Locking/Unlocking Table of Contents Navigation in CP8

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 16:42:28 GMT

Hi all,

My client wants to have the Table of Contents lock/unlock for slides that were visited by the learner. So they shouldn't be able to skip ahead using the TOC, but they can click on any previous slide they've already visited and be able to jump to it. I know that with CP8, there is a new System Variable that makes this easier to accomplish than before, but how are you setting it up? On slide exit? And how are you writing up the action?

Thanks,

Kristen

Difference between a Success Action and an Advanced Action

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:55:32 GMT

I've isolated an instance in which using an On Success to Assign a variable in response to clicking a click zone produces a different (and unusable) effect than if the On Success triggers a dedicated Advanced Action whose sole code is to make the exact same Assignment. I'd like to understand why I cannot rely on the Assign action and if possible get a fix or workaround. Here's my situation.

On a slide I have two click zones: one for the correct area to click and the other encompassing the entire screen to trap for wrong clicks. I want to keep track of the fact that the user made a wrong click and so I want to assign a -1 value to a variable so that I can know whether to assign points to the user or not when they finally do click the right area. In other words, I do NOT want to move on to the next slide until they have clicked the correct area. Yet when I set a On Success to Assign, Captivate moves on to the next slide. Contrast this to what happens if the same click zone has an On Success of Advanced Action that has one line which is that same Assign to a variable of -1. In this case, the assignment also happens properly, but Captivate stays on the slide the way I want. What's going on here and what can I do about it? The way things are now, I have had to make nearly 100 individual Advanced Actions that do nothing but make a variable assignment, something that would be much easier if I could just use the Assign action.

I'm using Captivate 7.0.1 for Windows and can't upgrade to 8 for the foreseeable future.

Help on Final Step for Drag and Drop Exercise

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:37:35 GMT

Does anyone know the best way to create a test item where the learner has to place a check mark in the correct cells and hit submit to succeed.
I was using a drag and drop but I am lost on step three.

I am using the check marks as drag sources, square shapes located in all cells will the correct cell/box assigned as the correct drop target.

The issue is when I get to step three, how do I allow the user to drag ANY checkmark (drag target) to the correct cell/box (drop target). When I get to step 3, I have to assign each individual checkmark to ONE specific cell/box and I want the learner to be able to drag any checkmark, as long as it is dropped in a designated drop target.

If there is another way I should approach this test item instead of drag and drop, I am open to any suggestions.

Here is an example:

Captivate 8 (C8) not transferring correct slide resolution from PowerPoint (PPT)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 14:37:38 GMT

I am tasked with transferring quite a number of PPT presentations into C8. I have come across a few 'bugs' and am trying to solve them, one by one.

Today's issue: slides from PPT are not transfering into C8 with the correct screen resolution. The first thing I noticed about my slide transfer was that the titles in my PPT slides are not in the same position when transfered over into C8, and the font is pixilated. Even when I go into PPT and make changes, save those changes and then update the file in C8, I still have a problem with the titles not being in the correct spot. I know they are off because the titles appear within a band of silver, with a thick, brown bar above them in PPT. In C8, the titles are squished into the brown bar with too much space left over in the silver band -

The title and bands in PPT:

The title and bands in C8:

This is using the default 10" x 7.5" aspect ratio in PPT, and the pixel equivalent in C8 of 720x540. The font is BANK GOTHIC.

(BTW: I found a chart here - I Came, I Saw, I Learned...: PowerPoint: Changing Slide Sizes for Importing into Captivate which is not correct. For instance, this chart suggests a slide resolution of 10.5" x 7" would transfer over into C8 as1008 px x 672px. This size is incorrect; it still produces incorrect slide resolution. And there is no way to use this chart for custom slide sizes).

When I changed the font (to CENTURY GOTHIC), I did get a better result in the position of my title:

PPT new font:

C8 new font:

However, I am still experiencing the pixilation of the font. I closed this project out of C8 without saving and then re-transfered the files. This time, I went with the C8 default resolution of 960x720 - this translates in Powerpoint to 13.333" x 10". NOT the same slide setting I have in PPT, which is 10" x 7.5" however, this looks much better, with less pixilation of the font within the work area. When I publish it out, the pixilation goes away and the font is smooth again.

My conclusion: some fonts do not transfer well into C8, and screen resolutions differ from PPT, Photoshop and C8. If you are having difficulties getting your PPT slides to look the same in C8, it could be your font is not transfering well, or it could be your screen resolution.

Extraneous click boxes on slides imported from PowerPoint--even after importing with "Automatically" checked

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 14:32:25 GMT

I imported a PowerPoint 2010 file into Captivate 8. When importing, I selected "Automatically" for advancing. When the slides are imported, you can click the left and right side of the screen and advance the slides. This is immediate right after importing...I haven't done any editing to the slides yet. In looking at the Timeline...there are no click box objects on these slides at all. How do I remove these extra clicks?

Captivate 8 Speech Management Guide

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 13:15:13 GMT

Hello,

I am very new to Captivate and using is 1st time.

I have just completed my first presentation of 15 minutes on captivate 8 and it took me around 1 month

Got many queries in between, solved many myself, but still have few.

Please guide me if possible.

SPEECH MANAGEMENT

===================

I tried to Record my voice and stuck with many problems. First was a good microphone. Atlast I purchased Sennheiser Headset with Mic.

Recording ok, but still many problems like background sounds toooo much in my locality. used cleaner but still not comfortable. Then my personal problem since my voice is not that much clear.

I found speech management Text-To-Speech and downloaded neospeech for captivate 8. Installed and completed my first project.

I am using Paul and James voice. Also I have downloaded Ivona's Raveena (Indian Voice), Amy (British Voice) and Sally (American Voice).

Combination is wonderful. But i get problem.

Paul and James speak very fast whereas Amy speak very slow.

I wanted to change the settings but don't know how to change. I opened Windows Text-to-speech settings and found Ivona voices there but Neospeech voices is not there. I think they are made only for captivate.

I searched installation directory of Neo Speech and opened their VTeditor_Eng [ C:\Program Files\Adobe Captivate Voices 8\VT\James\M16\bin ]. Found settings there which include change of pitch, volume, speed, etc. but these changes doesn't effect in captivate.

Last thing, anyone has any idea about good TTS Indian Voice. Since I live in India, am looking for Indian Pronounciation.

Any help / suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

This only happens in the HTML5 version. seems to work fine with flash.

Text Entry Box--Advanced Actions--Conditional Statement--Double quotes in literal input value

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 18:55:19 GMT

Hello forums,

I'm new to the forums (and Captivate in general), but I'm having a real problem carrying out a tutorial design and I think you may be my only hope. Let me explain what I want to do and the difficulty that I'm having:

I'm an instruction librarian at a university, and I'm designing an interactive tutorial for English 100 students to complete in order to become familiar with how to search the library catalog. What I've done is taken a screenshot of the catalog search page, made it the background of a slide in Captivate (vers. 6), and placed a text entry box over the search bar in the screenshot. The idea is for the students to conduct a simulated search by choosing one of three suggested search string formulations, and depending on the search string they enter, the tutorial will jump to a slide featuring a screenshot of what the actual search results would look like. The idea is to emphasize the use of keywords over full-sentence phrases, and the use of double quotation marks to enclose multi-word search terms.

So I've set the action for the TEB to "Execute Advanced Actions" and then created some IF/THEN statements in the "Advanced Actions" pop-up window (with action type set to 'conditional'). The script is such that if the student enters the first search option (how does sleep affect college students) in the TEB, the tutorial jumps to 1 slide, if they enter the second option (college students AND sleep), featuring a Boolean operator (AND), the tutorial jumps to a 2nd slide, and if they enter the third option ("college students" AND sleep) with the double quotes around "college students" and the Boolean operator, the tutorial should jump to a 3rd slide. This action script works fine for the first two input options, but I can't make it work for the third search option.

I think that it has something to do with the fact that the third input option features double quote marks, and this seems to throw off the script (I tried a quote-less input value for the third IF/THEN just to make sure that it would work jumping to the 3rd slide and it did), and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get around this issue. Again, I need it to work so that if the student enters "college students" AND sleep, with the quote marks and the Boolean operator, the tutorial will jump to a slide showing the search results if those search terms were used in a real search of the catalog.

I'd be extremely grateful for any help that anyone here can give me, we've been trying to make our online tutorials more engaging and interactive (and therefore more interesting), and I think this would be a great way to teach students about using quotes in their catalog searches.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Responsive Project -- Font and other issues

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 17:57:08 GMT

I'm brand new to Captivate, and am frustrated at the bugs I'm finding when trying to use it. I'm developing an online course that focuses on existing audio files, and adding multimedia and quizzes to it. I'm on the first module, using it to design the format, etc. and am finding the software very buggy. For example:

- Fonts: I'm using Verdana on a Responsive Project, and am using a lot of callouts, with certain lines in the callout bolded and underlined (e.g. "Learning Objectives") while the rest of the callout text is Normal. It looks fine when I play it in Captivate, but when I preview it in Chrome (I'm on Mac 10.9), the bold goes away, the font size is smaller, and may not even be Verdana.

- Editing: Duplicating an object sometimes keeps the original object linked somehow to the duplicated one, so when I move the duplicated one, it also moves the original object, even though only the duplicated one is not selected. My work around is to X all the assets except for the duplicated one, but that's a pain... why doesn't this work properly?

- "Play to end of slide" - if this is selected for an object, when I move it further along the timeline, it doesn't shorten the duration to the existing end of slide, it makes the slide duration longer... not what I want to have happen, obviously.

QUESTIONS:

1) Are these bugs specific to Responsive Projects, or do all Capivate projects have these issues?

2) Is there an easy way to change a project from a Responsive Project to a regular one? I've got about 50+ of these modules to design, and I want to make sure I get it right the first time.

3) Should I be investing in another platform like Articulate instead? This project is big enough that any extra money will be well spent if that works a lot better.

Captivate 7 and Audio Issues

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 16:50:40 GMT

Hi, I have been having with audio files in Captivate 7 when changing audio files for a specific slide. If I use the F6 functionality, sometimes the new audio file will be attached, sometimes it won't, and sometimes I will hear both audio files.

If I go into the library and remove all the audio files without first removing from the individual slides, sometimes the audio file will play on the slide when published. I cannot remove the audio file because I can see it in the library or on the film strip.

If I first remove the audio files from the slide, then remove the audio file from the library the file is definitely removed from the project.

Is this a bug in Captivate 7? Is there another way to ensure that the audio files have been updated without jumping through hoops. I've had a few projects I've had to recreate because of the audio issues.

thanks,

Captivate 7 - HTML5 - Project to External MP4 - Back to Project at Quiz slide

I've read in other posts that you should put a short delay on the slide audio in order to speed loading. My understanding is that if you don't do this, Captivate will download all of your audio before it starts, which can slow the loading process.

AICC HACP

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 17:15:11 GMT

Does Captivate publish to AICC HACP? I know it can publish to AICC, but wondering about its ability to publish content as AICC HACP and support cross domain communication between the LMS and externally hosted course content.

So, I know there are two types of AICC courses:

AICC JavaScript API (JSAPI) - these courses behave similarly to SCORM courses and need to be hosted on our FTP space, as the JavaScript parts of the course don't work across two different domains.

AICC HTTP-based AICC/CMI Protocol (HACP) - these courses don't use JavaScript to transmit tracking data, so there is no inherent cross-domain limitation. Therefore these courses can be hosted remotely.

As far as I know, Captivate only does AICC JSAPI. This means they wouldn't be able to be hosted remotely out of the box. However, I don't know if this is the case for sure. There may be some functionality that I'm not aware of, or they may have added new functionality after version 5, which is the last I tested.

Either preview it on a web browser or an html5 browser doesn't make any difference, I'm having the same error message. What could have gone wrong?

Advanced Actions and Variables | ¿Como puedo hacer un botón que muestre y oculte un texto?

Saludos quiero hacer un botón que oculte y muestre un texto, he estado buscando y no encuentro por favor un poco de ayuda, he visto este link:"Creating Custom Mute/Unmute Audio Button using Advanced Actions and Variables « Rapid eLearning | Adobe Captivate Blog"

La idea es la misma, pero en vez de hacer mute, que oculte y muestro un determinado objeto.

Gracias.

SWF not playing in Captivate 8

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:30:20 GMT

I'm developing a course in Cp 8 that uses several SWF animations developed using an older version of Flash Pro (not sure which one, but version 4 or earlier) with ActionScript 2. Some of them work without issues, but some either won't load at all, or take a long time to load.

I imported all SWFs as animations. I was wondering if there are some compatibility issues with Cp 8?

Thank you.

In Captivate 8 I have inserted two video files both mp4 format. It is a responsive format and the videos will not load on iPad. What am I doing wrong????
