Closed Captioning to a visited State?
Hello,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to add Closed Captioning to a visited state?
I presume you are talking about an interactive object, where Visited is the fourth InBuilt state which can be added.
You can add audio to that state, and a text container (shape or caption) with the CC. When the object has been clicked the Visited state will appear with the text container and the audio will play.
The default workflow for CC is only possible when you use slide audio. Reason: the synchronization happens linked with the main slide timeline. For object audio (and audio added to a state is sort of object audio) you cannot synchronize with that slide timeline since you are not aware of when the object will be clicked.
This is different from a Visited state.
I rarely create videos. Reason: if I needed videos for all what I explained in my blogs, besides the multiple included example projects, that would mean thousands of videos, and I don’t have enough free time for that.
All depends on the setup of your ‘hotspot_popups’ because there are multiple workflows possible. If you use multistate objects, you could have a state with and one without the text container. When CC is turned on, which is possible by checking the system variable cpCmndCC, you show another state than when it is turned off. Since you probably have multiple types of them, I strongly recommend a shared action instead of multiple advanced actions.
States can simplify a lot. The drawbacks are: no effects on states, no interactive objects in states. But in most use case there are many advantages over the hide/show workflow. Quite a while ago i published two comparisons for the workflows, one for a non-responsive and one for a responsive project. This is the link to the first:
