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!

Same initial thoughts here myself. But how they function and how you can skin them makes them very useful for certain situations, such as technical like you said. When does Captivate usually release their new versions?
