Go to slide revisited for Captivate 5

I found two forums on the topic, but I can't code proposed to work for me. Re: jumping into a new project [for heading 4] offers a solution that was revisited in Re: Got code works in Captivate 5. The solution offered for Captivate 5 has:

if ( window.location.href.indexOf('?slide=') != -1 ) { 
  var slideNumber = window.location.href.substring(window.location.href.indexOf('?slide=' )+7);
  var cp = document.getElementById('Captivate');
  cp.cpEISetValue('cpCmndGotoSlide',slideNumber-1);
  cp.cpEISetValue('rdcmndResume',1);
}

I couldn't get it work. I even tried a simplified version:

  var slideNumber = 4;
  var cp = document.getElementById('Captivate');
  cp.cpEISetValue('cpCmndGotoSlide',slideNumber-1);
  cp.cpEISetValue('rdcmndResume',1);

He did nothing (and Yes, I was running the .htm and .swf from a server, not only using the preview). Finally, according to http://captivatedev.com/series/captivate-javascript-series/, I tried

var slideNumber = 4;
var objCP = document.Captivate;
objCP.cpEISetValue('rdCmndGotoFrame',slideNumber);
objCP.cpEISetValue('rdcmndResume',1);

This code caused the player access to a slide internal (probably slide 4), but the reader doesn't display a dimmed page and did not play.

I'm at one end of my rope. Here's what I'm actually trying to do:

I have a few short tutorials, already created, they work fine. I want to create a new tutorial that provides a context and then launches the tutorials previously created on an arbitrary slide. A nice to have would be for the small tutorial understanding that it was launched by another video swf (rather than by a direct link) and then exit to the tutorial of aggregation.

Any ideas how to get every function/feature to work?

Take a look at this tutorial and see if it helps:

  • "Jump" to a specific slide in adobe captivate with edge animate.

    I want to "jump" to a specific slide in adobe captivate using interactions created in a file hosted from edge. Is someone able to help me with the javascript code needed to do this?

    So I don't know what was going on in April which did not possible but now 9 Captivate at least you can below to communicate a slide jump in Cape Town from the edge.

    I have an Edge file with a unique symbol to this topic called edgeButton which is just a simple rectangle with text on the subject. On the click to edgeButton event, I added the following script:

    window.parent.postMessage ('2', ' * ');

    Where the '2' is the second slide in a Captivate project. Here's a visual aid on board for the game to the top:

    On the side of the course of things, I set up a simple empty project with two slides on it and have disabled the PlayBar. On the first slide, I imported the OAM Edge file from above and on the second slide are just a simple text caption so that you know you have arrived at this slide after clicking on the "Click me" button in the animation of embedded edge. Here is a visual aid for the CAP put in place:

    Notice that there is a progress of the Actions run on the onEnter of the master slide. This is what looks like this Action:

    First, we add a Pause action so that the project does not automatically. Then we add a Javascript action to perform on the window 'active'. The script in the window Javascript crap is:

    window.addEventListener ("message", slideJump);

    function slideJump (event) {}

    Console.log (Event.Data);

    window.cpAPIInterface.gotoSlide (event.data);

    }

    If you use IE, change the first line of window.attachEvent ("onmessage", slideJump);

    What we have done here is connect Edge (that Cap incorporates in an iframe) with Cap using the postMessage function that allows document windows communicate with each other. Since the Edge object is inside the DOM of the CAP, the script of edge must publish its message to its parent window, which is the Cap document window. Add the listener for the event message to Cap on its current context of window and after receiving the message that we call the function slideJump and suss out the string that was sent to the wire using event.data, which in this case will be "2."

    We record the value in the console

    Console.log (Event.Data);

    just for sanity check our channel, then pass the string to the common JS Cape API interface

    window.cpAPIInterface.gotoSlide (event.data);

    the Cap project going to slide #2.

    If you're curious, here's a Stack Overflow write to postMessage . Communication between edge and Cap can work in two ways via postMessage, btw. Here is an example where we do something similar, except that we control an animation of edge of assets to Captivate with postMessage.

    I know that this response is a few months late to the party, but if all goes well it helps or helps someone else who might be looking for a response to a similar problem.

  • DIY LMS for Captivate

    Anyone has the experience to create your own simple LMS for Captivate projects? This should save progress, bookmark and completion. I wonder how easy it would be. I'm assuming that a database MySQL, PHP etc would do the job

    TIA

    Yes, all the tracking options that Captivate offers can be used to 'follow completions '.

    The biggest problem, how YOU (or anyone who cares) check out these completions, maybe? How do you run reports?

    LMS products do that pretty easy (in general). Personalized follow-up can get more complicated and may require you to create a custom reporting tool.

    Captivate Quiz results Analyzer is supposed to be the declaration too for these solutions non - LMS... but it works well for your needs?

  • I have a license for Captivate 5 but Im afraid to use it!

    I have developed several courses in CP 4. Because of hardware changes, I have to constantly go back to them to edit and upload to our LMS. My company has 10 licenses reserved CP 5 but if I start 5 use how do I change the courses created by CP 4.

    How can I go about it?

    I have to cancel the registration of the 4 and 5 to use to create new courses of load

    So when I have to update a previous course I write off 5 and load 4 new

    When done remove 4 and reinstall 5

    Infinite and nausea...

    Surely if I bought a license for Captivate 5 I certainly intend use it, then why Adobe covers me in a position that is impossible not to be able to change my route 4 to 5 CP CP?

    Can I have other options or should I have just forgotten about using CP 5?

    Hello

    First, Captivate 4 and 5 of Captivate can coexist on the same computer. for example, you can have a copy of Captivate 4 and saved copy (or a copy of the trial) of Captivate 5 parellelly running on the same computer.

    Then, Captivate offers this compatibility with content created in Captivate 4 upwards. In other words, project created in Captivate 4 can be opened and edited in Captivate 5. Vice Versa is not true, i.e. the content created in Captivate 5 can be changed in Captivate 4.

    That being said I would like to draw your attention to this blog:

    http://blogs.Adobe.com/Captivate/2010/08/patch-for-Adobe-Captivate-5-to-resolve-upgrade-re this - issues.html

    Captivate 5 has many new and improved workflow features. I encourage you to try out them.

  • Advanced actions 'examples' for Captivate v5.5

    Captivate v5.5

    I can be alone in this - but due to my lack of knowledge of what the tip Action 'codes' means (in English), how to use and all necessary for the creation of an 'action', I'm missing out on this powerful feature and so unable to use Captivate to its full potential.

    For example; I need to provide my students with an option to replay the current slide again. There is no option on the playback controls to this (strange is that?) so the solution was to create a button allowing to the learner to return at the beginning of the current slide and have the slide to auto-start from the beginning.

    Lilybiri (as always) was very helpful in pointing me in the direction of a free "Replay Slide' widget in addition to give me the code to create my own button using an 'Advanced '. I'm sorry to inform Lilybiri that I totally failed to make this work and have therefore used the widget.

    For me and others like me who are not experts in working with the code and understand the variables etc., some practical examples of the most frequently used applications including screenshots of the required parameters would be an excellent starting point.

    The manual of Captivate help has a few examples, but it would be really useful if there was some more typical examples of basic actions that novices like me could follow, and therefore begin to understand the concept behind, like create a replay button of the slides - followed instructions with screenshots.

  • Tip jump slide on "go to the next slide" - action 6 Captivate

    I have perhaps not such a strong sense of what is obvious! I have set up a tip action:

    acuityvalidation.png

    The action is validated from a click box determined by what the user enters the text entry area, any number between 1 and 5. The text entry box is assigned to a variable that is returned to the next slide. On release, however, the action assigned to the click box takes me to, not on the 'next' side - he really jumps the next slide and goes to the one after that it is supposed to go. To force a work around, I tried to assign the conditional action to ' slide ', but when I tried to do, I couldn't be Ahmed down.. to choose the slide. Here's what I got:

    no-scroll.png

    So it did not scroll up to let me down to 155 slide. In addition, I really don't want to assign a single tip Action for each slide where function is required.

    If I put the conditional action to 'Continue' (instead of 'go to next slide') slide suspends indefinitely and not going anywhere. So, here I am, and I know that one of you has a very keen sense of the obvious. Thanks in advance for any action that you can provide (pun intended).

    Hello

    I notice you have two declarations "Go to the next slide" in the first example to separate. That seems to explain the behavior of the project move you TWO slides forward instead of one.

    Cannot explain why you do not get a scroll bar that allows you to choose. But maybe you can try using the arrow keys to move the selection to the desired slide pointer?

    The lack of a scroll bar seems to imply a bug. I suggest you report it as even at Adobe. (link in my sig line)

    I just installed Captivate 5 on my Mac and can not for the life of find me a way to import slides/objects as I could in Captivate 4.

    To change the property for multiple instances of an object, we use Object Styles. For Ex: To change boxes highlight in all the slides, you can use the object styles, if you change a property in the Style of the object manager, it will change in all cases.
