Captivate

I'm exploring Captivate and Captivate Classic to see if it will meet my needs. (I had to use Classic in order to import a Powerpoint presentation.) I have a pre-existing Fillable Form created in Acrobat Pro which contains javascript in one of the form fields. I would like to incorporate this form into an existing Captivate project while keeping my javascript formula intact. Is this possible? 

There is this where i need to perform some actions on reject of the interaction like showing some gif or sequence of images. Is possible do that or i need quit the captivate 😞

I've tried recording a software simulation as Training, Assessment and Demo and I am getting the same problem.  Once recorded, the pages and thumbnails on the left of Captivate are all blank, its not showing the software screenshots.  It does show the Captivate added e.g. "Select button" direction but there is nothing but white space.  When I preview the project, it shows as it should.  I've tried restarting and getting the same outcome over multiple days.  I am well used to the old version of Captivate.  Any ideas why its behaving like this and how to resolve? Its not actually usable right now. Screenshot below of my recording and one underneath is when its previewed ....   

Hello everyone, I'm using Captivate 2019 and am struggling to create an advanced action that does what I need. I hope that someone here who has more experience with advanced actions can help. Here is what I am trying to do: -establish a slide that will be like a "home" page, in the sense that the learner will return to it a few times throughout the training-on the home page, start by showing one image, which I will use as button-when the learner clicks the button, they are taken to a software simulation-at the end of the software simulation, they click a return button that jumps them back to the home page-when they return to the home page, the first button should show but now a second button should also show-the second button takes the learner through a second simulation; again, they return to the home page and a third button now displays My buttons are not displaying when I return to the home page after a simulation. Can anyone help me understand how the script should b

Anyone experiencing strange behaviour with animations? I have attached a video showing what happens. When animating text, one line at a time, a problem occures where the animation delay time gets doubled. This is how to replicate the problem:1. Animate a line or two of text. Delay the animation by a few seconds.2. Enter the slide and the timing will be perfect.3. Move to the next slide, or go back a slide, end re-enter the slide with the animation again. You must do this before the slide (next or back) you navigated to ends.4. When returning to the slide, the delay of the animation has doubled. Please will someone test this and get back to me. I have tested it on several machines and have the same problem.

Can someone help with how to move around a button added to a blank slide to any corner of the slide as required? Drag and Drop does not work and can't seem to find any other option to do this. Am I missing something?   

Trying to load a PPT preentation into Captivate and continously getting a corrupt or using old version. Check the version and updates and they are current. Please see images provided for a clearer understanding of my issue. Thank you!

I'm using Adobe Captivate 12 and have a Table of Contents slide that serves as a branching one.  Users click the image blocks to visit other slides, then return to the Table of Contents.  Once all images are clicked, the Next button populates and the user can advance.Currently the images remain in the "Normal" state when the slide is revisited.  I am using variables to get the Next button to populate, so I was trying to use those same variables to change the state of the images to "Visited" after the user has already clicked on them.I don't see any way to do this in the Slide Interactions or Object Interactions. Has anyone figured out how to do this?  

Hi All, Really stuck here and hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction.I have created a responsive HTML page which I have added as a web object to my Captivate project.  What I would like to do is call the Captivate JavaScript functions window.cpAPIInterface.....; from my HTML web object to advance the project to the next slide. This may sound unconventional but i am looking to give my project to look and feel of a website so i would have separate HTML web objects on each slide that would be linked through the Javascript calls, allowing the normal tracking of any Captivate project.Thanks

I am using Captivate Classic Version 11.8.3.8 on a Windows PC and recently the project file crashes regularly creating corrupted files (about once a week). I developed a habit of saving the poject as a new file everytime I am working on it so I am not losing too much work but for some reason, a crash leads to almost all previously saved files to be corrupted as well even though I was able to open them before. Moreover, the project is quite large (700 slides, 600MB) and simple copying/duplicating actions can take up to 10 minutes, seriously slowing down the workflow.I'd greatly appreciate some ideas what might cause that - is the project simply too large or could there be other issues with the program itself? Thanks!

HiThe height limit for a project in Captivate Classic is set to 3200.I wonder if its a way to increse this. Change a systemfile or something like that.This is not a thread where we discuss why, or talk about the weird offspring called All new captivate.Simply, is their a way to go beyond the project size limit in Captivate Classic

Hi everyone.  I am trying to add some character poses to my Adobe 12 project.  For some reason each of the characters (29) is saying they have 0 poses.  I saw them a couple of weeks ago, but for some reason they are not available to use at all.  My first thought was that the folder they live in was moved or corrupted or something, but I am unable to find the folder that the assets live in.  I don't know if the install is corrupted or something, but I'm kind of stuck until I can correct this.Any help someone can provide would be very appreciated. Thanks

Hola, a todos y muchas gracias por la ayuda. Tengo Captivate 2019 y solo he realizado un proyecto hasta ahora y ha sido un infierno. No funciona la tecla de los acentos cuando se escribe en Captivate directamente. Si funciona por ejemplo en la pantallita de Ortografía pero no en el resto. Cuando la pulsas y luego pulsas la vocal no pasa nada. Es como si no la reconociera en ese momento en concreto. He cambiado los teclados de Mac, he instalado la última versión y nada .... Alguien sabe como solucionarlo? El tema es que la productividad es nefasta por que tengo que escribir todo en la palabra y pegarlo en cautivar y cada modificación hacerlo lo mismo. Lo que debería tardar 1 minuto son 5. Alguien lo ha resultado porque en el servicio técnico me están dando, cada vez que abro una incidencia me la cierran a los tres días sin darme largas respuesta.  Si lo se me voy a Articulate.

I am using adobe Classic (2019).  I search the community but I couldn't find a written script that I can copy to my course. Could someone please help me by writing a javascript that will close the course due to inactivity after some seconds while keeping their progress saved and a certain message as a pop up once the course is closed like "you course is closed due to inactivity". I am new to Captivate and have no experience in JS. Course will be published in SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004. Please also advise if JS needs to be added to each slide as an advance action or on just one slide and it will work for the whole course.

Let's try this one last time. Two projects. One created from the CP healthcare template with buttons, images, text to speech etc. One created from a blank project. Both play fine locally on my PC. Both of these are housed in a publicly available Instructure Canvas site. The one from the Healthcare template plays with the buttons and audio if I am logged into Canvas AND when I am accessing it publicly. The one I created from a blank project only plays locally on my PC or when I am logged it Canvas. When I remove my manually inserted back and next button from the project I created from a blank project, it then works either way.. Why would one project with the same features play fine and another not play and why would the buttons keep it from playing? After many years of using Captive I would rather not revert back to PowerPoint or switch to Storyline. Please advise!!

I hope this is the correct location for this post. I created a Captivate Classic project that includes images, text, and audio narration using the text to speech tool. I published it as html 5 and uploaded it to a publicly available Canvas site. If I am logged into Canvas, it plays fine. From outside it partially loads the first “slide” and then I receive the loading message and it never loads. That being said, I uploaded the healthcare template that comes with Captivate. I added some text to speech audio and it plays fine from the same Canvas site. It plays when logged in AND when I am not logged in to Canvas as it should since the Canvas site is public.   MP4s etc also play for individuals who are not logged into the public  Canvas site so it isn't a Canvas issue. The Healthcare template plays fine on my Windows  machine, Mac, and phone and even plays the text to speech but not the project I created without a template. Please advise.

I recently upgraded to 12.4 and I am no longer able to delete image blocks in a  project previously created in 12.3. Clicking on the image and pressing the delete key does not do it. Selection the item in the timeline and pressing delete does not work either. Any ideas as to why?

I cannot find the Question Properties. The Help video said to go to Visual Properties > Alignment and Spacing as it should be there. Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

When I open the softwarte and click to create a new project it gets stuck with a spinning load wheel. I have to force close the software. ONly way I've been able to start a new course is to open an old course and save as a new project. Any idea why it is behaving this way?

I've no real experience in using variables or advanced actions.Alternatively, can someone signpost me to any help videos.Many thanks in advanceAlso still looking for any widgets to help with thisI"m using 2019 Captivate.

Whenever I try to do cmd + anything (undo, redo, group select, select all...) it plays that "dok!" sound effect you typically only hear if you attempt an invalid function in other apps.  This is NOT about disabling a sound when someone plays my file.This is about the Captivate Classic app/software itself making the sound when I, as the developer, try to use keyboard shortcuts.  Please answer this if you have experienced this with your MacBook and have managed to make this stop. If you do not use a Mac and do not know of this problem, please do not feel pressured to reply here. Thank you.
