• Captivate Flash and javascript to understand

  Hello

  I have a simple requirement in which I need to capture the time a user spends watching a video. I publish a SCORM package with the. SWF option. I have the javascript code that would control the time. I put a button / stop which starts and stops the video and at the same time increases and stops the accumulated time. I need to pass this value to the SCORM package when the user closed the slide window or changes?

  (1) how can I insert a javascript global variable within the overall slide and javascript functions that are called at the start and pause buttons. The variable would be the accumulated time.

  (2) how can I call a JavaScript function from the slide script, (remember it's a flash) and go to the html page? I need to extract the session time accumulated and pass it to the variable session_time SCORM?

  (3) is there a better approach, I'm missing that would accomplish this with more elegance?

  Thanks in advance

  If you put a function in the standard.js file or in the head of the html doc, you should be able to call this function. I would implement a timer in javascript with a function that stops and then restarts.

  I have a blog on how to add a timer countdown custon (www.tlcmediadesign.com) which could be converted to just number.

  If you find the function in the scormdriver.js that the game is the time (function SCORM_SaveTime (intMilliSeconds)), you could add a variable in there that you can set when you write the time and exit the Captivate service tries to write for her.

• Problem with Captivate 8 and SumTotal learning LMS Maestro-

  I get white screen when lance course published under the title of SCORM 2004 using Captivate 8.  All the publication settings are identical to those used with Captivate 7 and all classes of properties and parameters are the same in the LMS as course published using Captivate 7. At the launch of course, instead of the opening of the route screen, a white frame appears showing the playback bar course and LMS navigation bar. Logon screen does not appear until the user clicks on the button play on the PlayBar. No idea why this is happening?  Here is a screenshot of the white frame.

  

  Ron,

  Thanks for the help.  I found a solution for the problem here: HTML5 projects Captivate freezing in Google Chrome, c. 36 + |

  Because it worked, obviously, the Chrome issue 36 comes break HTML5 output.  I hope that the patch solves everything.

• Captivate 7 and learn share LMS Quiz not reporting on results

  Created a module quiz in 7 Captivate containing two questions pools and random question slides.  The results are not properly (LearnShare) LMS.  You can see the total result, but it seems to choose the number of questions randomly, he sends in return.  We have tried all possible combinations of settings and researched and researched and do not get anywhere.  The frustration is huge.  It is a 40 question quiz and the results are used by supervisors to train employees, therefore get accurate results.  We tried the same project to articulate Storyline and it works.  Is there anyone out there using Captivate 7 and LearnShare who can provide feedback on how to get the results to properly inform LMS?

  I have it!  And yes it works in SCORM clouds so we did share the results with our LMS and put it on them to understand how they can make it work.  Thank you for your help.

• Captivate 4 and Firefox / Chrome - Quiz advances without answers

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me!

  I have Captivate 4, and my quiz works fine in Internet Explorer.  I use hot spots, with random question slides, and it works fine when I run from Internet Explorer.  But when I launch Firefox or Chrome, the FIRST time I start the quiz, he shows the first question for just a few seconds and then advances.  However, it does not show anything for me click on advance and it becomes basically hung up.

  If I then go back and re-launch the quiz on the same window, the test works very well and does not advance until I answered the question.  And the certificate at the end captures the score correctly, as well as the partition successfully sent to our database.

  Here are some parameters (if all goes well I am providing those needed to solve the problem...)

  Properties of the question:
  classified
  allows the user a chance
  using hotspots

  Question SLIDE properties:
  Display time 5 sec
  no transition
  on the slide, enter continue

  publication parameters:

  I have flash player 10 on my computer. Firefox 22.0. THAT IS TO SAY 10.0.9200... Chrome 28.0.1500.71

  Looks like it is related to the version of actionscript or the flash player version.  Don't know who.  I put it to AS2, and the parameters for the flash automatically reverts to the version 9.  Re-released, on site, then reread reloaded in firefox.  Worked well, except for the certificate, which had flashing fields with no info by them.  Then maybe? This means that I need to find an OLD certificate to use?

• Need to upgrade to Captivate 4 and need answers before buy you!

  I called sales, Adobe technical support and customer service, and no one seems to have an answer for me and they put me on hold for more than 15 minutes, so I'll try this forum for help.  So if the gurus Captivate out there can answer my questions I would be very happy.

  Currently I have Macromedia Captivate 1 Education Version and want to upgrade to Captivate 4.

  1. in Captivate 1 if you create Flash demos, it creates an HTML file and a SWF file. I heard of someone who has the Captivate 3 that it creates now more than 2 files. Is this true for Captivate 4?

  2. I read in the comparison page version Captivate that Captivate 4 has the ability to convert your Captivate demo in PDF with Captivate 4. If so, the PDF will carry the 'demo' features or will it be a PDF standard?

  3. I have a Captivate 1 education version so it is less expensive to upgrade to Captivate 4 or just purchase Captivate 4 and Captivate 4 has a version of education?

  Thank you!!

  Hi again

  Unfortunately, the answer to the question of the files number is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string.

  At a minimum, you will see generally three files.

  • The HTML file that is used to present the film
  • The SWF file that is presented from the inside of the HTML file
  • A JavaScript file called standard.js

  Under certain conditions, you can see other files. For example, perhaps you have made a few clicks and trolling the mouse while you were recording. Each of these likely results in additional SWFs. Or maybe you used a FLV in the film. Each FLV is normally a separate as well. Or maybe you have opted for the option "full screen" when you posted. Which would result in a second HTML file. If you use the feature of issue randomly, you define one or more Question Pools. Each Question Pool translates into an extra to include SWF.

  I hope that answers the question for you better.

  See you soon... Rick

• APIType and SCORM API

  Andrews Chemey use of SCORM and Captivate article I'm working on a JavaScript API SCORM to integrate the results of Captivate into a web application. I made an API shell and used the example of article and it works perfectly in FireFox. When I went to IE, I can see what API calls Initialize, Commit and Terminate, but no other calls never make my SCORM API. I was looking at the Simulation.htm in the directory of SCORM 2004 Non-Pif and found that if i equals 1 (getURL) areas g_intAPIType there worked in Internet Explorer.
  
  I guess that there are reaons that when it detects IE it was to switch to 0 (fscommand). Anyone can shed some light on this? Is there a setting in Captivate, I need to load my content developers to use to force it to always use 1?
  
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I'm just trying to develop a SCORM JavaScript API to our LMS. I was using the Captivate to your article (Internet Privacy Assesment) sample to test the API and it fails in IE but was working with FireFox. I was able to make it work by manually changing the APIType to 1. I had a my content creators make a new active with SCORM 2004 Captivate file and now it works fine with the content in all browsers. Maybe it was a version of when you create the article? Anyway, even with this problem the article has been very useful. Thanks for the reply.

• Navigation button import into Captivate Flash help...

  Hi guys and girls
  I try to get my flash animation imported to interact with a captivate2 lesson im creating.
  This is my first time using flash and Captivate together, and im hating the limitations that Captivate throw at me.
  Basically, I want to pause the captivate movie when chronology hits the flash swf and then resume once the 'flash' button is released.
  I currently have the following script on the first frame of my flash swf:
  
  _root.rdcmndPause = 1;
  
  and then I have my button:
  
  on (release) {}
  _root.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
  }
  
  (the flash swf file is an animated flip book)
  Anyone know what im doing wrong?
  

  Hmm, that's a little crazy...

  {We (Release)}
  stopAllSounds();
  _root.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
  }

  ActualY works now...

• Captivate 3 and PowerPoint 2007

  Creating a shockwave flash file in captivate 3 and try to insert it into a slide powrpoint play when I go to this slide. Seem to be following the instructions correctly, but when I move to the PP slike the flash will not play. Can help you with this question? Thank you very much!

  Hi there oneethan!

  If plan A does not work, it is often faster direct access to Plan B (to avoid wasting time).

  Why not import the PowerPoint in Captivate as a groundswell (or it just add a blank slide and import the PPT to JPEG background, then melt into the background - to accomplish the same thing), and then enter the file Flash in this context.

  Because Captivate can import Shockwave Flash (SWF), or streaming video Flash (FLV), this should be quite doable, especially if you have problems to import the PPT slide with the embedded elements.

  Insert Animation > navigate to and select the SWF file
  (or)
  Insert Flash Video > navigate to and select the FLV file

  Let us know if you need help, but I think maybe it's your most direct solution.

  Kind regards
  Larry

• Captivate 3 and CSS?

  Howdy! Captivate 3 manages cascading style sheets? I nose autour and think the answer is no--but, wanted to be sure.
  
  My client, at the end, wants a new font type. We are talking about 9 project files .cp and over 200 total blades with hundreds of legends/rollover slidelets/legends, etc. I want to just scream!
  
  I started to make changes - but noticed that when you access an area of text to make a change, the box on the screen the geometry is changed (ranging from the size and placement, I wanted to return to an original state - totally screwing up my layout of presentation), and its placement on the timeline gets hostage (actually to pass on the timeline - usually reset at the beginning of the timeline - and decreasing or in) increasing the period of presentation).
  
  In addition, try to use the 'Settings' button and the change applies to all does not work 100%. Seems balls will keep changes in policies to apply the selection "apply to all".
  
  I guess I could export to Flash and manage the police via ActionScript, but do not have the time now to unravel how do (I'm a novice to ACE).
  
  Any ideas?
  
  

  Hi Joe_MD

  You can try by clicking file > export > project captions and subtitles. This will create a Microsoft Word document. Then you might be able to select all of the text and change it there. Then click file > import > project captions and subtitles to pull in changes.

  Changes in geometry, click project, and make sure 'Autosize Captions' is not enabled as well as 'calculate caption Timing '. You want to probably the disabled also.

• Given that you have blocked Adobe Flash and I uninstalled as suggested by many commentators, what are my options to see the content I want to see?

  Yet once, now that Adobe's Flash problems are everywhere the news what are my options to display the content on the sites that were previously used by Adobe Flash? I uninstalled Adobe Flash, but need an alternative. Thank you!!!

  Mozilla had 'soft-blocked' version 18.0.0.203 and earlier, which still allowed you will activate Flash on websites of that trust.

  If you are not accustomed to using the "Request to activate" feature with any of your plugins, here's what to expect:

  When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

  If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash.

  But some pages use Flash only for tracking or play ads, so if you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification. It will just sit there in case you later want.

  Until this ordeal of previously unknown security flaws shakes, you might want to try this and see how it fits. To set the Flash "Ask to activate", after you have reinstalled it, open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

• I have firefox I put in player17.0.0 flash and I can't see vidios on utube or play games on facebook or zynga. Why not? What should I do?

  When I was asked to update my flash player, so I did, I was playing farm town 2 on Zynga. When I did, I went to play my game and the image would not return. The site came, but the game would not load completely so that I can play the game. I'm went on You tube to play music videos and the videos would not play. I went to my WWE network to see if I could look at him and I could not watch anything there either. I can not even play my games book face. I loaded and unloaded flashplayer at least a dozen times or more, and I still can't get anywhere. I can also do not charge any old version of flash player. What should I do?

  First of all, unfortunately, pop-up message on the Flash updates while you visit Web sites can often install malware. If you notice any strange behavior then please complete your plan of regular safety with some freedom to scan/cleaning of the tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

  Secondly, your "more details of the system" does not show the 'Shockwave Flash' plugin, so it can be disabled. You can check on the page modules, either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Search for "Shockwave Flash", and if you find it, change permission to 'never activate' to 'ask to activate '.

  If the plugin is not there, you can check the following folder to see if you find this file on the system:

  File: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
  File: NPSWF32_17_0_0_188.dll

  I also noticed something odd: you said Windows 7, but your Firefox means Windows XP. Could clear you any parameter of backward compatibility on your shortcut to Firefox. Here's how, either:

  • Right click of your Firefox shortcut on the desktop > properties
  • right click on your icon of Firefox taskbar pinned > Mozilla Firefox right-click > properties

  In this dialog box, open the Compatibility tab and make sure that nothing is settled here, so Firefox can take full advantage of Windows 7.

• Flash and Silverlight don't work at all in beta 34.0, when Internet Explorer is working correctly with these; immediately arrived with Update Beta 34.0.

  Hello!

  Immediately after the Update Beta 34.0, Silverlight and Flash, completely stopped working in Firefox. I am running Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2.

  They work fine in Internet Explorer.

  This happens in any website I want.

  For example, I can go on Youtube and the page will display a black box where the video should be, but there is no control of playback, or any way to activate the video. Clicking in the black box has no effect.

  On the site of game music, Grooveshark, the site does not recognize Flash installed at all. (If you have not installed Flash, this site displays a message each time. Grooveshark correctly recognizes that Flash has been installed by Internet Explorer.)

  I've updated the Flash plugin for the current version, which also has nothing.

  I have not reinstalled Firefox, or do a system restore, still.

  I just bought a new computer I was going to migrate to and withdraw from this computer, so I wasn't going to make heroic efforts to solve this problem. I reported this more on the order of a bug report.

  Thank you.

  Karl

  Karl,

  Do you by chance have Flashblock installed? I had checked before and did turn off but it seems was not enough. Update b 34, 1 break Flashblock who, in turn, breaks Flash and, for me, VLC. I had to disable (in Add-ons) and restart Firefox, and now everything is fine.

  I found this while digging for answers on the Mozilla forums and eventually find http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23 & t = 2881007

• My version of Firefox is updated, I restored to default settings Firefox, restarted, I downloaded the latest version of Flash and it won't work, it crashes...

  Mac, OS x 10.6.8 (updated), Firefox 28.0 (updated). Adobe Flash has been downloaded and no videos will work on all web pages using Firefox. I have reset the settings by default and restarted Firefox. I get the message that Adobe Flash broke down. Shut down the computer, restarted. Same thing. Uninstalled Flash and videos run but very agitated, jumps of 5 second increments after freezing. Firefox hangs and must be stopped by force. Installed an older version of Flash and it will work, but I get a warning that it is vulnerable. I crossed it several times and checked all my updates and they are the most recent available. Videos are running on either the latest version of Safari.

  I'm happy to have helped. Thanks for laying back.

  Remember to follow any progress, because I hope a fix will be available and you do not want to stay on Flash 12 unnecessarily.

• iMovie 10.1.2 Flash and freeze grayed out image

  Hello.

  I use iMovie 10.1.2 on my iMac.

  I want to remove the melted when my title appears.

  This option is grayed out if I right click and choose "add a freeze frame.

  If I go to the toolbar, edit-> flash and freeze frame, this option is grayed out too.

  Does anyone know a way around this?  Thank you very much.

  QuiSenFoux

  It seems that the only way is to put your title on green background, share it to present, to import to iMovie, add to the timeline above the clip, you want the title and using the green screen setup, you can then crop out the part melted each terminate at each end.   A lot of hassle for sure.

  Geoff.
