Hello,

Are we able to have an object or image in Captivate that users must click first before viewing the rest of the slide?  For example, all the other content is greyed out until the user first clicks the colored item on the screen.  Once the colored item on the screen is clicked, the greyed out items are then viewable (colored).  Is this possible in Captivate?

Thank you for the help and guidance.

Chandra

Do you really mean viewable, or with a grey state, because this is conflicting for me.

  • Viewable: turn the colored object (shape or image) into a button. Set its pausing point just before the timeline of the other objects. To the Success event of the colored object button assign the command ‘Continue’.
  • Change color state: have two states for each of the objects to be turned from grey into colored. You can choose what you want for the Normal state: grey or custom state. Use the colored object button to trigger an Advanced action where you use the Change State command as many times as you have objects. You cannot change the state for a group.

Lieve,

Thank you for talking me through this concept.  I’m not sure why I was getting stuck but your guidance helped me to have an ah-ha moment that I can use objects (have them a color) and advanced actions to draw the user’s attention to a particular place on the slide.  Once they click the advance action can have the grey box/object disappear or move to the second item I would like to show.

This was very useful!
