In this video tutorial, I answer a viewer question about triggering actions such as playing audio, or running advanced actions, by using a keyboard shortcut. This might be even easier than you thought.

Submit All with Only One Submit Button in Your Captivate Quiz

In this video tutorial, I got a message from Anjalli Pawar about disabling the Submit All on the majority of slides. Not a complicated solution but I think this accomplishes what Anjalli was looking. At least I hope so. In either case, feel free to use this approach to have only one final submit button at the end of your quiz but still can move about the exam freely.

Fix Fluid Box Image Fill Resize Issue in Captivate

In this Adobe Captivate tutorial, I show you how to fix the fluid box image fill resize issue.

During my live stream from a few days earlier than this post, I noticed something that I hadn’t paid attention to when importing images into the background fill of my fluid boxes. It seems that Captivate was resizing the images during the import process. Obviously, this isn’t what I wanted since I’m the type of person who prepares his images in advanced of developing my elearning and I pick specific sizes based on the eLearning canvas size. In this Adobe Captivate tutorial, I show you how to fix the fluid box image fill resize issue.

Do This to Your Images Before Adding to Your Captivate eLearning

I saw a post on the forums recently where a person didn't understand why the images they imported into their eLearning project were not showing up, were slow to load, or were showing up as red boxes. My experience is that the images being selected were too large for the elearning course.
