Creating a Click-Reveal Text Screen in Adobe Captivate 5

I’m back with the next type of screen. We learned how to create a Tabbed Screen couple of weeks back. Now let’s see how we can create a Click-Reveal Text screen in Adobe Captivate 5. Before we get into the steps, let me show you how the screen would look like:

Looks good? Want to add such a screen in your course? Go ahead and follow these simple steps:

Happy Captivating! :)

    How can we create flash cards in Captivate? Appreciate if you could publish a tutorial on designing flash card interaction.

    I am glad to see that Adobe fixed the problem in Captivate 4 that made the timeline continue when a button was pushed, no matter what. In creating similar interactions to this, you had to use some other variables to ensure that the project just didn’t start back up and move to the next slide, which was a time consuming pain.

    Now…my question…I just downloaded the 5.5 upgrade trial version, and I am hoping my work buys it. Do you know if there is a way to combine this type of interaction with some kind of animation effect so that the text can fly in or otherwise appear in a more flashy way than just popping in? I am not having much luck.

      Never mind. Figured it out. :) Just had an inspiration. I do like how Adobe improved the advanced interaction functionality. Much, much cleaner and easier to use.

    Hi there, I just downloaded the trial version of version 5.5 (upgraded from 4). I can only see the old image buttons from Captivate 4, and I don’t see the lovely one you used (click_up). Did you create that button yourself?

    • poojajaisingh

      Yes, i created them using images from fotolia.com :)
