Closed Captioning settings

[ginod45259911]

Is it possible to have the Closed Captioning 'bar' below a slide, or even to the side of a slide? Thus not blocking any information on the slide with CC.

By default Captivate offers no options for positioning the CC area.

If it would block slide content, you should consider moving essential content higher on the slide.

As Rod suggests, you should move your content up.  In our projects, we rescale them, adding about 45 pixels to the bottom of the screen, moving the existing content up.  This creates a "footer" that then contains the closed captioning when it's turned on.

Thanks!

I see that your solution is the only one.

But once you go into full slide software simulations, the e.g. "Windows Taskbar" is overlapped by the CC 'bar', hence my question. It would have been nice if you could move the CC around a little.

Thanks again!

It's pretty easy to move the CC in html5, just a little CSS. For swf you need a widget, we can create one for you if you'd like.

CSS

#cc{

top:505px;

background-color:rgba(15, 50, 66, 0.5);

}

#ccClose{

display:none

}

how to adjust the position of the CC box in flash output.. however i can do the same in html output by adjusting the position in CSS..

currently it disturbs my interface buttons..

[TLCMediaDesign]

Not sure what question you are asking?

For swf you need to create an AS3 widget.

HTML5 is a div element that you can move. Do you mean it is on top of your navigation elements?

I meant to ask how to adjust the position in swf ( flash output) as captivate creates two output flash and html. Iam able to adjust the CC text box in html by adjusting the position in CSS.

I cant do that in swf.. Can we adjust the position in cpplayer.fla file?

Dave DID mention it.  For SWF you would need to create an AS3 widget.  There's really no other way.
