After finally giving up on the Captivate playbars/TOC limitations (and ugliness), I'm trying to just create my own simple navigation.
In place of the TOC, my goal is to create a "Course Menu" that is a 'pop-up' via a group that consists of some text captions (one for each topic), a background image, and a smartshape button to close it. I then have a 'Menu' button (using a Smartshape) as part of the course navigation. So the intention is that whenever the user clicks the 'Menu' button, the 'Course Menu' group is shown. And then, within the Course Menu group there is a close button to hide it again. Should be simple, right?
I know this is possible by using an image as the close button because Adobe has a video showing how it's done. The one difference between the video tutorial and my approach is that I want to simply use a Smartshape as a close button.
I'm finding that whenever I have an action that tries to 'Show' a group that contains a SmartShape, it won't work. I know my script is correct because it works fine if I simply replace the group with an image of the same name/ID.
I guess I can work around this by just creating an image button and using that, but geez...
