Create a software simulation environment

Captivate captures screens, you click interactions. How you create a simulation that mirrors closely as possible to the real software environment? Menus, text fields, check boxes are all selectable and it assesses you if you click on the right thing or enter the text to the right.

Is this possible?

Thank you

You need to capture the menus separately (probably using something like SnagIT) and then place them on your slides Captivate enabled by the passage of the mouse.  There are two ways to pull this off.

One way is to have the menu to capture images set up as an image rollover objects.  But they are not clickable objects.  If it doesn't work really well

The opposite is much more complex, but at least it works.  You must use the event handler from the slide widgets that detect events rollover on boxes hidden nail placed within the scope of the areas where the menus are activated.  The event handler will then the user to another slide that shows the drop in open position.  On this slide you rollover image objects placed on top of the drop-down list so that roll on the drop-down menu options triggers images to appear which resemble States of bearing of each menu item.  Then you have these images accompanying several widgets event handler that are set to listen to the mouse events click on these images of the flight path.  When you click on it, each separate menu item will then the user to still other slides that reflect what they would see in the app if they chose these options.

You get the idea?

  • Impossible to hide objects in software simulation

    I create a software Simulation - demo (in Captivate 9). Originally, I tried to hide the mouse on some slides (but show on others). I clicked on the icon from 'hide' in the timeline panel. It worked for me, for all the other projects I've done so far, to date. At first, I thought it was just a question mouse (because it has a slightly different behavior than other objects), but I tried to hide objects on my slide (legends, boxes of highlight, etc.), and Captivate seems to ignore the option "hide" for those as well.

    This is the parameter hide that I refer:

    hidden.PNG

    So far, I tried to save before preview, Captivate, restarted my computer, asking the help of Adobe.

    I want to emphasize: deleting the object of the mouse works (obviously). However, as I am always showing the mouse on the other slides, I would that these slides to have the movement of the mouse rely on the previous slide, which is not the case if I'm the Remove (the mouse starts from the upper left corner instead of the end position of the previous slide) so I would hide it instead of delete so that positions persist throughout the slide.

    The usual confusion!  Sorry for this exclamation, it is is not improved with the new user interface, because now this symbol of the eye is used for more than one use.

    There is a big difference between:

    1. Hide on the stage for the edition of the reasons: that's what makes the eye button in the timeline panel. This has no effect on the visibility of these objects when you preview or after publication.
    2. Hiding in the OUTPUT, this is what you need. In versions prior to 8, this was done by checking a box that says clearly that the object could not be visible in output. CP8 and 9 you must search another button look in the properties panel, the top of the page to the left.
    3. To increase the confusion: this same button eye also exist in the slid Panel &: here, it is intended to hide the links between sources of drag and target objects, has no effect on production, because these links are never visible output.
  • Themes with software Simulations

    I created a theme in Captivate 8 for projects that I put together for the work.  I'm still essentially show Captivate myself, so I'm kinda stuck right now.  I created a software simulation (demo only).  I have all the slides exhibited the demo with regard to highlight boxes, captions, etc.  I basically want to take slide intro and conclusion of my theme/template and insert them into the simulation of software, but I can't understand how do without having to basically build slides from scratch once again.  Also, I used a free theme and tweaked to create one I want to use.  Ideas/suggestions?  Thank you!

    Glad we finally settled it. There is a lot that is not well explained or even not mentioned in the help documentation. I find mostly by trial and error and learned something of this thread. It is always marked unanswered. In case anyone else is looking for a solution to a similar problem, it is a good summary:

    When you create a custom theme, which should be used for courses that include slides of simulation software, never remove the master slide empty. That the master is used by the slides of the software simulation, it does not show the default master slide objects. If there is a background in the main slide, it is not used but replaced by the background that is captured. You will see that "project background" is checked, and the backgrounds captured are numbered and are in the library.

  • General issues (iFilter, .syf and EM simulation environment)

    Hello!

    I have a few general questions, ranging from corresponding EM simulation symbol creation and design of network environment. I would be really grateful if someone could take some time to respond to these in as much detail as possible.

    (1) I use iMatch Wizard in iFilter to design the matching network of entry for the LNA and PA. But I noticed that I get the best correspondent for the LNA (verified by Zin measurement at the source of the device with the included matching network) when I do the correspondence for the combined impedance. However, in the case of the PA, this happens only if I design the network with the correct impedance and not its complex conjugate. Anyone know why this is the case? Or by popular practice, in which case the combined complex should be used for the corresponding network design?

    (2) how can I create my own .syf file to be used as a symbol for a system I design? If I have the .syf how do I appear in my list of existing library of symbols?

    (3) in the EM simulation environment, how to decide the spacing of the grid? Yet once, EMsight I cannot add ports in the structure of Employment, if the structure is not aligned with the grid. How to manage the grid alignment so that the ports are attached without worries? Also, in the EM structure is an available at the entrance x and is coordinated to a partciular shape/structure so that it will sit in the coordinates and will allow me to build the forms around him?

    I apologize for the length of the questions but get these deleted will help a lot!

    Thanks in advance!

    1. it is the plug.  You are probably using the gamma to the research in the output in the design of LNA (so your load must be combined), but using the desired gamma (manufacturer?) load design PA

    2. up to the v11, it's probably easier to just import the .syf in each project where you want to use: project > Circuit symbols > import symbol.  In v11, just help > show files/directories... > AppDataUser, create a folder named symbols and empty the file .syf in there.

    3 EMSight is ideal for the subset of the problems to which it applies, but otherwise it's pretty restrictive.  The ports must be on the limit, either on the walls or up/down drivers.  The latter requires a via, which does not incorporate to turn off automatically. etc.

    X and are grid sizes are defined in the enclosure.  When you draw, you can press the tab key to enter the coordinates manually.  However, I recommend that you check the mesh on the structure of your EM before you simulate to make sure that you are not shorting adjacent shapes, or decompose adjacent metal.  Download AXIEM, it blows EMSight out of the water.

  • When you add a software simulation of a project through the "slides" the red box button record is not resized.

    Created a ppt project and want to add a software simulation as I have in the latest versions of Captivate.  But today the record red box will not resize enough great for my capture software. He suggested monitors duel was a problem, tried to disconnect and the problem remains.  All of the suggestions.

    It is attached to the resolution of the current project, you can not choose

    another resolution. Only for a new simulation of the project be registered you

    will be able to change the resolution. With the key slides that you insert

    blades in an existing project.

  • Convert a video demo in an interactive software simulation

    I recently created a video demo of long hours of a function of demand, which I cut up into convenient bitesized pieces. It took me forever...

    It was created with love and sure for what is said in the brief, I was given - but my memory has been mysteriously changed, and an interactive software simulation has therefore been requested. GRrrrrrrrrrr!

    I have a white fully draw on it, but is possible to convert a video demo in an interactive software simulation? It may be obvious, I can be stupid, or maybe there's not a way to do it at all, but any advice on this would be greatly received!

    No, Brendan, I'm sorry. An interactive software simulation will be a cptx project, while the video demonstration is a project of cpvc. You can use the storyboard, assets may be static if you added to the demo video, or using a part of the VO if you had them.

    A software simulation in Captivate is based on leaves, not video. You may want to use small pieces of the video when necessary. An example: to replace the blades FMR which are inserted automatically when you use scrolling or dragging in the simulation. Due to their poor quality, I mostly replace it with CPVC-slides, that you can create from our project cpvc and insert into the project main cptx.

  • SIT: Settings of Inline of Matlab: Simulation Environment & remote target

    Hi all

    When I inline in a Simulink model parameters, and when I run it in the SIT Simulation environment, it's as if they would not have been treated in inline mode. Each block of the model appears.

    And when I try to launch it on a remote target (PXI-RT controller), the blocks that interest me are present, the constants that I put in the workspace are disappearing.

    Any suggestion, please? : PEI

    Thank you

  • Software Simulation, default object Styles?

    I use Cap 9. Try out the features of the software simulation. Is it possible to apply a style to text objects that Captivate automatically adds the screens?

    I can't call them the text captions because they are not individual objects in the timeline panel. So far, they seem to be grouped into a single object that I can move individually and manually resize (required every time!). Be able to apply a style that would allow them to save a lot of work.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Are you sure these are legends, not forms? Because the two objects can be selected in preferences, check, default values. At this place, you will find also all the default styles for the registration of the software simulations. And you can easily navigate to the Style Manager object.

    If you want to change the style after the capture, you change to a legend (or form), then use the button of menu hamburger (top-right with three horizontal lines) where you can apply the changes to the existing style.

  • How we prevent stop video capture on the software simulation mode

    Hi all

    I recorded a video of my software, a non-interactive tutorial ( software simulation mode and record mode: demo).

    My software has a debug window showing the values that change frequently.

    In my video, I would record this debug window and do some action on it (this window has a toolbar).

    Captivate correctly save the pointer of the mouse but when i, e.g. clicking a button of toolbar, Captivate adds a legend of text (rightly) but the video stops (the values on my watch freeze).

    How can I stop this behavior?

    Thanks in advance

    You can add static images in a video demo as well. Take a look at this (old) example that was performed using only the demo video:

    Simple to advanced standard Action in Adobe Captivate - YouTube

    Often, I will replace the 'old' FMR slides, still not well displayed in the HTML output by slides CPVC (short video slideshow). I stop recording software, in the project cptx choose the big button "Slides" insert a slide of demo, the recorder is opened and I save the CPVC slide. When you are finished, you can insert with the same touch of Simulation software slides etc. Advantage: you can open the editor video demo of each slide CPVC. Pan/zoom have a much better quality you can achieve with the workflow software sim.

  • Software Simulation lines random question on slides

    I work in Captivate 9 and I have a few slides in my project which are software simulation slides.  I used the slide button to start the software simulation.  When I saw my software simulation in Captivate in HTML5, it looks great.  When I post for others to look at the ReviewMyElearning, there are random lines that go through the slides.  I tried recording on different browsers and even on another computer, and nothing has worked.  These lines went away after I re-recorded, but are back once again after I cleared my cache for an unrelated question.   These lines randomly through the slides of simulation are only on the last few slides, and are in the same place on each of the relevant slides.

    Help please!

    You can check the preferences of project size and quality settings? Don't forget to uncheck the option "Advanced project Compression" and the "compress SWF file. Then publish again and check if the problem is still there.

  • Video objects in software simulations

    I recorded a software simulation, and then a video demo separately. I published the demonstration video on the spot. I tried to upload this video as a "video object" in my software simulation. When I try to playback, the "video" object is right there. Is there some magical setting I'm missing to make it work?


    Thank you in advance!

    I just thought about it: there is an 'Auto Play' box that should be checked.

  • Create a demo / simulation within a project of presentation

    I'm just starting to use 8 Captivate. In previous versions, I was able to insert a demo / simulation while I was building a presentation by simply click on a little red button which is not in version 8. I tried to do it in the menu file, but making it in another project, not where I need it in my presentation. It is no longer possible?

    Only way now is to use the big button slides, software Simulation. Sorry for the change of the user interface, should be easier, but is not always the case. It is missing from the Insert menu.

  • Reagent blank screen software simulation - video .swf - during the published/Preview in browser

    Captivate 8.0.1.242 - Windows 7 64 bit

    I add a software simulation to my sensitive journey and I have few places where I drag and drop things. Captivate quickly added the drag and drop as transparent with video of him. The video format is swf. Now, all right until I have preview/publish. This is when the screen is blank and white. It is as if the slide work and when its time to move to the next slide, he does. All other slides is displayed correctly.

    Is this some kind of a compatibility problem with swf video and HTML5?

    I found a 2 year old post: help, videos play more after the publication

    But I don't know how the answers are for videos to swf format and also with the current version of captivate I use as these responses were to capture 6.

    Quick way, no. I always replace FMR slides video demo, but which is more

    work.

  • Cut sections of a software simulation Captivate 7

    I am VERY new to Captivate...

    I have a software simulation which I'm currently editing. I need to cut portions of a clip where the trainer screwed up. I find a way to cut the audio but cannot figure out how to cut the section of the real item. Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    The slides you are here are normal, static slides. A FMR slide looks like this in the timeline:

    You can shorten a calendar on static slides, moving forward and backward delays. I see in this example that the clip is just beginning after 2 minutes! The text of the legend of the mouse object and select button also appear later. Select these 4 objects and drag them to the beginning of the slide (you can also use the accordion calendar if you want). Then you will be able to shorten the slide itself to the duration of the audio clip.

    Little old, but for the most part (except colors maybe in the screenshots) still valid advice: small timeline Tidbits - Captivate blog

    Timeline is the "core" of Captivate, try first to explore this Panel!
