# Adding click boxes

Captivate lets you add another level of interactivity to projects by using click boxes. Click boxes are clickable boxes that you can size and position. You can use click boxes to demonstrate an application's functionality, for example, by requiring users to click a menu or button. Of course, you determine what happens after the user performs a successful click. For example, the movie can advance to the next slide, open a URL, or send an e-mail message.

#### To add a click box:

1. Open a Captivate project.

2. Double-click on the slide to which you want to add a click box.

3. From the Insert menu, select Click Box.

The Click Box dialog box appears.

4. Select the Click Box tab.

This tab lets you determine how the movie responds to user interaction. The options are divided into two basic categories: what happens when the user clicks inside the click box and what happens when the user clicks outside the click box.

If the user clicks inside the click box

On success: Specify what should happen after a user clicks inside the box. You can select Continue, Go to previous slide, Go to next slide, Jump to slide, Open URL or file, Open other movie, Send e-mail to,Execute JavaScript, or No Action.

Note: If you select the Open URL or file option and specify a URL, the URL is visible when you edit the slide in Captivate. However, it will not be visible to the user. To show the URL, create a simple image with the URL text on the image, add the image to your slide, and place a click box over the image.

Continue: Depending upon the type of action you selected above, this box changes to let you to enter destination information.

If the user clicks outside the click box

Allow user [#] attempts: Click the arrows to select the number of attempts a user can make before another action takes place.

Infinite attempts: Select this option to give users an unlimited number of attempts.

After last attempt: Specify what you want to happen after the last attempt. You can select Continue, Go to previous slide, Go to next slide, Jump to slide, Open URL or file, Open other movie, Send e-mail to, Execute JavaScript, or No Action.

Continue: Depending upon the type of action you selected above, this box changes to let you enter destination information.

5. Click the Options tab. This tab lets you design how the click box looks. Select from the following options:

   Display time [#] seconds: Specify the total number of seconds the click box should appear.

   Appear after [#] seconds: Specify the number of seconds that should pass before the click box appears on the slide.

   Hint caption: Select this option to include a hint caption. (The hint caption appears when users move the mouse over the click box.)

   Success caption: Select this option to include a success caption (for example, Congratulations!).

   Failure caption: Select this option to include a failure caption (for example, Sorry, please try again).

   Show pointing hand when over success hit area: Select this option to have the pointing hand appear when a user moves the mouse over the click box.

   Stop audio when clicked: Select this option if you want the audio to stop playing when the user clicks the click box. This option stops only slide audio, not background audio. Also, only a mouse click on the click box stops the audio; using a shortcut key combination does not stop the audio.

   Pause movie until user clicks: Select this option if you want the project to stop playing until the user clicks the click box.

   Double mouse click: Select this option to allow users to double-click the click box.

6. If you want to add audio
   to the click box, click the Audio tab.

7. If you want to keep score for the click box or coordinate the score with a learning management system, click the Scoring tab. Select from the following options:

   - Keep score: This option keeps a quiz score.

   - Weighting: Weighting signifies the relative importance of a click box question. You can enter any numeric value (without decimals). If all questions have the same value ("1", for example), they are scored equally. If you want to set different values for different questions, keep in mind that weights are relative to each other. So, a question assigned a weight of "2" has a value twice as high as a question with a weight of "1." You can use this feature to give introductory questions a lower value and advanced questions a higher value.

   - Objective ID: This is an optional parameter. If the click box question is related to an objective set in your learning management system, enter the objective here.

   - Interaction ID: If you want the Captivate movie to send tracking information to your learning management system, you must use the interaction ID specified by your learning management system.

8. Click OK.

The click box appears on the slide.

9. Size and drag the click box as desired.

10. If you selected the Success, Failure, or Hint caption options, double-click the text boxes to edit the text.
