Hi Captivate Community! I should be able to make a slide video (controlled by Captivate) pause and then when the user interacts wwith a simple button, it will play. But that won't work, and I believe I've observed that the video will continue again after a brief pause on revisit.  So I added bookmarks and am having more success. Still, I wish there was a better way. I know about workarounds and use them. Maybe someone knows of a good workaround?

Hi! I just downloaded Adobe Captivate with the 30 days free trial to evaluate this application to create VR courses for a LMS platform. So far I think is simple to use and intuitive, but I'm trying to export the VR Demo to preview it on my Android phone and it's not working properly on Chrome. I scan the QR with my phone and go to the provided url to see the demo and it's not moving the 3D image with the movement of the phone. I press the "ENTER VR" button and the size of the image is smaller than expected, the "settings" icon doesn't work and as I said, the image is not moving with the movement of the phone. I have to move it with my fingers.  Is it possible to export VR courses and make it work with Android and/or iOS devices? Thanks!

Is it possible to add/publish elearning videos developed in Camtasia to Captivate Prime?

HelloI am wondering if someone might know the answer to this. I have a drag and drop interaction. Currently once you place a drag source on a drop target, you are able to place another drag on top of it, and so on. Is there a way to make sure a new drag replaces the old one, instead of being stacked on top?

Hello, I know this questions was asked aout 6 years ago, but I wondered if there has been any progress. I have two Captivare 2019 zip files that were created by a teammate that is no longer with the company. I need to update the large projects, but all I have is the zip file (HTM) is there any way to convert the contents of the zipfile to .CPTX?  I am hoping the answer is yes (weak smile) ... help! 

Hi,Im here on a 30 day trial to see if Captivate fits my companies needs. We make interactive video elearning. Our needs are simple but specific. We try to never "leave the film" and make it seamless. All programmers now busy for a few months we needa fast tool to quickly replace them for a bit.I launched Captivate with the intention of attempting a simple demo. In my view, nothing too hard.1. play a video2 pause on final frame3 display 2 or more exercise buttons over final frame (OK if I have ot kludge a work around here, using a png of final frame, used to that) OR even better, display a "loop video" as the background of the exercise.4. User chooses a button, depending on which a new video plays, a different video per button.5. Simple abilities to show a text page and a quiz, and Im done.I was stumped at the first hurdle...I imported my forst video... and cant find it, just a black screen... I have to drag and scroll about using the scroll bars and there it is, half off some kin

Hello everyone,  I have a problem 😞 I pay every month and I still do not have access to AI,There's always the 7 days left on top ... it's weird because I have a monthly fee.I'm paying but can't use, I do not understand and when I try to delete, the AI itselft is not deletable  Thanks friends, 

I've got an image I've made for users getting the question right.  Currently I've got a single action script that plays a 'ding' sound, pauses for a couple seconds and then jumps back to the main question board.  It works great, and I just use that one script on the 'On Success' action for all 25 questions. Easy peasy.  Now we've decided it would be nice to add an image in case folks have their sound turned down, and the built-in "correct" text boxes just don't cut it visually despite best efforts to make them pretty enough.   I figured if I imported my new image into the library, I'd be able to place it on each slide and 'hide' or 'show' based on what's happening, and just add that line to my little script.Except when I drag the image to a slide from the library, it changes the name and instead of "Correct Bubble", it's now "Image_16", then "Image_17", etc... making it impossilbe to do this one one script.  Now I need 25 different scripts that all do exac

We need to develop a certificate that participants can download/print after completing a quiz. But we only want those who score an 80% or above to get the certificate. I have no idea how to set this up or what variables to use. The course will be uploaded to the Prime LMS. I tested a certificate in there and the variable I used does automatically show the user's name, but the course name does not appear. I've tried two different variables for that. One should appear when I enter the course name in the Project Info sheet. I did that but the course name still does not appear where I placed the text box variable $$cpQuizInforCourseName$$ on the certificate thinking it would pull the course name from Prime but it does not. I also tried using the other variable that pulls from the Project Info course name and that did not work either. What are the steps to get the course name to appear (ideallly by pulling it from Prime) and how to I set it up so that only people who score 80% get a ce

Hi,I have created a quiz with 4 multiple choice questions that shows a correct check mark graphic once the correct answer is selected using actions. Right now this just works on the first question.How do i reuse this this check mark for the next questions? Is there a way to do this without using unique names for the checkmark on each quiz question?Thanks.

Hello all, So, I am a bit of a novice with Captivate.My project gives viewers an option to go back and review any 1 of 5 sections in the lesson before taking a quiz. I want a button that lets them skip to the end of the lesson to appear at the end of each section, but ONLY if they're reviewing the slide a second time. This way, they can review a single section without having to sit through every section after it.I have been too anxious to play around with variables or advanced actions, but I suspect this is what needs to be done to build this kind of button. Any guidance would be much appreciated, thank you!!

I'm having a similar problem to others I've seen posted. Just created a cp file and can't open it. When you double-click the file, Captivate launches but only goes to the opening screen. You can see the slides from this file when you try to import it into a blank movie, but nothing happens when you select import. The file has maybe 100 or so slides and no audio. The following error message appears: Access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000. Any help would be appreciated. I would hate to have to recreate the file. Thanks, Jim

I operate Captivate 7 on Windows 8. Recently Win8 auto updated some features over the night. Ever since then, whenever I try to publish my captivate course files, I get an error saying it can't publish them because the file name or extension are too long. The update added yet another layer of folders to sift through, so I thought that was the problem. I changed the default publish location to my desktop, but I am still getting the same error. See attached screen shot. Any help on this one? I need to get these published and off to a customer asap. Thanks, Arthurside note: after giving me this error and clicking ok, it does go on to publish the course. The big question, then, is what is this error telling me and why is it popping up? I can't afford to have some internal issue cause the course not to play for my customers.

hello  I am looking for a javascript I can use that will allow me to use the standard playbar forward button to jump to a specific slide for branching. 

Is Adobe Captivate part of my CC subscription?

We developed a SCORM 1.2 file to load into our Learning Management System (Saba Cloud / Cornerstone on Demand).  The file is published as HTML5 only (no SWF). The file has clickable boxes, buttons and links.  Some appear to open to the designated URL(s) when clicked and some do not.   Has anyone experienced this and what was yout solution?  Thank you.

First time posting, and I could not seem to locate an answer.  Through my search, it seems many of the posts were from before the DD/MM/YYYY format became available.  My question is this:  Is there a way to format the dat to include the leading zero (for single digit days and months such as 08/02, for the eigth of February.  Anytime I see DD/MM/YYYY, I'm expecting it to read 2 digits/2 digits/4 digits.  I'm not sure if that's something I got used to in Microsoft Excel.  I thought it may be an Adobe convention, but Adobe Acrobat offers a number of formats that include the leading zero.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

How long are the default slide transitions set to. Do they last 1 second?

Looks like this documentation on the adobe site was update in 2021, but does not correlate with Mac perhaps? I just need to disable mouse click sounds. How is that accomplished now?
