Last Attempt Specifies the event that should take place after the last attempt. For the description of the available
options, see “Defining project navigation” on page 102.
• If you select Open URL Or File or Open Another Project, click the inverted arrow icon next to the URL or the
Project field to select the window in which the URL, file, or project appears. Select from Current, New, Parent, and
Top. If you choose New, Parent, or Top, you also have the option to continue playing the original project when the
URL, file, or project opens.
• If you select Send E-mail To, you have the option to continue playing the project while the e-mail message is
prepared and sent.
• If you select the Open URL Or File option and specify a URL, the URL is visible when you edit the slide in Adobe
Captivate. However, it is not visible to the user. To show the URL, create a simple image with the URL text on the
image. Then add the image to your slide, and place a click box over the image.
Shortcut You can specify a keyboard shortcut for the mouse-click. Users can use the keyboard shortcut instead of the
mouse. For example, suppose you select Control+Shift+Enter as the keyboard shortcut for the mouse-click. The click
is treated as correct (a click within the box) when users press this combination. If they press the wrong combination,
it is treated as a click outside the box.
Note: If your Adobe Captivate project is displayed in a browser, set keyboard shortcuts that do not conflict with common
browser shortcuts. For example, F1 is frequently used as a keyboard shortcut to display Help. The Control, Alt, and Shift
keys map to the Control, Option, and Shift keys on Macintosh® computers, respectively.
