Persistent down state for button

Question

Hello,I am using a shape as a button. the rollover state  reveals a map svg . On the down state I want the map to persist in the down state  so that a user can then either rollover  a different button briefly and see the  two 50% transparent SVG images overlapping showing the overlapping species distribution.If I solve this I would still need to allow a user end the down state by clicking a second time. My guess is that it might be possible if I know the right on success action. Is what I want to do impossible unless I want to use more complex interactions with radio buttons and check boxes etc. Thanks.

Captivate has the normal behavior for those InBuilt states of buttons and shape buttons: the Down state is only appearing when the mouse is in that state. You can add a custom state 'Done' that will only be able to replace the 'Normal' state, by adding a command to the action you want to be executed by that button:

Change state of button to Done

In that custom state you can not only change the look of that state (maybe have a duplicate state of the Down state, but even add other elements like a check mark.

A slightly different work flow, for toggle buttons, is demonstrated in this blog post:

You cannot remain in the Down state. You need to add a new state and use Advanced Actions to change to that state after the button is clicked.
