Captivate

I have a user that when they try to publish a project in Captivate it keeps crashing. Then the next day it will work or they can publish a different project. I've tried uninstalling and reinstall Captivate on their VM, which is running Windows 10. It might fix the issue but then comeback the next day with a different project. I've tired to have them rename the project a different name and it still crashes. Tried to clear captivate cache and that doesn't work. Tried to reboot the vm and clear the cache with no luck. Tried to redownload the project or try a different project but it still won't publish. Had them make a test project to see if maybe it was the projects they have to download and the test one they made would publish. The version of Captivate they are using is 11.5.5.553. We've also tried changeing Windows page files size to see if that would work by increasing the ram size but no luck there either. When Captivate crashes it doesn't give an error message either so no clue

I'm trying to upload Vimeo videos in my Captivate project. I'm getting the following error message. The video privacy is set to "Public". Captivate version - 11.5.5.553  

Hello, Is it possible to use a 360 image within a wider mixed media elearning course e.g. a few slides of content, a quiz, a video and then an interactive 360 image? Or does it have to be a stand alone VR slide published out? Thanks, Lou

Hi, I'm new to Captivate and installed V12 recently. I'm creating an interactive module and added the tabs widget to my slide. I want the user to be able to jump to a slide when they click the image in the widget. But the interaction tab has the 'no entry' logo when I hover over it. Can you add interactions to elements in widgets in the new Captivate? Thanks

I have just received the latest version of Captivate at work to create some basic system simulations. The only option I have when I go to publish is to publish html. We want to be able to have users access it through SharePoint. Does anyone know if this is possible? I haven’t used Captivate for about 7 years so it’s looking quite different to the way it did back then! Thanks

Hi you all, I installed the new Captivate and I am exited, how clean and nice it looks. I am a teacher for tech and I mostly want to use Captive for Programmtraining. But the Simulation does not record my mouseclicks. I looked in Option and I clicked make a field by every mouse click, but it does not work. At the end I always only have one slide. When I open Captivate new and start a new Projekt, it records like two or three mouseclicks and then nothing. I work with a Surface Studio that has a high resolution monitor. In the last version I had to make the monitor with smaller pixels. I tried that and here also the mouseclicks do not record. Any ideas? Thank you very much. 🙂 

Good afternoon, all;  I have a slide with (slide) audio and a button on it that, in a perfect world, would allow the user to pause the slide and resume as needed. At the end of the audio the user is meant to click a click box to advance the project. At first, we tried to use the following simple advance action:  It works to pause and play the slide but the continue command in this advanced action seems to 'override' the pause on the click box. So if the user just pauses and then clicks play (once, twice, thrice, whatever), the project advances to the next slide, completely ignoring the pause on the click box. Here is the timeline:   After being inspired by this blog post by our resident forum expert Lilybiri, I thought that, somehow, the system variables with pause and resume might be a solution (rather than commands of pause and continue) (though the advanced action in the blog shows a 'continue', which I think is the reason for my original prob

Hi Captivate community! This is my first post here, I am working on an E-Learning course with Captivate 11.8.2 (I'm happy to update once this course is done) Here is what I am trying to achive: A Drag&Drop Interaction with 8 drag targets and 8 drop zones. Each drop zone should only ever recieve 1 target (this works just fine). The user should only be abled to submit the interaction once - this does not work. The user can navigate back and forth through the course via buttons. Going back to a previous slide and coming back to the slide with the Drag&Drop always displays the "Submit" button for the Drag&Drop again. Here are my Drag&Drop Options:Here are my Drag&Drop Actions:Success / Failure messages are displayed via JavaScript. Additionally the scripts show and hide some other objects, here is the success script (the failure is the same just with different IDs to show and hide):window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue('_v_quiz_submitted', 1); cp.s

Hi everyone!I am trying to use the new 2023 release of Captivate for a software simulation. In Classic, I can add Click Boxes, which cause the slide to pause or not move on to the next slide until after the user clicks in that area of the screen. I can't figure out how to do this in the new Captivate. Is this still a feature?

Hello, I am using the newest version of Adobe Captivate. The font is uploaded to the Creative Cloud, I also have a version saved to my desktop. How do I get it to reflect within the new version?  Thank you!

NOTE: Individual subscription users can get the updates in January 2022. We are pleased to announce that we have released Captivate 11.8.   This release is a subscription-only release.   You must have an active subscription of Adobe Captivate to use the build. If you do not have an active subscription, the new update will revert to a trial mode. If you have already used your trial, you will be unable to use the build.   If you create a project with build 11.5.5 (Win/macOS), the project shall open in build 11.8. But a project created with build 11.8 will not open in build 11.5.5 (Win/macOS).   For more information, see Adobe Captivate 11.8 release notes.   This aritcle answers your queries regarding the build.   There are a few known issues, which we are working on.   Let us know your feedback.

I am really struggling with adding custom images. No matter what size of image I select Captivate zooms in on the image and it will not display the entire image. I also cannot figure out any way to resize the image. I can just move the window around to see another portion of the image. Right now, I am trying to change out the images on a card widget and there is no way to tell what the image is because it is zoomed in so much. How can I add my own images and still retain the entire image? 

Hello, so I am looking for some help if anyone has any answers or thoughts on this.  I have recently got V12 and it seems to be wildly inflexible compared to 11.8.  It doesn't seem like the flexibility is there to do any of the following:*have a banner across the top with a company logo in the left corner as have text in the right corner linking out to external pages. Ie. A help page. *have content in the body of the slide and then also have a list of buttons on either side that can act as a "navigational menu" for the purposes of jumping around the project as required in a "choose your own path" manner instead of linear progression (in the case where there is generalised content but some can be skipped by certain audiences) As well as some other things.  Am I missing something?  It looks like the main cause of the inflexiblity is the absence of verticle blocks and the ability the resize blocks freely.  Does anyone have any ti

I want to create a replay button that completely resets the quiz before jumping to the first slide. I've use suggestions from the forum and I found that the javascript command cp.resetQuizData(); in and advanced action effectively clears out any replies to the quiz questions. What it doesn't do is reset the value of cpInReviewMode. That means that if students review the quiz questions from the results screen, then decide to replay the course, they can't attempt the quiz questions again. I tried adding a line to the advanced action to assign a value to cpInReviewMode to reset it. Unfortunately, cpInReviewMode doesn't appear in the drop down list of variables that appears with the Assign function. Is there another way to reset the value of this variable?

Same as Subject, Can't type Korean in text box. The screenshot below, I typed '테스트(test in Korean)' between - and -, but it doesn't typed. It works at other text box, so it maybe only has problem at text box(block).And it also works at Captivate Classic. OS: Windows 11Captivate Version 12.1.0.16

Hi there.  I've seen some videos that have color splashes when the mouse is clicked. How do I do this in Captivate.  I'm trying to bring more attention to my mouse. Thanks

My client is a faculty of a university. They use Captivate to create e-modules for part of the training.While going through a module, this sometimes seems to go completely well, but sometimes it doesn't. Certain images are not loaded correctly (see screenshot). My client is a faculty of a university.

Hi, I am a content writer and I have been creating videos, posters and other materials. I am looking at creating more interactive content. What Adobe tools can I explore?

Captivate 8 - Any thoughts on why I am getting fill-in-the-blank box labeling inconsistencies - see screen image below? Some boxes have the "Select" text and others do not!Thank you

Having had some time free of corrupted projects with the recent versions of CP 2019 and very much enjoying using it with the extra power that CPExtra and CPMate provide, this unwelcome experience appears to have returned with Captivate Classic. I have been trying to create some simple custom controls in a responsive project because the Playbar is unreliable on mobile devices. The difficulty in just trying to get a forward and back button to be the same dimensions is remarkable. Having achieved what I thought was going to work, I went to preview the last time and... it exits. The backup file does the same.  Not only that, but my PC goes to 100% CPU utilisation with multiple instances of CPCefHelper running in Task Manager. Turns out these are related to CP interacting with the CC app. Those previous memories of similar experiences of a few years ago came flooding back. The rescue procedure is to copy slides over in groups of five or so to try to find the offending corrupt

In captivate classic, can you import a CSV file to create KNOWLEDGE CHECKS? Currently I only seem to be able to create QUESTION slides, not KCs from the csv file. Thanks.  Lori

If you want to vertically centre the copy beside the image using the 'introduction slide single image option 3' version of the image component you need to include a button element.When you delete the button, the text pops up to the top edge of the image and has no vertical centering option. so if you keep the button on, but 'skip this element in screen reader' under accessibility, then take off all the colors from the appearance and uncheck the 'text' option, it will leave the element there, but have no actual 'button' and it keeps your text vertically centered beside the image.
