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:

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?
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.
