Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Question: Are we able to change the text in the component ourselves?
Answer: Yes the stop message is fully customizable through the Widget parameters.

Question: When I insert the component in Adobe Captivate all I get is a blank box. Is that normal?

Answer: Yes that is no problem at all.

  5. hi,

    thanks for this domain lock widget (just purchased). It looks like it will be very helpful.

    Quick question. I read some of the other comments and want to make sure I do this right. I will be using a TOC – so I need to set the widget to display for rest of project? Correct?

    Also, I will be using an aggregator to pull several projects together. Will the domain lock need to be on each project within the aggregated project?

    Thanks

    James

  6. @ James,

    Thank you for buying.

    Yes you should set the widget to “Display for rest of project” if you are using it in a project with a TOC. The widget would also need to be inserted in every Captivate project file if you are using it in a aggregated project.

  9. Hi Michael

    If I wanted to specify localhost as the domain, what would I type in? I tried typing in “localhost” but it didnt work.

    It works properly from websites though

    Thanks
    Mathew

    • Hi Mathew,

      So “localhost” does not work? That’s odd – can you get in touch through the contact section and we’ll figure out what is wrong.
