In Adobe Captivate Classic, 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.
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 Classic 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.

Rollover Slidelet
Name

Action
Stick Slidelet

On Click
Define the action to take when the user clicks the rollover slidelet by selecting one of the options in the menu.
Shortcut
You can specify a keyboard shortcut for the mouse-click. Users can use the keyboard shortcut instead of using the mouse. For example, if you select Control+Shift+Enter as the keyboard shortcut for the mouse-click, the click is treated as correct (click within the box) when the users press this combination. If they press the wrong combination, it is treated as a click outside the box.
If your Adobe Captivate Classic project is displayed in a browser, set keyboard shortcuts that do not conflict with common browser shortcuts. For example, F1 is frequently used as a keyboard shortcut to display Help on Windows. The Control, Alt, and Shift keys map to the Control, Option, and Shift keys on Macintosh® computers, respectively.
