Whats That: Adobe Captivate 5 - Custom Buttons, Custom Sounds

Episode 2 of the offbeat What's That covers how to create custom buttons in Photoshop CS5 for use in Adobe Captivate 5 or eLearning Suite 2, and then how to trigger sounds with those buttons - and with rollover captions. Includes the use of a Widget for Captivate 5 (in this case the Event Handler Widget from Infosemantics.)

Zanac - i don't know of a free one. It's a shame. I have submitted a feature request to get this kind of functionality more natively supported. So hopefully a future version of Cp will let us just trigger a sound any time we like with button actions, or with advanced actions.

Good job. Keep 'em coming.

@BlueMcers - thanks will do. Hit me with questions and comments if you have burning questions - wonder about workflows etc.

Are you recording this in captivate? When I start a new project, it doesn't give me the option to capture what I am doing in captivate....

@Aopa007 The Event Handler widget can be downloaded from the Infosemantics website. It's an Australian company so don't forget to put dot com dot au after the name.

Excellent stuff, Alan! Is there any way to capture captivate with captivate 5.5? I will definitely reference your videos, but I also have to train my crew with specifics for our project. Thanks again!

I noticed the widget is an additional expense of 20 dollars to purchase.

Do you know of a similar widget or a workaround that is free? Thanks, keep up the videos!
