Zoom and pan an image

[RObert5F8E]

Hi I got a question from a customer who need to be able to zoom in on an still image by draging a zoom bar or clicking a button.. While it is zoomed he also need to be able to pan around the image.

Is this possible to do in captivate without alot of javascript?

Captivate Classic has a Zoom Learning Interaction. Did you check it out?

There is also the possibility to use a custom Scale effect, which can be applied using an advanced action triggered by a button.

zoom learning interaction. Hm thats new. I can zoom in and out using the scale to effecet and add it to a button using action script. The hard part is how to let the user pan the image using the mouse or buttons

That interaction is packaged with Captivate Classic since many versions.

Panning is indeed a functionality where you'll need some JS programming skills.

I manage to use the drag n drop functionality inside captivate to be able to position the image around the screen. But that do not work with the zoom action script.

This widget do not work. Cant import any images into it. But it seems pretty cool. If it would work 🙂

Which type of images did you use (format)? And which version of Captivate? I still have both 11.5.5 and 11.8.2 (on another system along version 12) and will double-check. Last time I used the Image Zoom interaction on 11.5.5 it worked fine, but didn't test yet on 11.8.2 which seems to have more bugs.
