Question

Trying to Simulate A Rollover (the user needs to perform a rollover in a simulation NOT a click)

In a simulation of how to create a Bookmark, I am trying to get the user to Rollover  an item in a drop down menu in an effort to have a side menu display. Basically, instead of (simulating) Clicking on the menu item and having a side menu display, I just need the user to (simulate)Rollover the image.  I am not sure where to start, Advanced Actions, JavaScript.  Am I missing something? It seems like it would be a simple thing to do.  Please help.  Any information you have will be helpful.  Thanks

Note: In the image below, the user needs to simulate Rolling Over the menu item Recently Bookmarked and then having the side menu show.

    Captivate does not have good support for this kind of interaction.

    The only native object capable of executing an action based on a rollover event is the Rollover Slidelet.

    In your case, you would need to place the hit area of the slidelet over the Recently Bookmarked option and then use the On Rollover event of the slidelet to jump to another slide where you have a screenshot that shows the context menu over the same background.

    The Event Handler widget from Infosemantics is able to do better than this because it can give you both Rollover and Rollout events to trigger actions.  But neither it nor the rollover slidelet are compatible with HTML5, in case that matters.
