Toggle Multiple Highlight Boxes Works in Preview NOT in Browser

[kenwulf]

I'm attempting to implement a "toggle" advanced action on a single slide that toggles 18 highlight box objects on/ off when clicked. The highlight boxes are arranged in a grid of 3 rows of and 6 columns.

I have defined a set of 18 user variables v_visib_01 - v_visib_18 (one for each highlight box/ not visible by default) that are used by the 18 advanced actions to do the toggle.

I am using Captivate 5.5. Browser is IE 8. Flash Player is 11.4.402.287. OS is Windows 7. The project spans 27 slides including a quiz of 8 slides.

The issue I'm seeing is, although in preview mode it works fine, when I run in a browser, instead of the toggle on/ off highlight box behavior, I'm branched to the first slide in the project on a click. I cannot figure out why?

Screen caps from both the variables and advanced actions below. NOTE: Approach used based on work described previously by Lieve Weymeis in other thread in this forum and elsewhere. Appreciate any help. Thank you!

There you are! Welcome!

It is your second expression that is not correct: 'Expression rdcmndGotoFrame = rdinfoCurrentSlide - 1' If you want to rewind the playhead, the second variable should also be pointing to a frame, not to a slide (rdInfoCurrentFrame). So you are always directing to another slide here.

I don't even think you need that expression, but should have to check in CP5.5. Normally an advanced action doesn't release the play head. Try without that statement, if it is not working add the statement:

Expression rdcmndGotoFrame = rdinfoCurrentFrame - 1

@VJ I do not understand your answer at all, what has that to do with this bug in an advanced action??? Please?

Thanks Lieve-

Removing the 2nd expression solves the issue as you suspected. Thank you for the swift response!

You are the best!
