Show total time left in player

Report · Oct 19, 2015

Hi,

Is there a way to show the total time for the project inside the player or the progress bar?

This is avaiable if you use the TOC but not in the player.

Would it be possible, for example, to insert the same variable that is used in the TOC into the player using the source FLA?

Thanks!

You do not have access to the variables used in the TOC, and I even believe that the remaining time is calculated from the total time and the elapsed time. You only have access to the available system variables, you can find a complete list in this blog post: System variables in Captivate 8/9 - Captivate blog

Once I wrote an article about showing time (in a custom text container), maybe it could help: Display Time information - Captivate blog

It should be very easy to add an expression to calculate the remaining time, and I suppose you mean the developer's time, not the real time spent in the course.
