How do I create a toggle (hide/show) button in Captivate 5?

What is the best method to create a button that will hide / show a particular caption? I looked into using an advanced action, but have not been successful in indicating the correct variable / control statement to make it work.
Anyone have a button with this purpose developed already? I would love to be able to copy/paste it into into my piece and just change the names to make it work?
(How lovely that would be!!!:)
Thanks in advance!

Hello Lilybiri,
Thank you for responding and yes, I believe this is exactly what I'm trying to accomplish!
Since it is the first time I’ve ever had to use the Advanced Actions in Captivate before, I’m having an issue re-creating the screen shots you sent me verbatim. Here is how far I was able to get before I noticed that the v_visib “if” statement is not “selectable” in the “else” piece of the statement.
Do I need to “save” the “if expression” before I’m able to select it as a variable in the “else section”?
Thank you for all of you assistance, it is MUCH appreciated!
Sincerely,
Kate (cgoebelx)

  • Adobe Captivate 8 create a toggle between show/hide image

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how I can create a action with a button that toggles between shows or hides a image.
    Thanks in advanced for helping.

    BTW since you are on CP8, don't use an advanced but a shared action. The only parameter will be the image. You can then use that action over and over again, even in other projects. For another project: open the Library of this older project in the new project, drag the Shared action to the library of the new project. The variable v_visib will be automatically created, and when using that shared action, you'll just have to define the parameter (image), or you can even replace the image by another object or by a group.
    You can feel that I like shared actions, not everyone agrees with me however.

  • External topics using Hide/Show button

    I need to be able to add a Hide/Show button for external topics - i.e. topics that are not part of the RH project, but rather linked to from the TOC using http://
    Thanks in advance

    Hi there
    I'm unclear on what you are wanting. Do you mean that you have perhaps a link to Google, and somehow you need to cause a Hide / Show button to appear on the Google page?
    I'm not sure that's even possible.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do we create custom flags to show/hide navigation menus?

    Hi,
    I need to set a custom flag which allows me to hide/show navigation menus to users. These flags are declared in dynamicdata MenuItemFlagDefinitions and are used in dynamicdata CoreMenuItemsFlags, but I do not know were they are defined.. For instance, were are the flags isTopMenusOnly and isTraysOnly defined? I have tried to define a custom flag in dynamichtml std_js_bootstrap_vars_script and std_personalized_js_bootstrap_vars, but it doesn't work.. I've tried to define a custom flag as a configuration variable in a .cfg file but it doesn't work either..

  • Hide show button and textual area via Javascript or jQuery

    Hi folks am Apex newbie using 4.0.1 on Vista laptop running OracleXE (for dev purposes)
    A quick desc of what items are on the page of my Helpdesk appkication and what I want to achieve ..
    I have a Progress region defined on the page - with textual areas and some region buttons.
    Details are have 2 textual areas in my region - 1st textual area shows current progress (this is read only).
    Second textual region is where IT person will type latest progress on Helpdesk prob (ticket).
    There is a region button Save Progress Text which when pressed will append text from textual area 2 into textual area 1 and
    also appends text e.g date / time / userid etc of progress text added.
    This all works fine.
    Have added a new region button - call it Enter Progress Text - which I would like when pressed will make textual area 2 and the Save Progress Text buttons visible.
    I can hide and show the textual area 2 via $X_show / hide but cannot for life of me hide the Save Progress Text button.
    I also tried to make a subregion holding textual area 2 and the Svae Progress Text button but again via Javascript / jQuery could not hide the subregion.
    Can someone please tell me the syntax of how to hide via Javascript / jquery as can't find anything much at all in the Apex online documentation.
    Many, many thanks as always.
    P.S Don't want to use dynamic actions or hide / show region as want there to be buttons on screen to make things explicit for user hence my desire to use Javascript.

    Hi,
    If its a page item then you can use below script to hide it.
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $x_HideItemRow('Put your item name');
    </script>*Put this code in page footer..                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • How do I create more than one navigation button in Adobe Fireworks CS6?

    Hi guys, 
    Apologies if this comes across as very stupid question. I am a complete beginner with Adobe Fireworks and I'm in the process of creating my first website and I have got to the stage where I want to create navigation buttons and the book I have recommends using Adobe Fireworks so I have downloaded. My problem I have encountered is after I have created my first two state button what is the next step to create another two state button which has the identical size and colour of the previous two state button?
    Here is a brief rundown of the steps I have done to do the first two state button:
    1) Edit-Insert-New Button
    2) Chose the rectangle and then specified the width and height of the button and chose my stroke and fill colour
    3) Centred the button and used the text tool to put the button as a 'Home' button for my website. I then went on Window and Align in order to centre the text on the button
    4) I went on Select-Select All and then went on Windows-States to open the states panel. I right clicked on state 1 which is Up and clicked on copy to states. I then selected the next state radio button and clicked OK.
    5) I selected State 2 and slightly modified it by changing the colour of the text.
    6) I then clicked the back button to return to the main window.
    After this what step should I take to create my another button which has the same size, colour and text style as I have created for the first button? I tried just repeating these steps again but when I do step 1 it creates a new fireworks document which means I have to create the buttons size, colour, text style from scratch.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated guys and once again I do apologise if this comes across as a silly question.
    PS Please could you let me know if the steps I have taken to create the 1st two state button are correct

    Initially you need to configure via the provider's own web based control panel multiple e-mail accounts. If they don't have one, work it out with their customer support to have three distinct mail accounts. Then you can setup multiple logins by adding new accounts to mail. Since mail checks all accounts per Mac OS X user account simultaneously, it probably is best to use different usernames on the same internet provider. If you don't want mail to show all the information from all three mail accounts simultaneously, configure Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts to have multiple users on your computer, and configure each of the internet service provider accounts for each separaet user on Mac OS X.

  • How can I create clearer, sharper images and buttons in Muse?

    How can I create buttons and images that have a vector like clarity? When I upload images (buttons, jpegs and pngs) a lot of the time they seem to have a slightly fuzzy quality to them. I have read previous posts on this matter and none have helped. Any feedback on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    When you place your images in exactly the size you saved them in Photoshop or whatever, Muse doesn’t touch it.
    The quality in this case is the quality you saved the image.
    The best way is, to examine in Muse the available pixel size of the image and then use Photoshop to obtain this size
    A helpful widget to examine the potential size of an image in advance, is the "lore ipsum"-Muse-widget, that you find in the free widget collection "Andrew’s Prototypes":

  • How do I create image pushing slide show in Flash?

    Hi. I am wondering if anybody can tell me how to create a picture PUSH. I have three images that I wish to work with. By pushing I mean having an image come in from the left (or right) and place itself on top of the other (or pushing the other out of view). Like a slide show of three images scrolling along but one stops for a brief period before the other image comes into view.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

    As Pat mentioned, this question might be best suited for the Flash Professional forum, I just happen to have the link handy
    Thanks,

  • How do you create a PDF that shows up on the opening of an e-mail

    I use to be abel to create a PDF that I could drag onto the desktop of an email and it would show up as part of the e-mail when opened as well as an attatchement. Is there an actual procedure for creating one or is it random?  Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't?

    There is no procedure. Whether it shows up or not is purely dependent on the receivers email application and their preferences.
    As always, I suggest if you want to do something like that, you should create an HTML email. There's a bit more control although it isn't foolproof either.

  • How can I create a form with a button that adds a new page of fields to fill out?

    Hi,
    I have a one-page form created in Acrobat Pro 9 that contains five fields for a user to complete. I'd like to give the user the option of adding a page with the same five fields to fill out. The user finishes those fields, presses an "Add a Page" button, and then gets another page to fill out, and so on. When finished, their PDF form might be 10 pages long, at which point the user can save it as a single PDF file. Is this possible to do in Acrobat Pro 9 or 10, and if so, how?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    When I created a new template like you told me, I wasn't given the option to rename the fields. See screenshot below. I'm just given the option to add a new template. Changing it refers to changing the template to a different page.
    If you can show me how to have the fields renamed automatically or use the rename parameter, I think that should fix it.
    Under Tools>JavaScript>Document JavaScripts, I've added a Script named "PackagingArtwork".
    // Here is the code
    function PackagingArtwork()
    {this.createTemplate({cName: "PackagingArtwork", nPage: 5});
    // Here the code that spawns the template
    var PackagingArtworkArray = this.templates;
              var PackagingArtwork = PackagingArtworkArray[0];
              PackagingArtwork.spawn(this.numPages, false, false);

  • How can I create a group of 5x3 buttons with a drop down meny that will slide down the 5 boxes beneath in Muse?

    I am making a porfoliosite in Muse, and want to show 5 x 3 thumbnails of my work that you can click on to see more of the same work. When you click I want a drop down box that will slide down the boxes beneath. Like on this page: http://rajoon.com/. Anyone that know how?

    Have you considered using CSS styled text/list menus instead of image rollovers.  It isn't hard really and it's actually a much better choice for   web accessibility and for search engines to find and follow your links.   Here are some links to several CSS menu systems you can try:

    Is there an API for this?
    I've seen a lot of Android apps have this feature, so it seems like an API built into Android but do we get access to this feature too?

    I think I have been interpreting the instructions incorrectly. I was going into iCloud Mail, NOT the Mail app. I didn't realize they were connected, and that iCloud mail messages could be saved to the regular Mail app, which I already know how to use.
    Thanks for the response. I think I've got it now.

  • How is a JQuery Vertical Accordian Different Than A Hide-Show Region

    Hello Everyone.
    I an using Apex 4.0.1. I recently learned how to create a JQuery vertical accordian. I'm using the sample accordian that Patrick Wolf recently created/posted. It uses a really nice "accordian template" that he put together. It's really quite useful when it comes to saving space and all on a page.
    Then I began wondering: How is this accordian different than Apex's own builtin Hide-Show Region template?
    And so, I created a sample page on my workspace in apex.oracle.com. I placed a JQuery vertical accordian that consists of 3 regions: 2 reports and a chart. I added a little bit of JQuery to Patrick's template that causes all 3 accordian slices to be closed as opposed to the default behavior of having one slice always open. I also added code that allows a user to re-size the entire accordian either vertically and/or horizontally.
    I then created 3 additional regions that mimic the first 3 regions above. These I placed in "column 2" on the page. For each region I assigned the "Hide-Show" template.
    As far as I can tell, both the accordian and the Hide-Show regions provide the same functionality.
    For the interested, here is a link to my page:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=49919
    The app has open authentication assigned, and so, no login credentials are needed. Please click the "Accordian" tab.
    I realize that the accordian has more flexibilty in that one may add features like choosing to collapse/not collapse all slices and re-sizing, etc. I suppose one could do similarly for the Hide-Show regions using Javascript or JQuery but it would likely be an effort.
    Admittedly, such added features are cool and all. Still, it's been my experience that in the majority of business-like production environments, such "cool" features are pretty much useless. For example, I do not see how re-sizing the accordian or Hide-Show regions has much purpose. In fact, such "cool" features often get in the way of the main goal of the application.
    Of course, a JQuery accordian may also be created that expands/contracts slices "horizontally". I do not know of any way to do the same thing using Hide-Show regions. If someone does know how to do this, I (and likely others) would sure appreciate you sharing how.
    So, then, with respect to basic functionality (saving page real estate by encapsulating several regions), how is a JQuery vertical accordian any different than Apex's own builtin "Hide-Show" region?
    Thank you all for your thoughts/adice/code.
    Elie

    Hello Jari.
    Thank you for your help.
    Yes. Now I do understand what it is you are doing in your accordian page. And also I want to thsnk you for providing the sample code on your page showing how to go about preserving the current state of the accordian when you navigate from/to the page.
    You commented that this kind of state preservation is not available with the Hide/Show region. I'm thinking that you are correct, though I think I once saw something about doing this posted in this Forum. I'll search through and see if I can locate it.
    In any case, have you (or anyone else reading this thread) any other differences between a JQuery vertical accordian and Apex's own Hide/Show region? Other than being able to apply Javascript to an accordian to do things like preserve it's state (like you did), what else may one do with an accordian that is not doable (or at least not easily doable) with a Hide/Show region?
    Thank you for any further advice.
    Elie
