This tab lets you determine how the project responds to user interaction. The options are divided into two basic categories: what happens when the user clicks inside the click box and what happens when the user clicks outside the click box.

The following options are in the If The User Clicks Inside The Click Box area:

On Success

Specifies the event that occurs when a user clicks inside the box. For more information, see Defining project navigation.

Disable Click Sound

Disables the click sound that is played when users click inside the click box area.

The following options are available in the If The User Clicks Outside The Click Box area:

Allow User [#] Attempts

Specifies the number of times the user can attempt the question before the specified action takes place. The Infinite Attempts option is selected by default. To enter a specific number of attempts, first clear the Infinite Attempts option.

Infinite Attempts

Allows users an unlimited number of attempts.

After Last Attempt

Specifies the event that should take place after the last attempt. For more information, see Defining project navigation.

• If you select Open URL Or File or Open Other Project, click the pop-up menu to select the window in which the URL, file, or project appears. Select from Current, New, Parent, and Top. (If you choose New, Parent, or Top, you also have the option to continue playing the original project when the URL, file, or project opens.)

• If you select Send E-mail To, you have the option to continue playing the project while the e-mail message is prepared and sent.

• If you select the Open URL Or File option and specify a URL, the URL is visible when you edit the slide in Adobe Captivate. However, it is not visible to the user. To show the URL, create a simple image with the URL text on the image. Then add the image to your slide, and place a click box over the image.

Select Keys

You can specify a keyboard shortcut for the mouse-click. Users can use the keyboard shortcut instead of the mouse. For example, suppose you select Control+Shift+Enter as the keyboard shortcut for the mouse-click. The click is treated as correct (a click within the box) when users press this combination. If they press the wrong combination, it is treated as a click outside the box.

Note: If your Adobe Captivate project is displayed in a browser, set keyboard shortcuts that do not conflict with common browser shortcuts. For example, F1 is frequently used as a keyboard shortcut to display Help. The Control, Alt, and Shift keys map to the Control, Option, and Shift keys on Macintosh® computers, respectively.

Click the Options tab. This tab lets you design how the click box looks. Select from the following options:

Item Name

Enter a unique name for the object. You can use this name when defining the visibility conditions for the object.

Visible

Deselect this option if you want the object to be invisible on the slide. The object can be made visible using the Show option. For more information, see Controlling the visibility of objects.

Display For [Time]

Specifies the time for which the click box appears on the slide.

Appear After [#] Seconds

The time after which the click-box appears on the slide after the slide starts playing.

Success Caption

The caption displayed when the user clicks inside the click box.

Failure Caption

The caption displayed when the user clicks outside the click box.

Hint Caption

The caption providing a hint to the user. The hint is displayed when the user moves the mouse over the click box.

Show Hand Cursor Over Hit Area

Changes the pointer to a pointing hand when the user moves the pointer over the click box.

Stop Slide Audio When Clicked

Audio stops playing when the user clicks the click box. This option stops only the slide audio, not the background audio. Also, only a mouse click stops the audio; using a keyboard shortcut does not stop the audio.

Pause Project Until User Clicks

Project starts playing only after the user clicks the click box.

Double Mouse Click

Users must double-click the click box.

Right Mouse Click

Users must right-click on the click box.

Stop Slide Audio When Paused
