Question

Responsive design - Insert new slide

I'm creating a HTML 5 app using Captivate 9. Within the app I want to add a button that when clicked opens a new slide. Every time the button is clicked a new slide should open. Is this possible? Is some additional coding needed?

thanks

Gary

    Hi yes created in PhoneGap. If a new slide can't be created in runtime then I'm guessing the only way to do this will be with some additional code?

    thanks

    You don't need additional code.  Lilybiri gave you the tip.  You just have to add slides in your project that are set as the Jumpt to Slide targets of the buttons.  The slide is always there in the slide order. You're just using the button clicks to navigate to the slide rather than 'opening' it over the top of another slide.  In Captivate projects the end user is only ever really looking at one slide at a time.  Anything else that they see is sitting ON that slide and is either SHOWN by default or else SHOWN or HIDDEN by Actions.

    Are you talking about an app created with Phonegap?

    You don't 'hide' nor 'show' slides in Captivate on runtime, you can only navigate to slides. A button or another interactive object has a Success event, which is fired when the object is clicked (or for a Text Entry Box when a value is entered, if it has not to be validated). Using that event (look in the Actions tab) you can launch a command, one of them being 'Jump to Slide....'
