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, I am having the same issue as Faith (post from 4 months ago), where all the audio starts to play at the beginning of the slide. There is audio on the slide and also on the rollover image box. Help?

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?

Hi Julio,

You can use a rollover slidelet instead, which will allow you to add multiple objects inside the slidelet. Let me know if this helps.
