Captivate 2017 error with 4 shape buttons with Adv Action

New Here ,
Feb 04, 2018 Feb 04, 2018

I have 4 buttons on the first page of a project that is displayed for "Rest of Project".  1 button is set to Continue, 1 button is a link to another slide, 2 of the buttons are advanced action scripts (Exit and Toggle).

Captivate preview is either (1) not showing the 4 buttons on the project during preview or (2) throwing a very loud obnoxious error with a flashing screen on preview.

If I set one of them to Rest of slide instead, it works.

Are there any known issues with Captivate 2017 and multiple shape button set to Rest of Project?

Thank you.

Is this a non-responsive or a responsive project?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. This project is Non-responsive with no fluid boxes. I tried adding one of the buttons to the master slide too. That didn't work. It still shows a loud preview error with a fast blinking screen. I have Captivate 2017 version 10.0.0.192. Is that the latest version?

There is a bug with too many shape buttons on the master slide (hotfix available but you have to ask for it).

How did you preview? If you want HTML5 output, you have to know that for a non-responsive project (can never have fluid boxes, that is only for responsive projects) the only real HTML preview is F11, Preview HTML in Browser. Did you test with that preview?

It only works on browser preview with HTML5. The swf and pdf throw that blinking error.

Do you need SWF output? PDF is also SWF-based. Many browsers already don't have the Flash player activated by default.

I understand that it is going to be published for LMS using SCORM 1.2.

Both SWF and HTMLK5 output can be published to a SCO, please ask which type of output.

With Captivate, is there is no way to add an action script to generate a 2nd hover state? If there was a way to do that I think my issue would be solved. I added another button b/c I couldn't find a way to generate a 2nd hover state for a button. For example, one button toggles a small menu. The button in it's normal state says "Menu". When the menu button is clicked it reveals the menu and the button now says "Close". But if I hover over the button is says "Menu". I added a 2nd rollover state to the button but I cannot call it from the advanced action script.

ActionScript is for Flash output. You mean JavaScript?

Rollover is an InBuilt state, which is only triggered by hovering over the button. If I have a toggle button, I avoid putting a label on the Rollover and Down states, because they'll be the same if the Normal state is replaced by a custom state to indicate the toggled status.

Well, I tested this out a new clean project and it worked. So now I know there is a conflict with something on the original project and the 4 buttons on the first page that are set to display for the rest of the project.

Thank you Lilybiri for your prompt responses.
