@tomaszg42093314 I use Roboto as well - Arial one point size smaller than the Roboto works well for the blocks containing variables.

it's hard to tell without seeing the timelines and any actions that are involved. Are you sure nothing got changed to a "continue" in an action during the upgrade from CP8 to 10? Check everywhere - any action triggered by your master slide buttons, on the slides themselves, etc.

If you want your learners to take time and think, it is better to have a NEXT button for the learner to click when ready to continue. Relying on automatic slide transitions will be too fast for some, too slow for others. Let the learner decide when to move on.

You could always add a text caption to the popup group that simulates CC, as long as the text fits completely inside the caption.

I always use a standard web font (Arial, for example) for captions that include a variable instead of hoping all will be rendered perfectly on the learner's machine. At least that way the entire block of text will look the same, even if it's slightly different from other text blocks.

FTP is the way to go unless you have direct access to the web server through your network. There are lots of free FTP clients out there, including plugins to browsers.

Mariat - As LIlybiri says, all interactive objects can be made to report to a quiz score. They also can store values in variables. SCORM2004 has lots of data space to store variable values - your trick will be to pull that out and do your analysis. As long as the interactions you're using, including fill-in-the-blank and short answer fields, are saving user input to variables you can pull that data. You can set up the Captivate slide to store the data without a Submit button. The way your LMS stores all of that will determine how you retrieve what you want. Talk to your LMS people - they'll be able to tell you how things stand on their side, then you'll have a better idea of what you need to do to get your data. You may have to get into cmi.suspend_data

Unless you really need a quiz slide, you will probably be better off using a non-quiz (normal) or knowledge check slide. You can then make your own Submit button that does what you want. Custom slides can still report their scores to the quiz but bypass all the built-in code that quiz slides have in the background. Since you're using SCORM2004 you have tons of variable reporting space on the LMS and should be able to get back all the interaction data you need.

Rod is correct. If a clickbox is NOT set to infinite attempts, then the last attempt (failure in Captivate-speak) will cause some other action to happen. If you do not want to use infinite attempts, set the Last Attempt to No action (last in the dropdown list). The result will be the same.

I think the problem is that all the incorrect clickboxes are set to pause until the user clicks, so nothing will happen until they are all clicked. The only one that should pause is the correct clickbox - the system will wait until that one is clicked, then move on as long as there are no other pauses.

You'll need an advanced action that takes the value entered in the text entry box (TEB) and jumps to the desired slide. TEBs are associated automatically with variables that are assigned when you create the TEB. The advanced action is associated with the TEB and is triggered by clicking the SUBMIT button that appears automatically. Be careful, though: the command to go to a slide numbers all slides starting with zero, so you first have to subtract 1 from the number the user enters. So, if your TEB variable is something like TEB_1 (or whatever you change it to when you create the TEB), the advanced action would read: Decrement TEB_1 by 1 Assign cpCmndGotoSlide with TEB_1

Sounds like your system is putting a file lock on the open (visible) location - like trying to save a file in an editor when the same file is open in a viewer or other application. Good you found such an easy fix, though.

Or put a clickbox on top of a non-button shape. Of course, you'll lose the mouseover state this way. And not be able to do it in a fluid box.

I believe the dates are displayed as per your system settings, but the other items in the properties and library windows are set by Captivate defaults. Any other ideas?

Not a basic question at all. First, be aware that hover (rollover or mouseover) is not detected on mobile devices (phones and tablets). It is only useful if you know that your learners will be using computers. Mobile devices need to use clicks (taps) to trigger actions. Flash (publishing as SWF) is necessary if you use the old rollover objects, but flash is going extinct soon, even on computers. It is better to stay with HTML-friendly projects. You will have to do some javascript to make this work with rollovers in HTML, using event listeners to detect the mouseover and mouseout events and trigger the respective actions. How confident are you with javascript? If you use clicks, all your desired functionality is possible without javascript, using advanced/shared actions.

When testing in a local environment or a test server that is not an LMS, just expect that warning and click "cancel". The course should run normally for testing purposes.

I second Paul's suggestion that the On Exit action may not be triggered. On Exit only runs if the last frame of the slide has been reached. If a user navigates away from the slide before that last frame, the action will not run. It is always safer to run actions On Enter or on a button (or other interaction) that is required for the learner to use.

The default variable display length is 50 characters. Change the Maximum length to the number of characters needed (max 250, I believe). This length setting is only available when inserting a variable, however, so you will probably have to delete your variable placeholders from the text boxes and re-insert them.

If you have a programmer handy you can set up a mySQL database on the server and write some JS with PHP to send the student name, ID, and quiz scores to the database. Failing that, I agree with @alfredmack

The LMS takes the user's registered name and ID and populates a variable in Captivate which you can access (cpQuizInfoStudentName, cpQuizInfoStudentID). You can also have the student type a name into a text entry box and save that to a variable.

You have to open the cptx file in Captivate, go to the KC slide, and edit directly there. Be aware that, if you open, edit and save the file in a version after CP9, it will no longer be editable in CP9 - you'll have to use the later version for all future edits.

As far as I know there is no way to view all correct answers in a report. You probably will have to view the settings for each KC individually to see which answers are marked as correct. This is easier in a standard format like MCQ - any custom questions built on advanced actions will take more investigation.

Tricky! But wouldn't work if the ghost course taker is the one who answers the security questions. If security questions could be imported from a place where only the true learner had access long before starting the course, this could be very valuable. People will always try to find ways to cheat or get out of things they don't want to do.... I imagine a security question database could be set up and the contents downloaded to the course on the fly via JS and GIFT, but that's beyond where I want to look at the moment.

Slide 2 sounds complex with all of those states for so many objects. It would be helpful if you could provide a screenshot of your actions and layouts. My first impression without seeing your setup is that it might be easier to have only 6 states per object on slide 2 if the purpose is to list which sources have ended up on which targets. I'm also intrigued with the checking of states on slide 2 before allowing a change of state. This ordinarily requires JS to get the current state - is this how you're doing it? If sources are re-draggable and slide 2 has just one object per source instead of 57 objects, I wouldn't think checking a slide 2 state should be necessary. Again, I'm only guessing at your intent.

It's always better to avoid OnExit actions. They do not always work the way we would expect, since they are only fired if the slide reaches its last frame (Lilybiri has much to say about timelines, frames, actions ...). Much better to do the variable resets OnEnter. Since this will be repeated on lots of slides, these look like good candidates for a shared actions!
