Chapter 6: Adding and Managing Objects
Objects are different elements that you can add to Adobe Captivate slides. These objects enhance the usability and
interactivity of your Adobe Captivate project.
Adobe Captivate objects can be broadly classified as follows:
Interactive objects Objects that perform an action when the user interacts with them using a mouse or keyboard. You
can assign a score for user interactions with such objects.
For example, a click box is an interactive object that performs a defined action when the user clicks it. You can assign
points for every correct click. The following interactive objects are available in Adobe Captivate:
• “Click boxes” on page 118
• “Text entry boxes” on page 121
• “Buttons” on page 114
• “Widgets” on page 127
Noninteractive objects Objects that are used to display information to the user. You cannot assign scores to
noninteractive objects.
The following noninteractive objects are available in Adobe Captivate:
• “Text captions” on page 72
• “Rollover captions” on page 82
• “Highlight boxes” on page 84
• “Mouse” on page 85
• “Rollover slidelets” on page 88
• “Zoom areas” on page 91
• “Images and rollover images” on page 93
• “Drawing tools” on page 98
• “Animations” on page 101
• “Animated text” on page 104
• “FLV/F4V” on page 105
Controlling the visibility of objects
You can hide an object on a slide, and define conditions that must be satisfied for the object to be displayed.
The following example illustrates how to hide an image on a slide until the user clicks the Show Image button.
1 Select Insert > Image to insert an image on the slide.
2 In the Property Inspector, type a name for the image in the Item Name text box. For example, My_Image.
3 Clear the Visible check box.
4 Select Insert > Standard Objects > Button.
