BMP button naming conventions
Each button has two bitmaps: one bitmap showing the button in its normal Up state, and one
bitmap showing the button pushed down. The naming convention for these two bitmaps is as
follows:
•
style-playbuttonup.bmp
•
style-playbuttondown.bmp
The filename consists of the following elements:
•
Name of the playback control (“style”)
•
Hyphen (“-”)
•
Name of the button (“play”)
•
Either “buttonup” or “buttondown”
•
Bitmap file extension (“.bmp”)
To create custom BMP playback controls:
1.
Create new buttons using a graphics software package such as Fireworks or Adobe Photoshop.
Save the buttons as separate bitmap (BMP) images. Use the naming conventions outlined above
when you name and save your bitmap images.
2.
Create a bitmap that contains a preview image for the whole control and name the file “style-
preview.bmp.”
3.
Using Windows Explorer, place the bitmap images in the Adobe Captivate playback controls
folder located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
2\Gallery\PlaybackControls\BmpBars.
4.
Open your project in Adobe Captivate and add the BMP playback control to your project.
Note: Playback control buttons should all have the same width and height. If the images are not the
same size, they might not be displayed properly in the finished project.
