Questions

I'm creating an interactive activity where I want the user to select a specific part of the screen, and they can't move forward until they select the correct area of the screen (note, this is not as part of a quiz). While I know that there's a way to hide the playbar all together, is there a way to keep the playbar shown, and disable the "next" button on certain slides?

I wanted to show a coworker something in Capivate 9 from the Project menu.  His Captivate 9 did not have a Project option on the menu.  Anyone else run into this??

Hi guys,I just have a general question about responsive courses in Adobe Captivate. We are looking to build several e-learning courses designed for ALL devices (or at least as many as possible!) I have noticed looking at some captivate source code samples that I have downloaded that some ofthese templates and obviously there's one version for the desktop, one for a few other mobile devices(both horizontal and vertical format where the layout is automatically adjusted).With the one that is vertically aligned, I have also noticed that the layout is squeezed horizontally.Wouldn't it be better to have a template whereby when it comes to mobile devices, the layout is just a smaller version the desktop one and just FLIPS if the user just rotates his mobile phone lengthways?It's just that the layout that we had planned for the e-learning courses in general would not lendthemselves very well to a vertical layout!Are there any examples out there for downloading?Thanks in advance for any advice

We are using Captivate 2017. If we do not upload to a LMS, but rather have users access a HTML/SWF or PDF published file from another source such as SharePoint, is there a way to have tracking and have scoring or are these only on the LMS side or best utilized in an LMS? Thank you.

We have a webserver that can give a student credit if they pass or fail a lesson.  We don't have a lot of lessons with quizzes.  We have some new projects coming up where they want the student's grade on the quiz to be recorded.  For example, the student made a 45% out of 100.

How can a third party (customer) track the result of a captivate project with a quiz (CBT), of all its employees, using an internal server? Note, the third party does not have a captivate account, but they want to instal the project in their servers. Any ideas? Thanks.

We have a project that has quiz questions after each section that are remediated with a return to the slide with the content that gives the answer for the question they missed.  The first part works great.  When the student first sees the content there is a playbar.  When they are remediated back to a slide the playbar disappears and a button to return to the quiz appears.  Then they get to the second part it doesn't work that way.  At the first time to the content there is no playbar and the button to return to quiz is there.  This shouldn't happen until after they viewed the sections content and they are returned to the slide from the quiz.  All the return to quiz buttons have unique names and the slides advanced actions are all the same except for changing the buttons names.  The buttons are marked invisible in the properties panel and the AA is what makes them visible.  Or at least is should wait until the student returns to the content

I imported a group of 60 slides from powerpoint (pptx 2013) into my Captivate 9, however, I've noticed that by doing this, slides advance when I click anywhere on the screen even if I deleted the clickbox that I thought triggered this action. What I did was to disable this action directly in powerpoint and I didn't click "high fidelity" when importing into captivate. Nevertheless, by not clicking "high fidelity", the fonts of some slides get changed, so I need to click it. So, my question is, is there any way in which I can prevent the slides from advancing and having high fidelity clicked at the same time?

Can anyone explain why when I publish a captivate project, I am seeing the previous slide in the background of the current slide. I have tried several things and nothing is working. The slide timings are set pretty straightforward as well as the back and next buttons.  I have tried looking through threads and using suggestions. Nothing has helped. I have checked timing and everything looks fine. I have never had this happen with previous versions.Windows 10 / 64 bitVersion 11.0.1.266 Captivate non-responsive project with quiz at endUsing ThemeNot publishing to LMS yet…  just publishing local in .exe and swf.

Hi Everyone, I started using captivate only few days ago and I am already losing my mind for a problem with the preview. I have created, just as a test, a very simple PowerPoint presentation and I have imported it into Adobe Captivate 2019. There are No transitions, No animations, nothing at all but when I try to "play slide" in the preview dropdown menu I get the below issue. Can anyone help me, at least, understand what is the problem?original slide:After "play Slide":just to be clear, the original powerpoint slide is just a plain slide whit the picture you see above as "background" and that's all. Does anyone know what could possibly be the probem?Thanks

Should be the easiest thing to do, right?....I have an ordinary button labeled "Start"  In the button's properties:Action>On Success: Open URL or filehttp://www.dgs.ca.gov/orim/Programs/DDTOnlineTraining.aspxAttempts: InfiniteIt won't do anything when clicked.  No error, no nothing.  The URL is good and works in my browser.  I've tried the "Current, New and Parent" settings also, but no difference.   The published files are located on our LAN. Could that be an issue? 

Hello -  I am attempting to find a faster way to publish multiple formats from the same Captivate project. For example, given one project, I would like to publish a Windows executable, SCORM 2004, Moodle, and xAPI packages. Is this function available in Captivate, or would it be possible to write a script external to Captivate that could batch publish these projects?   Any insight is appreciated. Laura

We need to be able to put a time limit on an entire quiz.  Not by question.  The student can navigate back and forth and change answers on their quiz but after 30 minutes they are done and taken to the results slide.I've looked through the forum but haven't seen an answer.Thanks in advance.Susan

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I need to change the Submit All window's "Return to Quiz" button to "Return to Exam" but don't see where I can do it. Any suggestions?

I have been searching for any documentation on the Custom Template option available under the SCORM 1.2 option when enabling reporting. Can anyone point me to any resources or help enlighten me as to what this feature is and how to use it?Thanks!-

Hello!  I am wondering if there is a way to edit a Captivate publish template (if such exists) to add some custom functionality to the courses.Currently, after I publish a lesson, I constantly find myself unobfuscating/beautifying the CPM.js file in order to manually add a few lines of code. It would save me tons of time in the long run if I could add those lines to a template or append them to an already published CPM.js in a different, less manual way.  Any suggestion would be much apprecaited!Thank you!

I am using Captivate 7 to publish a course.  The course appears to be larger than the play area when I preview and after I publish so a lot of my content is getting "cut off" around the edges.  I published this exact same course using CP 6 just last week and did not have this problem.  The content stayed within the play area boundaries on both IE and the iPad.I can see this problem even before I publish, using the Preview options in Captivate.  Is there a new setting in CP 7 that I am missing?  Why is my course too big for the play area?  Some screen shots below:From Captivate window:this is what I see in the Preview: 

Hi community!When I go to edit text in a Pdf document the new text I add is a darker colour - how do I fix this please?

I'm having an issue with videos I've uploaded to Captivate where, when attempting to edit through Timeline, they are jumping by between 1.5 and 3+ seconds making it impossible to insert content. I've spent weeks working with Adobe Support attempting to get this resolved and was finally told it was "because the video file was too high quality."  I asked for video specifications that would allow it work properly and was told those didn't exist.  On our own, we attempted to take all videos to their lowest specs and am still having the same issue.  Adobe is now telling me the only way to do what needs to be done is to launch the video in previewer, determine the placement of the content, return to Timeline and insert.  I tried this and it absolutely doesn't work.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  If so, have you been able to resolve it?I'm looking at alternatives to Captivate but am finding there's nothing out there.

In the Captivate Specialist course, Dr. Pooja told us about a website that she uses to create a color palette that she exports and keeps in each course she creates, so the colors are handy.   Does anyone have the website?Thanks

Hi, does the 360 VR feature support publishing to SCORM. What do I need to do to enable this? Thank you.

Hi there,I'm trying to add a checkbox to a presentation that is purely optional and not linked to any other actions. Basically, it's a "terms or service"-type checkbox, but I still want it to be the button at the bottom of the screen that moves them to the next slide, not the box.I've tried adding a click box and it's showing up as 1. when I preview the project.Any suggestions?Thank you!
