I originally created the Corner Peel Navigation Widget for Adobe Captivate 4 for fun but it turned out to be extremely popular. Actually it has been downloaded more than 4.000 times from my site so far so I decided to update it so it will work with Adobe Captivate 5 and 5.5
In reality it is not an Adobe Captivate Widget but a Flash animation, but it will work just as well.
The download package contains the FLA files and two published SWF’s. Insert the SWF’s in your project as animations and set them to display for rest of project. Once the user hovers over the corners they will animate similar to what you see in Flash based magazines. Clicking on the corner will navigate to the next or previous slide respectively.
The demonstration below is from Adobe Captivate 4 but it will work just like this in Adobe Captivate 5 and 5.5 as well.

Hi, I was wondering if there is an AS3 version that will work in Captivate 4 available please?
@ Loraine,
Have you tried this version in Captivate 4 projects? I’m not sure if it works or not to be honest, but it’s worth a try.

Yes, I have tried this version in Captivate 4 projects and it does not work. I had the Corner Peel for Captivate 4, AS2 version working perfectly, but due to other widgets needed in the elearning, I’m now having to publish at AS3 version. Thanks anyway.

Does anyone know how to change the ActionScript (or using any other method) to change the function of this button? From Flash Professional CS5, the relevant script reads:
function clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
mainmov.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
I’m guessing I can just change the last line to change the action, but I don’t know the command to do so, or where to find it. I want to make it jump to a specific slide, like you can do with normal buttons from within Captivate.
Thanks.
You can see a list of all the available Adobe Captivate System Variables that you can use here: https://www.cpguru.com/2010/07/20/adobe-captivate-5-system-variables/

That’s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much. One thing I’m still having trouble with though, is when I use that command:
cpCmndGotoSlide = 5
It always jumps to slide 9, regardless of what number I put in there. Am I using the wrong format?
An awesome widget / animation – looks so cool – thank you very much…….
You’re welcome Pete.

When will the corner peel widget be available for Captivate 6?
Hi Kat,
No I’m not planning on updating this widget unfortunately.
