SWF in a Captivate movie

My boss asks me to insert a .wmv movie into a Captivate movie. I found Digital Media Converter (using the demo version for the moment) to convert the .wmv to .avi. When I finished to convert, I then try to put the .avi in the Captivate movie. I get a message that Captivate is the .swf conversion. When the file is finally inserted, he does not like in the movie .wmv or .avi. In Captivate, it is very jagged, risk and quite poor in quality. My boss has his heart on put the .wmv in my Captivate movie. I tried Insert\Animation, Insert\Animation drag, import movie. Someone at - it any other suggestions to convert the .wmv file or get better results from the .avi? We have Captivate 1.0.1.1418. Thank you, Judy, author of the Menusoft Solutions technology.

Do you have Flash? I had a similar project with the help of a .wmv in Captivate. First of all, I imported the video file in Flash MX 2004, then exported out as a .swf. (Remember to export it out of Flash as an earlier version of Flash file... I think I used Flash 5, because Captivate throws an error message if you try to import the Flash 7 format...)

Then I imported the .swf in Captivate. The process worked great... the video maintained its video and audio quality. The other advantage of conversion the .wmv to a .swf was file size savings. My video of about five minutes went more than 30 MB in format .wmv to slightly more than 13 MB in Flash format!

  • Gif animated in the Captivate movie?

    I'm trying to insert a gif animated in a Captivate movie, but when I do, the gif anime not - it shows just the first image. Y at - there a trick to getting these animated gifs to actually play in the Captivate movie, without having to do a "recreate gross" the GIF in Flash? I have looked around a framework within the app to this address, but could not find, and according to my research of archives, no one else has asked this question.

    Thanks in advance!
    Maureen

    Maureen,

    Do not forget that you insert the gif as an Animation and not as an image file.

    On the Insert menu, select the Animation.
    Navigate to your desired animated gif
    Press OK

    Captivate will convert the animated gif in a SWF for you so that it will play.

    Hope that helps.

  • Control of captivate movie with JavaScript

    Hello

    I am trying to use Flash methods to control a captivate movie using the procedures documented in the article of the Support Center:

    http://www.Adobe.com/support/Flash/publishexport/scriptingwithflash/scriptingwithflash_03. HTML

    I use the following code in a JavaScript:

    film var = window.document.Captivate1;
    film. StopPlay();

    Captivate1 is the ID of the object assigned by Captivate when it generates the HTML file. The film does not meet the order.

    I created my own Flash movie and the command of StopPlay works with it.

    Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide!

    You can control Captivate with javascript, Rick has an example HERE

  • Securing of Captivate movies and access via the Web

    Hi all

    My apologies if this is a little off topic, but I just thought that someone out there has fallen on this problem and come upwards with a solution. All the tips / pointers thank you gratefully received!

    I would create a bunch of Captivate movies that will be accessible on the web. Different customers/clients need to access different movies. What I would really like to be able to do is post these movies on my site OR a site offering secure accommodation.

    The customer would be given a URL - when you can access the URL, they are going to a login page (and provide a password), and then be presented with a start page / menu where they can access movies that relate to the software they use (customers all use different versions of the software as well as movies are subtly different for each).

    A grave on this type of hosting solution or has any ideas for this scenario?

    Thank you very much

  • Why can't I insert swf files in captivate 9

    Hi guys

    Appreciate any help - can someone give me

    All the advice says that everything I do to insert swf animations is to go to insert - animation and then I can add swf files, but the only option I gave is GIF files.  This changed in captivate 9 or I do something wrong?

    Reactive projects may be published only in HTML format. No mobile device not playing Flash, which is also valid for the inserted sovereign funds.

  • Scalable Captivate movies published in Adobe Connect

    Not too long ago, I created a series of 6 courses in Captivate 5 and Adobe Connect 8 published. It would be desirable that the movies were changing for people with smaller screens, but I realized that this was not possible with Captivate, so I chose a resolution size that I thought would work for most of my audience.

    However, 3 of the 6 courses are in fact evolutionary - content reduced if you minimize the window. The other 3 aren't - you can make the window smaller, but the content remains the same size.

    I really want to make all evolutionary, but I see no difference between the films of this scale and those who. They all mix a few PPT slides with a few recordings made a software product. They are published in the same way and the settings that you make in editing, preferences are all the same.

    Does anyone have an overview of this problem? I couldn't find anything in the help of Adobe files.

    Thank you!

    David

    Those who do not adapt contain widgets?  Search in all the slides and check all layers in the timeline to see if it y of widgets.  If you find them, try to remove these widgets.

  • Synchronization of a Flash with Captivate movie

    Hey,.

    Does anyone know how to connect, or synchronize, an animation to a CS5 Captivate editing such as each frame of the animation is related to a respective image on the slide of Cp? In other words, I want image 1 of my animation to start frame 1 of my blade Cp (which it currently doesn't, no matter where I put it on the timeline of Cp), and I would lilke the animation, take a break and play depending on what the slide of Cp.

    Here's what I did:

    I made a slideshow animation Flash CS5, I put on a slide of Cp at the top of the audio. The animation is 35.5 seconds, identical to the slide of Cp.

    I put the animation at the beginning of the timeline, said playing for the "rest of the slide" and checked "Synchronize with project" (which does nothing as far as I can tell).

    I put a stop (); command at the end of the animation, so it does not repeat itself (and it's literally the only code I have right here).

    The animation and the Cp are both at 30 frames per second.

    This is what happens when previewing the project (F4ing):

    When the project comes to this slide, the frame of the slide (click on audio/boxes/buttons/etc) works well, but when the slide starts, it starts in the middle of the animation. For example, at the start of the slide, frame 1 Cp slide plays during the framework (for example...) 75 on the animation sets.

    The animation begins at a different location each time.

    Also, when I stop the slide, the animation continues to play, which compounds the problem. I want the animation to pause when the slide of Cp is paused.

    I know that animations usually have a certain way, but I would like to know if there is a way to change its behavior to make everything work together. Best of cases, there is an option somewhere that I'm on, and worse, I imagine that there is a way to write some actionscript in the Flash animation which tells Framework 1 to always be attached to the frame the Cp 1 and frame 2 to always attached to the PC 2, etc, with each image frame. I'm new with Actionscript, so I don't know how to do this.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hi Brian,.

    After watching your .fla to the animation file and doing some research, I found the problem.  As Rod Ward correctly noted in this post:

    Captivate 5 was a total rewrite of the software architecture of Captivate 4 and it introduced a subtle, but a fundamental change in the way as animations Flash have been addressed in Captivate content published.

    Change means basically if your animation was built at a level or two inside a symbol rather than on the main timeline to the next level, then you will find that Captivate 5 or 5.5 loads and runs the animation on the first slide of the movie. This means that the moment where you arrive at the current slide where you WANTED the animation to make it is magic, it has already run and completed.

    Captivate 4 What did not.  The entertainment was not really busy until late in the chronology of the film to be ready for the slide where it was needed.  It didn't matter if the animation was buried inside a symbol or not.

    You have two choices:

    1. Improve your animation so that everything happens on the main timeline of the FLA Flash file it generates.
    2. Download your Flash programmer to add ActionScript code to the animation, so that it does NOT completely when loaded for the first time at the beginning of the project when running.

    Looking at your FLA file, I noticed you had a symbol MovieClip/called "Animations" containing the time line but the time of the main .fla movie line was virtually empty.  Following the logic of option 1, I moved all the layers of time line "Animations" to the root of movie .fla time line and that fixed it.  In Captivate, I also checked "Synchronize with project" for the properties of the animation and the animation actually pause and play when I put paused and played the film of Cp.

    So the key is to make sure you use the time line main for any animation you develop in Flash Professional.

    Hope that helps,

  • Need help, Flash comboBox closes after scrolling (swf embeded in Captivate 4)

    I outsourced the swf resources animation in captivate 4. This swf using Flash MX comboBox and ActionScript 2.  I had to import the comboBox class in the swf file. The problem I encounter is that when you scroll the cursor in the comboBox, the drop-down list closes as soon as you release the cursor, before making a selection.

    The standalone swf works as expected. I only get this problem when it is in Captivate. Using the mouse wheel works fine, but not all users have a mouse wheel.

    I do not use the captivate because of advanced interactivity widget that I have to accomplish with flash. I don't want to create a comboBox custom, because I use event listeners. Sovereign wealth funds is very complex, including more than 3 k lines of code.

    Maybe I'll have to create an event listener for the scroll event and force it to remain open for a longer interval.

    comboBox.scroll

    comboBox.open)

    Anyone know any solution for this? I couldn't find anything on the net. Thanks for your help.

    A few suggestions for anyone with this problem...

    1. not to outsource the animation.

    2. use: _lockroot = true; in the flash file.

    If you externalize the animation, because you use the moviecliploader class into the SWF, then you can try to increase the number of lines for the comboBox control to eliminate the scroll bar. I wonder if this is a problem with Captivate 5 or 5.5 and Actionscript 3?

  • .swf imported into captivate 5 shows "points of progress?"

    When I import a .swf in Captivate 5 and you can see the film in captivate, slide with shoes .swf points in the middle of the face.

    It looks like a preloader-type of thing, but last the length of the .swf.

    Is there anyone else out there with this problem! ???

    Please help if you can.

    Tallis lockos

    Hi Tallis,

    I have not seen this issue. How has this SWF created? It's a big file? You say that you have had the same problem in CP4, with the same SWF? Are you sure it's an AS3 SWF as CP5 only supports AS3 (not sure of all that could be the cause, but wanted to ask him).  What do you see when you play the SWF outside the CP so that independent?

  • How to change the Captivate movie

    I have a film Captivate consisting of 1 single slide and an animated film. I don't see any way to edit the movie or export it in a format that can be changed. I need to take a few seconds on the front and back of this film.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    What do you mean by "an animated film? It's an imported Flash animation, it's a done in Captivate full motion recording? If it's a FMR, you can adjust it in Captivate. How depends on the version of Cp you use. If it's the CP5, select the slide with the TMF (is visible on the timeline as a horizontal bar red) and you will see the edit FMR accordion. If it's an animation created in another application, you need to adjust it.

  • SWF external button to move the main timeline

    Hello

    I did a hand (parent) page that loads a swf that has a button (a1) which, when the click on I need to move the chronology of the parent

    I wrote this code to the external swf and tried many commands such as Object (root) .gotoAndStop (1);

    A1.buttonMode = true;

    A1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, a1a);

    function a1a(event:MouseEvent):void {}

    }

    What should I write on the inside to make it work?
    Thanks in advance

    Try this:

    A1.buttonMode = true;

    A1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, a1a);

    function a1a(event:MouseEvent):void {}

    trace (a1.parent.parent.parent);

    trace (a1.parent.parent);

    find the good timeline, possibly with more parent.parent... and then:

  • 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.

  • Errors loading captivate swf in IE8

    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.

    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.
