Can I add a time and remove the title bar in my SWF output?

We use Captivate 9. I'm publishing output as SWF.

  1. I want to add a timer to the playbar that shows the duration of my video, is this possible?
  2. Also, I want to remove title bar as I want the video not to have the web browser title bar. Is this possible?

Thanks

    Depending on how the video is inserted, you can customize a playbar to do this. I use the play at with the Captivate logo and replace it with variables. Also there is a way to open a window without a title bar. You need a blank page to open the course with JavaScript.

    RodWard​ hit the mark above with 1), not many options to customize the Cp playbar.

    I wanted to add an alternative approach for 2).

    If you create your own HTML page displaying the video, you can control the size and other attributes - including the page title - that you can't control directly from Cp.  Just launch it in a _new or _blank window, and link to the page on a webserver or from the LMS.

    You will have difficulty tracking completion of the video, unless you code in some javaScript to communicate back to the LMS / Cp file, but this control comes at a cost.

    I don't think this is going to be your day.

    1.  If you use the Captivate TOC you have the option of displaying the elapsed and total time at the bottom, but not if all you have is the playbar.

    2.  There are lots of things about the web browser that are not really within your control.  Some things can be added or removed if you are using a window.open(); javascript link to launch the browser window.  But aside from that, most other things are either beyond control or only able to be set by the end user in their own browser settings.
