Questions

I see that participants of the Adobe Captivate certification training program can take the assessment at the end of the 1-day workshop.Does Adobe also offer the certification assessment separately? The workshop dates do not fit my schedule, so I'd like to attend training from a vendor and then take the exam. 

Hi everyone! I have made a Captivate project on Windows PC and published it as  .app.  But wenn i open it on my Mac, it doesn’t works. I become a issuse with 2 oportunities:  “Cancel” or “Move to trash”. Is there any possibility to publish projects for Mac? Thank you!   

Is there any way in captivate 9 by which we can make a user enter atleast a minimum amount of characters in a short answer type question before he can move forward in the quiz and if he enters the minimum number of characters he will be graded correct?

Hi - I created a branching slide and it works well; however, I do not want a quiz button to appear. Instead I want a continue button to appear after all branched slides are viewed. Do I have to create an advanced action to do that or can that be part of the new branching functionality? Thank you,Cheryl

Hi there: I need some guidance about using local storage variables to solve a problem. (I am using cpExtra's local storage capability, meaning that any variable name I pre-pend with LS goes into local stoarage.) I want to add data to a particular LS var for several days, (or for five projects), and then on the fifth day, use the accumulated values as part of the data to be displayed to the learner. More details:In a series I'm developing, where one course (cp project) is delivered each day, a learner identifies between 0 and 5 words they want to review. They perform that review and are done with that section. I want to store the 0-5 words in an LS var, which is straightforward.On day 2 (Tuesday), the learner gets a new set of words to consider, and can once again, identify between 0 and 5 words for further review. This process continues each day of the week, meaning that that learner will have identified between 0 and 25 words for review.Day 5, Friday, is different - it'

Hi, when I try to call the variable cpInfoGeoLocation (window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue('cpInfoGeoLocation')) the variable is undefined. I have turned on location tracker in both Chrome and Firefox (Mac OS 10.10), and tested it on local and public server. Is there a setting inside Captivate 8 I have to turn on in order to do this?

We are creating our first educational content in Captivate, but when inserting knowledge check slides they come up and work as we expect them to and are pleased, except that the opacity of the knowledge check overlay slide is too transparent to read easily. We have searched and searched for a way to control this, but we haven't found it yet. We even tried putting a smart shape as the background color to see if that would allow us to control the opacity, which it did, but it was still made too transparent when it was displayed as the overlay knowledge check slide. This is our first project, sorry if this is a rookie question! We appreciate your help. - Freddys 

After creating a video demo project.  After identifying yourself in the video to cut out, you confirm the area you want is selected. Then, you can select backgrouds.  Where are these backgrounds stored?  Or, is there another way to select the background for your video. 

Hi All, I've created an eLearning package that reports to a PHP server using the Internal Server Reporting functionality. When I enable this, it creates a prompt at the end of the pack for the users to enter theit name / email address. Is there: (1) any way to move this prompt to the start of the pack ? and (2) an easy way to customise what fields appear on this prompt and are therefor sent with the results to the PHP server? Thanks in AdvanceRoss

How to add multiple short answer entries/box in a single question slide in captivate 2019?

I wanted to experience Captive. Downloaded trial version. When I click the Video Demo option, the app is getting closed down immediately. I reinstalled the app on my laptop. Shutdown - reboot also did not help. Any suggestion?

I've published a quiz course in a non-scalable HTML5 format. The un-zipped files load successfully into any of the browsers I use locally on my machine. It also presents correctly locally on other co-workers' machines.  However, when uploaded to a directory on our customer-facing server, navigating to the screen shows only a blank, white page - not even the "play" arrow. This is not for actual use yet, but simply customer preview for a version they will host on another server when we do the final publish. No score recording needed. I've checked file permissions, firewall settings etc. but have not found any solutions or clues. I've double-checked that all files successfully upload.  I'm probably missing something obvious and would welcome anybody that can help me find what is probably right in front of my nose. 

I have recently downloaded adobe presenter 11 and am currently in the trial version. I did this to see if it would be a good fit b4 I purchase.  So far I have created a Power Point with animation and audio (MP3 format) as well as voice recording for narration... None of them play when i view the presentation in presenter.  Is there a way to fix this issue. If not i can use the product. Thanks 

It seems as though my quiz slides won't progress until the audio is complete. How can I allow the end-user to complete the quiz without having to listen to the entire audio? The only solution I can see to work around this issue is to show the playbar at the bottom. This may work for now, but it does not encourage the end-user to complete the quiz. I would like to have the quiz force the end-user to complete the quiz and progress at their own pace. 

I recently downloaded and installed adobe captivate on my computer. I am the only employee at my agency that has a license. When I contact adobe captivate to get support, I am informed to contact my administror. Who is my administrator? Where can I get this infromation?

I'm trying to setup a collapsible menu that slides out with an button click. Functionally it works fine until I apply effects in advanced actions to make it slide in on show (Fly In From Left) and slide out on hide (Fly Out To Left). It works once, but if I click to open again, the menu does not appear. If I turn off Fly Out To Left and just let it disappear off screen, it opens again with the entrance effect with no issues. Here are screencaps of how I currently have it setup: Menu_Group being the menu to show / hide, and Button4_InThisVideo the button that performs the action.Here's some of the references I tried to piecemeal from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm3qOekdsZ4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLDdlBFY84cand the setup from mark_Headtrix on this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/captivate/clickable-navigation-menu/td-p/10859062?page=1 Thank you for any guidance as to what I might be doing wrong!

I am creating a software simulation assessment in Captivate 9.  Is there any way to have multiple failure prompts appear like you can with a quiz?  I have it set for 3 attempts, but I wanted a hint to appear after the second failed attempt.   I do that in quizzes by just changing the 2nd failure caption.  Is this possible in the simulation assessment?

I obviously copied and deleted a lot in a project. Now there is an item that appears to be displayed across the entire application and was originally a variable entered in a text field.However, this text field can no longer be found. In the first screen in which the item is displayed, you can see it both in the project and in the export. But you can't choose it. It also does not appear in the timeline in the previous screens - so it is not hidden. And it is not part of a foil master.Unfortunately, I still have to delete it. The project is still in Captivate 2017.Does somebody has any idea?

Hi, I just updated to the latest version of Captivate 2019 and am having issues opening published HTML5 modules in Chrome - they just won't open. They open in Edge but not Chrome. Any ideas why?  Also, sometimes when I open Captivate and then click File/Open, it freezes. I have to do a CTRL+ALT+Delete...  Thanks for the help!Michele 

Hi, Has anyone else experienced laggy video/motion-path smart shape playback and losing sync with timings set on the slide timeline?Here is one example:I want to make interactive videos that have questions or slides pop up. Some of these slides may contain buttons (smart shapes) with audio. The problem I am having is that the videos seem to get quite laggy when playing back on a LMS as a SCORM wrapped project. For example I have a 60 second video with an overlay slide 15 seconds in. This overlay slide contains a button that the user must press within a few seconds of it appearing. If they press it within a few seconds the video will continue. If they don't press it in a certain time they branch to a bookmark further along the video showing what would happen. In reality when I am playing this back from a LMS the content is choppy and freezes for up to 15 seconds before resuming again and sometimes skipping over parts of the video clip!  On a separate note I have

Hi all, I'd like to know if it's possible to have: Captivate and Creative Cloud running with two different adobe id in the same machine (mac) Is it possible to do that? or It's a must that both packages need to use the same adobe id if activated and running simultaneously in the same mac? Thanks in advance.Jose

Hi thereWith remote learning I was excited there was a 90 day trial for educators to try out before buying, but when I click the link ( see screenshots below) there is an error page 😞 Can anyone help please? Thanks!  

I asked earlier about why there are so many cache files that open when you open a project.  In previous versions there was only one for each time you opend a project now there are 7 cache files that appear in the folder when you open a new porject.  How do you recover a project from the cache files in CP8?  I tried a process that Rod Ward had written for earlier versions of CP8 but it didn't work.Any help would be appreciated.

HI, I'm experiencing issues when trying to record software simulation in Demo or Training mode. I use the Automatic setting, but the system isn't recognising any clicks on the screen and is not recording these steps. Can anyone help please?
