Storyline vs. Captivate...

Hi Bruce,

Are you looking to prevent the end-user from advancing to the next slide until certain conditions are fulfilled?  There's many ways to do that.  Here's a few examples:

Thanks Brian,

I guess what happened here was I looked at the Captivate worked example, and thought "Jeez!  From what I know of Storyline, I wonder how many pages the most elegant example of doing exactly the same would take?". It was specifically the "selecting in a specific order" part that I was wondering about.

It just looked like a heck of a lot of work to achieve something that, i suspect, is doable in SL, and wanted to place the two examples side-by-side, almost as a comparative "sales" document, but did not have the time to actually figure it out myself.

Thanks for the examples anyway, and if anyone wants to have a try I'd appreciate seeing the difference!

Hi Bruce,

There are many ways to do a "click in a specific order" interaction.  I've attached a sample to this reply.

That is a great solution Brian! Many thanks for sharing this.

Best regards,

Brian,

I have to admit that I do not understand the logic of this, that's my brain rather than anything else, however...what I CAN see is the ease with which this has been achieved compared to the Captivate solution.

That's what I was looking for, so many thanks.

The logic was explained here:

(Note:  The screencast was recorded during the beta and I've lost a lot of sleep since then.  Thus, my logic might not be as logical as I thought.)

Thanks for that Brian.

I guess some brains are just wired in different ways!

I do not "see" how these things work, and am certainly not able to "imagine" them without a lot of hard brain-work. I can see (vaguely) what's going on, but will need to sit and dissect this over coffee.

Many thanks

Bruce
