Captivate SWF issue 9

• Captivate swf issues navigation - buttons sometimes work, sometimes not

  I have a single file Captivate 5.5 with 100 + slides. I have the back and buttons next on most of the slides, as well as navigation buttons to slides of early for the various sections in the module.

  Some nav buttons work well all the time, some never work right and some are intermittent - sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. When they do not they either go to the wrong slide, nothing happens.

  I'm puzzled why this is happening. The properties of the buttons that work are identical to those that are not. It is possible that I have slides quiz grouped throughout the module. I wonder if the problem might be related to that.

  Any ideas?

  Hi Stuart,

  The malfunction buttons are placed on Quiz slides?

  Can you copy and paste all the slides to a new empty project at the same resolution and republish that. (Note, you must deselect the result Quiz slide before copying, as it can ' be copied)

  Do see you the project locally or on LMS?

  Thank you

• Inserted Captivate SWF w / Jump to Next Slide in Captivate Project hand - button

  I inserted a Captivate SWF file on a slide, and I want a button in one inserted SWF to move to the next slide in the main project of Captavate.

  I was wondering if I have to use shares advanced on this inserted Captivate SWF or javascript on this button to move the main Captivate project to the next slide?

  I'm with Lilybiri on this one.  With all of the slides in the same project is the best way to go.

  When you start a new training project, the height and the width of the stage of project file is one of the main decisions you need to get right.  Then when you capture any simulation content, you must make sure to match the size of the screen exactly so adding slides to capture is just an exercise in copy/paste.

  Captivate SWF inside other Captivate SWF of nesting is a highly questionable practice that Captivate was never designed to support.  It MAY work sometimes, but it can also cause all sorts of issues as well.

• Access to variables in Captivate swf load problem when run locally

  I am charge 3 Captivate SWF in a Flash drive custom. Here is pseudocode that arrives just at the point:
  
  var cp1_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip ("cp1_mc", 1);
  cp1_mc.loadMovie ("captivate1.swf");
  
  [wait (cp1_mc.rdcmndGotoSlide! = undefined) through setInterval]
  
  cp1_mc.rdcmndGotoSlide IS
  
  var cp2_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip ("cp2_mc", 2);
  cp2_mc.loadMovie ("captivate2.swf");
  
  [wait (cp2_mc.rdcmndGotoSlide! = undefined) through setInterval]
  
  cp2_mc.rdcmndGotoSlide REST UNDEFINED INDEFINITELY
  
  The thing is, this problem does not occur when you test the movie in Flash, or happens when the player.swf is run on a server. This happens when the player.swf plays locally in an html page.
  
  Can someone give me a clue as to what is happening? My best guess is that it has something to do with Flash Player Security, because it happens that locally in a browser, but I do not understand what is happening.

  It turns out that it was a Flash Player security issue and I had to put the security settings to "always trust" for my local directory.

• How suspend you inside Captivate swf animation?

  How suspend you inside Captivate swf animation? I want my movie to pause when I press the button to pause in captive the navigation bar. Stop the main timeline, but I also want my animated movie to pause. It's really maddening. You would think this would be a common thing to do.

  What Captivate version do you use?

  I remember an option labeled "Synchronize with project" that can affect that.

  See you soon... Rick

• Control embedded Captivate SWF project

  I have a Captivate 8 project that use Flash based fund sovereign and Captivate swf embedded on the slides. I need to be able to insert a button following inside the SWF embedded which will control the project to go to the next slide. The progress bar and the following buttons have been removed from the PlayBar, because users must fill the SWF properly actions in order to move.

  If I understand correctly,

  you have used captivate to create your interactive exercise and published

  then you took the swf and embarked on one of the slides in captivate 'Voulu2 '.

  and now you want your exercise interactive, once completed, make the 'voulu2' to go to another slide

  If this is the case, you can add a flash button to the interactive exercise using the solution in the link I posted above to access variables with one major change... the determination of the scope of where to find the captivateVariables should be like this:

  FOR THE SOVEREIGN FUND DONE WITH CAPTIVATE

  captivateVariables = object (parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent) .getMovieProps (.variablesHandle);

  and then just make a flash button to do this:

  someButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, isClicked);

  function isClicked(e:MouseEvent) {}

  var theSlideYouWantToGoTo = 2;

  captivateVariables.cpCmndGotoSlideAndResume = theSlideYouWantToGoTo - 1;

  }

• Captivate SWF - 6 AND HTML5?

  Captivate SWF - 6 AND HTML5?  I would like to than my users to be able to open my tutorials of training from their desktops / laptops or their iPads, according to what they prefer.  When I publish to the Format Option to output SWF, they open it on their desktops / laptops not their iPads.  If I publish to the Option of output Format of HTML5, they can open on their iPads, but not their desktops / laptops.  Is it possible to create a tutorial so that it can be opened on both a destop/laptop AND iPad?

  Thank you, Anjaneai.  I am hosting LMS on Taleo (Oracle).  I'll check the boxes the SWF and HTML5.  I confirm that my report captures the results, whether accomplished through SWF or HTML5.  Thanks again.

• Cannot Place 6 Captivate swf or html5 file Muse v3.2.

  V3.2 muse put my files of 6 Captivate swf or html5. "Error encountered during the import" error 0. Has anyone solved this or a similar problem? What can I do? Suggestions welcome.

  Just a note, you can also use the file-> add files to download (instead of the manual way of FTP) option and select your captivate6_file.swf so he can download when you publish the site. The file will be transferred to the folder/assets /, so you can update the code to refer to this file. This approach will allow you to preview the SWF playing in the preview of Muse as well.

  So in order to test this out, simply add the code to a page through the object below-> insert HTML code and add your. SWF file in the Project Muse help to add files to the download option. Don't forget to change the name of the .swf file.

  ClassID = "clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

• Playback control bar disappears after the slide with Captivate SWF inserted on slides

  I inserted a Captivate SWF file on a blade, and after that drag the playback control bar disappers into the module.

  The Captivate SWF inserted is not the playback control bar.

  Captivate 5.5.

  Insertion of products Captivate SWF in another Captivate file could cause a lot of problems, you will find several threads in this forum.

  Is it really not possible to insert slides in the main file, instead of inserting the SWF file? Or by calling the small project of the main file?

• Google sites - host captivate swf possible?

  Hello

  is it possible to have captivate swf files on Google Sites?

  Renovator rgds

  Yes! I did a Google search to integrate flash files into Google sites and came with instructions to How to embed the Flash SWF file to Google Sites?. Google has changed a bit since this was written, but fundamentally it is still standing. Download your SWF file in the binder of your Google site and right click on the 'view' option to get the URL. Put this URL in the tags as shown in the linked page.

  In the case of the link breaks the tag looks like this:

  "http://sites.google.com//.swf" width = "XXX" height = "YYY" >

  Change your page, and then select the edit HTML option to insert it.

  Hope this helps,

• Errors loading captivate swf in IE8

  Hi all

  I am incorporating a swf generated by short captivate in my online help (created by HelpConsole). It works perfectly in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, but I get a message of errors of Page in Internet Explorer 8.

  Specifically, I get a number of errors of the requested object and a 'null' is null or not an object error.

  I have created the swf file in Captivate 5 and 5.5 and tried paying Flash 9 and 10.

  I inserted the swf file by using the default WYSIWYG option in HelpConsole. I had no problem using this html code to play swf captivate files that have NOT generated by:

  < p > < object width = "800" height = "450" classid = "clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" >

  < param name = "Movie" value="docs/selectingmultiplerows.swf"/ >

  < param name = 'play' value = 'true' / >

  < param name = "quality" value = "high" / >

  < param name = 'wmode' value = 'transparent' / >

  < param name = "loop" value = "false" / >

  < param name = "menu" value = "false" / > < embed src = "docs/selectingmultiplerows.swf" width = "800" height = "450" type = "application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage =" " http://www.Macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer "quality ="high"wmode ="transparent"loop ="false"menu ="false"> < / embed > < / object > < / p > '.

  Any help to fix this would be appreciated!

  See you soon

  A Captivate SWF should generally code in the HTM model that comes with Captivate and the code in the standard.js file that is published with the HTM and SWF.  I think you need to be absent from the code that needs the Captivate SWF.  Try to use the same code, as used in the HTM and be sure that the JS file is also called.

• Captivate SWF (from FM) times in IE, not in Firefox

  Hi all, I use TCS2 on Windows XP.

  
  

  I am a FM docs link - and I have a Captivate SWF file in my doc FM. When I generated the Captivate swf, I ticked the box "Enable HTML". Fine video games in the doc of FM and in the PDF file that ensued.

  In Robohelp, I made import > > my SWF and HTML file any HTML/XML file.  I can see the video in the project files - I can see the first slide (like static on the page image) and then, when you double-click it it starts to play. When I saw this particular subject, it also works. I see the SWF file in files listed with all the screenshots (also in HR) under the project files folder.

  When the generated webhelp is being run/preview in IE, the video works fine. You can see the image that is used to its placeholder where it is supposed to be; When clicked, it plays and all is well. However, in Firefox and Chrome = another story. You can see the text "to see the video, double click on the image below" - but no image. Double click nothing. Therefore, no video.

  
  

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  
  

  Thank you

• Open Captivate .swf project in a new window

  I try to open a .swf Captivate in a new window; However, the options are grayed out when you use the hyperlink function. When I click on the hyperlink the captivate project opens inbedded in RBH. If I choose to use the Captivate icon, it's also well anchored. Help is appreciated!

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Normally, you insert a Captivate SWF into an HTML page in order to present. You do this? If not, why?

  Once you insert the SWF file in an HTML page, you can then open the HTML page in a new window.

• Pause the captivate swf while incorporated a swf flash is interacted with

  Hello world.  For reasons too complex to enter, I need to embed a quiz done in Flash, in Captivate.  This, I got, my only problem is that, because the game requires user interaction, I need the film Captivate to stop playing until they got the correct quiz!

  I understand that I can put an area of Captivate click or button on the timeline of Captivate, but which would allow the user to jump in front of the quiz, and as it is e-Learning, which is not an option.

  Is there an actionscript that I can put in the Flash quiz that allows to control the container Captivate movie?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Susan,.

  Variables work in CP2 and the NextSlide should certainly work. You use a skin/playback bar in your Captivate project? If so, then the path to the file, Captivate swf receiving instruction is different.

  If you use a skin test to send the Flash command like this: _parent._parent._parent.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;

  CP variables can be used to control the Captivate swf in many ways. You could use a Flash shell as a container for your Captivate swf and then use variables to manage navigation and other aspects. You can also import a Flash file in Captivate and have this file to communicate with the Captivate swf.

• Loss of Focus on Captivate SWF, 508 are

  After you publish a Captivate SWF, I squeezed through the menu buttons to confirm that the keyboard interacts with the film. For the first time through, the functions as expected: each menu button is highlighted and clicking the bar space active / disables the function, i.e., play/pause, legends on / off, etc.
  
  If you keep the tab and cycle to the top, then the 'focus' seems stuck on the URL of the published HTM file. I can't 'leave' the URL using the keyboard. The mouse still works, but as my office adheres to 508 / accessibility rules, the keyboard having does not interact with the file SWF is a huge obstacle.
  
  All opinions are very welcome and appreciated.

  Try this?
  http://blogs.Adobe.com/Silke.Fleischer/2008/02/tip_keeping_the_tab_key_press.html

  It is conflict inherent between 508 and SCORM, albeit a little
  different from what you state. 508 requires a site without
  JavaScript must be enabled in the browser. SCORM pretty much dictates THAT JS has to
  be available to pass the info to the LMS of the lesson (if you do not
  Have TO use JS, but it is without a doubt the most common approach).
  But who does not make your question ;-)
