Rollover slidelets

In Adobe Captivate, a rollover slidelet is a space on a slide that displays an associated slidelet (a slide within a slide)
when the mouse is moved over the space. You can insert and display objects in the slidelet using the same procedure
as that for the slides.
For example, you can create a rollover slidelet for a state on a map so that the demographics of the state are displayed
when the mouse moves over it.
Note: You cannot create rollover slidelets on question slides or quiz review slides.
The following is further information about slidelets:
•
A slidelet is always linked to a rollover slidelet and is created along with the rollover slidelet.
•
You can insert most of the Adobe Captivate objects into a slidelet.
•
You can place more than one type of object into a slidelet. The objects become visible when the mouse is moved
over the rollover slidelet.
•
You can drag audio and movie files from the Library into a slidelet.
•
If a slidelet times out while an audio or movie file from the slide is running, the file stops running.
•
When a slidelet or any of its objects is selected, the displayed Timeline and the corresponding menu options for the
slide change to that for the slidelet.
•
Objects within a slidelet can be hidden or locked, but not the slidelet itself. To hide or lock a slidelet, hide or lock
the corresponding rollover slidelet from the slide Timeline.
• Slidelet objects cannot be dragged outside of the slidelet boundaries.
• When a slidelet is deleted, its associated objects are also deleted, and the Timeline reverts to the slide Timeline.
• Clicking an area outside the slidelet, or on the Filmstrip, reverts the Timeline to that for the corresponding slide.
