Last week we received and answered the following Question of the Week:

 
Adobe Captivate 4: Can I Force a Lesson to Play Over and Over?

I am creating a lesson in Captivate.  Is there a way to setup the lesson so that it loops/plays over and over?
 
Answer:
 
Yes. Choose Edit > Preferences. On the Start and End Category, choose Loop project from the Project end options, Action drop-down menu.
 
Glenda Person, CBT Specialist, PGBI-Continuous Improvement, noted the following:

"I found, that most times, if you are going to use loop, have the last slide fade out before the loop starts again. There is an exception. I have some animation (I made a blinking eye) in my project and that animation loops."

Excellent point Glenda. Thanks.

I received this email from Lisa Hansen, Technical Editor, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality…

"Having worked 70 hours already this week at 5 p.m. Friday, I'm just trying to finish my novice attempt at including a graded quiz in a Captivate project so I can go home. I know Captivate CAN make the learner go back to a specified point (Jump to Slide) but I couldn't get it to work–dead in the water on Friday evening (i.e., up a creek without a paddle, far away from any blenderized frozen concoction). 
 
eLearning is not my main task, nor my secondary task, nor… So, I have not spent time properly learning to use it; I have not even spent enough time fooling around with it to get much of a clue. But of course a client needs this project done presto. 
 
I don't need to learn all about CP4, I just need to get this movie/quiz working right now, so I can go home.  And voila!  I found my answer
on your BLOG.
 
So I'm back in business with paddle, and possibly I will be home pouring from a blender sooner than I dared hope.  Bless you."
