Closed Captioning and Objects

Hi All,

I am using Cap 9 with most current updates. I have a few slides that have action scripts to go to one slide and then go back to the main menu. The audio tells the user to click on the next area when returning to the main menu. The audio is attached to some click boxes. How would I add CC to click boxes or other objects or other ideas?

Thank you All..

If it's HTML 5 you can execute this JavaScript in an advanced action along with playing the audio.

var myCCDiv = wp.document.getElementById("'ccText").getElementsByTagName("p" )[0];

myCCDiv.innerHTML="Enter the CC text here."

You won't be able to time it this way. You could if you played the audio with JavaScript also.

The normal CC work flow is only for Slide audio, not for object audio.

You can create text containers with the text, and show them when the CC button is clicked. But that will not work with the CC button on default playbars, you'll need to create a custom CC button, and attach an advanced action to the Success event of that button.

Oh my gosh, that's crazy! I have so many advanced actions that trigger audio...and I can't add closed captions to that? This is a pretty big setback to the lengthy courses I'm in development on now. When will Adobe be fixing this feature? (Because this does constitute something that is broken...not just an inconvenience! If Captivate is going to bill itself as "top notch" when it comes to accessibility, then developers shouldn't have to create a hack to work around something as simple as closed captions for all audio!!)
