Questions

I was testing whether my course was getting properly bookmarked by my LMS yesterday, and ran into the following problem:I have a 5-question quiz, I answered questions 1 and 2, got feedback on question 2, and then closed my browser.  When I restarted the course, the LMS did, in fact, bookmark where I stopped correctly, BUT I was now on an answered question with no way to go forward because I couldn't re-answer and re-submit. While I don't anticipate a lot of students quitting the course 3 slides before the end, browsers and computers do crash, so some of them could find themselves in the same situation.  So, what is the best way to allow the students to move forward when this happens? I thought about adding the built-in "skip" button, but then I worry about what would happen if students click on it BEFORE they answer a question - then I'd also need to allow students to move backwards, which we really don't need otherwise and were hoping to avoid.Our specs: 5 questions, MC/TF,

Dear community members,it's my first post here and I hope, someone of you can answer my question. Thanks in advance for reading and thinking about a possible solution: I have created a project in Captivate importing a PowerPoint presentation. For switching back and forth through the pages I use a default playbar from the Skin Editor with the required buttons. The possibility to navigate to the next pages by mouse click in the click field is deactivated. So I want the Users to only use the playbar for navigation. The Project has been zipped and uploaded to a LMS. The settings of the project are, that the users have to watch 10 out of 14 pages to successfully complete the course.The problem is now: Using Microsoft Edge, watching at least 10 pages and close the browser window won't turn the course to "complete". I still get an "incomplete" trying different scenarios in MS Edge.The only possible option getting the course completed is watching at least 10 pages and close the windo

We are using a different play icon and poster image for our 16 simulation modules.  It works correctly on 12 of the 16 modules.  On the other 4, is shows the standard Captivate play icon.  We have republished, cleared the cache on the server and browsers and still get the variance.  It shows correctly when playing the published content locally on a computer in a browser. I have attached a screen shot showing the difference in the CSS code for each. I'm hoping someone knows what is happening in the publishing process or web hosting environment to cause the difference.ThanksMike L.

I want to put some navigation into a random question slide, but all the options are grayed out.  Any idea how I can edit these slides?Thanks in advance!

Through searching I see there are a lot of issues, but support is closed on the weekend. So hoping someone has ideas...  I can't seem to install Captivate other than trial version, and there is no license information in my account that i am able to locate to activate said trial. I already downloaded one trial and it's expired. There is no link in my purchase confirmation email, just an order number.  In my account the download link for captivate points to the creative cloud apps which Captivate is not even a part of (See screenshot - the link address is https://www.adobe.com/go/account-download-cc )  Looking through similar community posts, this seems to be an issue several people are having, for some time now.  

I put audio in a button that's supposed to play when pressed (and it does).  But it's also playing from the beginning of the slide, even when all the tracks in the timeline are hidden.Any idea how I have the audio only play when the button is pushed?Thanks in advance!

Odd question alert! I have a Captivate quiz (version 2019). I load it to the LMS, and a student takes and completes the quiz. I can run a SCORM 2004 report in the LMS which shows each question along with what the user selected and whether or not it was correct. However, the report shows the Quiz Question Description as one of the fields (the first column), and the values in that field do not match up with the actual questions in Captivate. For example, this report shows the results for this particular question with ID 361077:This LMS report tells me the question for 361077 is "The imaging tab in Chart Review will show canceled imaging exams." However in Captivate, when I look at the question slide for item 361077, the question is actually "When reconciling PTA medications, choose..." as you can see in this screenshot. So it is basically like Captivate is not sending the correct question text to the LMS. How do I change this in Captivate so that it sends the correct Question T

I am creating a presentation where I only want a slide to be seen if someone answers a questions incorrectly. I created an action to jump to the slide, if the question is answered incorrectly. However, the slide is still showing in the course. How do I hide the slide otherwise, so it only shows if the question is answered incorrectly.Also, I have navigation buttons for each slide. However, when I render there is still a times presentation. How do I make the presentation click through only?I am a newbie, and would appreciate the help.Kathleen

We have some old Captivate courses running on our LMS that are in a zipped format. Unfortunately, we are unable to locate the source .CPTX files that were used to create them due to the loss of a server. Is there a way to reverse-engineer CPTX files out of a zipped files? Even if it isn't 100% effective if it saves us having to recreate the courses from scratch, that would be great. Thank you.

Hello everyone,Is there a recommended online series of courses or certification to become skilled in Adboe products? Who are the providers ? Easiest platforms for self learning? Thank you!

I'm trying to build a course that will be deployed on a microsite (independent of an LMS). I'd like to have the slides made as a series of short videos, but there are performance concerns if they are put in the course as Progressive Downloads. If I use my company's Youtube account, can I use videos set to Unlisted? I tried a test from my personal Youtube and got an error message from Captivate saying the video needed to be public. This is just not acceptable for the course as it has proprietary information. What are the limitations of Captivate and Youtube links?

I have created a project for an LMS and inserted the checkbox widget in Adobe Captivate, have it laid out and designed the way I want it. Once I finished the whole project, I published a video on my local computer as well as HTML5 / SWF project to be uploaded to the LMS. When I go to watch the video and play the interactive project with Google Chrome, The slide in the video with the checkbox widget will only show the slide background and the separate titles I have created, but all the checkbox sections won't show up at all for the entire slide. I tried playing the video in Internet Explorer and Firefox as well to test it out, and still, have the same issue. There are not any advanced tools in the widget menu (that I can see) for me to adjust beyond the words I want to show, font and size, layout and the ability to add or remove extra checkboxes, so I am not sure what else I can do. I am working with Captivate version 11.5.0.476, on a PC laptop running Windows 10 Enterprise. I have

Hello--I have several software simulations created in Captivate 9 and published as executable files. Will these executable files work in 2021 when Flash is discontinued for many browsers?  If the files won't work in 2021, what do you suggest for preserving these files if that's possible. Thank you for any help you can providePatty

I republished a few project that I made with and old version of Captivate. I republished using the trial version. After the trial version expired, I had a legend on my online projects. I purchased the full version, republished a project and still says: This project has expired.  How can I remove and make my projects visible again?Is this something that authomatically be removed after a few days?  

I have created a project within Captivate using a number of YouTube videos.  When I preview the project using the “HTML5 in Browser” option, the course runs as I would expect – videos automatically start, buttons are usable, etc.I need to publish this course within Captivate Prime, so I have tried 2 methods:1) Publishing directly to Prime2) Publishing as an HTML5 to my computerWhile both “publish” without issues, when I preview the content, the videos do not automatically play.  The slide timing is the same as video is supposed to be, but it does not play…I am a beginner who is learning through trial-and-error and webinars, and it isn’t working..

In the past we have always been able to link to documents in our IBM Notes database stored on our company's servers. However, this no longer works when publishing to HTML5. The message displays telling you to copy the files to the output folder. I can't, obviously, copy the file and I can't copy the URL since to the Callee folder since the link does not have an extension. Here's a n example notes://<server name>/<document identifier).notes is the shortcut that launches the database.  The errors range from Request Not Processed and Not Found. The URL at the top of the screen lists our Adobe Connect published project URL followed by default/ and immediately by the link to the database, so http://<Adobe Connect server URL/<module URL>/default/notes://<notes server name>/document identifer.  So it looks like it's trying to find the link in our Adobe Connect realm and not launching notes from our actual computers. I was trying to se

I've been using Captivate since early this year. Now I started working on a new project but upon opening Captivate it's asking me to register my serial number, which I was never given, or start my 30-day trial. Upon searching the forum and google, I only found the solution to start the trial again and it would then register my Adobe Account. But it doesn't seem to be doing that. Does anyone have an idea of how to make captivate realize that I do have a proper license?

Hello, I'm creating some quizzez and I would like to set all questions to have 3 attempts and after Last Attempt -> Go to the next slide. Is there any way to set it automatically and not have to change it individually on all slides?

There is a random submit button showing up on a slide. It looks like the one from a text entry object, . It only shows up when published. There is no text entry box in the timeline. This submit button does not show up in the timeline. How can I get rid of it?Another issue:When I get to the quiz results, it won't let me go back. I am using the built in player navigation.

I have Mac OS 10.12 and 10.15 devices . I need to install Captivate 8 on them. IS it possible? If not, what would be your recommendation

I am creating a responsive project with justified text. When I preview the project on an iPhone the text is indented to the left. This is the same when I publish the project to SCORM 1.2 and view it in the Moodle LMS. Another problem that might be related to this is with custom fonts on iOS. I'm importing 2 with javascript but they are only displayed on desktop, on iPhone I get some serif font instead.
