Can Captivate 7's playback controls control Flash swf files?

Hi folks,
I have created a swf file using Adobe Flash and I have imported it as an animation slide in Captivate 7. I have turned on the playback controls to just have the play button and the progress bar. When I export the presentation, the playback controls do not work. The scrubber moves as the presentation is playing, but I can't pause the presentation. When I stop the scrubber or even move it left or right, it does not affect the presentation and it just keeps playing. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to have to create a custom nav bar in Flash as it would just be easier to use Captivate's playback bar.

I don't think it can be expained quickly as it can be very complicated. But...
Select New Project/Widget in Flash and choose static widget. You need to be very adept in AS3 to actually get them to work.

  • I can't seem to properly open saved Flash (.swf) files with Shockwave in Firefox.

    I have saved .swf flash files on my computer. I can view flash files when part of an internet page, but when I try to open the saved ones on Firefox, it asks me if I want to download them. I have tried to change the settings in the 'options' and 'applications' thing in the 'Tools' part of the menu bar, but while the SWF file(application/x-shockwave-flash) content type is automatically set to use Shockwave in Firefox, I can't find a way to do the same with the SWF file (application/download) content type, which seems to include saved swf files.

    Just out of curiosity, try playing the song in a different program . . . maybe Windows Media Player to see if it works. I wonder if it's corrupted....

  • Bringing Flash .swf files into Captivate

    Greetings,
    I use Captivate 2.0. I have been trying to bring a Flash .swf
    file into Captivate with very little success. The flash file is
    clickable (so that users can review case study information as they
    complete Try It simulations). When I bring the Flash .swf file into
    Captivate, it works. However, correction (or failure messages)
    display every time the user clicks the Flash .swf file. Is there
    anything that I can do within Captivate to stop this issue?
    Ideally, I would like the Flash .swf to run on top of the Captivate
    file so that users can view the case study details without having
    to see the failure messages.
    Please let me know if you have any questions about this. I
    hope it makes sense to you.

    Hi Zabcde (or PMW or P?)
    Can I just understand (sorry for being thick) your situation.
    You're trying to get a flash movie into a captivate session that
    the user can work on, see, interact with whilst they're also going
    through a Captivate simulation (try it)? Does that mean that slides
    are advancing for the simulation whilst you're watching the flash
    movie? Or are they watching the Flash movie as a kind of help to
    then go and do the Try It session?
    If it's the first, then I would suggest calling the Flash swf
    and the Captivate swf as seperate instances in flash (using
    loadmovienum or something). If it's the second, you should be able
    to remove the failure captions from that slide so they don't bug
    you.
    Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick though
    Cheers

  • Flash SWF file within Swing JFrame

    I have read the forum link and other such entries in this forum. I have found the following:
    1.) JFlash - a java based flash player. https://jflash.dev.java.net/
    Could'nt find the app or the official site
    2.) a few projects on sourceforge.org :
    java flash bridge where you embed the flash inside an Integrated Browser Component
    3.) SWT Flash integration.
    I do not find any of these solutions satisfactory.except the SWT/Flash integration which I havent tried.
    My question is that isnt there an easier and simpler way to :
    Embed Flash into Swing app where actionscript and java can communicate.
    I am aware of Remoting and web services. But It is a desktop app I am talking about.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    thanks in advance..

  • Accessing movie clip from flash swf file

    I have the situation where in flash i created a simple
    animated movie clip with few stop() commands on timeline. Movie
    clip consists of simple animatio played on roll over and on roll
    out which is controlled using actionscript. I loaded movie clip
    into flash using [embed] tag but actionscript code is stripped,
    there is no stop() action so movie clip loops continously. I guess
    that's normal behaviour for embedded flash swf files but i would
    like to know is there a way to still achieve that? Can i load swf
    some other way with its actionscript and then control movie clip
    from flex?

    You need the FLA's to open in Flash.
    You could download the free trial of a flash decompiler
    (www.sothink.com). The free trial won't give you actionscript, but
    it will give you all of the art in the swf.

  • Can keyboardEvent and mouseEvent work in the same .swf file?

    I'm nowhere near an expert on Flash or action script, so this is probably a simple thing to solve. But so far I haven't figured it out.
    I put together a rather simple interactive .swf file using graphical "buttons" to navigate through different screens. Afterwards, I was told to add in two keyboard events as well: one to navigate to the next screen and one to restart the .swf file.
    Using the keyboard to navigate the way I explained above works fine--that is, until I use the mouse to click on a button. Once I do that, the keyboard events no longer work. For example, if I start off the .swf file by pressing the Space bar on the keyboard to navigate to another page, it works fine. If I then press the "R" key on the keyboard to restart the .swf file, that works fine as well.
    However, the first time I click on one of the buttons on the stage to navigate to another screen, the keyboard events no longer work. I can press the Space bar, and nothing. I can press the "R" key to restart the .swf file, and nothing. It's as if using a mouse event disabled the keyboard events or made the .swf file stop "listening" for keyboard events. The only way I can get the keyboard events to work again is by clicking somewhere on the stage and THEN pressing the appropriate keyboard key. I'm guessing that's because I put the focus back on the stage, maybe?? (again, not an expert here)
    My code is ridiculously simple, and it's on the first frame:
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKey);
    function onKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void
        if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
            gotoAndPlay(currentFrame + 1);
         if (event.keyCode == 82)
            gotoAndPlay(1);
    Is there anything I need to do to this to make sure the .swf file is always "listening" and registering the keyboard events?
    Thanks..

    use:
    trace("defined");
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKey);
    function onKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void
    trace(event);
        if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
            gotoAndPlay(currentFrame + 1);
         if (event.keyCode == 82)
            gotoAndPlay(1);
    test by clicking one of your buttons and watching the output panel for "defined".  if you don't see that, you're not defining a keyboard listener when that button is clicked.  if you do see it, then click a keyboard key.  (if you're testing in the flash test environment make sure you disable keyboard shortcuts.)   if you fail to see the keyboardevent trace, you're removing or disabling your listener after it's defined.

  • URL, email links in Flash swf files shows up in search engine

    Hi, can you please help? I post this problem a while ago.
    My problem is: I developed a website in Flash 8 on the Mac.
    The Flash swf file is displayed via Dreamweaver doc. When I do a
    search and, when the site is found in Google, all the links used in
    the Flash swf file appears in the snippets below the main title. I
    would like to know where I'm going wrong, and how can I prevent
    Google from displaying the URL and email details.
    Do I need to use a preloaded, or do I need to put the Flash
    swf movie file in a table in Dreamwever.
    Many thanks,
    Blue_Mac

    >I don't know how this is happening then. Search engine

    >read through compiled files like Flash.
    Thanks, this is reassuring. Although it seems to have done
    just that.
    The following action script is where the details are coming
    from. I've used the name 'whatever" as an example. I don't mind the
    URLs on view as much as I mind my email address because of security
    issues.
    on (release) {
    //Goto Webpage Behavior
    getURL("mailto:[email protected]","_blank");
    //End Behavior
    I'll check my files again to see if I've miss anything out -
    I have done this so many times already.

  • Problems loading Adobe Flash SWF file

    Our users are experienceing problems loading Adobe Flash SWF
    files.
    One example of a problem file is:
    http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/popup_acr8_accessibility.html
    User traffic is flowing through a Cisco ASA firewall - these
    problems do not seem to occur from home networks or a Netscreen
    firewall. The Cisco ASA does NOT have http deep packet inspection
    turned on, and any traffic initiated by clients inside the firewall
    should be allowed. The symptom is that Internet Explorer will begin
    to download the video, but will hang at some point along the way
    (for this particular URL it hangs at about 7%). No error messages
    are displayed, but the video never displays on the screen either. I
    would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have run into this
    before, or if someone can explain what is different about this type
    of file from regular Adobe Flash, that might help figure out what
    the ASA is objecting to. The ASA does not appear to generate any
    log messages about denying this type of traffic either.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

    Thanks, but I use publish/export settings with GPU hardware acceleration and flash version 11.2 (and 11.8) but nothing happening.
    And why gif file is not all transparenty then I insert on lightblue background? It can't export good quality? Also I use Photoshop, After Effects, Adobe Edge Animate. And nothing happening. Egde animate file .oam is not good for old website navigation. It can't be inserted in freeshop site from navigation... I use logo file .oam just for example here - http://e-shoptagras.graphicsrim.eu
    In reality I want swf file, but we don't find why logo flickering? here http://tagraseshop.graphicsrim.eu
    All file's are transparenty - https://mega.co.nz/#!f8B2CD5R!J8uCJt9Sdq4Suz4HLhTHz8bzJcSWXMBIKcKZgkD3z8c

  • Is there any app to support Flash swf files on iPad?

    Is there any app to support Flash swf files on iPad?
    Thank You

    Depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are out of luck if you want to play on-line, but again some of them have app versions in the store.

    Alas I don't see that option — having said that I looked at mime types and legacy encoders and nada, but oddly when I went to check the QT version (7.6 by the way) in the "About Quicktime" (accessed via the *System Preferences*) it cycles thru various codecs and "Macromedia Flash Player" is one of them... guess it doesn't access anymore. :o(

  • How do I add playback control to a .swf file in Director 11.5 (PLEASE HELP!)

    Hi,
    I am currently trying to add controls (play/stop/etc) to a .swf file within Director 11.5. The movie imports fine and plays perfectly, however there does seems to be built in options to add the control in the same way you would for a .mov.
    The .swf file has been created with controls and plays outside of director fine. When it is placed into director the controls disappear and leave a white space.
    Is there a step by step guide somewhere or can someone give me a step by step guide? I'm fairly new to director and won't know some of the terms etc....
    The movie is 30 mins long and requires the user to move to various points and pause the playback. I cannot change the format of the file either.
    Please let me know if you need any more info...
    PLEASE HELP, I have to complete this in 2 days.
    W

    Probably too late for your project but...
    You can do this by using 3 sprites in addition to the SWF. In this example, I've named them "videoPlay", "videoRewind, and "videoStop". The SWF in this case was named "video."
    Apply this script to each of the 3 sprites.
    property mySprite
    on beginSprite me
      mySprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
    end
    on mouseUp me
      case mySprite.name of 
        "videoPlay":
          sprite("video").play()
        "videoStop":
          sprite("video").stop()
        "videoRewind":
          sprite("video").stop()
          sprite("video").rewind()
      end case
    end

  • How can I make hyperlinks work from a Flash/SWF presentation?

    How do you make hyperlinks/buttons work in Flash/SWF Captivate 5.5 presentations? This did not seem to be an issue with Version 4. I cannot publish to video (i.e. mp4) or as an executable file for posting on our internal system. If it cannot be done in Flash/SWF, how else can I get buttons/hyperlinks to work? Thank you.

  • Can I create more than one URL link in a single Flash (SWF) file?

    I created a simple SWF slideshow in Flash with 5 slides. I was able to link one URL to the whole file by adding an alpha button.
    What I can't figure out is how to add a URL link to each slide. The SWF file i sused on a website and I would like to be able to click on a particular slide as it is playing to go the a site or page that applies to that slide.
    Is there a way or code I can use to do this??
    This is the code I am currently using for the button now.
    ja_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mouseClick);
    function mouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void
                   var request = new URLRequest("http://www.jakeandamos.com/");
                    navigateToURL (request,"_blank");
    I am just learning this stuff so I can use your help, Thanks!

    You cannot duplicate instance names or function names, so you'll need to create unique names for each one that behaves differently.  So you can only have one function named "mouseClick"... if you want to have another function to link somewhere else you need to create a new name for that function ("mouseClick2" would work)
    There are alternate approaches, but for now this will be the easiest for you to deal with.

  • How can I have a Flash SWF file to load a HTML page?

    I'm looking for a way to have Flash (CS5) to load and display a very simple HTML web page. Basically, the SWF file would be a standalone document sent by e-mail (or people would post on their web pages), and this SWF would display the content of another web page (consisting mostly in a live video on a black background)
    How can I have Flash CS5 to do that??
    Thank you!
    -sv

    Yeah maybe I wasn't clear enough... Here's the big picture.
    I run a live TV station, broadcasting 24/7 on the web via a Flash application (a projector basically). The video feed is streaming on my site, as well as on numerous web sites across the net. A Flash projector is also available as a standalone application, people download and use it to watch the movies without opening a web page.
    I am currently changing the broadcast method, from Flash stream to HTTP stream. But since my TV is already posted and linked in many places, I want to change the Flash object on my server with a new one, that has a HTTP stream instead of the Flash stream. It seems that HTTP stream cannot be embedded in a SWF, but it can be displayed on a HTML web page. The solution I came up with is to have a HTML page to load in the Flash player. All I would need to do is to have that HTML page to display the HTTP stream.
    So from there, most of my audience would not need to change anything to watch my streaming TV, while those who downloaded the old Flash projector would need to download a new one.
