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,

Jim Leichliter

  • 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:

    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!

  • How to publish Captivate 8 in Flash with HTML5 projects aid only when no flash browser support?

    Hello

    I am in a multiscreen/reagents project, and I can't find an option to publish the project to Flash with fallback to HTML5. The goal is to have a nice animation of my PowerPoint presentation (which I imported), but only if the browser is not flash support to static sliding HTML5. I noticed that when the project is multi-screen, it does not allow exporting Flash?

    How can I solve this? Or should I recreate the project without the multiscreen support?

    Thanks for your help.

    Sorry to tell you, but that is totally contradictory: sensitive to publish Flash project. A sensitive project is a source to be consulted on all types of devices. The only devices that support Flash at the moment are desktop computers / laptops. This is the reason why you will never be able to publish a Flash-sensitive project.

    You can create a normal project, publish both SWF and HTML5 and tick the option to scale. Captivate supports to detect which device is used and will offer the SWF (always the most reliable and standardized solution) or HTML5. PowerPoint is a bad starting point, it is quite sensitive. You can capture a video of this animation if it's so important (would only myself but use an animation application dedicated to HTML5 as Edge animate) and insert the video into a sensitive project.

  • Menu Flash in Captivate

    We are currently responsible for SAP training that has been created with OnDemand software update. Current simulations have a Javascript menu on each screen, which provides various features including rising from the current slide to next or previous slides.

    When the existing sequence is played, and has captured, we lose the functionality of menu javascript.

    I created a Flash Menu and imported to the newly captured Captivate movie. All the links in the menu work except slide slide next and previous.

    The script that I use for the button to the next slide is as follows:
    This.next_btn.onRelease = function() {}
    This ._parent ._parent... nextFrame();
    }
    Also, I tried to 'play' nextFrame and target the path "_root" to substitute for the first '_parent '.

    'RdcmndNextFrame' and 'rdcmndPrevious' variables do not work unless you use a bar reading, which affect the simulation.

    If someone has never created such a feature? It seems that it would be straight forward. It's probably a problem of target path. The captivate movie is the container for the menu flash. To access the chronology of the captivate movie and go to the next or previous slide is what I really need.

    Help!

    I found that I had to activate the PlayBar to these commands work. I didn't want the PlayBar in Flash, I was able to hide.

  • 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!

  • synchronize two usb 6289 with a meter

    Hi people!

    I'm trying to synchronize 2 boards of the series M USB-6289 using a counter.

    I searched the forum and that you've already seen the tutorials:

    'Synchronization of series M with LabVIEW and NOR-DAQmx - Developer Zone - National Instruments'

    'Synchronization of data acquisition USB - device to several systems - Developer Zone - National Instruments'

    "The time and the synchronization of the NOR-DAQmx - Developer Zone - National Instruments features."

    However, I still have some doubts (where the post with respect to the following:)

    -If I want to use the meter as trigger for both cards do I need to export to a PFI line and connect to the Member of the Board?

    -I do the same thing with the clock signal (export to the other panel using a PFI line) or using the same frequency for two meters is enough? Or both?

    -can I use the same value for the frequency in the meter and two clocks?

    Hope someone can help out me.

    If possible, underline some examples or detachment would be great.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    See you soon!

    Hello

    All points depend on what you need to synchronize exactly.

    As you have probably already read in the links you provided, you have the option to share a trigger, or a clock, or both.

    Of course, the best solution is to share together.

    Then, you can choose to directly share the sample of one blade to the other clock (if the two sampling rates are the same), or to move the reference clock, then, both cards will synchronize their sample (with PLL) clock on the same reference clock, as shown in the synchronization M with LabVIEW and NOR-DAQmx series.

    Exactly how you want to use your meter?

    You want to generate a single trigger pulse?

    Then, for examples of synchronization, there are some zip files at the end of the links that you have read.

    Kind regards

  • HTML5/JavaScript (WebObject) Communication with Captivate 9

    Hello

    Me and my company I work for, trying now for 2 days how it can work... I hope someone can help me or we can do it together

    My goal is to have a file imported into HTML5 slide, with an animation created in Adobe Flash, which can for example jump to next slide. (To keep things simple for now )

    What I've done so far:

    1. I created a HTML5 Canvas in Adobe Flash CC. There, I created the animation I want to and he has published in a folder or a HTML5 project.

    2. I zipped it and it imported into Captivate, it works fairly well.

    3. I can click on it with a simple EventListener (which I have added Flash) via this.myMovieClip.addEventListener ("click", fl_MouseClickHandler.bind (this)); in Captivate. It works well!


    4. now, I wanted to add the ability to click on it and go to the next slide in the JavaScript code that is created when I publish the Flash file. Given that HTML5 and ActionScript3 does not have the same syntax, I wonder how its possible...

    In AS3, I could spend (to access the Captivate:)


    var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip (root);

    var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip (myRoot.parent.root);


    And that's pretty much the problem... I do not know how to let JavaScript communicate with Captivate when I import the HTML5 files...

    I tried through 'window. ... ', 'this.parent. ... "and a few other ideas that didn't work.

    I have a basic understanding of JavaScript, but can not understand by myself...

    Thx for the help. (Or ideas I can try)!

  • With Captivate CS6, I can't change the value of the variable personalized with AS3

    Hi all

    I did a program in AS3 flash to get the values to an XML file and put values in the custom variable to Captivate. While I was with captivate 5.

    I used something like that;

    var movie_captivate = this.parent.parent.getChildAt (0);

    movie_captivate ['customvariable1'] = 'test ';

    I've never had a problem.

    Since 2 weeks I use Captivate Cs6, I test my program and it does not work.

    I checked with a debug flash with my swf with captivate 5, I see my custom variable and its value and a witch of SuspendVarsArr table contains the name of the custom variable.

    But with with captivate swf 6, I see only a witch of SuspendVarsArr table contains the name of the custom variable but I don't see variable custom name and value.

    Can someone tell me where the captivate CS6, it is not possible to read and write a custom variable of captivate. Or if it is possible, what can I do to make it work.

    Thank you for your help

    Xavier

    Try to access that manage variables like this:

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

    Looks like you need to convert the display for an object objects container before you can access the call of getMovieProps()...

    You can download the .fla and .swf animation that I used for the test: http://captivatedev.com/demo/Cp6/SlideNumberAnimation.zip

  • 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!

  • Mark reports with Captivate

    Hello-

    I am brand new to Captivate and systems of learning in general, and I was in charge of research on the training opportunities for a client. I'm not having any luck finding a basic guide on the use of the quiz in Captivate, so I hope that people here can guide me along or point me to the documentation.

    My goal is to use Captivate 5.0 or 5.5 to create a program in such a way that the user can open the program, select their role to display its training modules, and then select a module or just run in all the modules associated with this role.  I think they would end a module and be assessed, submit the score and then move to another module if you wish. These modules could be in a Captivate project or separate files, so they seem to be integrated to the user. Once they have gone through the training and assessment, their scores must be reported accurately identifies the user (probably a sort of logon) and does not allow them to change their score. These scores may be sent by e-mail to an administrator, sent to a website, or what you have. It would be awesome if we could see the score of each user for each module and the overall score for each user in a role (that is, a grouping of modules). I hope that there will be a solution simple enough that someone without much experience it can handle once it is implemented.

    Because of the scene at the beginning of this project, I do not know how many people would be trained with him--it could be anywhere from a few dozen trainees at once to a mile or two, and it would be great if I could present options (especially since I might have different clients using this with different scopes). In the same way, the budget is TBD.

    My questions:

    • Is it possible to average scores automatically through some quizzes, quizzes and classroom training groups?
    • Scores can be reported within the executable formation, so the user can take a quiz and then go to another section without having to reopen the case of training? Or send scores always means the end of the training? If this is the case, this can be avoided by calling different files with a quiz of each?
    • Overall, Captivate is set to manage what I'm looking for? Or maybe that's the wrong question and it depends on what LMS is used.
    • What is the difference between LMS types? I see this list of options in the preferences of Captivate (SCORM, Acrobat Connect Pro, Acrobat.com, server, e-mail...) but I'm just not find explanations of how these things are functionally different.
    • Recommendations on specific reporting solutions or software? I don't expect that there is an obvious answer with all the unknowns, but some suggestions for different fields of application and the price would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks much for any help you can provide.

    Captivate will only partially get you to your goals here.  For the rest of the puzzle, you will need a Learning Management System or LMS.  The user connects to this LMS (manually or through single sign - on) to identify themselves before accessing the training courses they need.

    Captivate allows you to create course content modules and put together them as a class. For integration with an LMS, you usually have the SCORM compliant course.

    You can create training based on roles with Captivate, but your users would very likely be selecting their learning based on roles by the LMS. In fact, in most cases the LMS is configured to identify users according to their role and show them only the links to courses that would apply to this role.

    The Captivate course reports simply marking and the completion of the data when the user finishes it.  Is the LMS that captures this data and saves it to generate reports.  The decision on which the user not following is also something usually determined by the business rules in the LMS.  Reporting and formatting features differ from one LMS to another.  If your LMS 'can be managed without a lot of experience"is a very subjective matter.  First book to what your real needs and then decide how much experience is required by the person who was driving this system.  From my experience, they must be very able to do correctly, even for a relatively weak organization. (You do not say how many people are involved, but since you speak of "thousands I guess that it is a medium to large business.")

    There are hundreds of LMS products on the market. If you want to start to learn about those who are good or bad, I recommend you subscribe to the blog of Craig Weiss: http://elearninfo247.com/

    Addressing your other questions one by one:

    • Is it possible to average scores automatically through some quizzes, quizzes and classroom training groups?
      STEM: This can be done by most of the LMS.
    • Scores can be reported within the executable formation, so the user can take a quiz and then go to another section without having to reopen the case of training? Or send scores always means the end of the training? If this is the case, this can be avoided by calling different files with a quiz of each?
      STEM: Your username normally will complete one module at a time and scoring for this module is then captured by the LMS.
    • Overall, Captivate is set to manage what I'm looking for? Or maybe that's the wrong question and it depends on what LMS is used.
      STEM: Captivate is a leading solution for the creation of training content.  You need both a tool for creating content as a learning management system to do what you describe here.
    • What is the difference between LMS types? I see this list of options in the preferences of Captivate (SCORM, Acrobat Connect Pro, Acrobat.com, server, e-mail...) but I'm just not find explanations of how these things are functionally different.
      STEM: These are different standards of integration.  SCORM is by far the most popular.  Most LMS will manage SCORM 1.2, but many do not support the latest version of 2004. Some will be also AICC.  Acrobat Connect Pro is based on the AICC, but also a little on its own.
    • Recommendations on specific reporting solutions or software? I don't expect that there is an obvious answer with all the unknowns, but some suggestions for different fields of application and the price would be greatly appreciated.
      STEM: My only suggestion is that you start to write all your needs, be VERY anal about all this and search solutions which are offered against your REAL needs.
  • 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.

  • Firefox problem with Captivate 2?

    Hi all
    I went through these forums and on the Web for a solution to my problem, but none will be presented. I use Adobe captivate 2 to create a simulation. I publish the simulation as a SWF with HTML. I test on my local machine in Firefox 1.5.0.9 and with Internet Explorer 6.0.29. Everything works fine on the spot. If I put it on the Web, everythign works as expected in Internet Explorer, however with Firefox, the shortcut key 'Enter', that I have assigned to a text entry box does not work. Nothing happens. Does not proceed to the next screen, does not display the legend of failure. For the sake of curiosity, I tested this problem with an old sim card I created with Captivate 1. The problem is not with captivate evidient 1. The problem seems to be attached to Firefox, Captivate 2 and access to the simulation on the Web. (Unfortunately, I can't provide a link to the problem, as it is a secure site, and which would involve giving you a password in order to release the material to the company. They would not like this so ;))

    Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, because this problem has left me speechless.

    Thank you
    Keith

    Hi all

    Thank you for your response. I found the solution. I assumed the standard.js file published by captivate was to suppress the warning flash IE. However, no calling not this file in my custom HTML page, load the SWF file has caused the key of the entry in Firefox problem.
