Adobe Captivate 6 - Interactive Widgets and Resume Playing Timeline?!

Hello! I am using Adobe Captivate 6 to work on several training projects and the slides where I have inserted interactive widgets (such as accordion theme), along with the normal text to speech and timed text boxes, when I go to publish in either html or swf those particular slides pause the whole presentation/training. Unlike the other slides that continue/play the timeline when entered these particular slides (with interactive widgets) do not do the same and pause the presentation (you have to press the play button on the menu bar to continue with narrative and I'm trying to have it play automatically). Does anyone know how I may go about having these particular slides not pause the presentation and continue playing the timeline. I've exhausted all measures and need help. Thank you.

In Captivate 6, all learning interactions (accordions is not an interactive
widget at all) were pausing the slide at the first frame, sorry. That has
changed later. In 7 and present version, most learning interactions do not pause at all (with the exception of some games), you have to pause yourself to allow time for the interaction.
Have some workarounds, but none for what you want. Keep the interactions on a separate slide is the only recommendation I can offer.
As for my first remark about Accordions not being an interactive widget, last night I tried to explain some concepts of the interactions to another user in this thread: Tracking Learning Interactions

  • Interactive widgets and pausing the timeline

    I'd like to create an Interactive type widget that pauses at
    the end of its time on the timeline like a click box does, but as
    far as I can tell, any widget that returns true for isInteractive()
    is going to automatically pause the Captivate movie near the
    beginning of the widget's time on the timeline.
    Am I missing a setting, variable or function that affects
    pausing? "Pause for failure/success" doesn't seem to have any
    effect, and I can't find anything in the widget documentation that
    mentions the pausing behavior.

    I found the setting. It's the "Pause after" field in the
    Widget dialog box on the Options tab. Don't know how I missed that.
    However, I'd still be interested to know if there's a way to
    set this value from within the widget.

  • Why is the download "Not applicable" for my online purchase of Adobe Captivate 8 Student and Teacher Edition for Mac?

    I purchased “Adobe Captivate 8 Student and Teacher Edition” for Mac on 7/31/14 and it is now 12/17/14 (only 5 months later) but it is showing as “Not applicable” when I go to download (maybe re-download) the program. I understood that I would be able to use the application on 2 computers, one at home and one at work. I think I’ve downloaded the program at home one time but have yet to install and activate it. I now have a new computer at work that can support that program and want to install the program on my office computer, but cannot download it again. Please advise.

    It seems like that you have purchased a subscription for Captivate 8. In subscription you do not require any serial number. Subscriptions are activated on the basis of your Adobe Id. When user will install Captivate he has to sign in with the same Adobe Id under which they bought subscription. It will get activated after successful sign in during the installation.
    As far as the installer is concern there is no difference in the trial version installer or purchased version installer. The installer is same for trial and purchased copy. All user needs to do is sign in during the installation if it is a subscription or use his serial number if it is a perpetual license or volume license.
    You may download the trial version from the link mentioned above and then use your Adobe Id to activate the subscription.
    Please let me know in case you need any further information.

  • Adobe Captivate 5.5 and Neo Speech: issue to use Paul voice

    Hello,
    I have installed succesfully Adobe Captivate 5.5 and then Neo speech Add-on. But unfortunately, when using Speech management function, I can't find Paul and Kate voice. These voices are not proposed in the voice list while the installation has suceeded.
    A Kate and Paul directories have been install under Adobe Captivate 5.5 but I don't know why these voices seems to be not installed.
    My PC uses Windows XP, default language = french. Adobe Captivate has been installed in English.
    Thanks for your support,
    Odile

    Hi,
    First I have installed Adobe Captivate 5.5.
    Then I have installed Neo spech.
    I have restarted my PC, then launch Captivate: Paul and Kate voices are not present in Speech Manager. And I have no special error message, only voices missing.
    After that I have installed Loquendo speechs.
    Launch again Captivate and see that Loquendo voices are pesent in Speech Manager.
    Now I will show you Neo Speech install report, installation done after an Captivate application stop:
    The installation has succeeded in the good directory.
    When installing Loquendo the report is not really the same, it seems that some additional execution are done:
    Following other discussions on the forum, I have looked at my Windows Control Panel Voice and see that 3 voices are proposed. I assume that these are Windows voice. I didn't find Stefan, Simon, Kate or Paul voices and I'm not ablle to add or configure something.
    If someone has an idea of the issue

  • Adobe Captivate Help | Drag-and-drop interaction (for subscription and Adobe Software Assurance customers only)

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/drag-and-drop-interaction.html

    Yep.  But it will only likely get to you in the next version released for NON subscription or ASA customers.  With 6.1 Adobe was giving a preview of the functionality they would be including in your next release.  Either way, whether you upgraded to the subscription edition or waited for the next paid upgrade, you were always going to be paying something to get this new functionality.  6.1 users just got it earlier than everyone else.  That was Adobe's decision.  It certainly hasn't been a popular one.

  • Adobe Captivate 5 - Video won't play in web browser

    I've tried inserting it as a slide video and as a FLV file. Plays fine in the preview, but not after publication and pulling it up on website. In one version the skin is there, but inactive. In others, there's just nothing there. The progress bar continues to move (on the presentation skin), but no vid plays. I've tried IE, Firefox and Chrome without success. Vid files aren't that big (14 and 21 KB, respectively). I've tried compressing when I publish, to no avail. I'm not yet an expert here and don't know what else to try. If you've got an idea, I'll try it. Thanks.

    Hi there
    Stoopid question time.
    You *DID* know that you need to copy the FLV to the same server location as the SWF, right? (Sometimes folks think the video is included and all wrapped up inside the SWF)
    Assuming the video is there, have you tried linking directly to the video? It could be you need to have a friendly chat with your web admin peeps and have them add the FLV files to their list of MIME types in order to properly serve them.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Adobe Captivate 5.5 Red Line on Timeline

    I have a red line on some of the slides in my Timeline going from left to right but not as long as the entire slide's timeline.
    What does that mean?

    @Varun, Sorry Varun to correct your answer but Video Demo did not exist yet in Captivate 5.5.
    @dggambal That red line meant in 5.5 and previous versions that in a automatic capture Captivate had to switch over to Full Motion Recording because of moving actions like dragging, scrolling that cannot be captured on static slides.
    But I'm puzzled because you tell that the red line is not going till the end of the timeline. Normally FMR-slides are separate slides. Could you post a screenshot of that timeline? Did you perhaps change the slide duration? Can you play that slide to see what happens after the red line?
    One tip: change the settings for FMR in Preferences, Recording from 16 to 32-bit, to have better quality that will be more like the static slides.

  • Adobe Captivate Twitter Widget Hangs

    The widget works as described in the documentation until we enter the

    The following are in the error console in Firefox, but they look like
    only warnings:

    I've double-checked the web server setup and have met all the requirements in the widget documentation. Fails with any browser.
    Can someone please provide tips on how to troubleshoot this problem?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Aimee,
    Apart from looking at the pre-produced widgets there is no documentation available as far as I know.
    It would be nice to have a white paper explaining the widget API and the various posibilities but so far there is nothing like that available. I also fully understand your designers - I too have been experiencing some strange things when making widgets for Captivate 4 and since there is no documentation available it's pretty hard figuring out what and why it goes wrong.

  • Widgets and Adobe Connect

    I have added the note and jigsaw widgets into my Captivate 7 virtual learning, but neither shows when the file is published in Adobe Connect. Does anyone know why?

  • Localize interaction widgets in captivate 6

    I'm using an English installation of Cp6 and would like to incorporate some of the standard captivate interaction widgets into lessons for high school students. However these lessons will have to be fully in Dutch and all of the widget parts need to be localized. The foremost parts (strings) can be edited into the right language from the design mode. But there are still some parts that can not be changed; for example in the word search interaction (see picture). Since the fla sources are not available to me these strings can not be changed. My question now is if I obtain a license for the Dutch version of Cp6 will i also get a fully translated set of interaction widgets? Or are there other work arounds I could use?
    TIA for any answer! 

    There is no Dutch version of Captivate and localisation has never been considered very important IMO. Have been complaining already a lot about that. There are no Dutch TTS, translation of the TOC is cumbersome and translating those interactions is not possible. Please, add your voice to me and other international users (Dutch is also my native tongue) by entering feature requests. Only the requests that do get a lot of support will make it in future versions.
    Lilybiri
    My workaround is to add instructions in Dutch, either with a previous slide, or with a text caption or using Voice Over

  • Widget (interaction) titles and descriptions

    On Captivate interactions (widgets) such as WordSearch and Glossary, one finds 'title' and 'description' on the header. I can alter the other variables in these interactions, but I can't figure out how to add my own title and description. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    As Lilybiri suggested, you can first edit the buttons/content and then edit the Title and Description. This works every time for me.
    You can change the button text in an easy way just by double clicking the circled area below.
    Content linked to buttons can be changed in the same way by double clicking. The changes get reflected in the Captivate stage when you click on OK.
    If you are still facing issues, please mail the source file to [email protected] so that we can look into it.

  • ADOBE form interactive and non-interactive... (HR)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get in touch with SAP web applications (webdynpro, adobe form, bsp...).
    I have the following requirement:
    I have to provide a page within the sap enterprise portal to allow the employee to track his presence. In this page the employee has to check a presence/absence flag and in another page he can justify his absence with some reason.
    I didn't find a standard functionality to meet this requirement, so I think a new form has to be created.
    As additional requirement this form as to be stored as PDF document and it is not needed to store the information contained in the form in the sap backend system. The information contained in the form has to be stored in a non-sap system, so this information should be available as flat file to be imported in the non-sap system.
    I'd like to understand the possible scenarios from a technical point of view to create the required functionalities.
    ADOBE Interactive Form.
    This is a webdynpro (java or abap) that contains the adobe component. The fields of the adobe component are linked to the sap backend system and are editable. The adobe component reads some data from sap bakend system and stores the values filled by the employee via the adobe component in the backend system.
    ADOBE non-interactive Form
    A webdynpro (java or abap) or a BSP has to be built to create some values, then once the user save/submit the information a PDF document is created with the information created in the previous page.
    What is the difference between ADOBE (non-interactive) Form and ADOBE Interactive Form? The difference is that the first one is not editable? There is a big difference in terms of complexity develop an interactive or a non-interactive adobe form?
    BSP that generates the PDF as output?
    Could you please provide some input/defintion/sample to clarify this topic?
    Thanks in advance

  • Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

    Hi,
    I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
    Thanks,

    Hi there
    When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
    One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
    Then note the version number.
    You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.
