• Control embedded Captivate SWF project

  I have a Captivate 8 project that use Flash based fund sovereign and Captivate swf embedded on the slides. I need to be able to insert a button following inside the SWF embedded which will control the project to go to the next slide. The progress bar and the following buttons have been removed from the PlayBar, because users must fill the SWF properly actions in order to move.

  If I understand correctly,

  you have used captivate to create your interactive exercise and published

  then you took the swf and embarked on one of the slides in captivate 'Voulu2 '.

  and now you want your exercise interactive, once completed, make the 'voulu2' to go to another slide

  If this is the case, you can add a flash button to the interactive exercise using the solution in the link I posted above to access variables with one major change... the determination of the scope of where to find the captivateVariables should be like this:

  FOR THE SOVEREIGN FUND DONE WITH CAPTIVATE

  captivateVariables = object (parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent) .getMovieProps (.variablesHandle);

  and then just make a flash button to do this:

  someButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, isClicked);

  function isClicked(e:MouseEvent) {}

  var theSlideYouWantToGoTo = 2;

  captivateVariables.cpCmndGotoSlideAndResume = theSlideYouWantToGoTo - 1;

• Captivate Quiz, tip Action recovery 6

  Hello

  I use advanced in Captivate 5.5 action below to ignore questions early in the course of operations which do not appear in the final quiz once you hit the button Retake Quiz. Basically, I place this fast action on the first slide of no reportable matter appearing in the course and it jumps to the first quiz question to report when you press the Retake Quiz. But I find that it doesn't work in Captivate 6. Nobody knows what could happen here or maybe a better solution? Thanks in advance.

  

  For anyone looking at this topic: it is not really necessary to have a combined AND in the condition action. When an attempt to Quiz starts, the variable cpQuizInfoAttempts of quiz is incremented immediately. So to change the first line when 'cpQuizInfoAttempts' is greater than 1 and delete the second line didn't work for me. The value of cpInfoLastVisitedSlide has no added value.

• Captivate 4 project files can be opened in Captivate 5?

  I was wondering if captivate 4 project files can be opened in captivate 5? I know that captivate 2 project files cannot.

  Thanks guys,.

  Kya.

  Hello and welcome to the forum (see this is your first assignment).

  Normally there is no problems opening files-CP4 CP5 to: they will be converted, including the advanced actions (if any) and AS3 if the CP4 was AS2 as CP5 only supports AS2. I had only a few rare problems with these conversions.

  ATTENTION: you will not be able to open the converted file in CP4 more. As always, be sure to keep the original files stored somewhere safely.

• 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.

• Is it possible to turn the dilemma 2 projects (.2qn file extension) in Adobe Captivate 8 projects? I tried to save the embarrassing situation in a text file, but Captivate wouldn't import correctly.

  Is it possible to turn the dilemma 2 projects (.2qn file extension) in Adobe Captivate 8 projects? I tried to save the embarrassing situation in a text file, but Captivate wouldn't import correctly.

  Hello

  I've never seen such a method. I think you will find that you must simply recreate your dilemma inside Captivate project and forget all means of import.

  The only thing that comes to mind would be to import the project dilemma in PowerPoint. (Assuming that such a thing exists) then import the PPT in Captivate. But you wouldn't be able to make everything connect.

  See you soon... Rick

• Tumble button in project action Captivate 8 reactive

  Hello

  I'm new to Captivate 8. I want to set up a tumbling action to change the text in a text box. So, when they roll each button, they can see the action that the button will perform. I created two image buttons and activated rollover; but I am unable to tell how to set the text variable to the value of the rolled button. I am unable to find action "stand" in the script of the advanced actions. In researching this issue, I see various statements indicating that this cannot be accomplished, but the help text Adobe escapes to this fact it is possible. I can't create a slidelet, because this option is shaded on.

  Thank you

  Peter

  Elements of bearings (captions, images, slidelets) are not supported for HTML5 output, of course that means that they are not supported for reactive nature projects. It is simply not possible.

• Captivate 6 - Advanced action does not work in the project?

  Hello

  I use 6 Captivate. In my project I have a common slide2 which is called when clicking on the two different buttons (C1 and C2). Slide 2 contains several objects, saying Text1, text 2, 1 button, and Button2.

  Slide 5 I have a C1, I defined the on success action: execute advanced actions

  Script: If CPIntoCurrent Slide is equal to 5

  Action:

  Go to slide 2

  See the Text1

  See the Button1

  Hide Text2

  See the Button2

  Similar action has been set to C2 (slide 8) redirecting to slide 2 showing the Text2 and Button2, hiding other objects.

  These scripts where works fine, until I installed a patch on the adobe site. The patch was intended to display the video correctly in the PDF when selected the option display the table of contents.

  But unfortunately he's completely unbalanced the script of existing projects. I also tried to uninstall completely and fresh install Adobe Captivate, but not luck .

  Help, please.

  @Rod and with a concern for users of later versions (I'm not sure 6, this version did more) 6.

  It is perfectly possible to show/hide objects of an 'Advanced' action (not with a simple gesture) that is running on another slide of the slide corresponding to the object. I am certain about it for versions 7 and 8. I have not been much about 6 blogging and was bit sloppy on this release to keep track of all the changes. If you don't believe me (what happens in these forums), CP8 users take a look at the example file Cloudair included with this release: the action advanced in the first slide shows/hides objects anywhere in the file based on the information of the new cpInfoGeoLocation of system variables.

  Rod, I see you post this comment often, I just wanted to add these details. As I explained that I don't know when this change occurred (6.1 is my suspicion, but cannot test). In CP5 you could hide objects that have been timed for the rest of the project on a slide different than its original location. Since 5.5, you might also show this type of object.

• Captivate 8 sensitive advanced project action effect

  Hello

  I am using captivate 8 to create a sensitive project. When I click on a smart form (configured to be a button) I want to run a fast action. In this advanced action, I want to apply an effect of left movement right to an image. How I see the path that takes the image? How can I make this longer or shorter way? The effect does not appear in the effect controls panel.

  Thank you

  Peter

  It's always a very heavy workflow, I'm sorry. I already blogged about this over 4 years ago and although some features of the effects have been improved, not this one.

  Trajectories and custom effects reuse - Captivate blog Edition

  This is the workflow:

  1. Create the desired effect as an effect based on the hour, where you can change the path.
  2. Register as a custom effect, the location is not important, you have to remember.
  3. Remove effect
  4. Apply the effect customized to the object again, you will need to navigate to the location where it is stored.
  5. Remove the effect.
  6. Now that the effect will be shown in the "Custom" from the drop-down list category, when you choose the command effect apply in the dialog of AA.

  Even at the CP9, where effects have been integrated in the timeline panel and live preview is possible, where you can change the duration and start time in the AA, this workflow for paths is always the same when the effects for the first time. At least, it's possible.

  Oops, I just see that this is a sensitive project. I didn't check what is happening in the views of lower breakpoint.

• Adobe Captivate Advanced button Actions shows clicks

  Hello

  I have a question about advanced Actions.

  I have two buttons.

  When I click a button it should disappear.

  After I clicked on the two buttons a third button is displayed.

  How can I do that.

  When I try the third button appears when I click on one of the two buttons and not after I clicked on both.

  Here´s advanced action I have for one of the two buttons that must disappear:

  __________________________________________

  Assign [variable_button1] with 1

  disappear [button1]

  Then a related action:

  IF

  [variable_button1 = 1

  [variable_button2] = 1

  ACTION

  Show Button3

  ON THE OTHER

  Break

  ____________________________________________

  I m sorry if there is something is not right. I have found no translation from German to English in adobe Captivate.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Kind regards

  Alex

  I suspected this to be the case. No, all shares advanced/shared in Captivate are event-driven. The conditional action will never be executed. I have a lot of examples on my blog for this use case, but post-it (yet) in this thread. BTW: I understand German (I'm Flemish) but do not dare to write in German.

  In a conditional action, you can have several decisions, which are all executed in the order: orders are from top to bottom, are decisions from the left to the humble. You will need to integrate the standard and the conditional action in a conditional action to be triggered by the buttons. Now that you have only one decision (indicated as "Unnamed" and choice in your screenshot), this decision should be the second decision. You don't need to put anything in the ELSE part, but I still don't know the break of the buttons, reason why I asked for a screenshot of the timeline. Your conditional action should look like this (sorry for the English terminology).

  The decision to "Always" 1 I like to cite the decisions and everything in my projects

  IF 1 is equal to 1

  Assign the v_button1 with 1

  Disable Button1

  Hide Button1

  See the Group1

  No Else part for this decision, you must edit the double button 2

  Decision 2 "CheckIt".

  IF v_button1 is equal to 1 AND

  v_button2 is equal to 1

  See the Bt_Next

  Select Bt_Next

  Joint actions are not possible because the variables are used in the two decisiobns.

• Captivate 4 - Advanced - Actions buttons Pause/Play

  HI - so I created a 2 buttons - a pause and play - so my users can implement pause/play my captivate video (slide audio and real). I created my 2 variables for the buttons and I created my Advanced action. I am affect my break to "rdcmndPause", hide break, exhibit. And I'm assigning play "rdcmndResume", hide the piece, see the break. It does not work. The play/pause buttons appear and disappear as they should - but my project is not a pause or play. Any thoughts?

  I'm not very good with AS3, but try this, removed some of your code and added a little ;-) worked OK for me

  PauseButton.visible = true;

  PlayButton.visible = false;

  PlayButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, hidePlay);

  PauseButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, hidePause);

  function hidePlay (event: MouseEvent): void {}

  PauseButton.visible = true;

  PlayButton.visible = false;

  MovieClip (this.parent.parent) .rdcmndResume = 1;

  }

  function hidePause (event: MouseEvent): void {}

  PauseButton.visible = false;

  PlayButton.visible = true;

  MovieClip (this.parent.parent) .rdcmndPause = 1;

• Why my Captivate 8 project will not preview or publish?

  I created this project from a template that was given to me by a recruiter. It was created in Captivate 7. When I click on preview, I have a process wheel that never solves. When I post, I click on Yes in the preview dialog box, but nothing happens. I tried to open it after publication and I get a blank page without error message.

  The platform is Mac OS 10.11.6. I don't see anything unusual in the file. It simulates the software with screenshots, audio and mouse action, followed with screenshots and hot spots. Nothing I have not done many times before. The only difference is the model.

  Ideas?

  Problem solved! The question has nothing to do with the platform, at least not directly. The issue is that Mac requires a special Java Update specifically for existing programs. It had been installed, but my hard drive failed and I have installed a new. Update alert was quietly sitting somewhere on my computer. When I noticed it yesterday, I installed it, restarted, and everything worked.

  The lesson is, when you install a new hard drive, make sure that all the pesky java updates are in place.

• JavaScript in Captivate 9 project does not run

  I tried for hours to get little JavaScript inside an Adobe Captivate 9 (published in SWF and HTML5), deployed to a web server public project, to run. For help troubleshooting, I wrapped in various stages of the script with console.log ("status"); and even those who are not running.

  A demonstration project file is located here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6787201/Test%20Interaction%20Data%20HTML5/Test-Interac tion - Data .cptx

  If you look at the JavaScript window, you will notice there is a function call to sendInteractionData();

  This is a custom function to trigger the data in various Captivate variables in a Google spreadsheet, I wrote. It is contained in the index.html page I change after publication. I tested this feature and it works when the values are explicitly defined and sendInteractionData() is called from a static web site... but when it is embedded in the code JavaScript of Captivate, no luck.

  If you are interested, here is the code I have insert to support the sendInteractionData() function:

  Configuration section

  Paste the URL of the WEB service (obtained after you run the command POST > DEPLOY AS WEB APP) in the variable below!

  var WebServiceURL = "mywebserviceurl";

  Do not edit below this line, unless you intend to change the inner workings of the script

  Declaring variables

  var FirstName;

  var name;

  var Email;

  var attribute;

  Function to send data to interaction in the Google spreadsheet. This function must be called by the Captivate player after setting the variables above.

  function sendInteractionData() {}

  Get and set the relevant data from the Captivate player

  FirstName = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue('cpFirstName');

  LastName = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue('cpLastName');

  Email = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue ('cpEmail');

  Attribute = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue ('cpAttribute');

  Send the data to the Google map via AJAX call

  request = $.ajax({)

  URL: WebServiceURL,

  type: 'post',

  data: "FirstName =" + FirstName + "& LastName =" + LastName + "& Email = ' + Email + ' & attribute ="+ attribute.

  });

  Reminder Manager who will be called to success

  Request.Done (function (response, textStatus, jqXHR) {}

  Save a message to the console

  Console.log ("wrote interaction data sheet: FirstName =" + FirstName + "& LastName =" + LastName + "& Email =" + Email + "& attribute =" + attribute + "/ / Message: success!");

  });

  Reminder Manager who will be called if an error occurs

  Request.Fail (function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {}

  Logs the error in the console

  Console.Error)

  "Interaction data could not be saved: FirstName =" + FirstName + "& LastName =" + LastName + "& Email = ' + Email + ' & attribute = ' + attribute + ' / / The following error occurred: ' +"

  textStatus, errorThrown

  );

  });

  }

  PS - declaration of a Google spreadsheet should really be standard features now...

  Thanks for your help.

  You really use the listener attached to the window module ready event to ensure that the API is present.

  var interfaceObj, eventEmitterObj;

  window.addEventListener ("moduleReadyEvent", function (e)
  {
  interfaceObj = e.Data;
  eventEmitterObj = interfaceObj.getEventEmitter ();
  initializeEventListeners();
  });

  function initializeEventListeners()

  {

  If (interfaceObj)

  {

  If (eventEmitterObj)

  {

  window.cpAPIEventEmitter.addEventListener ("CPAPI_VARIABLEVALUECHANGED", function)

  {

  sendInteractionData(); }, 'cpAttribute '.

  );

  }

  }

  }

• Captivate 9: project offshoot freezes and no longer preview or publish

  Hello

  I have a captivate project 9, with branching activated. Whenever I went to preview or publish the project it crashes, on slides at random.

  The branching is created using advanced actions of "go to...". "and I have tried editing to HTML5, SWF and both.

  I even enabled scalability, tested on different browsers and tried a load of different patches!

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hannah

  You said branch never updated before, so I didn't know who was involved.

  I came across several issues where conscious branch comes into conflict with other parameters of such Captivate that submit all the and other options quiz.

  If conscious Branch participated in this issue and turn it off has advantages, then I would say that your actual issue is somewhere in your quiz slides, or perhaps with the pre-test if you have one.

• Adobe Captivate Advanced - 8 Actions trigger an event after that audio connected to a button has finished playing

  Hi all.  I use Adobe Captivate 8 on Windows.  I have a slide that has 2 buttons.  The buttons are placed in advanced actions, when you click on it to play an audio file and display the text, and then set the variable key 1, clicked.  The button are similar functions and can be clicked in any order.  When you click on the two buttons, I need to read an audio of conclusion.

  My problem is that once the second button is clicked, select what action starts immediately, as the two buttons were clicked and the condition is now filled.  I need to finish reading the audio second-clicked the button before she turns to the next action, and no matter what I try it doesn't work!  Major frustration!  If you need me to post any screen shots, please let me know.  Thanks in advance,

  Mike

  You must use conditional Actions, not simple actions.  With a Standard action or conditional button does not automatically frees the timeline AFTER it has been clicked.

  You must also configure the tracking variables so that your conditional Action will be able to determine whether or not the two buttons were clicked and that's why the audio file should be placed accordingly.

  Take a look at this tutorial on creating dynamic menu slides:

  The basics are really quite the same.
