User chooses items that display on next slide

[jrum]

Has anyone created this or know how too....

I am looking for a way for a user to choose from a list of 10 items and then those items are display on the next slide.  Any ideas?

Which version do you use? What are those 'items' and where do they have to be displayed on the next slide. Please give some more details.

Adobe Captivate 7.  The would be words example; if there were a list of ten animals, dog, cat, bird, etc.  a user would either click or drag them from the left box to the right box and on the next page those chosen items would be displayed.  Any ideas or suggestions would be great!  I really appreciate it!

I asked also 'where do they have to be displayed', in case you wanted them in the same location as on the previous slide. But since you talk about dragging, that seems not to be the case.

You'll have to put all those 'items' on the second slide, and hide them for output (top of the Properties panel if I remember well). Give them a identifying name.

If you use the click approach, create a standard advanced action (I would use a shared action):

  Show Image _x                 where Image_x is the item you want to show on the next slide; for a shared action the image will be a parameter

It is necessary to do this by a standard action because a simple action will release the playhead. See: Why choose Standard over Simple action? - Captivate blog

If you use the drag approach, you'll also need that action that you will apply as Object action for each drag action. Have a look at:
