What are eLearning Devs and IDs reading?

Greetings all. I am always looking for resources and things to learn from.  I have read some articles recommending books and unfortunately some that seem really interesting I haven’t been able to find, but I will continue to look. Thought I would pose the question here. What are some good resources that you recommend? They don’t have to specifically be direct to eLearning or Instructional Design, but they obviously can. But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

JavaScript Book Recommendation

Hi, Can someone recommend JavaScript, HTML and CSS books for beginners that would be a best fit for Adobe Captivate? I keep researching but do not find anything in particular.

Multiple Failure messages for Drag&Drop KC slide

Intro This article is written as an answer to a question on the forums: Drag&Drop with Advanced Action For quiz slides it is possible to show different Failure messages based on the attempt number. That functionality is not available for Drag&Drop slides.

PowerPoint Power User totally lost as a new Captivate user

So here’s my problem.  I am an engineer getting ready to retire in 5 months.  My manager asked me to put together some nice e-learning programs for new engineers to capture my 40 year career learnings.  I looked at all the packages out there and originally tried to get presenter working but IT wouldn’t initially give me admin rights.  So after a lot of frustration with that I heard about Captivate.  Many great features, but I probably will not become […]

VR – White screen

Hello, I am trying to create a VR project. I can see the photos in the filmstrip but my master slide is white. Any suggestions? John Huggett

Relationship of breakpoints is finite?

Hey there, I set up a Breakpoint Responsive eLearning Project and the parent (desktop) to child (tablet) to grandchild (mobile) relationship works totally fine UNTIL I change something on one of the “offspring” portraits. After that moment, whenever I change something on the desktop breakpoint e.g. add a new button, it doesn’t automatically appear on the tablet and mobile portraits anymore. I have to copy paste it manually. Depending on the changes this is a lot of work. Is there […]

No system sound on screen capture

I have an old training piece that runs as an EXE using Flash Player 7. It contains animations and voice-over. I want to capture it into Captivate. I created an Interactive Video project to capture it but it only captures video, no sound. Any ideas on why I can’t capture the sound?

Overlay Slides 1: An Example

Overlay slides are a new feature in Adobe Captive 2019. They allow you to place interactivity at preallocated points throughout a video using only a single slide, and no Advanced Actions.

I wanted to investigate overlay slides, so I created “Are You Ready to Learn?” It consists of just twelve slides and runs for approximately three minutes. Enjoy!

Swf Compilation failed Note: Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name.

Hi- I just downloaded my free trial and recorded my first software simulation. When I try to preview it, I receive this error message. I uninstalled and reinstalled Captivate, but it didn’t help. Any ideas? I’m anxious to get started but am at a dead stop until I can resolve this. Thanks in advance.

Adobe Connect Meeting Crashes when sharing Presenter 11.1 Content from the Connect Content Library

There is a known issue under scrutiny by both the Adobe Presenter and Connect engineering teams. A Meeting room will crash when a Meeting host or presenter invokes content published to the Adobe Connect Content Library using Presenter 11.1 (build 203). There are at least five possible workaround options that allow one to avoid this issue: 1. Upload the Presenter content directly to the Meeting room or Virtual Classroom from the Presenter authoring client workstation: Instead of pointing the Meeting […]

Looking for help

I have a client I’m doing some work for that wants to use Captivate for one of their learning modules – pop-up, quizzes, integrate video – using a supplied PowerPoint. Need to hire someone to help me since we haven’t used Captivate and the client wants to start the project. Can you point me in the right direction? Harriet Donnelly
