Hello there,Our client asks us to oblige users to answer the drag&drop before continuing the course.We thought about hiding the "continue" button until the elements are dropped somewhere, but we see no options to do so.Would you have an idea to resolve this issue?Thank you in advance!

I made a few Captivate 2017 projects and tested them on my LMS quite satisfactorily (everything was bookmarked, completion achieved, quiz passed or reached attempt limit, certificate issued by LMS).  But now I can't seem to get the certificate.  The course advances and bookmarks fine, I get a satisfactory green checkmark next to it, pass the quiz, and... nothing.  LMS does not seem to see the course as completed and does not issue a graduation certificate.  The course just sits in my grade book, and if I relaunch it, I see that I'm on the last slide, and there's a green checkmark, but no certificate.  I fully admit that I messed with quiz preferences A LOT, almost every time I uploaded a course to my LMS because I didn't really know what I was doing at first, and I was trying out everything.  But clearly, I was onto something in the beginning, and messed something up since.  I can tell you what my settings are NOW, but no way can I remember what my se

I have just recorded 141 slides for a new project, which at this point contains no audio, video, quiz, action script, user variables. The only thing I added were some images (pngs) that I superimposed on some slides. I deleted all those images and still keep receiving the error message below when I try to play the project or view in the browser.    Swf compilation failed. Note: Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name.Any assistance would be very much appreciated, because like most of us developers, I have a project deadline hanging over my head!

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with this. I'm working on a project that may require 'linking' several Captivate projects (at the end of one, use actions to open another project). I've been working on building a custom table of contents bar already, and have navigation working around in one project, but does anyone have an idea if this would work to have one table of contents navigate between multiple linked projects? The TOC I'm working on, I'm building in Adobe Animate and then exporting as an .oam file, I understand it would have to be added onto to each project, and that alone will probably cause some hiccups. . I have no idea if this is possible, and I'm feeling likely that it's not, but if anyone has experience with a way to code a button to jump from one project to another (and to a specific slide within that project), I'd appreciate any enlightenment!Thanks!

Hi. I'm developing a course where the user should be able to choose a character (male or female). Theses characters will only appear in 3 slides: at the beggining and at the end. I think this feature I want, should only work with Advanced Actions. I could make it work, but only at the same slide as a test.Can anyone help me do that? I wanted to change the state of Animation 9 (Slides 3, 4 and 20) to "female character state" when the user clicks the button (Slide 2)

Hello, Is there any way to make the text in a text entry box align to the top?

I'm currently creating a tool to simulate a piece of software.  I can't record the software because I only have the software users guide to build this from.  I'd like to have a menu across the top that simulates the software's menu, without having to copy and paste it to each slide.  Is there a tutorial or some advice someone could share.  How I'd like this to work is that the menu appears across the top of the screen and no matter what the slides content is when an item in the menu bar is clicked the appropriate menu and sub menus open.Thanks in advance for any help.Susan

In the Quiz Preference I have set up in the lesson:If a student passes and clicks the Continue button, they go to the certificate slideIf they failed, and the Continue button Captivate 7 is to take them back to the beginning of the lessonI have set that in the Quiz Preference, but when a student fails the Continue button does nothing, what is wrong?

Using Presenter 11 and I cannot seem to find a way to stop the user from skipping a head.  The only option is to remove the Outline and Thumb panes.  I would like them to be able to easily navigate back but not skip to the quiz without viewing all slides.Thanks

Hi!  I build a course in Captivate 17 and have created a Table of Contents that allows learners to jump back once they have completed a section but not move forward until the entire section is complete.   This works well when they are in the course through completion.   However, if a learner completes a course and comes back in, it will return them to the final page but it won't let them go back to other sections for review or take the Challenge if they so choose.  How do I keep navigation locked in the table of contents the first time the learner goes through the course where they cannot jump ahead but allows them to move around the course freely once they have completed it and relaunched it?The TOC is currently set as such:Self-paced learning is checked (bookmarking)Show Topic Duration is checked (format)Enable Navigation is checkedNavigate Visited Slides Only is checked (assumed this was how they could go back and move around in the course... works to g

I used the Youtube widget in Learning interactions to include a 42 second video on a slide that has other content and voice-to-text audio. The video comes up and can be played as it should, but quits and moves on to the next slide at random intervals (usually between 20 and 38 seconds). Any ideas on why the video is not completing and how I can make sure it does?

Hi, I am trying to capture user's comments to be sent to an email address. How is this possible?  Thank you.

Dear all,I'd like to add a "visited" state on my submit button. How can I do that?If I cannot add this state, how can I make the button disappear one the user has clicked?What is happening now is that when my user clicks, she/he get a feedback (right or wrong). When she/he clicks on submit again, the feedback disappears. This is wrong behaviour to me.Thanks

Hello,I do not want people to see what the completed puzzle is to look like while they are putting the pieces together.  How do I hide/get rid of the preview/timer in the corner?Thanks!Carrie

Hello,I have been searching for a solution to this and cannot find one. I am creating a software training and have to load in some variables naturally. I needed some random numbers, so I decided I would initialize all of my variable in JavaScript. Having a programming background I passed a variable OD_SPH as a string from JavaScript to Captivate. Sampled below.var OD_SPH = "-3.00";window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("OD_SPH", OD_SPH);When I attempt to display in captivate it converts this to -3 on display when I need it to show the trailing zeros. I've confirmed that JavaScript is capturing this as a string, but it would seem that captivate is converting this to an integer. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to display properly?Thank you in advance,Jacob Strand

Hi,Please can I ask for help? This is driving me nuts!I have used both Edge and Animate to create an oam file to use in my project. I have selected media and successfully imported the file. However, what it's actually done is altered the viewer's ability to see all of the animation. It's cut off 40% of the width view.It doesn't let me resize to 100% within the fluid box.Has anyone come across this? Would they be prepared to help out someone still learning the software?Thanks!!Andrew

Hi all!!I am a Special Education teacher tasked with developing e-learning modules for our company BIG LIFE Publishing LLC. We cover social-emotional curriculum and are starting our focus audience on the 10-12 range. The people who would be using our program would be teachers, counselors, and families. The children or clients will go through each of the modules to earn their "Key" for a BIG Life! We also want a separate platform for those who need to become Keys Coaches, i.e. those eligible (certified) to teach the KEYS to others. In addition to a community forum such as this one where people can post and discuss questions.We need advice on what the best LMS would be for this avenue of learning. Captivate Prime is great but it is per student and that is not where we are at yet in this process. Mostly the counselors, teachers, or parents would access the progress.We have all the Adobe CC Suite, Stock, Captivate, and Video Presenter Express. We have a website on GoDaddy (needs developmen

I made a software simulation and I am having problems with the assessment.  In the demo (video) I explain that in excel to calculate the average you type "=av" and then double-click "average" in the drop down menu.  However in the assessment I have to type "=av" and press enter to be able to to double click "average" from the drop down menu.  This can confuse the learner, he may think than he needs to to click enter after typing "=av" in excel.  Is there anyway to fix this?

Hello Friends,   I will be attending the October 2018 Adobe Learning event in Las Vegas. I will be attending the Certification program pre-conference event. I would like to practice my Captivate skills to prep for this certification test, but the materials will not be coming out until the end of next week. Do you have any suggestions on topics to review/practice or study? I appreciate your suggestions.Cheers!Peter

Hi, I have set up a short answer quiz, requiring the learner to write short reflective answers into 5 questions. The intention is to create a reflective journal into the course. How can I enable myself then Administrator/Manager to see the text responses and how does the learner see their results; and can they store and export the results to any other format?

Hello,I have a slide with 3 click boxes, each with the Continue Playing the Project checked. The problem occurs when a user clicks on the click box at the end of the timeline. This results in the slide auto-advancing to the next slide. This only happens when the user clicks a click box at the end of the slide's timeline. If the click box is clicked at any other time, the slide does not advance, which is how it should be. How can I stop the auto-advance from happening?Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have.Ken

I used this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm3qOekdsZ4 by Paul Wilson to create a Table of Contents drop-down menu to jump to any section of the project and I finally got everything to work with one exception that is actually quite problematic and am praying someone here may have an answer. The slides with embedded video always appear on top of the TOC drop down menu. I have the web object w/ embed code to video sent to the back and the drop down menu set to always on top and brought to the front but the embedded video is still on top and the menu appears behind it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
