Inserting an Animated Text Box From Scratch - How?

[Guest]

Hi, all. I have a screen capture which I've imported into Captivate as an image. I'd like to have animated text fill in some of the fields as if a user was entering information but I can't find this function. I see lots of interesting text animations, but none that simulate simple typing. I also see a "Text Entry" button, but it seems to only offer options for creating an interactive text field where the person viewing the captivate movie is prompted to enter text. The end effect I'm looking for will appear as if I actually did a live capture while I filled in fields on a web page.

Is this possible? If so, can someone advise me as to where I could find the right tool to do this? My employer is unable to provide me with a manual for this program and I don't see the question addressed in the "Help" function. Thanks in advance for any help offered!

Hi Lukrazzi

Take a look at the Captivate Exchange. Once you get to the Captivate area, fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst has uploaded a "Typing Text" animation you may download.

Thanks, Rick. Since you're directing me to a plug-in, should I assume that this function doesn't exist natively in Captivate? I work for a State agency and they aren't cool with third party executables.
