Question

'On Enter' not executing conditional action - captivate 8

Hi

I have a simple advanced action where if a variable is equal to '1' a button should show and another be hidden.

I've added a text box with the variable in to test that on entering the slide from the correct part of the file it is equal to '1' which you can see in the image below.

But for some reason the conditional action doesn't seem to be triggering when entering the slide.

'Tabletcontinue' is the the image in the screen shot that is always showing.

'backtometer' is the button that is hidden on output that should show when the variable is equal to 1.

However it's not. I've tried adding in a section in the 'else' tab which is a reverse of what's in the 'actions' tab.

I also tried a test and changed the conditional action to simply hide the 'tabletcontinue' button if the variable was equal to '1'.

But it didn't make any difference as it seemed on entering the slide the conditional action just wasn't triggering.

Any ideas on what's stopping it from working? Below is an image of the timeline to help.

Try adding Enable after Show for the button and Disable before Hide for the

other button.

I've just tried that.

I deleted the variable and the existing conditional action and started again.

So I had if 'view meter is equal to 1'

Disable 'tabletcontinue'

Hide 'tabletcontiue'

Show 'backtometer'

Enable 'backtometer'

It's still not working, it's really strange.

I might try rebuilding the slide and see if that works.

Sorry, on my phone I have no access to Captivate. Try adding Continue. I

suspect the buttons are in same location?
