Question

Audioclip, text in success caption remains...

Hi Again,
I read an old posting that no one answered. I have a success caption containing synched audio/text (i.e. the duration of the success caption is equal to the duration of the audio - e.g. 40 seconds.)

When the slide is set to the length of the audio/text success caption clip (e.g. 40-42sec) ,the TEXT fails to fade out (as preset) on the original slide but rather "bleeds" over onto the next slide and remains there for an additonal amount of time (i.e.longer time than the preset success caption w/h audio & text).

I have spent MUCH time trying to remedy this problem! Any ideas??

    Hi Rbavis

    When you examine the Button properties and click the Options tab, is the setting Pause for Success/Failure Captions enabled or disabled?

    If it isn't enabled, try enabling it and see if this changes things. As I understand the option, with it enabled, it should pause the slide until the Caption disappears, then progress to the next slide. I'm not sure how that factors into things if you make the caption duration substantially long though.

    Hopefully this was helpful in some way... Rick

    Captiv8r ,

    No luck... with or without success caption paused the "bleed" still occurs. Any other ideas?

    Thanks,

    Hey Rbavis-

    Sometimes there are things that happen in Captivate with no good explanation.

    The situation that you described is just one of those things that Captivate will do when it compiles the .SWF file. You watch your movie - and the head scratching begins. Slides that don't transition just right, audio that doesn't sync, etc.

    When something like this happens - I start removing the culprits and then replace them with new ones.
    So you could:

    2. Verify that the caption is part of a clickbox or other interaction - if so run through the procedure that Captiv8r suggested
    3. If it IS NOT part of an interaction - check your timing on the Captivate timeline.
    4. Delete the audio and re-record it. (If that doesn't work ->)
    5. Delete the interaction and replace it with a new one. (If that doesn't work ->)
    6. Delete the slide and replace it.

    Give it a shot. I think you might have some success with this.

    Good luck!
