Using Multi-State Objects in Captivate – an Example

Here is an example for using States and Advanced Actions to “animate” an object.

TWImage

The setup was quite simple:

1. Import a sequence of bitmaps

2. Create custom states and add the images

StatesView_00

3. Create some navigational elements

4. Create Advanced Actions that change the state of the image object, based on a counter variable

StatesView_02

This great new feature opens up lots of possibilities for interactive elements. Well done Captivate! I will keep experimenting with multi-state objects and use them from now on in new projects.

Very cool! I’m just getting back into Captivate after 4 or 5 years away, and it’s very helpful to see the ways newer features like multi-states can be used.

When I first started using sliders and dials in…the other tool :-), I thought they were just a gimmick. Turns out they do have their uses, especially in the types of more technical training that I develop. Let’s hope CP 2018 provides sliders/dials!
