Questions

I'm using Captivate 2019, I'm a beginner. I am planning a bunch of short answer quizzes in my project. This module has two so I ran into the problem where the results slide totals both quizzes instead of having individual results for each quiz. I solved this with the first quiz (multiple choice) by having a popup shape on the last question that gives people options and that worked ok. When it gets to the last question on the second quiz (short answer), again I made a smart shape pop up after the person answers that gives them choices to start the module over, look at the answer key etc but I can't move the short answer field behind the pop up. There are a couple of elements that had this same issue where they were on top (the questions 1 of 1 and response area) but I just moved things around so it wouldn't conflict. On the short answer quiz, there isn't anywhere I can move the response box where it doesn't look bad. I'm attaching pictures of the project with timeline and what it l

Hiya, I was sent a captivate file via we transfer, I have downloaded it and tried to open after extract all and it won't open up, I keep getting an error message, can anyone help me with the problem?

Hi, From olders posts (5 to 8 years ago), I've read that it was not possible at the time to install Captivate onto an external hard drive. Does anyone know if this is possible now? The idea is that I install it on my portable SSD (that's 2TB) and run it from there instead of my laptop. My local drive is 237GB but only has 98GB free (It's my work laptop). I'm hoping that this would allow the program to run faster.

Hello,  I have a problem when I publish my project, and when I'm previewing it too.

I want to create a master slide, but I don't have the Master Slide View option. I can't find the Master Slide View option. However, I can see the Reset Master Slide. Does anyone know how to get the Master Slide View option or how to activate it? Thank you.

HI team. I being an E-Learning content developer in an organization have recently got a new project for me from our old client which has become a challenge for me. Coming to the issue, the client has given me an old module that has been previously made to work on Adobe flash player. As Adobe has removed the flash player support, that module is no longer working. As the client wants that module to work again, I've recreated the module by using the screen recording of the old module and recreating it on captivate. While I try to preview it on captivate tool, the module is working perfectly and there is no issue and I was able to reach the last slide without any issue. But when I publish the file to LMS, after few slides it is giving me errors on random slides which redirects me to the initial slide. I've tried and checked all the possible options and published the file again, but still getting the same error. If the issue is coming at a particular slide, I could have check

HiI have started using the Advanced Answer Show Feedback message in my modules, and it all works perfectly. The issue I am having with this option is that the Feedback message stays on the screen until the learner clicks to make it disappear, and then they must click Next to go to the next slide.  People are complaining about having to click twice on quiz slides to advance to the next slide. Is there a method, or some scripting, that can allow the Feedback message to stay on the screen for a few seconds, then disappear on its own, so the learner only has to click once on the Next button to advance to the next slide. I personally dont mind clicking the slide twice, but I have 1,000 learners who mind. Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.  I am trying to get our Flu 2021 Campaign kicked-off. Deb 🙂

I'm using Captivate 6 to create a html5 project in which I use the new "short aswer question" feature. Inside the html5 file the text box for the short anser is covering the correct/ incorrect captions for this question. The feedback text for this question is very big so I cannot make smaller caption boxes. I've already tried to "move to front" the captions and to "send to back" the text  box inside the master slide for the questions but without any result. I looks like the z-index of the text box for the answer is always bigger thant the one for the captions.Anyone has a solution for this issue?Thank you very much!

Bringing this up because the last thread on this same topic was 2014. Has anyone had success uploading an HTML5 Captivate project to a Google Site? I am trying to load interactive learning modules to a newly created company Google Sites page, and I am not having much luck, even following the recommended workflow listed in the 2014 post. Has anyone had recent successes, or have any tips to work with Google Sites to make this work for our organization?

Hello everyone!I have this project with 10 slides and I want to use a Shared Action. Each slide is a cutomized question where the user plays an audio twice. I have managed to create the advanced action for the first slide, as follows:_var_audio= with default value of 2;Then, the conditionIf _var_audio==1;play = selected audioDecrement  _var_audio by 1;disable = selected button (there is one play button on each slide; each with a different name).hide = selected button ElsePlay = selected audioDecrement  _var_audio by 1 1. On the second slide, I tried to reset the variable _var_audio on an enter slide by incrementing it to 2 (didn't work).2. Should I create a variable for each audio on each slide? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.    

I have a captivate project, which when previewed on my computer works fine. However, when try to upload it to an LMS site that works with SCORM, the published html5 can't be uplodaded. A way to uplodad files is compressing them. I have tried the following: 1. I published it as zip file, which seems ok, but when uploading it a SCORM validator message comes up. 2. Published it as HTML5 and then compress it. On my side (Mac), I can't compress it due to a undefined error 0. Any suggestions or ways to solve this issue. Thanks in advance. 

Hello all,When I try to add a drag and drop question, I receive the following error: Failed to create key SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Presenter\11.0.This occurs if I try to create both a graded and a survey question. This also does not happen when attempting to create any other question types (True False, Multiple Choice, etc.).If anyone can assist me in fixing this, I would greatly appreciate it!Cheers,Kelly

Hello,We have a software demo where the user follows along. On one slide they are to press the backspace key. The slide is very simple. It is a screen shot of the software and then after they hit the backspace key the 'on success' is jump to next slide.The action works in edge, but does not work in firefox. Thanks in advance.

I've recorded several software simulations and now want to have multiple actions accepted as correct in Training/ Assessment mode. For example, to select, you may click the selection, then click the OK button, or double click the selection. Currently it only validates the option I used in recording the simulation (as expected)

Do I need to download Creative Cloud to use ADobe Captivate? If so, are there other things I should also download to get the most out of Captivate? I work for a company that is just starting ELEarning and I am learning too.Thank you

Hi,Following the Adobe Captivate workshop held recently, i downloaded the latest trial version. As I work on the Responsive project, I am unable to:1. create child fluid boxes, the fluid box option disables itself. So I cant do a 3 step hierarchy... even though its was demonstrated in the workshop.2. I cant covert an image to a button either, that option is missing too, though it was shown in the demoI have enabled the custom workspaces option, but its still the same. Is this because I am working with a trial version? 

In my Captivate 2019 project I have custom "next" and "previous" buttons. They are programmed to pause the timeline, so learners can take their time reading the content before clicking "next". I have a TOC with navigation enabled. I'd like learners to be able to navigate back and forth between slides through the TOC if they want to. However, when I click a slide through the TOC, the buttons disappear and the timeline does not stop. I attached a video to show what is happening. I had to censor the content of the slides, but I am sure you can still notice the custom next and previous button disappearing, and the timeline continuing.

Hi all, When translating the XML export in SDL Trados, there are many formatting tags that make the text difficult to translate. Can anyone advise how these can be excluded when exporting the XML from Captivate?
