Questions

Hi,I'm able to open Adobe Captivate, but I'm not able to edit my slides. A black and grey screen is covering the slides and the slides disappear behind it. If I select an element from any of the slides. The slide disappears. I closed and re-opened Adobe Captivate. I opened a new project and copy and pasted the slides, but it seems like that this is a problem across the whole program. I hope somebody can help me. This is very frustrating as it holds me back from finishing a project for a client.

I have added an interaction to a blank slide which is a dropdown for information. The slide plays the audio intro and then the widget promptly disappears. I have adjusted the timing with all four choices (Specific Time, Rest of Slide, Rest of Project, and Duration of Animation). Within timing, I also adjusted from 5 seconds to 9999 seconds. None of those seem to help the widget from disappearing after the audio track plays. Screenshot is attached. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Hi everyone Is it possible to hide all content slides when allowing multply attempts at a quiz, I have around 10 modules in a elearning package and each has a 2-3 question quiz after the module and I would like to be able to let the delegate retake either the entire course which i would just use a button and reset the quiz via javascript and jump to start slide or just retake the quiz without content slides showing inbetween the quiz question. Is this possible and could anyone give me some guidance in doing so. Michael 

I do not understand why there are these black box arrows. They are just normal text boxes. What is going on? Please help! 

I have a captivate project that was created from powerpoint that isn't filling the browser window when publishing to HTML5.  I have attached a picture.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am new to Captivate so I apologize if this question is absurdly simple or if it has been answered somewhere else in the Forum. I am trying to create a responsive project that consists of a single, graded, multiple-choice question with an explanation for each answer.  (The learner can only take the quiz once.) There will be 40 individual projects (approximately 1/week allowing for holidays, etc.) If the learner answers teh question  incorrectly, I want a slide explaining why that response is incorrect to be the first thing they see after submitting the answer.   A simple example would be: Question: What is the first letter of the alphabet?Answers: A, B, C, D If the user selects “B,” I would like the learner to go to a slide that says “B is the second letter of the alphabet.”  The learner would then progress through slides with the other three explanations.  (“A is the first letter of the alphabet.” “C is the third letter of the alphabet.” “D is

I am using a test-account and tried to modify a drag an drop template - it is the one wirh the light bulb an the puzzle pieces. In the filmstrip on the right I can see, that there are textfields for feedback as a  following slide, but I can not find them to use them for my own text. Sorry, I am a very beginner. Hope you understand the problem. Martina    

I am super frustrated with Captivate right now.I had a bunch of issues with videos no longer working, so I deleted captivate and then re-downloaded it. Now when I open my project, I can't get the slides to center on the stage.I have changed the magnification to 66% and then I see it but it is in the lower half of the screen.When I center it and then click on the slide to edit content it disappears completely. Captivate help is closed on the weekends and I have to edit this project by Monday.Can anyone help? 

I’m in the process of creating some basic learning demos for staff and I’m trying to apply an animation where the outline of a rectangle/box appears as if it’s been drawn over the area where I’m showcasing (similar to what you see in other training demos for how to use captivate).  Haven’t been able to come across how I would achieve this and any help is much appreciated! Thanks

Hi everyone, Is it possible to change the cursor when a user rolls over the PLAY button when starting a course?  I of course have "Include Mouse" selected in the Publish settings.  This turns on mouse cursor cnages in the course itself but a little surpised that it does not turn it on for the PLAY button.  Any ideas?  I would assume this could be changed in the JS file but no idea where to look. Thanks!

Hi all, I've never used Captivate and am trying to determine if it will work for my needs. While I've been creating animations professionally for many years, they are primarily pre-rendered and I have limited knowledge of interactive tools. I'm wondering if Captivate can be used to make an interactive video, where the end user can do things like switch video streams on the fly, while the video continues to play (i.e. change to another camera angle), change audio channels (i.e. turn commentary on and off), and turn overlays on/off. I'm hoping all of these can be done while the video continues to play, through controls that are either always on screen, or ideally can be hidden until the user moves his/her mouse. Are these all functions that Captivate is capable of doing? Any tutorials you could point me to? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

My team has created the SCORM package with 10 quiz questions. The content is fine but after completing the quizs on LMS it shows the icon "Attempt in progress"I am wondering if it has to do with the quiz reporting setting? Thanks in advance for the advice 🙂    

I have added an accordian learning interaction to a fluid box on a responsive slide.  When editing, the accordian widget shows in its entirety and is centered in the fluid box.  However, when I preview it, the right side and bottom of the widget are cut off.  I have lost track of all of the different attempts at changing height, width, padding, fluid box positioning - after 3 hours of this I am stumped.  Also the next button, though active for the entire slide, will not jump to the slide specified in the action.  I am previewing in the latest version of Edge, which has the most recent Chromium updates, so I don't think it is an HTML5 issue.  Would anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix the positioning issue with the accordian widget, and why my Next button appears to be dead? Here is the view when editing... And here is the view when I preview...  

Hello. I have Captivate 2019 on a Mac.I am trying to make a Captivate VR project work in Google Cardboard.I opened Captivate, chose 'New Virtual Reality Project", clicked the 'Plus', and imported the 4000 px X 2000 px image. That is all.Whether I preview or publish, it works as expected in an ordinary browser window.But when I load it onto my iPhone and mount the iPhone in the 'Cardboard' viewer, I see a tilted static image that does not respond to any orientation changes.Maybe one of you knows what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

Has anyone used this plugin and gotten quizes to report passed (or failed) for xapi content on wordpress/lifter sites? The developer of the plugin is blaming captivate, but I'm pretty sure it's not captivate's fault. Any previous experience or suggestions/guidance appreciated. Thanks,  Lori

I have a lot of experience with Captivate ten years ago. Articulate and Storyline in the intervening years. The demise of Flash changes the way things work.Now I want to build some training for piano technicians. I have Captivate 2019. One question type I am trying to create is a multiple-choice question with four audio buttons, each button playing a different piano sound. Questions might be "Which of these intervals is a major sixth?" .. click button A, B, C, or D to hear the different intervals, then select answer A, B, C, or D.Quiz questions can't have interactive objects? How do I get around this?I just tried a different approach: creating an image slide with hotpots on the images of sound buttons A, B, C, and D, and attaching sounds to the hotspots. Then hotspots for each of the answers A, B, C, D, and these generate the normal "incorrect" or "correct" feedback. But I need four different sounds and it seems that the whole family of hotspots shares the same sound?There will be seve

Hi there,Would anyone be able to recommend a cheap VR Headset and 360 Camera that works well with Captivate?Thanks in advanceBobby

Hi all,Right now, the only way I see that I can share a project is through zip-condensing the captivate project file, sharing that project folder link through dropbox, then the recipient unzips the entire file and clicks on the index.html.Certainly there must be a better way to provide a project link (I hope)? The file size is too large for github, so ... help?

Hi there,I think that there is a lot of potential in Captiate's VR projects. They can be used in a lot of occasions - Onboading comes to mind immediately. However, the VR projects rely on WebGL that has some security concerns around it - interesting read here. WebGL is just not allowed in our company. I had a conversation with our Security team more than a year ago and they shared their concerns. No go. For me that means that I cannot even present a VR project to the stakeholders. I am sure it would be a success but there is no way security allows WebGL with the current concerns in place. I was wondering if someone has had similar experience, is there a way around that and and also are there any news on the approach?Thanks in advanceBobby

...Bonjour Elodie !… Et bienvenue sur Captivate !…Il existe de nombreuses solutions pour effectuer ce que tu souhaites !…(Voir : https://elearning.adobe.com/2020/11/afficher-masquer-show-hide/)En voici 2 (les plus simples…)Solution 1 :- Insère ton image sur la diapo… Donne-lui un nom particulier (“Dirlo_01” dans mon exemple) et clique sur le petit oeil juste à côté (cela la rendra invisible quand tu ouvriras la diapo…)- Crée (avec une forme ou une image) ou insère un bouton. Applique-lui l’action : si réussite => Afficher (Nom de ton image) et décoche l’option “Continuer la lecture du projet”- De la même façon, tu peux créer un bouton pour masquer ton image :Solution 2 :- Crée une action à l'ouverture de ta diapo pour masquer ton image :Et tu appliques la même action que Solution 1 pour le bouton !... Et voilà !...😉...  

Estimados colegas, saben si la versión más actuald e captivate 2019 es compatible con Big Sur de Mac?

Does anyone know if the exit command used on a last slide button would stop Catpivate from sending Complete or Passed status to the LMS? We are using xAPI and Lifter lms. Many of our courses are not reporting complete though some are, sometimes.  Any insight in to captivate complete/passed messages going to LMS and xAPI greatly appreciated. Thanks,  Lori

I've been a little surprised by something about to use javascript in captivate.If you know of any of the following issues, or if anyone has had a similar experience, I'd like to hear some information about them.All of the javascript below works perfectly fine in a typical console. (Obviously...)1.This javascript is not working.var uVarTest1 = "Hello";var uVarTest2 = "World!";alert(uVarTest1 + "\\n" + uVarTest2);2.This works.var uVarTest1 = "Hello";var uVarTest2 = "World!";alert(uVarTest1 + " " + uVarTest2);I wondered if, perhaps, I shouldn't write control code directly in the alert parameters, so I did the following.3.This doesn't work.var uVarTest1 = "Hello\\nWorld!";alert(uVarTest1);4.This works.var uVarTest1 = "Hello World!";alert(uVarTest1);I was perplexed... I also ran the following tests, just to be sure.5.This doesn't work.//This is just a comment!//Hello \n World!var uVarTest1 = "Hello World!";alert(uVarTest1);6.This works//This is just a comment!//Hello n World!var uVarTest1 =

I am unable to preview or publish (HTML) responsive Captivate v11.5.1 projects. I am using Windows 10 and tried all browsers with no luck. Additionally, I have cleared Captivate's cache and rebooted.  

Our organisation is moving from swf to HTML5 and I noticed that when I publish the projects in HTML5 they behave differently on our MLE. We have a project where the questions are just knowledge checks and don't score. We put 4 marker scores on the Continue buttons at fixed points as the user goes through. So as the user clicks the first scoring button they get 1 point so that's 25%. Once they have clicked all 4 scoring buttons, the course is complete, because it's set to Quiz is passed. Not so in HTML5, because I put a failure caption on the Continue button if the user doesn't click the Continue button but clicks somewhere else, the point isn't awarded to them even when they click it correctly. This then results in an incomplete attempt even though the user gets to the end. So you say, set it to all slides viewed, this isn't a good option for us as it doesn't always work on our MLE and network. There is a time lag and if the user goes too quickly, then the API can't keep up and again t
