ClosedCaptionsOn and ClosedCaptionsOff, are a pair of widgets for turning closed captions on and off at any point in a slide’s timeline. Use ClosedCaptionsOn at the beginning of the first slide of any project to ensure that your closed captioning efforts don’t go unnoticed. Use ClosedCaptionsOff to reclaim space at the bottom of your slide during narration-less portions of your demonstrations and simulations.
Update (3/13/11): I’ve released a new widget, PropertySetter, which contains the functionality of these widgets as well as giving you control of many other parameters.

Known Issues
- In Captivate 5, widgets only function properly if they are on the stage. If your widget is on the slide but off of the stage, in the pasteboard area, it will not function at all.
Thanks
Thanks to Tristan Ward of Infosemantics for developing the WidgetFactory API, which I’ve used for each version of this widget. Thanks also to the Adobe Captivate community for valuable feedback and publicity.
