Captivate

I am using Captivate 9 and am wondering if anyone in the community would be able to help since I can't seem to find information on this anywhere. I am working on a project where kids will be able to enter their names. However, I would like to create a script that will prevent them from entering profanities. I know how to do it using Advanced Actions, however, since the list is pretty long, it would take me an eternity to code that. I have tried using Javascript, but for some reason, Captivate doesn't seem to execute my script despite using code made available by Adobe : https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/captivate/using/common-js-interface.html This is my code:window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue(“F_NAME”); if window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue(“F_NAME”=“butt”); window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue(“Profanity”,“1”); This is what I want it to do:get the value of variable "F_NAME" and if that value is "butt", set the value of variable "Profanity" to "1" thank y

I am having problems re-sizing buttons when placed on responsive grids. I know Captivate comes with auto-height and width options, but I can't find the way to use them on buttons, shapes, and text. The only two options I see when editing buttons is points and percentages. Can someone point me to the right direction?I changed the general preferences to autosize buttons and texts, but still buttons and shapes do not auto-resize.  Thanks

Initially thought this was a corrupted file, but any quiz slides, in any project created in Captivate 2019 do not render when viewed on an LMS.  Have tried two different LMSs Moodle and Oracle.  Other colleagues in my team can however see them and score correctly.   Any ideas why this may occur and what a solution may be would be appreciated.  Many thanks. 

Hello,I'm having a problem with sizing of text captions at different screen sizes in the generated preview of Responsive courses. I could not find an existing thread on this issue.I have the project at the default (1024x627) size for Desktop, and I'm also testing at the 768x627 size for iPad. My issue is:Text caption boxes are scaling incorrectly (becoming narrower than they should) when the screen is scaled using the top slider in the generated preview. I have attached a video showing an example slide with a Shape with text, an image, and a text caption below. This demonstrates:1. How the slide looks in Captivate's editor (the text caption works fine)2. How the slide looks in the generated preview (the text caption becomes narrower / smaller than it should when the screen size is made smaller — I am using Microsoft Edge here, however, I also tested this on Google Chrome and other browsers).  My observations:• Text within a Shape works fine—this problem does no

Good morning,I'm unable to open any of my previously created Captivate 4 files and get this message: "Adobe Captivate could not open ".cp" because of permission error." Nothing about my software or the files have changed in the 36 hours since I last opened and saved these files.Can someone help me troublehsoot?Thanks,Melissa

Hi allI am using a Learning Interaction in a module but when I publish it  to HTML5 and launch it the index page the slide with the learning interaction (eventually) shows blank. I have seen other posts relating to this that suggest uploading the project  to a server to test but this isn't an option for me. I need to share the module with colleagues by placing it on a networked drive and instructing them it launch the index page. Is there anything I can do in this environment to make the learning interaction show?Many thanks for any suggestions.

In a Cp 2019 (Mac) responsive project, is there a way to:write custom JavaScript functions in one placecall those functions from both Actions and code in web objects, ANDtest functionality of that custom JavaScript in a local preview (e.g. using Live Preview on Devices)?

Hello,I am trying to create a drag and drop Captivate 9 interaction where the end user not only has to choose the correct answer but also has to position it in a very specific spot.  In our manufacturing environment we have parts that are run through machines and the parts are controlled by rollers.  It is important for our end users to know which color roller to use in which situation as well as know the precise placement of the rollers.  What I am trying to create is a drag and drop where the end user not only has to pick the correct color roller (light blue in this case) but place it precisely across from the already installed roller.  The rollers are images and I am having trouble creating the interaction so that the user must place a specific part of the roller in a very specific place. The user needs to grab the light blue roller from the right and place it perpenticular to the white rectangle and while also lining it up directly across the other rol

Despite having the mouse object on my slide to appear after 6 seconds on the timeline, the mouse cursor is in view at the beginning of the slide.  This has long been a problem in Captivate.  Maybe I'm unaware, but is there a way to hide that cursor until the mouse should appear on the slide?  Thank you.

Recién inicio con esto de Captivate.Realicé un proyecto desde power point y le agregué audio y algunas formas en cierta parte de la presentación que incluyen flechas, recuadros, estrellas, etc.Al momento de revisar en Vista Previa el proyecto, todo se ve muy bien, y van a apreciendo en tiempo las formas y en la ubicación indicada; sin embargo, cuando lo publico (solo me da la opción de HTML), esas formas me aparecen todas más abajo de donde inicialmente las coloqué y de donde incluso de visualizan en la previa. ¿Qué podría estar generando eso' Se supone que así como muestra la Vista previa, así debería publicarse, ¿No? Les agradece infinito esta novata, Vista previa:Publicado: 

Hello I followed this tutorial on creating a custom survey with weighted answers:http://blog.lilybiri.com/graded-survey However, I am not getting a score on the LMS, and I wonder how I will be able to tell the LMS to read the custom results variable that was set up in the process? The slides are set to report the answers, and each have an interaction ID, and on the LMS I am informed that I "passed", but it says I have 0%, even though on the custom results page of the course, it showed I received +-65%.. Testing on SCORM Cloud also gives me a score of "unknown".. So it is not reading the results. Your assistance will be much appreciated!

Hi All Random question - but one I received from a client. Can icons be added alongside topics/page names in a Captivate generated TOC? They had sworn they could see it, but I've researched and cannot see a way this could happen. I don't mean expand/collapse icons - but for exampole chapter icons for each chapter or certain pages.

Has anyone used adobe captivate to to create an acknowledgment form after a training course? We have an annual course where our employees need ot fill in a conflict of interest discloure form (agreeing they don't have a conflict of interest, or if they do they need to fill in what the conflict is).   Trying to see if there is a form template or if anyone has suggestions on how to do this.    Thanks!

I'm trying to add some information to quiz takers when they select an answer to a multiple choice question that has a single answer (explaining why the answer they selected is wrong if they pick a wrong answer, and providing an explanation as to why it's right when they select the correct answer), but I do not have the Advanced Answer Options in the Properties tab (not the Quiz tab, I know it's not supposed to be there).Does anybody have any ideas?Thanks.

[Cp 2019 Mac]I have an animated gif with a custom state Visited, which is essentially the same gif in a different color. An advanced action on a button in the same slide changes the state of the gif to Visited, then opens a URL in a new window. When I preview my project (Preview > Live Preview on Devices) the advanced action works as expected, but if I navigate away from the slide and return to it, the gif has returned to its Normal state, even though its Retain State on Slide Revisit property is selected. On slides where my image states are comprised of pngs, Retain State on Slide Revisit is working as expected. Am I missing something? Can anyone confirm this behavior with animated gifs?

I am trying to create a single zip package for a SCORM 2004 LMS that rolls together multiple Captivate Projects. The course has multiple levels, in the following format:Course (contains three modules and a course exam) Module (contains about four lessons and a module exam)Lesson (contains a variable amount of topics)Topic (actual Captivate Projects) I've attempted to make this work through the Adobe Multi-SCO Packager. Creating lessons by using the Multiple SCOs template on the Topics. Modules by using the Simple Remediation template on the Lessons previously created by the Packager. Lastly, the Course by Simple Remediation template on the Modules created by the Packager.  When I actually load this to an LMS, only the last parts work. Going into the Course only allows me to access the Module 1-Post test, Module 2-Post Test, Module 3-Post Test, and Course Test. If I load a Module instead into the LMS, the lessons only brings up the last Topic in the package. It does
