OK - I am sort of piggybacking off of this threadSelecting and playing audio with javascript In my case, I only have a single audio file that I would like to play on the click of a button.Now... I know I can do this easily with an on success action and it works perfectly.I also know that I can play the audio with an advanced action and it works fine.But... I can do several other simple actions on a button with a single line of javascript.cp.showcp.hidecp.disablecp.enablecp.changeStatewindow.parent.cpAPIInterface.gotoSlidevar=(++var)var=(--var)just to name a few...I prefer to use these whenever I can because it is much faster to type or copy/paste longer strings of stuff than doing all the clicks in the GUISo to my question...Is there a short and sweet thing for playing an audio file you have in the library as well?You know - something likecp.play("sound.mp3");cp.playAudio("sound.mp3");window.parent.cpAPIInterface.play("sound.mp3");I have tried many other combinations of things similar

Good day, all;  I am looking for some help with a reporting issue that I can't quite figure out. I'm hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction with some solutions on where to start looking.  I created three simulations in Captivate 2019 (11.5.4.613 for Mac) that have tasks for quiz points (no negative points). All three simulations have the same quiz preferences for reporting, settings and pass or fail, and as you can see from the attached PDFs of Advanced Interactions, all the quiz questions have points and report to the total. Further, all three have the same settings in the LMS (Blackboard): unlimited attempts and a requirement of 80% to pass to further the tasks via adaptive release. The issue is that one of the simulations is not reporting 100% even if everything is done correctly. I have done this myself to test after a participant alerted me to the issue, and what's more, it wouldn't be a coincidence that everyone is getting 100%

Hello everyone, inside my Captivate 2019 project I have about 4-5 slides where a "fun fact" icon appears where the user can click on it and a text box pops up with a blurb about that fact. I need the user to stay on the same slide, and for them to be able to "x" out of the window as well. This seems so easy in concept yet I can't find any videos on it specifically. 

Hello all, I have a multiple correct custom knowledge check slide that I've created where more than one answer must be selected. I've created advanced actions where I only want the learner to have one attempt, once the question is answered I want the submit button to disappear and the next button to appear to continue to the next slide. Currently, it is doing the opposite where the next button is always there. I don't know where I am going wrong under advanced actions for the submit button to execute this action. This is what I have set up so far under the submit button:  Then if any of the incorrect answers are selected the action looks like the tab below for each of them: The correct answer is A and B and that action looks like this below:Then finally after the last attempt action is found below: I can't figure out where I am going wrong? Any help or insight is much appreciated :).   

Hi I am trying to open some Captivate files, which I created last year, before I upgraded my verions of Captivate. They take ages to load, but once they are loaded, Captivate tries to "Update Missing Fonts" and then freezes at 50%. The fonts are not missing from Adobe Creative cloud, so I have no idea what to do.Any suggestions?Regards

Last year, I recorded a simulation in Captivate. The resulting project was 1920 x 1080.  I published the video using SCORM 1.2 and posted it to our LMS, and it played perfectly. This year, I made a copy of the original and edited the file:Edited some of the audioAdded captions to all the slidesAdded javascript to the first slide to surpress the "x" on the caption boxesAdded Play/Pause/CC buttons (inserted images, applied "Use as Button", added Advanced Actions)  When I preview the project, it looks great, but when I publish it, I see issuesIf I publish as MP4, the last slide (image only) is missing from the MP4. The audio is there, but not the last slide image.If I publish as SCORM zip file and post the recording to our LMS, when it plays, the video is oversized (too big to fit in the browser window), so the outer edges are cut off. The original video did not have these issues. I'm not sure what went wrong during editing, but I need the video to publish and pla

HiI have to buttons inside my menu that when pressed show a submenu and pause the video. When the button for closing the submenu are pressed the video continue.A bit out on the timeline / the video I have several interactive elements that the user needs to take a stand on. Everything is custom made. When these interactive elements are presented I would like to prevent the video to keep playing if the user are navigating the menu. I was thinking of using a variable that change on a specifik frame using a onload script at the slide as showed below. 

Hi all,I have never used Captivate before, and trying to work it out. I'm trying to convert some PowerPoints to html5. When I import them as a project everything looks good, and is exactly how I want it:https://imgur.com/a/PQrECimHowever, once I actually preview the content, it seems to lose all formatting and ends up looking like this:https://imgur.com/a/w8oy2DEAgain, I've never used captivate, so I may just be missing something really obvious

I created an advanced action so that the next button on the slide would only appear if all of the buttons on the screen have been clicked.  Below is the screen shot of the action that was applied to all four buttons in question (edited for each button to which it was applied).   No problems so far.  But then I added an action to play audio.  I recorded a piece of audio in captivate, added a line in the "standard" tab of the advance action to play audio and selected the appropriate clip.  I changed nothing on the "show next" tab. Ever since I added that simple audio clip, now the conditional part of the advanced action stopped working.  After clicking all four buttons, the next button no longer appears.  I feel like the audio should not have affected the other parts of the action, but I'm still very much a novice user of Captivate.  Did I mess up my advance action or is this something that Captivate is messing up?  Thank y

Hi, I'm building my own subtitles/CC with JS, but something messes up. When I spread the subtitle objects (smart shapes) along the time line, the code below cannot cope with objects that are not appearing on the moment the a self made subtitle on/off buton has been clicked. So how can I bypass the CP CSS visibility? $('[id^="Subtitle"]').each(function( index ){if($( this ).css('visibility') ==='visible')cp.hide(this.id)else cp.show(this.id);}); /Jacob

HiI found the solution for this problem earlier but cant find it again so I will ask here:)I have created a slide out/in menu with the scripts below.They work as they should but only once. The first script are on a hamburger menu that slide the menu in to the right. The last are an X button inside a group that slide the menu out to the left.This work only once.  Could anyone point me to the solution that I no more remember 🙂   

I realize that I can use my scrolling wheel on my trackball (or mouse - I just happen to bond with Logitech trackballs), but are there any workarounds to have the TOC scroll automatically as the user progresses through my course?  It's counter-intuitive for the slides to advance, but the TOC just sits there.  First time users may not be aware that they have to manually move the scrollbar to get it back in "sync" with the slide they are viewing.  It just seems like an oversight.  Is there a way around this - a setting I'm missing or a variable that can be used to advance the TOC as a slide advances?If not, I'll have to add that tidbit of knowledge to my custom "How to use this course" slide, which I add to all my courses (usually the 2nd or 3rd slide right after the introductory slide(s).Thanks!!

I created a responsive project with a mobile portrait breakpoint width of 428px. When I view the project on my iPhone 11 in portrait mode it breaks at the tablet portrait size, not the mobile portrait size. After doing some research, I understand now that this happens because of the browser resolution on my phone. If I change the Safari settings to 300%, the project displays as I expected. Of course, I can't expect other users to change their preferences to view the project. What is a better way to handle this?

I would like to create a set of sample pages (like Asset pages) that I can add to multiple projects. How can I do this while saving them locally so that I have the proper corporate logos, pallete, fonts, etc.?I like being able to add a page at a time to my slides, and have all the scripts merged in correctly. 

Hello all; I'm having an issue stopping triggered audio. I've searched here but I'm not sure I understand any of the answers and I'm hoping I'm just missing something silly. I have a slide with four flip cards on it, with audio attached to the 'card back' state. The slide has intro audio, and each card is set to stop slide audio on click. That works just fine (as does the flip action of the cards). I have tried adding Stop Triggered Audio to each of the advanced actions written for the flip cards, but I can't get it to work. I've put it in different parts of the sequence thinking it needs to happen before other things, but nothing helped. I've separated it as its own decision within the advanced action, but that didn't help either. At the moment as a last resort I have a "listen to each card fully before you click another card" message in the slide audio but if they don't hear it all and start clicking away, it's aural mayhem!Could someone have a quick peek here and

Hi,I am using Captivate 5. Anybody knows how to insert a hyperlink in a text caption? For example, the texts in the text caption are "See Adobe Captivate Forum for details." How to create a hyperlink for "Adobe Captivate Forum" which leads to the forum website?Thanks,Helen

Hello.  I have received a lot of help on this forum and just wanted to say I appreciate everyone who has chimed in, whether to me or anyone else facing struggles with Captivate.  So thanks in advance! My current situation involves placing more than one button (two, actually) on a slide, and restricting forward movement to the next slide until both buttons have been clicked on and viewed (in a new browser tab).  The slide will have audio.  While not ideal, if necessary, I can delay the placement of the buttons until the audio is complete.I'd prefer the user to:1. open the first link by pressing the button with the action to "Open the URL or File", which should load a pdf into a new browser window:2. view the pdf in a browser window:3. then close the browser tab that it opened,4. and then the user clicks the second button to open the second link, just as above,5. and then close it's browser tab -- which will then present/enable the "Play" icon in the playbar, to

Hello everyone, does anyone know if there is a way in Adobe Captivate to reveal an image and text with a soft blend in by clicking on a button?Both, image and text have two states. Invisible in the normal state and visible on the second state.  By using an advanced script the image blends in softly since I used the alpha to make it in/visible. Unfortunately, it does not work with the text. Either there is no effect animation and the text just appears or if I combine changing the state to state 2 and add then the effect (even if I do it the other way round) the text appears for split seconds and then the effect plays.  I would very appreciate any input! Thanks in advance. 

I have been creating a project using Captivate 2019, 11.8.0.710 (Mac M1) and I am in the process of creating quizzes etc. I downloaded the Adobe Captivate "create-quizzes" to use as a reference. The create-quizzes project has a creation date of 2018 so I assume as it is an Adobe file that it was created using Captivate 2017.When previewing or publishing the "create-quizzes" project the menu options are different from the a 2019 project.Why the difference when both projects are opened using Captivate 2019 (Mac). The screenshots below show the differences. Can anyone explain why? 2019:    

I recently had to re-install Captive 2019 and now when I open the closed captioning setting it locks up and won't allow me to do anything.  I have to go to my task manager to close the program.  I have tried this 5+ times and had no success.  I used closed captioning previously without an issue.  Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Currently I am running Captivate 2019 on a MacBook Pro M1. I am planning to buy the new Mac Mini M2 for my office but I have heard that Captivate 2019 will not run on the M2 chip. Can anyone confirm this and if so, what is Adobe's forecast to upgrade Captivate for the M2 chip Thank youBobG

I am using the trial version of Adobe Captivate 2019. I used the text-to-speech feature to narrate the process flow displayed in a video. However, the audio's timeline keeps going back to default whenever I update the slide note. Is this because I am using the trial version? Can someone help me with this?

I am trying to imitate layer function of storyline by using groups. So I want to display a modal, when the click on the button. To close the modal, I also use X button(shape). I want to close the modal + change the state of button that is clicked for opening this modal.  But as you can see it is grayed out.
