But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

Quick Tip: Zeros and Ones are Cool – the Toggle

When you create a button, you can assign an action to it called “Toggle”.  Toggle changes the default value of Zero to One.  You can write complex actions or very simple ones to check to see which buttons are set to the value of Zero and which ones are One.  Jump, show / hide or do anything you can think of based on which buttons have which value.  Pretty cool, huh?

Disappearing style controls??

Of course, this is my own fault, I’m sure I accidentally hit some keyboard shortcut or something. However, I am left with the issue that my smart shape style controls have become disabled as shown below. Any ideas why? and more importantly, how to get them back? I, just this morning, installed the most recent captivate update. Might this result in any compatibility issues because the file was last saved under an older version of captivate? Thanks in advance for any […]

Drag and Drop Question

I am working on a drag and drop interaction and having some difficulty.  What I want to do:  I want the drag zone to change states when the correct drag source is dropped and I want another state (including a video remediation clip) to show when the incorrect drag source is dropped.  I’m missing a step somewhere and haven’t been able to figure out what I’ve done wrong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
