Trying to link Captivate SWF in FM and PDF

I use TCS2.

I created a video of Captivate and published it as a SWF file - works well.

In my doc FM, I imported (file, import, file) by reference. When I double click on it, it runs in a new window.  Perfect.

Here are the questions:

1. in the file of the FM, it appears as a black window with a button play not the title page of the SWF file. I read in the help manual is the first image will appear empty if the first image in the video of Captivate is empty... but it's not. So do not know what setting I could be wrong.

2. I can't get the SWF to play once I published the FM doc as a PDF document.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Adriana

Adriana,

Post-processing routines that are enabled by the SaveAsPDF road that make the magic of insertion is the real SWF in the PS file to the PDF file. Unfortunately, these are not available direectly when printing in a PS file.

However, if you have the multimedia Shlomo Perets extension for its time-saving tool, then you can get those embedded in the PDF file.

When you say that FM crashes (or is it Disitller at the stage of creation of PDF?), what error you get? Are accidents always in the same treatment step/location of the file? You have enough resources on your computer (e.g. the free space, RAM disk)?

  • Variable information from the Captivate .swf 8 integrated and vice versa

    Hello

    I use 8 Captivate and created a game in Flash with AS3.  I will have NO problem running commands from Captivate embedded Flash file, using the syntax:

    MovieClip (this.parent.root) .rdcmndNextSlide = 1;

    However, whenever I try to import or to export values for the variables defined by the user or even predefined such as cpQuizInfoPointsscored variables, the values do not translate back.  I tried using the same syntax as above to set the value of a variable (for example MovieClip (this.parent.root) .cpQuizInfoPointsscored = 20;).  Similarly, I tried to display the value of a Captivate variable inside the Flash file by setting an equal to the set value Captivate dynamic text field.  In the first case, nothing happens; in the latter case, the text field displays "undefined".

    I have not seen a post about this particular problem.  Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?  Or is that what I try to do possible?

    Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

    Look in the category film control: these can be changed (some examples are cpCmndMute, cpCmndCC).

    On the one hand, you cannot uninstall Safari.  It comes as part of the operating system.  So, I don't know what you've done or what you think you did, but this is not that.  Could you explain more by what you mean with "I get reimage opening in a new window?  You can post a screenshot of what happens?

  • problem with links embedded in swf and pdf

    Hi, I'm working a project that asks me to insert a SWF movie into a Pdf file.

    This tape of SWF I Normand to place a button. I want to solve some procedures. With Acrobat Pro, I add a button that I need. When the text link I get a strange case for the button. For the click, as it is the perfect page, but less than one arrived second return to the page with a SWF Movie. In the second click instead the link works fine.

    I need to solve this problem as soon as possible

  • Can a Flash SWF embedded save and get a variable with the drive?

    My SWF content contains text in different languages.  The user selects a language and it appears.

    Is there a way to store this setting locally so that the correct language is displayed when the pdf file is reopened?

    I only need a two-letter string, such as "EN", "FR", "ZH", etc., and the SWF file takes care of the rest.

    I tried calling multimedia_saveSettingsString of SWF Actionscript, and I tried to set a global variable in Acrobat and local setPersistent using Actionscript and .js files. It works in Acrobat, but not the reader on a users system.

    I also tried to use a separate pdf form to store a global variable and then tried to get this variable using the SWF Actionscript.

    Could it be a problem with Acrobat properties or security settings?

    I'm not a virtuoso, would help the sample scripts.

    (Windows 7; ActionScript 3; Acrobat 9 and XI are available; Adobe Reader 9 is installed base, but I may be able to move to a more recent version of the player)

    I asked a similar question in the Acrobat Javascript community, but didn't get any response. I have here reformulated with additional details

    Thank you.

    Here's my example section linking to the Save and Load buttons. evalText, infoText and replyText are the three fields TextArea.

    Note that it is important to send a string and returns an object and cast it to a string. EI.call () has no idea what is sent to JavaScript.

    // button handlers
    butSave.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSave);
    
    function doSave(e:MouseEvent):void {
        var rtn:Object = ExternalInterface.call("multimedia_saveSettingsString",evalText.text);
        if (rtn == null) {
            infoText.appendText("Save: REPLY = null");
        } else if (rtn.toString() == "") {
            infoText.appendText("Save: REPLY = empty string");
        } else replyText.appendText("Save: reply = " + rtn.toString());
    }

  • 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;

    }

  • Link between swf files.

    Hello. I need to find a way to link several .swf files, so I can have a menu and after clicking on a button to go from there to any file swf and return.

  • 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!

  • Open Captivate .swf project in a new window

    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.
