NotificationIn this post, I provide an example of how you can change the state of an object based on the changing values of two different variables. The solution I offer you is to concatenate the variables into a single string that matches the name of your states. I referenced this in my post on using state changes as navigation and have used this in many projects and so I thought it was time to write up something a little more […]
Overview I recently worked on a project where ‘balance’ was an underlying theme to the learning. Without going into too much detail about the content, the learner needed to place several ‘statements’ into categories and through this process of categorizing would in turn understand the concept of balance. Cue the obvious metaphor: the scale. You can see the modified final product in the .cptx file I attached. Please feel free to modify or use it if you would like in your own […]
Intro In the webinar which I presented on 2018/3/15 about Shared Actions, I showed several workflows with shared actions. If you want to have a look at the presentation used during the webinar, check out my previous blog post. You’ll find a link to the published interactive movie One of those examples, was a Drag&Drop slide where both advanced and shared actions were used as Object Actions. It can help you with the tough task to choose between the two types of […]

I’ve seen several posts related to the SWF output and the lack of browser support or simply having issues playing them. I also have a number of projects that were published as SWF from old versions of Captivate. In many cases, all I have any longer is the final SWF. I sometimes like to show them as examples to others. I utilize a small little SWF player that has, for me, worked very well – and the price is right […]
We have probably all seen, at one time or another, one of those little popup windows the very first time that you launch an app that gives you a little bit of information about how to get started. I thought I would play around with this concept a little bit to create something similar with Captivate. Here is the link to the working demo. It features my 9-year old dog, Shelby. https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/captivateshare/introTips/index.html Before I dive into how I made this, […]

There have been some questions in the comments of my videos that suggest that some people may not understand Typekit fonts in Adobe Captivate. This article will try to explain it. There are three different types of fonts on a Windows or Mac computer running Adobe Captivate 2017. These are system fonts, web-safe fonts, and potentially Typekit fonts. The importance of font selection only really applies to responsive designed elearning projects, since non-responsive projects convert your text into pictures, and […]
