First, you will learn how to create a typical interactive Captivate project. This will give you the opportunity to review all Captivate objects and uncover the application's main tools. Then, you will use the built-in capture engine of Captivate to create an interactive software simulation and a Video Demo that can be published as an MP4 video. Then, you will approach the advanced responsive features of Captivate to create a project that can be viewed on any device. And finally, you will immerse your learners in a 360o environment by creating Virtual Reality projects of Adobe Captivate. At the end of the book, you will empower your workflow and projects with the newer and most advanced features of the application, including variables, advanced actions, JavaScript, and using Captivate 2019 with other applications.

Extra credit – Creating the Continue button on Slide 4

Now that you have used a Smart Shape to create a Continue button on slide 3, you will repeat the very same steps to create the same Continue button on slide 4. Remember that the general steps go as follows:

  • Go to slide 4 of the project.
  • Draw a rounded rectangle Smart Shape in the bottom-right corner of the slide.
  • Apply the shape_As_Button style.
  • Turn the Smart Shape into a button using the Use as Button checkbox of the Properties Inspector.
  • Make sure the Action of the new button is Go to the next slide.
  • Place the new button on the Timeline so that the pause symbol roughly corresponds to the end of the narration.

This whole process will soon become second nature for you, as Buttons and Smart Shapes used as buttons are very common in most Captivate projects.
