Questions

After I created the course with Captivate, I transformed it into an android app through PhoneGap. But I don't know the way to create the login and signup form (through google or facebook) on the app so that only users I approve can use this app. Can anyone guide me? Many thanks.

I'm using Captivate 2019 the version is less than 11.5 (Government contract dictates updates,so far none has been authorized). I develop most of the graphics with Photoshop and export as a png.some of these graphics have text in them. In Photoshop and viewing the pn g with a image viewe r the text looks fine and sharp. Import into captivate and published it looks blurry. we are using responsive design, and images are the exact size as needed. is there away to fix this? 

I used the drag n drop wizard to create an interaction in Captivate 2019. This interaction is for 1 attempt, where the drag source bounces back when not on the right drop target. Each drop target uses object actions set to No action.The Pause After: time is set to 1.5 sec.When I preview it regularly, it works fine. When I preview as HTML5 in Browser, it doesn't pause. Same with a published HTML5 version on the website - no pause.What am I missing? I noticed a reference in another posting to uncheck the 'Continue playing the project' option - but I can't find that. I've used it before, but I can't find it now. I'm thinking this is a simply fix, but I can't figure it out. So all help is welcome! 

If I currently have 2017 is there really a need to upgrade to 2019 or is 2017 sufficient? 

I updated the user dictionary for my 2019 version of Captivate.  Captivate is still not using the new list.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi all, I've created my own player bar since the out-of-the-box ones are mostly awful. This has all been done on the first screen of the course, and the player buttons are set to display on top of all other slide elements and persist until the end of the course. This appears to work great until I get to a branching slide. The branching is controlled from on-slide buttons. But on those slides I don't want the user to be able to click either the forward or back button on the player bar (depending on the slide they're on) because it will mess up the branching experience. I can't remove the forward or back button on those specific slides as they're persistent across the entire course. And I can't cover them up because they're set to appear in front of all on-slide elements. Is there a way I can accomplish what I need? Thanks.

Is there a way to export the Accessibility Details for objects in addition to the captions to a PDF?

I created a lesson with Captivate 9.  The lesson was published to HTML5 and will be hosted on a company intranet.  There is no reporting on the lesson as it will not be published to an LMS, but there is a requirement that the lesson should resume at the last slide viewed when exited and revisited.Is this possible in Captivate?

Hello, I am based in the UK and would like to undertake the Adobe Captivate Specialist course. Looking on the Adobe website only shows the course taking place in America, is there a UK based Adobe Captivate Speicialist course? Thanks Simon

I'm having a brain lapse.  When does the Copy Background from the edit menu work? A coworker wants to copy the background from one slide to another but the option is grayed out.

Hi,When I try to record from a video on Presenter it does not record sound from the video.

G'day, I'm trying to set up Captivate Reviewer (v2019) for the first time and I'm following the instructions correctly, as far as I can tell, but when I open the .crev file (that I put on our local Windows server volume) I'm getting the following warning message:"The comment store location is a local directory. Export comments to author to complete the review." When I did the initial "Send for Shared Review" setup, I chose the same network drive for the "Publish Folder" as well as the "Projects comment folder" so the comments are definitely not sitting locally. What am I missing??? Thanks!!! Brett

Hi, We use a third party vendor who has built our SCORM 1.2 package using captivate with some basic requirements we had like, user cannot progress to next slide in the SCORM content until the voice-over on the slide has completed (the next button is greyed out), and we have a quiz with a 1 minute timer per question (the next button to take the user to the next question is hidden until timer expires). By right, the content + questions take 55mins to complete. Our LMS sometimes shows users completed the scorm content in as little as 13mins, though this only happens to a subset of users. Not everyone faces this. And sometimes the learners have completed, but the LMS backend still shows as in-progress. We usually help relaunch and close, and that seems to pass the score, timespent and completion to the LMS. I was wondering if I could get a link to the troubleshooting ebook or guide. Or any suggestions from you? We've done a one-off test in SCORMCloud and it works fine over there.

New to Captivate. Recently purchased Captivate 7. I'm trying to obtain an object 'add effect' similar to the "wipe" (from left) and the "wheel" animation effects found in PowerPoint. I want to simulate hand-drawing an emphasis line under text. I have a .png graphic of a hand-drawn red line (transparent background) that I'd like to appear by "wiping" from left to right. The "stretch" effect (from left to right) found in Captivate's "Add Effect" doesn't look right; it's obviously a 'stretch' instead of a 'wipe'.  Likewise, I would like to hand-draw a circle or oval around certain text or other objects to draw attention to these items. The "wheel" animation in PowerPoint works perfectly for this. Is there a way to do this in Captivate? Maybe some variation of one of the built-in effects that I've missed? Camtasia Studio has "sketch motion graphics" built in - which also does this nicely.

I just uploaded a powerpoint deck to Capitvate. About 4-5 slides in Captivate are now showing very large black splotches covering the slide and the text and image formatting. Anyone know why these black splotches appeared and how to get rid of them. The powerpoint slides are formatted fine and nothing looks off. 

Captivate 9:Im creating a Moodle course that consists of a series of captivate scorms.As a final slide in the captivate project I have been notifying the student to exit the current scorm course (which was opened in a new window from the LMS) and return to the LMS and open the next captivate scorm.A new request has been submitted for the exit button to simply close the current course and open the next course in the LMS.Is there a solution in the Captivate project to handle that?   

Are there any good resource which list all of the tags and attributes and describe what each is used for?  I would like do more custom effects but I’m playing a guessing game as to what all is available and how to use what I find. Anything will help. Online resource, hard copy book…Anything.

Hi all,Does anybody knows if it's possible to make an object's position fixed when scrolling? I would like a header menu to stay always on the top of the page when scrolling down.Thanks in advance,Victor

Hello,I’m using Captivate 2017 and created a simple non-responsive project with drag and drop interactions, and a quiz (settings shown below). I’ve set up the quiz with 3 attempts, and the LMS (Bridge) with 1. I’ve tested the course by passing on the first try, and also failing all 3 times. It works perfectly fine for me.Some users have already taken the course and passed the quiz, and the LMS has recorded everything as it should.However, we have some users who have reported completing the course and passing the quiz, but the course remains incomplete. In other words, on my end, it shows that they started the course, but have not taken the quiz, therefore it’s still incomplete. I’ve asked them to clear their history, use a different browser, and nothing has helped. In most cases, they can take the quiz more than the allowed 3 times, and it still does not report the activity back to the LMS.I’ve reached out to Bridge and they have tested the course and said that it worked for them, the

I am a new user of Captivate 2019.  My current assignment is to remove all flash elements in our e-learning courses. I've been using the HTML5 Tracker consistently to identify those elements for removal.  However, some of the messages that pop-up in the unsupported slide/object list is hard to figure out.  For example, the message "Only animation image is supported"  In the Style Inspector, I see the Allow Gesture Navigation checkbook selected.  Under Background "Project background" is selected.  "Fullmotion28_1.swf" visible under project background.  Quality is set to "High (24-bit)".  The Master Slide Objects On Top is unchecked. the timeline shows the following elementsBookmarkOverlaySlide21When I delete the "Fullmotion28_1.swf"  what do I replace it with?  Do I need to remove anything from the timeline?  Any advice to assist with correcting this error message is greatly appreciated.     

I am trying to add buttons to control the playback speed of my videos in Captivate 2019 (ie. 0.5x, 1.0x, 1.5x, and 2.0x playback speeds). I am importing pre-recorded MP4 video files onto a single slide. I found this youtube video, where this guy put in a couple of lines of javascript to accomplish this function. The buttons are set with a success action of "execute javascript":var myVideo = $('video');myVideo[0].playbackRate = 0.5;The video is here:(www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSgwS7DeMKo)I am somewhat of a beginner in Captivate and I know very very little about Javascript. I should also add that my Captivate project will eventually be uploaded to LMS.Has anyone had success in adding some sort of video playback speed navigation for embedded videos within captivate? If anyone has used the method I have described above, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? 

I am laying overlays over a video clip , essentially it pauses the video and poses question to the user then a continue button continues the video until the next pause and question. This was functioning perffectly, I have made no changes to any script or button functions etc, however the overlay order seems to have randomly changed meaning the questions are now out of order??/ I can only assume this is a bug in CPVT 2019. I tried a fix by duplicating overlays and moving positions but it is still not returning to order has anyone experience of this?

I've created a looping animation in Adobe Animate and brought it into my project by selectimg "Media", then "HTML5 Animation".  I need the animation to run behind the other objects on the slide, so I moved the animation to the bottom of the stack (web-1 in image below)While working on the slide, the animation appears in the correct stack order; behind everything else.  But, when I preview (Next 5 slides and HTML5 in browser) the animation appears in front of everything else on the slide.  This is my first attempt at bringing in an animation, so I'm sure I missed something.  I'd appreciate anyone who can point out what that something is. Jay

I have searched for a replay button that will work in 2019.  I read Lilibri's blog post Replay (slide) button.  The first replay didn't seen to work to reset the slide.  I tried building the second option and I'm either assigning the wrong action to the wrong place or it just doesn't work for me.Would appreciate any and all advice.  The original AA for the replay that the customer used was Go to Previous Slide then the next line was Go to Next Slide.  It seemed to work before but doesn't now.TIA Susan
