Adobe Captivate 6.x Reposition Closed Captions Widget

From: $80

Clear selection

 

What Does It Do?

This widget allows you to change the size and position of the closed captions panel at runtime allowing you to save precious canvas space and artfully display your custom design or logo.   You can hide the CC close button and automatically show the closed captions without having to assign a variable.

This widget was created using the awesome WidgetFactory framework. 

How Does It Work?

  1. To use the widget, just drop it on the canvas and resize and position.  The CC panel will conform to the width and height and location of the widget on stage.
  2. Publish for Flash Player 9 or above.

Requirements

  • Adobe Captivate 6.x
  • Publish for Flash Player 9+
  • Modifying the Adobe Installation as described in the video.

    For purchasers of the older version, for Cp5.x, how can we get the updated one for Cp6.x?

      @85e29312d62d69fe8cba46ad3e34b8e3:disqus :  You need to purchase the 6.0 version.  It had to be re-written from the ground up to work with Cp 6.0.

    Are there plans to make this work with HTML5 publishing? And if so, when?

    • http://twitter.com/CaptivatePro CaptivateDev.com

      Yes, I have it on my list. Unfortunately, I cannot give you a firm date as to when it will be released. If I had to guesstimate, I would suspect early 1st quarter of next year.

    Does this have scroll bar inside Closed Captions?

    Hi Jim,

    I am using 6.1 and this widget isn’t doing anything. Or at least the trial version isn’t. It doesn’t work on the demo project provided in the zip folder and it doesn’t work in my project.

    Do you have any idea how to do this without a widget? I have no problems programming, I’m just frustrated with fighting captivate to find where I should program….

      Thanks Jim for the updated version for 6.1.

      What is great about this widget is it 1) you can place it on the first slide and it plays on all slides thereafter, and 2) it seems to play even if you have “master slide objects on top.” This is the first widget I have seen for 6.1 that can do those things. So Jim, you are on a role!

      I didn’t test changing the size and height. Just tested that the placement part worked, and it did.

      Now if only you could solve the html 5 issue… :)

    Getting a fatal error that causes Captivate to close when I attempt to add the Reposition Closed Captions widget to the widget panel. Using the full version, not the trial. Followed the instructions in the video. Any suggestions?
