Hello!

Just wondering if anyone knows how to install the fastclick.js onto captivate 9? Or can point me in the direction of a tutorial? Ive found one for captivate 7 but it seems like the folders are different in captivate 9, so I'm not sure where to put everything! Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

    Put the include statement in the head of the html page:

    <script src='assets/js/fastclick.js'></script>

    Put the fastclick.js in the assets/js/ folder

    Put this implementation in the html page where bolded:

    cpInit();

    initialized = true;

    $(function(){ FastClick.attach(document.body); });

    }

    I haven't run across any disadvantages. It's fairly light weight, 26kb.

    Clicks on mobile devices respond much faster and I don't know why but it also helps with issues where images weren't loading on Android devices.

    It's standard for us and is automatically included in every project whether it is mobile or not.

      A general question: When you are using Captivate 9.0.2.437 (the most recent version) and publish in HTML5 - are there any advantages with fastclick.js? Is it needed in this case or is it already included in Version 9.0.2.437? Or might there even be disadvantages in this case?

      I`m wondering whether I shall install it or not. Thanks in advance for any advice!

      Hi Paul,

      Thanks for your help and recommendations unfortunately my course has no audio or video so it is already pretty tiny, I will do what I can with images but think I'm just going to have to accept that it's just going to be a bit slow on the older iPhone models!

      I think this is the first time you've mentioned on this thread that the issue is on OLDER iPhones.

      If this issue ONLY presents on older iPhone models that you are testing with but doesn't seem to occur on more modern devices with better CPU, RAM and storage specs, then I would think this fairly normal. 

      Mobile devices are improving all the time in terms of resources available to run the kind of HTML5 that Captivate and other elearning authoring apps are producing.  Many earlier devices simply didn't have the necessary resources for good performance.

      Updating Captivate definitely improved the speed, however it is still quite slow at loading pages on iOS (around 2-3 seconds) any ideas why this might be? We aren't having the same problem on Android.

      What's your full version number for Adobe Captivate? e.g. 9.0.2.437. I ask because you may not need it. With the release of 9.0.2.437, published projects will run much better on mobile. If you haven't upgraded yet I recommend that you do. Check out this blog entry by Allen Partridge on the topic.
