I am struggling with creating buttons that align with a specific brand identity in the new version of Captivate. There is only one entry box to change the padding, and it adds the padding on all sides. This is not typically how you design a button. You should have—at a minimum—the ability to add padding horizontally and vertically separately. The default padding is way too tight horizontally, but if I want to change that it adds vertical padding, too. Is there a way to only change the horizontal padding?  

Can you change padding or margins in the new version of captivate? I think the text to too close to the headings on many of the slides and on others, it's too far away. Is there a way to change the padding or margins?  

I'm trying to work out how to have both a custom state and a selected state. In the past, if I wanted a selected state I created a custom state and then used advanced actions that set that button to selected and the rest to normal. Doing it this way, any in-built visited sate gets overridden by the advanced action. The only way I can image doing it is with variables for each button and a bunch of conditional statesments one every button that check the variables of the other buttons to set them to visited or normal. That sounds really unweildy to me.Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello, Just wondering if anyone knows if we're able to embedd a 360 degree immersive video onto captivate and once published in the scorm it'll work okay and be immersive, I know we have 360 slides where we can add 360 images but wasn't sure if we have the capability for a video in captivate, my manager was asking me if we can do that. 

I am experiencing a problem with a project I created in Adobe Captivate 2019. The slides stop advancing after slide 35, but this issue only occurs when viewing the project on mobile devices. When I view the project on a desktop computer, it works fine and does not have this issue. The problem persists across different browsers on mobile devices and is not resolved by clearing the cache. What could be causing this mobile-specific problem, and how can it be addressed?

(Captivate 2019 on windows 11)I have some textboxes hidden. On screen is a button that , when clicked, should show the 3 textboxes one at a time.  But, when I wait before clickingg the button, the animation of the 3 textboxes has already occured, How can I get timing to begin upon button click?

HelloI am trying to use Advanced Actions in my quiz slides. I am using Captivate 2019 11.8.0I want my user to view/answer 3 questions. If they get any of them incorrect (after answering all 3) it would play a simulation slide. If they get them all correct, it would jump to the next question slide. I am self taught on Captivate and I cannot figure this out! Thank you in advance!   

Hi,Is there a way to change the text that appears after exiting the presentation? "Thank you for exiting the content. You may now navigate away from this content." Thanks

Hi guys, I have added text boxes over informaiton that I do not want displayed when turning the Captivate file into a video.When I check the timings on the text boxes, they commence at the beginning and go to the end of the entire slide, however when I run the video there is a split second that the text box is not displayed, then displaying the information that i do not want shown.Is there a way of fixing this?Judy

Hello,I am trying to create a vertical button group in the new Captivate to make it look like the following: But I am unable to reduce the spacing between two buttons in the new Captivate: My question is, whether it is possible to achieve that in new Captivate or not?

Hi all!I'm having a problem exporting Closed Caption text to Word - and it looks like another user posted about this September 2020. Doesn't look like she got a definitive reply. When I Export Project Captions and Closed Captions, the Word document is showing up empty. If I remove the Closed Captioned slides adn only have Project Captions, the export works fine. So the issue appears to be coming from the CCs. Has anyone else had this problem?

...Hello Captivaters !...As many of you, I couldn't wait to discover the brand new Captivate that we have waited for so long !... So yesterday I downloaded it... Watched all the videos tutorial which were available... And started to "play" with it...For me, at the first sight... It's not "charming" at all !!!... It's only available for responsive projects and so doesn't seem to offer all the opportunities that we had with the previous version... No more library... No more advanced or shared actions... And the personalizations seem limited to horizontal pre-formated "blocks"... I also discovered that my old projects opened by default (when double-clicked from my Windows Explorer) with the new version !!...So I desinstall it... for now... hoping that improvements will be done...And as I return to my "old" version this morning, I discover that a new update of Captivate was available !... It's now 11.8.2 !... And it changes its name !... Becoming now "Captivate Classic" !...And as I l

Gentlefolk,This could be an issue of being too clever by half, but...I have a Captivate project that has a certificate with user name and date inserted by advanced actions. That part works fine.I included a PRINT button at the bottom that when clicked executes:window.print(); The certificate displays at the far-right margin, making printout not correct. For if the the prinout is enlarged so it roughly covers a landscape letter, the certificate image then goes to a second page. I have, in Captivate, moved the image to the far left of the stage, and this helps, but then it makes the Captivate presentation look flaky. What I want is for the print command to center the image, not have it peg to the right side. Does this make any sense? Suggestions for a solution?  Thank you!

Hi All, Hope all is well. I just recently updated my captivate version to 11.8.1.219, so I'm not sure if I'm missing something in the publish setting. There was an issue in the resolution not appearing in full when I uploaded it on a LMS, please see attached image. I've asked my colleague which has 11.5.5.553 to use the same file and publish it on her end. its seems fine and gives the full resolution, please see attached image. another thing I noticed is that, my published zip file has 4.5mb while she got 3.6mb after publishing it. We tried to check but we got the same settings so far. I might missed something. Hoping someone can help me. Thank you so much!

I upgraded to Captivate 11.8.1.219, but now I can't find audio hardware

HiI am using micronavigation using the cpInfoCurrentFrame to show certain objects on certain frames.When I preview the course and quick use the playbar to drag to the frame where the object should pop up. Its excactly where I want it to be as regarding to the video..When I watch the whole course from start to end the object pops up at the same frame. But the slide video are about 3 seconds ahead of the frame than when I scrolled to it. Why is that And what can I do about it?

I am using a Macbook Air with an M1 chip and the Ventura OS to use Captviate. I'm running the most recent version of Captivate (11.8.1) and I have Rosetta 2 installed. The software crashes constantly (about 4x an hour) and I'm losing work. It crashes when trying to save, when accessing assets, and when trying to exit the program, among other scenarios. Any ideas on what might be the problem? 

Hi I would like to fetch the text data from an object on any slide e.g cp.model.data.Slide5832.si[6].I see can see some of the relevant objects properties like position etc, however the actual text data of the layer is only avaliable in CPM.js as a html string.Does anyone know what function could be used to extract the html string from CPM.js by using the object reference in cp.model.data? Would be a massive help to my project if anyone knows how to do this!Thanks Jorgen

Hi,CP 9.0.2.437.I have a course with 4 smart shapes on every page used as buttons. Next, Back, Play/Pause and Open close TOC. It really total of 6 buttons, but the the two toggling buttons are placed on top of each other and using advanced actions they hide the undesired one for the obvious reason. The toggle buttons are placed on slide 2 and set to appear for the rest of the project "on top". The Next and Back buttons are placed on every slide individually due to some have pause buttons and others do not. Each button has 3 states - up, over and down.The issue:Each button does not react to a state change and is inactive for the top half of the button. Placing the mouse on the upper half does not display the hover state, and the button is not clickable. Only moving the mouse to the lower half works.Any solutions or ideas?

When I select File>Print and attempt to publish to Microsoft Word (to create handouts), the process begins and then fails, accompanied by an alert that reads:"Publish to MS Word failed. Retry after ensuring that- The document is not open.- You have installed Microsoft Word."I have ensured that both of those bullet items are true, and I continue to experience the same issue, repeatedly. I have MS Office 2011 installed on my MacBook Pro.I was about to post this question, when I had another idea, which turned out to be a workaround for the issue. I'm posting my question along with this simple solution anyway, in case anyone else is experiencing the same problem:If I launch MS Word before attempting to print the project in Captivate, then I'm able to successfully print/publish to MS Word from within Captivate. It appears that Captivate is unable to independently open Word, at least on my system.If anyone knows how to get Captivate to print to MS Word without having to first open the Wor

Complete newbie to Captivate. I'm building a training on ergonomics. I am trying to create two things:- a knowledge check assessment for the course content- a (ergonomic self-risk assessment) survey that asks the user a few questions and, depending on their answers, emails an admin who will then follow up with the learnerIs this possible to have these two different features? Any insight you have into how I can do this OR what words to Google to figure out how to do it would be great. Thanks!
