Hello,
I am new to captivate and I need help in writing Advanced action for the below scenario.
Explanation:
a) My project has a scenario, where on the main slide there are 6 buttons with 6 popups on the main slide. And all 6 popups have 6 close buttons (X). Out of the 6 buttons, any 4 buttons should be clicked and the next button should appear.
I use a shared action for all comparable situations with a menu slide.
Summary:
FYI: I have tons of blog posts about Advanced actions. You are probably also new to Shared actions, and may have a look at my crash course:

This blog is followed by two lessons coming in two 'tastes': as step-by-step or as video.

I use a shared action for all comparable situations with a menu slide.
Summary:
The items marked bold and italic are the parameters: variable v_x, slide Chapter1, button Bt_Next. Eventually you can also mark the literal 4 as parameter if you want to use the action in future projects where the number of buttons to be clicked can be different.
If you use the On Enter action to hide the Next button, you could move the third decision to that On Enter action:
IF v_clicks is equal to 4
Show Bt_Next
ELSE
Hide Bt_Next

Whow, that was quick! You're welcome. Both Advanced and Shared actions are great tools, have used them since over a decade.
