Question

Using Advanced Actions to Make a button appear only after three other click boxes have been clicked.

I'm working on an interactive brief, and I'm making slides where the user has to click the correct items and then a "Contine" or "Next" button appears so they can move to the next slide.  Any help out there?  I have been using Captivete but I do not have a lot of experience withthe Advanced Actions.  I'm sure this is a pretty simple solution for all you captivate Wizards out there.

I'm using Captivate 5.5.

Thanks for any help!

Create variables and advanced actions to hide buttons until another button has been selected (only works when destination is another slide)

  1. Name your click boxes
  2. Project
  3. Variables
  4. Add new
  5. Name variable
  6. Create a value of 0
  7. Save
  8. Navigate to the slide that the click box links off to
  9. Under action, on enter select assign
  10. Select the name of your variable
  11. And add one on the with box
  12. Project
  13. Advanced action
  14. Conditional actions
  15. Name action
  16. In first section under ‘perform action if all conditions are true’, double click
  17. Select variable
  18. Select your variable
  19. Select Is equal to
  20. Select literal
  21. Add one
  22. Under actions
  23. Select show
  24. Select your named button
  25. Now create the action you want the button to do when selected
  26. Selection the action – for example go to next slide
  27. Save

Hope this helps

Hi there

What you will need to do is create variables to track whether the items have been clicked. Then create Advanced actions that set the variables as each item is clicked and perform a check of the variables and if the criteria has been met, reveal your button. Then assign the Advanced actions to the items the user will click.

Rick, thanks.  Much appreciated.


Is there a glossary on line for the variables?  Or at least some good tutorials?  I've been having some trouble finding some.  I figured I needed to set variables for the click boxes to be TRUE if clicked and that the button would need the action of the button to be that all click box values are TRUE and then it shows up.  I'm just having troble getting started.  Any known reference material would be helpful.
