How to create a rollover button effect in Captivate 7?

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Captivate 6 to Captivate 7 and am curious to know how I can create a rollover state for a SmartShape button. Basically, let's say I have a SmartShape being used as a button. What I want is to have the button have a glow effect and a shadow effect each time the mouse is hovered over it. Is there an easier way than having two objects on the slide -- one as the normal state and one the mouse hoever image. What I'm thinking is that the mouse hovered state image will have it's 'Visible in Output' set as unchecked and I can use an Advanced Action to show the object on mouse hover. Perhaps I can have the mouse hovered state image as a rollover SmartShape too?
Nonetheless, this looks like too much work. If I have 10 clickables on the page for which I want rollover effects, I would need to have 10 additional objects with their rollover states -- just seems like too much, but perhaps that's the Captivate way. Or I am I missing the obvious?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

Most people would say the easiest way to achieve what you are talking about would be to just create your own custom image button in a graphics editor and give the Over state image having the glow effect that you want.
If you decide to go that route, this tutorial describes the process of creating an image button:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate/create-custom-image-buttons
Another possibility is that you can use the Infosemantics Event Handler widget to trigger an Apply Effect action and use the Glow filter as the effect. 
However, this may require some tweaking since it's not that easy to time effects that are applied via an advanced action.

  • How to create a custom button/ double button

    First of all I am relative new to
    Java 2D programming; therefore,
    I am seeking some help and advice of
    how to create a complex double button
    a big one which is responsible for
    the use case and a small one which
    will show some help text if pressed.

    A 3D effect should distinct and signify whether the Use Case

    I am looking for some example or best practice that

    4) Round or organic borders
    5) 3D effect
    Thanks in advance.

    What you are asking here is something complex enough that nobody is going to explain it to you in one forum post. We are talking about creating your own custom button component. I would suggest you check out the book [Filthy Rich Clients|http://www.amazon.com/Filthy-Rich-Clients-Developing-Applications/dp/0132413930/].

  • How to create a custom Button in a SNP planning book

    Hi Experts,
    I created my own Planning Book and Dataview in SNP with 3 Key Figures: KF1, KF2, KF3. Now I want to create one my own button with Macro so that when I press that button, the Macro will run to calculate: KF3 = KF1 + KF2.
    I know that I can drag this Macro to one of default events like: Default, Level Change, Start. But actually, I want to create my own button so that I can handle the event as I want.
    My question are:
    1. How to create a custom button on the toolbar of SNP Planning book and writing macro for the button?
    2. Please give me any document, material teaching about writing macro and relating to my above scenario.
    Thanks very much!

    Hi,
    Access the transaction "/n/sapapo/advm". In the list select your planning book/ data view and click 'Start Macro Builder' button.
    In the Macro builder screen, drag and drop your macro from Macro depot to the work area.
    Right click on your macro name and select 'properties'. In the pop up, next to the Assigned Push button field, there is a button 'Choose'. Click that. It will display all the available icons. In standard system, it displays more than 1000 icon. Choose any one icon which is suitable for your macro function. Close the pop up and save the macro. This will assign a push button to your macro.
    In the Planning book tool bar, you can see the selected icon in the header tool bar. Just by clicking that icon, you can execute the macro interactively.
    And I don't know whether we can include/design our own icon. But there are already 1000+ standard icons to choose.

  • How to Create a Persistent button on the top HTML gallery

    Hi,
    In my InDesign Folio I have an article with full page HTML photo gallery. The photo grid occupies the full screen. I want to create a Persistent button on the top of this gallery which user can tap to go to the Main Menu page. This button is  always visible at one place even as user scrolls up and down the gallery. I tried creating it on the top layer, and on the top layer for Master page, but the button disapperas when the HTML gallery loads.
    So the user does not see any button to navigate out of the gallery to another article.
    Any ideas how to create the persistent button ?
    Thanks in advance.
    -MP

    Depending on if you are using the HTML as either an article or in an overlay, you may be able to either use the standard navto and goto hyperlinks syntax or place a blank button on top of your link in the HTML.
    I am not sure if using the standard navto and goto syntax will work between an HTML article and an Indesign article. Maybe Bob Bringhurst, Bob Levine, or one of the staff members can clarify. If you are using your HTML in an overlay, you can add a transparent button on top of your link or image to return to whatever page you like.

    How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
    Eric Steven Raymond
    Rick Moen
    Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
    We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
    So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal ? in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
    Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
    More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

  • ZLM00: How to create the logout-button?

    LS.,
    I am creating my own LM00 screens which work fine. There is one button hat I still have to add: LOGOUT.
    Of course I can create the button and give it a functioncode, but what do I have to let it do to make the user logout?
    I tried functions like:
    EXIT, LEAVE TO SCREEN 0, LEAVE PROGRAM, LEAVE, RETURN, STOP, CALL TRANSACTION '/NEX'.
    Also I tried to debug the original LM00 transaction, but it is not debuggable using /h /hs or /he.
    I have also searched for function modules that log the user out, but did not find any.
    Anybody any idea how to create the logout-button?
    Best regards,
    Tim van Steenbergen.

    Got it.
    Functionmodule SAPGUI_SET_FUNCTIONCODE does some part, but only works for a dialogsession. When trying this on a scanner, it did not do anything because this interface does not have a transaction box to enter the functioncode in.
    The trick that worked was call 'SYS_LOGOFF'.

  • How to create Mouse rollover/rotate actions

    Hi! Thanks for reading.
    I'm interested in learning how to create a "3d" object that a user can interact with using their mouse. I've taken 60+ pictures of a camera rotating by 5 degree increments and I'm trying to put together something similar to what Verizon has on their website for phones -  Where your mouse rolls over an object and rotates it.
    I've seen this done with Java as well, but I'm interested in how flash does it. Can someone help point me in the right direction on where to start please?
    Thanks for your time.

    I am sure it is not the best way to do it since I don't have coding skills. I would create multiple narrow buttons that have a rollover to call up the desired image.

    Hi
    I believe that you should look at the Forms functionality for UCM . Under Content Management - Web Form Editor will show up the editor where in you can add buttons and attach functionalities to it . With UCM 11g this is not available thus you might need to use AJAX to build the requirement .
    Thanks
