Progress Indicator as a Percentage
January 13, 2017
I’ve been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005, specializing in the creation of interactive and engaging learning experiences. In 2015, I launched my own eLearning design business and began producing Adobe Captivate video tutorials on my YouTube channel, CaptivateTeacher, to support clients and fellow developers. This content not only helped me grow my business globally—it also introduced me to a wider community of aspiring Captivate users who now turn to me for training and mentorship. Today, I provide both online and onsite Adobe Captivate training, empowering others to build effective eLearning with confidence. I’m proud to be part of the Adobe eLearning Community, sharing knowledge, collaborating with other developers, and contributing to the growth of this platform.

In this video, I’m going to show you how you can have a progress indicator in Adobe Captivate expressed as a whole number percentage. Thanks to Philip Wood for providing the JavaScript for this tutorial.

Thank you, this worked great! But I still have a problem…When the user goes to the last slide, it automatically shows that the progress is 100%, even if the user did not saw any other slides. Is there a additional variable or a function to count if the user actually saw the slide?

I often create these tutorials for one specific situation. In this case, the video assumed only a linear progression through an eLearning course. You could write a slightly different advanced action that incremented a variable that keeps track of the arrival on each slide but you would also need to keep track if the user has previously visited that slide before. This becomes a more complicated script to write and I’m not sure it’s worth the effort for something as mundane as pagination.
