Spry Menu with rollover slidelets
Hi,
I hope I can describe my problem so it's understandable - I'm not a native speaker of English. I am using Captivate 7.
I have a project with ca. 20 slides and would like to make a spry menu. The menu should in the end look more or less like this one (just bigger, of course): http://blog.entheosweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/spry_menus_fimg.jpg (just so you have an idea).
On one slide, I managed to create a menu the way I want it to be, and it works perfectly. I followed this tutorial: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2011/09/creating-spry-menus-in-adobe-captivate-5-5-courses.html
So basically, I put roll-over slidelets on the button with the topic's name. They work with Advanced Actions, so that when I hover over the topic, the sub-topics appear and I can click on them to directly reach the right slides. Underneath everything, there's a big roll-over slidelet that makes everything disappear again (also using advanced actions).
I want to have this menu on every slide - I want the user to be able to jump from any slide directly to any other slide using this spry menu. The problem is: I can't just copy the menu because then the names of the buttons change and the Advanced Actions (set to work only with the "old" names) don't work anymore! This means, to make it work, I'd have to re-name all buttons on every single slide and then set new Advanced Actions for each slide to make them work. I can't put roll-over slidelets on Masterslides.
I think there must be an easier way to do this... But I don't get it. What am I doing wrong? Am I forgetting something? Does anyone have a good idea to solve this?
Looking forward to your responses ![]()
