Why do these marks remain on content slide?
Captivate storing answers between sessions
Good afternoon,
I'm working on a course for a client with a lot of text entry boxes and it's a long course, so the learner may not finish in one session. In our test LMS, the answers in the text entry boxes are retained as long as the learner stays in the session. However, if the learner exits the course and later goes back to any of the pages with text entry boxes that they had previously answered, their answers are no longer there. Any suggestions? I have the option to "Retain Text" in the properties checked and Self-Paced Learning and Enable Navigation checked in the TOC settings. The course does resume where the learner left off, but as mentioned, if they revisit any text entry slides, they have to reenter their answers. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Name or ID of person taking quiz?
How do you know who is taking the quiz? IS there a way to enter your name or an ID number or something?

Storing Test Results
Is there a way to store quiz results to a MySQL database or do we need to use some third party LMS?
Showing question score?
Is it possible to show the score of a question along with the question? For example, 'This question is worth 5 out of 100 points'?
Random Button Bug
Hi guys.
I'm trying to create a quiz with an interactions, radio button. So, I put everything: image on the background, the interaction "radio button", input the texts and when I publish, the text of options just appear cutted. I'v tried everything to fix this, but i just don't know how! Following some prints of the problem. Someone can help me?
Oh, its's captivate 9.
tks a lot!

Quiz Duration?
Is it possible to set a max time limit to complete an entire quiz or is it just timed per question? Also can total duration be shown and stored in the test results?
Changed DPI Awareness to 1...
but Captivate menus are now too tiny to read.
So far, this tryout has been a bust.
Does Captivate just not work with a "high-density" screen resolution?
Do I have to change my screen resolution in order for Captivate to display correctly?
If so, that is a definite show-stopper for me.
.CPL files
When I open a Captivate project, a .cpl file is generated in the same folder as that project's .cptx file (e.g., If I create or open Captivate project named MyProject, the file ~MyProject.cplis generated in the same directory). When I close that file, the .cpl file goes away, indicating it is some sort of temporary file. The file type for these files is Control panel item. However, I have found a number of .cpl files even when I don't have Captivate open--perhaps because I deleted a .cptx file or a .cptx somehow got corrupted. So I wind up with a number of apparently orphaned .cpl files in my project folders.
While I'd like to know what these files are and why they're created, my main question is if I can delete these "orphan" .cpl files without any negative consequences.
Thank you.
Captivate 2019 crash
When the Captivate „title page” appears, a moment later the following message pops up: „Theme file copying failed. Try manually copying Adobe Captivate theme files from /Applications/Adobe Captivate 2019/Gallery/Layouts/11_0/en_US to /Users/test/Documents/My Adobe Captivate Projects/Layouts/11_0/en_US”. When I click OK for a moment Captivate screen appears, with a choice of recent files (Sample Projects, all of them). Than the application crashes. Of course I did the copying - nothing. Reinstalled Captivate - still the same effect. Have the latest version, paid monthly (not trial), on Mac. Can someone help?

Video Playback issues on Published SCORM file
When I preview inserted video it plays correctly, ie in correct alignment when I preview the Project from within Captivate.
However when I publish the project into SCORM 1.2 file the video plays back incorrectly, ie sideways.
I note when I insert the video file initially it is in a side on position (not sure if it relates to how the video was actually captured originally) but I have changed the alignment to 90 degrees within options.
PowerPoint in Captivate 2019
Hi there,
I want to import a PPT file in Captivate and keep the animations that are in the Powerpoint
There are simple text animations - one paragraph appears after the other.
However, once I import the PPT in Captivate The second paragraph does not appear.
Is there some special settings I need to do to be able to see the animations in PPT?
Thanks

Course buttons are not working during revisit
Hello,
I have created a course wherein I created custom navigation buttons to move forward & backward.
While visiting the first time course is working perfect, I kept the restart button at the end, when I click on it to revisit the module, it's moving up to 2nd slide after that the navigation buttons are not responding (not taking to resultant slide).
Thanks in advance, your support is much appreciable.
Thanks & Regards
How do I remove the play button in the start
I get an ignoring play button in the start of all my projects when publishing them.

Why is my Captivate file publishing as pdf rather than swf?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Jaws not reading screen text until I click on slide
Hi,
Trying to get Jaws to read my project. Looking for basic advice.
Running CP 2019
Best way to publish - html5 or swf?
Best browser to use?
Best way to test - webserver? LMS? locally? preview in web browser?
Current issue is that jaws will not read my text captions on my slide until I click on the slide. Shouldn't it automatically read the text captions? Especially if there are no interactive objects on a slide?
Thanks!
Quiz Display Problem Captivate 2019
Hello,
I'm having an issue with my quiz questions being cut off after being published. They look fine in the preview mode but once published they are cut off either not displaying all of the question (cutting off a few words) or cutting the line of text horizontally through the middle of the first line. I have resized the windows but that doesn't fix the problem. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.
Captivate Zoom Out Bug? Zoom out has no transition
Hi there, I am creating a software simulation slide on an existing blank project (not a responsive project), with a video demo setting. In the video editing mode, I can add a zoom with a transition to the zooming in. However, when I try to zoom out again to view the whole screen, the transition does not register -i.e. it is completely abrupt in preview mode. I have tried changing transition time, say from 0.5 sec to 1 sec with no luck. Anyone know how to solve this issue?
Publishing lessons that use question banks
Does anyone know of a publishing issue with Captivate 2019 lessons that use a question bank? I normally publish to HTML and lessons without QBs work just fine. But ones with QBs apparently must be published to SWF in order to work. When I publish to HTML, the browser just spins.
I haven't been able to find any documentation that specifies Flash is required for publishing with question banks. IS this the case, or is it a Captivate glitch?
Captivate Quiz Results Page Misbehaving
Hi
I have a client that is having a weird issue. Her quiz results page shows zeros for her score and accuracy. That's not possible in this course as you have to answer correctly to even get to the end.
The course has been taken by hundreds of people. This is the first time I have seen this.
She said she tried it in Chrome too.
Any ideas??
