Question

Reset the position of an object after an effect has been played

Hi there,

I have an effect on a group of objects. It is a risk meter. When a user clicks on the button "high" there is an advanced action that moves the needed called "grp_Needle_01" to the left. The thing is that if I click a second time the button "high", the needed goes further left, etc.

This behaviour is normal, but how can I make it so when I click on "high" the needed goes back to the 0 position (in the centre) and moves to the left the same way it does when I click the "high" button the first time.

There is an easy option in Storyline that solves this. I was thinking that there should be a way to do that with Advanced actions in Captivate.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Bobby

    The easiest trick to reset an effect is to re-enter the slide. That can be done with a dummy slide of a very short duration (0,1sec) before the present slide and the command 'Go to Previous Slide'. Alternative is with micro-navigation.

    Thanks Lieve

    I would prefer to avoid re-entering the slide.

    The pause is at frame 31. There is something that i am not doing right

    Re-entering is necessary, whether with a dummy slide or with micronavigation.

    Alternative is to create the opposite effect and apply it. No that easy with motion paths, or you could use the XML file to create a custom effect.
