Hold the first slide until

Captivate v4

I need to be able to open a project on slide 1, but as soon as the blade is open should not run and wait until I have clciked and 'invisible' area to launch the project in the slide.

Because I want to use the first slide as "intro", while the spectators are get sorted and once they are ready, I can start the project.

I tried to add a box to click initially, but appears not to brake the slide as soon as it starts.

Can someone help me please - I'm sure it's something simple, but just escapes me.

Noel, another option, you may think is just to deselect the auto play option in the preferences of Project Start and End.  This will give you a button on the first slide you have to click to start.  Only problem is, you cannot change the position or appearance of this button, and slide behind it will probably be a bit blurred.  Just a thought.

  • How to remove the bar at the bottom of the first slide?

    Hello, I have a thin dark grey bar which crosses the bottom of my first slide (like a windows taskbar). It is only on the first slide, and that's on top of my background image. I assumed it was something to do with a game bar, but I removed the playback controls in the skin Editor.

    However, this bar is always on the first slide.

    I have no idea what it's called or how to get rid of.

    Thank you in advance.

    I found the problem.

    The theme that puts bar here. (I thought that I had started with a blank slide)

  • When I include a Table of contents in my project and get an overview of the project, it always starts with a blank slide that contains an arrow to 'start '. That's fine, but I really want to start with the first slide in the deck. How to change that?

    The Captivate TOC suggests that the first slide must be 'System Basics title Page'. But instead, I get the screen below. You must click on the arrow to start the course. Not terrible, but I'd rather just start with my first slide. Ideas?

    If this isn't HTML, you will have to leave checked AutoPlay. Normally SWF-output supports automatic playback. Check the preview in the browser instead of draft Preview.

  • How to limit the first slide to play?

    Could someone tell me please how to limit my first slide to play again. My app opens web pages specified with a click of a button. When I use the back button on my phone to close the web page, it goes back to the intro slide and it plays again. I like the back button to bring the user support to the last page visited, but I don't know how to do this. Help, please.

    Can you explain better? You ask "to last visited page/slide" but since the beginning of your question, I realized that this is the first slide? What do you really want?

  • Reading not systematically hiding on the first slide bar

    Hello

    Another issue/question - I seem to have a large number of them suddenly.

    I build a project with a series of video slides where I want to use the playback bar as a means of uses to turn early, legends, etc. on video slideshow and break.  But I don't want the play bar on the first slide, which is just a simple swipe of welcome or any of the other non-video blades.  I thought it was an easy thing to do by setting "Hide bar reading" action entering the slide.  I thought that was working fine, but now I noticed that when I test the project, using the game in Web browser option or actually publish the site, the PlayBar appears at least half the time.  If I just refresh the browser it disappears... sometimes.  Sometimes, if it does not and if I hit refresh, it pops up so...  I put the project on a server and played from a different computer (a PC, because I'm on a Mac) and I get the same behavior always incompatible.  The playback bar hide work regularly in other slides a simple action or as part of a tip or shared action.

    I don't remember if this happened on earlier versions of the project, but it may well have been because I wasn't really looking for it.  I have nothing particularly advanced past in that the first slide and the only thing I could think was 'different', that an average project was that I used the widget CPGuru OCD, but I took on the first slide just to check, and that doesn't seem to change the question.  Does anyone have an idea, what could be the cause so I can get him to stop?

    I understand a cludge which seems to work, but don't really want to use it.  Basically, I duplicate the slide, remove the break of all elements (in this case a box single click) and then reduce the duration of all the elements and the slide itself juste.1 second - so I basically start the project with a duplicate version of .1second of the first slide that runs immediately in the 'real' first slide.  In this way, it seems that if she fails to close the IPL when he effectively reload this slide it hides the PlayBar so that the user sees only a small Flash.

    Any help in debugging this I can avoid the cludge is greatly appreciated.

    System:

    Mac Pro runs the Mavericks

    Captivate 7.0.1.237

    Flash Player 10 selected in the editing preferences

    Sometimes, depends on several factors, advanced by the first on enter (or simple) action has a slight delay and that's what I think. Was the same in all versions. The only solution is to avoid action on enter on the first slide, to add a short slide you did and trigger the action at the beginning of the second slide.

  • Project start is not on the first slide when published and presented in preview (CP7)

    I have a problem in some of the projects where she will start on the second slide when released instead of the first slide. What are some settings I check to fix this?

    In my experience, it is never a good idea to place anything on the first slide of the movie because sometimes these things get skipped.  Always start the elements of the screen on the second slide.  Keep the first blank slide and make lasting 2-3 seconds.  In this way, preload may attempt to ensure that all the bits necessary to start the 2 slide are aboard, before its opening.

    Another question, can you do to avoid problems at the start time is NOT placing a video heavy of introduction on the first two slides.  It's just ASKING for trouble.

  • Import the background music for the first slide

    I imported a background music, but I need only for the first slide. It should be an introdcutory with music background and recorded spoken text flashfilm.

    How can I limit background music to the first (and last) slide only?

    Thank you, Miriam

    Hello

    Rather than import the background sound try importing audio to the slide. If you are using Captivate 4 or 5, you will then have an option for audio looping. This will allow you to have the loop on any number of individual slides. In your case, the first, and last slides.

    See you soon... Rick

  • How to get an overview of Captivate 4 to begin with the first slide to look at a second?

    I created a slide show-125 in Captivate 4. Some slides are in short (1 s <) video capture, but most of them are simple slides with audio narration.

    The presentation plays very well the first time that somebody is watching. Then, on the viewings, the presentation (that they are placed in the context of the html file or by opening the .swf directly) jumps to the position it was in during the previous display. Seen online, people notice a slight delay, so that it plays the first half second of the first slide, then jumps. For people who watched the video completely through, the presentation seems to spend the first half of the second ('welcome... ") to the last slide ("Thank you for watching,"etc.). This proved confusing for our customers.

    Is there a way to get the presentation to forget that this timestamp and just start from the beginning each time someone opens? I looked in Edit > Preferences and the help documentation and have found no setting for it.

    As stated in the FAQ, I'll try to break the presentation into three smaller, then string those together. However, I would be surprised if this has solved the problem, given that the presentation does not seem to suffer from amnesia, but rather too good a memory.

  • Go to the next slide, until you answer the question correctly

    I use Adobe Captivate 6 and I'm creating a quiz that if students continue to next slide, they need to answer this question correctly.

    Here's my setting.

    Quiz Setting 2.jpgQuiz Setting 1.jpg

    After above adjustment, when I reached this quiz, it did not continue. and then I answer incorrectly and then click on send, it shows that I have answered wrongly. Then I click on the next button, it allows me to go to the next slide. I guess I can't do that. May I know if the setting is correct? Thank you!

    Subscribe to the required option. Since you have endless attempts, user will not be able to get unless it provides a correct answer. And you didn't hide the next button, which means that it can not move. But I think it's a bad idea to allow navigation back, because when a user navigates back, the next button is not there, so it will totally get stuck.  And if you want to allow the review, you need the following button as well. And you don't hide the PlayBar, which means that the user can ignore the questions.

    I would reset the option you want on optional. Then hide PlayBar in Quiz and cannot move backward. Drag the next button under the clear button if you want the ability to review, but I suspect that this is not the case because you show slide of Score, which means that you won't have the review function.

  • iPad App do not restart on the first slide

    Has anyone else encountered this problem with an app for iPad:

    I start the app and scroll to different slides.

    I then shut down the application complete by using the procedure on an iPad.

    When that I raise the the app, it loads in the last slide, I was instead of the initial launch slide.

    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This is how works the Viewer. He always remembers the last position that you were in.

  • After the first slide

    The option for my presentations to mark as finished after a set number of slides is not working properly. No matter how much I slide to use State as completed, the presentation is marked as completed by my LMS after viewing the second slide.

    I have installation using Articulate training and it works very well with my LMS. Is this a problem with Captivate or am I might not create an option properly?

    I realized what was wrong with that. Slide view completion is only a percentage of slides do not play the number of slides. Information about Adobe using Adobe Captivate with other Applications page are incorrect to explain this value as it says"Slide views only the status is sent as Pass/complete only after the user has completed viewing the prescribed number of slides". Since I was setting the number to a very low value, as the module has many slides, the second slide was validate the low number so the reason why it ended after accessing the second slide.

  • logo on the first slide in Captivate

    Hey all,.
    Player, is the first time in a long time...
    When I publish and then open my file, Captivate logo is on the first screen - and then my project starts.
    How can I remove it?
    Note: I'm not talking Captivate logo on the player controls.
    Thanks for any help on this.

    What's the default loading screen? Select Edition, preferences, then the node start and end disable the loading screen, or select a different preloader.

    I hope this helps.

  • on the first slide button is not displayed

    Captivate 3. One of my files when I saw it works fine. When I publish the file well slideshows and the audtio works well but the 'next' button, I inserted does not appear?

    Ah, this additional button must have been set to pause the slide, and it has been attributed to take no action, he just held the blade it.

    Try to use a transparent caption instead of a button, or go into the settings of the button and make sure that it is not set to pause the slide.

  • First "Slide" crashes when exported in the form of film

    When I try to send a presentation Keynote to Quicktime or share on YouTube the first slide hangs and never advance to another even if I scroll to slide following progress very well. Not sure why I can't get anything beyond the first slide. Seems to me theres a bug in Keynote. All advice is appreciated!

    It is a common super bug. My solution is to make just a live show recording so I can advance the slides when I choose manually. Good luck!

  • First slide and following slides are different sizes at the launch of the server web file .swf

    We use CP5.5, and a .cptx file has been published in .swf. When played locally, he plays very well. However, during the launch of our server web, the first slide is displayed correctly, but all the following slides are huge on the screen and playback controls and half of the screen are not available. I tried to copy all the slides in a new project and publication, same problem. I also deleted on all ppt slides and not republished, no chance. I can resize the project but the difference in size of screen between the first slide and remains of slides, even when I delete the first slide is displayed differently. When I erase it, the first new slide has the problem. Again, the issue is seen only when the .swf is launched from our web server.

    Are there widgets on these first slides?

    You mention that you launch the SWF from your Web site.  He launched you via the HTM files and JS Captivate also publishes?
