Adobe Captivate Advanced - 8 Actions trigger an event after that audio connected to a button has finished playing

Hi all.  I use Adobe Captivate 8 on Windows.  I have a slide that has 2 buttons.  The buttons are placed in advanced actions, when you click on it to play an audio file and display the text, and then set the variable key 1, clicked.  The button are similar functions and can be clicked in any order.  When you click on the two buttons, I need to read an audio of conclusion.

My problem is that once the second button is clicked, select what action starts immediately, as the two buttons were clicked and the condition is now filled.  I need to finish reading the audio second-clicked the button before she turns to the next action, and no matter what I try it doesn't work!  Major frustration!  If you need me to post any screen shots, please let me know.  Thanks in advance,

Mike

You must use conditional Actions, not simple actions.  With a Standard action or conditional button does not automatically frees the timeline AFTER it has been clicked.

You must also configure the tracking variables so that your conditional Action will be able to determine whether or not the two buttons were clicked and that's why the audio file should be placed accordingly.

Take a look at this tutorial on creating dynamic menu slides:

The basics are really quite the same.

  • How to trigger an event after that symbol completed movie?

    Hello

    I tried to understand this without success.

    On the stage, I have a button and a hidden symbol. The symbol has an animation within itself.

    When I click the button, the symbol becomes visible and plays the animation. Its all good so far.

    That's what I'm trying to accomplish:

    I want to be able to click on the visible symbol now animation within itself plays in the opposite direction, and then he hides.

    How to do it to hide after animation backwards reading?

    ==================================================================================

    CODE of the BUTTON (this works for me):

    SYM.$("AnimationOne"). Show();

    var AnimOne = sym.getSymbol ("AnimationOne");

    AnimOne.play (0);

    CODE SYMBOL (this will hide after the end of the animation):

    var AnimOne = sym.getSymbol ("AnimationOne");

    AnimOne.playReverse ();

    SYM.$("AnimationOne"). Hide(); If I add to this, it hides just without animation in reverse

    ==================================================================================

    Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

    I have a few buttons on the main timeline, each control an animation within a symbol. Because the keys and symbols are on a single image I can't use the labels on the main timeline.

    I figured out how do it without needing labels or change my layout.

    MY SOLUTION:

    var AnimOne = sym.getSymbol ("AnimationOne");

    var AnimOneHide = sym.$("AnimationOne").delay (500) .hide (100); The time delay should be tailored based on the length of the animation in the symbol. Calendar to hide should be short.

    AnimOne.playReverse (AnimOneHide);

    Hope this helps someone!

  • Adobe Captivate Advanced button Actions shows clicks

    Hello

    I have a question about advanced Actions.

    I have two buttons.

    When I click a button it should disappear.

    After I clicked on the two buttons a third button is displayed.

    How can I do that.

    When I try the third button appears when I click on one of the two buttons and not after I clicked on both.

    Here´s advanced action I have for one of the two buttons that must disappear:

    __________________________________________

    Assign [variable_button1] with 1

    disappear [button1]

    Then a related action:

    IF

    [variable_button1 = 1

    [variable_button2] = 1

    ACTION

    Show Button3

    ON THE OTHER

    Break

    ____________________________________________

    I m sorry if there is something is not right. I have found no translation from German to English in adobe Captivate.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Kind regards

    Alex

    I suspected this to be the case. No, all shares advanced/shared in Captivate are event-driven. The conditional action will never be executed. I have a lot of examples on my blog for this use case, but post-it (yet) in this thread. BTW: I understand German (I'm Flemish) but do not dare to write in German.

    In a conditional action, you can have several decisions, which are all executed in the order: orders are from top to bottom, are decisions from the left to the humble. You will need to integrate the standard and the conditional action in a conditional action to be triggered by the buttons. Now that you have only one decision (indicated as "Unnamed" and choice in your screenshot), this decision should be the second decision. You don't need to put anything in the ELSE part, but I still don't know the break of the buttons, reason why I asked for a screenshot of the timeline. Your conditional action should look like this (sorry for the English terminology).

    The decision to "Always" 1 I like to cite the decisions and everything in my projects

    IF 1 is equal to 1

    Assign the v_button1 with 1

    Disable Button1

    Hide Button1

    See the Group1

    No Else part for this decision, you must edit the double button 2

    Decision 2 "CheckIt".

    IF v_button1 is equal to 1 AND

    v_button2 is equal to 1

    See the Bt_Next

    Select Bt_Next

    Joint actions are not possible because the variables are used in the two decisiobns.

    There are no other open programs, the file is not already open.  I guess I'm screwed & spend 2 days to redo the work I just do.  Fortunately, I have a backup, but a backup that does not include about 16 hours of changes.  This has always been a fragile product and I had hoped that Captivate 5 which had improved, but I do not.

  • Hide advanced action does not work after that triggered the effect

    I have a pretty simple step action that does the following:

    Hide banner

    Apply motion effect to 3 SmartShape from right to left

    Cache: SmartShape3


    SmartShape 3 is essentially half a rectangle rounded, which acts as a banner with text. At the beginning of the slide, it is hidden and sitting almost out of the scene. When you click a button, it does the following:

    See the banner

    Show: SmartShape3

    Applies the effect of movement from left to right to SmartShape

    This gives the illusion that it slides in from the left. The reason why I had it sat a little on the scene at the beginning, is that the effect is slow, so this makes it speed up as it has less distance to travel.

    The idea is the action above in blue is triggered and the banner slide from the left on the stage. Another button is pressed and the Red action is triggered sliding off the stage. But once the motion effect has been run, it does not seem to hide, leave the end of the rounded rectangle visible on the stage.

    I tried to adjust the break lines in the buttons that trigger these actions further pushing them to the bottom of the timeline, but it has no effect. I actually expected to start the path and then hide the shape so fast, that you wouldn't see in fact a large part of the effect as when stocks advanced spear they are super fast.

    Am I missing something or is this just a limitation with effects using advanced Actions?

    You have a misunderstanding about the actions. All orders in a fast action are executed in sequence, but immediately. The effects also have a duration, you don't say how long you have applied.  Can you post a screenshot of the timeline? Have you checked the length of the path, is it enough? You do this using the same temporal effects. BTW, I often apply such an effect using micronavigation instead of applying it. In my last blog, you can see an example:

  • Adobe Captivate v5 - displays an object on a slide that shouldn't be there. How can I get rid of him?

    I created a project and a particular slide in the project, an object is the display that is not part of the background has not been added to the slide. I tried all the different workaround solutions but cannot get rid of it. Help, please.

    If you see the object in the vignettes in the film strip, maybe check the model of slides?

    If all slides in the film strip do not show the subject, look at the slide where it appears, and then look at the calendar for the object. It can be configured for the "rest of project".

  • Is there an add-on for Adobe Captivate that allows the word to the text?

    So, I finished my first e-Learning and the customer is happy. They asked:

    (1) can as well an audio version and no sound be downloaded onto a CD?

    (2) can the script be face-to-face facilitation in option. ?

    Well, I did not use a script written for each slide. Is there a tool would you recommend to create the text of the speech?

    Thank you!

    Thank you. I actually ended up using Google Doc w / voice / dictation option. I did the following:

    1. export the audio from Adobe Captivate

    2. set again my sound of "Virtual Audio Cable" settings so that the audio has been accepted by the computer MIc

    3 clip dictated in Google Doc

    There is also a new Google Doc add-on which makes speech text even better that the native Google voice type

  • How to I raise an event based on the State of a button?

    I'm trying to trigger an event based on the State ON / OFF button.  When I click on the button, I want the structure of the event in a loop to trigger each iteration until the button goes back to the OFF position, manually or programmatically.  Is there an easy way to do this?

    Thank you very much.

    A structure of the event is absolutely necessary?  It's so simple with just a case structure, as shown in figure 1.  If you use a structure of the event, you can place the structure dealing with the push button inside the time-out event, as shown in Figure 2.

  • Slides advance automatically in Adobe Captivate 8

    I have a lot of clickboxes on a slide. I'm also using a very small in the lower corner with the option ' break up to what the user clicks "checked so that blades don't not progress automatically... The rest of the click boxes do not have this option checked. However if the user clicks more than 3 clickboxes the slide advances automatically after a few seconds. How can I stop this from happening?

    On the first screen shot is an example of the clickboxes the user is meant to click on.

    On the second screen are the properties of the box click on in the lower right corner. It is supposed to stop the slides to advance automatically.

    Please, could you post a screenshot of the timeline? How is the action of success for click that are not correct areas implemented? It has no action? Is that the 'blue' message the legend of success for these boxes click not correct? You can keep the break for all the boxes to click, but at the same time. Not needing an extra click on the area to achieve this goal.

    Because you do not Captivate 9, you don't have the option "Continue playing the project" at all. If you want to stop the playhead to continue, you should normally have to use standard measures for click boxes. Take a look on:

Many of these slides can click to display the advanced type of interactions.  When I copy and paste slides in a new project, advanced interactions do not seem to copy.  Does anyone know how to copy and paste slides into a new project and interaction advanced so that I don't have to recreate the variables and interactions?   I tried the following Adobe Captivate help, but I lost.

  • Adobe Captivate file size

    I have a two part question. I work with Adobe Captivate for the first time, so I am of course a lot of rookie, errors, and now I'm stuck.

    I have a project that is 122 229 KB, and when publishing to LMS, is 63 900 KB. I made sure all the graphics are as small as possible, but it still takes a long time to load when you access through the LMS. My first question is, what is the size of ideal file for the publication of LMS? If necessary, I may have to divide my presentation in several modules so that they are more easily, but I'm curious to know if there is an easier way to address the issue before it split.

    My second part of the question: is there a way to tell Captivate to begin play the webinar when it loads? When I tested, it took about 2 minutes to load the file that in the world of technology online, it's an eternity. I hope there's a way to tell him to start playing the video during the rest of the presentation the loading in the background.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Kristen

    Hello Kristen,

    Welcome to the forums. For your last question: you can reduce the Preloader % in Preferences, project, start & end. Its default value is 100%, which means that the entire project is loaded before playing. Also: avoid having a heavy slide first, no audio action, not complicated, etc..

    There is no ideal real file size, because it depends on many factors. Keep the resolution as low as possible, I mean the size in pixels. You talk about graphics: what type of graphics do you use. If you're on the CP9, he agrees to SVG which, in most cases, have smaller file than bitmap images. But it's not only the graphics that define the size of the file: as the number of slides, images, audio and video clips.
