Creating custom playback controls
Users control Adobe Captivate projects with playback control buttons such as Play or Pause. These buttons allow
users to set the pace of the project as necessary.
For example, if a project contains step-by-step instructions, a Pause button lets users pause the project until they
have finished reading and processing the necessary information.
You select the playback control buttons that appear in a finished project. These buttons "float" in front of the
project in a specified location. Adobe Captivate contains numerous playback controls you can use in your projects;
however, you can also create custom playback control buttons.
You can create custom BMP or SWF playback controls.
