Create One Set of Custom Buttons That Display for Your Entire Captivate Project

In this video tutorial, I will show you how you can create a single set of navigation buttons that, when set up correctly, will display across your entire course. Also, you will learn how to write an advanced action that toggles the audio in your project and toggle the button itself through the use of adding multi-states.

Material Design Icons in Your Captivate eLearning

I'm a big fan of pictures rather than words. Because of this, I'm always looking for ways to use iconography instead of words to convey meaning in my eLearning projects. In this Adobe Captivate tutorial, I show you how you can use the Material Design icons for your Adobe Captivate 2019 eLearning projects for your navigation controls and other buttons.

The Material Icons Guide Here is where you can get the line of text to add to your Index.html file. I would have pasted it here but angle brackets are not allowed in YouTube descriptions.

The Good Old Show / Hide Technique

You know when you work directly with Adobe and are immersed in Adobe's software, you sometimes forget that not everyone has access to the latest version. I recently recorded a video on performing certain functions with multi state objects. I guess I just took it for granted that after a year in the marketplace, Adobe Captivate 9 would just be everywhere. I forget there are still many customers still working with the Captivate 8.

In this video I revisit an old technique that has been mostly supplanted by Adobe Captivate 9 and it's ability to give users direct access to multi state objects. In this video I show users how to take advantage of the good old show / hide technique to change the appearance of an object by substituting that object for another very similar object. I think we should keep these techniques in our back pocket as designers because they may still have some use under certain circumstances.
