All new adobe captivate (Out of 4 icon clicks, any 3 b needs to be clicked to activate next button)

[Sandyy A.Leo]

Good Evening, 

This doubt is about ALL NEW ADOBE CAPTIVATE. I am practising the new captivate and not able to solve the below problem. 

There is a scenario in which there are 4 icon clicks. When the 1st icon is clicked it will jump to the 2nd slide and when the 2 slide is complete the next button should be enabled, after clicking the next button on the 2nd slide it should go back to the 1st slide where the 4 icons are present. So this interaction will work for all 4 icons. In this case, any 3 icons can be clicked out of 4 icons so that it activates the next button.

How to write a trigger for such kinds of interactions. 

Thank you,

This would be a breeze in Classic Captivate.

However there are some question left, because I suspect the logic of the workflow for the interactions will be the same:

• What needs to happen when the same icon is clicked multiple times? Is it allowed?
• What needs to happen when the the 4th icon is clicked?

Yes, Mam, it's a breeze in Captivate Classic. Tried using the same logic as Adobe Captivate Classic in the new captivate, but was not able to solve it.

1) Multiple click are allowed for any buttons. But only when the 3 buttons are clicked the next button will appear. 

2) When button 1 is clicked it will go to the chapter 1 and by clicking the next button on chapter 1 slide it will again come back to main slide where all 4 buttons are present. This is case with other buttons also. 

3) When button 2 is clicked it will go to chapter 2 and then go back to the main slide by clicking the next button on chapter 2 slide. 

4) When button 3 is clicked it will go to chapter 3 same with button 4.

Hope I didn't confuse you Mam.

No confusion, I understand what you want exactly. Only where the Next button on the first (dashboard) slide is pointing to is not clear.

Indeed you should follow the same logic as in Captivate Classic. Use the On Enter event of the first slide to trigger a conditional check, based on values of user variables. I would prefer to have not only one variable for each of the four buttons, but a counter variable as well. The actions for the buttons should increment the user variable for the button, but also increment the value of the counter only for the first click. The On Enter event in that case is limited to checking the counter value, when it is 3 or greater you show the Next button.

Of course it is a lot more difficult to show this workflow because the Advanced/Shared actions don't exist anymore. The Interactions are less easy to read. I already broke my oath not to provide solutions for the new version by giving you this advice. The team had promised to have staff members answering questions, where I had promised to continue supporting the Classic version. FYI version 12 crashes for me all the time, probably because of my non-US keyboard.

The next button on the main slide will jump to the final slide. It was just for reference.

No problem Mam. Learned a lot about adobe captivate from you.

Thank you for the support, Mam!
