Hello Captivaters !…

Today I want to share my last production… It’s about counting the money !…

!…

I spent a lot of time doing these, as there are many advanced actions associated with Drag and Drop.

I made 2 projects : one with whole numbers and one with decimal numbers.

– With whole numbers :

Play

– With decimal numbers :

Play

Once again, these projects are in french, so I use the euros to do them.

– For the whole numbers, I created 2 variables to count the total : 1 for the euros, and one for the cents.

For the fun, I even created a multi-states text to mark the plural if needed !…

– For the decimal numbers, I first had problems, trying to use the “,” instead of the “.” to mark the decimal. And as you can imagine, Captivate doesn’t like the “,” in the numbers !!!…

So once again I have to use Javascript to make it works properly. I just used numbers with “.” and transform them into french ones :

var number = v_Total_01.toLocaleString(“fr-FR”);

where number is the variable showed on the slides and v_Total_01 is the variable used to calculate the sum.

(Thanks Lieve Weymeis  to advise me this on the Captivate Forum)

The rest was easy, but don’t hesitate to ask if you need to clear something !…

I use once again Paul Wilson Video to inspire me !…
