Slides not advancing

I imported slides from PP and checked the advance automatically button. Some do, some don't. Those with text animation seem to be the problem...they stop. What do I need to do to fix that?

Hi there
When you import (assuming Mac is similar or same to PC version here) on the import dialog is an option that governs how slides advance. Look at the one below:
You need to ensure that the option shown above is selected.

Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?

Hi,
I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool. The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens. You can't get off the quiz slide. The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
Thanks!
Lori

I was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
I can finally finish this project.
Good luck.

Multiple text boxes on slide not advancing properly

First let me say that this is my very first post - ever - anywhere. I don't even know if I'm 'posting' correctly, so please forgive me if I'm doing this wrong. I am brand new to Captivate (1 week), but am already under a work deadline to produce a CBL. I have built a very simple CBL and it works fine except for 1 problem. My CBL moves forward on its own, but if the user decides to click the 'forward' button on the navigation bar, it advances to the next slide instead of displaying the next text box within the current slide. I want to keep the navigation bar for those who read more quickly than others, this way they can advance the CBL at their own pace. For example, I have a slide with 3 text boxes. Each text box needs to be read in order. The first box appears and after so many seconds the first box disappears and the second box appears. Then the second box stays for so many seconds and disappears and the third box appears for so many seconds and then it advances to the next slide. However, after it's published, the first box appears and if you click the 'forward' button then it goes to the next slide (not the second text box on the current slide). I know there must be an easy solution to this and if I had the time to read more tutorials before my deadline, I'm sure it's listed in one of them. I would appreciate any help you can give me and again, I apologize if I've posted this in the wrong section or did not post this correctly. Thanks so much!

Hello,
Welcome on the forum.
The Next button on the playbar will always go to the next slide (or the previous slide for the Previous button).
If you really want a simple solution: put only one Text Caption per slide, time the slide for the duration of reading that Text Caption. To simulate your present situation, if you have 3 Text captions, put the first one on slide 1, copy it to slide 2 and add the second Text caption, etc. The 'quick' readers can use the button on the playbar to advance but they will be able to see all the Text Captions. Do hope this explanation makes sense: you are really splitting up your unique slide with 3 Text Captions in 3 slides.

Slide not advancing when linking to URL

Seems I get past one roadblock and find another...
I have a link to a URL (which is now working
) that opens in a new window. I have the clickbox set
up with the URL and New is checked, as is Continue Playing Project.
On the Options tab I only have Show Hand Cursor and Pause Project
selected. The slide Navigation is set to Go to Next Slide. When you
click the checkbox, obviously I want the URL to display, which it
does in a new window. But I also want the slide to go to the next
slide so that when the new window is closed, the slide has
advanced. Here's what happens - the first time I click the link,
the window opens and the URL displays, but the slide does not
advance. If I close the window and click the link a
second time, the new window opens and displays the URL
and the slide advances the way I want it too. Why does it
work the second time and not the first?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Hi there tvipsm
What other objects are on the slide? It's quite possible that
another object is pausing the slide after you click.

How can I make slides NOT advance automatically?

I'm building a project manually by making new slides and putting graphics and text on them. It's not a recording of software. I would like the user to read each slide for as long as they want to, then click to go to the next one. I can't find a setting for this.
I tried setting the default slide duration to 300 sec. Which sort of works, but every element I add to a slide still defaults to 3 sec so I have to change each element seperately. Not practical at all. ideas?

Hi, I'm also having a slide advancing problem using CP8. I have three smart shapes used as buttons on the screen. After each is clicked, a prompt to click Next (in the playbar) shows. I have a click box after the prompt to stop the screen from advancing. This works fine if I only click the items once. If I click them again, the screen advances.
I tried adding an additional smart shape. If I clicked two of the items again, the screen advances.
I need a slight delay before the prompt shows and an effect on the prompt, so I can't just set the Advanced Actions to pause.
Here are some screen caps of my course...
Slide properties and Timeline
Advanced actions of smart shapes....
Properties for Click Box and Smart Shape that "pause" the slide
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to send this out ASAP.

Question slide not advancing on click to continue

I have only one question slide out of 6 and it is a
true/false question. When answered the user clicks submit and the
correct success caption appears and it indicates click anywhere to
continue. The slide doesn't continue when you click on the slide.
When you click the success caption disappears but then you have to
click submit again, the success caption appears, you click anywere
and then the slide continues. I have this slide set the same way as
other true/false slides but it does not function the same way. Why
is it doing this?

Hi,
Please try it by changing the 'on correct answer' setting to 'jump to next slide'.
Thanks

IDVD does not advance slides in preview

I created a slideshow in iDVD on my PowerMac. When imported into my new MacBook Pro, the slides appear fine in editing mode, but when previewed, the slides do not advance, though the audio track plays. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I created a slideshow in iDVD on my PowerMac. When
imported into my new MacBook Pro, the slides appear

do not advance, though the audio track plays. Any
suggestions would be much appreciated.
Do you mean you created an iDVD project, an iDVD project archieve, a disk image, or burned a DVD using your PowerMac?
Really, the ONLY way to move an iDVD project from one computer to another is via the iDVD archieve project method. Both computers should have the same version of iDVD. The reason? Only the iDVD project archive contains all the 'raw' elements that went into, and are necessary to recreate, the project.

Slide will not advance with audio

I have Captivate 7 I have power point imported in captivate with a premade audio track I have set all the slide advance points but there is one slide no matter what I do when previewing the project it will not advance but if I hit the forward button on the screen it will continue to play the remainder of the way through.Captiv8r

Hi again
Are you able to share your project so someone could see it first hand? Note that I'm not referring to the output file, I'm referring to the source .CP file.

PPT slides will not advance on their own, pausing automatically in Captivate 6 import

So frustrating, This was working around 8 pm lst nite, then all of a sudden the slides will not advance on their own. I've read several posts and tried most. I've unchecked the compression settings in Captivate 6, made sure I have the patch, I uninstalled 6 and tried using 5.5, then reinstalled 6 with the patch update. I've used Continue on enter and Go to next slide on Exit. NOTHING WORKS! and I need this by noon! what am I doing wrong!! This is Powerpoint 2007 slideshow with animation but no slide transitions going into Captivate 6. Please help I hvave 4 more to do this week by Wednesday.

Hi,
Can you check this in your PowerPoint.
Go to a slide select the object(s) that has animation applied, go to Animation tab and check if the animation is timed to appear ON CLICK with the Slide, that property would not migrate, you should change the drop down to With Previous .
Repeat this for all the animations. Go to Captivate library, if the Presentation is linked you can update it (if it is not linked switch to link from embed)
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and Slideshow in iPhoto stopped working (stays on first slide; will not advance)

Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and Slideshow in iPhoto stopped working (stays on first slide; will not advance)

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database followed by Option #1 to reapair permissions if #4 doesn't help.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If still not working log into another user account on your Mac and try a slideshow from there. If it works there then the problem is limited to your account. If it fails there it's system wide and may require a reinstall of iPhoto or the system.

Submit button in Cap 7 quiz does not advance learner to next quiz slide

I created a 5 question MC quiz in Cap 7. When I take the quiz in the preview mode, I am able to advance to the next slide by clicking on the submit button. Well, when I click on the submit button, a pop up appears that says: Correct - click anywhere or press 'y' to continue. Once I click anywhere, *then* I am taken to the next question.
However, when I take the quiz in a web browser, I cannot advance to the next slide, even when I answer the question correctly. I click the submit button. The same pop up appears as in the preview mode: Correct - click anywhere or press 'y' to continue. So, I click anywhere but nothing happens. The slide does not advance.
I've created a few quizzes before in Cap 7 using the same settings so I was stumped when the quiz didn't work this time. Maybe I accidentally changed a setting??

The jump to slide works great. Yes, the user goes right back to the quiz after remediation. The user can then change her answer and click submit. However, she can not advance forward. Sigh.
I am a freelancer who inherited the template from the former freelancer. I was told to use her template to create the trainings. So I am. I was supposed to use all the settings she used, too. That's why the Required is set to: User must answer every question'
I can try your idea and the Requirements in the settings.
What's odd, though, is that I've developed a Quiz using these same exact settings and it worked perfectly. That's why it's odd that the Quiz is no longer working correctly.
Okay, let me try to change the Required settings.
By the way, the submit button works fine in the Preview mode, just not the Web Browser mode.

Is there anyway to publish each slide build in Captivate 5.5 to a word doc with slide notes?

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.

Question slides auto advancing prior to an answer being selected

Hi-
I have searched the postings and cannot find anything similar to what I am experiencing.
This only happens once the user has gone through the quiz once and has failed. The passing grade is a 100%, so the chances of someone needing to re-take the quiz is rather high. What happens is when the user gets to say question 3 or so, after about 10 to 15 seconds, the slide auto advances to the next question and does not allow the user to go back and answer the question. Then on the next question it will not allow the user to select an answer.
This does not happen the first time through the quiz, only the second time through.
Has anyone else experienced this before? Any ideas of what setting I have wrong? I have all of my question sides set up the same; I have T/F and M/C.
I am using Captivate 4 (with all updates) and running the quiz through GeoLearining (our LMS).
HELP!
Thanks,
Michelle

Just a note...I have checked the timing in the playbar and it is the same for all questions and it happens on question 1 and question 9 as far as I can tell. I am not able to see how these questions are set up any differently than the other quesitons in the quiz. There are only 15 questions total in this program and a total of 20 slides.

Random question slide not shown when FP 8 or FP 9 output

Hi everyone
I've just begun to use Captivate a month ago, so it is not
that much experience I can contribute with by now.
One thing I have recognized is that I get some problems with
random questions slides made from different question pools when
using Flash Player 8 or 9 in the output otions.
When using Flash Player 7 everything works as supposed: one
random question is shown for every random question slide using one
distinct question pool for each random question slide.
When using one of the two others some of my random question
slides are not shown. There are slides that are played - meaning
that the player shows an empty slide for the time of 3 seconds -
but the content is not shown. This happens only for some of the
random question slides, and those are the same question slides each
time, I publish - but when working or dragging around with the
random question slides and publish again, the problem would come
with some other random question slides, not positioned the same
place as before, but showing the same problem in each published
version.
As written before each question pool is only used once. The
different question slides used in the question pools are all
duplicates, naturally with adjusted content.
Does anyone has experienced something like that before? Could
there be any other trouble with the content when using Flash Player
7 in the output options, like quiz not playing in newly updated
Flash Players ore something like that? Anything?
I appreciate your suggestions or comments! Thanks in advance
and kind regards,
Lars

Some more info - and a working solution...
I have worked on this topic a bit more - and found out, that
I have a problem with output option set to Flash Player 7, too.
When I delete every other navigation option than the "next
question" (what is it called in english?) button, I get this
problem:
The quiz now "freezes" randomly, not every time, but again
and again. The quiz has both random slides from question pools and
simple question slides.
I have found out, that putting the simple question slides
into question pools and then showing a random slide from those
question pools fixes the problem.
Has anyone experienced problems like that? Other solutions?
Kind regards
Lars
Maybe someone has a similar problem.

The photos in a slideshow do not advance automatically. What can I do to fix it?

I have created a slideshow but the photos do not advance automatically after 3 seconds. What can I do to fix it?

Which version of iPhoto are you using?
If it is iPhoto 9.6, what are your settings for the slideshow settings > This slide > Play this slide for ....?
You may have set the duration for one slide much longer than the 3 seconds.
The "All Slides" setting for "Play each slide for a minimum ....." will not override the minimum duration set for the individual slides.
