Captivate

Hey, We're trying to figure out if this is possible to do.Is it possible to have a Ajax call out of Captivate, and send data to a database for another Captivate project to use?I've used some internal javascript and jquery in Captivate, but I haven't tried to to have it call out to bring in data or send it out before.The idea is, that the Captivate courses will get used on Adobe Connect. The plan is to export them as ACII, so they can be view able in HTML instead of SWF.Hoping we'll be able to track the users' different scores from the different courses.

Hello Everyone!!! Just got a question, I hope you guys can help me out. I appreciate any answers!!! Thank you in advance.I have several servers (Windows 2008 and 2012) were IE 10 or 11 will not run the presentation. I just sis there and it just a swirl. Now the funny thing is on clients it works on IE, Firefox, and chrome. Has anyone had any issues with this? Thank you in advance!!

Has anyone seen this before?The state view button disappears on some objects, but not all. I still see the various states for the object in the advanced actions I created to change them, and they still work when I test. The only way I can edit the states is if I restart Captivate and clear cache before opening the project.  I've applied the update and still have the issue.Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hello! I'm curious if there's an optimal project size in Captivate 9 to use when presenting a course that will be displayed onto a large screen for a presentation. I built the course at 1280 x 720 with several different .mp4 videos embedded at that same size. It looks great on my Macbook, but I just want to make sure it will scale properly for the much larger screen. I'm using Captivate 9 and the course is a Blank course. Any suggestions on how I can ensure the best possible quality?Thanks in advance for all your help!

I've read through several threads trying to find a workaround or answer to this, but still can't get it figured out.I'm working on a course that will be HTML5 only, as it will only be taken on iPads. Note that I've chosen not to make it responsive because I only need one size. I'm running into issues with motion path effects when I preview in browser or publish and preview in the LMS. In this example, I have a PNG graphic that is supposed to move along a motion path to a few different points on the slide.The effect starts with no problem, but then the effect freezes, as does the timeline. I don't have any pauses in any of the objects (yet). I've also included the timeline. I'm used to publishing SWFs, so HTML5 is kind of new territory for me. Wondering if anyone knows of any settings to check, or any workarounds.Thanks in advance.

can anyone tell me how to use font awesome in captivate. I just can’t get it to work although its installed.

...Hello !...In a previous post, I said I managed to drag and rotate the same object, using JQuery's codes.But I still have problems as you can see in the example below with the dragging (the cursor doesn't stay in the middle of the drag object, and I didn't manage to put the drag object in the front... so it's still far from perfect... )http://soutien67.fr/math/activites/tangram/Tangram_03/index.html By the way, I also realized that I can't do this if there is an image behind the draggables ? (I don't know why ?!...)But now, the challenge is to do the same thing on mobile !!!...(I try to add the Jquery UI Touch Punch the same way I did with the others scripts but it seems to be more complicated ???...)Any help is welcome !...PS : I read there that TLCMediaDesign managed to do it !... It would be great to make a tutorial about this !......

Hello,I'm trying to export (or share, I guess) this project. However, every time I try to do so, the audio never makes the transition. The first time there was no sound, the second time there was a banshee screech (which I did not record) and then no sound. Every time after that, there's just been this electric clicking sound. This is even after rebooting the application as well as my computer.We recorded the audio with a plug-in desk mic, and all of the audio is available in edit mode. Just not when it's published Let me know if I'm missing some setting, or if there's anything I can do to fix this.Also, the Contact Us message box kept giving me an error when I tried send this message, so I tried to track down the support team's email address. After getting a hold of someone over the phone and getting an address out of them, I sent off all this information in a separate email...only to get an undeliverable message.  Trying to get help for this has been a real pain.Here's the addit

Is it possible to have an animation such as FadeZoomIn start from a corner of the object?  For example I'd like to have a speech bubble (text caption with a tail) grow from the lower left corner of the object bounding box rather than from the center.

I've tried updating my profile image several times and it displays in my profile, but not on comments/testimonial posts etc.  It's smaller than 8 MB and I've tried it as jpg and png, but it still just shows the white avatar instead of my image.  Any recommendations about what I need to do to fix it?

I'm interested in adding note-taking functionality to all my courses by default. I have a few questions about the Notes interaction for Captivate.1) The interaction as-is presents some serious usability problems, mainly the fact that if you click the X it actually deletes the note rather than just closes it, which is terrible design. Typically when you see a pop-up window with an X, you assume you are merely closing the pop-up, not necessarily deleting its contents. Could this be easily modified so that the interaction maintains all captured notes automatically through the entire course, ditching the Save icon and changing the X so that it merely toggles the notes pop-up closed without deleting its content?2) Has anyone successfully integrated the Notes interaction into a player skin? Ideally what I'd like to see is a Notes button somewhere on the skin that opens a notes pane that can be left open across multiple screens/slides and closed/reopened at any point while retaining all previ

Hallo. Since yesterday it is not posssible to open my Captivate 9. When I try to open it it shows a fatal error and wants to archive everything in a project file with the ending .cpbackup.Does anybody know how I can solve the prblem?Thank you.

If I write a while conditional action, does it only execute while I am on that particular slide?So if I have a while 1==1, increment var, will it only increment my var while I am on the slide from which the action was triggered? And not continue to increment during the whole project?  If so, why does it behave this way? While should be while the condition, not "until I leave this slide", no?Thanks, Lori

I have a slide with an on enter action. I've tried an advanced action and now for testing I just have it increment a variable.When I jump back to this slide from itself (i.e. I'm on slide 2 and I jump to slide 2 from a button via an advanced action), the slide rewinds to the beginning but does not run the onEnter behavior - it doesn't increment my variable.Why is this and does it make sense?I've tested in both CP9 and CP2017. Same behavior.Thanks, Lori

When you finish the quiz and review it, shouldn't it show quiz review captions? I have the option checked under quiz options, but it doesn't show the quiz review captions, just the markers to let you know whether you got them right or wrong.

Hi there,Thanks to some good posts here I managed to get learner comments from LMS with a SCORM 2004 piece.I have two TEBs and two respective variables. This is the code I usevar myVar_01 = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("varTEB_01");var myVar_02 = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("varTEB_02");SCORM2004_CallSetValue('cmi.comments_from_learner.0.comment', myVar_01);SCORM2004_CallSetValue('cmi.comments_from_learner.1.ccomment', myVar_02);So I get the comments in a console and also they are shown on the results slide of our LMS.Here is the screenshot of the metrics that are shown after the user closes the SCORM.Normally, if there are no comments there is no Comment entry. Now that there are some comments, I can see also the actual comments.So far so good.My question is. Is there a way to change the titles of the comments (in red in the image)?It may be something from the LMS, but maybe not...Thanks in advance.B

Hi All,First Post. I have added a text entry box to a slide to capture the learners name that I would like to have reported back to Adobe Connect when I run the reports.I have chosen Validate User Input, using varUserName as the variable. I want it to free text entry to capture the learners name. I have checked the Reporting  include in quiz checkbox and have used Advanced interactions.But when I view the report in the published project Adobe Connect shows nothing. Can anyone help please?

I'm developing a quiz for retail pricing practice.For example:  Participants are shown a picture of an item e.g. lawnmowerThey have to decide what the price of the lawnmower should be.There isn't anywhere to say a certain answer is worth so many points.  It only allows me to enter correct answers... but not the points they are awarded depending on their answer.I would like points to be awarded as follows:$250 = 3 points$225 - 249 = 2 points$200 - 224 = 1 pointI have it set up as a short answer question, but now I'm stuck.Do I have to list each individual price separately?$250 - 3 points249 = 2 points248 = 2 points247 = 2 points246 = 2 pointsetc. etc.  and if so, how do I set the points to be awarded?I hope you can help!ThanksAbs

I'm trying to help a client publish a very basic presentation. Just slides and a quiz.  It keeps crashing during publish, OR when the quiz comes up you can't click on it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've spent a ton of time trying and rebuilding. Its a single 5 question quiz with unlimited attempts on each question. It comes at the very end of the presentation. It shows all the feedback and won't let me I created the quiz by clicking Manage quiz, then click add question.

I'm working on a responsive project in Captivate 2017 and having some issues with a web object housing a youtube video URL appearing.I have the web object set to 'hide' with an on enter action for the slide and then a click box button that has an action to 'show' the web object. However when I clickthe click box, the web object does not appear.I originally had this slide set up the same way with a normal embedded video, but the embedded video is so slow on mobile devices, often times it won't appear at all. I thought maybe using a web object would help 'lighten' the file size and improve playback speeds.I have a couple of other objects set to 'show' upon clicking my click box as well, and they do appear like they are supposed to - it's only the web object that doesn't show up and it doesn't appear in preview mode or in the published project file.Any help/advice would be much appreciated.Here's a screenshot of my clickbox in the timeline and it's advanced action -And here's a screenshot

I just wanted to verify whether or not there is support for Presenter 11.1 and Office 365 before I try to install it.I see the tech specs say Office 2010, 2013, and 2016 but that is not necessarily conclusive that it will not work with 365.Thanks.

I feel like I've seen this issue addressed in the forum, but I can't find it - sorry if I'm duplicating something here!I love multistate objects in theory.  But in practice, I keep running into issues with alignment and wanted to see if anyone else had either of these and had figured out a fix. Example one:  I have text boxes within the multistate buttons (I HATE the way the text runs right up to the edges of a Smart Shape).  And because I want the items to line up well in a responsive environment, I have the multistate buttons anchored to the one in the center.  Alignment is great at each breakpoint, but the minute I move the slider, the text box is no longer centered on the SmartShape.  I'm now deleting the text boxes and just typing the text into the shape, but there are times when I want to have a picture or icon or something else in there - I just happened to have this open.Example 2 is probably caused by the same thing, but I thought I'd add it just in ca

Feel like this is probably something that's been asked before, but I want to check anyway.Audio starts playing when hitting a slide. I want to click a button on that slide that takes me to another slide to view information. On the second slide, I want to be able to jump back to the original slide, but without the original audio starting over from the beginning.Is there a way I can do this without creating basically a duplicate slide of the original that I can use as the "jump back to" slide, just without any audio? Thanks.

Good day,I am playing around with javascript in Captivate the same time I am learning the language in general.  Maybe not the best practice to help me learn the language, but I thought I'd get some relevant practice doing so.  I am looking for a bit of guideance in controling the visibility of smartshapes based upon variables in captivate.  Ultimately I am trying to provide a answer check my revealing correct answers indicators (smartshapes) to a non-widget check box interaction in Captivate using JavaScript. // I thought I could simply assign a varialbe with this code: //  (s1 = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue('cps1'));// Then run this function to hide a particular shape: //if ( s1 == '1' ) {cp.hide('s1')}Any help for a noob?Devin

HelloIt seems that I have an already identified problem concerning the disappearance of text in slides when I open a project. It reappears when I click on it. Surprinsigly they sometime are visible on the filmstrip window . If I don't click individually on them, there are also missing on the published project.I searched for answers about that problem but none of the already opened questions I found on the forum were resolved.Do you have any idea?Thank by AdvanceCorinne
