Question

NEED HELP - How to pause a slide until rolling over a specific area.

Hello,

We are trying to pause a slide until a user rolls over a specific area without clicking. At that point we would like to use a state to show a drop-down menu and play audio. The audio would then need to continue through the end of the slide and not stop if the user moves the cursor out of the state boundary. We are using Captivate 2019 and will be publishing in HTML so we would be unable to use a rollover slidelet. All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hmmm,, rollover is not supported on mobile devices. Out of the box Captivate has only one rollover event that could trigger an action: linked to the Rollover slidelet, but I would not recommend at all to use it anymore for HTML output.

    If your goal is only for dekstop/laptop browsers personally I would use the CpExtra widget by InfoSemantics which allows to create a lot more events. Maybe you also need the Rollout event. Altenrative is to use JS. A rollover state is not an option, because that is not really an event which can trigger an action.
