Captivate and JavaScrip
February 7, 2008 12:00 AM
Hello Michele.Glad we seem to be making some progress.Regarding the question on running the swf as an animation, my last suggestion will work when you make the sim run in a Popup Window. You would have created say a button, then On Click, Action: Go To; Target: Web Address; Web Address: SimName.swf or SimName.htm, and then Check the box to "Open in New Window".Then when the sim is completed the window would close and the course which was behind the sim is now available for the learner to continue. Regarding your Homestead account, yes that would be a web server. As long as you can upload your files to that you can test it there.Regarding your quote, 4. On last page of Sim I made a button called EXIT SIMULATION. Then because there is no option to tell the screen to pause until learner clicks button (that I have noticed anyway) I overlay this button with a clickbox, you are talking about Captivate I believe? If so, you must remember that every button has the option to "Appear after some defined seconds" as well as "Pause after some defined seconds". When you check the "Pause after" option in the button properties you can specify say, 1.5 seconds after the page is displayed to pause the slide. So you don't have to create a clickbox to do that. Another missed option is "Show hand mouse cursor when over button". You can check that also.See if that will work. Otherwise I would try and send an example of a sim with what I mean.Let me know.Edited By: bruman on 2008-2-8 10:55:58
