Captivate files, as long as & quot; damaged & quot; -2

Hello everyone.

I have a cp file was last edited 8/21.
I made a backup of all the Captivate 2 projects before moving on to Captivate 3.

I opened the project and it doesn't matter if I choose overwrite it or save as option, the following 2 messages is received.

Exeption Occored [\num]
"Adobe Captivate cannot open filename.cp because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded)."


This file has never been e-mailed or opened from a network drive. The file lives directly on the PC.
It is the only project that did not open properly.

Does anyone have one suggestion, another that recreate the evidence of the generated output?

Thank you for your imput.
JMS

For anyone interested.

I ended up reloading Captivate 2.
At the same time, I opened Captivate 2 and 3.
I then could copy the slides from Captivate 2 and paste in Captivate 3.

After that everything was copied to Captivate 3 and I checked everything was working, I uninstalled 2 & 3 and reinstalled 3.
Everything works now.

  • Captivate files, as long as & quot; damaged & quot;

    Hi all

    I was working on someone other files and had to use his PC to do. She has copied files to the bottom of the network and I worked on them on his local PC in standalone mode (off-grid). Now, when she tries to open *.cp files, it gets the error:

    "Adobe Captivate cannot open filename.cp because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded)."

    She has Captivate 2 on his PC. The files were never sent the is not the cause. There are 6 of them, it seems a little weird that they would all get corrupted at the same time. Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you

    No, I don't use Captivate 3. I used his PC so that I could edit in the same version - Captivate 2.

    On a whim, I told him to move the files to another location, and then open them from there. It worked. This must have something to do with us using two different user accounts. I was not confronted this problem initially because she copied down from a network drive.

    She had recently upgraded to C2 C1. This version looks really buggy. If we had known that C3 was just around the corner, I certainly would have told him to wait.

    Thanks for your reply.

  • Optimization of captivate file for different screen resolution

    Hello

    I have a problem to optimize the file captivate for different screens such as laptop, netbook and pc. PC and laptops, this isn't a major problem, as the size of the screen is great. But when you play the swf file captivate generated in a netbook, the entire site gets resized to fit the resolution of the screen with the exception of the captivate file. Captivate file is truncated so that the user can read only half of the slide.

    Thanks in advance

    Parvathy

    One thing you can try is to manually adjust the dimensions of the swf.  I have not found a way to do in first grade.  We had a similar with a few eLearning problem, that we have built all our testers used very well.  But once someone undocked their laptop and turned their desktop monitor, had the same problem you describe, where the background of the film was cut.

    Once you publish the files, open the file .htm with Notepad or your editor of choice text/html.

    Look for a line that looks like this:

    var so = new SWFObject (strURLFile + strURLParams, "seduce", "1100", "798", "10", "#CCCCCC");

    or

    var so = new SWFObject ("filename.swf", "Captivate", "1600", "1200", "10", "#CCCCCC");

    Change these numbers quotes at 100%, like this:

    var so = new SWFObject ("filename.swf", "Captivate", "100%", "100%", "10", "#CCCCCC");

    Save the .htm

    My experience was it will adjust the swf to fit the height or the width of the screen, depending on which is more short.  In other words, it either will fill the top down OR sideways, but keep the swf in proportion.

    hope that helps.

  • You can embed audio and video in a captivate file?

    I was wondering if it is possible to incorporate audio and video into a captivate slideshow files somehow so that no sidecar files are needed?

    or do I always have to keep separate files mp3 and flv related the long side of the captivate file?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    It's a pleasure. Thanks to the development of the issue.

    You don't have to get the audio files or viseo everywhere. Once you have inserted the files in Captivate, you need only to take the rest of the file .cptx files will remain in the project.

    I hope this helps!

    Thank you!

  • Media guide Center no longer updates and recent files no longer get listed on the jump list

    How can I fix Windows Media Center without reinstalling Windows

    I have several problems with my Windows Media Center since I moved files stored on another drive TV.wtv, although I can't be sure it was the movement that caused the problems. It is not the first time, I moved files TV registered to other readers and never had any problems before that for 2 more years, I use WMC.

    Here are the problems I've found so far:

    1. the Guide listings are no longer up-to-date. I can manually download updates without error, but the ads do not appear in the Guide.

    2 related Media Center system tray buttons make their appearance is no longer in the system tray. Even when a program is recording, there is no button red, hidden or visible, in the system tray.

    3. these last files no longer appear in the list of Media Center shortcuts in the Start Menu. The only item that appears on the list of shortcuts is 'TV Program Guide', which, as I said to the #1 updates any more.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64

    The processes that appear to be related to the program are running are:

    ehtray.exe
    mcGlidHost.exe
    ehrecvr.exe

  • 8. do not open the Captivate files

    I lost so many hours on this today so I really hope you guys can help me! I have two Captivate 8 and 9 installed on my Mac and they both worked perfectly well even not later than yesterday. Now when I try to open a Captivate 8 he finished the process of opening with the exception of the file is not on the screen. The file is open (as in, I can't open in Captivate 9 as it is already open) I'm not.

    So here's what I know so far:

    I have tried several different files in Captivate 8 and all had the same problem.

    I tried the same files in Captivate 9 and they open smoothly.

    It seems that if the file opens "off screen" which I know can be a problem with Mac s when you use two screens as I am. I tried every single problem I could find for it but none of them have worked.

    When I open the Captivate 8 opening with recent docs screen shows fine. When I choose a file it has the file loading screen and I get even the message on some elements are not used, but after that there is nothing.

    I tried upgrading my operating system is all that far.

    I reinstalled 8 Captivate.

    I also lost my will to live.

    Please help me! Anyone had this before? How did you solve this problem?

    (I need 8 and 9 that I have clients who are still on 8 and some that are on 9)

    Hi Lilybiri, I have just finally he fixed after 8-10 hours to try everything! You were certainly on the right track with the issue of preferences. Cordially if someone else asks, I went to ~/Library/Preferences and deleted both the plist for captivate file and a folder called Captivate 8

    I had deleted the file yesterday but not the folder so it had not worked.

    Such a relief to work again! Thanks for your help.

  • Add a blank slide PowerPt inside the Captivate file.

    I have 10 windows, using Captivate 8 subscription. I imported a PowerPoint in Captivate.  I added a new slide in PowerPoint. Then I went to the Captivate file and choose Edit with presentation of MS PowerPoint/Edit it shows fine as indicated in was, but after I click Save, slide 2 is empty as seen in B.  I also used find library and right click to update. Same results, a blank slide in Captivate file.  Confused. Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance.

    CP8 AFAIK is not defined as compatible with Win10, only CP9 finds itself in this situation.

    There is a lot of animations on this slide? To be honest: Captivate is not the best converter PPT at all, why do you use for this? Is an e-Learning authoring tool, I would never that developed in PPT: you can use the assets of PPT as Fund of images, but please create animations in CP.  You use high fidelity when importing? Other slides look much more static.

I gained 9 Captivate and explored and made some changes to modules of existing learning initially designed in captivate 5, but save these changes 9 Captivate doesn't not usable in Captivate 5 again. I just want to know if there is a work around that I networked with a group of learning professionals who use captivate 5 and I want to review changes in the e-learning facts 9 Captivate files.

    Hope the logical question, any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Not possible, sorry. You will never be able to open the CP9 files in version 5.

  • Opening of a newer version of the Captivate file with an older version

    Hello

    Can someone explain the basic rule about open projects that were created with a different version of Captivate.

    For example - I work with version 5.5 and if someone sends me a project created with v7 or v8 or v9 (although there's a v9), I will be able to open them?

    Even - if I send to someone who has the v7, v8, v9, will a project I created with v5.5 - be able to open it?

    Thanks a lot for a (simple) explanation.

    You can open a file created with an earlier version to a newer version, but you'll be never sure that it will work as expected, especially if you skip several versions. Answer to your second example is YES BUT!

    It is not possible to open a file created in a newer version with a previous version, has never been possible with Captivate files. Response to your first example is no.

  • Open one & quot; help & quot; WebHelp file from a Webhelp & quot; Library & quot;?

    Trying to figure out how to set a 'framework = _blank' Webhelp 'help file' accessed from another WebHelp file...

    I was asked to move the part "Overview and help" of my merged WebHelp (which is actually a "document library" not help for an application) so that 'overview and help' is accessible from one > Help button < on the toolbar of the original skin (library) WebHelp.

    Very well, I thought, I'll use a .chm! I thought. I did exactly that. Creates a new help, changed button part overview and aid in a file chm and she goes by adding the button to the navigation bar in the main file of WebHelp (library).

    It works fine, but - here are the best - only on my PC ! I found out that our friend Microsoft ruined things for the use of a chm on a network.

    Back to square one, recreated the "overview and help" file from WebHelp. Now what? This one has me baffled. There must be a way to call the second file (help) WebHelp early (library) WebHelp by using the help button on the navigation and opened it in * a new window *! Right now, by clicking the button help duplicates the toolbar in the topic pane, and that's it. I tried to adjust the _blank in the .skn file and it was good. (Lucky me, I have backups.)

    Anyone have any ideas? I can handle the addition of a javascript script if anyone has one that I can use.

    Thanks in advance!

    That's what I was going to head to when you confirmed that you were trying to do what I thought.

    I was also going to add the next bit. You must just the relative path from the project relative to the homepage of the child. Something like

    mergedProjects/child_one/startpage.htm

    After back if this does not work.
