No Slide Progression in Captivate 7 From PPTX
After importing a PPTX file into Captivate 7 it does not progress (from the very start) like it does in the PowerPoint slide show.) Is this a PowerPoint setting preventing it? All Captivate slides are No Action and Go to the Next Slide and this even happens if No Action is changed to Continue. When published and going with the forward button in Captivate you come to a black screen.
Hello ,
Please check the option of High Fidelity at the time of importing pptx and also change the Advance slide to Automatically and then check again .
Thanks and Regards

can we send pre-test score (Pre-test question slide) and post test score (Question slide) both in lms from captivate?
Pretest score normally is not sent to the LMS. However it is stored in a system variable, you could use JS to send it.

How do you prevent auto slide progression?
Hi All,
I'm fairly new to Captivate and am looking to use it to develop a learner-paced e-learning module consisting of a number of slides. However, I am finding that when using Captivate's playback bar, the slides automatically progress, where in fact what I want is the project to stop at each slide, allowing the learner to press 'back' or 'forward' when they have finished reading the slide.
I am sure I am missing something very obvious here, surely! If not, is there a way round it?
Regards
JoshWelcome to our community, Sheryl
If you are talking about pausing between slides when you move from perhaps slide 1 to 2 to 3 and so on, the way it is normally done is by using Click Boxes or Buttons on each slide. With Captivate 4 or 5 you could accomplish it using a Widget. There is one included that is named "Perpetual Buttons".
If you simply want the project to open and remain paused until the user clicks to proceed, you may configure the Auto Play option found in Edit > Preferences > Project > Start and End.
Cheers... Rick

Hi Leith,
From what I know, such functionality is currently not available.

How to passing value into Captivate from html?
How to passing value into Captivate from html?
Or
How to communicate between objects in one slides?Hi czhao0378 and welcome to the forums!
Captivate does not natively allow you to communicate your own
data, either internally or externally. The only way to make this
happen is to create your own functionality, either via custom-built
Flash objects or JavaScript code executed in the browser or a
combination of both.
The only example I've seen of any "data passing" inside
Captivate is a custom text input/output solution that was posted on
the Captivate Developer Exchange:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1253 021
This solution consists of an input box that takes information
from the user on one slide and a second box that displays that
information on another slide. The functionality was built in Flash
and is embedded in Captivate as a Flash "animation". Unfortunately,
since this is a custom functionality, the information is not
included in the user completion results Captivate can pass to a
Learning Management System.
Since the solution mentioned above relies on a Flash
Actionscript variable to hold the information that is displayed,
you can also pass the information from HTML to Captivate using the
"SetVariable" command in JavaScript. This would at least allow you
to display your own HTML-based data inside Captivate.
Beyond that, I'm not aware of any other way to gather and
pass data in Captivate. -
How can I disable the "go to last visited slide" option in captivate?
Can anybody tell me how can I disable the "go to last visited slide" option in captivate so that every time when i launch my captivate file from a LMS, it WILL NOT go back to the last visited slide? I know that Lectora has a checkbox for this but i can't seem to find it in Captivate.
Are you deploying on a LMS? In that case check the option 'Never Send Resum Data' in Preferences, Quiz, Reporting, LMS Customization Settings.
If you are not deploying on LMS, check if Self-paced Learning is disabled in the TOC?

Slide effect - change dinamically from to
Hi,
i try to build a slide effect (v1.5) for change dinamically
the options 'from' and 'to', the scope is obtain a graphic
interface for domotics application (eg. open sliding-windows to
25%)
i used this sample code, but the value in the effect not
change:
<input type="button" onclick="slide.options.to='25%';"
value="Set To 25%">
<input type="button" onclick="slide.options.to='50%';"
value="Set To 50%">
<input type="button" onclick="slide.options.to='75%';"
value="Set To 75%">
<input type="button" onclick="slide.options.to='100%';"
value="Set To 100%">
<input type="button" onclick="alert(slide.options.to);"
value="CHECK">
<input type="button" onclick="slide.start();"
value="START">
<div id="slidingWindows">
<div>
<div>img src="images/window.jpg" alt="" border="0"
/></div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var slide = new Spry.Effect.Slide('slidingWindows',
{duration: 2000, from: '0%', to: '25%', toggle: false,
scaleContent:true});
</script>
Thanks!Hello,
The percent values are translated in pixel values when the
effect is instantiated. The result is cached and later used in each
of the animators. If you manually set a new value the effect will
ignore those values.
Your problem is a little bit more complicated. You'll have to
create a more complex script that will instantiate on the fly a new
effect for each button when that button is clicked. Because when
you instantiate an effect another effect it is possible to have run
the percent value will be considered from the current size and not
from the old original size. In this situation we'll have to also
compute manually before effect instantiation the pixel value
against the maximum one:
<input type="button" onclick="slideIt('25%');" value="Set
To 25%">
<input type="button" onclick="slideIt('50%');" value="Set
To 50%">
<input type="button" onclick="slideIt('75%');" value="Set
To 75%">
<input type="button" onclick="slideIt('100%');" value="Set
To 100%">
<input type="button" onclick="alert(slide.options.to);"
value="CHECK">
<input type="button" onclick="slide.start();"
value="START">
<div id="slidingWindows">
<div>
<div><img src="images/window.jpg" alt="" border="0"
/></div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function slideIt(to){
var percent = parseInt(to, 10);
// 300 is a random chose value.
var pixels = to * 300 / 100;
slide = new Spry.Effect.Slide('slidingWindows', {duration:
2000, from: '0px', to: pixels + 'px', toggle: false, scaleContent:
true});
// the default value is 25%
slideIt('25%');
</script>

Hi, I made a slide show with music from 81 photos I downloaded to iphoto from my camera. I would like to burn the slide show to DVD, but can't make this happen. How do I go about doing this?
If the DVD is to play on a DVD Player, then Share -> Send to iDVD as iDVD is the only app that creates the correct file structure and format for this purpose.
If the DVD is just to hold the file, then Export to the desktop and burn with the Finder.

Can we perform Progress Order option from Order Header level?
Hi,
Can any one let me know about the basic functionality of Progress Order and on which scenario we can apply this option and also please clarify me the below doubt.
Our Functionality as follows:
1. Once the Order is booked then Credit Hold is applied against to the Order at the Order Header Level
2. We are releasing the Hold from Actions tab
3. Now we are placing the cursor at each Line Level and Progressing the Order using the Progress Order Option to fulfill and close the Sales Order lines.
Now what my doubt is Credit Hold is applied at Order level but we are performing the Progress Order option from Level. When I try to user the same option from Order Header level system is showing the following error message “APP-ONT-251015: There are no eligible activities to be completed. There is at least one deferred or externally notifiedactivity in this workflow. Please see the workflow monitor or status window for more information” because of this I am using progress order option for each line.
I want Progress Order option to applicable for entire Order so that I can fulfill and close all Lines at one time.
What is the best way to Progress Order for entire Order instead of selecting each line to Progress the Order.
Please share your views.
Regards,
Kevin.Hi Kevin,
I am not quite sure if I understood your issue correctly but if you are using R12, there is a check box available called "Progress Workflow" on Holds definition, which will progress the entire order.

Retrieving & displaying values from a slide in Adobe Captivate 5.5
Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5.
1.In a slide I assign a variable with "active" or "disabled" when user clicks Active button or Disabled button in that slide. This I do with Javascript.
2.In the next slide I am able to retrieve the resultant (active/disabled). And I want this result to be displayed on a button as a label or display in a Test Caption. Is it possible to do. If so how?
Please suggest.
With thank and regards
KrishnaI am able to save the text in a java script variable and show the same in an alert (as you observed) but not clear/sure how to assign or save it to a user defined variable in Captivate. Kindly suggest how to first create this user defined variable and how to displays the contents in Captivate.

Dynamic sub-topic slide counter in Captivate 7
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me guidance on the following routine that i would like to implement using Captivate 7.
I would like a front-end menu selector slide to dynamically count how many slides are allocated to each of the sub-topics so that it can 'show' when all slides have been completed topic by topic.
I envisage puting a pre-loaded topic selector onto my master slide, so that when you load a new slide into the filmstrip, you would choose from a 'dropdown' as to which topic this slide belongs (this dropdown would not be visible in runtime)
This way, when i enter the package in runtime, I can use the system variable to count how many slide are in the total package, but when i get to the menu slide, it will have dynamically counted how many slides are alloctaed to each topic before i enter the topics. Once the total amount of slides allocated to a topic have been completed, the menu button will indicate this.
It is the sub-topic dynamic counting part of this query that i am having trouble with.
Thank you in advance for any assitance you can provide on this matter.
CraigHi Lilybiri,
OK, Captivate has a system variable that calculates how many slides are in a total package, but, for example, my package is broken down into sub-topics of:
Colours
Animals,
Cars
Flowers
etc ....
When I am developing the content and I add a new slide from my Master template, there will be a dropdown menu (not visible in runtime) from which I select which topic this new slide belongs to (ie Colours, Animals, etc ......). So I can do this for all new slides added to my package. (Probably a variable set for each slide which will be 'Slidetopic = Colours' or 'Slidetopic = Cars')
When I finally run the package, I will have a 'Menu' slide where I can choose which sub-topic I want to visit, but I wan Captivate to dynamically count how many slides are there allocated to 'Colours', how many are set to 'Animals', etc, etc .....
This way I can then determine exactly when I have completed the 'Cars' topic and change the menu button to indicate this fact.
Upon initial entry, I would suspect my menu screen will display information such as:
Total slides = 40
Colours = 12 slides
Animals = 8 slides
Cars = 14 slides
Flowers = 6 slides
It is the dynamic counting of the sub-topic quantity where I am hoping that someone may help me.
Does this make my ambitions any clearer Lilybiri ?
Thank you for your interest.
Best wishes,
Craig -
I am looking for a way to print out my slides in a word document so that my copy editor can not only read my slide notes, but also view what is on my slide making sure there are not any errors. When I build my slides, I stack images up with things fading in and out enabling me to record audio for only one slide as opposed to each build. However when I publish to the handouts, my copy editor receives a slide with a lot of things built up on it and she can not see everthing that is on the slide (only what's on top). Does anyone have any advice or information they can give me relating to publising to handouts or storyboarding so that each slide build is seen?
Thank you in advance! I appreciate any help on this!Captivate's handouts work in much the same way as PPT handouts. If you had a lot of objects and animation on a single PPT slide it wouldn't look much different to a Captivate slide.
One good thing about Captivate though is that if you hide objects on the timeline for a given slide, the way that slide looks in Edit mode is pretty much what it will look like in the Handout doc graphic. With judicious hiding of extraneous objects your slide printout won't look too bad. The reviewers should at this stage mostly be just looking at the voiceover script anyway. The NEXT stage of the review cycle would be to check the animation and syncing with the approved voiceover.
There's no way you can give your reviewer a Word doc straight out of Captivate that will show how you've animated the objects (fade ins and fade outs or effects etc). If it's essential tey see this in action then consider sending them a PDF output from the project with TTS speech from the voiceover script and objects roughly synced to the TTS. I don't see any point wasting too much time on getting everything synced perfectly at this stage because reviewers are just as likely to change a lot of the voiceover and render a lot of work useless. But some reviewers have no imagination and can't get an idea of how the elearning will turn out until they see it almost finished. Managers are the most likely to be like this. And the higher up in management they are, the less imagination they have.
