Content Summary
Course Introduction
Set Up
Learn how to include CpExtra in your Captivate courses.
Create a local host server
We'll install a local host server to test how our projects will work on the web.
Chapter 1: Preference Variables
Disable Playbar Scrubbing
Preventing the learner scrubbing the playbar is as easy as defining a single variable.
Alter Text Box Behaviour
We'll discuss two preference variables that give you the power to do more with text entry boxes.
Redecorate the Multichoice Question
Change the rollover appearance of multichoice answers with two preference variables.
Chapter 2: Command Variables
Run Batch Actions with @syntax
Hide, show, enable and disable any number of objects in a single line of code. Learn the wizardry that is @syntax.
Mark unvisited slides complete
Say goodbye to your completion status woes. Fear the branching scenario no more!
Change the Mouse Cursor
Change the cursor to an iBeam, even when not over a text field. Display a loading animation. Or hide it entirely!
Chapter 3: Course Communication
Local and session Storage
Via building a functional menu page that displays which course modules have been viewed, we will learn how to utilize local storage and session storage to facilitate communication between Captivate modules.
Get Variables
Change the value of variables by changing your course URL.
Chapter 4: Enhanced Object States
Use Variables to Change STates
By combining enhanced object states with local storage variables we'll complete the menu page we started in chapter 3. All that with NO Advanced Actions!
Change States By Mouse Event
Create rollover and down states on any slide object. Then we'll make states that only appear with a combination of mouse and variable input.
Chapter 5: Event Listeners
Call One Advanced Action From Another
Learn how to reuse your code by calling a series of small Advanced Actions, rather than building one giant unwieldy one.
Respond to Mouse Events
Move beyond click boxes and into the brave new world of event listeners! Trigger actions when rolling over, rolling out, mousing down, mousing up, or double clicking any slide object.
Trigger actions when video/audio ends
Sometimes you need to know when the learner has watched a video all the way to the end. After this chapter you'll even be able to trigger an action when this happens.
