• Captivate 6 fail to export the project captions and subtitles

  Hello.

  I am using Captivate 6.1.0.319 on Windows 7.

  I have audio on my slides and captioning is selected on each slide, but when I export (file > > export > > project captions and subtitles), none of the text closed captioning is in the Word document.

  Most of the legends project appear, but not all of them.

  I've already renamed my preferences to OLD file to force the preferences to refresh.

  Any other suggestions?

  Thank you

  Never mind.

  This seems to be a problem with corruption of files.

  The I'm working today with a particular file was initially created in Captivate 4.

  I opened another project that I created charges last month, and he has no problem with the export of legends; It works exactly as expected.

  I tried to copy all the slides in the projects that don't export, then paste them into a new project, but that did not help the issue-exporter.

• the location of the PlayBar in Captivate 5.5?

  Based on this tutorial (which is for Captivate 4 so a little different), I did the following:

  1. BlackGlass.fla open in D:\Program Adobe Captivate 5.5\Templates\PlaybackFLA\AS3
  2. inside this fla in a location named clip I added a table personalized with translation and changed the variable pbcBtnTips in the end
  3. He published in D:\Program Adobe Captivate 5.5\Gallery\Widgets\Playbars as BlackGlass_mycustom.swf
  4. restart of Captivate

  However, the widget is not visible in the Widgets Panel. The swf playbar original other widgets in this folder are visible (for example, MACStylePlayBar.swf etc.). At the bottom of the window widgets, there is the 'Browse' button, so I go to my custom widget and click it and nothing changes - no error, but it is still not visible.

  There may be a simpler way to do (to locate the playback bar) or maybe I did something wrong, like publish the widget settings (my settings were Flash Player 9 and AS3). I want just to locate the buttons of the PlayBar.

  Hi Bluefix,

  Unfortunately the information provided by Adobe on 'Custom-Flash playback controls' are just false and incomplete (see here for Captivate 5.5: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/captivate/cp/using/WSc1b83f70210cd101126156ac11c7f147d6b-8000. html). First of all, there is a difference between reading the system control (there is only one by application and it is placed at the bottom) and playback control widgets (you can add as many as you like at any position). Second, the info on the properties of FLA playback control and deployment directories are completely mixed. The SWF file of a playback control system (the one you want to change) must go to [installation directory]-\Gallery\Playbars [language], not in the [installation \Gallery\Widgets\Playbars directory. On the other hand, control playback WIDGETS (those you can import in the widgets Panel) have different properties of FLA: the playback bar has an instance name of playbarMc and is an instance of playbarMc, etc. etc.

  Have fun

• Place the text cursor in the PlayBar

  Hello

  I'm changing the text to hover over the PlayBar buttons. I am using Captivate 7 and I tried to play with the location via Flash options, but given the intructions for Captivate 4 I had no chance. Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  You will need to open a playback bar in Flash and save it under a new name if you wish. ToolTips are in the MovieClip location. They are in a table:

  var pbcBtnTips_ENU:Array = new Array ("Rewind",

  "Back."

  "Play."

  "Pause."

  "Forward."

  "Captioning."

  "Audio on"

  "Sound Off,"

  "Exit."

  '' Information. ''

  "dummy for scratch bar."

  "Table of contents"

  "2 x fast forward speed.

  "4 x fast forward speed.

  "Normal speed."

  'Print');

  Change text in ToolTips and export the movie to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate x64\en_US\Gallery\Playbars\AS3 7. Make sure you that points the editor of skin in the file you just created.

• How is it that Turner Classic Movies (home cable TV) come with captioning, but whenever the same movies are available online (e.g., YouTube), the cc is not always available?

  ONLINE CAPTIONING

  Please explain how is it that about 90 percent of Turner Classic Movies (home cable TV) come with closed captioning, but whenever the same movies are available online (e.g., YouTube), the cc is still unavailable?  Then, of course, there is the possibility of using the Google auto-transcription, which is a sequence of words scrambled for the most part, although I appreciate Google constantly trying to improve the technology on the Internet...  Does anyone know a website of classic movies where appropriate captioning is available?

  Thank you very much.
  Joe

  Hey Joe,

  I suggest you look for the classic movie with subtitling site coded using the closed your favorite search engine.

  You can also upgrade the flash player to the web browser and check.

• Captivate poster presentation perfectly in the computer monitor, but page layout errors occur when projected.

  One of my coaches who reported when she tries to project a presentation of Captivate, it displays perfectly in the computer monitor, but in the projected image, the Table of contents will move to the right and covers the project. Someone at - he heard of that happening before? Any suggestions on how to fix?

  What is the resolution of the project? A separate table of contents or overlay? During which the resolution is all projector? Especially also the aspect ratio? If a Captivate published file must be used in a presentation, I use to convert a pdf interactive: easy to scale and play in full screen. I don't know who published output you use?

  How to solve this problem?

  Update:

  Adobe staff contacted me me and help solve the problem.

  Apparently, the problem is a bug in the 32-bit version of chrome, I was using. So I had to upgrade to the 64-bit version of chrome and the PlayBar colors now seems to be Ok.

• Manual positioning of the buttons of the PlayBar in HTML5

  Hello

  I would use the playback bar with custom buttons placed in Captivate project. I found this article:

  http://blogs.Adobe.com/Captivate/2010/11/playbars-Demystified.html

  who works a lot.

  The only problem is that this does not affect out of HTML5.

  I've read here:

  http://forums.Adobe.com/message/5658453

  I have to edit files another, I managed to locate. I can see how can I change the appearance of the buttons, but I do not see how I could change position or you are ordering.

  Can someone help me with this, please?

  Thank you

  The buttons on the PlayBar to HTML5 is prioritized in the javascript code for Captivate - in CPM.js in the published course content.  The function in question is cp. PB.playBarConstruct.prototype.layoutPlaybar - I replaced this function before in order to establish an order of the various buttons, but it is necessary to examine the code to gain some understanding of what he does.  The code can be substituted in the javascript code for the playback bar to avoid changing the code base of Captivate directly, which is difficult as Adobe no longer provides access to as it is embedded in one of their DLL libraries until it is used in the edition.  Alternatively the code can be corrected, after publication.  It would be useful for Adobe to provide more free and/or documentation about some of this code to allow customers to more easily innovate project-specific improvements.  This became the case largely over the years with Flash, for example with open-sourcing a lot of actionscript libraries and automation using JSX/JSFL.  I hope to calm down the paranoia about competitors and they will realize that being more open is only used to make their products more attractive to developers.  Of course, I say that competition is not better in this regard.  Other things I've done using patch / replaces the time codes of AS3 PlayBar and the HTML5 playback bar are:

  -Added extra buttons

  -Modification of the functionality of the existing buttons

  -Modification of the functionality of the table of contents, for example customization how/when bookmarking occurs - currently a slide gets a bookmark in and out it by default simply

  -Customization of TOC layout page/positioning, for example below the high on vs

  -Customization of the interaction between the playback mode and table of contents, for example the table of contents of closing when the course is in a playback mode, stopping to play the opening of the table of contents and restore when closed, etc.

  -Added disabled States and turning on and off of the taskbar buttons reading based on the State of the course, for example not allowing 'Next' until a slide was seen until the end

  -Fixed the rendering problems of animation in the HTML5 playback, such as issuing endemic where if a blade is cleaned back or rewound after that certain animations have been read and in some cases no matter, there are glitches and glimmers of images to animation in reports incorrect at the beginning of each element animation causing very distracting Visual effects.

  -Adding features to stocks advanced/variables in Captivate.

  I have many customers who have very specific needs and expect professional results, requiring these types of changes if a tool like Captivate should be used.  Customers are more willing to have the developers to use these tools rather than what I've done traditionally with custom Flash and HTML5-coded course.  This always requires a certain custom coding, however most can be developed in Captivate with a few patches applied in the edition.

  I am reluctant to publish these patches, they are a bit specific version Captivate, but many of the so-called widgets are also very specific version.

• Connection works only not with the PlayBar activated

  I am using the branching feature in Captivate 5.5.  I use the reading bar control to allow users to navigate through the course.  Each slide is configured with a click box to pause the slide, forcing users to click on the next button on the playback bar to scroll through the course.

  The ramification of the feature cannot be used with the automatic navigation (timed navigation)?  I really hope I'm missing something simple just to allow the connection to work properly.  Currently, the logic of branch is completely ignored I click in the course.

  I am using Captivate 5.5; Windows XP SP3; THAT IS TO SAY 8

  Thank you

  Jay

  The ramification is on interactivity. So she requires that the user is interacting with the course somehow and that it not be a variety of responses required under what they do.

  If you are using either the interactive objects (click boxes, buttons, text input boxes) that allow the user to make decisions about what direction to take, or else you have advanced conditional actions implemented which are triggered by events drag enter who choose branching based on certain criteria (for example scenarios (, who glides the user saw, or quiz question scores etc.).

  If you just use the PlayBar buttons, these are going only to the break, play, rewind, move to the next or a slide backward.  These don't really give you options of branches because they just move things in a linear way.  You need to design interactive options that create "fork in the road" in some way.

• Aggregator cut the PlayBar

  Some problems with aggregator:

  1. When I publish to the aggregator, the PlayBar at the bottom of my slides is partially cut off.
  2. In the various modules, the HTML background is set to a dark gray. In the aggregator, the background is white.
  3. The project is 800 x 600, but when the aggregator project is displayed in the browser it is several large only.

  Is it possible to control these parameters in the aggregator?

  It seems that Adobe has removed the

  Tags that were inside of thetags in the HTM code.  This is probably why the content of your project is now sitting to the top in the upper left corner.

  The

  tag has been deprecated in the HTML code in any case and a better way to control this would now be via the JS or CSS code.  You can insert CSS code in the HTM model in the folder models of install directory.  Aggregator is probably just using standard.htm model.  (I've never bothered to know who he was.)

  In theory, you SHOULD should not change the background color in the template, because it is supposed to take the place of the user of Captivate interface.  But I seem to remember what is still one of these bugs for a long time that Adobe has never been processed (despite her for years to come.  (Can't see Cp6 right now on my work computer so I do not know if it is now fixed.)

  "In the HTM model theres a part of the BODY tag that says: bgcolor="@SKINCOLOR.

  If you want to hard-code the web page background color, simply insert the hex value of the color in quotes.

• Captivate v6: problem to see the subtitles on YouTube

  Howdy, all:

  I'm dinking autour in Captivate v6.x (upgrade from v5.x soon) and published a training vid on YouTube with captioning in the Captivate file. For any reason closed captioning does not appear, nor I see the default skin - with permit CC - appearing on YouTube as well.

  I suspect that I don't have the appropriate default values activated but I tried several times to set what I thought were good, but not to chance it.

  I would like some advice, here. DRM for your suggestions and help!

  Rich

  Hello

  Videos (.mp4 files) published since Adobe Captivate does not support closed captioning. You need to add separately closed captioning in youtube. YouTube offers an easy way to include subtitles to videos.

  Captions inserted into the Captivate slides are published in the SWF output.

  Kind regards

• What is the best way to customize the skin of the PlayBar?

  Hello

  I need to customize the skin of the PlayBar and put our new totally brand design.

  I know that the default skin files are found under folder Templates. Should I take one of these fla files and customize it with our new model?

  I have another option in my mind, but do not know if it works. I guess I can hide the playback bar and create my own buttons on the stage and in this way can build the scene with my own reading bar control.

  Do you think one is better? I need your comments.

  Thank you
  Erkan

  The question is not so much what you CAN do with buttons in Captivate to replace the PlayBar, but what one MUST do one way or the other.

  It must be remembered as it is currently impossible to add interactive objects such as buttons to master slides or quiz question slides. So if you do not create your own playback bar customized with all the keys you need, you will end up having to replicate the same button, set each slide of your project, which is a lot of buttons to maintain. But then when you get to your quiz slides, you will not be able to add same buttons here.

  So if you have the resources to customize your own reading bar, which seems to be the best option from a perspective of low maintenance.

• Qosmio X 500-fault of screen not covered by the warranty?

  So as said elsewhere the X 500 series has a certain design/manufacturing fault that allows a "shadow" be visible on the entire length of the screen at the height of the taskbar (so don't not visible in windows, but jobs is full screen, like movies, just terrible).

  The attitude of Toshiba is that it is a "limitation of the technology" and not covered by the warranty (which I think is very poor on their part).

  My query is why?

  Given their other 18.4 "models (P500 for example) doesn't seem to have this obvious anomaly, and nor other brands models 18". If it was a limitation of the technology like Toshiba said so surely other models/brands that X 500 would have this anomaly?

  Personally, I think the excuse of "limitation of technology" is just a COP on part Toshibas who do not want to solve the problem on EACH item, I'm sure that the next model (x 600? whatever) will miraculously not the issue and those of us who have decided on Toshiba will continue to say "too bad".

  I searched the net looking for x 500 no descriptions of this "limitation" as we should expect a "limitation of technology" to be as widely reported as their other favorite, the dead pixel but found nothing. It seems this limitation of effects incredibly alone technology Toshiba X 500? Toshiba must think we're gullible.

  My fault however maybe done research, can any that shed light on why only the X 500 has such a terrible mistake and no other models?

  I don't know if this is the right place for these issues.
  It is user forum and I do not think that any of us has access to s secrets Toshiba ;) to see what type of screens are used on the Qosmio X 500.

  I don't know if Qosmio x 500 has new generation screens, but I don't know that Toshiba uses better technology for this model of laptop high-end.
  In the past all Qosmio notebooks are best of the best in all aspects, materials, software and many other software programs.

  Just, I hope not, I am sure, that Toshiba will continue this philosophy for Qosmio range and seems best proof new Qosmio F60.
  I like it a lot but leys see how much it will cost.

• Am I still covered by the Australian consumer law?

  So Hey guys,.

  A year ago I had sent my iPhone 6 in for repairs to the Australia, it turns out had some water damage (Yes getting caught in the rain was so much fun) and that it is the only phone I got what I paid 400 for repairs at the Genius bar. The lady who helped me said that although I bought my Singapore phone, since I paid for repairs in Australia, my phone is now covered by right to Australian consumers for the next 2 years (it's been a year since then). However, recently, I checked my service coverage and he said that my phone is not covered by the Australian consumer law, which is incomprehensible given that told me the Lady at the Genius bar. Has anyone had similar experiences? Or advice on what I should do?

  I ask this because my audio port on my phone has recently became defective, and I need to get my phone fixed accordingly.

  Thank you in advance!

  Not many Australian Consumer Law expert here, maybe check with the Australian?
