Hello to all. I´m plain new to Adobe Captivate. I´m using the Captivate 4 trial (testing the program) to develop some interactive software trainings (well, entire lessons) to the schooll where I work.
Now, the people of the school want to know if (in Captivate), we could use a customizable "playback panel'.
They want a box with buttons like "next", "previous", "exit", "volume control", a progress area with the actual slide and the total slides, and an area to us to insert the text of the slide. They wanted this 'box" to stay in the right corner of the monitor, to leave more "open space" in the screen to the content, and to the student.
Well, I think that this could be made in Flash, but my Flash knowledge is a blank 0.
So, if anyone could help me to discover (and further, develop this), it will be very apreciated.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the english errors (english is not my native language).
Hi again
Optimally, yes. You need someone that knows how to program in Flash to create custom playback controls.
You can fudge things a bit by not using a Captivate supplied playback control and simply using images with Click Boxes on them to carry out actions. But to get it right you really need someone that not only understands Flash pretty well, but also understands Captivate too.
Cheers... Rick

Thanks for the good link, Rick. Well, this is the image that I was talking about:
So, to do something like this corner 'control panel', I will really need some good Flash programmer?

Thanks for the good hand, Rick.
I will try to get some help with a friend to develop this, and to put this to work.
After the component´s done, I will try to put it to 'work' within the Captivate... specially the part with the "counting' of the slides...
Again, thank you. Your help is very appreciated!
