Executing advanced action using Javascript in Animate CC

[Josh70138843]

I'm trying to execute an advanced action in Captivate when a button created in Animate CC is click.

I've been following this tutorial: How to Trigger Captivate Advanced Actions with Javascript | eLearning

I've created a clickbox called "Menu_btn" which on click executes an advanced action.

My code in Animate CC is:

this.menu_mc.addEventListener("click", fl_MouseClickHandler.bind(this));

function fl_MouseClickHandler()

{

    this.menu_mc.gotoAndPlay('click');

    window.parent.cp.clickHandler(Menu_btn);

}

The "window.parent.cp.clickHandler(Menu_btn);" should execute the advanced action as if the "Menu_btn" clickbox was clicked, but nothing happens.  If I create another button in captivate with the execute JavaScript code "cp.clickHandler(Menu_btn);" it works fine, so I'm not sure why it isn't working in Animate CC. I've replaced the "window.parent.cp.clickHandler(Menu_btn);" with "window.parent.cp.hide("SmartShape_666");" just to check the function was firing and that worked fine.

Has anyone had any look getting the cp.clickHandler() function to work outside of Captivate?

I've also tried "window.cp.runJavascript(cp.model.data.Menu_btn.oca);" and "window.parent.window.cp.runJavascript(cp.model.data.Menu_btn.oca);" but still no luck.

Hi Josh I am trying to get this to work also, Javascript in captivate the suggestion I had was not successful, I have tried the following

var box = $('#restart_loop')[0]; cp.clickHandler(box); inside captivate on page load or another button and this fires perfectly. but i too wanted to do this same function from animate cc on an .oam button

I have tried the following lines

this.Reset.addEventListener("mousedown", fl_MouseClickHandler.bind(this));

     function fl_MouseClickHandler()

     {

     var box = $(window.parent().'#restart_loop')[0];

     window.parent.cpAPIInterface(box)

      }

or

this.Reset.addEventListener("mousedown", fl_MouseClickHandler.bind(this));

     function fl_MouseClickHandler()

     {

window.parent.cp.clickHandler("restart_loop");

}

or

this.Reset.addEventListener("mousedown", fl_MouseClickHandler.bind(this));

     function fl_MouseClickHandler()

     {

window.parent.cp.clickHandler(box("restart_loop"));

}

None have worked

have you had any success?

I had this same issue when using "clickHandler", trying to trigger a button click in Captivate from a separate Captivate window. "window.opener.cp.HIde(my_button)" works but not "window.opener.cp.clickHandler(my_button)", comes back as undefined.

So I tried "window.opener.cp.clickHandler(window.opener.my_button)" and that worked.
