop technique and Rod's Event Handler widget.  

Thanks.

Having something happen with a left mouse click or on mouse up isn't going to be the issue.

I think your main problem is going to be trying to replicate the boundary box that gets drawn but such an interaction.

Hi, 

Thanks for responding.  I've given up on trying to figure out the draw boundary line animation that goes with the zoom. I think I can still get the point across with the left-click, drag and continue to next page algorithm. 

Any ideas on how to do this within Captivate 9 without the use of custom widgets?

It may not be that difficult.

You actually need the action to happen ON Mouse UP when the user releases the left mouse button.  You're in luck!  Captivate interactive Shape buttons and Click Boxes actually DO perform their action ON MOUSE UP, not ON MOUSE DOWN.
