So, i'm making a project in captivate 2017, to export in HTML5 as a responsive project. The project i am working on is basically an update of an older project that used widgets, and they are not compatible with html5, so i tried making a substitute with advanced actions. since i need more than one widget substitute i was wondering if there is some alternative way of identifying an object, that can be repeated in the same presentation, so i don't have to make 50 different actions.

Can you please offer more details about that 'advanced actions'? Maybe a shared action. What were those widgets? The interactions, replacing the widgets, are compatible with HTML5 published output.

I am trying to make some advanced actions that, when a button is clicked, a textbox is shown, and all other previous textbox in the group are hidden, to substitute a widget that had a number of buttons that would reveal text when you pressed them. as far as i know the only problem is that i can't have two objects with the same name on a single project, so i either make a different action for every instance of every button or i find another way of identifying the textboxes

Use shared actions. Group the text containers (shapes or captions). For each click you hide the group and show the appropriate text container. That means two parameters.

If you are on CP9 or later, alternative is to use states, and change the state. States can have the same name in several mutlistate objects.
