Chapter 6: Adding and Managing Objects
Objects are different elements that you can add to Adobe Captivate slides. Adobe Captivate has many different types
of objects.
Types of objects
Adobe Captivate provides various objects that you can use to 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 103
• “Text entry boxes” on page 106
• “Buttons” on page 109
• “Widgets” on page 116
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 63
• “Rollover captions” on page 73
• “Highlight boxes” on page 75
• “Mouse” on page 76
• “Rollover slidelets” on page 79
• “Zoom areas” on page 82
• “Images and rollover images” on page 83
• “Drawing tools” on page 87
• “Animations” on page 90
• “Animated text” on page 92
• “FLV/F4V” on page 93
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.
