Captivate 4 does not work

The demo of Capitvate 4 does not work on my computer even if it seems to install fine, and I am puzzled. In fact, the program does not start after installation, then suddenly was able to launch that only once, then it wouldn't start again. I get the splash screen and then nothing.

I followed the advice of troubleshooting Adobe and what common sense I: installed as administrator, installed in mode limited, uninstalled, reinstalled, reset between the two. I have Windows XP SP3 with all latest updates and my computer is a Core2Duo with 1.5 GB of RAM.

Looking at the installation logs, we seems to be repeated three times with putting files into directories, and every time that ends with the following text:
= Logging stopped: 2009-02-04 17:52:24 =.
Installation result: 0

Any ideas would be appreciated.

OK, I thought about it.

Captivate 4 calls on the 'My documents' folder during startup and it is directed to a place that you don't have write access (UM, I'm a Mac user and never realized this curious Microsoft Windows folder was supposed to actually be accomplished somewhere), then it crashes on start.

I've reconfigured my "My documents" folder and now it works. Now the only thing of lovecraftian is why Captivate worked once before that I thought that off... fnord.

  • AIR 4.0 captivates runtime does not work: alert "requires a version of Adobe AIR.

    I create a captive AIR runtime application, and it does not work on a target computer Windows *. Instead of this, the following alert:

    This application requires a version of Adobe AIR, which can not be found. Please download the latest version of this run of http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the author of the request for an updated version.

    How can I present the captive runtime differently so it does not appear this message? The application is a pure ActionScript application compiled with the binary adt of the stand-alone version of the SDK software (this is not Flex).

    In addition, I am troubled that a captive runtime ping Adobe AIR application somehow. I see occasional pings to an adobe site at launch of the application (something like airdownload2.adobe.com, if I remember correctly). No I do not use service calls in my application at this stage of development, it is very simple and should not be the net ping at all. Why is this happening? I need to disable it too.

    * Problem occurring only on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit specific computer. It's unfortunately the thin client machine so I can't tinker with it.

    SOLVED

    It turns out be a case of user error.

    The client, on the problem machine, has been stealthily in the zip package using some owner zip utilities that they have configured on their machine and double-clicking the exe file it there instead of having unzipped the package and running exe Explorer file. The error message is misleading.

    Obviously this question will be avoided for the retail version after that a Setup program is built.

  • Game audio action does not work in Captivate 7

    Hello

    On the first slide in my class, I added a "quick start" guide It consists of a series of legends that contains text. In each legend, there is a text link "Continue" triggering a tip action to hide the current legend / show the following. This works perfectly.

    Now, I tried to reach audio at each step of the guide. I added a "audio playback" action after stocks show/hide for the first step. No audio not playing. When I changed the audio of the game to be the first action in the script - the script did not work at all. When I changed it between the show and the skin, leather working and show does not. What I gather from this is that play the audio does not work and also stops all this.

    Any advice?

    Thank you

    Just checked, created an action shared with almost exactly the same commands, but grouped together all the containers in text in a group Gr_TC

    Hide:

    It worked perfectly. You don't see a label, because it is a common action, to which I just filled in some settings. Attached to three buttons, had 3 containers of text and 3 different audio clips.

    The audio clip plays when it is used in another way? The only difference seems to be that you have a clip of VO and I used one of the sounds included with Captivate.

    Another way would be to fix the audio on the text as audio of the object container. Once you view the text, audio will play, when you hide the text to stop. It was the way to go before COP6:

  • Tab key does not work for text input areas in Captivate 3

    I'm building a software simulation of training where I am using text input boxes.  Some use the enter as a shortcut key, some use the tab key.  Those who use the keys work well, failure caption works by forced entry when you press Enter, it advances to the next screen.  Those who use the Tab key does not at all.  The legend of failure does not work and the Tab key does not advance to the next screen.  I compared to those that work and those that don't work and I see no difference.  I set the text entry box to pause at the end of the slide so that it should not be a problem here.  I even tried to have the action 'to success"to be continue rather than go to the next slide and use a click box using the Tab key as a shortcut to move to the next screen - nothing helps!  Is it possible that the Tab key could have been turned off somehow?  I'm totally at a loss, please help!

    Thank you!

  • Captivate 8 TOC navigation does not work

    TOC navigation does not work... Why can I not choose this brand?

    In this case all navigation is made impossible by default, sorry about that. It's the same for the bar of reading, not only for the table of contents navigation.

    If you have only a slide before the test, I recommend you to look for another solution: a normal issue of slide, but don't add his score to total score or create a custom question slide.

  • Tip action DOES not work in the Flash output

    Hello

    I created a module in line with Captivate 9 using an advanced conditional action to display the button at the end of 2 sections.

    The trigger works well in the release of HTML5, but it does not work in the Flash output: users need to go back to the slide with the action advanced a second time in order to show the next button.

    It is the created tip action:

    Help, please. Thank you

    Lisa

    Change the order in the updated standard measure jump to slide as last order, or at least after the command of the increment.  The actions are executed in sequence, if you jump first to this slide, where the on enter event is executed, the variable has not yet been incremented. Try to see if it solves the problem. HTML is different from SWF to react (it is converted to JS so that SWF to ACE).

    You post the screenshot of the timeline.

    Moreover, as I have indicated already, I would add continue to the part of the TIME as well as the ELSE part. I learned that, in certain circumstances, a conditional action with that one decision, and no ELSE part does not work well. It is not a problem if you have several decisions.

  • Why the YouTube widget does not work?

    I have some difficulty working with the YouTube widget. Everything worked well with her two days ago (8/18), but since yesterday it stop working. All my colleagues are facing the same thing. The test button no longer works. When you tap on all we get is a black screen with the YouTube logo on the bottom right. When I press F11 to display an overview of all works fine, but when published we get the black screen with the logo in the bottom right. What is executed that the publication of the file locally, a remote server or Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro. I am running version 9.02.421 and colleagues use this version and the previous version (9.01.xxx).

    What differs from F11 preview vs a file published? adobe.

    Please help I need a solution for this ASAP as video is the main format that I work with and have a time-sensitive project that should be displayed.

    I can confirm that the test button now does not work in the changes of URL to "youtube.googleapis.com/v/". I still Captivate installed 9.0.1.320 on a machine and the same thing happens in this YouTube widget as it is in my 9.0.2.421 install.

    A few questions for you.

    Are you an edition to the HTML5 or SWF?

    Can you confirm that the widget is the most recent version? You can do this by clicking on the blue in the Properties Panel icon when you have the widget selected in the slide.

    The version should be 17. If not you will have to remove the widget from your slide, then reinsert the Interactions of learning.

    Also, can you confirm for me that the YouTube URL uses the correct structure? It should be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= and not the shortened structure https://youtu.be/ .

    The difference between F11 and F12 previews is F11 shows a preview using HTML5 and present F12 to preview using the Flash. The final publication should be the same as the preview of F11, if you are publishing on HTML5, but you need to run a local web server or publish the file published on a server to ensure that everything works the same. There are a few things that are happening in the published output requiring a web server in order to display correctly.

  • Tip action does not work when I add a second block of decision

    I'm writing an advanced action 8 Captivate. In response to a question about the points, the user types a number in a text entry area. When they support, the fast action will assess the number. If it is 10, the program should jump to a slide that shows that 10 is the right answer. (When I do just that in a single block of decision, it works.)

    However, the full tip action must assess if the value is higher or lower than 10, then return the user to the question slide and displays an appropriate message. When I add the part in a second decision block, advanced action performs as expected if an incorrect value is entered, but does not work if the correct value is entered. It does is display the question slide once again.

    Here is the code:

    Captivate advanced actions code_01.jpg

    Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Should there be an ELSE statement in the first block of decision? I tried to continue, but that did not help.

    -Stuart

    The logic of your advanced action is not correct. All decisions are always evaluated. What is happening here is the following:

    1. First decision check if var is equal to 10; If this is the case, it will change to slide 2
    2. Second decision check if var is greater than 10, if it is accurate, it will move on to slide 1. I guess the capPoints1High is ON slide 1?
    3. BUT here's the logic bug: If If is not greater than 10, which is also the case when it is equal to 10, it will change to slide 1, although already, he jumped to slide 2 first with the first decisioin

    Two possible solutions:

    1. decision of the switch 1 and 2 (one easier)
    2. remove the ELSE part of decision 2 and create a decision 3 to check if var is less than 10
  • Failure of the legends and funktionality click right does not work

    Hello
    I have a problem with the publication of my adobe captivate project. I do softwaresimulations and so must my learning to have legends funktionality and right-click to fail. But it does not work on the PDF or SWF file. I already know that I have to go the presets and take off the easy check (sorry, I don't know what you call it in English, in German, it is "Barrierefreiheit"). If this isn't the solution. Today I did an update of captivate and when I publish it now I can open the file called "index" and then it works very well. How can I make it work when I want to publish e-Learning-course on my company Intranet Portal?
    Thank you very much for your help!

    Natalie

    The SWF file is not supposed to be uploaded to a server or LMS as such: when you publish to SWF you get multiple files, not only the SWF file. Click right feature is integrated into the JS-companion file. You have to start the file HTML (same name as the name of the project), which called the JS file (and possibly the file dependent on the CSS version) and then launch the SWF file. Did you follow this workflow?

    You must uncheck "Accessibility" to provide right click functionality.

  • Quiz number by clicking anywhere does not work

    I'm having one of those days (weeks). If a learner answers the question incorrectly, quiz by clicking on 'Anywhere', as indicated by the default caption does not work. Of course, they can click the next button of the question or the forward navigation button, but that brings up a problem of instructions quiz... How a learner knows click Next if they answer incorrectly and everywhere or the next button if they respond correctly.

    You'll usually get Feedback captions for the success and failure which will include these instructions.  Something like the following is sufficient: "Incorrect.  Click anywhere on the screen to continue. "I use it all the time.

    If your users are not be allowed to continue after answering a question correctly then the most likely reason is that you have allowed several attempts and Captivate is patiently for them to have another go at the same question.

  • Captivate preloader 7 not working - with screen capture for clarity

    Hello community,

    so, I work in the trial version of Captivate 7, because the preloader for 6 Captivate does not work for me. We have a project of ~ 48MB with mp3 on almost all of the slides, videos, flash animations, flash, quizzes and lots of JPEG files.

    Before that we publish the project ensure we click on everything that is necessary, but because it doesn't always I took screenshots of all parameters. Maybe I'm missing something, I'd appreciate your help.

    I assume here that your preloader animation appears at least when you load the file so that you KNOW it works.

    Try to set your preloader gradually higher until you find the percentage during which loading times are beginning to RISE again.  If you have a lot of videos in your project, setting the preloader to a value very low as 10% is not necessarily affect the load times that much because Captivate needs to load a total of assets number until he could start playing anyway.  It is possible that you have a huge video great event right soon after the start of the project and this is what is causing the delay.

    If your question is always with the preload does not appear NOT at all, the only parameters that affect it are those on preferences > project > start and end > path Preloader and percentage.  The path that seems to be fine, but if the preloader animations are not visible at all, try to change a different preloader.  Maybe SOME of them work.  The preloader Default.swf is generally reliable.

  • Interactions of YouTube widget does not work in Cp7

    I was still not able to take advantage of the new functionality of the widget YouTube pre-built Interaction. When I try to test the YouTube video in the dialog box, I get a 404 not found error message. I get the same result if I publish the video in any case (I did in case there was a problem connecting internally on my computer). I use Mac OS x (server) Mountain Lion - computer brand new. I tried with the firewall turned on and off. I can access the same YouTube page directly without problem. There any video that I use. It just does not load via Cp7. In addition, the widget Web objects works fine. Any Mac users have this problem?

    I solved my problem. I thought that I should just copy / paste the link youtube gives you when you click on the button share. However, this does not work for me. If I copied the URL of the browser (which includes watch? v =) then it worked. However, I am disappointed that the button fullscreen is not available in Captivate, but it's still a very interesting feature.
