Questions

Hi All,Not sure if this is the right place for this, but since I have not found clear answers anywhere else, I am asking.Can a Captivate license for Captivate 2019 be  purchased which is for Traditional Chinese? If not are there any viable options. Thank you for your time. George

Scorm package created having a mp4 video only,  which works on android devices, laptop, desktop without any issue but nit on ios devices.On ios devices the scorm window gets open but th video in it does not loaded or do not play.

When using the playbar from Captivate's skin can you delay when the forward arrow goes live until after the narration is complete?  We don't want to put a different playbar within the slide area.Thank you,Susan

After I create a slide presentation course in Captivate, I publish the course using HTML/SWF and send the zip file to our LMS vendor to upload.  Right now, they are using the HTML5 file only.  I would like users to be able to pick up the slide presentation course where they left off.  The LMC can remember to resume the user to the page that holds the slide presentation but it will resume to the beginning and not on the actual slide.  Is there a way to set it up inside captivate before exporting that allow a user to resume to the actual slide?

HalloI'm using Captivate 9 with bookmark. When popup appears, Ok and Cancel do the same action, they bring me where I stopped (the last slide view). Maybe should I set anything different?Thanks for your help 

Due to the COVID pandemic, I am forced to rely on video to be interctive with my students. I have a rather lenghty video of a healthcare procedure and seemed to have things working well until I preview in HTML5.As I progressed and added about 6 (out of 12) bookmarks - along with my knowledge check questions, the development has become a bit clunky. When I preview my work, the first two knowledge checks (most often) perform as intended. Sometimes I might get three to work and then I get a buffering overlay while the video plays and no other knowledge checks display at the key moment (loss of sync happens quickly). It appears to me to be a sync issue. I'm just asking if anything can be done to improve performance? Is there a way to "preload" things to reduce buffering or should I look for another solution?Thanks in advance for any assistance.

First, can I change paragraph spacing in Captivate 8? Not line spacing, but paragraph spacing. For example, 6pt space after a paragraph like you can do in MS-Word.Second, does Captivate 8 allow me to define text styles? I know I can set styles for entire objects such as Captions, but can I define a style (such as MyTitle = Verdana 18pt bold or MyBody = 11pt Verdana plain or MyEmphasis = 11pt Verdana italic red) and then apply that to some text I select within a caption object?

Hi-I'm working in PowerPoint for Mac. version 15.31. Part of the Office 365 Suite. When I try to import the presentation in to Captivate 9, I get an error message that suggest that the file may be damaged or the version of PowerPoint may be too old.  The version that I'm using appears to be the most recent and I can't see where the file is damaged. Any suggestion for how to rectify this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance. Dafilms

Hello!I created a short VR project in Captivate 2019. I can see what I created in the source slides. However, I cannot use preview or publish to see what I created either by VR device or desktop? Any clues will be appreciated. thanks a ton!  

HI Folks,I'm using a smart graphic as a button.  The stuent will click on the button to open a URL.  I have the states already created. My problem is that I want to show it as visited without the student having to move the mouse over the graphic. Is there a way to do that?  Or should I be using a differnt object for this purpose? Thanks,Carl

Hi - We recently upgraded to Captivate 2019 to update some old video content. Our Fortify On-Demand (FOD) security scan has flagged two files with High and Critical security flaws. I've searched the forum but can't find any reference to these issues in a later version of Captivate. I had hoped that by upgrading we wouldn't have these issues. We are using these HTML5 videos on our web site as standalone introductions to our app, not part of an LMS. FILE: CPXHRLoader.jsISSUE: High severity Cross-Site Scripting: DOM on line 37.

I have imported a PPTX into Captivate project (1920x1080).The PowerPoint slides are Design -> Slide Size -> Wide Screen (16:9).On CPTX slide, the PowerPoint slide appears to be cut off and I see a vertical grey bar on the right side of each slide: PPTX slide example: Captivate: The CPTX needs to be 1920x1080.Any suggestions on how to adjust the slides or how to import them so that they rescale?

My CPPLauncher doesn't work on Catalina 10.15.4 The system tells me that software needs to be updated to work properly on this MacOS version 

I was using Vimeo to link my interactive videos to, but some (not all) of them were cutting off before the end when playing the SCORM’d module.  So I switched back to my trusty YouTube and the same error is happening.  When I view the project in the HTML viewer they are working fine however, when I SCORM the project and watch it from my LMS the odd film is cutting off.  I am using Captivate 2019, and the project is timed to move on automatically?  

Hi,In my captivate project of only one slide. I  have tried to loop a slide using preference => Project => End -> Loop.The slide includes  "Typing Text Animation".The contents of these "Typing Text Animation" start doubling, tripling and so on after every loop. i.e. "About Project" initially and after first loop "About Project About Project" Is there a way to set "Typing Text Animation" to null at the beginning of the slide to mitigate the impact of the loop?Many thanks  

I have a simple javascript var myVideo = $('video');myVideo[0].playbackRate = 0.5; connected to a button on a video in a multiple slide project with fluid boxeds. The added javascript does indeed work and allow users to slow the video down. However, when a user clicks on show closed captions the closed captions are then off-sync with the video. How can I make it that the closed captions slow down/ speed back up depending on whether a user is playing the video at 0.5x or 1.0x?

Morning All,I have a query, which I cannot find an answer for. I am creating some questions for a Quiz. I then want the quiz to be included into a pool. That is normally simply, but some of the questions are like a simulation where they have to perform certain steps to verify they understand the procedure. They get a point at the end of the simulation. My query is:1) Is it possible to add multiple slides as a single question in a question pool?2) Would this allow when setting up a random test allow, if selected, all the simulation to be taken as 1 question. The person who did the original questions added all the single slide questions into a pool, but left the simulation slides separate so that they always appeared in the quiz. Was wondering if this was possible to combine them. ThanksPhil.

Dear Community,I hope somebody will help me to find a solution  (Captivate 9).I need to automatically pause a project if the user opens a new browser window/program and to resume the project if the user comes back to the course.I guess I need some JS with a blur and focus functions but all the test I'm doing don't work 😞 If somebody know how to do it, I really appreciate your help!  

Would love to meet with folks and just share project development. I'm quarantined for at least another week. Gotta talk things out sometimes! Let me know if you want to share projects of if I should go somewhere better for that.  Thanks,Ryan

I have about 10 computer based training courses that were developed by the community and have not been updated since 2015. These courses use javascript and flash and are written in HTML4 as far as I can tell. I am in the National Guard and we are trying to find CBT's to conduct virtual drills so we can get these guys paid. I have the files that are labeled as HTML documents and I can see all the slides for the courses but I cannot make them run. If I open these files individually I can use and manipulate the slides, I just cannot make them run together.  There is an index file that I believe is how you start the course, but the TextFetcher application is blocked by Java security. I fully admit that this project is way out of my league, but I am willing to try and figure it out.  I am wanting to be able to change these files to a usable format and republish them to the community for use.    Thanks for your help and if I can provide any more information please hit me

Hi! I have just finished my first Captivate project with, videos and a quiz. Since I finished my project I have spent 2 hours trying to understand how I can share it with others. Once I do the entire "Publish to computer" action, I get a aip folder. Inside the folder there is no Icon that can launch the project, so i guess i cant just sent it to a colleague from Wetransfer.com? Instead it seems that people online suggest using SCORM, which i dont quite understand how to. Is there really not a simple way to sent my project to others, or just a link, somehow? (I dont have my own website).  I apologies for probably appearing stupid, and thank You for Your help! 

Hi,I`m using Captivate 9 and I publish in HTML5.Is there a way to automatically pause a project if the user changes over to another browser window? And to resume the project if the user changes back to the original window (in which the course is running)?Maybe some JavaScript solution?Thank you very much for any help!Best regardsMichael

Hello,I'm using Captivate 2017 and in my application I have captured some user entered data on user variables. I would like this data stored in LMS, so I can perform data analytics over them at a later point. I understand using Javascript, this can be accomplished.At the moment, I have my Javascript variables containing user provided data, but do not know how to route them to LMS. I don't know how to establsih the plumbing between Captivate and LMS. The setting page does create that connection, but it routes only Pass/Fail or other pre-defined information. I would like user variables /javascript variables also stored.Any help here is appreciated.Thanks

Hi I am having the above problem, i have read some other threads regarding this error when running with IE 8,9. I understand this problem may be solved by publishing to both HTML5 and SWF output format.But here is my problem, i work for a really big trust with thousands of computers that are using IE 8-9 on the all the computers and also my project is a responsive project. We are working towards responsive projects so as to facilitate staff to take courses wherever they are in order to increase the percentage compliance with their mandatory training. So when i publish my work in responsive my only choice is to HTML5 output, so when i try to run the course on our LMS i get the above (title) error message.Does anyone has any suggestion as to what is the best way i could overcome this problem? All your advice is much appreciated.IT WOULD SAVE SO MUCH TIME IF ADOBE COULD ALLOW RESPONSIVE PROJECTS TO BE PUBLISHED IN BOTH HTML5 & SWF OUTPUT BECAUSE DON'T FORGET A RESPONSIVE PROJECT ALSO
