JavaScript that does not appear

JavaScript does not appear while you preview Adobe Captivate output.

If the Execute JavaScript option is selected as action in the Project End options of the Project Preferences dialog box

(Edit > Preferences > Project > Start and End (Windows) or Adobe Captivate > Preferences > Project > Start and End

(Mac OS)), Adobe Captivate may not display an error message when the JavaScript is previewed. This is because the

Show Borders option as set to On (enabled), by default. When this option is on, Adobe Captivate creates multiple SWF

files—skin SWF files and content SWF files.

To preview JavaScript, set the value of the Show Borders option to Off (disable it) in the Borders tab of the Skin Editor.

The Skin Editor shows the skin preview of the first slide of the project. The preview contains the background color of

the slide (if any) or the background image. You may experience performance issues when the skin preview shows the

background image because every setting in the Skin Editor dialog box is applied to the preview immediately. To avoid

this delay of preview update while editing a skin in the Skin Editor dialog box, you can insert a blank slide as the first

slide. Then open the Skin Editor dialog box and define all your skin configurations like playbar controls, positions

menu, and borders. After finalizing the skin configuration, you can hide the first slide (the blank slide inserted) and

open the Skin Editor dialog box again to preview the final changes. The skin preview will always show the first project

slide that is not hidden.

It is relatively simple to uninstall Adobe Captivate. When you uninstall Adobe Captivate, all of the files you have saved

in your My Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects folder are retained.

To uninstall Adobe Captivate:

From the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel.

Double-click Add Or Remove Programs.

Click the Install/Uninstall tab (if your version of Windows contains this tab).

From the list of programs you can remove, select Adobe Captivate x.x.

Click Add/Remove.

Click Yes to confirm that you want to remove the program.

The uninstall program removes program files, folders, and registry entries. When the files are removed, the

uninstall program indicates that the process is complete.

Click OK.
