Rollover Caption Border

I have a specific use case, and I haven't been able to make it work. I want a rollover caption area to show a border, but only when the mouse cursor rolls over it, with the same timing as the caption itself. Can anyone tell me if this can be done in Captivate 8?

Correct answer RodWard

In your version (Captivate 8) or earlier versions you can do it with the Event Handler widget, but only for SWF output. Not HTML5.

In Captivate 9 it's easy to do this with the new Object States feature.  If this is very important to your project, you might find it worth upgrading.

Thanks, Rod, I'll see if that's an option for us.

Rollover slidelet has a rollover event that could be used to show a rectangular shape with Fill 0%. But the issue is that there is no rollout event: you will not be able to have that shape disappear once it has become visible.

Thanks, I looked at that as an option, but it doesn't really do what I want it to.

Actually, I've been playing with rollover slidelet a bit more and it seems to be working, but I can't change the frame thickness (the default is very thick). I'm going to see if we can upgrade to Captivate 9.
