Project Progress bar Captivate 2017

Good call but same results. Went back and checked my typing of JS - exactly as posted.  Published both to browser and to HTML5 in Browser options with no change. Maybe I'm not destined for Java..... Are there any conditions on the "bar" graphic? Why on the JS is it called barc and not just bar?  Maybe 1-2 more suggestions before we give up?  You've put in so much already I'd hate to waste your efforts.

I have written a JavaScript that will do what you want.

First you need to create a variable called: totalWidth

Set it's value to the width you want it to be when all slides have been viewed, i.e. the width of the Marine graphic: 500

Put a Smartshape under the Marine graphic and set the outline to 0 and the width to 4px. Name the Smartshape "bar"

On enter of each slide either execute the following JS or put the JS in an Advanced Action and execute that.

var interval = setInterval( checkExists, 100, false );

function checkExists()
{
if ( document.getElementById( 'barc' ) )
{
  var shape = document.getElementById( 'barc');
  var w=Math.round(window.totalWidth/(window.cpInfoSlideCount/window.cpInfoCurrentSlide));
  shape.style.width=w+"px";
  clearInterval( interval );
  interval = null;
}
}

Again, great comments. Trying to piece things together so bear with me.  Here is a pic of a few of my states as described before: Notice the progressive fill from left to right.

Here are a few slide images involving the states: In this first one (skipped bar on title slide), note name given to object.

In this next slide, note a change in the object label assigned by Captivate - this proves to be a point of confusion later when doing advanced actions. (Slide 4 assigns it Marines...._102, etc.)

The following are different grabs of the actions - I think you can figure out what I'm trying to do (after all, it was your idea!):

Here these non-conditional calcs are to determine the slide location as a function of relative slide number. Note the 2nd expression, used to turn value into an integer for later use.

Here is the 1st conditional. This should just keep the 0% state (Marines_indicator_bar) in place. Am confused about the Normal label. Only other choices are 5%, 10%. .... which are not relevant here.

And the 2nd conditional.  The next 2 images are from the same action (bad cutting). Notice when determining what state to change, there are references to all labels for the 0% state images placed on the slides. This is VERY confusing.

This image represents the same action but with the choices I used.

And lastly, one more example of this. Am I supposed to be using the THEN field for anything? Don't see what I could be doing but...

So, when I run, out of 22 slides, a few of the slides SHOULD change states yet they all show the 0% state. Interestingly enough, when I remove actions and have the slides, when clicking the nav button, on Enter Change State to - when I do this, and assign a state, they do change to the proper state. So the states per se seem to be fine.

If I can't get the actions to calculate properly, I'll just hand calculate all % values ahead and manually select the proper state. it would be quite a waste of the program's utility, and I'd prefer to figure this out, but I do have a Plan B (fingers crossed).  Thanks ever so much for your teachings...I'm a very appreciative pupil.  I thought this post would generate more interest....

To whom is your request addressed, please? Which version are you using?
