I have done an online tutorial using captivate1.0. its a simple slide by slide animation, where one slide fades out and another fades in.

Now my problem is, that how do I know if anyone is completing my courses? Is there a way I can exeture JS on the slide load? because I cant do it on a click of a button..because user is not clicking anything to go on to the next slide.

or is there any other way of tracking the slide played on a perticular movie?

please help.

Hi Rick,
thanks for the info and pointer to the demo page. I am publishing to exe so this is clearly not a feature I can utilise.

Regarding the use of variables, the help topic in Captivate 1 titled "Controlling Captivate movies with variables" says the following:

> You can control Captivate movies with variables that can be set on the Timeline.

The help does not however reveal the means by which variables can be 'set on the timeline'. I have checked all the menu entries and left-clicked, right-clicked, double-clicked all over the place on the timeline but to no avail.

Hi HansHatton

It is my personal opinion that the Captivate help topic you cited is woefully misleading. It seems to imply that, well golly gee, you can actually pop something right there on the Captivate timeline and use it. It's there plain as day, don't you see it?

Unless I'm mistaken, what they are referring to here is the Flash timeline.

If you want to see an example of using JavaScript in a HTML page to control a captivate movie using these variables, I've got one up that you can look at by clicking here.

To see how this all works, you should be able to right click the HTML page and choose "View Source" from your browser.

Cheers... Rick

In Captivate 1, you may use LMS to track the data, or alternatively you can create a animation (SWF) in flash, which will pass the data to a java script function, over each slide load. To track the current slide load, you may use captivate variables, which you can learn from the changing timeline chapter in help file.

In case of Captivate 2 (if you plan to upgrade :)), you can set different javascript commands to execute after each slide. Making life easy for you :)

thanks
