State Button Widget

I would just like to find out where to access the free download Dani spoke of in her video in regards to the State widget button update

Hi David,
The State Button Widget was introduced in November 2013 release. The new updates for Muse are automatically offered to the users when the updates are available. If for any reason, your muse was not updated, please close it and open it again. You should get the update muse prompt.
If the video you mentioned in your post is about something else, please provide us the video link and we'll further look into it.
Cheers!

Customising the button widget

Hi
I would like to include the navigation options on all my slides to give the user control of the presentation, from reading other posts, the best way to do this seems to be to include the button widget on the master slide. I have looked at inserting this but is there a way to make this just an image of an arrow rather than a text box?
Thanks

Hello,
The button widget is a static widget. If you have access to a Flash Developer, it could be customized, the source file is available with Captivate. Because it is a static widget you can use it on the master slide, which is not the case for interactive objects (like buttons or click boxes or interactive widgets). And it has the look of a real button, there are different states when hovering over it etc. But it is indeed a Text Button. A more simple solution would be to delete the text and put an image of an arrow on top of the widget, but its color will not change with the state.

State Button behaving like Photoshop Smart Object?

I've created a State button which I have copied across three panels in a tabbed panel widget. I assigned a link (file download) to the first button before duplicating the button across the next two panels. When I change any one instance of the link, the other two change with it. Is this the expected behaviour?

Hi David,
This is not the expected behavior. I have created the state button and applied a link to it and then paste it to the other tabs and then change the links and it seems to be working fine. I will recommend that you try to recreate another button and see if the same thing happens with the other button too.

Style Rendering toolbar: link states buttons.

Hi,
I do not manage to display a link rendered according to a pseudo-class using those link states buttons. Any help?
All the best.

Since you don't seem to have an example page to look at, let's do this backwards.
Create a test page in Dreamweaver. Add this code inside the body (in Code View):
<div class="fubar">
<h1>Fubar links </h1>
<p><a href="#">Nulla facilisi</a>. </p>
<p><a href="#">Curabitur quam</a>. </p>
</div>
Add this style sheet to the head of your page:
<style type="text/css">
.fubar a:hover, .fubar a:focus {
color: #F30;
</style>
Now in Design View, click the ":h" icon on the style rendering toobar. If you followed the instructions, your links will both turn red. If you need further help, you really need to post a link to a test page on your web server.

Is there a way to create a multi-state button or have a pict ring behave like boolean?

Does someone know of a way to make a multi-state button say (function one, function two,function three, off) or implement boolean-like behavior for a pict ring? I want to be able to cycle through the states without a menu popping up for all possible values. So when I press this button or ring it will go from state-1, to state-2, to state-3 etc.

Place a transparent button over a ring. On button value change events,
or via polling, increment the ring indicator. Better yet, put the value
in a shift register that gets incremented and displayed in the ring
indicator.

Is there a way to make state transitions/animations of a fl.control states - button for example ?

Is there a way to make state transitions/animations of a fl.control states - button for example ?
All I can do now is change the skin design and that's it, I can't animate between states like I can with Flash Builder skins. So is there a way to do that, any technique or I have to create a button component from scratch?
Thanks!

simplebuttons have upState etc properties you can use to assign movieclips to the 3 states. you can use the currentFrame property of movieclps to (appear to) smoothly transition from one state to another.

How to Use an Image to Customize the Static Button Widget

Can I just get someone to help me figure out how to use an image to customize the static button widget, please?
I have tried using several different types of images, but none of them seem to actually change the appearance of the button.
Thanks!
Laura
Captivate 5.5

I tried to use the tools within the widget itself - it offers you the opportunity to use an image (see screenshot below).
I also opened it in Flash and tried to replace the images for one of the button styles there w/ my own, but in re-publishing the SWF from there I broke the widget. When I attempted to use the edited widget, there were no customization controls available after I inserted it (see screenshot two below).

Adding an image to the Static Button Widget

Hi all
I managed to convince my client to let me do my own navigation instead of using the by default navigation bar and its limitations. I finally will be able to do branching and customised feedback on several slides! Great. BUT. There is a but. I need to make the new buttons look like the current ones: Pause/Play, previous, next, TOC and Exit.
I was happy to discover that I could use a static button widget on my master to deal with my previous and next buttons for all my standard slides. But when I try to add an image of my button the way I want it to look, it looks like that:
If I resize the button the picture remains at the same size:
I don't get the Image feature here at all and I wonder if it's possible to customise the button with our own pictures...
Any success anybody?

Alright thanks for your suggestions. Yes I am publishing to a slightly different location and I pasted the picture at the root of the published folder. The pic is found but it appears tiny:
It should replace the button by default but it is added to the button actually, by its side.
Cheers

How do I make a Radio Button Widget Report to an LMS?

Alright....still trying to solve my basic problem.....
I can put in a radio button widget which looks great, but radio buttons do not report info to LMS. THen I can use Ravvi's code style to set a variable based on which radio button was clicked and then take a specific action depending on the value. The action I want is to send info to LMS. How can I do this?

I may have, but I have run across many Survey forms that do exactly that.
Some also have checkboxes as well and they are used for Check all that apply.
For all I know they may be using JavaScript code for the buttons to react the way the do.
I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember the old two button light switches. push one in and the others pop out. Push the other in and the first pops out. That's the button action I see on many survey forms.
I am not saying it correct. But if its not correct, how does one change their mind if the clicked the wrong choice?

Fustrating problem with self-made 5-state button

Hey guys, just wondering if you could help me, i don't have
much knowledge with actionscript and i created my own 5 state
button using a movie clip and a little bit of actionscript by
following a tutorial online. (
http://www.sanctifiedstudios.com/advanced-five-state-buttons/)
Basically, when rolled over, the button slides out, and when
rolled off, the button slides back in. The problem is, while the
button is rolling back in, if you flick your mouse onto the button
again quickly, instead of restarting the roll-out animation, the
button just flickers quickly between the in position and the out
position.
You can see it for yourself here: www.everlightmusic.com <
hover your mouse over the buttons on the right, move your mouse
off, and then while its rolling back in, quickly move your mouse
back onto it.
The actionscript for the buttons is this:
quote:
this.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(20);
this.onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(30);
this.onPress = function(){
this.gotoAndStop(29);
this.onRelease = function(){
this.gotoAndStop(29);
this.onReleaseOutside = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(40);
this.onRelease = function(){
_parent.gotoAndPlay(31)
And here is a screenshot of the movie clip timeline:
Click
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated :)

yeah this is typical when using a timeline based button
action. two things you could do:
1) control the state change by using a variable to indicate
when the motion is complete (or not) like 'isOpen' - you'd need to
do this for each button in combination with a condition in the
handler that 'reads' the var and determines the course of action -
of course the next problem is that if you 'rollout' while the
motion is happening and the handler fires previous to the setting
of the var to it's 'new' state it won't close because the condition
would only be fired once - the only way around that would be to
include a loop that runs until the condition is satisfied.
2) much better than the above method (which would get messy
fast) is to simply use the 'tween' class to create you motions, you
can then 'open' or 'close' from what ever the current position of
the clip is at the moment the handler is fired. you've got your
code on the timeline of the 'button' MC (good job) so you could
change it to something like this:

Radio Button Widget Highlight Options

In Captivate 5.5, is it possible for the standard radio button widget (RadioButtons.swf) to not have a highlight color behind the text? I just want a transparent background with text so the master slide background shows. Adjusting the Alpha Channel only effects the radio buttons themselves, not the highlight color.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
But I have bad news, having explored this widget a lot, and struggled with that 'highlight color' a lot. I try to put it on a uniform colored background and apply the background color as a Highlight. Didn't find another way.
Perhaps a tip: do download the enhanced version of this widget, that allows you to control it more (variable can be changed by advanced actions and displayed). It was created by Jim Leichliter (CaptivatePro) and it is FREE:

How to create a 3-state button (similar look as OK button) that toggles between 3 different colors.

How do I create a 3-state button that looks similar to the OK button except it changes to 3 different colors every time it is pressed. Does anyone have such a control ready for use that I can just drop in my front panel?

With a picture ring you can implement a 3 color button without any code. Look at the attached customized control.
I have imported the picture of a boolean in three different items and
colored them. I centered the text and hide/made transparent uneeded
graphic elements. I set the size of the decrement arrow to cover all
the picture and made it transparent so when you click on the control
you decrement the value of the ring and change the picture/color
Edit: you'll notice that the picture is not fullt covered by the
decrement arrow so if you click near the bottom of the button, the
picture ring will show its normal behavior displaying all 3 available
items

Adding full screen code into Captivate 5's basic Button Widget

Hi everyone!
I was able to create a full screen button in Flash that works with Captivate 5 projects, however, I want to be able to active the full screen feature for every button created using the basic 'button' widget that comes with the Captivate program. I am not a AS3 programmer so I think my issue is that I am confused as to where to place the full screen code into the existing 'button widget' code. Below is the code ...
Thanks in advance!!

HERE IS THE FULLSCREEN CODE THAT I USE

stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

How to create a button Widget

Hi,
Can any one tell me how to create a button widget,
I've created one & it can be seen in my plugin, but it doesn't work,
in .fr file i created the widget as,
ButtonWidget
           kEXTCODGoButtonWidgetID,
           kSysButtonPMRsrcId,
            kBindNone,                        // Binding ,kBindRight | kBindBottom,
            Frame(50,70,140,90)                    // Frame (l,t,r,b)
            kTrue, kTrue,                     // Visible, Enabled
            "Run", // PNGIconAttributes, new for InDesign 3.0
in DialogObserver.cpp
for AutoAttach & AutoDetach,,
AttachToWidget(kEXTCODGoButtonWidgetID, IID_ITRISTATECONTROLDATA, panelControlData)
DetachFromWidget(kEXTCODGoButtonWidgetID, IID_ITRISTATECONTROLDATA, panelControlData);
in ::update
WidgetID theSelectedWidget = controlView->GetWidgetID();
if (theChange == kTrueStateMessage)
//if (theSelectedWidget == kEXTCODGoButtonWidgetID
switch(theSelectedWidget.Get())
         case kEXTCODGoButtonWidgetID:
this->ViewOutput();
break;
please tell me what may be the wrong...

Hi,
Do you have any idea about how to get the class name (ex: kSplineItemBoss) from a ClassID.
I know how to get the class id;
                                                  ClassID unknownClassID = ::GetClass(unknown);
I found it from an example..
now i want to know which class name related to that ClassID..
Thanks.

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!
