Captivate 4 Open url from a button not working?

Hi All,
I have published a scorm course from captivate 4 and have installed to our servers. I would like to have a link to a document that is online (.doc) but whenever I click the transparent button it starts to load, opens a window (which has the correct title name) but then disappears with no warning or error message.
The link resides behind a transparent button, and has the settings On Success open url or file in a new window. I know the problem is not specific to this document because I have had the same problem with a completly different online file location in the past.
Please Help!!
Many thanks in advance.

Hi there
Please send me a private E-Mail message to rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and advise of the exact file name of the file you are linking to.
I'll send you back a file that you can use to test and see if the link works.
Cheers... Rick

I am new at Captivate 8 and I have created a learning project using an existing power point presentation. I have added a button that will allow my students to view a video on the subject. When I run the project in Preview the button works but when I publish it, it stops working.

I added an Interactions button and in the Actions on Success I open an URL or file. I have placed the video on our web server. In the URL I point to our web server "http://www.wmabhs.org/Media/Add Client 3rd Party Coverage.mp4". If I run this from any browser it works. So what do you think I have done wrong?

The boxes where I would type in search terms and URL are GONE! So is the BACK BUTTON. HELP!

I downloaded software to convert jpg files to pdf's, and it worked. however, I think it installed Incredimail, and I suspect that it installed Ask.com - neither of which I wanted. It was just after that that my back arrow and my boxes where i type in search terms and urls DISAPPEARED! Firefox is compatible with some important websites and has features that i need. NEED.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Captivate 8, knowledge check radio buttons and check boxes not diplaying correctly in HTML5

Hello. I am working in Cp 8 on a pc (Win 7, 64-bit) and publishing in HTML5, SCORM 2004, 3rd ed. My issue is with knowledge checks. In preview they look fine, but when published, the radio buttons and check boxes are oversized and do not appear as they should. Additionally, the rollover highlight that covers the distracters is skewed and does not cover all the text in cases of long answer choices. When published as a SWF, there are no issues but project requirements are for HTML5 output only. Help?

Create an XML Schema (XSD) and define that as the default form schema. The form data will conforms to the order of fields defined in the XML schema.
Hope that helps.

Adobe Captivate - Multiple Choice Quiz Question - Radio Button and Text Alignment

I have created a quiz with multiple choice questions.
No matter what I do I cannot align the radio button and the text for the choices (see below).
I would like to align the center of the radio button with the center of the letter A) and B).
I have tried every option that I can think of in the Properties options.
Please let me know if anyone has a solution for this.
Thank you

Thanks for the reply.
Previously I tried several different combinations of fonts and font sizes, but didn't see any change.
Does anyone else know of anything else that could effect this situation?

Buttons containing URL's dont work when published.

I am using Captivate 3 and when publishing a project as an swf any buttons which include links to external URL’s don’t work.
When the buttons are clicked on in the browser nothing happens, the URL’s seem to have been lost. Other buttons in the project which navigate to other slides carry on working, only external URL buttons have stopped.
Could anyone please help me with this?
Thanks
Rob

Problem with Audio in Buttons and Interactive

Hi!!
I have problems with the sound into buttons and Forms Interactive. The question is when I add a sound within a button, this it sounds directly when it enters the slides and not when the user presses the button.
How I solve it?
Thanks

Hi there
It isn't a problem. The function is working as it should. You simply have a different expectation!
You have to think about it in different ways. When do you want the audio to play? When the button has been clicked, right? When you attach audio to an object such as a Button or an Image, the audio plays when that object appears. The trick here is to make an object appear on the Button click. You then attach the audio to that.
If you have Captivate 3 or older, you can enable the Success caption for the button. Attach the audio to the caption. Button is clicked, caption appears and you hear the audio.
What's that you are asking? Oh, you don't want to actually SEE a Success Caption? No problem. Choose the Transparent caption type and remove any text!
If you have Captivate 4, you can also use the same method to accomplish this. But you can also probably use the new scripting in it to make the audio play on a Button click. I can't tell you how to do that at the moment if that's the approach you want to take. I'll have to leave that to another person here that has played with the scripting to explain how it's done.
Likely it involves opening a panel, inserting or declaring a variable, adding a sound file, associating the variable with the sound file, assigning actions to the button to check the variable and change it if you need to. Stuff like that. Sounds a bit like a Rube Goldberg setup. But really that's what happens with the Success Caption method. It's just that we deal with objects and not the code behind the scenes.
Hopefully this was somewhat helpful... Rick

In the address bar, how do you get rid of the Amazon button, the "e-pub catalogue" button and change my search button to Google vs Babylon? Where is the button beside the forward arrow that would allow you to see your current history of links?

On my address bar, there is now a superfluous Amazon button at the right of the forward arrow where there used to be a button that would allow you to see your recent links. It's gone. In addition there is a useless "epub catalog" button and the search button is Babylon instead of Google. How do I go back to my working address bar.

Right click the Back / Forward buttons to get a list of sites you visited.
To reinstate Google as your search engine, do the following.
* In the location bar, type '''about:config '''and hit Enter.
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
* Go to File | Exit
* Restart Firefox, go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
* Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''EDIT''': Remove the AmAzon button by right clicking a blank part of the tab bar and click '''Customize'''. Then drag it into the panel which opens.

Issue with Captivate 8 and SumTotal Learning Maestro LMS -

I get blank screen when launching course published as SCORM 2004 using Captivate 8. All publish settings are the same as used with Captivate 7 and all course properties and settings are the same in the LMS as courses published using Captivate 7. When course launches, instead of the opening screen from the course, a blank frame appears showing the course playbar and the LMS navigation bar. Opening screen does not appear until the play button on the playbar is clicked. Any idea why this is happening? Below is a screenshot of the blank frame.

Adding additional information about this problem. This appears to be related to issues between Chrome and the Captivate 8 course, but I am not certain exactly why. Today I redid the Captivate 8 file, using a working Captivate 7 file. I published the course using Captivate as a SCORM 2004 course. I tested the course in the SCORM Cloud and it opened correctly to the Opening screen of the course.
Next I uploaded the course to Maestro using IE11 as my browser. The course opened properly when I previewed it from course record. NO blank screen.
I then went into Maestro using Chrome 36 as my browser ( which is what I routinely use) and created another course -- uploaded the same file for this course. The blank screen with the playbar appeared when I previewed the course from the course record.
Still in the LMS with Chrome as the browser, I then went to the course that I had uploaded using IE11 as the browser -- got the blank screen again. Does this confirm that the issue is related to Chrome 36 breaking all Captivate HTML5 content?

Can we pass parameters back and forth between Captivate 4 and a homegrown LMS?

We are currently using a home grown LMS and ToolBook. At the beginning of every training course we are passing several parameters to ToolBook using a getparameters function and sending several parameters back to the LMS from our ToolBook assessments using HTTP Post.
We are in the process of elavuating Captivate 4 and we need to be able to do something similar to what we are currently doing with ToolBook. At the start of each training session we need to be able to send several pieces of information (user ID, return URL, etc. etc,) from the LMS to Captivate and at the end of each assessment we need to be able to send several pieces of information back (user ID, pass/fail, score, etc.) to the LMS. We do not need to display any of the information brought into Captivate.
Is it possible to do this using Captivate user-defined variables and HTTP? If so, can anyone out there give us some pointers on exactly how to accomplish this. If not, is there any way that this can be done with Captivate?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vernon . . .

I don't really have any examples at hand but the basic process would be something like this.
1. Create the user defined variable in your Captivate project. Publish your project.
2. Edit the HTML file and add your JavaScript to send that information into the Captivate user defined variable. I can't remember the exact JS code for that but perhaps you can see that from the link Rick posted. If not then that information can definetly be found on www.pipwerks.com and I think he has a couple of examples as well (check out the "Lab").
That should really be it.

LM00 - Hide push button and Command box

Hi all,
We are in the process of implementing ITS mobile for WM transactions (for example : LM00)
In the browser, I could see pushbuttons F2, F4 and command box. I dont need these push buttons and the command box. Can I hide them in the browser? In fact I want to hide the whole line.
Note : The above mentioned push buttons are not the ones coded inside the application.
Thankyou in advance.
Regards,
Vic

Hello Edgar,
Thankyou. That helped.
I have 2 more please
1. The pop-message (in one of the custom developed RF transaction) that appears on MC9090 through SAP Console doesnt appear when I use ITSMobile with browser on Windows Mobile 5.0 on the same handheld. Any idea, why I will not get this message? Could this be because of missing template for pop-up message box?
I am trying to use LM00 (+ other tranx) through ITS mobile
2. I recieve a small screen prompt to enter User ID/Password on the IE 6.0 in the laptop on typing URL. However, in MC9090 handheld device with Windows Mobile 5.0+IE, I do not get this small screen to enter User ID/Password. Therefore a blank screen with no text is displayed. Do I have create template for this small screen too? If so what will be screen number (pgm rlogon?), please. Can you please throw some light on this please?
Thanks a ton in advance.
Best regards,
Vic
