Captivate

A button that I'd covered with an image still caused the cursor to change to a hand and still responded to a mouse click. I believe that in HTML it's normal/expected that a mouse click event on one element doesn't bubble/capture to a separate element unless those elements are nested. I doubt Captivate nests a DIV within an IMG so I guess Captivate is doing something with Canvases or tracking the click coordinates instead of the targets to (in my opinion) decrease usability.I find the behaviour confusing. Does anyone know why it works like that?

Liebe Community, ich suche nach Tastenkombinationen um in Captivate produzierte Scorm-Dateien benutzen zu können aus Sicht des Lerners/Users. Welche Tastenkombination beispielsweise für "Weiter" oder auch für die Beantwortung von Quizfragen - vor allem für Blinde Menschen. Die für Erstellung von CP PRojekten kenne ich schon - bringt mich aber nicht weiter. Danke

Hello everyone, Has anyone had any issues with picture not changing states? I've set a few pictures to change to greyscale when clicked and some do change while others do not. Any tips on solving this?

Hi All,I'm working on a course module and we have a requirement to remove the pause functionality on quiz slides and controll the slide timing after submitting the answer (showing a feedback for 2-3 seconds).Kindly help me find a solution for this scenario. Thanks in advance!

Hi, my Captivate 2019 is so slow when I am in template! It take forever juste to move an item! Do you know why and what I can do?  I have already try to clear the cache project. I pass to many time in my template juste because it's incredibly slow.  Thanks!

Hello, When I preview my training, the table of contents works fine, going through slides works fine. Everything is good to go; however, when I publish, it skips to the graded quiz at the end; when using the TOC, it skips around; knowledge check slides are generating a Quiz result after them; some slides aren't showing up.Nothing seems to be going correctly for publishing, and I can't understand why.  Any help would be appreciated.

Each quiz question seems to require the response to be clicked twice before it can be submitted. The first click highlights the response but doesn't actually select the response; the second click actually chooses the button next to the desired response. Is this normal or do I have something set incorrectly? I've included screens and timeline shots. Thanks for your help!

Is it possible to remove the TOC button in the playbar while keeping the expand/collapse buttons (Overlay)?

Hi, I'm using the new Captivate 2023 and I want to insert an image into a block of a slide without it being cropped. Also, to be able to add text blocks both above and below the image. This seems like it should be simple and straight forward but any help would be gratey appreciated!  For it to look something like this:  

Big no no... can't even add a company logo without hard printing it on a background image ? basic functions are missing, I love all the features and the concept but in the state that it is right now it is useless to me. Also text is not centering on different screen sizes, it sticks to the left side.  Might check back in a year or two

If you try to put an icon in a timeline it loads rotated 90 degrees to the side. There isn't a way to up the flip vertical/horizontal to get it upright.

Hello,    As a computer science/Advanced Physics Lecturer, I was wondering if Captivate 2023 comes with a math equation editor or way to use LaTeX or something similar? ~Dr. Jaime Ann McQueen

Hello, after the upload to our LMS and an initial start of the eLearning an error occures that a connection to www.adobe.com  was declined. How can I fix this problem? Thank you for your help

I have a quiz that allows for 2 attempts. So, I need the Retake Quiz button to show if they fail. I would love it if the Continue button only appeared if they pass or if they fail after their 2nd attempt. Once they pass, I want them to continue to the next slide to congratulate them. If they fail after the 2nd attempt, I want it to jump to another slide to say that they need to talk to their manager. Both of these are attached to the Continue button. However, both the Retake and Continue button appear when they fail and I highly expect learners to hit Continue rather than Retake and it will take them to the final fail slide. In searching through community answers, it seems like the previous solution was to hide the Continue button under the Retake button. However, that is not an option in the All-new Captivate. Does anyone have a solution for this? Help is greatly appreciated!

Hey GangIs anyone using whiteboard animations in conjunction with captivate? For example, learning content in whiteboard animation and quiz in captivate. If so, which tools are you using for whiteboard animations?Thanks

Running into an accessibility issue with a narration for visually impaired slowing down the speed at which sighted users can go through a presentation. Can the audio file be disabled via an Advanced Action, or other mechanism that would allow a presentation to proceed at a faster pace by using a NEXT button to go to the next slide? I am thinking here primarily of speeding up the way quizzes are viewed and responded to. [And yes, the VO is AI-generated, so I am seeing if speeding up the AI VO resolves the complaints, so this question is kinda academic, kinda not.] Thx! Don

A the title says. Is this not possible in all new..?I customer sendt me a course made in all new...(thank you for nothing adobe!!)Now, this simple task as export it to video seems to be impossible. All I can find is to export as HTML or DOC?

I get only blank slides (mostly) when recording Demo video. There are only mouse paths, captions,... but no screenshots of the application I am working on.(Only on every about 10th slide I got some picture of application I worked with) My PC configuration: i7-5930K, 80 GB RAM, AMD Radeon R9 200 (VRAM 2 GB), Windows 10.Adobe Captivate is the newest version, just downloaded and installed few days before.Working about 10 years with Captivate. Constant frustration with some/many malfunctions. It took a few hours to install, constantly I got the package that was installed only by message but not really.When I installed the packet for all and not for me, it finally works or better said starts but is not fully workable.I need Captivate 99% for Demo projects (for now) and that option doesn't work.I am angry, frustrated, helpless.I cannot believe that this product comes from the same firm(Adobe) that has something perfect as CC (PS,AI,IN,LR,...) that I pay and use many, many year

Hi, I have created a number of captivate training modules which all work fine in Preview HTML.  I Publish to Computer, upload to SCORM send them out for pilot and they all work fine.  But, to get them uploaded onto our LMS my L&D team ask for me to upload the Zip folder to a shared area so they can 'extract all' and open the 'index_scorm.html' file for them to view it before they upload it.  This has been fine for the first few modules I sent over to them but the latest one plays the voice overs but not all of the graphics, writing etc. After you click ok to the error about not being connected to the API etc, it goes into a 'Loading' Square circle thing and then loads corrupted.  None of the others do this and they all have the same publishing specs.  I am currently going through it slide by slide hiding slides and republishing to see if there is an error on one of the slides that is causing this.  Has anyone had this issue before?  Cheers Mi

How do I prevent the default blurring of an underlying video whenever an overlay slide is introduced? Also, the opacity setting for the overlay slide background doesn't seem to work. I'd like to set opacity to 0% and entirely remove the overlay background. And also set the clickable buttons/shapes to 0% opacity so that the user just interacts directly with unblurred video content. Thanks.Richard

All New Adobe Captivate. In a branching slide with 3 buttons. Is it possible to mute the slide audio on revisit? and after all the branching buttons are clicked is it possible to play a audio 'End of course' inserted in to a smartshape as well as show the object in which the End of course audio is inserted. Thank you,

Does anyone have a fix or workaround to be able to use interactive buttons (next slide button) after adding a video block/grid to a course? I know it works with slide videos but I need to add multiple videos to a course design. I've tried different options and workarounds and nothing works the moment I play any one of the videos in the grid. Any ideas from this creative community?

I have a strange issue, the captivate slide is not jumping automatically to the next slide. I haven't put any action, by default it should jump to the next slide. It jumps to a slide then repeats playing the the slide twice and then its just a blank screen. Its not playing the video uploaded in the next slide. Can anyone please help

I only see three sample presentations  no other pre-done templates

Hi! I am using the new Adobe Captivate. I am new to Adobe Captivate, so I am still learning. I have a slide that includes a dropdown menu. I would like to hide the button upon entry on a slide until the user visits each drop-down item, and then it appears for them to move on to the next slide. Can someone help me with this? If you can add screenshots, that would be extremely helpful. If not, I am a quick study, and I believe I will be able to learn without the screenshots.
