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 […]

HTML5 Output not workin

Hello. I am working on a tutorial in Captivate 2017 with audio narration. All displays fine in Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer except for the following problem: when you try to use the rewind or fast forward buttons, the audio is disabled and there is no way to re-enable it unless you reload the presentation. Is there a fix for this? In lieu of that, is there some way to simply remove the fast forward and rewind buttons from the […]

JavaScript Motion Effect Problem

OK…I’m on a roll this week with JavaScript questions. I’m attempting to use JavaScript to move an object off the side of the page and then back on when you select a button. Here’s the code I used: var obj = document.getElementById( ‘re-txtField_2c’ ); var posX = parseInt( obj.style.left ); obj.style.transition = “.4s”; obj.style.left = (posX + 910) + ‘px’; I had code to bring the button back as well, but it doesn’t seem like I need it.  Through troubleshooting […]

Add Animate CC to Your Captivate Project

When you publish an Animate CC file, you’re creating a HTML5/JavaScript file. Captivate when published to a web format uses HTML5/JavaScript. So it makes sense that you can not only combine these projects, but you can also get the two projects to talk to each other using JavaScript. This blog shows you a few steps on how you can combine these two platforms.

Customs Effects Cancelling One Another Out

Here’s another question related to a project I previously asked a question about. I’m trying to make an object slide off the page to the right, change it’s state, and then slide back on to the page from the right.  The problem is that one effect seems to be cancelling out the other.  Here is the preview of the action: Note that LefttoRight and RighttoLeft are both “custom” actions because I needed them to move specific distances.  I loaded the […]
