Hello Adobe Captivate Community!I am a fairly new user, and I have what I hope is an easy Captivate production question.I need to be able to click on a shape in a non-responsive project and have a "pop-up" appear on screen.To illustrate my problem, I'll describe it briefly (since apprantly I can't upload screen captures) Picture a long horizontal rectangle that is a "yearly timeline" stretching horizontally from January to December. The timeline is divided in to four sections, one for each 'quarter' of the year. Each quarter has its own color. I want to be able to click on one of the four 'quarters' and have a pop-up window that shows a clipboard with a piece of paper, a couple generic icons and some type - a 'mini' graphic composition if you will. This graphic would 'pop-up' so the viewer could read it and then close it. I want one 'pop-up' for each of the four 'quarters' on this calendar timeline. This is HTML5, So we're not talking about a rollover slidelet. This is n

I am doing a rating survey and when the cobination is 1,1,2,2,1,1 the answer is 1.33333I cannot for the life of me execute a script that will just let it be 1.33This is what I have entered, what am I doing wrong???The value is called 's3_result'var s3_result = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("s3_result");var1_decimal = Math.round("s3_result"*100)/100;window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("s3_result",var1_decimal);

I'm working with Cp2019, upgraded a project from Cp9 to 2019. The Output is in HTML. I have 3 Highlight boxes that are located in a specific location in a slide. When previewing in HTML5 browser (MS Edge) or ScormCloud, the Highlight boxes are moved down and to the right of the intended location. When I preview in SWF they display in the correct place. Is there something wrong with HTML5 output?This is the CPTX...And this is the Browser preview. Thanks

HiI am wondering if it is possible to publish Captivate files to epub. I see that there  are now direct way of doing this, but as epub is packed HTML5, I wondered if it could be done by publishing HTML and convert it to epub. However the structure of the published HTML5 from Captivate is different from other unpacked epub files I have seen.  Is it possible at all? Has anybody tried and succeeded or failed and can tell me if it is possible at all?ThanksJan

I have a course that was created in Adobe Captiate 8.  I need to either update or start over with the course to remove Flash to be prepared when Flash is no longer supported on the network.  I now have Adobe Captivate 2017.  Are there options available to identify all Flash elements and change them to non-Flash?

Not sure the title of this post accurately describes the challenge I am experiencing with a Captivate 2019 project.The slide is formatted to display various text in sync with audio narration.  At the conclusion of the audio the Next and Back buttons are displayed however they are not functional i n spite of my trying many things.Not sure what is interfering with the timeline.  

Hi everyone, I need some help with the smart shapes. I'm modifiying a course where the student has to click in one lightbulb and then a hint open showing an Hyperlink. The problem is that if I publis it in exectuble format, when I click the lightbulb this instantly open the hint. However, if I export it with HTML 5, it does not work. In my company we only work with HTML and flashplayer is locked. Has anyone been in the same situation? I have been invesitgating even with the IT department and has been imposible. Thank you so much

Has anybody implemented a game controller - such as those used for Xbox and PlayStation games?Back when I used Flash/Actionscript3, I had developed a small scenario using the GameInput class.  Game Controllers are supported under HTML5 with 'navigator.getGamepads', I am currently using Adobe Captivate 2017, but I have not had any luck figuring out how to 'listen' for button clicks, etc. (via the javascript window feature).Any thoughts?thanks in advance!

"Microsoft Word has stopped working"I keep getting this error every time I import Project Captions and Closed Captions.

Having no problems in any other browser but user testing is revealing locking up/freezing on slides which contain video. Also some button functions are just not playing nice on Edge but work perfectly fine in Chrome. The general experience in Edge seems subpar compared to other browsers but like most corporate environments Edge is the first available offering when it comes to browsers.

cap 2019 v - I have 2 slides in my project and when i click preview, it generates, but then nothing happens, no preview shows, is this a bug?  when I click project, it generates and I can view the 2 slides, but why can I not preview one slide at a time, I am on a p.c.

1. I don't see the content displayed in the project itself (just the background of the pages and buttons i added)2.I see the HTML as a "video" (with a play triangle and underneath the setup menu and buttons) and not as a eLearning course What am I doing wrong?

HI there,  I'm new to captivate 19 and have put together a software simulation & have used the Text to speech to generate audio for the slides.  When I play back though the first word on some of the slides seem to cut off & is unable to be heard both in preview and after producing the project. Has anyone else had this & know how to cure? Thanks in advance

I wanted to implement this but couldnt find any tutorials on it, so i figured it out on my own and im making my own tutorial. Say you want to create a survey with a range and whatever range the user ends up in determines what answer they get.  so in my example with 12 questions the interval notation would be(- infinity, Answer1, 19] or negative infinity < Answer 1 <= 19[20, Answer 2, 28] or 20<= Answer 2 <= 28[29, Answer 3, infinity) or 29 <= Answer 3 <infinity First ready your answer options on the quiz results page.  Make the possible answers on each of the quiz question pages and add a new state to them, make this new state blank.  Name it so you can find it again. I named mine Answer 1 Blank, Answer 2 Blank, Answer 3 Blank Add your questions and possible answers, I added the answers as text boxes with hitboxes on top of them Add your variable, I named it scoreIts a user type and i gave it a default value of 1 Next add the ad

 Since I am not sure if I would be able to run published Adobe Captivate in my WordPress Divi Theme website, I was thinking of having the Captivate modules run on an external LMS. I could have a Preview button from the website link to the LMS.Since I am very new to Moodle, I was wondering if anyone know of any sample Moodle LMS examples that run eLearing Modules already. In addition, could I change the look of my Moodle Cloud to closely match the color scheme that my WordPress website is using?Thanks for your help.  

Hello!  I need to create a test in which the same collections of questions are asked, but in a randomized order.  I see a potential path to use by creating a random question linked to a pool of questions attached to that slide, however I need to be sure that all of the questions appear in the test.  I have two questions:First, if this is indeed the path I need to take, will questions selected from a pool be displayed again if the same pool is used (I suspect this is a strong possibility)?Secondly, is there an easier way to have the questions simply appear in a random order?Thank you!

In a course, I need to create 5 questions from a pool of 10 questions. Initially I tried creating 5 pools that contains 2 questions each and enabled randomisation for 1 question per pool. Every time when I retake the assessment on failure, the same questions will be shown again wihtout any randomisation. Then I tried using 2 pools that contains 5 questions each. This time I have enabled radomisation of 3 from pool 1 and 2 from pool 2. Then also every retake attempt same questions from both pools are repeated. Please suggest how can I create 5 randomised questions from a total of 10 questions. In my course, my client wants randomised questions every time when a learner retake the assessment without exiting the course. Is it possible to make this happen?

Hi - I have a page with 6 images I want to show based on 6 click boxes. My plan (I work with other software as well) was to:- For the first click box: Create an advanced action with all 6 images- Show the first image and hide the other 5- Copy/paste that click Box 5X (with advanced action already done)- Edit the other 5 click boxes' action to simply change Hide to Show as required The problem: When I change Hide to Show, the itme I wish to chnage disappears and has to be reselected.Any way to simply change the Hides and Shows without losing what is alreadt entered?
