Questions

Is it possible to create a "fill in the blank" question slide with more than one word?In other words, a question like, "The most popular pets are _____ and ______ ." (With the correct answers being "dogs" and "cats.")I've seen some old posts about this, but nothing recent - and I'm hoping there's a solution now in Captivate 8.Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! I'm learning - slowly!Keith

There is a Captivate project with Animate animations in it.  These animations play when the project is hosted on Internet Explorer but do not appear when the project is played in Chrome.  The developers wanted to delay the Captivate next button until the animation finished and added the following code to the project-  window.parent.parent.window.cpAPIInterface.pause();window.parent.parent.window.cpAPIInterface.play();Would appreciate any ideas on how to fix this.Thank you,Susan

Hello, Currently our staff is using Captivate 2017.  We are in discussion on upgrading to the latest version of Captivate.  Some member are hesitant on upgrading.  What have been your experience with the upgrade?  We have approximately 250 courses in our catalogue.  Looking for advise, lesson learned, or tips.Thanks in advance.

I am unable to install Adobe Captivate 2019 on my Mac OS Catalina.  After downloading the file twice thinking it was corrupted, I still get the following error message: "The Installation cannot continue as the installer file may be damaged. Download the installer file again.".  Though I have done that, I keep getting the same error.

I have set up an advanced option to email to an address on submission with the text boxes I wanted to see in the same option, but how do I capture the text entered by the student in that email?

I have been trying to add a png image from the library to a fluid box that already contains one image. Instead of adding the image and resizing both images, this move overwrites the original image with the new image. If I want to get the desired result, I have to drag the image from the library to another (empty) fluid box and then drag it into the desired fluid box. I feel like I'm missing something really simple, but I don't know what. Please help.

Hello!! I have  strange question. I have a widget that is attached to a fluid box but when I preview it, it goes out of the slide view...Here is in progress:And here it is in preview:It completely covers up the left bar and next button.Has this happened to anyone before? Thank you!!!!!

I did a search of the forums and this question was never really answered in 2018, so here it is again. Is the ability to restart a completed SCORM course a function, or setting in the LMS or is it authored into the SCORM? We use TalentLMS and want our users to have the ability to go back and retake courses whenever they want. Bookmarking was mentioned in a discussion as was looping. But apparently looping does just that-it won't ever let the user out of the module. Any help appreciated.

Where can I download Captivate software is this available from Creative Clouds?

I just got an invite to access my departments Adobe Capitvate but it doesn't seem to want to acticate the license. Invite email says to sign in to the email and download captivate but it's not licensing and I've been using the free trial but it's about to expire.

I accidently selected that I do not want the text box to maintain the style when I copy and paste text into a text box. Now every time I paste text into a text box i have to change the style to be the original style within the text box. Time comsuming ad annoying. How do I fix it so I can have the text box maintain the original style no matter what the style is in the copied text?

Has anyone else noticed that not all of their published projects show up in the Web Projects section of Adobe Fonts? For me, it's kind of hit-or-miss whether they show or not. It's causing font issues for my projects, as I have to go in and edit them for specific language subsets. Basically, I click on the fons icon in my CC app, choose "discover more" and a webpage opens to the fonts typekit. I click on "My Adobe Fonts" then "Web Projects." From there I can select the files I need to edit and add the language subsets. Now, most of the time the captivate files I've published show up there as published projects. But since yesterday at noon, none of the files I've published are showing in my web projects. I have logged out of CC, both online and the app, restarted, signed back in, and re-published, and they're still not there. This is infuriating! Has anyone experience this, and if you have, were you able to resolve it?

I have created a help page that can be accessed from any slide (action: jump to slide). When you are on the help page you can close it by clicking the close button and then you go back to the slide you came from (action: go to last visited slide). This works fine, but when I close the module when I am on the help page and open it again in the LMS, this action no longer works and I am stuck on the help page. Is there a way to remember/save 'the last visited slide' (the one before the help page) when I close the module on the help page or a way I can make sure that if 'go to last visited slide' doesn't work you go back to the main menu or something?

I noticed several comments in threads related to previous versions of Captivate that it wasn't possible for Captivate to allow a user to remember where they left off in a project and return to that point when they come back to it at a later time. Has this feature been updated at all to be available in the most recent version of Captivate?Would like to find out a way to do this if possible.Thanks very much,Whitney

Hey everyone,  I posted a question back in September that was answered by Lieve Weymeis but I am unable to reply back to that post for some reason.  To get to the point Lieve mentioned that Captivate has the ability to do Popups on a layer (timeline panel) similar to the way Storyline handles it.  If you are seeing this Lieve could you perhaps explain further?  Does anyone else have any knowledge of how to do this?  Storyline is so easy to add a layer and hide info below it from screen readers.  It was also mentioned that "Slide audio can be paused on content slides when you have a pausing point."    Pausing Point? How is this done?  Thanks for any help that you can provide with these two issues. 

I'm using a Responsive project in Captivate 11.5, 2019 latest update. I have a screen that lets the user choose from 1 of 5 business person images (avatars) to navigate thru the course.  The next screen shows the avatar that the user picked.  I created 5 different states using five different images of business people (avatars). When I change the pictures in the State view, they keep getting distored.  They get narrower or wider and they don't look correct.  If they are unlocked from the fluid box, they work fine.  Once I put them in the fluid box some of them distort. Thank you for your help!Larry

Do certain backgrounds/lighting work better for the Green Screen in Presenter?  I'm about to try the software for the first time. I have a white backdrop screen with softbox lighting on the backdrop and other light on myself.  Is this likely to lead to good results, or does backdrop and traditional screen lighting have different impact in this environment?  Are any backdrop colors better or worse for high level end product?

Hi all,I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of days and am about to give up, so you are my last hope.I have built a quiz, with 4 slides, each loading a random question slide from a bank of 4 question pools (each with 4 slides, making 16 slides that can be randomly loaded)On the quiz slides I cannot set states for the answers to change the font colour dynamically.I have been asked to add accessibility to the quiz for people with different needs, I can simply change everything to high contrast black and white, with a large simple font. But they want to give the students the opportunity to change the font colour to their preference.Any suggestions?Kind regards,Mark

I am using Captivate 2019, publishing to Absorb LMS with Scorm 1.2. I have created a course that has 5 lessons. Inside each lesson are custom question slides (I designed them) and content/topic slides. The goal is for the learner to answer every question correctly (there are 75 questions). When they answer a question correctly, they get the "Next" button. They cannot move forward without a correct answer. On every question slide, they can click "Topic Review" button, which will help them learn about the topic to correctly answer the question. My dilemma is completion -- if I set the Quiz Preferences to, let's say, 40% of Slide Views, the learner can skip an entire lesson and be marked as complete in the LMS. How can I force them to complete all questions in each lesson and be able to SKIP all the topic slides if they don't need the review?

I can't edit the mousepoints. If i open the DropdownMenu "Edit" all points are light grey and i can't select. Can you please tell me why? What can I do?

Ever since Microsoft pushed Edge out as a primary browser, I need to figure out a workaround for the Glossary widget for an acronym screen .  Scenario:A number of buttons is on the screen. Each button consists of 2 states:An acronym (default) state.Clicking the acronym will reveal the meaning of the acronym.  This state of the button will need to persist if the user leaves the screen and then returns.(I don't need any help counting how many acronyms have been clicked to enable a "Next Screen" button) I'm getting hung  up on what type of buttons, what actions (if any) to use, etc.  I could have 30 or 40 of these on a screen.  I figured using one button and different states would be easier than click boxes, etc.Many thanks in advance!

Hello. I am using adobe captivate 9 and I want to enable the option for a certificate of completion at the end of the course.  I have tried to create a new slide at the end, then click on Interactions, and then learning interactions.  However I don't know how the user can insert the name so it will appear on the certificate. 

Hello,I have a single button on a slide.  Every time the user clicks it, an additional text caption should show.  My original idea was to hide all of the captions, create a variable to keep track of how many times the user has clicked the button, and when the button was clicked, check to see how many times it has already been clicked, and show the appropriate next caption.  This approach would require multiple if statements because depending on how many times the button was clicked, a different caption would be shown.Based on my preliminary research, this was not possible in 2012.Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi there,I have an elearning file that contains different "streams" depending on what the person's role is at my organization. If they are Stream 1, they do quiz 1, stream 2 does quiz 2, and stream 3 does stream 3.Because I had some issues with the quiz, I switched the passing grade to slides viewed, as opposed to some score % on the quiz.However, I learned that even though I published the file with the pass as slides viewed, my learners are still receiving a score based on the quiz. The issue is even though the learners take only 1 out of 3 quizzes in the file, they still see a % score based on the total number of quiz slides.For instance, quiz 1 takes up 40% of the total # of quiz slides. So, if someone answers all the questions correctly, they see on the LMS a pass (for viewing slides) and a score of 40% (because they answered 40% of the quiz slides). I don't want them seeing 40% score, I want them to just see that they passed. Can anyone help with this? Thanks
