Securing Slides - Adobe 65029940 - Captivate - PC Using Manual

Notice that the filename consists of the following elements:
•
Name of the playback control ("style")
•
Hyphen ("-")
•
Name of the button ("play")
•
Either "buttonup" or "buttondown"
•
Bitmap file extension (".bmp")
To create custom playback controls:
Create new buttons using a graphics software package such as Macromedia Fireworks or Adobe
1.
Photoshop. Save the buttons as separate bitmap (BMP) images. Use the naming conventions
outlined above when you name and save your bitmap images.
Create a bitmap that contains a preview image for the whole control. (This image appears in the
2.
playback controls list so you can preview the playback control.) This filename can be called
controlname-preview.bmp, where controlname is a specific name for your new control.
Using Windows Explorer, place the bitmap images in the Captivate playback controls folder
3.
located in C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Captivate\Gallery\PlaybackControls.
Open your movie in Captivate and add the playback control to your movie.
4.
Note: Playback control buttons should all have the same width and height. If the images are not the
same size, they might not be displayed properly in the finished movie.

Securing slides

You can lock or hide individual slides in a Captivate project. This is useful if others are reviewing
a first draft of a project.
Locking slides
Captivate gives you the option to lock individual slides. When you lock a slide, all objects on the
slide can be viewed but not edited. This feature is useful if you want to send your movie to others
for review but do not want them to make changes to objects.
You can tell that a slide is locked by looking for the small lock icon. This icon displays below a
locked slide in Storyboard view and in the Filmstrip.
To lock a slide:
Open a Captivate movie.
1.
Right-click on the slide you want to lock and select Lock Slide.
2.
Tip: To select multiple slides, press Shift or Control on the keyboard while clicking on the desired
slides. To select all slides press Control+A or from the Edit menu, choose Select All Slides.
