User defined status locked

Question

Hi, is there a possibility that I can freely move and scale the objects in a custom state? I can't change anything with the lock, but I don't know how to get rid of the lock. Thanks for any help.

Ok, so thats an interactive object. Thank you.

I want to replace the rollover function with an click funktion. So i click on a picture, another picture appears. I click a second time, it shows the picture before. That is all i want But it should work in the future for tablets with touch function.

I know it can work! See here in thos example, there i have no lock and i can resize the image that popups bei klicken on a shape below. There is no lock! But i dont understand what i do wrong. I activate the "'Use as button" und create a new cutom state.

I tried to explain, but you don't seem to understand. You are very new to Captivate? Probably using German version? Or another language anyway. If it is German, I understand even if you write in Goethe's language.

That example can even be a button. Itt has a Normal state which is empty (will probably be a shape with Alpha and stroke set to 0). What you show in the screenshot for the custom state has a RED border. The locked state in your first screenshot has a BLUE border, which is indicating the locked size of the original Normal state. Just add another image either with the Media button or by dragging from the Library: it will have a RED border and is completely unlocked.

Repeating if I understand your request well, which more like a flip card than a real rollover (for a real rollover the original image will remain and the extra image appears elsewhere):

Select the custom state in the Object State panel.
In the Properties panel for that image select Edit Image. You see the BLUE border.
Set the Alpha to 0 to make that image invisible
Close that dialog box. Back in the Object state panel, add the image you want to show when the image (button) is clicked. You'll see that it has a blue border and can be put anywhere. It has a RED border:
Exit Object state. Add the command 'Go to Next State' to the image used as button.

I think something is missing in your question.

If this is a NON-interactive object, there should not be a locking of states. Lock only occurs for interactive object states and for InBuilt state for Drag&Drop objects.

Did you activate the option 'Use as button' for this image? That is possible only in version 11.5, but you don't mention which version you are using. Have a look at this blog:

Even for buttons there is a workaround: keep the Normal state empty, and add the Image to that state as an individual object. Beware: this is only possible in a non-responsive project. For a responsive project you need a static fluid box to enable this. Here is a link to another blog where I used this workaround to mimick a rotating button:
