Captivate

My company is migrating to a new LMS, which means we're changing the domain where our content is stored. To use Adobe Fonts, you have to specify the domain. I'm sure you can see what I'm facing -- we potentially have to open thousands of pieces of content, just to modify the domain names.  I thought I could write a script that would modify the published ZIP output (like maybe CPM.js) but I can't find where the domain information is stored in the published files.   What I tried: Created a Captivate file and set up a variable myVar = helloAdded %%myVar%% to the slide.Changed the font for the variable text to an Adobe font (Sundowner)Published the file, and used my personal domain (*.sharonh.com) as the domain for the Adobe fonts. After publish, I used a text utility to search the published files for sharonh.com as a fuzzy match, so it would find any instance of "sharonh" I can't think of what else to try.  I'm starting to think maybe this info

Hi I wondered if anyone had any information on when the next update of the new Captivate is planned for release? I train Captivate and have potential clients asking me this question as they want to schedule the training after the next update is released.Many thanks for any facts/thoughts/guessesRegardsM

Hi,    I've just downloaded Capitivate on the free trial so I can try uploading a powerpoint I had previously prepared to turn it into a scorm file. However, there is no option to import from Powerpoint. It will only allow me to upload word documents! When I try from the buttons it also has no option from Powerpoint.   Please help!  

Is the Captivate trial limited? I don't see an actions panel or a way to add shapes, for example. I feel like I'm missing essential parts.

I created a project that I wanted to host on Thinkific. According to their website they support Adobe Captivate so long as it is not a SCORM file. Okay, I created and exported as html5 and recieved an error. After weeks of back and forth with their customer support they finally mentioned that the reason i'm getting an arror is because they don't support .svg files... Is there any way to remove those from the project? They appear to be default on any new project because I tried making a blank document and even that had .svg files in it! 

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone is having issues in the their LMS with a delay in how their courses are launching. I have two new courses that we're created in the new version of Captivate and when a user selects to launch from the LMS, there is anywhere from a 15 sec to 60 sec delay. A blank screen displays, then eventually the course loads. The course behaves as it should once available, but it takes a long time to load. We've never had this issue with our LMS loading courses before? I have tested in SCORM Cloud and they behave the same there, so my assumption is it's with the file? I thought maybe the size, but I have much larger files (video heavy) created in Captivate Classic, that have zero delay when launching. I've also tried to publish in both 1.2 and 2004 with no change.   Anyone else having this issue? Any thoughts as to why?  Thanks! 

Hallo Zusammen,kennt jemand das Problem? E-Learning wurde im LMS veröffentlicht, gestartet, kurz abgebrochen und wieder neu gestartet (also mit dem Lernen fortgefahren). Anschließend erscheinen, wie auf dem Bild zu sehen, überall "Nullen". Im Menu selbst, in der Überschrift.... Hat hier jemand eine Idee, woran es liegen könnte? Wurde mit Captivate classic erstellt. Danke für Eure Hilfe / Ideen.

Hello, could someone help me with this problem? After i build a Quiz and published to Scrom1.2 and open it in our LM-System. I can't finish the quiz after a few questions. I'm not able anymore to klick Answer in the following questions. Has someone the same problemes ?  Thanks alot 

Good morning, I'm publishing my first mini-course using Captivate 12.2. I'm not using an LMS. It's a short training for a company I work at.I publish it and then test it on my local machine - it works great. I upload the files to my web host using FileZilla, and then navigate to the proper index.html page. All I see is a blank screen, and the title of the training in the tab. I tried using the latest version of Firefox, and the latest version of Chrome. I tried talking to my shared web hosting service, which is HostGator. The support representative kept asking me about requirements, which as far as I know there aren't any. Everyone with a web browser should be able to see this training. I don't know what other requirements they would be talking about. The HostGator representative seemed to barely understand my language, (English), and asked me several times for information that I provided in the beginning of the chat, and then they cut the chat entirely when they go

Hi all,  I am using CpC (captivate x64/captivate classic) and have been trying to preview and publish an interactive video. No. of slides: 2 slide 1 has a  video with buttons and a layover question added to it. slide 2 is the question that needs to pop up. When trying to preview with HTML5 browser, receiving an error stating "Publish Failed". Same error for all other preview options as well.  NOTE: I initially has low disc space due to which this wasn't getting published. I've now freed up some space from my C drvie and yet I am getting the same error. Can anyone help or guide me here?

Hi. I tried searching the web to no avail, I'm new to captivate, never used the classic one. Is there any way to add a button that rewinds 10 seconds for the published course? Or a progress bar for scrubbing? Or basically anything so a user doesnt have to restart a whole slide in case they want to double-check or misheard something.

I am hoping someone in the community can help me out as I have been fighting this for a while now. I have a custom quiz that in the remediation page displays all the user inputed answers through their assigned variable. The on screen functions of this work perfectly, but when I review the slide with a screen reader the ARIA label for each of these items is only reading the variable name not the variable value. So for instance it will say "dollar sign dollar sign variable dollar sign dollar sign" instead of "Red". I have seen another post with someone asking a similar question and someone provided a sample project that seems to have fixed this issue, but they have not provided any information on how they accomplished this. I have even tried contacting the OP of that sample and no response.  This is really detrimental to my project and there is really no other way to gather and display this information beyond what I have programmed already.  I am a serious beginn

I am trying to create a scenario between two characters. I have successfully created multi-state objects to swap out the characters images, names, and titles with interactions and bookmarks on the timeline. I have recorded the voiceovers and paused the timeline to allow the conversation to complete and then resume the slide timeline. All that works perfectly. EXCEPT that there appears to be no way to caption that conversational interlude. I know this was a limitation back in Captivate Classic. We dealt with that by having EVERY word spoken also written on the screen. With the limited layout options of Captivate 12 in service of responsive design, we are trying desperately to move away from all of that text (in addition to it just being bad design). I've tried importing the audio into Premiere pro, making a caption video out of it and then inserting the caption video below the conversation, but I CANNOT choose Video from the interaction panel; only Audio. I've tried insertng the ca

Good day,I'm working from a how-to book. I created a string variable called learnerName, set up a slide where the user typed the value for this variable into a text box, and displayed what they typed in the next slide. Think, "Hello, $$learnerName$$. Welcome to the course." I tried previewing it in my Firefox browser, (default for me), and I got the Something went wrong! error. No visual whatsoever. On a hunch, I tried it in Chrome and it worked perfectly. So, in the end, no real problem I suppose. Just wanted to write this down somewhere. Windows 11, Firefox 121.0.

My Captivate file has around 30 slides each with a video or image. I would like for a video playing in full screen mode to contine to show the Captivate tool bar that allows for the user to go back and forward to view other slides in full screen mode. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks! 

After watching a video once (forced w/ no play bar), I want the play bar to show during subsequent views. I created and assigned a variable "VideoWatched" and gave it a value of 1. I then created a condition, "if video is equal to a value of 1, show playbar." What am I missing?

Text box help: triggering sound off a single word in a text box to help students learn a foreign language. Does anyone know if that is possible in Captivate? Does anyone know how to trigger off a single word in a textbox for audio or a tooltip (for translation of a difficult word)? Thanks.  Ted.hildebrandt@gordon.edu

When creating a software simulation within an application, some screens display duplication on the mouse click. This could be the button/s being clicked or an area near the clicked button.This seems to have started since upgrading to version 11.8.2.254. Anyone have any advice please?

Hi, I have read a few posts trying to find a solution to this and most of them refer to an item being paused.  But I have gone through them line by line and there is no pause.  When it is played in preview it works fine. When previewed in HTML or published it does work. You have to press play after the recoding finishes for group 42 to play, then again for group 43 to play and then again for the next button to show.  Any thoughts?

I have had multiple projects in Adobe Captivate 2019 that fail to publish to my computer "all of the way," instead getting stuck at "Optimizing Content." Then, I cancel the publish and it appears all of the assets are there except for the index.html or scormindex. (I've tried to publish as both Html5 and SCORM separately).I've removed all transitions and checked my HTML tracker. I also ran the "CleanPreferencesWin.bat" and tried to run the project and save as the administrator with no luck.I then tried copying and pasting the first five slides into a new project and saving and publishing that way, no luck. Still gets stuck at Optimizing Content and the folders look like this (folder assets) below. I'm out of ideas here. My next step would be to uninstall and reinstall I'm guessing. Any ideas why it gets stuck and why some assets are published and others are not? 

I have a training module put together and everything is working fine but I discovered a bug that I can't fix. I am not sure if it is a problem with the quiz settings in the module, or a problem with our LMS, or a combination of the two. If the learner is in the middle of the final quiz (10 multiple choice questions), and they close the window exiting the module, when they go back to the module through the LMS, it will resume at question one, that was already answered (answers selected, things greyed out, nothing selectable), but there is no way to navigate past these questions to continue where they left off. So they are essentially stuck. On the screen there is a custom play pause button, which is set on the first slide of the module and carried through all slides, that if clicked repeatedly will make the answered questions slides advance one at a time until you return to where the quiz really left off. At this point it is possible continue normally, and everything works fin

We have a lesson with a swf file (we do not have the original files for this swf) that plays a Naval Battle game.Since we are transitioning to HTML5 we are in process of making changes. In this lesson one player calls out a number and a letter and the opposing player lets him/her know if was a hit or not. As this happens questions are asked and answered (in the screen). For instance, I ask you a question and if you do not answer it correctly, I will shot and you let me know if I hit one of your boats or not. I was looking and reading everything I found online about simulations in captivate (mine is  8  and so far I have no idea how should I do this simulation/game.Has anyone ever done anything similar?Can anyone give me some ideas on how to get this done?I appreciate it.Maggie.

I have created a team-based game show style quiz which includes a scoreboard. It's intended as a resource for our trainers to use in the classroom. Everything works as it should - the quizmaster navigates to a question slide and allocates points to the current team based on the answers they give him/her. In doing so, they navigate back to the scoreboard which is now updated with the appropriate number of points being added to the relevant team's total. I now want to be able to manually add or subtract points from a team's total. I've added buttons to the scoreboard slide to accomplish this, and they do work (clicking on the + symbol for the blue team increases their score by 1 etc). The problem is that the scoreboard totals don't update immediately - I have to navigate away from the scoreboard and then back again to see the new score. Is there a way of getting the displayed scores to update as and when they change, without having to leave the slide? Specif

I was tasked with learning Captivate and turning a powerpoint into a Captivate module for caregivers. So far not so bad, a minor issue I am having is learning how to do variables. I wanted to have code that displays the amount of answers the user got wrong. EG this line shows the number they got right:   $$Topic02$$ I have no idea what this means. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
