Actions - can't find actions, is there an advanced action menu?

What are you trying to put the action on?

Oh, sorry, I'm not sure about what objects have what triggers or what publishing mode you have to be in to see them. If you want to use some JavaScript to insert a double click event listener on a certain page then add a run JavaScript on the show of the page with the following:

document.getElementById('shapeXXX').addEventListener('dblclick', function(){
/* do your code here */
});

Replace the shapeXXX with your transparent hot spot shape HTML Name. Reply if you need further assistance with the code and I or someone else here will surely help you out.

 

 

If you use a hot spot question you won't be able to use double clicking.  The answers are considered form objects that you can only select and deselect.  You could however fake the question by using transparent buttons which do support double clicking.

The double-click trigger has been available until Lectora v11 (i don't know if it existed in v12) for actions on buttons, images and shapes. It has only ever worked when publishing to formats using the Lectora Viewer (CD / EXE), not when publishing to be viewed in a browser (I thought browsers don't support double-clicks).

To create a double-click you can use Darrels code or Jennies approach by placing a transparent button over your hotspot. Add two actions to the button:

1.

On: Click
Action: Hide
Target: This object

2.

On: Hide
Action: Show
Target: This object
Delay: 0.5 sec

This way the real hotspot can only be clicked during the .5 seconds while the transparent button is hidden.

Other triggers only exist for certain objects:

Some triggers are only available for actions added to the page itself:

On: Keystroke (It's not possible to press [Enter] for an image only ;-)
On: Any key

On: Device rotation
On: Screen Swipe Left
On: Screen Swipe Right
Why not add "Up" and "Down"?

On: Timed Interval

Some triggers are only available for actions on certain objects:

On: Done playing
Only available for videos and audios, i.e. for "playable" objects.

On: Select / Change
Only available for form objects that can be selected, e.g. radio buttons, checkboxes, input field.

Thank you for this post. It was very helpful in my simulation!
