Captivate

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.

Good day to everyone,I am using a newly installed version of Captivate 2019, and attempting to publish a lesson to HTML5, into a folder located on my desktop, part of the main drive of my computer.  However, during the publishing process, the system gets stuck in the Optimizing Content phase of publishing... and never completes the publishing and zipping of the file. At that time, it also slows down my computer from the state-of-the-art, fresh-out-of-the-box Core-I9 super highspeed laptop that it is, to something more resembling an i386, circa 1997.I have looked through the forums, and on Google, but I still have not been able to find an answer on how to fix this.  I would value any suggestions you amazing professionals might have on how to resolve this issue.Thank you!J.

I'm creating a quiz, but I can't seem to edit aspects of it, namely the gray bubble text and the logo. I've looked in the themes section, tried clicking directly on the text/gray bubble. I aslo went the themes section, I didn't see a setting for it.  

I have many quizes saved in captivate. They are in a custom template and contain text, buttons, and images.On saving and in some cases publishing the quizes (some but not all) will show blank if i re-open them to edit items. If i click where the text should be it will re-appear and i will have to go through each slide and click on every section that should show something for it to appear.I have cleared my cache, i have done updates, i have re-created from scratch but noting seems to be working.

Hi All,I'm working on Demo files in Captivate 11.8. We have a situation where the user's names have to be blurred on few slide which has type action.And the auto populate feature in the application for which we are creating the demo is very quick in showcasing the user names. So we find it difficult to add a patch for the video. Kindly guide me how to expedite this process as we have multiple slides which requires blurring user details. Thanks in advance!Regards,Pragadesh

I am using the new Captivate to create a training on ergonomics with knowledge checks throughout and a self-assessment at the end. For the self-assessment, I'm using graded questions so the results are sent to the LMS. I want there to be correct and incorrect messages on the knowledge checks, and that function is working as expected. However, I do not want the self-assessment to include correct or incorrect messages, as we are basically asking them if they have pain or are struggling to apply the guidelines we recommend in the training at their job. Is there a way to turn the correct and incorrect messages off for certain slides? If not, can anyone think of a workaround I could use?

Hello!  I'm a new user to Captivate having been a Storyline user for years.  My new role is for a company where they are using Macs and have Adobe licenses, so Captivate was the easiest choice for us to use for eLearning creation.I'm creating my first project in Captivate using v12, and have viewed tutorials for previous versions of Captivate where Variables were used to reveal the Next button on a slide after a user clicks all required objects on a slide.Unfortunately, those steps are not working in Captivate 12.On this slide in question, which I have named Table of Contents, I have used the Add Media Blocks function to add Images.  The user needs to click on each image before advancing. Because I needed 5 images, I had to add two Media Blocks.I will note that each image takes the user to a new slide when it's been clicked.  Then the user clicks a button to return to the Table of Contents, and the intent is that after the user has clicked on all 5 images the Next b

I misunderstook the "Shuffle Answers" option on quiz questions. I thought it would shuffle the answers on every presentation. I understand now that it only does that on retakes.As a result, I have hundreds of quiz slides in which the correct answer is always in the same place. Whoops! Is there any way to have Captivate shuffle them? Or do I need to manually change the order of the answers for all my questions. The quiz questions were all created manually (not using a pool or import.) Any way to make fixing my mistake easier? Thanks in advance! 🙂     (Captivate 2019.)
