Questions

I want to add a timer to my skin on a project. There's a widget in the RaisingAimee site that I know can do this, but I can't download from there anymore (I guess Paul is no longer maintaining it).http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=75:playing-time-built-into-skin&catid=24:captivate-3&Itemid=51Does anyone know how to create it. Or perhaps you have this skin and you'd be willing to share it out to me.Please let me know.

Can I do a video to my husband

There has been many discussions regarding this and I understand that Captivate is designed for Interactive training. I  need to build a project with a combination of simulation and vdeo demo capturing as I need to be able to edit mouse cursors in the simulation slides. The quality of my published file especially on the slides where I have used video capture for pan and zoom affect is very poor. As per Lilybiri's advice I trialed Camtasia for Video capturing but you cannot change the cursor post production and I cannot find other Video capturing/editing software that will enable this.I have my Captivate 9 video capturing set to 32bit and all my simulation screens set to Optimised but the output to MP4 is still poor with lines showing in all the backround images.I need to host my files on YouTube so don't have the option of outputting to html5.Can anyone please assist me with some advice how to get a better quality MP4 for my Project?Thanks so much

Hi, I work in Mexico, as a designer for captivate courses, I'm not really a programmer just designer, currently we are looking for a super captivate expert, because or captivate development now is turning more complicated, our currently developers have experience on the field but not enough to consider them selves super experts, so we want to look for this person, where it will be a good idea start looking for? forums, facebook pages, do you know places where I can find captivate experts? I will really appreciate any information Thanks

Hi all. I have an hour long course which works fine in every browser but Internet Explorer. It's fine for the first 40 minutes of the course, but once it starts approaching 50 minutes it begins behaving erratically, failing to load slide background images and ultimately crashing. Working with a fellow Captivate developer we believe it to be a memory leak issue. This crash is not happening at a specific slide or event. Examining memory in Resource Monitor the IE tab running the course builds Commit and Working Set continually, only occasionally releasing a little bit of memory. Once it hits 1,500,000 KB the tab crashes and automatically reloads, starting the course from the beginning. This has been consistently observed with testing. It is not a slide, event, or amount of time – it crashes when Working Set hits 1,500,000 KB. For this product we create a version for web-based deployment and a version for LMS use. For the web-based version, if TOC is enabled it will resume where

Hello!I am trying to execute advaced actions with buttons in the 2019 Captivate and for some reason when I try to excute it the option "Change State Of" is greyed out and I cannot use it. Could anybody help me with this issue?  Thank you! 

New download and install for Captivate 2019 Restrict me from the Java.exe file. I downloaded and installed again and the same thing happened. Here is the notice I get on my computer:I went to my Properties box and checked full control. If  I double click I get the same message.

Hello,I wanted to open a discussion about an issue I was asked to step in and deal with regarding how text entries work in Captivate. From everything we could find, a text entry box, no matter how it is made, generates the same boiler plate javascript when the project is used for an HTLM5 based course.The issue with this javascript, is that both on user input and fill of the box, it converts the values to Number() primitives whenever able. Removing this code so that Captivate boxes set the javascript variables as strings is the only way I could find to publish a course that is meant to accept values like zip, phone number, social security numbers etc, which can begin with leading zeros.If Captivates bowler plate javascript is allowed to run it will convert zip codes like 04005 to 4005. I am seeing no adverse effects from removing the code and allowing all text input entries to be treated as strings.Is Captivate aware of this issue? Is there a setting option in Captivate we are missing

Hi All, One of my colleagues has shared the video template via email & OneDrive, when I tried to open the Video Template in Adobe Captivate 2019, received the following error. Can I know the RCA and solution    

Hello, Im relitivly new here and am hoping that this is an obvious question, but I couldnt find an answer. Ive built a quiz and changed the layout and coloring from the typically flat grey, however what I see when building is different than what is in the preview or published.For instance, one of the quiz questions is a matching quiz that looks like this:However what publishes is this: The text colors in the drop down are different, but I can make that work by inverting all the colors on the slide.What I cant fix is that the connector lines have moved left, are now grey, the words are smaller on the yellow boxes and the words moved up in the black boxes. I played around with Shift+F7 options but it only changed some of the boxes and not others and diddnt fix the issue. Is there a way to make it so that what I see when I am building is actually what publishes?

I have built a Captivate project in V2019. When I playback the project 5 slides at a time - audio is sometimes getting chopped off between slides. Once published it seems to be fine. Would appreciate any advice how to fix this.

When I uploaded the archive in the SAP Platform, i received this error message:What it could be?

I have installed the Captivate trial on one of our employees laptops. When we try to start the program it seems to load fine and comes up with choose project screen but instantly clears and comes up with screen saying please wait for a moment with spinning circle. Have left this running for a while and tried multiple times but can't get passed this point and start using captivate. It's added to firewall and can log in fine to creative cloud app. Any idea's? Thanks for any help in advance.

One of my slides has four points of text that appear only after the learner clicks four separate buttons. I have advanced actions on each button to show the text and modify one of four separate variables to be 'done' (which tells the Next button to enable and allows the learner to advance).Currently, if you revisit that slide, the buttons do not appear at all so you're not able to click and see the corresponding text again. I would like, on slide revisit, that the buttons appear immediately and text appears without clicking.I'm an advanced user of a competitor's authoring tool so I'm trying to "unlearn" how advanced interactions were done in 'L' and how to do it in Captivate. How I would natually program it doesn't work. so I'm wondering what I'm missing. Thanks!

Hi,I was wondering how do I delete my slide footage audio from my timeline with out delating my slide.  Thankyou Alisha 

Working with JavaScript, I am trying to capture and evaluate learner entry of a date into a simulation of software tool. The date must be entered in the mmddyy format. Using the Event Listener CPAPI_VARIABLEVALUECHANGED is working great EXCEPT that it does not reconize a 0 when entered first. Has anyone overcome this problem?

I have been publishing a course module in HTML5.  When some of our users complete the quiz in the module, the module automatically records as Passed.  Other times, there is a delay of a few hours before the module registers as Passed (this is with the IE browser). I'm not sure if this is a LMS issue or something with the way I published the module.  If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate hearing them. 

I'm using 'micro navigation' in my project. Each slide is a motion graphics video with narration. The client has asked that if a slide has already been seen by the user and they wish to return to that slide for review, that they don't have to watch the entire video again - they just get a static version of the slide.I'm achieving this by setting up a 'SlidexxSeen' variable with a default of 0, then OnEnter for that slide sets the variable to 1. If they try to go back to the slide, the '1' variable causes them to redirect to a frame - the last frame of that slide.My problem is, if the client wants me to make a change to a slide that actually changes the length of the slide, every frame number for the last frame from that slide forward is changed. This requires me to have to change the 'cpCmndGotoFrame' for every slide after the changed slide to update the new frame number.It's only happened once, but I'm predicting that more such changes may occur. I'm hoping that there is a better way

Hi!I'm using Captivate 8 and I tried to create a drag and drop interaction with inserted images grouped with text captions.But when creating it in the wizard it seems I can't choose the whole group as one drag object. So in preview when I drag the image, the text caption doesn't follow. How do I fix this issue or is it even possible to drag grouped objects in CP8?Thanks in advance for help!

I'm a space operations instructor at the Space Education and Training Center at Peterson AFB, CO.  I was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and with the COVID-19 pandemic, I am not authorized to enter the building because of my suppressed immune system.  I am now creating distance learning content from home.  I downloaded the 30 Day free trial and have been corresponding with the Adobe Captivate 2019 sales team to request the $399 educator discount for the software.  I just received a message stating military schools are not eligible for the student and teacher edition.  I was wondering if anyone knew of a person I could contact to request an exception to this policy.  I desire to use Captivate to create content for my students and will pay for the software out of my own pocket.  If college students can use the software at the reduced price, why can I, as an instructor, not use the software at the reduced price?  Any insight would be very

So here's my situation: We have about a dozen training modules, but which modules you have to take vary depending on each employee's department and position. For example Employee 451 has to take modules 1, 3, and 7, Employee 888 has to take modules 1, 4, and 11, etc.   What my bosses want is for anyone to be able to sit down and click their department and position, which would then automatically serve them the correct modules. Ideally there would also be a menu of which modules they've completed, saved off to a SCORM database, so people wouldn't have to complete everything in a single session.   So far we've only gotten as far as realizing that this will require merging every module into a single mega-project. What do you all think would be the best approach to implementing this type of navigation in Captivate?   Thanks.
