Captivate

Good day all,As we are aware that text animation was removed in captivate classic as it was a flash(swf). and recently there was fixed (c/o paul wilson tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j343-qDQDGU&t=1s) by recording a demo simulation and type the text you need then it will be captured as typing text, when you right click you can convert it as text animation. I've managed to do this with 11.8.1.219. but when I updated with the latest 11.8.2, I cannot do it anymore. I'm using this animation when a learner fails to ype the correct one in text entry. Has anyone found a solution to this? or maybe tried on the all new captivate? but thinking you cannot use a file from all new to classic. Thank you all.

I am a new user, so you will either have to forgive me or celebrate me here with this idea 🙂 PPTX and 16:9 was made at a time when people were consuming things on desktop screens. IMO, this shape is out-dated, because SO MANY folks consume their media on tablets or phone, which do much better with a square format. Even in giving Zoom workshops, I now use square slides because it is more efficient for screen real estate. If Cp would create a square project, it would solve all of this madness about responsiveness across devices--we'd create one project, it would be square, and it would work well on all devices. I mean, think of all the glitches that are being caused by things rendering differently in the different device-viewing modes... and all the money and grief Adobe is spending trying to make responsivesness across layouts work, and all the limitations it puts on the creators, and on the learners... What do others think? And do the Adobe decision-mak

Hi! I've opened the all-new Captivate for the first time yesterday and I've been trying out a few things. Something I've noticed is that the vertical padding from a paragraph box can't go above 100 pixels when you type it in manually into the visual properties window. Is there any reason to that? Thanks in advance.

I have a responsive Captivate 2017 project and on one slide I have an event video. I'd like for the project to remain on the slide with the video until the video is done playing, then automatically move to the next slide. I always make custom nav buttons for my projects, so the slide has a 'next' button and a 'previous' button on it, that pause the slide after 3 secs (the extent of the slide timeline).I also have the video hidden on entering the slide, with a custom play button with an action to show the video. The video is set to autoplay and the timing is set to duration of the video. My on enter action for the slide is an execute javascript action and in the javascript window I have - cp.hide("introVideo");document.getElementsByTagName("introVideo")[0].addEventListener('ended',myFunction,false);function myFunction(e) {window.parent.window.cpAPIInterface.next();}I'm not sure if my function for moving to the next slide is correct. Though, I also tried just writingcp.nextSlide(): in my

Hi Everyone! Windows 11, i7Software downloaded to a M.2 drive so fast readout.3 x montior setup.  (2 x 4k and 1x 1080p) I am having lots of issues using the new Captivate 2023. Although the Classic version works perfectly fine, the new version keeps having issues like freezing and error messages.  When I try to add a Widget or Media box i get the message "Something went wrong" popup.   I can however add text or interactive componenents.  Another issue i have found, is that the software hates different monitors using diffferent resolutions.  I have to unlpug the 1080p monitor while using the 4k ones. Even so, with just the 1 or 2 4k monitors on, i still get these messages.   Any thoughts or ideas please? Anybody else getting these problems?  Paul

Hello,I am having an issue with the software simulation. I used to be able to record a software simulation in automatic mode, and Captivate would create a slide for every click or typing I would make. Now, anytime I do record, Captivate only creates slides when I type. If I select manual mode, it records when I tell it to capture the screen. Is there a setting that I need to check to get the recording the way I use to have it?Thank you!

Hi everyone! I hope you don’t mind so many posts from a brand-new person here. In a way, I’m an “ideal test user” for Cp 12, because I am new to course-authoring software. Ergo, I don’t have the expectations and experiences of those of you who are already fluent in Cp 2019, and I am learning Cp12 from scratch, as we all are. At first (meaning, two weeks ago when I first started playing with it!) of course I would blame myself for everything turning out wonky - "I have built several Wordpress sites, why am I having so much trouble here?" But I have been learning that indeed there are many bugs, and this makes me feel much less like I don’t know what the heck I am doing! 🙂 This makes me feel both better (about myself) and worse (about the product getting in the way of my new career) at the same time. I am planning to launch a course in the autumn and I am feelign afraid that Cp12 may not do it, and that Cp Classic is too much of a learning curve. (I can t

Hi the community,I am looking for a solution to get a SCORM video content that have a pdf embeded. I saw that it is possible to a put a DPF in an Adobe Captivate eLearning project (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjWEN60aBHc) but I am wondering if this will work correctly when the project is published as SCORM.Thank for your time

I love playing with the new Captivate. It would be great to have an option in the TOC window to create different TOCs per roles/training so when a user selects their role or training required the correct TOC appears guiding them to complete required parts, view optional ones. All this without requiring a lot of code and variables on my part 🙂    

Good evening, all; I'm hoping to get a bit of support with a tester I've been trying out. In a project I'm working on, I wanted to create a sort of non-quiz KC type activity that keeps a score on the screen. I created a separate single-slide project from scratch just to test to see if I could do it and was kind of pleased when it worked...in principle that is: the user selects the correct answer, clicks submit, sees positive feedback and the score goes up by 10 points or the user selects the wrong answer, clicks submit, sees negative feedback the score decreases by 10. The 'submit' action is limited to one attempt (see image below): The first problem is that I can choose the wrong answer and just keep clicking Submit over and over (even though it's set to one attempt...?) and the score continues to decrease.The second problem is that I can then just click the correct answer (even though it's set to one attempt...?) and then just keep clicking Submit over and over again and th

Hello, Cp12 Community! Has anyone experimneted yet with the HotSpot Widget? I cannot quite figure out what it is meant to do - it seems as though you choose the number of "HotSpots" to place on an image, and then when a user clicks or hovers on a HotSpot (which in the default setting looks like a littel bulls-eye target), something should happen. But as I am designing the slide, I find two problems and I wonder if they are bugs or if I am doing something incorrectly? 1) I can change the hotspot from a bulls-eye target shape into some generic icon from the Assets, but when I try to import anything from my computer to use as a HotSpot shape, nothing is available to me. How do we know what type of file we are able to use so that we can customize the HotSpot shapes? Or do you think this is a bug? 2) I would think there needs to be an interaction that we define, for when the user hovers or clicks on the Hotspot buttons--but when I select the button in order to work with it, t

I have a question about using All New Captivate, and I am sorry if this is a basic questions, but this software doesn't come with any instructions or manual--we are just expected to figure it out (which, when you think of it, is kinda tough!). I want to make sure that each quiz, and interaction is completed before the learner can advance to the next slide. So I think it is 2 questions: 1) How can I mark a quiz as mandatory before the learner can proceed (Is "graded" mandatory, and "knowledge check" not mandatory?), and2) Can I mark other interactions, such as carousel, drag and drog, or click-to-reveal, as mandatory before the learner can advance to the next slide? If so, I am somehow not seeing it. Thank you! -Lisa

Can't seem to figure out why the answers (after answer "B") are misaligned from the first two options. I've even remade the slide from scratch and it still continues to be an issue. How do I fix this alignment issue?  

Hello all:I have a simple table I need to add to a Captivate screen. I know that the current widget doesn't support things like cell merging, etc., but I'd like to put a line break into a cell that contains address/contact information.  I've tried all the usual key commands, but they still just take me to the next cell in the column.Is this possible in the table widget?-M

I have a problem redimensioning my Captivate projects onto several different platforms as Mobiles or Tablets. It runs smoothly on PC though.Everytime is played on one Iphone, Ipad, Tablet, or any Mobile whatsoever, it doesn't show the whole frame and page. We have to scroll up or down as it is never adjusted to these. It's not a standard size because it must be on stagger so it automatically adapts these.I can't find it.Thank you in advance.

Some things seem heinke on the Mac still, like using command + a to select all seesm to work in some things but not in others.  Also when saving project, it allows me to use the modal, but after saving, at the top of the project window it still says "untitled1*"  I'm sure I'll find other things as we go along, it mostly works. just wish we had a few more options for making projects. (Those have been added to the 'wish list' page as listed in the software.) 

It appears that you can't put items where you want them to be. I'm trying to move a button but the only thing I can do it move it horizontally or position it vertically by adding other content. And what happened to the shapes that you could insert? Ugggg.

I paid for the subscription version and I can't find the download icon. Every time I click the link, it takes me back to the free-trial page. I am trying to download Captivate 11.8 on MacOS, 1. I go to my account2. Click on all apps3. Try searching4. Go back to site, rinse & repeat 

I have a key for Captivate, but need a download link

We have dynamic buttons that have changing text when clicked.We would like to use variables for the clicked state, but when you click the button to the new state, the text shifts down and to the right.So:Normal - text is $$option_a$$rollOver - text is $$option_a$$Down - text is $$option_a$$Clicked - text is $$option_a_updated$$It seems to be influenced by the mouse--the text doesn't move until the mouse is moved.The problem doesn't happen with the state change if text is hard coded, only when variable.I tried moving disable the button to the top of the code, but this didn't make any difference

In the new Captivate and can't seem to delete a text box. Also having trouble moving a text box. Any help?

I am new to Captivate (downloaded "Classic" a month ago for a trial and when I went to purchase last weekend realized they had updated). I am currently using the "New Captivate". I am struggling to do what I feel should be an easy thing. I would like to create a question slide (simple multiple choice) that contains a single image. My question is essentially "Based on the image below, what is the correct answer?". I can't for the life of me figure out how to add a simple image to the slide. What am I missing?

I am trying to create a custom question slide in Captivate 12 using an Image block and a Text Input block. I want to duplicate the normal functionality of the question slides so that it functions as close as possible to a normal question slide. I have managed to partially duplicate the "Caption" that provides feedback on a standard question slide by using a text box with different states which are triggered by the value in the input block etc. I have two things I would like to do that I can't figure out. 1. I can change the text, text color, text highlight color, etc. with the various states. But all states share the same background. Is there a way to alter the background color of this text block with states? Another way? I have played around with using the text highlighting and extra spaces and blank lines, it works, but it isn't very elegant, and it is nearly impossible to get everything lined up perfectly. I'm hoping there is a better way. 2. I would like to duplicate the

I am using Adobe Captivate 2017 to spread awareness regarding safe internet usage. I want to know if I can use it to directly create an app that I can then send to teachers and parents or I would need a developer who would then create an app.
