Captivate starts poorly

• Captivate 8.0 trial offers AAM error message / VAC makes / does not start

  32-bit / Win 7 Pro / 4 GB/300

  Have currently 6 Dreamweaver installed - works fine.

  Downloaded trial of Captivate 8.0 - installed - what started returns message: Adobe Application Manager to start your trial, is missing or damaged. Uninstalled AAM and downloaded AAM 8.0 all and Creative Cloud trial.

  Same message.  Uninstalled AAM, Captivate, VAC. Re-downloaded all and reinstalled all Akamai, AAM, VAC, Captivate.

  Same message.  When I clicked OK, Captivate starts and then closes.

  When I run MAA, it says I need to download and install VAC.

  This and still get the same errors.  Cannot open the Captivate to apply patches.

  Looking for ideas (what services are windows are required to perform these?)

  The problem can be solved by going to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe and rename the folder to OOBE_old OOBE. Re-installing the Application Manager and do not run it. Then re - install Captivate, select Try, if necessary log of Adobe and what it is. Captivate should run. Application manager should not report errors do not have ACCESS either.

  See you soon!

• File will NOT publish in Captivate 5.5

  I've been a user for a long time of Captivate starting with Captivate 3 and working my way up to now using Captivate 5.5.  At work, I worked on a fairly large project, but today one of my modules (about 279 slides) refuses to publish.  Mind you, I probably published this thing 2 dozen times over the last two weeks very well. I don't know what is the issue.  Whenever I publish the module that it hold 70% generating slide and will not move any further.  I literally left alone for more than an hour and it does not move.  I had two other colleagues are trying on their computer, and he did the same thing.  This led me to believe that this is the file (perhaps it was corrupted somehow happened to me before), so I started it chop into pieces, copy and paste in new modules and trying to publish it like that, but he did it the same time of EVERY thing.  I can post all the other modules very well, but not this one and I don't understand why.  Knowing the Captivate, unless there is another problem that I don't know, I think I'll literally have to re-create these slides from, copy and paste the individual elements in a new project with all new slides file because something had glitched in the coding behind the scenes.  Please help because I want to not have to do this for 279 slides!  Thank you!  Record: Publication to Zip File Scorm 1.2 compliant and poor quality.

  Try to enter in Edit > preferences > project > SWF quality and disable all the compression options, then republish again.

  If this does not work, you can have something on a slide that's causing the problem. Try hiding groups of 50 slides in the project, one group at a time, editing after each step to see if there is a particular group that when hidden allows him to publish.  If you find this group, begin to hide groups of slides inside this group until you isoliez the slide of the problem.  Then recreate THIS slide.

  If you have hidden all THE slides in the project without being able to post, then your question may be corruption in some Actions put forward in the project.  Copy all the slides in a new shell project will remove all stocks advanced.  You will need to recreate them.

• Captivate 9 crashes on startup

  I ran Technical Communication Suite 2015, Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 without problem on a machine Windows 7 Professional to i5. I just upgraded to a machine of Windows 7 Professional i7 with more memory and a larger drive. I disabled the old machine and everything has been installed on the new machine. Everything seemed OK at first, but after allowing Adobe Device Manager to upgrade to Adobe Creative cloud and taking updates from Photoshop and Illustrator, Captivate now blocks immediately at startup.

  After you have reinstalled without success I uninstalled, ran AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool and reinstalled everything. I tested all applications and all including Captivate started OK. I noticed the fonts in the browser and looked very jagged and attributes this something which must do the cleaning tool dialog boxes. I noticed that ClearType was turned off and turned back on taking of Illustrator and Photoshop updates. Captivate started crashing again. I'm a little unsure as to if this is due to the Creative Cloud update or the company of ClearType. I disabled Cleartype, restarted, but Captivate still crashes.

  What happens and how can I solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Well, after reinstalling Tech Comm Suite again once, Captivate is not crashing on startup. I turned ClearType, restarted, and Captivate still works. It seems to me, really, that was updated for Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator creative cloud beat Captivate. I don't know if it's a bug to report or not, and I really don't like going through the whole process to check it out. Because the way that has happened twice after the updates, I'm confident enough, it was the cause. In any case, I'm working now. The proper order might be to install Photoshop, Illustrator, make updates, and THEN install Tech Comm Suite 2015.

  The lesson of the day seems to be install and update older products before installing the latest products.

• Adobe Captivate is commissioning without characteristics (sometimes)

  On each others time Adobe Captivate starts without film, timeline, etc. windows. It shows a black background instead. Also when the background appears that I can't use the 'X' at the top left to close. Everything works well when the black background appears. Please give some advice, you can, thank you!

  

  Captivate is a resource / RAM hungry application. Open Captivate after closing all other applications and see if this happens. Or, when this problem occurs again, check the CPU. It could be closer to 100%.

• Storage of Captivate Test Scores in a database

  I was responsible for capture of Captivate 2 (the results of the quiz) data in a database. I've fiddled around with export SCORM 1.2 and 2004 course and changing the wrapper, but given that I do not have a right in place API, it does not communicate the data. If someone knows how to "hotwire" send an xmlhttprequest (or just get the plain ol' score ' javascript), it would be fantastic.
  
  I already looked at the dev section ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/store_cpresults.html) to intercept the data as it is sent via the e-mail function.
  
  It would be perfectly fine except that the user must click on a button to submit the results. I do not know how to have captivate trigger the function of e-mail when the slides of the charges.
  
  Another road, that I thought to take would be to use "Execution of Javascript" Captivate under "Project end Options." This would be ideal, but I don't know which variable names to use to send the user partition. It would be a cleaner way than to capture data from the send e-mail feature, but I'll go with what works.
  
  I'd appreciate any help to capture scores from the quiz that I now desperately need some kind of acceptable solution.
  
  Thank you!
  
  
  -edit-
  
  It seems that _percentCorrect is the variable I want to use Flash, but I don't know how to get it in Javascript and ActionScript. It seems to escape the quotes. If I alert ("hi"); It will appear an alert with 'Hi' in her box.
  
  If I alert (_percentCorrect); It throws an error as you would expect. I was hoping that I could do something in the sense of alert ("+ _percentCorrect +"); but that just notifies the text "+ _percentCorrect +". (even with single quotes)
  
  

  I think I have maybe to something.

  If captivate will abandon the variable again, then I can always steal it. I'm working on a swf file to "Pack" the captivate file in which will tear out the score up once it is calculated. I don't know if it will work, but it seems to be the most promising idea I've had so far.

  I can access the review like this note:
  Container.Slide X_scoring_mc._scoreDisplay._percentCorrect

  The only problem is the part 'X '. This is the number of the slide that the test is over (who curiously seems to be a slide as Captivate says it is. I guess the SWF starts counting from 0 and Captivate starts at 1).

  If I can find a way to detect that slide review quiz is on, so I think I'm home free. If I can get the variable out of the captivate SWF and into mine, then I can move to javascript in a healthy way of mind.

  -edit-

  WOOHOO! Wrapping the captivate SWF in mine worked like a charm. I pass the score to a function of javascript named catch_score();

  Here is the actionscript code that I used incase someone else has done (it is not the prettiest, but at least it market = P).

  Section 1:
  If (file == undefined) {line = "lesson.swf" ;}
  This way the file can be set by passing in the swf to HTML file
  loadMovie (file, 'container');

  Section 5:
  for (x = 0; x<>
  If (eval ("_level0.container.slide" + x + "_scoring_mc._scoreDisplay._percentCorrect")! = undefined) {}
  score = eval ("_level0.container.slide" + x + "_scoring_mc._scoreDisplay._percentCorrect");
  getURL ("javascript:catch_score('"+score+"');", "_self");
  Stop (6); just to stop wasting CPU with this bad script.
  }
  }

  Section 10:
  gotoAndPlay (5);

• I would like an answer please

  After reading another post, it has come to my attention that Motorola never (that I can find) is the claim that the Xoom would support an SD card. During my research for this, I discovered that the support of CD and DVD writer also fell from lists of products as described here

  http://WEBCACHE.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:KwfRs1E4pmMJ:stores.BestBuy.com/110/announcemen...

  Now this addition has been changed.

  I want to know,

  the Xoom will support SD, yes or no

  the Xoom will support optical burners or not

  Here are the simple answers that someone, somewhere knows. At the very least, anyone know if there's a plan sure to support.

  I can't leave this thread to start poorly, I just want to know what to expect.

  
  

• Default display rules

  Hello

  Someone knows a way to have new leaders displayed by default, Captivate is launched each time? It seems that the tick "show rules" in the menu display is not registered with the project or the global preferences, so we always have to manually turn.

  A similar question about the color chart: some sort of auto-charge on Captivate start or register with projects?

  Thank you

  No good answer about the leaders, I use the shortcut key.

  Regarding the nuances, I never use them because I prefer the colors of theme,

  who are registered with custom Yang.

• Cap7 Quiz capabilities - is possible to insert a whiteboard / multiple short answer boxes?

  Hi all

  I'm relatively new to Captivate (started in 6 a few months ago) and I'm trying to navigate through its functions of quiz right now.
  My client wants a function where users can enter short answers in a table like this:

  

  Or where users can enter the short answers in several boxes on a slide, like this:

  

  Now, I know that Captivate has at least a Table widget, but it doesn't look like the user can change the values.
  And to my knowledge, the questionnaire short answer does not allow me to enter number of response boxes.
  I was wondering if this is even possible with Captivate?

  Thank you!

  It is possible using the text entry areas, the variables user and advanced Actions.  There is no default quiz slide object table or can do.

• Cannot record - stops after clicking on the record button

  Hello world

  In short, I can't save in Captivate.  Here's a breakdown of the fast workflow:

  1. open Captivate

  2. create the new project

  3. Select the size of the window of the application/custom

  4. click on 'Save' button on the top left of the application window

  Once this is done, the recording box disappears, and Captivate disappears (always running in the background).  From there, I can open Captivate in my Start menu, but it opens another request, not the original.  The only way to close it is by putting an end to the task.

  Any ideas?  I've recently updated to the latest patch and can't remember experienced this before.

  Thank you!

  Hi again

  You might try to demolish the settings file.

  Close Captivate

  Open Windows Explorer

  Navigate to the following location:

  ?:\ Documents and Settings\? \Application Data\Adobe\Adobe captivate

  ? = The drive letter

  ?? = Your logged in user name

  Delete the captivate_v40.dat file, you should see (or rename it if you are hinky on deleting files)

  Restart of Captivate

  Note that this operation may require you to adjust the Windows Explorer, so it allows you to view these files. In general, you click Tools > Folder Options > view tab and ensure hide them extensions of known file types and Hide protected operating system files options are not enabled.

  

  Once you have completed these steps and restarted Captivate, it should point out that the file is missing and cook until a new on-the-fly.

  I hope you do once Captivate starts to behave normally again. (I just wish I could do that easily with people and animals, I know and love!)

  See you soon... Rick

• Crashing after the import of the object/slide

  Hi all
  
  After that I imported slides in a project of A2 in another. Unable to save the destination project.
  
  The registration process starts, the progress poster full/full bar, but Captivate starts eating up to 98% of the processing power of the PC and never closes until I place the open Task Manager and kill the process.
  
  Anyone experienced this? More important, anyone know a fix?
  
  I have removed/reinstalled A2 twice now, but no progress.
  
  I'm running XP/SP2.
  
  Thank you in advance for your help!
  
  -Brett
  

  Hi Brett

  I always use CP1 on a system similar to yours, then I hope the fix below works.
  Try to open both projects and select the slide you want in the original file, and then copy them to the destination file.

  See you soon

• Poor video performance on a cold start

  I have a question where I get poor fps in games on a cold start, but if I restart the computer, the fps is ok.  I used Passmark 3D Mark test to try to understand what was going on.  The graphics card is a GeForce GTX 770.  On a cold start mark 3D score was 2924 which is much too weak for this card.  I then restarted the computer and retested and got a score of 6710 which is just in the range that should be the 770.  I think that the rules on a graphics card problem.  This could be a Windows problem?  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I hope someone can give me an answer to this.

  Thanks for your help, Paul

  It is not a Windows problem.

  Do you also have lower frame rates when you play a game without having to reboot?

  If this isn't the case, don't worry about this. Synthetic benchmarking tools cause many people cancel you worry.

• Drag and .wav file to automatically start playback of the slide 1 of 9 of Captivate

  Hello

  I use 9 Captivate and do not know how to get the first slide file and .wav to start to play automatically at the same time.  Currently, the file .wav (narrative attached to slide) play, but I have to click the play button on the slide started.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have "Auto Pla" is selected in the preferences and 'Skin' checked marked "Outsource resources" - also in the preferences.

  Kelvin

  Of course! I should immediately ask for a screenshot of the timeline, slapping my head.

  You have a form button 'SmarShape_101' (Please label items) which is a break from the slide to 1.5secs. I suspect that it's a next button, and I can give you a tip? Why don't you use not two objects: text caption + form rather than type the text IN the form? To solve the problem of your question: go into control panel Timing and fixed the break to 30 seconds (almost the end of your audio clip). Also there is no reason at all to do this slide so long. Once the clip is done, nothing will happen. Also, be sure to fix the chronology of the SmartShape_101 and the Text_Caption_WAW... at the end of the chronology of the slide! If you extend the chronology of the slide, the entire chronology of these two objects will move to the right endpoint is attached and duration is retained. It is best to use CTRL-E to extend a timetable until the end of the slide. In this case, which extends from the chronology of the slide extend also the timing of these two objects.

• I am using captivate 8. The clarity of the published files are poor with black lines on the screen. Is there a way to fix this?

  Hello

  I use 8 Captivate. The clarity of the published files are very poor. It has black lines on the published file. Please suggest if there is a solution for this issue.

  Thank you

  Saida

  Hmm, Milot, why change the top instead of optimized to drag a quality which is the default setting in CP8? And why to substitute the quality of the blade in the preferences, if it is already set to high? I would like to know the reason, always eager to learn. I know that sometimes high leads to reduce the size of the file, but did not know that there has been better.

  My advice would have been to uncheck all the Compression settings in the preferences, size and quality. And I would like to know if the project has been recalibrated, if images have been resized.

• Captivate 6 errors: Missing file libwinpthread - 1.dll and the Application could not start correctly (0xc000007b) under Windows 2008 R2

  Hello

  I have a problem with Captivate 6 installation on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have 2 different scenarios where I tested it, but the result is the same.

  1. I used AMEE (Application Manager Enterprise 3.1) to create the installation of the deployment via SCCM 2012 Package.

  Note that the current package works fine on Windows 7 (x 86 and x 64), but not on 2008 R2 error after I tried to launch the Captivate.exe application.

  The error indicates that there is a missing file: libwinpthread - 1.dll and if I copy and made a recording of the present. DLL file then he sends another error saying: on-demand failed to start correctly (0xc000007b) so he won't ever let me launch the application.

  2 now, if I install the package directly from the Original sources (CD) without creating any package AMEE after completing the installation, I have always the same error about the missing DLL file.

  Is there a fix or workaround to install 6 Captivate on Win2008 R2?

  Thanks in advance and greetings.

  This seems to be a generic question unrelated to Captivate. Here is a site that lists the possible causes.

  How to fix Libwinpthread - 1.dll is missing / not found error

  I don't know if their solution works well.
