Adding and Managing Objects

Objects are different elements that you can add to Adobe Captivate slides. Adobe Captivate has 
many different types of objects: 

Text captions

  Text captions are text “bubbles” that describe a slide or provide extra 

information.

Highlight boxes

  Highlight boxes can be used as emphasis and can show users where to focus 

attention or enter data. 

Images

  Images add a new dimension to projects and can be used for a variety of purposes 

including splash screens, pointers, and backgrounds.

Rollover captions

  A rollover caption consists of a caption and a rollover area (the “hot” area). A 

rollover caption appears when the user moves the mouse over the “hot” area. 

Rollover images

  A rollover image consists of an image and a rollover area (the “hot” area). A 

rollover image appears when the user moves the mouse over the “hot” area.

Zoom areas

  Zoom areas draw the learner’s attention to spots on the screen that you want to 

emphasize. The zoom area indicates the important information or image. The zoom destination is 
the enlarged view of the content contained in the zoom area.

Mouse appearance

  Specify exactly how mouse actions appear in your recorded slides.

Flash Videos

  Incorporate Flash Video files in your project; play inserted videos without 

affecting playback performance.

Note: Only import FLV files with metadata into Adobe Captivate. If you import an FLV file that does 
not have any metadata, the Flash Video will not play correctly in your project.

Animations

  Adding animations is an easy way to add content and interest to Adobe Captivate 

projects using information you already have. You can import animated GIF files, SWF files, FLA 
files, and AVI files.

Animated text

  Incorporating Adobe Captivate animated text into projects instantly gives 

projects a high-quality, professional look. Animated text is especially effective on the first and last 
slides of projects.
