Click All Links Before Next Button Appears in Adobe Captivate 2019

[@CaptivateTeacher]

I'm always happy to point you in the right direction regarding questions about Adobe Captivate. If you need more than a simple question answered, you can purchase a one-hour one-on-one session with me at bit.ly/Cp1on1 . If you only use some of that time, that's okay. You can bank any unused time (15-minute increments) for future sessions. For example, if you use 30 minutes, you can use 30 minutes later.

how can you make this with an image? like unless all images are clicked it won't show the next button?

[@lightyears-xo8qb]

how do you make an image become a variable?

[@CaptivateTeacher]

@@lightyears-xo8qb You don't make an image a variable. You create variables to keep track if your images have been clicked and you make the image a button by selecting Use as button in the PI. If you need more help than the answers I can give in the comments, consider purchasing some one on one time from my website and I can take you through it: bit.ly/Cp1on1

Here is a question: I have a slide with 5 steps. My employer wants to hide each step until the previous step is completed. Each step is a button linked to a multistate object And the next button is hidden until all steps are viewed. So….. open slide, step one appears, shows the multistate object, then step 2 appears beneath step 1, and so on until all are viewed snd Then the Next button is visible. I created the multistate object and buttons- they work fine. I hid next button until all 5 steps:buttons clicked. HOWEVER….I cannot figure out how to make each step appear sequentially. Thanks so much for any help you can provide because I have spent hours researching and cannot find a tutorial.

You could set buttons 2 through 5 to be not visible in the output. In your advanced action for button 1, include show button 2. Repeat this for each advanced action so that it forces the learner to press them in order.

I followed all the instructions. However, if I choose NOT to click the link, the project continues to play to the next screen/slide (without the Next button appearing)... What have I missed?

[@CaptivateTeacher]

You might need to add something that pauses the slide. You can do this a number of ways. You can add an on exit action of pause, or you could add a click box or transparent button.

@@CaptivateTeacher - Yep! After a lot of thinking and trial and error (sooooo many errors), I added another button to pause the project. Then I slapped myself at how easy that was! D'oh! And thanks for the great video tutorial! So much better than the dominant contributor on the Adobe forums!
