But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

Comenzando con Captivate.

Desde hace diez, más o menos, que trabajo como diseñadora. Uno de mis primeros trabajos pagos y oficiales fue en una empresa de elearning. Cuando empecé trabajábamos con Flash y ya era considerada una herramienta próxima a estar en desuso. Un año más tarde empezamos a trabajar en storyline, donde intentamos de todas las maneras posibles poder realizar cursos que sean producidos rápidamente dentro de todo, pero usando una herramienta un poco dura, un poco rara y bastante difícil de […]

Apache Internal Server Reporting Config Steps

Hello everyone, I work for a project with Captivate and I have a problem with reporting quiz data. I contacted adobe support who gave me links and information to configure our internal Server.

Thanks all for your response,

Volume Level Control ‘add-on’ for Captivate’s native Skin Playbars – Part 2

This is the second of two posts describing an approach to use the ‘Volume Control’ Learning Interaction to add some Volume Level Control functionality to the standard playbars that come with Captivate as part of the skins. Though residing on the stage and thus not physically part of the playbars, the volume level control can be invoked by interacting with the playbar through JavaScript event listeners.
This second part of the blog discusses the JavaScript code used to set up and manage the required event listeners and show/ hide the Volume Control.
It is advised that you have a look at Part 1 first, which describes motivation, scope, setup and limitations of the presented solution, and provides a demo.
