Captivate

Hello!I would like to use a protected blank / non breaking space  e.g. at: 10 mm. Unfortunately the field (see picture) does not work. I work with mac so the shortcut is not possilble(I have also tried some more key combinations, but nothing works)Thanks in advance!

Currently I am running Captivate 2019 on a MacBook Pro M1. I am planning to buy the new Mac Mini M2 for my office but I have heard that Captivate 2019 will not run on the M2 chip. Can anyone confirm this and if so, what is Adobe's forecast to upgrade Captivate for the M2 chip Thank youBobG

I am using the trial version of Adobe Captivate 2019. I used the text-to-speech feature to narrate the process flow displayed in a video. However, the audio's timeline keeps going back to default whenever I update the slide note. Is this because I am using the trial version? Can someone help me with this?

I am trying to imitate layer function of storyline by using groups. So I want to display a modal, when the click on the button. To close the modal, I also use X button(shape). I want to close the modal + change the state of button that is clicked for opening this modal.  But as you can see it is grayed out. 

I am having trouble with text in a multistate object changing the alignment or even its size when it is in preview mode and when published (to HTML5 and Scorm 1.2). It is a responsive project and all fluid boxes look ok when I adjust layout preview in Captivate, and all style settings are how I want them, but when I preview and/or publish, some of them decide to go wonky and change alignment (eg bullet points not aligning) or change text size (sometimes multiple text sizes in the one section).Screenshots are attached so you can see what I mean. What can I do to fix this?I'm using Captivate 11.8.1.219Thank you

Hi,  I just updated to Captivate 11.8.1.219. The first thing I tried is to create a smart shape and it seems most of the style options are gone from the Properties panel. I now have a Basic panel with smart shape replacement, opacity and line style but am not able to edit the line or fill colour. The Shadow and Reflection panel is still present but I really need to be able to change the colours of the smart shapes. Are these options now somewhere else?  Thanks.

HiI have a course with a slide video.I also have some interactive buttons that popup, pause the video, and when the user interact with the button the video continues.Now when building this course as responsive I have run into some problem.I need the buttons and everything else I put on top of the video to keep the position when rescaling everything.  Now when the user flips their phone. the buttons are no longer visible.Any solution to this?  Can I work with master templates for this?

Captivate used to pop up a page that showed what external files a course was pointing to using the "Open URL or file" action, and would also tell you what slide the link appeared on. This appeared when a course was finished with the publish command. No more.  I really relied on that feature for keeping my assets straight, as I'd screen grab it and paste it someplace hidden from the user.PLEASE PUT THAT BACK IN.  Anyone know a workaround?  Thanks.

How would I create an unlock additional quiz option in Adobe Captivate 2019?

I have a project that requires closed captioning in 26 different languages. So I created several shape and gave it 26 states. Shape 1 should start at time 0, state 2 at tim 3 seconds and shape 3 at time 6 seconds. On enter to the slide, I have an advanced action that changes the state to say German.  When the slide runs, ALL objets show up at time zero. What the heck? I created a brand new project just to test this. I've attached it below. Slide 1 is blank. Slide 2 has the 3 shapes.  Please help. I'm super confused why this is happening and have no idea how to fix it. It happens with shapes and captions.  Link to project (this editor wouldn't let me attach): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NSqHumgy6WLY7sYJfsNi6mlGsPItLmpJ/view?usp=sharing Thanks Lori    

Hi, I posted this as a bug as it is ambiguous.  Grey or white for on off.  Is white not grey, for the active document but grey not white for the active pubish setting.  See my screen capture where i have two documents open, and the active one is white not grey but below that in the publish settings, the grey choice is active and not the white.  A solution would be to change the publish setting to on and off with a slider with green like on an iphone. That would then be really clear and unambiguous, or if adobe doesn't like that idea, then try a yes no checkbox arrangment with a tick or something.

Hi Everyone, I'm creating a project in Captivate 2019 and using the drag and drop function.In the object actions I have assigned an advanced action to the accepted drag source. This advneced action includes an applied effect (in my case a rotate to effect).When I preview the course the rest of the action seems to work when the drag and drop action is carried out but the applied effect does not.This is my advanced action:And this is how I am applying these actions:  My version of Captive is 11.8.0. Is this something that just can't be done using the combination of advanced actions and drag and drop? Any advice is hugely appreciated.

Good morning, all;  I am having an issue that I thought/hoped would be fixed with a simple advanced action, but it seems that is not the case, so I was hoping someone here may have a quick, not-too-complex solution.  I have made a slide with three simple flipcards:  Each card their own advanced action and they all work perfectly:   However, as I needed a way for learners to move on after they flipped the cards, I added a Continue button, which you can see in the first screen shot. This way, they can control when to move forward in case they want to reread the cards. However, I want them to turn all the cards to read them before they move forward, so I don't want the continue button to appear until after they have done so. As a possible solution, I created variables for each of the flipped cards and added them to each of the cards' advanced actions to be incremented by 1 when they get a click, which you can see in the second screen shot.

We are using Captivate 19 We desire to have a single/one text box/shape (which contains an scenario) that can be expanded over the top of an image and then collapsed so the learner can continue to click on appropriate hot spot(s).  I'm figuring if it can be done, it would be using Advanced Actions... Just not sure what it would be.  Thanks in advance. 

Hi. I'm stumped, days of daily scripting are long gone, but here's what I want to do: I have several courses that contain the same 4 slides in each course, albeit at different starting slide numbers. In my courses, I have a series of 4 slides.  If the user has seen these slides in a different course, I want them to be able to click a button on the first slide of the 4 to bypass that slide, plus further bypass the next set of 3 slides and go straight to the fifth slide in the series.  (I'd prefer to use a shared script as I need to do this for actually 2 sets of slides)Since these slides are in multiple courses, there is no telling what the actual slide numbers affected will be - they will be independent per course so I can't just hard code a "jump to slide X".  So, to summarize:Click a button on slide x (let's say slide 11).  That action will then leap frog over the current slide (11) plus the next 3 more slides (12, 13, 14) and re-enter on slide 15.I can eithe

We have created several Adobe Captivate courses, some just a straight MP4 video, some that have user interactions and some that have quiz questions (e.g. - T/F and MC).  For each file that we upload to KnowBe4, none of them seem to be marked as complete.  In addition, one file generates an error at the end of the course that says, "406 Data Model Element Type Mismatch: could not parse number". There is one discussion thread in the Adobe Captivate forums that says the solution to this is to have KnowBe4 Support upload our SCORM files. This is not a long term solution.  We don't want to have to contact KnowBe4 Support every time we need a new file uploaded. Is there a solution to this issue from an Adobe Captivate standpoint? For the record, we are using Adobe Captivate 11.8.0.586. 

Hi,i have problem with submit button as image in responsive project in quiz. When i'm adding it to the slide it looks fine(sc.1), but when i start working in next slides and i came back i looks bad (sc.2). For worse if i preview project it looks on in like on screen no.2. The image isn't resized in captivate. I have to upload the image again do not go back to the slaid. Thats my only solution for it for now, does sb had similar problem?1. 2. 

When you select "Send Data on Every Slide," is there a way to view how this changes the output files of a published project? For example, is there JavaScript that changes when it is turned on versus turned off? Is it changed in one single location or would several output files be affected?

I'm new to Captivate and still using the free trial, and it keeps freezing and/or crashing during the following operations:Trying to open a new blank project in using a Custom size (1280 x 720).Trying to resize the project once it is already open.Trying to apply a new theme to a resized project (on the few occasions when I've been able to actually get a custom size).Trying to import a Powerpoint presentation.Trying to import new AssetsStarting Captivate (sometimes it freezes on loading)I have tried resetting the preferences multiple times, restting the preferences and then rebooting, etc. Not sure what else I can try?

Hello all, CP version - 11.5.5.553My calculation by using Expressions doesn't work at all - the result shows "0". The purpose is to display the total number of questions before the actual Question slide. I tried:remove the varialbe and adv action and then re-createrename the varialbe and adv action to ensure the title is unque Did I miss any? Thank you for any suggestions/feedback Varialbe - v_QcountAdv Actions - "6" is the total number of those non-question slidesAfter publishing the project..... it always shows "0"  

It was scrubbed yesterday with zero communication to current Captivate customers and interested beta participants. Is it dead? Delayed? What?  Literally, just say something.

HiI am using a slide video in my course and have several hotspots.I would like that when the user hoovers over a button the slide video will stop and a box will show for the user to decide if he wants to read more about the part in the video or move on. When the user moves out from the button I would like the video to continue playing. Any suggestions for a soulition?Thank you

Hi EveryoneI'm quite new to Captivate and had started by creating non-responsive projects, outputting to SWF zip files and uploading to our LMS.  Everything worked fine, however I  wanted a good template to use, so downloaded the 'clean' template from the assets store (eLearning Bros).This template is responsive which I didn't particularly want, but as I like the template I decided that I would go ahead and use responsive.I previewed my project in the SCORM cloud, everything works fine including the drag and drop and click to reveal interactions I have added into the template.  Then I have published my files, and this is where the difference seems to start.  First off, there is no SWF option as with a regular project output - looks like it only publishes HTML5 zip files.  An article I read on Captivate, said best practice is to use SWF as it creates less issues with LMS's.  No worry though, I output and load the file into our LMS.  Everything looks ok

Hi all,I am using CP 2019, and the preview option stopped working a few weeks after installing version 11.8.0.586.Reinstalling CP doesn't solve the issue. The funny thing is it affects just a few laptops, while others work fine. It's a company network, and I assume some background scripts or permissions are blocking some parts of the application, but just on a few laptops. Any suggestions on how to resolve the preview error? I fear other installations will start experiencing the same issue in time, affecting the ability to review advanced slides quickly during production. Note that the issue is not project related. It's an issue with the application option.

I'm using Captivate 2019. I've noticed the drag and drop can only be accomplished by using the touchpad or a mouse on a Chromebook and not the touchscreen. It is extremely difficult for our 3th graders. (6 year) Also it is not working on the 86inch touchscreens in the classroom. Is there a solution?
