• Certificate and SCORM reporting in Captivate 5 Widget

  I tried to make the notebook of Moodle (1.9) report correctly SCORM 1.2 results without success. In desperation I realized the project using a certificate widget, but I can't get that to work either! Please can someone direct me to a working solution? I tried the fix mentioned by Xeon64 here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3867196#3867196 but when I try to use the widget I get an error message «invalid widget» I would prefer not to have to rebuild the entire project a third time in Captivate 4, which seemed to work ok for me.

  A working solution will save you an eternal gratitude to a desperate ID!

  Most of the settings look good.  But I would suggest using Pass/Fail instead of complete/incomplete.

  I'm assuming you are using SCORM 1.2 not 2004.  Support for SCORM 2004 in Moodle was frowned upon, I used Captivate SCORM 1.2 modules in Moodle 1.9 x before with good results.

  If you have dozens of students to access course content at the same time, you would be well advised to try the HTM model which only send the scores to the endd.  This will significantly reduce the load on the Moodle server.

• Not dreaded 'a valid Widget' error

  Hi people,

  I get the error 'Not a Widget valid' dreaded when I try to import my Flash (CS5 Professional) as a widget in my Captivate 5 project. I did my research on this problem and find a previous post of mouloud copying the AS3\static ActionScript in the first frame of the Flash file regarding:

  http://forums.adobe.com/message/3614964

  However, I don't get enough details exactly where past this actionscript in Flash.

  Is this really the solution? Even for the latest version of the software, fully updated? If that is the solution, I'll have to do every time I build a Flash widget?

  Very much appreciate your help,

  Roger

  You should only use the widgets if you want:

  • manipulate features of Captivate module during execution
  • provide configuration options to the widget user so that they can change how the widget will interact with Captivate runtime
  • provide interactivity
  • create a new type of question slide

  If all you want to do is have something to animate, then a simple animation SWF created in Flash and imported into Captivate will do generally well.

  For best results, just make sure that you have all the animation unfolding on the main timeline in Flash, not buried down inside a symbol.

• Script for garbage collection in Captivate 4 Widgets?

  Hi guys and girls

  I'm having a problem with some custom widgets that I made. I have a number of widgets on every slide in my project (which are reused on each slide) and they work fine... BUT I noticed that when the project is published and played the executable starts eats more RAM. I noticed that the EXE eats more RAM at the beginning of each slide and never decreases.

  I think what is happening is that even though im using the same widget on each slide, Captivate load a new instance of the widget to each new slide and no garbage collection on the previous slide widgets. Does anyone know of an ActionScript command in order to solve this problem? Or a work around?

  A question for adobe... Do you know the guys on this problem? and if yes, do you intend to fix in an update?

  See you soon

  Aquil0

  Hi Aquilo,

  The reason for the consumption of RAM is usually because something in your code has not been unloaded, always raises an event or a timer still work and Captivate continues to run and store it in memory, despite a change of the slide or the off-screen image disappear.

  Best option is to add a feature to "unload" to your flash widget that will destroy everything.

  Here is an example applied to a loader (Actionscript 3) object

  loader.addEventListener (Event.UNLOAD, unLoadHandler);

  function unLoadHandler(event:Event):void {}

  Kill the charger

  var loader: Loader = Loader (event.target);
  Loader.Unload ();
  Charger = null;

  Remove event listeners

  this.removeEventListener ("onEnterFrame", onEnterFrame);
  this.loader.removeEventListener (Event.UNLOAD, unLoadHandler);

  Stop all timers

  Timer.Stop ();
  }

  Note how I put the "loader", NULL, after unloading it - this will ensure it comes out of the memory, as Flash Player 9 has an error where it won't completely remove something of memory, although it is being unloaded.

  Hope that helps.

• Certificate in Captivate 9 Widget

  Captivate used to have a certificate Widget. Captivate 9, in the Gallery > Widgets folder, there is a folder "CertificateWidget". In this folder is a folder "com." Within the 'com' folder is a folder "textformatter. The folder "textformatter" has nothing in it! There seems to be some other missing widgets as well.

  Why can't I access the certificate Widget in Captivate 9?

  Because you are supposed to use the Interaction of training. They should be more compatible with HTML output, are in a different subfolder of the gallery. But you are supposed to use the copy installed in public Documents. Use big button Interactions. I have blogged about their, the article has a link to a descriptive table of training interactions:

• Adobe Captivate learning widget interactions plays not published not in MP4

  I'm new to Captivate (this is only my third Captivate project) and have created a 9 Captivate presentation which was originally intended to be navigated manually during a discussion.  They loved the presentation so they want to make a video that will automatically play.  The problem that I am running is that the interaction of training widgets I've included work wonderfully in .exe (where they are manually sailed) but does not display the ancillary content when I publish the project in mp4 format.  (the final product must be in mp4 format)

  I don't know miss me some simple editing or sync settings.

  (Please don't tell me that it is impossible that I need to )

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  You don't always tell on what "interactions of training" you're talking about? If these are interactions like accordion, tabs, pyramid... you might consider these slides to record while you interact with them, using the video feature of Captivate demo. Such a cpvc-slide can be inserted into a cptx project.

• Captivate 9 Widgets are not Compatible HTML5 am using a sensitive project and Widgets work Firefox not IE 11

  Hello

  I have 9 Captivate and I use embedded Captivate widgets (not those using assets). I created my project as a project that is sensitive to be able to display in the form of tablets. Captivate told me the widgets are not compatible HTML5. When I publish on my LMS, I can see the widgets and to interact with the course on my laptop via Firefox, but I do not see the widgets in IE 11. Is there a way to get around this, or I must say to my people to download another browser to use my course?

  You need not create a project as a receptive simply to play on tablets or mobile devices.

  If widgets are known to be NOT HTML5 compatible, it is better to not use them at all.  IE11 usually works with the release of HTML5 in Captivate, but your widgets are probably not going to work in this case.

• Cannot download Captivate 8 - application error

  When I try to download 8 Captivate for Windows 64-bit by using the Akamai Download Manager, I get a window that says "error during request processing". I checked in Chrome and Firefox and received the same error message. I saw there is another method for downloading, but I don't know what to do with it, and I feel that the use of Akamai is the best situation. Any suggestions? I'm pretty basic, it will help if you explain things at a level enough end. thank you.

  Download directly from the pop-up window if you encounter a problem of akamai.

  You can dl directly from adobe using the window pop-up or prodesigntools.com

  If you follow the 7 steps you can directly download a free trial here: Adobe Captivate 8 Direct download links: free trials with no Akamai | ProDesignTools

  and activate it with your serial number.

  If you have a problem from the download, you follow the 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.

  the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow the steps 1, 2, and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system, allowing you to download the correct version of the adobe.com site).

  failure to obtain this cookie translates into an error page displayed after clicking on a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (e.g., current) version.

• Captivate 7 fatal error

  -It takes a long time to start (more long than all other Adobe products [CC] on my machine)

  -Once started, it is generally insensitive to any other command that 'start a blank project to 1024 x 768' and even the success of this is pretty hit and Miss

  -C' is essential, if it does not start in screenshot mode, I am able to set up to start recording and it Countdown to start recording and blocked then immediately gives me this error message:

  
  

  «A fatal error has occurred and the application is completed.» "Adobe Captivate files attempted to save all your work in the respective as project files".cpbackup ".

  Please restart Adobe Captivate'.

  -J' also have the above message if to various and random moments so I can get the program to open the mode blank project.

  I'd like to be able to build slides in Captivate, but I need to be able to use to record my screen for of the training videos. It is the inability to do so is causing me to doubt the reliability of the program and reliability.

  Make sure you have a backup copy is enabled in preferences.

  Try to hide the two Rails that have accordions and then save and close (to preserve your copy of the cache is at least).  Open again, then Save Close to make sure that the backup copy is kept. If you get no error of this, continue.

  If you keep getting fatal errors with showing accordions then consider how you entered the text inside.  Do you have it copied a Word doc or another application that may have hidden formatting characters? If so, delete all the text of accordions, copy it into Notepad to remove formatting characters that could have been copied in there and try to paste the text back in.

  If fatal errors persist, go further and remove any unusual punctuation.  Sometimes they cause errors.

• Captivate 8 widget printing does not print in landscape. impressions full resolution of the project and not only the certificate?

  I'm new to Captivate and am responsible to learn how to use Captivate 8.  I must add a certificate of completion at the end of my project and have a lot of questions for which I can't find answers! Please, if anyone can answer these:

  (1) I don't want the certificate to print up to that score the quiz reaches a specific minimum - for example, you need a score of 80% or more to print a certificate.  How do I do this with the print widget?

  (2) the certificate to print without the slide background and resolution of the project - in other words, I want only the image of certificate (with text added for name box) to print in LANDSCAPE, without the user having to do all the settings on their end (choose the landscape to portrait with their printer).  How is this accomplised?

  (3) I want a date on the certificate - how can I add this specific item?

  Without a widget of certificate and the use of Flash with this version, I'm confused as to how exactly Captivate offers the ability to print certificates?  I don't know of HTML5 and am uneven with Javascript.  Why a feature such as certificates and the ability to print them would be something illegal?  No tutorials, no clear advice exactly get this popular feature of development of training material.  Me think there should be MUCH easier to achieve, but I am confused at this point.

  The solution I found is this:

  Do not use the printing of 8 Captivate widget. It simply does not work the way it should be able to work.  Unless you are able to scripts in Actionscript 2.0 and have access to an old version of Captivate, there is no way to work around this bug.

  The problem I found is 8 Captivate will allow you only to use Actionscript 3.0 in Flash; You can open the widget in Flash, but you MUST open through Captivate first if you intend to use in Captivate.  So, once you open the widget for adjustments through Captivate, it automatically selects AS 3.0 as scripting language to use, no choice is available.  IF you have Captivate 7 or less, however, it allows you to script in AS 2.0.  I didn't, so I can't help you in the widget script.

  What I ended up doing was, I made my own certifcate in Photoshop, saved as a. PNG and added to the last page. Using the internal encoding of Captivate I said the program just go to slide if the quiz was successful.

  Print: Go to the fenΩtre > Skin Editor.  On the left are boxes to check the playback bar options - check out 'Show the Playback Control' and then choose your theme. In the drop-down list, choose 'print '.  If you don't want to do anything else on the playback bar, then select the items; Choose where you want the PlayBar to show (I chose the bottom and down to the Center). See below:

  

  You can see the icons on the bottom, in the Center.  The icon on the left is the button print.  It works well, it can be to make choices print in your local print dialog box.  I have to tell him of the landscape print, for example, otherwise, it prints portrait and too small.  But this does not work, and it solves the problem of non-working widgets impression.
