Stop Captivate Animation
January 26, 2010 12:00 AM
The latest: I tried, tried, tried to make my file work, like Greg's does...but could not.
Additional things I tried:
In Captivate if you go to the image properties, I noticed that there is a transparency checkbox, so I tried using that. That didn't work.
Then I noticed that Greg's captivate had the images as the slides' backgrounds instead of an image on the slide, so I changed mine but that didn't fix it either.
Next, I attempted to make the wmode transparent. I couldn't find a setting in Captivate that lets you change that. So I published the file, and then went to the HTML file and made the wmode transparent. I'm not sure if that even makes sense....when you publish the Lectora file, does it look at the HTML code, or only the SWF? In any case, it didn't work. I also noticed that Greg's HTML did NOT have wmode set to transparent, and his file still works....
So finally, I just went to Greg's Lectoa file and substituted in my Captivate file (changing the javascript to the appropriate button name). It works. Then, in order to check and see if there is an issue with my button, I substitued in my Next button...still works.
So I am concluding that sometimes, you just have to start over with a fresh file...there is something preventing my file from working, but I'll never know. I am not too far along in developing, so I am just copying over my work into my new file....and going from there!
Thanks Greg for taking the time! Bradley, let me know how it works out for you.

templeton said:I am importing some captivate animations into Lectora and all I want to do is stop the captivate animation from playing and then go on to the next page in my Lectora file. I have a "no action" button on the last slide of my captivate file because I have a rollover interaction on that page. If I add a continue button to the captivate slide, then in Lectora, the animation continues to a blank page, but I’m still in Captivate. I want to end the animation and go to the next page in Lectora. I can add a continue button in Lectora, but the button shows up during the entire Captivate animation, when I would only want to see it on the last slide of Captivate. Any ideas?
