• Captivate timeline, Flash Menu integration

  Hi people,
  
  I like Captivate, but I have a problem that I can't find the answer to (I googled everywhere)
  
  Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a Menu.FLA file which has graphical buttons to 9 different Captivate SWF files (call them Demo0.swf through Demo8.swf).
  
  I want this file to open a demo SWF file, and when the demo is completed, RETURN to the Menu.
  
  I played with Captivate of Jesse player and that's a start... it adds a drop down feature, but I don't want to give up my menu button interface. In addition, I don't see where and how to insert an option ReturnToMenu... Jesse code only to stop or move on to the next lesson.
  
  Now, I wrote my own code that accesses the timeline, but it seems that Captivate 'lies' the. FLA file and does not give the exact values of _currentframe and _totalframe. I'm playing with decompiling the SWF, etc., so I can put in Flash, but I would really like to be able to access the SWF generated Captivate files.
  
  Another option would be to wait for some events/variable JavaScript at the end of my Captivate SWF that the. FLA file will vote on.
  
  Finally, the option 'on the end of the film"doesn't seem to work as it should. If she called Menu.swf, that would be fine, BUT if I specify a SWF file, it TAKES the. HTML file! What is happening with this? If I have the Flash Player, or I'm running into one. EXE, it should JUST start the movie. Is there a routine JavaScript that I can use? Or what is the difference between narrow film and film Stop? They both seem to stop. If she really could close the demo movie, I could run in a window different layer/target and would face the original menu.
  
  I'd be happy with a solution based on any of the above... change CaptivatePlayer, checking the chronology (accurately), obtaining a variable (i.e. finished = true;), or by using the option 'on the end of the film.
  
  Thank you!!!

  Well, I solved my problem... search by many USENET archives. The problem is related to the way Captivate uses its own script. I had to access internal variables (rdinfoCurrentFrame, rdinfoFrameCount) to make it work. Here is my code, which could be cleaned up a lot... but it works! It was the best solution that I didn't need to mess with the source files of Captivate.

  this.createEmptyMovieClip("swfDemo_mc",1);
  this.swfDemo_mc.clips_array = "MyDemo.swf";
  this.swfDemo_mc.nextClipIndex = 0;
  this.swfDemo_mc.readyToLoadNext = true;
  this.swfDemo_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("demo_mc",1);

  {this.swfDemo_mc.onEnterFrame = function ()}
  {if (this.clips_array. (Length>This.nextClipIndex)}
  {if (this.readyToLoadNext)}
  trace ("loading:" + this.clips_array);
  This.demo_mc.loadMovie (this.clips_array);
  this.nextClipIndex ++;
  this.readyToLoadNext = false;
  } else {}
  trace (this.demo_mc.rdinfoFrameCount + ":" + this.demo_mc.rdinfoCurrentFrame);
  if(this.demo_mc.rdinfoFrameCount==This.demo_mc.rdinfoCurrentFrame &&)
  This.demo_mc.rdinfoFrameCount! = 0) {}
  trace ("finished Demo");
  trace ("delete loop")
  delete this.onEnterFrame;
  gotoAndStop ("WebMenu");
  This ._visible = false;
  this.readyToLoadNext = true;
  }
  }
  } else {}
  trace ("delete loop")
  delete this.onEnterFrame;
  }
  }
  Stop();

• Control edge file animate OAM with the buttons play/pause of Captivate on the skin.

  Hello world

  I worked on a project where I mix a variety of objects and animations.  I do animations animate on board.  The problem I have is that when the user clicks the button pause on the Captivate playback controls, the oam file do not pause.  I found descriptions of how I can make an animation to play/pause the Captivate timeline button on board, but I can't find anything on the use of the Captivate pause button to control the Edge file animate.  Discussions only that I managed to find on that seem to be the answer.  Someone had a bit of luck with this question?

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  OK, it's a bit hacky, but it works quite to control the main timeline object in a file of edge of Cape Town, where the Edge file has been imported to Cap 9 as a Web (oam) object. I went seeking answers same like you and came from vacuum, then start to tinker myself and came across the following method.

  Let's use window.postMessage to send a string between Cape document window and document edge iframe window then react accordingly. You can learn more about postMessage accepted battery answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3076414/ways-to-circumvent-the-same-origin-policy

  In your dashboard file click the support of Actions for the stage object in the timeline and select the compositionReady event. Paste this code into the text window:

  addEventListener for Chrome, attachEvent for IE

  window.addEventListener ('message', receivedFromCaptivate, false);

  window.attachEvent ('onmessage', receivedFromCaptivate);

  function receivedFromCaptivate (event) {}

  switch (event.data) {}

  case "play":

  SYM. Play();

  break;

  case "pause":

  SYM. Stop();

  break;

  }

  }

  Save the file and publish it as an oam, then import the OLS in a slide of Cap, as you normally would. Now, to put in place things of the CAP. Here is a visual aid for the rest of the explanation...

  

  In the PAC file select the control that you use to start playing the chronology of the edge (in the example above the "slide4Play"), select the checkbox 'Use as button' in the properties on the right, select the "Actions" tab, then to the drop-down list for 'Success' choose "Execute advanced Actions." Click the folder next to the selection of Script control and advanced Actions dialog box should appear. Name your action something (for example, "playEdgeSlide4"), then click the 'Add' in the grey bar to add a new action in the queue. In the drop down "Select Action"... ", choose"execute Javascript. "In the drop down menu"select the window... ". ", choose"current ". Then click on the 'Script_Window' button to bring up a window of text Javascript crap. In this window, you can paste this:

  try {}

  $("iframe") [0].contentWindow.postMessage ("play", "*");

  } catch (e) {}

  Console.log (e.message);

  }

  Select 'OK' to close the window of text Javascript crap, then click the 'Update Action' button to save your new action. Now let's do the same for break action - select the control that you use to pause, go through the steps above, the name of the action, implement advanced action in the same way and in the Javascript crap text window, paste the following text:

  try {}

  $("iframe") [0].contentWindow.postMessage ("break", "*");

  } catch (e) {}

  Console.log (e.message);

  }

  Cap incorporates the Edge file in an iframe on the page that has its own document window. In order to communicate between base ceiling windows and the iframe, we use the postMessage call. So when you hit your button Pause/Play in Cape Town, he publishes an event to the function that gets recorded in the iframe on board. And in the event.data is the string we send above the Cap base window in the function postMessage ('play' or 'pause'). We use a simple switch to react to the data string, stop or have fun with the main symbol of the scene at the edge (sym.play(1000) (), sym.stop ()).

  I hope this helps!

• Captivate 9: States of smart objects are not allowed on the slide master?

  If someone can tell me I'm wrong (the 'question' I write I guess) then please do - and tell me what I don't see in this program. THX!

  I have a series of large module has just completed for a high-profile pharma sales force - all built in my former 8. Captivate any software. Should I build a custom interface and completely brand (as it usually is) and do not use search gawd-awful, teacher friendly, built in stuff. All controls in the interface/shell are on slide master (as they should be) - and they are dynamic objects that use images in their States of a button. Worked very well! A master slide to any other, quiz, for precedent... get it. Plus - I complex animations that require a certain work come in the content area of a position backstage - so master slide items MUST be chosen as always on top (another reason to place controls on master slides. Some of my animations are edge animate - then those who are great - but the Captivate timeline based stuff can be 'hidden' obviously.

  Guess what? Captivate 9 not only broke all the controls (and all the custom actions of the art btw)-who needed to be rebuilt using their new 'States' method - but for some bizarre reason Adobe brilliantly REMOVED says abilities completely, all the objects that are placed on leaves of masters... WHY! Now - projects that I opened in it (which where ideally converted to C9 now) have not any comment Visual user for my custom shell (no State to overthrow) controls. I am the only man that creates custom controls and requires them to be the most logical place... slide masters? I am at a loss with this absurd forgotten - especially when it was already possible in Captivate 8. People really bad call.

  If all goes well - can someone tell me I'm a fool and I don't see a button somewhere...

  No, a little more and state that is a slightly shrunken version button of

  normal.

• In a Captivate 7 project created from a PowerPoint presentation, any text animations do not play automatically.

  I created a Captivate 7 project of a PowerPoint slide show, defining the advance slides automatically. There is a slide with animation of text (the text flies in) which plays in the Captivate timeline, but does not in the preview, or when the project is published - the blade stops, then must be clicked to get the animation to play and the slide advances. I do not see how this animation just play when the slide is displayed.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  -Stuart

  That animation is probably triggered during the click on the PPT. change this and update the CP file. It will work.

• Animating text box is truncated - CP6

  I'm still getting my head around Captivate so probably I do something wrong, but I can't understand what it is.

  I created a new empty project with multiple slides. On one of the slides, I inserted a text box animated, entered the text and resize the box to allow the text to be read with the help of about 3/4 of the width of the blade.  It seemed OK in CP6, but when I published the animation stopped at half way through the first line, I tried different animations and had the same result. When I deleted the text box animated and used a simple text with the same content, resized box as before, it shows the text using the largest part of the screen width that I intended.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Tony

  Tony,

  You may have an interactive object that is a break in the time necessary for the animated text (I assume you mean by "animated text box"?)? Check in the timeline panel if you do not see a button (or a text entry box) who has a break (two vertical lines somewhere in their time line), or click box which has a shorter than the slide timeline (he pauses at the end of his chronology). If you don't understand what I'm asking, please post a screenshot of the timeline for this slide (using the small icon of camera fixed in the version of the browser of the forum).

• Recovery & razor tool

  Adobe Premiere Pro 2015.3 cc 20 July 2016

  Today, I started first in the hope of quickly change a video for my little YouTube channel, when I came across a very frustrating and annoying problem. When I tried to use the razor tool to cut the title overlay on top of my video, it would not automatically end up at the edge of the video. I don't know if I changed some settings by accident or what. But any help would be appreciated. When I tried to superimpose a title on the video, he would meet with the edge of the video below. It's really frustrating because it means I have to zoom in to get the accurate meeting of the 2 right, and there's just too much time. Again, any help is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Probably, you hit the S key by mistake - this is the shortcut to activate the hanging on and outside.  You can also use the magnet icon in the header of the timeline panel, just below the timecode display.

• Can I use my background blur mask tracking?

  There is a video of 'how to blur a face moving' help to how a face moving with masking and tracking the blur | First Pro CC tutorials Adobe I need to do the opposite. I want the background of a "talking head" video to be blurred and the speaker to be to the point. Is this possible with first?

  Yes, here's a way to do it. Place the clip from the source of the talking head on the timeline on the video 1 track. Apply the blur effect to the clamp and put the amount of blur you want. Don't worry that it's fuzzy head talking, just concentrated on getting to the blurred background. Once you have the blur that you want, then place the source clip, exactly in the same place in a temporal chronology, the value above the first clip on track 2 - so that you have two identical clips, exactly in sync. Once you do you will not see the blur clip more, it will be hidden by the clip that you placed just above him. Now click the clip on track 2 to select the option, and once selected, look in the effects control pane. Spin open the disclosure triangle for opacity and apply a mask to the clip and follow him. Now will be the blurred background.

• Why can't I create a motion tween

  I followed the courses after downloading the program. However, in step "Fine-tuning the movement of characters", he tells me to create a motion tween. But there is no possibility to create a. Any advice would be welcome.

  Hello

  Right click on the object to call the context menu, and you will find the option "create motion tween". If the object in the context is not a symbol, it will open a dialog box to confirm if you want to the object to be converted to a symbol, press Ok as interpolations of movement are applicable for objects symbols and text only. You will see, that the motion tween is created the game of head in the timeline goes to 24 frame it by adding the interpolation. Under destination, make changes to the object as translate, rotate etc. and press on enter to see the preview of the interpolation.

• Degree of accuracy a filling can you do on a M2V file?

  Necessary to make a change at the beginning of 30 minutes of video. Didn't want to encode everything again. (Like M2v) imported new open again and place at the head of the timeline. Can't cut video framework where I want the clip at the end - most small imcrement of trim is about 5 images (an audio image). Assume that the M2V file is the reason. Tried to remove code and non‑drop...

  The closest gop limit without returning to the original.

  You could get this works if ensure you that the new m2v ends to a limit, and it is one that is in the original timeline.

  Use alt-advance in the monitor to see where are the gops.

• Development of Cp5 Widget - Widget appearing on stage, necessary event

  First a caveat: I'm back to Actionscript after after touching not for a few years while I'm a little rusty!

  Problem: need an elegant method to tell when a Widget has appeared on the scene

  A good example of why you might need, it's the grouped clock widget that comes with Captivate - it starts only when the widget appears on stage.  Other things might be for example dealing with variable Captivate for more advanced ramifications plans, but only to a point in the timeline when you know that these variables are in the State they need to be.

  Thus, the clock widget accomplishes this task, what is the problem?  The problem is the method he uses is quite inelegant that an event listener is used on the ENTER_FRAME event to check on each image property of CPMovieHandle isWidgetEnabled, and if it is, remove the event listener and start the timer.

  In my tests, a widget is initialized on frame 0 of the Captivate timeline regardless of which slide the widget is on, the above event listener is thus enabled and using resources from frame 0.  Multiply that by several widgets to the top and you can see what inelegant solution is especially if your widgets appear in the last few slides.

  So my question; is it possible to extend somehow a Captivate class to raise an event when the widget "becomes activated" and make all this stuff redundant ENTER_FRAME ?  OR is it an event without papers for what I want (never hope!)?

  An idea I had was to use the CPSlideEnterEvent to start than the ENTER_FRAME listener on the slide in which the widget was on--who fell flat that I could not find a way to programmatically determine which slide the widget was

  Any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  The CPMovieHandle class is a proxy so that it will be very useful for you. Since you seem familiar with the classes, I think that all the code is in an external class, or you code on the timeline? If it's in an external class, you just write this line:

  override public function set visible(value:Boolean):void {}
  Super.visible = value;
  Enter your detection here
  }

  You can add your timer there and the widget on its visibility within 200 MS as to which slide the widget is enabled, you can use this code:

  private void findParentSlide(widget:DisplayObject): * {}
  var currentTarget:DisplayObjectContainer = widget.parent;
  While (currentTarget! = null) {}
  If (currentTarget.toString () .toLowerCase () .indexOf ("slide") > = 0) return currentTarget;
  currentTarget = currentTarget.parent;
  }
  Returns a null value. We are at the root
  }

  Provide you this function with the reference of the widget. It returns the slide parent or null if it did not find any slide.
