Customize smart shape - adobe captivate 9

Hello.

I read the Adobe captivate user guide 9.  He mentioned that we can custom active forms. When I check in adobe captivate 9, the list does not give me the ability to customize forms. This feature is always available?

I noticed that there are a lot of mistakes in the user guide. There are a lot of instructions that are not updated and applies to older versions of captivate.

Thank you

Help documentation is (at least) very incomplete and not up-to-date in many pages.

What you want to customize? You can convert a free form of each shape and edit points. If it is not free, many forms have yellow dots to make a first edition in the form. You can style a form with the properties panel. It can be both functional and a container of text and a button. It has 3 States, and unlike old buttons, you can change the label of each State. Take a look at this article, where you will see custom forms (style).

    Looks like a text input box object is a break from the slide at about 1.9 seconds?

  • Captivate 7 change the smart shape on score button image?

    I know that Captivate 6 does not support changing the image of the smart shape to the overview button.  Captivate 7 does it take?

    I forgot to test this on my trial prior to its expiration.

    To build on the response to Lilybiri, I think that my desire for buttons have three States (high, low) is driven by what I see in other applications on the web apps and installed locally.  All the buttons tend to have three States.

    It would be very happy to be able to customize these three States, just as we can with the current buttons.

  • Adobe Captivate Widgets prevent the timeline stops.

    I noticed a problem with Adobe Captivate Widgets after the Flash play updated to 20.0.0.286. Captivate bars 8.0 and 9.0, Adobe Captivate Widget (and customer bars) prevent the timeline to play and objects on the timeline do not appear on the scene (slide).

    Is there a fix for widgets? If there is no solution, which is a workaround for a widget reading/navigation bar?

    I don't know if there is an easy solution for widgets that do not work with Flash 20 but if it turns that there is no solution, then the solution will be to create your own navigation using standard interactive objects such as buttons, and then click boxes, or preference buttons smart shape on slide master.

  • Hide the smart shape on master slide button

    Hi all

    Looks like I have another issue of nag... I have a project (Captivate 6) that contains the FOOTER navigation that I used smart shape buttons... the problem is, I have a few slides with popups... and buttons are still ALIVE in the pop-up window. And because I can't quote a button on smart shape on a master slide, I don't know how to identify it with a tip Action...

    I know that I can go the L-O-O-O-O-O-N-G way, using a different Master and duplicate the navigation on the slide that will give me the ability to appoint the Smart form buttons... I can't HIDE/SHOW them... but the project has 4-8 pop-up windows that would be a large number of buttons...

    So, is there a way to hide/show buttons created on a model of slides?

    Thank you!

    Not possible: objects on master slides do not receive an identification, which means they cannot be used in a fast action (one of my many requests of feature for quite some versions).

    In such a case of use I would not place the buttons on form on the model of slides, but on the first slide and their time for the rest of the project, always on top (if it can be done here?). In this case, they will have a unique ID for the whole project. However, there are a few possible problems for buttons in form with a suspension point. When you use a suspension point for a button shape on the master slide, the break will always happen at the end of each slide, regardless of its duration. This is not the case for form buttons timed for the rest of the project.

    The update should be available to help, updated. It is available since October 2014.

    Being administrator is not the same thing as Captivate running as an administrator that must be put in place in the menu right click on the shortcut that launches Captivate. You have restricted functionality if this is not done.

    I told you how to clear preferences, with the file Utils. First close Captivate, when you restart CP will create a new preferences folder.

    If you have a lot of customization that you will lose when the erasing of the preferences. To keep them, have a look at my blog:

    Captivate 8.0.1 Install? Keep your customization! -Captivate Blog

    Layouts folder is located in the public Documents. It is a copy of the original folder in the gallery. Same thing with the Interactions.

  • Smart shape above the button, button still running

    Hi Fokes,

    I am using Captivate 8.0.1.242 (latest version), and I came across something quite boring.

    Tell so you create a button that will take you to the next page, then say that you create a smart shape above the button, which is then defined as a button 'Use as button', but when you click it, it will execute the button below.

    Even if the smart shape is not defined as a button, if you happen to click where is the button below, you will end up on the next slide.

    The intelligent form is on the top layer of most, over everything, including the button.

    Anyone have any ideas on what is happening here?

    You can have two interactive objects in the same place at the same time. That has always been the case. It works correctly when you view a button in time, as I have explained in one of the scenarios here: buttons in the form of rocking - Captivate 6 - Captivate blog

    An interactive, covered with a non-interactive object object maintains its interactivity, have many examples of this behavior on my blog too. The only exception I've found recently (to CP8) is when you cover an interactive object (like a text input area) with a widget static (as an interaction of the drop-down list), then the widget now seems to kill the features of the interactive object. He didn't is not logical, but so far (connected to a bug report) haven't heard back about this problem.

  • Auto Slide advance to the next when slide the smart shape buttons are on the sensitive presentation page.

    If I have several buttons smart shape on a slide and I continue by clicking on them, my auto slide advance intermittently. I tried to put a break in action simple and advanced areas leaving. I also placed a button on my model of slides to test. It does not occur on all pages, but it happens on many.

    I'm not sure why the concept of a blade not moving until you click a next button is still such a cryptic mystery in Captivate. This is a very basic function that almost all e-Learning course uses, but it is extremely buggy and almost impossible to remove without a hitch.

    Oh, Captivate, when are you going to become a man?

    It is not mysterious, it has always been the same behavior. If you want more details please visit:

    Why choose Standard Simple action? -Captivate Blog

    Or if you prefer a video: Simple vs stock Standard

    I am intrigued by the "Advanced intermittently", if you want to help, please post a screenshot of the timeline.

    The event on the output is not a good choice for a break, for several reasons: break will take place after the output, which means that on the first frame of the next slide.

    You can still save a feature request if you wish. Captivate has his design, and what you now MENTION has been the case for many, many versions. Either you stay miserable in his subject, and switch to another tool of creation, either learn you more about workflows in Captivate. It is up to you, I'm just a user who tries to help.

  • Buttons on nav smart shape broke in the project of upgrading from 6 to 7

    Captivate version: 7.0.1.237 Windows 7

    I have a project with a navigation that worked correctly in v6, but now the smart navigation buttons form are broken. I tried to rebind the existing smart forms to another slide and create new smart forms to post a link. The forms can be changed visually when you click (normal change), but the project is not going to any other slide.

    Does anyone have suggestions for what else to try? I have a workaround in my back pocket (transparent button on the smart form), but I prefer to do this correctly.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    If the Smart form does not work, I would be a transparent button (don't know why everyone's going for those, but I digress) would fail too.

    I would say check your quiz settings. Chances are that you have an object that can sititng on a blade between where is your smart shape and where you try to bind, if your Quiz settings say that each question should be answered, links will fail.

    See you soon... Rick

  • Smart shape loses quality publish

    No idea why the smart shape loses quality on published?  The edges are losing their beautiful rounded shape.

    What information do you need?

    BTW - published product Preview in Captivate, real published files and preview in the browser.

    Thank you!

    Micky

    If this is the case then it probably is not much else you can do to improve the result with a smart form.  Captivate is probably converting it to a raster the runtime image, not a vector.

  • Smart shape margins

    I created intelligent forms to contain the text. However, the text runs into edges of the smart shape and doesn't look good. Is it possible to adjust the margins of the text in a smart shape?

    Text captions, I would have used, however, they do not have the right colors to match the areas they designate. Thank you.

    Darin

    After talking with Adobe, it was confirmed that the margins are not available when you create a form using the smart polygon. That said, other forms of Smart show margins. After a further inspection of the intelligent forms, I found that the rectangular legend allows me to move the point to a new location (unlike the text caption).

    Thanks again for your suggestions.

  • a problem that the legend of rolling smart shape were appeared abnormally

    Hello!


    I found a problem that the rollover caption smart shape were abnormally appeared in CP6.0.1.240 64-bit. I don't know why it happened?

    My PC environment
    OS: Windows 7 64-bit
    CP: Captivate 6.0.1.240 64-bit

    Before you run:

    1.jpg3.jpg

    Once executed: color of the legend of bearing has been changed and black square. Legend of intelligent form had been black cover and can not be clear.

    2.jpg4.jpg

    Please change the quality of the bass slide to optimized (or high). It is the cause of your problem, 256 colors (8 bits) is not enough for these forms and buttons.
