This interaction is one element from a complex software simulation, developed in Captivate. The software is used for planning flight patterns for drones. In this example, learners can select one specific waypoint and then zoom in/out on a map.
The map element was created with custom states.
The +/- buttons execute conditional actions that change the state of the image object, change the state of the zoom indicator and enable/disable the zoom buttons.
Note: In this example, only one waypoint (#1) is enabled. In the full simulation, learners can select from several waypoints and also “play back” a flight pattern.
Enjoyed the example.
Why don’t you post a link to a working portion of it
Awesome example! I love seeing how other developers take Captivate to its outer limits. Thanks for sharing.
I see. Captivate offers kind of simplicity (though it isn’t THAT simple) at the expense of complexity. Still, I appreciate the looks of your project. It is really impressive. I also noticed the zooming script. I also invented this kind of action but I can see yours is more complex.
I meant pure programming languages, say java (not javascript).
Of course you could use something like Java, or C to develop a similar simulation. It all depends on how realistic the sim should be, how much time you can spend on development, etc.
Wow ! I didn’t expect such simulations to be produced in Captivate. Impressive. But aren’t there more suitable tools ( I’m not trying to be picky. Just wondering… )
Which tools are you thinking of? My requirement was to build this as part of a Captivate-based tutorial. I had built something similar in Articulate Storyline.
