Trigger Advanced Action

Is there a way to trigger an advanced action other than "success" (clicking on a button)? I know you can trigger one by entering or exiting a slide, but can you do it based on entering a specific frame or by the appearance of an object on the stage, without user interaction?

Thank you,

Jeff

Jim Leichliter created a Time Based Actions widget that would trigger an action when the playhead reached a certain place on the timeline. Jim is no longer active in the Captivate world, but you may be able to still download his free widget at Adobe Captivate 6.x Free Widget: Time Based Actions - CaptivateDev.com. While it's designed for Captivate 6 or 7and SWF output, it may work for you. I just tried it in CP9 and it worked.

All Captivate interactivity is event-based. Most of the events are the result of some kind of user interaction, but there are a few others.

Are you publishing for SWF or HTML5?

It depends on the project I'm working on, but I'm publishing to both. If it can only work in the SWF that's OK though.

There is a new HTML5 widget called CpExtra that allows you to configure your own Event Listeners for HTML5 projects. That expands the number of events you can use but it doesn't (as yet) mean you can turn anything you want into an event to trigger actions.
