Captivate 6 - Trying to make all click boxes not visible in output

Adobe Captivate 6 - how do you make all the click boxes not visible in output. Help says to uncheck the Visible in Output box, easy enough, then it say to click the Apply to all icon and there is no such icon. Do I have to go through every single slide and manually do each one?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
I think you want to 'hide' the click box, so that it is not active, in the Properties panel? A click box itself is never visible to the user on the stage, but can be active or not.
I always copy/paste an invisible object, it will keep its properties. Since a click box has no style, you cannot apply a style to all click boxes.

Make all click boxes required before proceeding to next slide

I have created a screen with three click boxes and a next button. The learner will need to click all three click boxes before they can click next to move to the next slide. If they do not click all three boxes they will need to get a message saying they need to view all content before proceeding. Does anyone know how to program the next button to require the three click boxes to be clicked before proceeding?
Thanks in advance,
~A

Question has been treated multiple times in this forum. You don't need to program the Next button, but the click boxes. I suppose they do not have to be clicked in sequence? In that case:
create three user variables, one for each click box: v_one, v_two, v_three and give them a default value of 0
hide the next button (in the Properties panel - since I don't know the version, will not go in details)
for each click box create a conditional advanced action with two decisions:
First decision is a mimicked standard action 'Always'
    IF 1 is equal to 1
       Assign v_one with 1    (change variable in the actions for the other two click boxes to v_two, v_three)
Second decision checks the value of the three variables
    IF v_one is equal to 1 AND
        v_two is equal to 1 AND
                        v_three is equal to 1
                    Show Bt_Next
Be sure to have the pausing point of the Next button later than the pausing point of the click boxes. That will mean that you have to shorten the timeline of the click boxes, and check the timing properties of the button

How to make page continue after all click boxes have been clicked (CP6)

Hi,
I have a standard non quiz hotspot page in my course. I want this page to continue to show a final animation once the learner has clicked all click boxes on screen.
At the moment, I have set up Advanced Actions to make the click boxes show the relevant information successfully. I have also set up an array which tells the page to continue once all the click boxes have been clicked, however the page does not continue until the user clicks on the page again AFTER clicking all the click boxes.
Why is this happening?
Thanks

Lilybiri, I had problem with advanced actions and you helped me a great deal with your skills and your template for reusing.
I will try to explain the best I can, If there are 3 buttons on a slide, and when each one is clicked: they assign some variable from 0 to 1, conditional action says if all assigned variables are 1 then do action for that slide, slide action can be: show 4th button (initially invisible) for example. That 4th button will be visible only if you proceed to some other slide by clicking one of those first 3 buttons (via jump to slide), and when you navigate back to that initial slide 4th button will be visible. This was the only way for me to show 4th button which is initially invisible on a slide with conditional actions. Standard actions works just fine: you click something and assigned action is performed. But, again for conditional actions slide needs to be reloaded. For me it works only this way otherwise nothing happens on a slide when I have situation like this (with conditional actions). This is why I have replied in this way since I have recognized my problem. Am I wrong? And yes, event is triggered on slide Enter.

What version of iOS are you using?
Even though these apps are not working, are you able to AirPrint? To AirPrint, bring up something you want to print, press the action button, press print, select the printer, and touch print.
What is the name of the HP app you downloaded? There are a few different ones, so I will need to know the specific name.

Captivate 7 - Multiple Click Boxes not working

I would really appreciate some help on this. I've been reading the forums and it looks like this pops up again and again. I've tried some of the solutions, but I can't seem to make it work.
I have a slide with 8 click boxes on it. I would like for the user to click on box and then get a definition in the form of a text box. I'd like for them to be able to click on 1 box or all the boxes before they move on. I'd like for them to choose to move on with a "Continue" button that goes to the next slide.
On the preview playback, only 3 or 4 of the click boxes will work. Then, the click boxes stop working. It's not the same 3 or 4 boxes, but just the first ones that work. If I remove a pause on the continue button, it will work. Otherwise, it stops as well.
Initially, I tried to do this as a simple action. Then, I read that Advanced Actions will allow the playback to continue. The Advanced Action is 1 line that is Show and then the Text Box.
Below is my timeline. I'd appreciate help with this!

Did you see this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5826235#5826235 ?
What is the function of the Buttons on that slide (they have no pausing, are active all the time): especially the Last Attempt action?
What is the Last Attempt action for the click boxes?
Important: how did you preview?

Captivate 3 - click boxes not working when published

I have a fairly large Captivate 3 file (131 MB .cp, 77 slides, most w/ audio) that I received from a vendor and am making some final edits. When I preview "next 5 slides" everything works great. When I publish though, the click boxes aren't working. I hear the click sound, but the action (continue, jump to slide, etc) does not occur. My gut feeling is that the file is fairly large and certain functions aren't being properly published. I have done all I know to reduce the size of both the .cp and published files (image quality, audio quality, deleting unused items, remove Adobe Connect features, resave w/ new name, etc).
Anyone know a potential cause and solution?

Hi there,
I have seen many instances when click boxes won't work. In this first instance I would suggest thatyou try removing the click box on one of the slides, insert a new one, publish and see if this makes any difference.
If, not then try copying all of your slides from the existing project to a new file. If one of the slides does not copy across it might be that some part of the original project has become corrupted.
In most cases I have found that removing the original interactive object: Click box, Text Entry Box etc and manually replacing this with a new one tends to address this issue.
Let us know how you get on.

Click Box not working in Captivate 5

Why do simple things sometimes seem hard?? I have a click box created and set to "jump to slide x" when clicked. This is on a presentation imported from PP 2010 and using Captivate 5. When clicked in preview mode, the slide simply goes to the next screen rather than jumping to the one I want. I notice there is already a click box created automatically on every screen of the imported presentation. When I remove it, the presentation automatically goes to the next screen rather than waiting for the user to click to advance. I want it to advance by the user clicking the forward arrow in the player controls. If I leave it on screen, it seems to override my added click box. Here is what my click box settings are:
Here is what the click box looks like on the screen. You can see that I resized (moved out of the way) the large click box automatically created by Captivate:
This is using XP for a course that will be published in SCORM. As always, many thanks for helping!

Ah ha! Yes, I do have a quiz. 17 scored questions scattered throughout the course. Do I need to move the "jump to" slide before the last question then (or somewhere else as long as it's before the last question)?
Thanks!

Text Click box not working when using back button on playbar

I have an interstesting situation.
I have a slide that has 2 text clickboxes (Slide B)
Each text click box has an advanced action associated that controls what is displayed on the next slide (Slide C) . The click boxes and the advanced actions work just fine except for the following situation:
The learner is on Slide C and uses the 'back button' on the playbar to return to the slide where the two text click boxes are (Slide B), then the click boxes don't seem to work.
However if the learner goes back one additional slide, the slide before slide B (let's call that one slide A) and the continues from Slide A to Slide B, then the click boxes on Slide B work again.
Can't figure out why that is?
has anyone come across this issue before?

Not for native Captivate interactive objects that suffer with this limitation. There are interactive widgets such as the Infosemantics Event Handler that have preference options to Reset Success/Fail Criteria After Action.
You could download a trial version and give that a go:

You can attach this widget to any kind of screen object to make that object interactive.

Captivate 5 recording to add click boxes on mouse click

Hi,
I have used Captivate in the past and I just installed a trial of V5. I am not able to get the click boxes to appear when recording my software simulations. I am recording in training mode. I click settings, Mode=Training Simulation, and then click the Add Text Captions. When I preview, none of the boxes appear. I have tried in multiple software programs thinking that was the issue, but nothing works.
Does anyone know what I am doing incorrectly?

Hi Rebecca,
What you are doing is correct, but there is one more step.
On the main recording dialog "check the Training checkBox and uncehck the Demo"
This should work.
Please see the attached snapshot.

Captivate crashes with Automatically add click boxes

Ive found a problem with captivate 2 which causes it to crash
(it always crashes on my windows vista systems, but i dont think
captivate 2 is compatible with windows vista yet).
If i put a check in the box for "automatically add click
boxes" under recording options, it will crash fairly soon after i
start recording. Captivate 1 doesnt crash at all on the same
system.
Does anyone have any ideas of what i could try? (this is a
must have option, without automatically add click boxes, it just
simply goes into demonstration mode, which i do not require)

Thanks Rick, i wasnt aware that i could add click boxes to
the captivate projects, which is a help, but unfortunately a great
deal more work (i already have to press print screen enough times
as it doesnt capture properly).
Mark, the problem is the same on all my vista systems,
whenever we run in training simulation mode, or select
'Automitically add click boxes' in a custom option. It happens on
different builds of Vista including Vista Final RTM. The graphics
cards are all using drivers certified for use with Vista RTM. Why
is it that captivate 1 works fine on Vista, but captivate 2 doesnt?
is it something to do with Flash 9 not being great with
Vista?

How to make a Click Box URL open in a new window?

Hullo, I am having an awful time being stumped by what I am sure is a totally simple solution that continues to evade me:
How can I set a click box set to open a URL to open that URL in a new tab or window?
My click box "button" appears on a slide in the middl eof the presentation, and I'd like the user to be able to click on the hyperlink and not navigate away from the video.
Thanks!

Hi there
What version of Captivate?
Typically there is an option to click just to the right of where you type the URL.
Below is an image of the version 5 properties.
Cheers... Rick

Welcome to the forums!!
a few questions first...
a, did your site work in MobileMe initially before you purchased your domain name?
b, does it still work if you type in your MobileMe URL rather than the purchased domain name?

Captivate CS4 - Trouble using the Click box

Hi.
I'm hoping someone can help with a frustating problem I am having.
I'm using captivate 4, and have several slides in my project.
I have a next button on the slide, with a click box set to pause until the user click the area. Once clicked the slide moves to the next slide.
However, on the same slide I have two buttons - one which opens a video file (so the button opens a URL when clicked), and a button on a different part of the slide which open a different URL link to different video..
The click box seems to work, and doesn't move on to the next slide when the first button is clicked on, opening up a URL video.
However, when I then click on the next button which opens up the second URL video, the slide suddenly moves onto the nextslide, without me clicking on the Click box area.
Why is this happening? It seems to work fine, until I place two buttons on the same slide, and the second button is clicked. I don't want the slide to move on until the user clicks the click box area.
Please can someone help!
Thanks

Hi,
After a good night sleep I think I may have resolved the problem (I think). On the two buttons, they are set to open a URL link. Next to where I input the URL link, there is a menu where I select the option 'New' to open the video in a new internet window.
What I didn't realise in at the bottom of that same menu, there is also an option to select 'continue project'. If I de-select this, if I then click on the button the project remains paused as it should (until the user clicks the click box). So, originally what was happening is I had the 'continue project' selected for both those buttons, and this was overpowering the click box pause project function.
Fingers crossed it works. It seems to be on my tester!
Thanks

Click box not functioning properly the second time it's clicked

I have put a click box on a slide and picked the following
properties:
ON success open a url or file
Infinite attempts
display for rest of slide
show hand cursor over "hit" area
stop slide audio when clicked
The slide itself is set up to progress when a button is
selected labeled next
There are other slides in the project that have the exact
same click box and they function in the published project fine. In
fact, I deleted the one that does not work and copied and pasted
one from another slide. Is there some hidden function on the slide?
Thank you,
Karen

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "doesn't work the
second time"?
Are you expecting it to launch a URL and it's not? Stop slide
audio and it's not?
Typically, most "open a URL" issues have to do with not
unchecking the "Continue playing project" option in the Click Box
properties. The button only pauses until the user clicks, then
continues playing on the timeline.
If you want the slide to pause indefinitely, you need to
click the down arrow button to the right of the URL field and
deselect "Continue playing project".

ITunes 12: Buttons missing in dialog boxes (not visible)

Hello.
Since using iTunes 12 (in my case: German version) buttons like YES/NO or OK/CANCEL are not shown in smaller dialog boxes when iTunes wants to interact with the user and asks question whether to do this or to do that.
The buttons are just not visible, the boxes are too small and they cannot be resized (= fixed size). I think this could be due to longer German texts in the dialog boxes compared to the English language version.
The buttons are there but cannot be seen or clicked.
Screen resolution is 1920x1200 and text zoom factor is 100% in Windows 7. Window size for these dialog boxes seems to be hard-corded and due to line breaks and longer texts in German the YES/NO buttons seem to get an unexpected carriage return moving the buttons out of the visible area.
Please fix this!
Kind regards,
Argentinos

Example: here a part of the buttons is visible but in many dialog boxes they are completely cut off.
