In this tutorial, I show you a solution initially created by Michael Barshinger to disable the progress bar in your Adobe Captivate eLearning projects. This gives your learners the advantage of seeing their progress without allowing them to scrub forward and skipping valuable content.
the javascript is not working for me 🙁
This video is from four years ago. It may not work in the latest version of Captivate.
Paul, can we use this javascript to disable the playbar from allowing the user to go backwards using the slide but disable the forward action of the slider? I have the javascript to disable the playbar from both forward and back slider navigation just wondering how to tweak the javascript to only disable forward slider navigation.
You might want to reach out to Michael Barshinger and see if this is something that he can do. He is the original author. I just made a video about his work.
Why are the only instructions I can find, only in a video. Are there no written instructions?
It’s ironic you say that because this video is based on the written words in an article I found on the web.
But yes, you are right. Adobe Captivate has a small audience when compared to Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, etc. I believe because of this they are relatively underfunded so any type of documentation by Adobe themselves is minimal at best. It’s not uncommon to look at the help pages online and they haven’t been updated since the release of the latest version. This is something that long time users such as myself have complained to Adobe about for years. In fact, the lack of complete documentation is partly why people like myself share our content and I think it’s partly why Adobe created this space as well.
This option needs to go in the feature request category.
