4 State Buttons - Disabled and Visited State

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if CP will be offering 4 state buttons as an option in the future. Essentially adding a _disabled or _visited (both would be great) option to image buttons. 3 state buttons are great, but im finding more and more clients asking for 'greyed out' buttons when clicked. Some want disabled and others visited (so they can re-access the button).
I know Storyline has the feature to add a disabled and visited states. And I heard Lectora is adding this feature.
Basically The way I see it is that i can choose an image button and you get an option to select a disabled or visited button (or neither if you want 3 state). Then CP automatically pulls in the _up, _over, _down & _disabled or _visited images.
So back to my question, is this on the horizon?
Or if anyone has a better idea then i suggested, then i would be interested in knowing.
*I am aware you can do this with Advanced actions, but this way would be automated. (less work)

Yes wearable technology is wonderful.  The best enhancement I've heard about in that area (for e-learning) is the 'wearable LMS'.  It's a Wi-Fi enabled device that can detect and capture output from a Captivate module (as long as it's within range of a 802.11ac wi-fi transmitter/receiver).
I'll probably get into trouble for leaking this information but...also on the LMS front, Adobe has finally decided to take on the LMS vendors and introduce an incredible enhancement that looks like making any conventional LMS totally redundant. 
If you've been wondering why Captivate 8 removed so many output options, it's actually been done to make room for the new Standalone LMS enhancement due out for Captivate 9's release next year (possibly Cp 9.5 if the development encounters issues with the implementation).  Once that incredible breakthrough arrives you won't need to worry about SCORM, TinCan, Acrobat.com or any other reporting format.  The Captivate output module ITSELF becomes the LMS. 
It's all achieved with the new Cloud-based synchronization technology that Adobe has been keeping under wraps. Not only will the new Standalone LMS output capture all of the user interactions for your course. it will also aggregate them from other users around the world (as long as the user is online) and spit out nicely formatted reports to your nearest printer.  The formatting is still a bit rough at the moment, and you do need really good bandwidth to pull it off, but the barriers to entry are coming down all the time.
It's certainly an exciting time to be an e-learning developer!

  • My ipod states its disabled and will not function now ...  please help

    ipod states its disabled and will not work or allow me to reset from itunes?  any suggesstions? 

    You are going to have to restore it. Scince itunes does not connect to ur ipod because its disabled you are gonna have to put your ipod in DFU mode. Basicaly u have to hold the power and home button atthe same time for 10 second then release power button and keep holding home button for about 15 seconds ( all this you do it while ipod is connected to the computer) if it works, itunes will detect ur ipod in recovery mode and will give you the option to restore it.

    Select the textfield that is inside the movieclip and in the properties panel you should see a dropdown for selecting the type of textfield.  If you select Dynamic and then assign an instance name to the textfield you can use that instance name in your code to assign the text when the file runs.  If you were to name the textfield "tField", then the code you would use inside an instance of your movieclip named "mClip1" would be...
    mClip1.tField.text = "your text";
    So, if I have multiple buttons, using your example, would the code read
    mClip1.tField.text = "your text";
    mClip1.tField2.text = "your text2";
    mClip1.tField3.text = "your text3";
    mClip1.tField4.text = "your text4";
    And my buttons are built inside movieclips, ie
    Main Timeline > aboutButton_mc > aboutText_mc > "about"
                        > contactsButton_mc > contactsText_mc > "contacts"
    can the code be put at any level, or does it need to reside on the Main Timeline to access all the movie clips' text fields?
    Just in case this may be too complex to get into via this forum, if you know of any good tutorials, that would be awesome too!
    I tried doing a search, but it's so hard to tell if they might be in AS2, or AS3, and if they would apply to newer versions of Adobe Flash (I have CS5)

    On click should open a new page, yes? So it won't matter.

  • My ipod touch states "ipod disabled" and don't know what to do or how to fix it

    ipod touch is stating "ipod disabled" in red on the screen and do not know how to fix it.  Forgot passcode

    If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode, or you do not have the syncing computer. place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore.  For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Also, it is OK to restore from backup since the screen-lock passcode is NOT restored to the iPod.

  • Match EQ Learn buttons disabled and project deadline is today!

    Hi Folks
    I've got a MacBook Pro with FCP 5.1.1.
    I'm trying to use Soundtrack Pro's Match EQ plugin to finish a project but the Learn buttons are both disabled (grayed out).
    I've looked at the documentation and googled for this but can't find any info on it. Anybody have any ideas what's going wrong? I've reinstalled STP but the problem persists.

    Hi Jill,
    I was in the process of learning about the Match EQ plug-in when I saw your post. I was having the same problem until I realized that you must first play the clip within the plug-in interface before the learn buttons are available.
    Hope it works for you,

  • How to programati​cally set front panel objects (buttons) to enable, disabled, and disabled and gray

    I'm writing a program that when I am iterating through a loop, I want to have some buttons disabled and grayed. Once the loop is done, I want those buttons to now be enabled.
    But I have no clue how to programatically do this
    (aka enable and disable while the program is running, NOT before the program starts)
    Any help would be appreciated

    Create a property node, & select the 'Disabled' property.  Set it to 0 for enabled, 1 for disabled, & 2 for disabled & grayed.

  • Visited state on rollover button?

    Hi,
    I am hoping to create a button in flash that has a visited
    state. I know that it is possible to create a button whose image
    changes on the rollover state, but I was hoping to create a button
    that when the page loads the button is one image, when rolled over
    the button is another image and once clicked on it is yet another
    image. Heres an example of why I wish to do this/ what I hope to
    achieve:
    I want to put the button into a dreamweaver site. When
    clicked on the button takes the user to a new page. On this new
    page there is an option to return to the previous page. Upon
    returning to the page I want the button which the user initially
    clicked on to be a different image from what it previously was so
    they know they have already visited that link.
    Thanks in advance for any help/ light that could be shed on
    this matter,
    Beth H

  • Can a button change to another state and remain there, and also go to a URL?

    Hi --
    I've been wracking my brain and scouring the internet since yesterday to find a solution to this...It seems easy enough, but I'm at a loss...maybe I'm over thinking it and it's simply not possible?
    We have a button that we want to, when clicked, change to another state, remain there, and also use a navto to go to another page within the publication...is this possible?
    We've tried doubling up the actions of the button, using fake buttons, etc. all without success. What we have it at now is...you can tap to navto, and the button does change, but it reverts back to it's previous state in that moment between releasing the button and actually jumping to the page we want it to go to.
    The only explanation I've come up with is based on the information on this page: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-8ad81e812b10bfd837-80 00.html -- that because the two actions I want to accomplish fall into the two different categories: Supported actions for hyperlink buttons and Supported actions for slideshow buttons, that this simply isn't possible?
    Your help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kristina

    No, that's not supported with multiple actions. You can't switch a state and then jump to another document.

  • Flash button play over sound in both over and down states?

    I have created a button and set a sound on it for the over
    state. The sound plays correctly when the button enters the over
    state, but it plays again when the button enters the down state.
    Here's what I did as a test:
    In an empty Flash9/ActionScript3 project:
    1. Create a new button symbol
    2. Insert key frames for up/down/over/hit
    3. Draw a rect on each of those keyframes (just for testing
    purposes so you can see it)
    4. Go to over state and set the Sound property to a sound in
    the libray. Set effect:none, sync:event/repeat/1
    5. Verify that the down state still says sound:none
    Now put that symbol in the scene and try it out. For me the
    over sound will play both when you mouse over the button and when
    you click on it. Does this make any sense?

    bump for help.

  • Active and inactive states for a button

    Is there a way to assign a button action only when the playbacket is on:
    i.e. lable "play3"on timeline instead of placing a hotspot over each button with code?
    Basically an active and inactive state.
    button1 exists on entire 30 seconds then only active when playbacket hits and stops on "play1", "play2", "play3" etc..

    Hey there-
    Yes, you can do this with a little bit of code.  Take a look at the "state management" section in this blog post, which will describe how to set variables, get variables, and use an if statement to code some logic in.
