Rollover Captions, Images and Slidelets
I've been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005. In 2015 I started my own eLearning design company. I began creating Adobe Captivate video tutorials to help promote my business through my YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/captivateteacher. My intention with my YouTube videos was to attract attention from organizations looking for a skilled Captivate developer. This strategy proved successful as I've worked with clients worldwide, helping them build highly engaging eLearning solutions. In addition, my YouTube channel presented another benefit of attracting aspiring Captivate developers to seek me out as a teacher. I now offer online and onsite training on Adobe Captivate, teaching users the skills to build engaging and interactive learning.

Paul,

I hope this is a good place for this comment. I’m new to Captivate 2017 and I just captured a software simulation (training). All of the hints are rollovers. Is that the way it is supposed to be? I don’t think this has happened to me before. Can I make is so that the hint stays on the screen all the time and not only when you rollover the click box.

The hint is designed to let users know that their mouse is over the right spot. If you made it last forever it wouldn’t convey the correct information to the user. You can use an incorrect or try again caption to stay up. Select these captions and go to your Timing panel to extend how long it will appear.

Hi Paul,
I’m designing a Blank Project and am following along with your instructions but my three options are still unavailable…do you know what I may be doing wrong?

I just tried these procedures in Adobe Captivate 9.0.2.437 (The most current version at the time I’m writing this). Everything is available from the Objects Drop Down icon when I have a Blank Project as my project type. The only way these items do not appear is if the project type is responsive.
