Question

Right-Click Not Working When Published - Captivate 6

Hello,

I have a simulation that requires a few right-click actions. Under Publish Settings I have unchecked the Enable Accessibility. I publish as a SWF, insert the SWF into Lectora, then publish Lectora as SCORM and run the course through an LMS. I have Captivate 6.

I have read through some other threads on this but I can't quite seem to get it. I've read that it needs to be able to call a JS file to enable the right-click functionality but I don't have a clue where this JS file is or how to get the SWF file to call it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    When you publish to SWF, you get several files besides the SWF: a HTML-file and a SWF-file (perhaps also a CSS). Indeed the right-click functionality will only work when you launch the HTML, that file will call the JS (and eventually the CSS) and launch the SWF. The right-click functionality is in the JS-file, you'll never get it when you launch directly the SWF-file.

    That's unfortunate. But, thank you for the information. At least I can stop struggling to get soemthing to work that just won't! Thanks!

    Unfortunately, right-click functionality in Captivate's SWF output is totally dependent on a JavaScript hack that gets around an issue with Flash content where right click always pulls up a context menu.

    It's not a lost cause if you can figure out how to get Lectora to call the same JS code. Perhaps your Lectora forums may have come across this issue before.
