Questions

I'm using Adobe Captivate 12 and have a Table of Contents slide that serves as a branching one.  Users click the image blocks to visit other slides, then return to the Table of Contents.  Once all images are clicked, the Next button populates and the user can advance.Currently the images remain in the "Normal" state when the slide is revisited.  I am using variables to get the Next button to populate, so I was trying to use those same variables to change the state of the images to "Visited" after the user has already clicked on them.I don't see any way to do this in the Slide Interactions or Object Interactions. Has anyone figured out how to do this?  

Hi All, Really stuck here and hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction.I have created a responsive HTML page which I have added as a web object to my Captivate project.  What I would like to do is call the Captivate JavaScript functions window.cpAPIInterface.....; from my HTML web object to advance the project to the next slide. This may sound unconventional but i am looking to give my project to look and feel of a website so i would have separate HTML web objects on each slide that would be linked through the Javascript calls, allowing the normal tracking of any Captivate project.Thanks

I am using Captivate Classic Version 11.8.3.8 on a Windows PC and recently the project file crashes regularly creating corrupted files (about once a week). I developed a habit of saving the poject as a new file everytime I am working on it so I am not losing too much work but for some reason, a crash leads to almost all previously saved files to be corrupted as well even though I was able to open them before. Moreover, the project is quite large (700 slides, 600MB) and simple copying/duplicating actions can take up to 10 minutes, seriously slowing down the workflow.I'd greatly appreciate some ideas what might cause that - is the project simply too large or could there be other issues with the program itself? Thanks!

HiThe height limit for a project in Captivate Classic is set to 3200.I wonder if its a way to increse this. Change a systemfile or something like that.This is not a thread where we discuss why, or talk about the weird offspring called All new captivate.Simply, is their a way to go beyond the project size limit in Captivate Classic

Hi everyone.  I am trying to add some character poses to my Adobe 12 project.  For some reason each of the characters (29) is saying they have 0 poses.  I saw them a couple of weeks ago, but for some reason they are not available to use at all.  My first thought was that the folder they live in was moved or corrupted or something, but I am unable to find the folder that the assets live in.  I don't know if the install is corrupted or something, but I'm kind of stuck until I can correct this.Any help someone can provide would be very appreciated. Thanks

Hola, a todos y muchas gracias por la ayuda. Tengo Captivate 2019 y solo he realizado un proyecto hasta ahora y ha sido un infierno. No funciona la tecla de los acentos cuando se escribe en Captivate directamente. Si funciona por ejemplo en la pantallita de Ortografía pero no en el resto. Cuando la pulsas y luego pulsas la vocal no pasa nada. Es como si no la reconociera en ese momento en concreto. He cambiado los teclados de Mac, he instalado la última versión y nada .... Alguien sabe como solucionarlo? El tema es que la productividad es nefasta por que tengo que escribir todo en la palabra y pegarlo en cautivar y cada modificación hacerlo lo mismo. Lo que debería tardar 1 minuto son 5. Alguien lo ha resultado porque en el servicio técnico me están dando, cada vez que abro una incidencia me la cierran a los tres días sin darme largas respuesta.  Si lo se me voy a Articulate.

I am using adobe Classic (2019).  I search the community but I couldn't find a written script that I can copy to my course. Could someone please help me by writing a javascript that will close the course due to inactivity after some seconds while keeping their progress saved and a certain message as a pop up once the course is closed like "you course is closed due to inactivity". I am new to Captivate and have no experience in JS. Course will be published in SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004. Please also advise if JS needs to be added to each slide as an advance action or on just one slide and it will work for the whole course.

Let's try this one last time. Two projects. One created from the CP healthcare template with buttons, images, text to speech etc. One created from a blank project. Both play fine locally on my PC. Both of these are housed in a publicly available Instructure Canvas site. The one from the Healthcare template plays with the buttons and audio if I am logged into Canvas AND when I am accessing it publicly. The one I created from a blank project only plays locally on my PC or when I am logged it Canvas. When I remove my manually inserted back and next button from the project I created from a blank project, it then works either way.. Why would one project with the same features play fine and another not play and why would the buttons keep it from playing? After many years of using Captive I would rather not revert back to PowerPoint or switch to Storyline. Please advise!!

I hope this is the correct location for this post. I created a Captivate Classic project that includes images, text, and audio narration using the text to speech tool. I published it as html 5 and uploaded it to a publicly available Canvas site. If I am logged into Canvas, it plays fine. From outside it partially loads the first “slide” and then I receive the loading message and it never loads. That being said, I uploaded the healthcare template that comes with Captivate. I added some text to speech audio and it plays fine from the same Canvas site. It plays when logged in AND when I am not logged in to Canvas as it should since the Canvas site is public.   MP4s etc also play for individuals who are not logged into the public  Canvas site so it isn't a Canvas issue. The Healthcare template plays fine on my Windows  machine, Mac, and phone and even plays the text to speech but not the project I created without a template. Please advise.

I recently upgraded to 12.4 and I am no longer able to delete image blocks in a  project previously created in 12.3. Clicking on the image and pressing the delete key does not do it. Selection the item in the timeline and pressing delete does not work either. Any ideas as to why?

I cannot find the Question Properties. The Help video said to go to Visual Properties > Alignment and Spacing as it should be there. Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

When I open the softwarte and click to create a new project it gets stuck with a spinning load wheel. I have to force close the software. ONly way I've been able to start a new course is to open an old course and save as a new project. Any idea why it is behaving this way?

I've no real experience in using variables or advanced actions.Alternatively, can someone signpost me to any help videos.Many thanks in advanceAlso still looking for any widgets to help with thisI"m using 2019 Captivate.

Whenever I try to do cmd + anything (undo, redo, group select, select all...) it plays that "dok!" sound effect you typically only hear if you attempt an invalid function in other apps.  This is NOT about disabling a sound when someone plays my file.This is about the Captivate Classic app/software itself making the sound when I, as the developer, try to use keyboard shortcuts.  Please answer this if you have experienced this with your MacBook and have managed to make this stop. If you do not use a Mac and do not know of this problem, please do not feel pressured to reply here. Thank you.  

Hello!Is it possible to move a project in Adobe Captivate Classic version 11.8.3.8 to the all new Adobe Captivate version 12.4.0.20? 

What kind of program is this? You can't customize it and it doesn't work properly. It just suddenly shut down in the middle of hours of work. It said to restart with the backup file. I did and it didn't save anything, there is no backup file.    [abuse removed by moderator]

Hi All, I've inserted few short videos on a slide that should run automatically upon entering and just loops, I dont have the intention of maintaining its original ratio (Vids1.png), but when I previewed the slide it goes back to its original eventhough it has been modified and locked (Vids2.png). Can you please let me know if its really possible to do on Captivate Classic 11.8? Thank you.

Leverage your team’s expertise as you seamlessly share projects for collaborative review.   What's in it for me The Share for Review feature enables eLearning content creators to collaborate effortlessly with reviewers on projects. Authors can generate public or private links to the project and share them with reviewers for feedback. Reviewers can access the projects, leave comments, and provide valuable feedback without requiring Captivate installation. Authors can then address the reviews, finalize the project, or initiate a new review cycle.   How to create a review Launch Captivate and select Share for review in the bottom-right corner. View the doc, Share for review, for the steps to create a review.   How to invite reviewers Captivate allows you to create a review based on the level of access granted to reviewers.

Hello everyone,I have a German Captivate installation. Sometimes I produce English content, and sometimes German content.However, when I embed videos, they show the usual control buttons (Play, etc.), and the tool-tip text for these buttons is in German. This is, of course, quite problematic for English content.Is there a solution to quickly adjust these tool-tip texts?Thanks in advance.

I am having trouble with an LMS called Percipio. I have tested my scorm in cloud.scorm.comit passes. When I send it to Percipio LMS.  Some of my usese who pass the test do not get regitered, but some do for the same course. Has anyone had troubles using Percipio before. I will recommend my client not to use them since they cannot give me any support on this isssue, and keep telling me it is the scorm file not taking any of the blame.   I just want to know if anyone else has had good or bad luck with them.ThanksM 

This question is similar to this one: https://community.adobe.com/t5/captivate-discussions/prevent-users-from-retaking-quiz/td-p/5967503  I want to prevent a student from seeing other pooled quiz questions after they have passed a quiz and received a passing score from the LMS (Oracle HCM Learn). I created a quiz with one attempt, complete on Pass/Fail, and no reviews.  The first slide contains a button that will either either let them start the quiz (Continue) or send them to the last slide where they are told that they have already passed and to close the window (Jump to Slide). On the button I used Advanced Actions and set cpQuizInfoPassFail to 1 if they had passed previously. On the first attempt after loading into my dev server, the button directed me to the quiz (good!) where I passed it. I closed and the LMS recorded a passing score (good!). When I reopened the quiz I clicked the button and it did not send me to the last slide, it sent me to the beginnin
