Question

Is it possible to use Interactive Edge OAM files within the Responsive Format?

Hello All -

The graphic designer for my project has created some simple interactive Edge OAM files, but when I import them in to Captivate and publish the project, the on-screen clickable buttons that should activate text for a topic are not working. Is there a way to overcome this so a student can click on the buttons and they will "play" (activate the text associated with them)? There is no audio associated with the buttons. Maybe the button needs some sort of specific coding within Edge? Or maybe I need to import the OAM file a different way.  I'd appreciate any assistance you can provide.

An OAM is an animation, there is no easy way for communication between Captivate and the OAM, besides using JS maybe.

Why do you need to create buttons in OAM? Aren't the buttons in Captivate with all their functionality insufficient?

Yes, the first part of the OAM is an animation. The animation ends with interactive buttons displaying on the screen. I'd like those interactive buttons to be functional within Captivate. When the same Edge file is published differently (to work with a custom HTML template) the buttons do indeed work. So, it's just when the Edge file is published as an OAM and placed inside Captivate that the buttons aren't working. Now, I'm not a programmer, but if someone could explain how to fix this (maybe using/altering JS with Captivate), then I could get the graphic designer or a programmer to play with it and see if we could get it to work. I just need a starting point. I had thought we'd tested this before on another project (that we eventually opted for a custom template over Captivate due to some limitations of Captivate) and the buttons in an interaction worked, but then I remembered we were using Captivate's Blank Project format. So, then I got to thinking maybe that's the difference. Unfortunately, I don't have committed programming resources for this project so I have to borrow and thus a starting point would be helpful.

There are a few things that you can check. Is the Web object after you import the HTML5 animation at the top of the timeline stacking order?

Is there an element in the project that is hidden that would cover the animation?

Check your C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 8 x64\AdobeCaptivate.ini

Make sure that the following line is set to 0.
