Captivate

Hello!!I am having an issue with the Drop down widget. I am trying to mimic a webpage and have my users actually choose the options and I was using the drop down widget to do that. However, when I go to preview my project now it says that it is not HTML 5 compatible. Since Flash is going away here in a few weeks why is that even an option? Also, does anyone have any ideas or alternatives? Thank you!!!!!!

In edit mode, I have set my slides to "fade" transition from slide to slide. When I preview the slides, the fade transition works fine.However, when I publish the slides, there is no fade (or any kind of) transition.Any thoughts as to what I am missing?

Hello Everyone! We are looking at using Captivate to create simulations for training. On the front-end we are using Windows 10. What is required on the back end (where you publish) to create web based viewing of simulations? Is it just a normal web server or do you need to use Adobe Connect? 

I've spent half of my afternoon scouring the internet to figure out how to do this, with no luck so far...I need to have a text entry box where the user is required to enter text before they can click the "submit" button.  Initially I tried to do this with a short answer question slide, where I could simply employ the "incomplete" caption, but the text entry needs to be multiple-line, and scrolling if necessary.  Short answer slides are not the answer.For a default text entry box, the "submit" button is clickable even if the box is empty. How do I (and is it even possilbe) set up a TEB requirement for something (anything) to be entered before the "submit" button is accessible?Thank you!! 

When i use some of the interactions my captivate project just shuts down?  Captivate also shuts down when I have been working on it the whole day and my laptop gets hot.  Why is this happening as I am losing work and am not sure whether it can be recovered.    

I keep getting a fatal error every time I try to publish to an exe in Captivate 2019.  I can open the project, view the project and preview but I cannot publish to an exe.  I was able to do it this morning, made a few small spelling changes and now it crashes every time.  What can I do?

Hello! I have a wierd question that I can't get resolved. I have many slides in my project that look fine in edit:But when i go to preview, It turns the text grey....They are not happy about it and I can't figure out why it's doing it...Has this happened to anyone before??? Thank you!!!!

Hallo everyone, anny Idea why these vertival lines in HTML exports of the project occurs?  Thx a lot...

Hi, I'm editing another developers captivate project file (.cptx) in Captivate 9, and when i look in the library there are a lot of images/ swf and audio that when i look at its usage - says its being used in the "(Project template)have looked through the whole file, and cannot find any of these slides in either the Filmstrip or the master slides... I would ideally like to clean this all up and delete things... but just wondering where on earth this is... I know you can create projects from templates and/or you can create a project template... but is there somewhere embedded within a project file where the project file seems to live/fit.  From my perusal it seems like this particular project file has been through a number of iterations and multiple authors and most of them just seem to keep leaving all the edits and legacy material inside the file. Making it really padded out. So my OCD just wants to clear it out.  Any thoughts as to why i might see this throughout? Than

HI!My team recently updated to 2019 Captivate and was excited about the new assets, especially updated slides and layouts.  I have downloaded the elearning assets extension and restarted Captivate, however when I go to assets, nothing is showing up.  Does anyone know if this won't work if you are connected to a network with firewall protection?  Any suggestions or troubleshooting would be great!  Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,I accidentally selected Audio>Record To>Slide Background. I meant to just select Slide. Is there a way to exit out of this window without Force Quiting Captivate? I have done a lot of work and haven't saved lately. Here is a screenshot of the window that popped up. I didn't want this at all.Please help!

Hello, I am wondering if video can be inserted into an overlay instead of a graphic or a quiz?  If so, how?  Thank you for any help you can provide.

I have created a small software simulation and am needing to publish it for viewing on an IOS or Android mobile device. The only "help" I could find said I needed to save as a responsive project before publishing. However, the options to publish do not give me any options for a viewable video format, only an HTML5 and that does not work for us. There is an option to publish as an app, but that again is not a workable option for us.  I am also attempting to save as a normal file and not as a responsive project but cannot find a way to do that. Is it possible to "Un-save" as a responsive? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I am working with a new template.  I recorded a software simulation demo.  When I reviewed, the simulation showed the mouse movement and text captions.  It did not show the screen I was demoing.  Instead, the slide (from a master) displayed. I tried opening a new file with no master slides or theme.  I was able to capture the entire demo.  I tried to import it into my original, but once again, the software I am demoing doesn't show, only the mouse action and captions. Any suggestions?    

I have the test version of captivate 2019, but unlike my peers, i can't open any document that was created by them. I can only open what i created.

This option does not exist in CP7, does anybody know how to stop it moving forward in the timeline as soon as i've dragged the first box in a drag and drop quiz for CP7?  

Is it still available for Captivate 2019 Release?

Hi, I'm using Captivate 2017 and have many projects where they link to subprojects (using the 'open URL or file, and then putting the published project in the callees folder, and selecting 'new' - so it opens in a new tab).  This has always worked perfectly and uploaded into our LMS perfectly.  It does now not seem to work, we have recently changed our UI in prepration for the flash leaving, (amongst other reasons).  When the main project is launched from the LMS it opens as a popout window.  When the sub-project opens from the main project, it  opens back on the LMS tab, so that when you close the subproject it closes the entire LMS, rather than just that tab?Suspect it may be an LMS setting... it works correctly when just launching locally (without the LMS).  Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem.thanks

Hi all. I need some help. I keep having this issue, I reach out to Adobe Captivate support, they fix it, and then a few days later, same issue! I try to launch Captivate and am hit with a message that certain theme files failed to open, that I should ty manually copying them and then launch. Only it doesnt work. Why do I keep having this issue? Support is closed today for some reason and unavailable to assist. Help? 

I'm trying to report {score} and the other standard variables from the Quiz Results page to our custom LMS by posting to an api endpoint, can anyone help? I assume by adding an Execute JavaScript action to On Enter of the Quiz Results page, like this?  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open("POST", endpoint, true); xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json'); xhr.send(JSON.stringify({ score: 'score', accuracy: 'percent' })); I'm trying to use SCORM, is this how it usually works or is there another method for reporting? How is the user identification usually handled?

I am fairly new at learning Animate. A total noob. But I have manage to create a few small eLearning animations for a few silly games requested by our ISDs. When I create something in Animate (HTML canvas, sized as neede 640x360 px, center stage and responsive set to BOTH, and OAM is tranparent. stage has transparent background) then import as an HTML animation in Captivate, I consistently get a top and left magin that pushes the animation outside of the right and bottom edge of the frame. Does anyone know if there is a setting or some code I can edit to correct this? Or at least why and how it is happening. It looks like there is some padding added. My coding abilites are weak but I have a coworker who programs that can help if needed. But first I have to help find out why it is happening. Also is it true, that an .ini change to the CP code will allow us to layer the OAM file below a static graphic? Currently it always appears on top when viewed and published from CP. I

I've added some of my own HTML elements to a course, this works fine when mobile gestures are off. But when they are on the elements cannot be clicked. I'm hoping to be able to turn this feature off for a specific slide if it's possible to get at that property.  This is the portion of CPM.js that is added when this feature is enabled, does anyone know how b.defaults.stop_browser_behavior can be changed by Javascript? (function (i, m) {  var b = function (a, c) {    return new b.Instance(a, c || {});  };  b.defaults = {    stop_browser_behavior: {      userSelect: "none",      touchAction: "none",      touchCallout: "none",      contentZooming: "none",     &

I have a course that starts off with a 360 video with multiple hotspots.  The hotspots allow the learner to access different slides.  The issue I'm having is that on computers with intergrated graphics cards, the computers tend to choke.  Here is what happens: The users computer accesses the 360 interaction, their GPU kicks in to let's say 50% as the hotspots appear.  They access one of the hotspots...GPU drops a little.  They return to the 360 interaction and their GPU now ramps up to as high as 60%.  They visist another slide and their GPU drops a little again.  They access the 360 interaction and their GPU climbs again beyond 60%.  Depending on the computer, at some point the GPu hits 100% and the CPU starts to throttle causing the course to choke and has to be reloaded in order to stop the computer from choking. My question, is there a way to offload the system resources of a project without reloading the project entirley?  I t

hello i am looking for adobe captivate download that is NOT a free trail. I already have an account as just want to download and sign in. i just cant find it anywhere on the net.thank you

Hi there,The 360 mode does not work for me (see attached). I have a similar problem to the one described here. I see that the person who posted the issue did not get a reply. Maybe someone has a similar experience?Other non-Captivate projects do work - I can see the Cardboard test projects, the Google 360 Street view works and also Expeditions work. But if I try Captivate exported project the 360 does not work. In browser all is ok. Tried with mine, used the bar code, all works until I click Enter VR. I tried this project from keypointlearn - same result - the image is frozen. What could be wrong?I am using Cardbaord - tried 2 samsung phones but have the same issue on an iPad too.Thanks in advance for your inputBobby
