- Creating a Rollover Audio Screen in Adobe Captivate 5



In the last few week’s we learned how to create a Tabbed Screen and a Click-reveal Text Screen with Adobe Captivate 5. We also learned how to embed a Captivate simulation in a PowerPoint presentation.
Now it’s time to play with some audio… So let’s see how to create a rollover audio screen.
Take a look at the screen:
Hmmm… Eager to create such a screen? Go ahead and follow these simple steps:
Let me know if you found this post useful or facing any difficulty in following these steps by leaving a comment on this post. I would also like to know if there’s some specific type of screen/interaction example you are looking for.
Happy Captivating! 🙂

Hi there! I am working on an e-learning application where users need to click on words to hear their pronunciaitons. Ideally, I would like users to be able to click on a word and play its corresponding audio file as well as show an image. I have managed to do this by using the technique above mentioned (rollover audio screen) and the image rollover object. My question is: How can I make things simpler by using only one rollover action?
I have audio attached to a slide and I want to add rollover slides within this slide and have audio attached to each of those rolloverslides as well. When I do this the audio on the rollover slide starts when the rollover starts in the timining. I want the audio to start when the mouse rolls over the roll over slide not start automatically. What am I missing? Can you tell me how to do this?
Thanks for the suggestion Chuck… I’ve added playbar to the demo.
Darlene, make sure you have the rollover text caption selected when you add the audio. From what you describe it sounds like you’ve attached the audio to the slide itself (read had the slide selected).
Allen, I assure you that the sound is on the rollover and not on the slide. When I select the slide, the Audio property has an “Add Audio” button. I tried this a few months ago in Captivate 4 with a Rollover Slidelet when I wanted the sound to play when the user rolled over and saw the slidelet. The same thing happened…sound played as soon as the slide was displayed. I feel like it might be a timing thing but I do not know how to fix it. In my current presentation I created 5 navigation buttons and I want the button text to be read on roll over. Instead all 5 are being read at once. It is very strange.
Hi Dan, can you share your Captivate project with me to check the issue… I’ll mail you the contact details.
