I have a variation on a drag-and-drop quiz with a bit of a twist and I'm having trouble finding a solution. I have 4 drag objects on the left that have to be dragged 3 separate times each to 3 different cells in a table - the drag and drop objects have all been created and named in CP. Any idea on setting this up? Is it possible?  

Hi, I created a new responsive project and tried unsuccessfully to import assets into the project.  Initially, after I selected the asset (project, slide, character), I could see the message "Insert Asset" although nothing happend except for the message being refreshed on the screen. After I restarted my laptop, the "Insert Asset" message didn't appear anymore, and the asset was still not inserted.  Adobe Captivate is installed on MacOS (Monterey), and the account is not personal. I did reach out to our support team, but I am curios is somebody else had this issue and figured out how to fix it. Thanks,Beatrice

I have a slide with a video and at the end of the video go to the slide where there is a random question from a pool of three questions.If the student submit the rigth question continue to the next slide and i don’t have no problem but if he failed question jump to previous slide and when return on the random question, the question is the same to the last attempt and is not random. I would that the question will be random from the pool of questions.I’m using (cp.resetQuizData()) a script in Advanced Action to restart data to make interactive the question at the next attmept.How can i resolve this?

Hello, We have an odd situation in one of the courses we have developed. We have used mostly default templates in the course. We have customised a Try Me (Assessment) in a course, with Default scoring functionality. We have used a customised 'Retake Course' button on the Results page - with this Java script code [cp.resetQuizData();]. We have used a manual reset for the rest of the variables in the course. The course goes smoothly in the first attempt (the screens do not get stuck anywhere). But on clicking the Retake Course button, it sometimes gets stuck on a few screens (Forward navigation gets stuck, Backward navigation remains ok) - and Captivate throws some error in the browser console. Please refer to the attached screenshot of the error. Would anyone have a solution to this? Please do let us know. Thank you. Pankaj Sahare

Captivate 2019 version 11.5.1.499: I want to use the Glossary widget for my project, but will be creating many additional projects that will use the same glossary. The widget allows for you to upload and XML file, but the only help I can find on how to start the widget XML writing process is from the captivate versions 8 and 9. I have been able to understand what to write in the XML file, but have yet to figure out how to start it in terms of the Root and the Child being that the Glossary widget hides all the words under the corresponding letter to make the glossary organized and searchable. I am using XML notepad to write my XML file. Any assistance on how to start the root/child relationship would be greatly appreciated. This will allow one glossary file to be created and uploaded into several trainings vice having to populate numerous glossary widgets.  

I am using Captivate 2019. I made the Tab key work as a shortcut for a published HTML 5 file from Captivate in order to allow students to go to the next slide and it works fine on Chrome but not on Firefox. Is there a fix for this? Thanks 

Hello,I was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to create an LMS for our client, who uses Opigno as their LMS server. No matter what I do though, their LMS is not registering the course has succeeded or completed.I am using SCORM 2004, 3rd edition. The program is a series of videos with no quizzes. I tried setting the completion and success criteria to user access/Slide view (15%) and quiz (i programmed points in the next buttons) but nothing seem to work, their LMS always display: "Please complete this activity to proceed" Their Opigno FAQ states that it retrieves the following variables:cmi.score.rawcmi.score.mincmi.score.maxcmi.score.scaledbut that mi.completion_status, cmi.success_status are not conditions of completion. If anybody would have an idea on what to configure, it would be immensely appreciated. Thanks!! 

Hello all!I am not good with Javascript but was able to come up with random numbers using these forums and Google.Does anyone know how to come up with a random string?  IE 6 to 8 characters of numbers and letters?  I have seen some Javascript that seems to work but not sure if getting it to work in Captivate is different as I have not had success.This is what I used for number:function getRandomInt(min, max) {   var jsRandomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;   alert(jsRandomNumber);}getRandomInt(0,1000);Appreciate the time!

Lily - as requested, new thread for question asked 🙂 btw - im in UK so roughly same timeline - was not expecting an response at midnight! 😄 copied from other thread:Lily - question for you as this is driving me mad....I have a slide with shapes on... and a button. when i enter the slide, i want those shapes to show (by default) on entry, as well as the button... when i press the button, the shapes move (think like a button that you press and the doors slide open, thats the kind of thing im going for here. When the button is pressed, the sliding doors part, revealing the 'stage and content' behind it' I have created an advanced action, with motion paths for the shapes (custom ones that will move to the scrap area once the motion has been completed ), a variable for the button, all imported etc and all is working... problem is... the animation starts as soon as i enter the slide and i cant stop it. how do i get it so that the shapes are there... but they wait fo

Captivate has often caused me issues but with determination, I found a solution, sadly not today. Using a Mac with all updates and the latest version of Captivate. Customer specifics dictate I must use Futura PT font. Following posts on this site and youtube, I believe I have 3 options. 1) Use Google Fonts - Not an option as I cannot find this font there. 2) Download the font and add it to the file ( I think I need some CSS knowledge to do this, which I do not understand). 3) Use ADOBE FONTS, I have a full CC licence and have activated the whole font family within there.It is allowing me to select the font but when I come to preview or publish my project I am only displaying Times New Roman. Really at a loss to see what I have done wrong. I have read a number of posts and it seems a relatively simple process so I must be missing something simple. Any support would be much appreciated.    

Hi, I have created an advanced action which has a 'apply effect' setting in it that moves the button from one postion to another. The effect is a Motion path>Left to right (and back again)... problem i have is, although it is working, i can see where i can set the 'motion path to? it starts in the right place.... but when testing, the button is clicked... it moved half way across the screen where, i only wan it to move a cm 2 to the right. where do i go to control the path?  many thanks!

Hello. I am new to Captivate, and have a request to make a shift for an existing Captivate Knowledge Check. Here goes:   During the Knowledge Check / Assessment portion of the presentation,  if the user enters the incorrect answer, the program will send the user back to the portion of the CBT where the correct information exists for the user to review (which is fine).  However, after that information has been reviewed, the program will not allow the user to move forward directly back to the Knowledge Check to pick up where they left off. The user is then forced to work through the remaining CBT again starting from whatever point that they were sent back to when they answered incorrectly.  I understand the intended purpose for sending the user back to review the correct information, but once that information is reviewed can the user be directed to the knowledge check / assessment to continue with the exam? Thanks for any help and/or resources

Using Captivate 2019 for Windows, recorded a software simulation demoA portion of my software simulation is misaligned - the highlight box and mouse click actions in the demo appear to be in the correct position on the screen, but move up and appear in a different portion of the screen on preview and after it's published.  It only happened with about 7 slides in the middle of the 100 slide demo. I'm not sure how to fix this without re-recording that portion of the simulation demo.This is the first time this has ever happened, and I have recorded hundreds of software simulations.I've searched for this issue within the community, but only found something similar posted a couple years ago stating there was no fix. Hoping someone has learned something new to share. 

I am running Captivate 2019, v.11.5.5.553. Updater says this is the most recent version. I have cleared Captivate cache, rebooted, run as administrator, with no internet. Regardless, when I open two project files, it opens to about 82% and then Captivate shuts down completely. I am not getting any error messages, it just shuts down. Any suggestions? 

Is there a way to view what each student selects for each answer when you upload a SCORM quiz to Canvas? Currently, I only see the grade percentage, and when I select speed grader (in canvas) it says "no preview available." I would like to be able to record what each student selected for each question to see who got what right/if one question gave people a lot of trouble, etc. Is this possible?

using software sims to guide students step by step/click by click thru an activity. every clickbox needs to do the same thing:on success, it just goes to the next slide. on failure it pops the failure box, until the last attmpt where it shows a prev. hidden highlight box over the click box (effectivly highlighting where they should click) and conts with the activity so they can click the now highlighted clickbox and go to the next slide.i can script this easily via advanced options, but wanted a smarter way to do it (i assume it'll involve variables) where i dont have to re-make essentially the same advanced action script for everyslide. the clickbox and highlight box names change each slide and you cant have dupes, so each adv optns scrpt must be hard coded to each highlight and clickbox manually. there can easily be 20+ slides per sim, and i have a long list of sims i need to make, so any speeding up in the process could save me litteral days and also a lot of headache.advanced optio

i have an adobe all apps subscription and i have a captivate subscription using the same adobe id as confirmed on my adobe account page:     i have two computers, my win 10 64 bit computer and a mac computer with cc on both.   when i start captivate (it's only installed on my win computer), i am prompted to sign out of either my win or mac computer.  if i sign out of my mac and then check the activated devices on my account page, i see:     if i sign out of my win computer i see my puget win 64 and my mac computer in the activated devices panel.   i've never seen this problem before with any cc app, and there's always, at least, one cc app open when i use captivate.   does anyone know how coerce captivate to recognize my Puget-154707 on WINDOWS_64 (activated in 2021) as the same device captivate is detecting?  

I love the overlay feature except for one thing...the default behavior is to pause the video and blur the background. What I would like is for it to keep playing the video.Is there a way of doing that?

Hello all,I have an OAM file that I am trying to import into my Captivate project, I was hoping to insert the animation as a background. However, it appears that once I bring in the animated image, it takes precedent and you cannot add buttons on top or anything like that.  Is there a way to use the animation as a background and be able to add other characters on top of the animation that people can interact with?  Or am I stuck having to have very small animations on screen and add other material around it?  Is there a guide anywhere that describes the what can and cannot be done with OAM animations in Captivate?

Hi,I wanted to reach out to see if anyone else has had experience with an issue like this or similar.A few of our employees have completed a few sections of an eLearning module in our LMS. They exited out of the eLearning with the intention to return later and finish it up. When they re-opened the eLearning, it took them back to the very start so that they had to redo everything (no variables were saved).Hundreds of other employees haven't had this issue and progress seems to have saved.I ran a detailed SCORM report and can see that the employees HAVE answered a number of quiz questions within the eLearning - so they definitely have made progress.It seems as if their quiz progress is being reported back to the LMS - however their place isn't being saved in the eLearning.Does anyone have experience with this kind of issue or something similar? I can't replicate the issue myself.The SCORM was originally a SCORM 1.2. Could this be the cause?Any thoughts would be so appreciated.Here are my

Hello,  I am trying to edit a clients template.  They have a play button that is custom, not the built-in, and when clicked the trigger is " continue". Unfortunately, when clicked, continue ignores all other variables and triggers in the slide and automatically moves to the next slide.  We don't want that.. the user needs to complete the slide interactions before moving on.. please help this is urgent to me, i know you all have lives but i would greatly appreciate feedback. 

I have created a drag and drop activity that contains audio as a snap behavior. The audio file "sound2" was preloaded in the project (I did not add this as an audio file - see attached image). The audio contains a bell sound that rings when the drag object is dropped on the target. The bell sound is very loud and I would like to lower the volume, but I don't know how to do this, since it isn't an actual file. Is there a way to change the volume control on this sound clip?
