Re: Can an Advanced Action Launch another Advanced Action (or more than one)?
Of course Rick, but that is not really calling another action from an action, since you need to use another event. As Rod points out, preparing carefully advanced actions by choosing the right events,...

One more question if I may be so bold... I have figured out how to do this in Power Point and it requires A LOT of linking (click tab 4 - go to screen 6; click tab 5 - go to screen 7; etc). If I drop...
View ArticleRe: Need help developing a screen
I'm afraid that the links will not work. Why do you create that in Powerpoint instead of linking in Captivate? Each PPT-slide when imported will be converted to a movie-slide. Very little that you'll...

Re: HTML files not playing from Dropbox
Hi there From what you are describing it would seem that not ALL the files are present. I'd double-check to ensure you copied ALL the files there. Particularly the file named standard.js. If it is...
View ArticleRe: HTML files not playing from Dropbox
That's what I thought too, but all files are there. I used to have numerous files (6-8) in a dropbox folder with all parts: cptx, htm, swf, js and the html would play fine by just clicking on the...

Hello all, I use Captivate 5, and for the time being I'm happy with it and don't wish to upgrade yet. Since my initial purchase was a download, what is the best way to move it to a new computer? When...

Only because I' intiidated by having to learn another program so quickly and I'm so used to PP. Iwill look more closely at Captivate. I believe I can use "buttons" and "links" to create the tab look...
View ArticleRe: Captivate 6 does not launch - flashes briefly then disappears
I am having the identical problem...run as administrator, loads very briefly, then disappears. Maddening to subscribe to a product like this and not be able to use it!

Understand, but it would have been better if you asked about the import before, because now you have created something in PPT that will not work in Captivate. I do not have a use case like this on my...

Hello, I think it is confusing Adobe will ask if I want to save the file even if I don't make any changes... Maybe this is something they can change in the next version? Ryan

Are you sure? Because for me a checkmark is only added to the TOC when the slide is totally viewed, not when it is entered! If you add custom navigation (shape) buttons, you can always make them appear...

Definitely. I am using the trial version though, not the latest one for subscribers. If you select a topic in the ToC and let it play the check mark only appears once the media completes. However if...
View ArticleRe: Some questions about features of captivate
Hello and welcome, Since Captivate is all about bitmap, it is never a good idea to upscale. Although that functionality is available, the quality of the resulting project can be disappointing. The...
