On screen distance measurement

I am working on a interactive video in which the video needs to pause at certain times to allow students to measure the distace between two points. Is there a way to be able to drop one point in one location then click and drag the second point to display the distance on screen and then once the second point is dropped, the number stays on screen until the student unpases the video?

It may be possible with JS but what do you mean by 'distance'? In pixels, taking into account the display resolution of the screen? Maybe you should clarify more.

You talk about an interactive video, which means this has to happen on an overlay content slide, not on the video.

I have never personally seen this done in Captivate because it does not have any default functionality to support what you want to do. You would need to have a custom JavaScript solution developed by a programmer.

Thank you for your insight! I was afraid of that. Would you happen to know how or if I can then just add a graphic of a ruler and then have it able to be freally moved aroung by the student? Thank you so much!

That's a good compromise and certainly within capability for Captivate.
