How do I use the same execute advanced actions?

I am using captivate 5, windows 7
I created a slide with several click boxes and images.  I name them, for example,
Click Box A  Image A
Click Box B  Image B
Click Box C  Imsge C
And perhaps Images D, E, F
I created Advanced actions, for example,
Show_Image_A - which shows A and hides B and C - and shows Image D
Show_image_B - which shows B and hides A and C - and shows images D and E
Show_image_C - which shows C and hides A and B - and shows Image F
Then On Success for each of the click boxes, Execute advanced actions as below:
Click Box A - Show Image A
Click Box B - Show Image B
Click Box C - Show image C
Works fine.
My problem:  I want to repeat this slide's actions again (and over and over) with new images, same actions of click boxes.  SO - I thought I could copy it and paste it where I wanted it.  I want to use it again later in the same project - and I want to be able to use it again in anothe project.  I was hoping NOT to have to rebuild the slide every time, but here's what I am seeing:
The click boxes and images are in the duplicated slide - BUT they all have different names - no longer my named Click_Box_A, but Click_Box_<number>, etc each time I paste it has a new number.  SO - my advanced actions still say Click Box A, Image A, etc - and obviously they're not recognized here. SO - my actions don't work here.
It is painful - and tedious! - to change the names of all the objects and then change the names in the advanced actions.  There MUST be a way to do this that I don't know about?
Please can someone help me?
THANK YOU!!

Hello,
You cannot copy an advanced action from one project to another, that is really a pity. Please, if you have time, fill in a feature request!
If the actions are always similar: why not create a template with the advanced actions you mostly use and create future projects on that template. I do it that way for the advanced actions I'm using often.

    Hi,
    I have attached here an example of doing the same using shift registers and local variables. Take a look. Shift register is always a better option than local variables.

  • HT204053 My husband and I have separate apple IDs, how do we use the same iTunes account

    My husband and I have separate apple IDs , how do we use the same iTunes account

    You don't. Each ID is associated with a separate account. Each of you should maintain a separate user account on your computer so as to maintain separate iTunes Libraries. Do not sync your phone with your husbands account or Apple ID and vice-versa or your data will become inter-mixed or worse - deleted from the phone.
    Try to understand that iDevices are intended for use by one person with one Apple ID, one iTunes Library, and one iTunes account. They are not multi-user devices.

  • How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2.  I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use.  how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

  • How can I use the same thread to display time in both JPanel & status bar

    Hi everyone!
    I'd like to ask for some assistance regarding the use of threads. I currently have an application that displays the current time, date & day on three separate JLabels on a JPanel by means of a thread class that I created and it's working fine.
    I wonder how would I be able to use the same thread in displaying the current time, date & day in the status bar of my JFrame. I'd like to be able to display the date & time in the JPanel and JFrame synchronously. I am developing my application in Netbeans 4.1 so I was able to add a status bar in just a few clicks and codes.
    I hope somebody would be able to help me on this one. A simple sample code would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    As you're using Swing, using threads directly just for this kind of purpose would be silly. You might as well use javax.swing.Timer, which has done a lot of the work for you already.
    You would do it something like this...
        ActionListener timerUpdater = new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                // DateFormat would be better, but this is an example.
                String timeString = new Date().toString();
                statusBar.setText(timeString);
                someOtherLabel.setText(timeString);
        new Timer(1000, timerUpdater).start();That code will update the time once a second. If you aren't going to display seconds, you might as well increase the delay.
    The advantage of using a timer over using an explicit thread, is that multiple Swing timers will share a single thread. This way you don't blow out your thread count. :-)

  • How do I use the same apple id for 2 iPads, but not share email, phone #, etc.?

    I have had 2 iPads for a couple years, both using the same apple id. One is used primarily by my husband. Today I got notifications that my husband's ipad is now using all the same email addresses and phone number associated with mine. How do I change this?

    You can set the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, but have different Apple ID's for Messages, iCloud and Facetime.
    Settings->iCloud->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Just go into Settings, and make sure the Apple ID set for those services is different for both iPads.

  • How do I use the same profile for two users on the same computer

    I use my laptop both at home and at work. And in each venue I use a different user log on. But I wish to have firefox use the same profile for each user log on. How can I get firefox to point to the same profile for each user?

    Note that only one user (Firefox instance) can use a profile folder at the time, so if you would switch the Windows user to another account then you would first have to close Firefox.

  • How can I use the same "I Tunes" on two different computers

    I’m using two different kinds of Personal Computer: One is Desktop PC And the other one is Notebook .
    In each computer there are the same songs and when I get the new ones to the Desktop I want them to be placed on the Notebook or reverse.
    Where does the I Tunes save the playlist on the hard drive ?
    I have prepared a playlist on my Notebook and want it to be seen on the Desktop but I dont want to fallow the steps File > Library > Export Playlist on the Notebook. Is there any other way to make this issue instead of the mentioned steps.
    How can I see the same Playlists and songs on two different computers ( notebook and desktop) including the updating processes.
    Operating systems of the computers:
    Desktop: XP Pro
    Notebook: Vista Bussiness

    I use SyncToy 2.0 to keep two instances of my library in sync. SyncToy's preview will show which files it is about to update giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time.
    As long as I sync after making updates at one instance of the library before making any updates at the other then everything works just fine. I periodically run iTunes Folder Watch to check for any orphaned entries or new items that haven't been imported into the active library. If your machines are regularly networked together this process is fairly straightfoward. Mine are in disparate locations so I use one of the (physically) small WD My Passport host powered drives which I take between home & work, synchronising at either end. This gives me three complete copies of my library so I'm covering backup & synchronisation in the same operation.
    When connecting my iPod at either location iTunes recognises itself as the "home" library for the iPod so I'm able to use the sync with selected playlists option without getting warning messages about the iPod being synced with a different library.
