NotificationWhen managing Advanced Actions in Adobe Captivate, I recommend that you open the Advanced Actions window from the drop down menu rather than from the Actions tab in the Properties of a slide or object. This way you reduce the risk of accidentally selecting a new Advanced Action in place of what was there from the start. Click on the Project dropdown menu and select Advanced Actions. Alternatively, you can press SHIFT+F9 (which doesn’t always work for me) to open […]
Introduction If you are not hosting your project on an LMS and you want a simple way to save and retrieve user data (such as high scores and names) than local storage is a good way to go. Adobe’s current documentation on Local Storage https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/common-js-interface.html only focuses on storing ‘strings’ such as user names, so this tutorial also shows how to work with integers (numbers) as well. I have included a .cptx file and will be referring to it throughout this tutorial. localStorage A few […]
It’s been a while since I created complex interactions with Captivate. Now that I upgraded to Captivate 2017, I needed to refresh my memory about using Advanced Actions and custom effects. I also wanted to try out the new “While” option that was added to the Advanced Actions tool set. I’m not very good at reading through tutorial pages, so I decided to use an old project as my test case: Take an image that far exceeds the dimensions of […]
Quando temos um projeto e necessitamos aplicar as mesmas cores em Formas, nos perguntamos, como colocar esta cor especifica na paleta de cores. Vou mostrar neste tutorial, como criar e adicionar cores a sua paleta ou trazer de outros softwares como Adobe Illustrator ou Photoshop e atribuir no Adobe Captivate 2017. Primeiro vamos ao menu Janela > Gerenciador de Amostras como mostra a imagem a seguir. Assim que aberto o painel Gerenciamento de Cores, teremos opções para carregar uma paleta […]
In this Adobe Captivate video tutorial, I will share with you an almost hidden feature known as Advanced Answer Option. It’s related to multiple choice single answer quiz questions but the feature isn’t found in the Quiz Properties. Instead, you can find this feature in the Properties Panel for your multiple choice answers themselves. It’s useful if you want to create unique feedback captions for each answer, but you can also assign unique actions to each answer as well. You […]

In this video tutorial, I show you a method to add from over 800 Google web fonts in your Adobe Captivate project. This concept was worked out by Steven Warwick in a previous blog post. I decided that this needed to be a video for all the visual learners like me, so Steven gave me permission to create a video on the topic. If you’re looking for an advanced eLearning developer who can get right to the core coding with JavaScript, Steven’s […]
I originally recorded an #eLearning #Livestream on this same topic but it felt sloppy so I didn’t publish it. Today I decided to record this live stream as a regular video tutorial. In this video tutorial, we review some best practices when converting non-responsive projects into a responsive project. In this video I decide to go with fluid boxes, however, you can also use breakpoints if you prefer that style of design. I’d love to hear what others are experiencing […]
In this Adobe Captivate video tutorial, I show you how you can turn bookmarking on or off for your eLearning course when you have an LMS and when you are simply storing your eLearning in the cloud.
In this Adobe Captivate QuickTip, I will answer the question what happened to Captivate’s ability to publish your CPTX projects as either video or as a stand-alone executable for Mac or PC. This tutorial is for non-responsive projects only as these two publishing methods are not compatible with responsive projects. Publish projects as MP4 files ➜ https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/publish-projects-mp4-files.html Publish projects as executable files ➜ https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/publish-projects-executable-files.html
