Hello,I create a lot of Captivate projects from PowerPoint presentations and load them in my LMS.  I was informed by a peer that they will no longer work once flash goes away.  Is that correct?  I was instructed to run the HTML5 Tracked, which I have done.  They all have the error message "Only animation image is supported".  Everything runs just fine when I publish and run the in the LMS, but will this be a problem down the road? Or can I just leave them as is? Thanks,  Mara

Hi. I'm trying to debug an issue I'm having.  It would be so very helpful if I could create a Text box that always displays the cpInfoCurrentFrame.  I'm pretty sure that would require a Text Entry box with said variable.  I also suspect I won't need the accompanying Submit button that is automatically created when I initiate a new Text Entry box.It would be great if I could set its timing to "Rest of Project".  But most important is I need step by step instructions to help with the scripting necessary to have the text box display that variable.  I am envisioning a scenario where a pause command should freeze the value at the frame where the pause is initiated.  When the Timeline is running the text box should display continuously incrementing numbers.Is this possible?  I thought I saw an example of this in one of Lilybiri's posts or blog submissions.Any help would be greatly appreciated, so thanks in advance!

Hello! I'm a pretty new 2019 Captivate user. This is my first responsive project and my second project overall. I don't believe I had the font replacement issue in my first project, but definitely have it in my responsive project. I am wondering, if I purchase a fonts in adobe, will that make it so they appear to my end users regardless of whether they have the fonts installed on their computers or not.Please let me know if my question makes sense, or if I can provide more clarity. Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

Hi. I posted the other day about how when I use the "Open URL or File", the browser is communicating back to Captivate when I close the browser tab I had just launched.  Is there any way to prevent a different browser tab from communicating with Captivate?  I have a few screens with multiple buttons that Open a URL.  It seems that subsequently closing the tabs the browser uses to host these URLs advances the Captivate timeline.  Does anyone know of such communication and how to stop it?  Thanks in advance.  I'm pulling what little hair I have out over this one...

Before upgrading my Mac to the latest operations system, I need to find out if Captivate is compatible. I have version 11.8.0.710 installed. 

 Have a project where a Smart Shape used as a Button goes from a default state [0% opacity fill and 0 width stroke to its invisable] to a 'show' state [60% opacity fill of green, 0 width stoke] on the Last Attempt of an action. The end is a Sim where you click wrong twice, and the Button shows itself. Click on the Button to get to the next slide where it happens again. This is what I want it to do, but for some reason it is really slow changing between slides? Had a project that did the same thing but with a Click Box and a Button to get the same effect, and it was able to go to the next slide immediately. Its not a timing issue or setting on the slides, as I built this new one on the old one. I can even delete the State Change Buttons and put the Click Box & Button combo back in, and it runs fast again. How is one Button so much slower than a Button and a Click Box with more scripts? And what can I do to fix it? Latest vers, 64 bit, NON fluid box. Both of these are

Hi community,is there a workaround to show timestamps in a Video in Adobe Captivate, so that I can highlight some points in the video and the user can skip to this point (like it is possible with youtube videos)? Thank you for you helpManuela

Hi,I am creating a SCROM file in which the student is required to watch 4 very short videos.I've have the video skin set to NOT show any playback bar. (None)I have the whole project set to not show the playback bar (which allows you to skip slides which I don't want!).I preview it in HTML and it works fine.Once I upload it to my LMS, the bars show up! I've tried using SCORM 1.2 and xAPI versions. It happens with both.Am I missing someting? Or should I contact my LMS provider and see if there is a problem on their end?

When I select New VR project, the thumbnail in the Filmstrip is blank, and the large slide in the work area is blank with NO default button to import a VR asset. I can add hotspots to the blank slide, but although they appear in the timeline, they don't appear on the slide itself.When I open the provided project "2019 Release - Virtual Reality.cptx", I can see the images in the filmstrip, but the large slide always appears white. Any hotspots or text I add do NOT appear on the slide, although they do appear in the timeline.I had this same problem with the trial version of Captivate 2019, and with the purchased version which I just activated today.Is this a problem with my computer? It's an HP running Windows 10 with 16G of RAM.Any suggestions would be appreciated!

latest vers, 64 bit I have a quiz where i use the lil eye to hide a (shape used as a) button. they click in the wrong place enough times the button will show itself via advanced action scrpit. This works exactly how I want it UNTIL the student reveiws the quiz. The buttons are all showing and I cant figure how to make them hidden upon reveiw. I know it must be possible because we did a slightly jankier version of this with clickboxes and highlight boxes, and they are all hidden upon reveiw. No Java or anything is used to re hide the boxes in the old version either. the button set up is: click box over shapde used as button [shape1]. shape1 hidden via eye. clickbox has 2 attmpts. on last attmpt: adv action: show [shape1]. click shape1 and go to next slide. rinse and repeat on each slide. only the clickbox shows in quiz grading. janky vers: clickbox1, highlight box, clickbox2. clickbox1 has 2 attmpts. upon fail exacute script: show highlight box, show clickbox2. clickbox 2

I hope they put an orphaned Advanced Action manager into Project Charm. It is easy to find and remove images and variables but not advanced actions.

HiI have added a multi slide video (I guess thats the old slide video?)And I added a button that will pause the slide and slide video. When I the click on the button with a simple continue script on it, the video starts from the beginning. In the playhead I can see that the video continues from where it was paused. But the content of the video starts from the beginning. Why is that?BrRobert

Windows 11 running Captivate 2019 11.8.0.586. I was having issues uploading my project to SCORM cloud because it couldn't locate the imsmanifest file. Well that's because when I published the project to my computer, Captivate deleted the first letter of every file in the zipped folder. This leads to msmanifest existing instead. I tried publishing the project again and got the same result. What are possible solutions here?

Hallo, in meinem veröffentlichten Projekt ist die erste Folie immer weiß mit einem Play Button. Ich möchte aber, dass die erste Folie meines Projektes gezeigt wird. Lässt sich das irgendwie einrichten?

1) In slide 01, there is a slide audio and on the same slide 01 there are also 8 clickable buttons and all the 8 buttons have there individual audio's.2) While the slide audio is playing, if I click any 1 button out of the 8 buttons the audio from the button 1 will play and should stop the slide01 audio. 3) So in that 8 buttons when I click each button and when all the audio's from the 8 buttons are done listening/completed then next button should appear. After all 8 button audio's are done the next button should appear. How to write a advanced action for this kind of scenario?

Hi, in a results slide, I set a button with an advanced action that resets the quiz and jumps to certain slide (I used a javascript line suggested by Paul Wilson). The problem is that when testing in ScormCloud, in a second and subsequent attempts, the result slide  shows "zero", even when I did all the quiz correctly (it should show the score of 20 and the aprroved statrus). Any suggestion?

Hello i got some problems with translations and i think its because of the file ending / formation? I've tried to export the Project Captions and Closed Captions (which creates an "old" .doc file) I open the .doc with regular MS-Word and save it again as an .docx after that i drop the file into Deepl and let it translate the document in my desired language after that i open the docx in Word again and save it "back" to .doc After importing the file again into Captivate it says (0 imported) and no changes where made.Is this due because i'm formating the file in word from .doc to .docx or is there something else i'm not doing correct? Thanks for your help 

First, client demands force me to use an alias to my targeted URL.  If I want the button to load "https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/", I have to create a .htm file that contains this: <HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/'" /></HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML> and then point my Captivate button to that .htm file to load the site.  It opens fine in a new tab.Can I do this with javascript, but open the URL in a new browser window - not just another tab?  The tab has an effect on the main Captivate timeline when I close the tab.Thanks!!! 

In a project, there is a total of 11 quizzes, in that project I only want to show selected quiz results on the result slide.For eg:1) The first 3quiz result should not add with the other quiz if the answer is even right. Its result should not display on the result slide.2) When the user attempts the all 11 quizzes and when the user goes to the result slide to check and clicks the REVIEW QUIZ on the slide. It should directly take him to the 4th quiz and the from the 4th quiz to the 11th quiz it shud record the status of the right answer. It should not count the first 3 quiz results even if its right.Is there any advanced action for this type of scenario.

Hi.  I'm in search of best practices for Opening a URL, or multiple URLs from different buttons on the same Captivate screen. My problem arises when the user then closes the tab(s) for each of the URLs opened. It seems that closing the tabs advances the Captivate timeline. First, and likely irrelevant, is that the client requirements are that I use an alias to my targeted URL.  If I want the button to load "https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/", I have to create a .htm file that looks like this:<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/'" /></HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML> This is so they can change a URL by editing the external .htm file with a text editor and as such I cannot hard code the URLs into the course buttons. I have this working fine so it's not part of the issue (I don't think so, anyway). Of course my buttons must target "new" from the URL dropdow
