Re: Execute an advance action while button down

0
0

Buttons, shape buttons, click boxes and Text Entry boxes have only two events, both happening when the user has clicked them (or pressed the Submit button for the TEB). What you describe is not an event. A full description of all events in Captivate can be found in:

Events and (advanced) Actions - Captivate blog

 

Rollover slidelet has two events as well, but is not supported for HTML5 output.

 

If your goal is HTML5 output, the CpExtra widget by InfoSemantics (not included with Captivate) allows to create more events. Same can be done with the Eventhandler widget by InfoSemantics for SWF output. Of course, JS is the alternative to have more events.

THe created PDF will be an interactive PDF, which means that you need to install the Flash Player plugin for Adobe Reader. It is no longer installed by default since a couple of versions.

Text Entry Box Values

0

I am trying to create a training software simulation in which users will need to fill in online forms with names and emails, obviously this will change based on the user.

 

How do I manipulate the text entry box so that any value the users types is acceptable?  For instance, If I type Brian I can move on and if someone else types Jill it is still accepted by captivate.

Re: Text Entry Box Values

A Text Entry Box can be used with and without validation. In your case it should be without validation. Since you probably do not want that they submit an empty field, you can create an advanced action that checks that, and shows a message when the entry is empty. The way to do that is described in this old article  (you need a Flash enabled browser to watch the movie):

Where is Null? - Captivate blog

 

The logic is still the same, but I don't know which version you are using? The dialog box for Advanced actions changed in CP2017, screenshots will look different.

 

Another possibility is to replace the Text Entry Boxes by Scrolling Text interactions. I used that approach in this example:

Custom Short Answer Question - Captivate blog

 

All fields that are filled in (you need a Flash enabled browser to watch the movie) are using that interaction.

Tried it out, have the same problem: Carrie is not showing up in any category - expected her in Medecine. I have no idea why.

Re: Multiple Choice Ouestions- using points as penalty

Just to add to this very useful discussion, to assign points to an individual answer you need to:

  1. Select the answer
  2. Click on the Properties tab
  3. Select Options
  4. Assign a positive value to a correct answer and negative to an incorrect one.

This is not covered in the Adobe documentation and I have spent most of the day trying to get my head around/refresh my rusty knowledge of MCQs using either penalties or partial scoring (negative marking).CP_2017_partialscore_2017-09-22_1802.png

Thanks for the feedback. Can I suggest that you ask your question in a new question instead of putting inline with this thread? That will help keep the forums more organized.

As far as your question above, I have no idea what you are asking. Try explaining what you want to do without using terms like 'external API' and so on.

Captivate 2017 "Get Free eLearning Assets" Uses Outdated Browser?

0
0

I've got the latest version of Captivate 2017 (10.0.0.192).

 

My company is using Zscaler to protect from internet threats, and it's now blocking the "Get Free eLearning Assets" window within Captivate. It's identifying the browser (which normally opens the eLearning Brothers site) as using an outdated version of Google Chrome (47.x).

 

Is Captivate actually using Chrome for this window, or is this being misread by Zscaler? If it's using Chrome, it needs to be updated.

Custom CC button

0
0

I created all of the ;navigation buttons custom so I can change them as needed per slide. I am not using a playbar.

 

I created the CC button both by using toggle and incrementing and decrementing the cmdcc  system variable.

Both work on each slide but the command does not carry through from one slide to the next. So it does not work on the overall project. The user has to turn it on every slide.

 

I did this with Mute/Unmute as well and it works fine. If I click mute on one slide it stays on mute until the user clicks the mute button again.

 

But with CC if you click CC on the slide it turns the CC on but then it is off again on the next slide.

 

The CC custom button works correctly if I have the playbar turned on with closed captioning. But I don't want the playbar turned on.

 

I am using Captivate 2017 with responsive design. Is this a known bug?

 

Is there a way to fix or workaround?

 

If it is a bug, does anyone know approx. when a fix may be available?

 

Thanks!

Yes, it is a known bug, logged months ago but still not fixed by a public patch.

 

There is a hotfix, you could try to contact Adobe to have that hotifx. I'm just a user. It is not up to me to give that hotfix.

Can't Access Assets (2017)

0
0

I'm using Captivate for the first time. I downloaded the program, as well as the separate assets file, and installed it to the default location.

 

I restarted the computer after doing this. When I click on the themes option inside of Captivate, I am taken to this folder: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Layouts\10_0\en_US

 

In that folder, there is a bpthemes folder, which is empty, and a file titled "white", which I'm guessing is the default theme.

 

If I browse through my files (outside of Captivate), I can find the ThemeColors folder that has a few different XML documents. I'm not sure if these are the themes, but if I navigate to this folder from captivate, they don't show up as a .cptm file, and there doesn't seem to be a way to open or even see other file types.

Themes are under the Big Button Themes, you only need to use Browse if you have a custom theme stored somewhere that doesn't show up with the thumbnails under the Themes button. Themes color palettes can be used by themes, the default themes are associated with such a color palette, but you can change them. Be careful when customizing a theme. All themes are responsive, but if yuo edit a theme in a normal, non-responsive project, you could screw the responsiveness of the theme and not be able to use it anymore as a responsive theme. There is some protection: you will not be able to save a responsive theme under the same name in a normal project.

 

Maybe some articles I wrote could offer you more details:

I contacted support. I had to change the name of a folder and that fixed the problem. Thank you.

Drag touch interaction from .oam file not working on iPhone/mobile device

0
0

Hello, I'm working on a responsive project in Captivate cc 2017 and I'm including some .oam interactive animation that I've built as HTML5 Canvas projects in Adobe Animate. The .oam files are coded using javascript and include interactions such as dragging objects and pressing objects. Everything works fine in the published Captivate project except for the dragging portions of the .oam files, the parts that are coded as "mousedown' or "pressmove" mouse events won't work with touch on mobile devices.

 

Does anyone have any experience with getting something like this to work? I've chosen to create my interactions separately in Animate, because it seemed a lot easier to just code (though I don't really know how to code, the Adobe Animate forums have been very helpful) them out instead of having to try and deal with the advanced actions / conditional actions in Captivate.

 

I'm not sure if this is something I need to adjust on the Animate end or the Captivate end.

 

Any help/advice is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Does the functionality work when you try out the OAM separately? Do you use JS to communicate with Captivate?

 

For D&D I largely prefer to use the built-in functionality of Captivate.

Re: Drag touch interaction from .oam file not working on iPhone/mobile device

It does work fine when tested separately and even within the published captivate project it works fine on the desktop.

 

I would like to use the built-in drag and drop function, but this interaction requires sliding an object within an invisible bounding box, and using the sliding object to control an image being displayed within a separate movieclip. The interaction was originally built in Flash (with Actionscript 2.0) and so it seemed easier to update within Animate using JS. I'm not savvy enough with Captivate to create something this complex within it, though I'm sure it's very capable of achieving it.

 

I don't use any JS to communicate with Captivate, the only JS I used was within Animate when I was building the OAM file.

Yes it uses a sawn-off version of the Chrome browser to view the assets.

 

You'll either need to get your Zscaler app to allow it or else log a bug with Adobe and wait for them to fix it.
