PENS in captivate 5

I cannot locate a place to input PENS information in Captivate 5. The official Adobe help file says to choose PENS from the quiz preferences menu, but no such option appears there. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi there
Well it would certainly appear to me that the PENS option is missing. My suggestion is to report it to Adobe as a bug.
Either it's a bug because it isn't there and it should be, or it's a bug in the help documentation and the PENS section should be removed! (link for reporting a bug is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

Captivate 4 Templates

I'm creating a Project Template in Captivate 4 but my preferences don't save. For example I set my text captions to Dislplay for Rest of Slide and No transition. When I create a project from Template those settings don't apply. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes this is happening to me as well...my preferences arent saved...wht the heck is it called a template for?
my custome toolbars and preloaders dont carry over either...
Adobe please respond and tell us what to do to fix this.
thanks.
Hi there
I tend to think about it like this. And it's quite literal.
Have you ever used a physical template? Stencils perhaps? Flowcharting Template?
Using these physical devices, did they provide everything you need? No they didn't. For example, you have to supply the paper the template is used upon. You also have to provide the pencil or pen. And the knowledge of how to construct the characters or insert the symbols.
I'm comparing the Captivate preferences to my paper color, size and weight choices and the pencil or pen choices.
This doesn't mean it will always be that way. If Adobe hears from enough folks about the issue of Captivate preferences not being tied to the template, they will do something about it. But that's entirely dependent upon how many folks submit the Wish Form and ask for it.
Cheers... Rick

Adobe reader freezws and closes when using pen

how do I correct adobe reader to stop closing and freezing when I use the pen?

Hi There,
Can you please confirm your operating system ? Do you have the full administrative rights ? Are you getting any error when trying to insert Web Object interaction ?
Would like to inform you Captivate 6 onwards interactions have been uploaded on server. Captivate pings this server on a regular basis, If there is any firewall or strict network policy then it might take some time to check the URL or might be result in crash or freeze.

My animated gif keeps pausing in captivate and flash

Hi guys, thanks for your help.
I made an animated gif in Photoshop CS4 and inserted it as an animation into captivate 6. The animation works (I played it several times by opening it with internet explorer and safari). But when I open it in Captivate the animation goes black for a split second-several times, before it reappears-several times. It gives it almost a "reloading" or pause look when I play it. The same in flash, but in Adobe Flash CS4 Professional the timeline shows black dots once in a while, as you can see in the screen shot below.
See those black dots? I will insert a picture of what happens, when the player lands on one of those black dots:
It's the same animation, but only shows a little. Like I said, it plays fine when I open it with an internet browser, it plays fine when I play it in photoshop, but it just won't work with flash or captivate.
Any thoughts? Thanks so much!! I really appreciate your help guys!
Nat

No problem. Building a simple animation in Flash isn't that bad. You could save each "frame" as an image from PhotoShop and then import these into Flash and place one frame at the time on a keyframe in the flash timeline (press F6 to insert a keyframe).
If you want your animation to loop then you don't have to do anything as this is the default behavior. If you want it to stop at the last frame you insert a command in ActionScript to stop it. Select the last keyframe and hit F9 and type stop() in the ActionScript window.
Good luck!

How do I create multiple TEBs with one submit button on one page in Captivate 7

I've read other posts on this topic (which refer primarily to earlier versions of Captivate) and am still at a loss as to how to put multiple text entry boxes on a page with one submit button. Here's my scenario:
I am creating test questions.
Each test question has multiple text entry boxes (for numbers only).
Student should be able to enter numbers into the textboxes in any order.
Then there is one Submit button that should initiate validating all the text entries, and move to a scoring page (so I can test it). (What would be best is if this button not only did the above, but also submitted scores to the LMS. But that is not my question at this time.)
I'd like this question to be set up as a template so that I can duplicate it, be able to add or delete text boxes and change the values required in the text boxes.
Here is an image of a sample question page with multiple TEBs. The yellow boxes tell the student where they need to enter text:
Any help or direction to help is appreciated!!

I think the problem here is that Arlhoolie wants all of the different TEBs to behave as if they were part of a single interaction that submits only ONE result to the quiz. Using multiple TEBs in Captivate means that you have multiple scored objects and therefore multiple results being submitted to the quiz.
If you want a single Success or Failure result submitted to the quiz based on the results from multiple interactive objects then there really is no simple way to do it. But you could try using the Infosemantics Interactive Master widget to combine all the TEBs as slave objects that report to the Master Widget, which then reports a single score to the quiz based on the results from the slave objects.
You can learn more about the Master widget here:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/interactive-master
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/interactivemaster/help
You can download a free trial version of the widget here:

One caveat you should be aware of is that this widget is not HTML5 compatible.

Is it possible to play two videos at the same time in Captivate 4

My idea is to create some e-learning material which shows a screencast of a powerpoint presentation and a video in the top left corner of the screen showing somebody presenting the slides.
Does anybody know if it is possible to do this with Captivate 4?
I know this functionality is provided in Adobe Director.
Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
Jay

Hi Jay
Do you have the eLearning Suite? If so, you have Adobe Presenter available to you. If you don't, you should be able to download the Presenter installation file and evaluate it.
Presenter is an add in for PowerPoint. The neat thing about it is that it provides for a Table of Contents type of functionality as you see is configured in Captivate. But the twist with that is you are able to do something you cannot do in Captivate. You are able to insert videos inside the TOC area!
Just musing out loud... Rick

Feature to disable touch screen when pen is detected is no longer available in windows 7

In N-trig drivers with windows vista there was an option where one could select the option to disable the touch input when pen in near the screen. That feature is no longer available when I installed new n-trig drivers in win7.
I use my tablet a lot to take notes. But with dual mode on it detects input where I rest my palm on the screen to write. Every time I have to go and disable touch input completely before I start writing and enable after I finish.
I there any way to enable auto mode with Windows 7 n-trig drivers?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thanks for your reply.
I talked about this with HP tech support and they don't know anything about it. I don't even know whether they are qualified enough to provide support. They were just blaming the problems on Microsoft and N-Trig. I knew the problem is with the drivers and I wanted them to let N-Trig know that people like us are waiting to the Auto feature. But instead of considering my complaint they hung up on me not once but twice.

LACK OF FULL PEN TOOL FUNCTIONALITY WHEN CREATING A SHAPE LAYER

Hello, I'm going through Chris Meyer's video course on being an AE apprentice and have spent over an hour on the following issue.
Here is what I know.
I know I am trying to create a shape layer, not a mask, to create a frame to surround the video of the green field on the attached screenshot. Therefore, I pressed "F2" to make sure I am doing so.
I want to define the borders of this picture frame by using the pen tool to draw a path on the layer entitled "Windy Peak".
I have highlighted that layer in my timeline.
This video was pasted on to a placeholder shape that I had created using Command Option "/" on my Mac.
I do have limited use of the pen tool, because it displays properly when I hover it above the borders of the video to be framed.
But I lack access to the toolbar controls I want to complete my assignment.
For example, I would like to create a gradient to define the internal coloration of this frame, but I have no use of the eyedropper when I click on the Color Picker.
Also, I am unable to access or manipulate any of the standard fill or stroke options for use of my pen.
This is what I know.
Thanks for your help! Matt
Message was edited by: Matt Dubuque to add the fact that the video had been pasted on to a placeholder shape image by pressing Command Option "/" on my Mac.

Thanks for pitching in Todd and Rick, I appreciate it very much.
As previously stated, I do have use of the pen tool, but it only has limited functionality as demonstrated by the path I created on the green meadow. My Tools Panel remains activated .
My core problem remains that I am unable to adjust the fill or stroke settings for my pen.
I have tried changing and resetting various work spaces and this has not helped.
I'm scratching my head here.

Pen-drive recovery from bitlocker

Hello , i secured my pen-drive with bit-locker and i forgot my password and lost my recovery key . I have a lot of important files in there , please help me recover it.

Hi,
Like Aaron said, sorry, but unless you remember your password, your data is unfortunately lost.
The entire point of encrypting your data is that no one but the holder of the password has access. If there where an easy way to bypass the encryption, there would not be much point to it.

Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

Hi,
Do you see the issue every time you close captivate or is it only in some scenarios? Does it show any error messages? What captivate version are you using (64 bit or 32 bit)? Can you provide some more information or screenshots which can help us reproduce the issue.

Twitter widget in Captivate 7 not working

I am using Captivate 7 to add the twitter widget to a course. I can publish it with no problem, however, it won't allow me to generate a pin. . When I click on the button "Generate PIN" it comes back with a message: "To disable twitter functionality, close window. To enable it, click Generate Pin". When I click it again nothing happens. When I click the red X to close the window, the course continues without the twitter widget.
I am not using preview. All files are published to a server.
I am using Windows
I tried Chrome and IE11

Adobe Captivate 6 in Windows XP is working very slow

I am working from a remote location. I have Captivate 6 installed on my machine which Has OS Windows XP. When I record the slides and click end, the Creating Slides pop-up window appears and it takes more than 2 hours to create the slides(even 2-3 slides). when the Captivate project finally opens up, it hangs frequently and I cannot work. Even saving the Project takes an hour or so. Please help me understand why is the software working so slow? Is it not compatible with the OS?

You mention you are working from a remote location. Does this mean that you are trying to work on a Captivate project file that is NOT saved to your local hard drive before you open it?
If so, then that is where your problem lies. Never work on project files stored somewhere on a network. Always copy the working file to your local drive before opening, and always close the file in Captivate before copying it back up to the storage location.

Adobe Captivate Flash Buttons in Moodle

I am using flash SWF files to control Captivate Course in Moodle and I have trouble with CLOSE pop up window flash button. It works in IE and FIrefox but not in Chrome and OPERA when course is opened via Moodle. I have created simple html page with link that opens pop up window containing the same course and this way the button works in all browsers. ????? Again, in MOOdle it doesn't.
In Chrome Developer Tools I have tracked this error when clicking on close pop up window flash buttom: Ignoring cross-frame javascript URL load requested by plugin.
The button itself is using this AS3:
pbcExit_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myBtnClicked);
function myBtnClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()"), "_parent");
Does anyone have a clue what is the problem?
Thank you,
