Questions

I have been trying to figure out this responsive project with the fluid boxes. The last project I did was not responsive so the fluid boxes have been new to me. The one thing I can’t figure out of how to put in Vertical buttons but have the content be horizontal. Part of the problem seems to be fluid boxes being grayed out when I try to add more with the template they gave me. Here is what I see when trying to add more fluid boxes to the middle box.  I would like to add buttons like this one for the text to appear like from a previous project:  Anyways, I experimented with having the template as a master slide and It seems to work better: Even with that, I still can't seem to make it work because I need the shapes horzontal to the text but vertical to each other. Do I need a third fluid box for the smart shape buttons??? 

I have exported an XML file from my captivate project for translation purposes and now when I try to import it back into the project, it doesn't work and I get the message "cannot import". I notice that this has been happenning for years.  Does anyone have any solutions?

Using Captivate 2019, I have created a drag and drop quiz question that works perfectly on the PC.  But it does not work on the iPad.  It visually looks fine but when you touch the drag object it doesn't detect my finger and so the interaction can not be completed.  I did publish as HTML5. Thanks for any suggestions,Valtlcwithval.com

Hi,I'd like to have a simulation where the user clicks through a series of screens, for example the steps it takes to print a spreadsheet. When you print spreadsheets, it's common to set print area. To do that, you need to select the cells. Unfortunatly, when I record myself doing this it plays those few seconds instead of making the user click and drag to select the text. Is there a way to make this work? I suppose it's because everything else is just a snapshot when I click, but this would be many screenshots to go from the deselcted cells to when they're all selected. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!Running Captivate 9 on Windows.

When I try to start a new project using the Blank option, nothing happens. Also, in the Project Info | Recording | Defaults, there are no options available to select. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

In Captivate 2019 I have made a museum presentation with some choices for the user underways. If the presentation has been left unused for for example 2 minutes I want it go bach to slide 1.It can be done in Apple Keynote and PowerPoint. How do I do in Captivate?

Hi there,Why we cant turn on/off autplay free, as a personal choice? Or my question - when I MUST accept this stupid idea, how can I remove / modify this terrible white box after project loaded and stops? Because I have black background of HTML project, black colored playbar and this extereme white box make me nearly blind. Poor my clients...Question 2: Project, exported from cp2019 has over 50% more MB, than the same project exported from v2017.  Btw, interactive video as new function - good idea. I will discover it.Y.

Hello,I am currently attempting to change a setting that is in place on a Captivate project I have been asked to troubleshoot.The course itself will not post a specific grade at the end.I believe this is because the Results page was removed while questions are still present in the course.I have added the results page back to the project but after inspecting the Advanced Interaction page, it states that none of the questions are included in the Quiz.(All the questions in the Include in Quiz column show as "No" ).Is there anyway to change that No to a Yes and have ot calculate and post a final grade.Thank you for your time.Regards,Shaun

After publishing and viewing a project created in Captivate 2019, I've noticed that the broswer's (Chrome) zoom controls (Ctrl +/-) do not work. However, when I maximize the browser or scale the browser from the side, the published Captivate project scales accordingly.  This project was published in HTML5 only and Scalable HTML content was selected. Are the browsers zoom controls not able to work on a published file? Am I missing something?Thanks.MC

I'm using Captivate 2019 for Mac on Mojave. I'm tryng to add the emphasis effect "Flicker" to a box so it blinks around a particular important field but the flicker is more of a brown in and out. It is suuuuper slow-mow. I have the arrow extended on the timelie for 14 seconds, I also have the effect duration set for 14 seconds, but that doesn't seem to speed up the "beats per second" I am going for. I feel like this is probably stupid easy and I'm missing something.

Hi,This is regarding the exit button on the playback controls. I have been using Captivate from version 2. Recently, started using version 5. When I published my simulation, the exit button is not working as earlier. It is also not working from- web server(IIS, Apache), when opened as pop-up as well. In local too however not working. I tried in both IE 7 and Firefox latest version.I have seen the response from Adobe on this issue on this forum. It was quite surprising; it did not talk about the solution at all;What I am not sure about is -1. Why the exit button was working earlier versions.. why is it not working in latest?2. Why should when simple code like top.close(); works fine (when coded inside the Captivate)?3. Why is Adobe not acknowledging the issue?4. Why there is no working around provided in the forums for this issue?Could anybody please help me understanding this problem? I am really frustrated.Thanks.

This afternoon I downloaded the latest update (11.5.1.499). Now, when I go into Learning Interactions, all the games are gone (Jeopardy, Memory, Alphanums, etc.). Is that happening for anyone else? I searched the forums, release notes, etc., and didn't find any information.I tried one of my projects that uses a Jeopardy game and fortunately it still works. But it doesn't look like I can add a new one.Anyone know what's going on? Maybe it's because those games were Flash-based?Kathryn

I am trying to create the highlight box in the Object Style Manager. Is there any way to also add a shadow to this shape in the manager so it saves to the default?

I am creating a software simulation which captures some right click steps to add information into a field using copy and paste. Once I recorded and reviewed, I got this warning, One click box of this project have the 'Right-Click' property enabled. Right-click works only on web browser. Preview (if not on a web browser) can cause the 'Right-Click' to work as 'Left-Click'. Do you want to continue?Can anyone suggest how Captivate manages shortcuts and particularly right click functions for a swf project or if I need to redo the simulation as a responsive file?Thanks for any articles or advice that will help me understand this better.

Good Afternoon/Evening! EDIT: To my knowledge, we are using the current version of Captivate. Helping one of my co-workers with his Captivate project. We are getting an infinite loading screen when previewing in HTML5. I went thru Chrome's inspector and found this error: index.html:148 Uncaught ReferenceError: cp is not defined   at index.html:148   at XMLHttpRequest.b.onreadystatechange (CPXHRLoader.js:39 Additionally, digging further, I found a reference in the error to cp.imageJSON string. Funny enough, the project previews fine in SWF format and the HTML check shows NO errors in Captivate. Its only when he previews. I'm having him publish and upload to Prime to see if it works properly in our LMS. The course contains 2 drag and drop slides alongside a short quiz.  Anyone else experience this error or can assist? Note: I saw somewhere Paul mentioned IT rights for JSON on company intranet. But, if that was the case, wou

Based on what I've seen, I gather I'm not alone, but I'm unable to reinstall Adobe Captivate on Catalina 10.15.1, even after update 4. Here are my system specs:MBP 15"2.9 GHz 6-core Intel Core i916GB RAM Here are the steps I've attempted:Uninstall previous version using uninstaller (Applications > Adobe Captivate > Uninstall Adobe Captivate) and remove layouts and preferencesDownload a new package via the trial sign-up pageAttempt to install The installer appears to freeze, or fails to initialize. I've also attemped the following steps to get the initializer to respond:Download and open installer fileCTL + click installer.appShow Package ContentsOpen Contents > MacOS > Install[Terminal opens automatically] The installer fails to initialize, and just loads forever, endlessly, off into eternity. Every time I've attempted it, I've eventually had to Force Quit, because quitting doesn't register. If there's someone here in the forums who has experience with a

Hello, I want to take exam of adobe captivate, But i cant find any details in Adobe website, Pearsonvue is also not showing any exam related to Adobe capitivate.

When I go to Preview and select project I just get a spinning wheel and it won't go any further.  I'm working on a responsive project and I have no problems with my other project, just this one.  I have quite a bit of images loaded but nothing so big that it would cause the Preview Project to not work. I tried copying and pasting to a new project (responsive) and i got the same results.  After removing 2 slides the Preview project will work ok.  But when I try to add a new slide and manually enter tex only on the new slide it goes back to that spinning circle.  Very weird.  I tried Clearing the cache of the project as well.  Is there a limit to how many textbox captions I can do in one project?  Or a size limit wth images?  Or what else I can do to resolve the issue? I'm using Adobe Captivate 2019 on a PC.  And I'm working on a responsive project.

Hello, I have reinstalled Adobe Captivate with last version and now, I have an error message each time I launch Captivate or each time I publish a project. Below is the error message, does someone know how to solve it? Regards.--------------------------------------------CPCefHelper.exe - Application ErrorThe exception Breakpoint A breakpoint has been reached.

We are creating a preformance support system that gathers information from the user (turns variables on and off) and then give tailored recommendations throughout the environment accordingly (turns screen elements on and off). I am asking if Captivate handle custom variables, customized interface elements based on the variables, and the ability to create/export new documents that include text strings based on the variables. Specifically: If the user has indicated that s/he needs X, Y, and Z in one area of the program, then:(a) icons or words in several other areas of the program appear which help the user see issues related to X, Y, or Z; and(b) when clicking on a “create” button, a custom file could be generated with rtf text strings based on the presence of X, Y, and Z, respectively. This file could then be exported to a word processor for further editing.My question: Can Captivate do this?Thanks in advance for thinking along!
