Not sure if this has been covered or not so here we go…
Captivate has this great feature that allows you to change the state of an object. I have used this in many situations where I need to swap an image based on input from a user. Two that I use often are to display some form of icon as a way to inform the learner that an answer was right or wrong and to change the ‘display’ of a screen as part of a simulated activity.
Have you considered using states as a form of navigation? This might be suited best for less interactive projects or even small websites.
A nice thing is that it required no fancy advanced actions or javascript – only six buttons with change state actions and six matching states – all on a single slide.
In this post I thought I would share this idea and perhaps it will provide some creative fuel for you and some of your own projects.
