In captivate you can convert any interactive or non- interactive object to a multi-state object. The This was the first multi state object I created during the Adobe Captivate 2019 Specialist Certificate program. I have to say it’s much simpler than the multi-state objects in Captivate 8 and 9.
In this sample the image above has three states:
1. Normal
2. Correct
3. Incorrect

I’m also a fan of multistate objects. Once, I used a custom object state to trigger a short film.
Nice work. I really enjoyed the different reactions.

I appreciate the multistate objects as much as you do. However in the summary there is some typo. Multistate objects were available since CP8 and the basic workflow has not changed. The adding of commands ‘Go to Next State ‘ and ‘Go to Previous State’ were added in the dropdown list of commands in the Advanced Actions dialog box. I would like to know why you find it simpler in CP2019 than in previous versions? Your example is just about switching images in the states, don’t know what has changed to it recently, and I have been blogging quite a lot about states.
There is a big difference between InBuilt states, which are available for interactive object and D&D objects, and the custom states.
When I use to use multi-state objects in captivate 8,9 the state view would open within the slide I was working on. But when I started using 2019 the state view would create a new slide under the slide I was working in. Does that make sense? I’m going to do a little research to make sure I’m using the correct language to explain. Thanks for the info I always appreciate your feedback.
I think you are confused because there are two ways to add states: either in the Properties panel, or by opening the Object State panel. I always used the second method, also in CP8 and CP9. Both methods are still available now. I think you learned to use the Object State panel later on. It is still annoying to me that the Exit State button is so far away, it should be available as a close panel button on the Object State panel, as is the case for all floating panels. I use the Expert UI, and have a lot of floating panels in my workspaces. But you can see such a panel: open Advanced Interaction (F9), the most useful panel to double-check scores. It is a floating panel. Look at the close button top right.
I just went into Captivate and followed your instructions and there is indeed two methods. You’re right, I simply learned the second method when I took Dr. Pooja’s course for 2019.
Appreciate your attitude a lot! Captivate has so many features, and so many different workflows. The Newbie UI you are probably using is not very encouraging to explore all the functionality. Just my personal opinion, too much is controlled by Captivate instead of by the developer.
