Adobe Captivate 6.x Free Widget: Time Based Actions

 

 

Time Based Actions

This widget was created using the awesome WidgetFactory framework. 

No longer be limited to the slide’s enter and exit actions.  Why not fire an action at any point on the timeline?  This interactive widget will execute an action when the playhead enters the widget on the timeline, and when the playhead exits the widget on the timeline.

Timeline

So when the playhead enters the widget, it fires the “Success” action.  When the playhead exits the widget, it fires the “Failure” action.

This widget was developed to work around a Captivate issue where the Slide exit action is only fired when the playhead hits the last frame of the slide.  If you have a button on the timeline that jumps to another slide, the current slide’s exit action will not fire.  This widget solves the problem by executing the needed action at any point on the timeline.
