Need assistance with Advanced Actions

  • June 8, 2018

Hello -

I have created Advanced Actions that involve clicking a Smart Shape Button and having a Smart Shape appear with more information about the text in the button. There are 7 Smart Shape Buttons that click and show 7  Smart Shapes with information. This is all working fine.

However, I would like the learner to be able to go back and click on a previous Button and have the correct text show up. But I can only seem to click each button once.

I have played with states and a variety of Advance Actions. Does anyone have some suggestions?

Thanks,

Kris Beisel

    Which version do you use?

    Can you post a screenshot of the Timeline and of the advancec actions (would have used a shared action myself)?

    Are all sonw texts remaining on the screen?  If not, why not use one multistate object, with text for each of the buttons and use the command Change State? It has the big advantage that you don't have to hide other text before shwoing new text.

    I am relatively new to using Captivate, I took a basic training and then have worked to figure the rest out on my own. I am using Captivate 2017. I work for an educational nonprofit, Destination Imagination, and I work to train our volunteers to provide our educational experience to students around the world.

    I am going to try your suggestion of using a multi-state object and the Change State command. That is not an option I had considered. I will let you know if I am successful!

    Thank you!

    Please, could you post a screenshot of the Timeline? Lot of problems are due to not understanding that Timeline. Have a look at:
