Captivate

Hi, I'm a javascript/CSS beginner, using the Captivate 2019 updated software. I've been trying to build a version of this project https://elearning.adobe.com/2018/06/random-animated-spinner/ but am having trouble getting the arrow to spin using the 'animate' portion of the code in the example: arrowc.animate([{transform: ‘rotate(0deg)’,transformOrigin: ‘center’,},{transform: ‘rotate(‘ + (eRot) + ‘deg)’,transformOrigin: ‘center’,}], {fill: ‘forwards’, easing: ‘cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.10, 1)’, duration: 7000 } Does anyone know how to make an object spin in Captivate 2019 (updated version) using the 'animate' function? The closest I've managed to come is to make the arrow 'appear' in different positions using this css code from another Community thread: $("#arrowc").css({transform: "rotate("+(eRot)+"deg)", transformOrigin: "left",}) Thanks in advance,

I recently upgraded from Captivate 9 to Captivate 11 (Captivate 2019, v 11.5.4.613). The YouTube widget is missing from Learning Interactions (and this widget is essential to my projects). I have the same issue whether I download the application onto a MacBook Pro (running Mac OS 10.14.6) or a PC (running Windows 10). I see all the other Learning Interactions, but no YouTube. When I look on my MacBook hard drive (in Documents > My Adobe Captivate Projects > Adobe > eLearning Assets > Interactions_11_5), I see the .wdgt files for all the other widgets, but no YouTube.wdgt file). Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this widget?

Hi, I am trying to publish my Software Automations for use in LMS365. How should I publish these files? I was told to publish using "Publish for Devices", but when I select this a login screen for PhoneGap appears. I do not have a PhoneGap account. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you,

I have a SCORM package developed in Captivate. Everything works as planned but we recently found that if a user re-attempts the score resets to Zero. It doesn't preserve the previous attempt as with the normal quizzes (built-in).

I'm pretty new to Captivate and am struggling to figure this one out... My employer has a program with a bunch of different courses in it that they offer every year. They asked me to take the existing course files and make some minor edits. When I preview the files or upload them to the LMS, they are too tall to be seen in the browser without scrolling down a little bit. I tried using the original files, without my edits, to compare and they do the same thing. However, when I go to our LMS and play the same courses that were offered last year, everything looks right. Why is this happening? My guess is it relates to an update that's happened since my employer last uploaded SCORM packages to the course? Any ideas how to fix it? I experimented with changing the aspect ratio, and it seems to fit the screen at about 1144 Width and 643 Height, but then it cuts off the top of the master slides with the logo. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hi all, thanks so much for being here. I have a weird thing happening where multiple quiz slides (and the results slide) are stacking up on top of each other.This is my first time really using a master slide, so I think it has something to do with that, and also somehow the setting "display for the rest of the project".Essentially, I added a master slide to control the appearance of buttons and the feedback bar, without having to change it every single slide individually. The first quiz slide looks good, then when I move on to the next (2nd) quiz slide, I also see the information from the first slide as well.When I move on to slide 3, I also see slide 1 & 2. You get the idea. Since it is a master, I can not delete the content on a lower layer, nor can I uncheck anywhere "Display for the rest of the project"If anyone has any insight, I sure could use the help.This file was originally created using the function "New Captivate file from Template"I have the original master slides saved

Good day fellow captivate users! I am boggled by this phenomenon I find in one of the Captivate Projects... I have created a click to reveal tab interaction, with 4 buttons/tabs each triggering an advanced action, including changing a state change of one block object, and each tab has a 'clicked' state with a different coloured shape making the tab stand above the others: Here is the view of the layers panel - the block lies above the tabs: BUT in the published SCORM, the 3rd and 4th tabs pop up above the white block when clicked and the state of the tab changed: I did check - the block opacity is 100% in all the different states to be triggered, so it is not disappearing, as you can see by the grey outline. What am I missing here?Help appreciated!

I want to upload a project to eLearning community, but I keep getting an error that says "Invalid File contents" when I triy to upload. Please help! 

How do you create computer base training(CBT) and web base training (WBT) using Captivate 3 or 4?  I know how to record from an application, but how do you put it all together into CBT?  What other tools do I need?

Hello, Several years ago I learned about this hidden feature in Adobe Captivate, but as of today it stopped working. The feature I am referring to is (Ctrl + Alt + Up arrow/Down arrow) to control spacing, and (Ctrl + Alt + Left arrow/Right arrow) to control kerning. I'm using the most recent version of Captivate 2019. For those of you who are not familar with this feature check out Paul Wilson's video. The last two comments posted on this video are experiencing the same issue. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c5I3KXot3A. Anyhow, the problem isn't with Captivate. When I remote into my work machine with my desktop it works fine, but when I remote into the same work machine using my laptop it doesn't work. I just started using the laptop today, and that is when the issue started. I'm using Windows 10 and like I said the most recent version of Captivate. I'm guessing Windows 10 or the Dell laptop has some default setting that isn't recognizing these shortcut key

I made a smart shape turned into a button with an image fill (29 x29), and the fluid box is a height of 35px with padding of H-2 V-6px. When I drag the shape into the fluid box it resizes it larger (35x35). How do I keep the fluid box from resizing shapes or images?

Hi,We have a client who wants to do essay questions.Is this an LMS thing or can I do them in Captivate. rgds Renovator

When you make modifications in the Speech Management with already generated speech, for example adding a new sentence in the slide, or cutting and pasting text in different sentences, the editor makes a mess in most of the times, mixing-up the speech texts. It's not necessary to generate speech, also it's sufficient to scroll down the Speech Management windows, and the changes are messed up. This reflects also in the closed captions, which mess-up the text of the subtitles. I have sent many times to Captivate teams this bug, which is not solved yet after all the updates. In the last one, just to add a new bug, the speaker voice is changed. As example, I use James and Kate as voices, and I have noriced that if you generate a new speech, changing the text, the old "Kate" voice changes: you must re-select again the "Kate" voice for all the slide speech again. I use only Speech Management as audio for the slides, and those bugs are really annoying me. Thank you for reporting to the program

I'm using the scrolling text widget and I am having a problem. I have a version that will be used outside of an LMS and it's not working. In the LMS it works but locally it doesn't.  It's blank. Is there a way to see the widget when viewing from my desktop. Also, when I go to preview project it works but not when I click in index_scorm.html to open the project. Using Captivate 2019 11.5

I have used a mp3 files for a project and when I play the audio back using the speaker icon in the filmstrip it sounds fine. When I do a preview it sounds like there is files overlayed. Any idea what the issue is. I also have the audio files not sticking to the slides and the audio files will show all one file. I delete them and add them again to the slides and it shows the right file then it reverts some again. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong. I am duplicating my slides then changing the audio. Any syggestions?

I'm trying to set up the knowledge checks so that there is feedback given based on which of the wrong answers they've selected.  Figured out how to do that, no problem.  I set the advance answer option action to "No Action" so they can finish using their attempts to answer the question.  However, I noticed on the last attempt, the project stopped.  I'm guessing a combination of no more attempts to answer and "No action" on the incorrect feedback led to stoppage.  So my questions is, is there a way to show a "final" incorrect message and then allow the user to move on?   Thanks!

Hello, Thank you for all your helpful tips. However I am facing an issue with the Dropdown preview in Captivate 9. An icon like a picture icon appears (like below) in the HTML5 preview in the dropdown before clicking on it. Do you know how to resolve this. Thank you in advance

Hi I am creating a project on captivate 2019 and have seen that the app frequently goes on  "Not Responding" mode. Please suggest what can I do about it.  

I get this error code 213:11 while launching Captivate.

I need to revert to a previous version because the new 11.8.1 version is buggy and stalling my project creation.  But my experience is each new version of Captivate has been able to edit projects made in previous versions, and makes it it's own... but, you cannot, then, take that project back to an older version - is there a workaround for this?  Must I recreate in the older version?(Edit newer-version Captivate project in an older version of Captivate?)

Hey guys! My coworker, a subject matter expert, recently did some audio recording while she was screen recoring using the video demo feature of Adobe captivate. There were 3 separate projects open because she had to re-record some audio. When she was finished, she said that she checked the audio to make sure that it recorded and said it was there. When I came to export the audio, I was able to export the first project and audio was there and is included in the Captivate timeline. After exporting (or "publishing" if you will), there was no audio in the timelines in any of the other two projects to my dismay. I exported them as well and they were silent. My coworker swears she checked to make sure there was audio there. Did we do something wrong or did Captivate lose the audio somehow? Unfortunately, I can't post the samples because there is confidential information that I need to redact still. 

Hi,I have a scenario where we upload eLearning courses on an LMS. The users complete the course but it is not getting marked as complete. This is the setting we have:We do not have any dependency on Quiz and the course is configured to be complete when user completes 90% or more.Not sure if anything is missing from the .cptx/source file. LMS is still not marking it as complete so would something be on the LMS side that is preventing it? Or is it something we can handle in the Captivate source?Any pointers?

HiA bit of an annoying problem when using buttons made out of smart shapes. When another object are placed on top of the button, the button is still clickable? Why is this and are there some way to prevent this. I can use disable and all that but in this case its not that great 🙂

Hi All... tough one here.  We have a few simple demos that will not play on our VPN network.  No complicated actions, simply click here to continue style.  They play great when connected to the wired network, but when users access through the VPN, it's hit or miss. When they can't access it the preloader just stops. Granted, I know what you are saying... bandwidth, security, etc.  Here is the thing.  Captivate 5 works fine, flawlessly, even larger files.  I've tried removing the AllowScriptAccess in the htm file, nothing.  Putting the CSS inline in the .htm, no luck.  When it is not working for VPN users, it's as if the file does not exist.  We get a page not found if we try to hit the swf directly. Our IT is currently looking into it.  But the question is, what is different in the published SWF between 6 and 5?  There must be something going on in the AS that controls the published SWF that is causing this issue on our VPN network
