Captivate

I am reaching out to ask for your support for my ongoing project. Currently, I am creating an Interactive Animated Video in Adobe Captivate 2019 version. Upon trying to upload an eLearning SCORM 2004 version into our Learning Management System, it's all good and the interactions are working. However, when I tried exporting and disabled the eLearning Output setting and then uploaded it to our Content Management System, the asset is working but once clicked on the interaction, the video goes to loading and then routes at the start of the video again. I would like to hear from you on what is the possible problem and solution for this one.

Hi, Is there a way of returning to a certain point on a slide? I have a slide that shows a sequence of events.... one the sequence has been completed, id like the user to be able to watch it again via a 'repeat' button. is there a way that i can say, 'when repeat button is pressed return to 00:02 (for example)  on the slide and play so that the pattern repeats (as many times as the user likes) many thanksRob

Hi Adobe community,  I have uploaded a SCORM  Package 1.2 to the LXP platform called Degreed and when I try to open the course it shows the following message "Adobe Flash Player is no longer supported". Is there a way to run the course on Degreed? Thanks for your help,Sabina

Dear Captivate Community, I received an email asking me to post a message here on the forum, because I have a little blog that others may find useful, especially people new to Adobe Captivate and still learning the essential features of the program. Over the past 2 years, I developed an array of projects to better understand Captivates features, so I have decided to release my projects for free to the public with the hope that it may benefit just one person new to learning the essentials of Adobe Captivate. My blog is located at https://tonyvinckx.blogspot.com. For each project file, there is an individual download link to OneDrive - simply click on the link, download and save the file to your computer. Note: You need a modern browser to see a visible download link on the OneDrive website, else you will see a blank page! Here is a short-list of my free Captivate projects and resources I released on my blog this year: An example of an icebreaker for adult training - simple IQ test.cptx

Good afternoon, everyone;  Just a quick question: is it possible to apply formatting to part of the text that is inserted by a variable? For example, if my variable is $$variable_text$$ and for one particular slide the text is: "This is the text for this slide", is it possible to make it something like: This is the text for this slide or This is the text for this slide or This is the text for this slide (for example) Thanks! samamara 

Hi, I hope someone know how to do this. There is a quiz. It has 30 questions. Each question has 3 answers to choose from, A and B and C.The goal is that at the end of the quiz, if more A's were selected by the user, then show message X as feedback. If B's were selected more, then show message X1 and if C's were selected more, then show message X2 as feedback. I hope it could explain it clearly.  Thank you very much. 

Hello,    I made an e-learning course to include in my portfolio (google site) rather than for uploading to a LMS1.  I download the project to my device as an HMTL 5 file (not zipped)2.  The download is successful and I can view/play the "output" and see my project.3.  I upload it to my S3 bucket on AWS and the upload is successful.4.  When I click on the index file to get the URL I get this message*I tried uploading a zip file and also uploading to a different hosting platform with the same result.   Can anyone help with this?

In a project I am working on, I use a Hide Playbar action when the slide is entered.  After it plays to a certain point, I want to Show Playbar to reveal the Playbar.Is this easily accomplished? Many thanks in advance!

Has anyone else encountered an issue where the published HTML files work fine in Chrome, but problematic in Safari. The animations are not smooth in Safari and audio files are not playing. I am not seeing the same issues when using Chrome. There also seems to be loading issues and the file becomes frozen in Safari.

Hi All!I'm an animator, and I've created some training animations for a client. The idea is that the user will watch the animated video (created in AE), and then do a quiz or reflection based on the video. There will be six videos, followed by six quizes. The client will deliver the material on Moodle 3.9, hosted by them. So my question is: Would Captivate be a good tool to do this with? I need it exported as a SCORM package, and I don't have a ton of experience with Captivate. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hello all, I am new to Captivate 2019 and I already wanting to uninstall it! It seems to have been coded in the early 2000's (maybe late 90's) and the more I use it, the more I want to remove it. Its vastly different and disappointing compared to today's modern eLearning products. I come from using Articulate 360/Rise and this is night and day in comparison. Is there anyone out there using Articulate 2019 and can relate to this or is it just me because I am new and haven't gotten used or accepted this setback? I have used many of the Adobe Creative Creative Suite products and love them! In fact, this is like a totally different product as it has none of the looks and feels of other Adobe products. Its sad because on paper, its appears to be a great product for the capabilities and features it offers but the UX is horrible - non intuative poor layout/design, no intergration with other Adobe products and crashes peridically (and I am on a late model very well spec'ed Alienware

Hi,hopefully short one....How do I change the color of the "You did not answer all questions" pop up at the end of a quiz?I am almost certain I saw it somewhere but cannot find it for the life of me...Thank you!

The image below has colored lines with arrows. Any recommenation on how to most efficiently, effectively animate the arrows traleling through the lines?   Dvaid

There aren't any click boxes or buttons on the frame. We are updating an old lesson it aut advances in the old format.  We've added a theme but there aren't any buttons or click boxes in the theme.  The new lesson does not auto advance.

Hi there!I work with projects where videos are an essential part. Of course weight is an issue I have faced, so I was wondering if there is an option to link the videos to an external server? I've tried the slide video option with youtube and vimeo but that doesn't work for me, because I need my clients to be able to control the videos, but not the rest of the course (So playbar wouldn't be an option).  I would be very thankful if there's some advice in this issue. 

I develop video-based training. Each slide includes mostly video. I've been successfully embedding f4v videos into Captivate projects for some time but video quality and file size issues make it necessary to begin linking to videos on external servers.I've tried a number of options without success.I create a video event, choose the url option, and add the url from the uploaded video. The only usable server choice is the Adobe Media Streaming Service. I've tested the videos on different servers including Amazon since the troubleshooting advice alerted me that only Adobe partners servers will be recognized. The project previews and the progress bar moves as if the video is playing but only the background file is visible. I tried all the preview options - no luck.I decided to try the YouTube widget. I uploaded test videos to YouTube, inserted the Interaction widget and added the url, etc. This option results in a successful preview only when I choose the html 5 output in web browser optio

Hi there-  I have two embedded external videos (mp4) in a file I'm working in.  When I use  Preview next 5 slides or Preview Project the video plays like I want it to.  When I publish the file (HTML5/SWF) and view the file after publish, the videos don't work.  Any ideas about where to start my troubleshooting? The video is set to Auto Play. And I have it set to pause the slide till end of video.  When I view it after publish, the blank slide shows for 5 seconds and then moves onto the following slide instead of showing the video. Any assistance would be appreciated. By the way, I'm using Captivate 2017. Amy

I have this clickbox on Captivate 9 on hundreds of slides, but can't seem to automatically position it to the end of the timeline.I end up dragging it all the way, and if I exceed the drag length to greater than the length of the slide, it ends up at the start again.Is there a keyboard shortcut that I can use to move this object to the end of the timeline automatically? (not Ctrl+E)ThanksRegards

2-part question: 1 - Anyone else use or have experienace with Axis Atrixware LMS?  2 - Anyone have issues with SCORM modules created with Captivate 19 having issues as they age? I am leaning its an LMS issue but know I can get quick and reliable answers here. Issues that are not related to things no longer used (Flash, etc).  Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Hello all;I am in need of some help, please. I am working in Captivate 2019 on a Mac. I'm trying to work on a simple simulation where users need to click on a click box. If they get it right, they click to continue. If they don't: - first, they will get a box that tells them where they should have clicked and an arrow pointing to the same- then they click a continue button that clears the screen of the hints so they can try again- if they get it right the project advances- if they don't get they get another text box that says sorry, click to continue.  I was struggling with figuring a way to do this since you can't have more than one failure message on click box and I found this older post  that was very helpful in getting me started.  1. I first made it so all elements on the screen (other than the click boxes) were hidden on entry. 2. I created a user variable named cb_attempt with a value of 0.3. Then, as directed in that post post I crea

I have a question pool of 10 questions. I need all the questions to have 4 shuffled answers and it be audio narrated. I've done the slide audio and audio attached to the feedback captions which work. But the slide audio has the answers narrated in the wron order obviously.I was looking at a click or hover over to play the audio but as these end up behind the answers they don't appear to work. Anyone know if there is work around for this? 

Bonjour, Gros problémes de fonctionnement avec les 2 applications. Impossible de m'en servir depuis plus de 8 jours !!!Merci de bien vouloir prendre contact avec moi.Cordialement.Chantal Mangin0678387852

I'm used to making an LMS course as one Captivate project. Say it has 5 lessons, I would link to them from a main menu. It's easy to make each lesson accessible after the previous one is done.I'm now working on a 12 hour course, and the ISD said she usually sees this done as a multi-module project with a shell. So I think I would make a main menu as the shell, then link to each project separately. The modules have checkpoints, but no quizzes. There is a final exam, but it will be built in Homework, and linked to by the LMS when the modules are all viewed. I just need to make sure each module is viewed one-by-one in order with the final exam at the end. I'm a bit worried about how I will get the modules to be accessible after the previous one is viewed, but maybe the LMS can take care of this, right? Any recommedations on how to approach this? I'm thinking the multi-sco packager is not the best option, plus I want to have control of how the main screen looks.

Hi,I have a slide with multiple text entry boxes.The slide audio is supposed to stop after 10 sec.Once a button is clicked it should use an AA to continue the Audio and also display objects. (see image)Issue:The slide audio simply won´t stop. Even if I put in a click box that has "pause slide audio" checked...If I set the button to pause audio when "clicked" it does that though...Any idea what to do?
