Can we have two textures for the same project ?

Question

Hello all
I use Captivate4. In my project, the background transparency for Playbar controls is 100%. So the texture would be seen as the background for the PlayBar. I have a requirement of hiding PlayBack Controls in few slides. Then I would like to change my texture to some other image. in brief, I would like to show one texture when the PlayBar is visible & another texture when the PlayBar is invisible.
Is that possible?
Thanks & regards,
Kartik.

OK.  This would be a little easier to do in Captivate 5 which has Master Slides and Playbar Overlay. But since you have Captivate 4 you will need to make do with adding graphics to the background of the actual slide, and just turning off the Playbar.
From the graphics you added to your last post, it looks like you already know what you want the background to look like. You want a different background for Slide A and Slide B.  One way to do this is to add the graphic to each slide, then right-click and select Merge with Background.  But you can also just put the image on the lowest layer on the timeline of each slide and the effect would be similar.
Regarding the Playbar...Since you are on Captivate 4, you do not have the option to set Playbar to Overlay.  I've just looked in Captivate 4 but the option is missing.  Here is what the Skin Editor looks like in Captivate 4 and 5.  Notice the Playbar Overlay setting is missing in Cp4.  There may be another way to do this but I don't know.
This playbar overlay option would have allowed you to set the position of the playbar as sitting over the bottom 30 pixels or so of the stage area.  Since you can't do this, you may need to be satisfied with seeing the area occupied by the playbar go blank when it is hidden.
To hide your playbar on Slide B, you will need to add an Advanced Action on Slide Enter that turns off the playbar by assigning the variable cpCmndShowPlaybar to 0.  Here is what that looks like in the Slide Properties dialog for your Slide B.
