I have been trying to find a way to create an interactive button in Captivate 5.5 that will allow the learner to exit my project. Today I came across the Rapid eLearning / Adobe Captivate Blog titled "Creating Custom Adobe Captivate 5 buttons". This question was asked and the response was that there is a workaround.
Has anyone done this and been successful? I've tried this and can't seem to make it work. Either nothing happens or for some reason it just advances my presentation to the next slide. I would really love any help I can get to make this work. Thanks.

Can you show us a screenshot of the Properties > Actions accordion of the button?

Here are screen shots from the Actions accordion for the page with the button along with the Actions accordian from the last slide and the Properties window.
Thanks for your help.

Does it work if you change your button type to an ordinary text button and make your final slide a little longer duration, say 1 second?

I just tried that and it didn't work either. So far nothing I've found seems to work. I may just have to use the exit button that the skin provides when It's published.

Hi Kim
If you read the link I pointed you to, you will discover that the Exit button on the playback control will most likely also fail.

How do you publish the project? Would it be an option to publish to PDF?

Can you assign JS to the button?
javascript:top.window.close();

Can you tell me how to do that and I'll give it a try. I'm using version 5.5

Here's how I did mine.
That's it. You can publish and test it locally on your computer.

Hi James
And are you saying that this works 100% of the time in all browsers regardless of how the window was opened?

I wish that was the case. This was tested using Internet Explorer. Our courses are opened in their own window when being launched from the SkillSoft LMS.
Therefore, I cannot say for sure if this works for Safari, Chrome, FireFox, etc...

It works in Chrome too.
But only when I do "Preview in Web Browser" from Captivate.
Published file does not work in Chrome, or Explorer for that matter.
