When designing a course screen, we sometimes come across a situation where we have some content which is related to the screen, but there’s no space on the screen to place it. This content is important and is in context with the current screen but is not worthy enough to take up the entire next screen. In such scenarios, screen with a pop-up comes to rescue!

Take a look at this screen…

Let’s see how we can create such a screen with Adobe Captivate 5.5.

Looking for other types of interactive screens? Here are some demonstrations on how to create a screen with rollover audio, click-reveal text, click-display animation, tabs, and a timeline.

Happy captivating! 🙂

Hello

I am new to Captivate and I was wondering how did you create that popup tip box? Did you use an outside program and import it in?

Hi Justin, I used graphics from http://www.fotolia.com to create it and then inserted it as an image in Captivate.

We should rebuild rollover slideletes to be revealed on click, instead of rollover. Clickable Slidelets would make this whole process insanely easier.
