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

slide advancement

I am using the 2017 release.  I have three buttons on my slide that i want the learner to click on and hear the audio.  Only after the learner listens to all three buttons do I want the navigation buttons to appear.  I can’t simply time the icons to appear because the learner might delay in listening to the icons.  The icons need to appear automatically only after each button is listened to.  Any suggestions?

Slide with multi-state object keeps other objects from showing in preview

To capture random clicks I have a further click box which covers the entire screen beneath the ‘correct’ click box. This box is also incrementing click_counter.  I have successfully set up custom result screen which go where they should depending on […]

Free Stuff in Captivate

I’m trying to find a way to quickly download all free characters, applications, and of the like to the captivate system. This process was skipped in the installation of the software. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Closed Captioning question?

When I preview a closed caption project, if I click the little x in the right corner of the cc text everything disappears including the little x.  How do I re open cc since there is no longer a button to do so?

Responsive Project Won’t Run

I have created a responsive learning module that runs fine when previewed, published and run from an internal server and from SCORM Cloud.  However, when we try to run it from our intranet, the spinning circle comes up and continuously spins and the lesson does not initiate to the first screen. I have tried both LMS data capture on and off with the same results. Any ideas? Even my IT guys cannot figure it out.
