Are gestures only available in responsive design?

I have a Captivate module that I just want to use on the iPhone or Android.  Can I just develop it as a normal project and have the capability of gestures?  I am using Captivate 8 and now testing 9.

    Hi Sara,

    Out of supported gestures in Captivate only Pinch and zoom will not work on scalable Blank projects. Since they contradict scaling. gestures like swipe to navigate, long tap to play/pause do work on scalable projects.

    Hi BronwenHeuer ,

    Gestures should work for both Normal and Responsive Projects in both Captivate 8 and Captivate 9. And gesture navigation on Question slides are restricted if skip and or back buttons are disabled.

    With captivate 9 as Rod said you can disable gesture navigation on a particular slide. Please try and let us know if gesture do not work.

    Thanks

    Thank you Devraj.

    I am unable to get gestures to work in a normal (non-responsive) HTML5 scalable Captivate 9 project.

    I have confirmed:

    - Individual slides "Allow Gesture Naviation" is checked

    - When publishing "Mobile Gestures" says "Yes"

    I would be happy to share the project with you.

    Kind Regards,

    Sara Carpenter

    Gesture navigation works in Captivate 8 (click Window > Mobile Palette and check the box next to Gesture Configuration), but it appears to be broken in Captivate 9, even though there's a new box that says "Allow Gesture Navigation." Doesn't work.

    I'm talking about non-responsive projects, of course.

    No, you need to create a responsive project in order to have gestures.

    Are you sure about that Lieve?

    In both Captivate 8 and 9 you can open the Mobile Palette from the Windows menu on normal projects, not just Responsive projects.  The option for Gesture Configuration is on by default.

    Captivate 9 now has an extra checkbox on the Properties tab in both normal and responsive projects to Allow Gesture Navigation.

    I haven't personally used gesture navigation so far on any projects, but this would seem to indicate they can be used on both normal and responsive.

    Do you find they don't work on any project other than Responsive?

    Maybe it changed but could not have it working with normal projects, should

    have to check again.
