How to automatically run javascript code from Captivate 3?

[thisisabadidea]

Howdy everyone,

My company uses a custom webpage to display the finished SWF files generated by Captivate 3.  This page has menu buttons on the side that link to other videos that are related to the video being watched.

We want to add a little bit of spice to the menu, and highlight the next video in the series after the current SWF has finished playing.

Now I know that Captivate 3 will launch a Javascript code when either a button is pushed, a text box is used, or a clickbox is activated, but we are looking for a way for Captivate 3 to launch a Javascript code apart from user input.  Any suggestions?

Hi there

One of the options you have available when Captivate finishes playing a movie is to Execute JavaScript. Perhaps use that?

Funny how I looked through every other menu besides that one.

Thanks Rick, you're a timesaver!
