Control Captivate with Lectora Update

There seems to be a few people asking about this so I thought I would post what I found. I wish I would have looked through the Captivate help file a little harder a few months ago because everything you need to completely control Captivate is in there. I thought I would post the variables anyway for whoever might want them. * rdcmndPrevious = 1 Is used to go back one slide in a captivate movie * rdcmndNextSlide = 1 Is used to go forward one slide in a captivate movie * rdcmndPause = 1 Is used to pause a captivate movie * rdcmndResume = 1 Is used to play a captivate movie * rdcmndRewindAndStop rewind and stop the movie * rdcmndRewindAndPlay Is used to restart and play a captivate movie * rdcmndGotoFrame| Is used to go to a specific frame, note this is Frame not a Slide (see rdinfoFrameCount) * rdcmndExit does what is say's exit's the movie * rdcmndInfo display the information window (Yep that little Info box that everyone moans about * rdinfoFrameCount total number of swf frames in the movie (this is not the number of frames in the main Timeline, but the sum of all slide frames) * rdinfoSlidesInProject number of slides in the movie (including hidden slides) * rdinfoCurrentFrame current frame (goes from 1 to rdinfoFrameCount when you play the movie) * rdinfoCurrentSlide slide currently playing (zero based) * rdinfoSlideCount number of slides in the movie (not including hidden slides) * rdIsMainMovie can be used to identify a Captivate movieAnd a couple of unpublished variables * rdcmndHidePlaybar = is used to hide or show the playbar 1= hide 0=show * rdcmndCC = is used to show or hide Closed Captions 1= show 0=hide * rdcmndMute = is used to mute or unmute the audio 1= mute 0=unmute
