Cfpresentation with a swf from captivate 3

I have a swf file that I created with captivate 3 for some
user training. I thought it would be a good idea to include it in
the new cfpresentation tag. When I run it, the cfpresentation tag
starts and then I see the captivate starting icon comes up and then
it is a white screen. I can run the swf from the browser and the
file runs find. I put a cfpresentationslide before this slide and
that one comes up fine but then it goes to this next slide and I
again only get a white screen. THe swf file runs about 30-45
seconds. Am I doing something wrong? Here is the code. I just have
the basic since I just want to see it run.

I built a SWF in a program called Articulate and tried to
include it in a cfpresentation and it had the same result.
I also included a SWF built in Adobe Flash that included
sound and the sound does not make it into the cfpresentation.
I think the <cfpresentation> tag is a good start, but
it certainly isn't the jaw-dropping, WOW, this changes everything
tag that I initially thought it was.

SWF from Captivate in other video editors

I have published some Captivate 2.0 movies to .swfs and they
work fine and run in my browser just fine. However, another group
needs them converted to a video format to put into another project.
No problem, I say, since we have Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0
which lists .swf as an import file format and .wmv and/or mpeg as
an export file format.
The problem is that when I bring the Captivate swfs into PE
it sees them as 1 second/x# of frames. I can download a random swf
from the Internet and PE reads it just fine, XXXseconds/XXX# of
frames.
I have tried tinkering with just about every setting in
Captivate and still can't get it to work. I've also tried just a
swf to .avi converted which worked fine, the .avi plays just fine,
but when I bring that .avi into an editor like PE it's one second
long again.
Help!

I can't believe I didn't notice before that Captivate can't
output to a
movie format.
I'd download a trial version of Camtasia, open the SWF you
created with
Captivate, and use Camtasia to record it - then output to
AVI.
I think many conversion utilities expect Flash documents to
be 'linear'.
Captivate has movie clips in movie clips and is not a linear
file...so
these conversion utilities get confused.
Essentially, I think you'll need to record the original SWFs
playback
with some other software then publish as a movie. There are
lots of SWF
to AVI conversion utilities out there but I dunno how well
any will work
with Captivate-generated SWFs.

Insert and play a .swf (from captivate)

I imported a .swf and it comes in broken into 180 frames -
how can I use this in my main timeline without having to insert 180
frames (or more since I'll need to place other .swfs as well)?
Thought I could copy those frames into a new symbol (movie clip?)
and then place that.... just not sure how to do this correctly. It
doesn't seem to be working.
Also - this .swf is exported from Captivate - any special
file format I should ask for instead?
Thank you!

Ok - I did that and am adding new frames to the movie clip
(piecing it back together since it imported as six different .swfs
for some reason), so I think I have to keep extending the timeline
to give it enough time to play (?), but unfortunately it doesn't
play a preview for me inside the .fla - I have to test movie each
time. Does that sound normal/right to you? I guess you always have
to add frames in the main timeline to accomodate however many
frames are within the movie clip? (kind of a pain but if it's the
only way I guess I'll live) :-)

Importing swf from Captivate 3

Hi, has anyone imported a single swift file that contains its
own playback control into Presenter from a Captivate 3 published
file?
Currently when you publish from Cap 3 two files are created
xxx.swf and xxx_skin.swf... Importing both into Presenter does not
work either.
The idea is to have a voice over and points on the left side
of the slide and then on the right have the swf file with its own
playback control for the user to manually play after the voice
over.

By turning off the 'borders' in the Skin option will only
publish one swf file.

Calling a swf from captivate

I have a project that has multiple chapters. Within those chapters there are multiple sections. Some of the sections are used in other projects. So for version control, I would like to create a captivate project that finds these sections that are outside of the project. In other words, I might make a project about fruit and another about food. Both have a chapter about apples. If I change apples, i would like for it to affect both fruit and food (man I hope this makes sense).
Is there anyway to do this? So far people have said 'cut and paste the slides', but I will literally be using some sections in 10 different projects. Having the ability to update one main 'apples' file and have it update in all 10 projects is what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Van

The secret ingredient in all successful daisy-chaining is to use relative links, not absolute links (which would only work on your computer).
If you've done that, then all you should need to do is copy the folder containing the published course files over to the client's computer.
If your client is running this course from their computer hard-drive or a LAN drive, you'll need to make sure that they have this folder set up in their own Flash Global Security settings as a trusted location.

What's the right/best way to publish from Captivate 7 for use in Presenter 9

Just upgraded to captivate 7 and have presenter 9. We are updating some old training courses created using Presenter with demos created in Captivate. I've gotten as far as upgrading the old .cp files to .cpx files and now am ready to publish the files within Captivate so I can import them into Presenter 9.
When I hit 'publish' in captivate there are options to publish as .swf and/or .html5. So I am trying to fugre out what will work best given what I'm trying to do. In presenter I don't see an option to import HTML5, only video files or .swf files, is that correct? in which case i need to publish as .SWF files? Is that the best way to do it in order to be able to import into Presenter 9?
If that's the case, and I need to have .SWF files, how do I choose which Flash Player version I want to use when I publish the files in Captivate? It's got the drop down box containing Flash 10, 10.2 and 11. My instinct would be to use the newest (flash 11). Is that correct? If not, why would I want to use a lower Flash version?
thank you!

Hi,
You can publish to either as .mp4 (Go to publish >Media >Mp4 ) or .swf from Captivate 7. In presenter 9 you do have an option to either import .swf or .mp4 files. See the image below to import these two formats in presenter:

Difference between published Captivate 5.5 swf and Captivate 7 swf?

I have a custom SCORM framework built in Flash that handles all of the calls to an LMS, and I simply insert published SWFs from Captivate; everything has been working great for a few years now. The problem I am experiencing now is that content that I have published from Captivate 5.5 shows up just fine, but I upgraded to Captivate 7 and now the SWF files hang during loading, or simply show a black screen. My client uses SumTotal LMS, so I first thought it might be an issue with the LMS, but this is the case in every single LMS I have tested in, so it is definitely some anomaly in the different versions of the published files.
So I guess I am trying to figure out what is different between the two SWFs published in different versions?

I don't think so that it is the soulotion for this problem , but you in publish setting/ start and end part (something like this, I don't remember the name completely ) / you can turn off the preloader and fade in at start checkbox and turn on the autoplay.
this can solve the problem temporary till adobe find better way for it .

you are looking for LocalConnection
google for "LocalConnection samples" or check the help files
for details.
Tho with all honesty, checking out samples is way more
understandable than
the attached help files.

Detect end of the .swf file from captivate

Hi,
I've a .swf file sent by our clients. They want to put that .swf file on the webpage. The .swf file is published from captivate.
Now they want to display a submit button on end of the .swf (video). I don't know how to detect end of the video.
Need help...!!!
Thank you,
Himadri

Welcome to our community
Within Captivate you are able to choose different actions to occur when the Captivate movie completes play. Of course if you don't have Captivate and the project file you are pretty much stuck with what you have. If you *DO* have access to the source, you would then configure the end action to be what you like. Perhaps execute some JavaScript, load a different page, etc.
If you don't have access to the source file, you may be better off asking whomever provided the SWF to you to make a small change to the end action. They would then compile a new SWF and provide that to you to use.
You just said a "Submit" button should appear after the video plays. What exactly is this button supposed to do?
Cheers... Rick

Loading child SWFs with TLF content (from Flash CS5.5) generates reference errors in FB4.6

I am currently producing e-learning content with our custom AS3-Framework.
We normally create content files in Flash CS5.5 with dynamic text fields, which are set at runtime from our Framework (AS3 framework in FB4.6).
Now we are in the progress of language versioning, and since one of the languages is Arabic we are changing the dynamic text fields to TLF fields.
Then all my problems started.
In Flash I have chosen to include the TLF engine and to export in frame 2.
(see to: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/loading-child-swfs-tlf-content.html )
I get this error:
VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of getEventMirror in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowLeafElement.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
I guess it is because our framework wants to gotoAndPlay before the TLF engine has been loaded.
Can this be it?
Any good suggestions on how to handle loading child SWFs with TLF content.

Please refere to the following articles .. you may find some help.

Captivate 4 publishing issue?--very strange results with embedded swfs

I have a captivate file with some swf's created in flash, and some simple swf's created in Captivate 4. When I publish, the swf's created in Flash pause if you pause the player, but the captivate published swfs do not. Also, I have a captivate published swf playing on my 3rd slide, and on the first slide in playback, you can hear a mouse click, like the flash has already started playing. And sure enough when you get to the 3rd slide, the flash is in the middle of playing. I have "sync to project" checked on all of them. Is this a bug with captivate?? please help!

Hi there,
Just to add to Michael's excellent post. I would suggest that you check to see what the frame rate in Flash is set to. When inserting SWF animations into Captivate you need to make sure that your Flash projects (SWFs) have a frame rate of 30 fps.
Another option would be to create test SWF in Flash using AS3 and insert this into a Captivate AS3 project. To set your Captivate project to AS 3 carry out the following steps:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences
2. Select the Publish Settings category of the Project preferences
3. Choose AS3
4. Click OK.
Next, publish your CP file as a SWF (externalizing the animations as Michael suggested) and see if that makes any difference.

So Wat to do? Is there any way to get out as a single swf file from captivate.

Dear friends,
I am beginner in Adobe Captivate. We have a E-learning
project. We are using Dockers as our LMS. Previously we were using
Flash for all. Now we are trying Captivate for better and faster
results. I have few swf files and i inserted al files in Captivate
and i published. So instead of getting single output, am getting
all the swfs, skin swf and html file. Html file is accessing all
swfs and works. But it is not working in Dockers. Single swf will
only work in Dockers. So Wat to do? Is there any way to get out as
a single swf file from captivate. please Help mee.
Thanks
Flashlover

If 'Dockers' cannot handle a .zip file as the content and
instead
requires a single, uncompressed content file, then it is not
SCORM-compliant. The SCORM specification requires the LMS to
handle a
'pif' file (most common is .zip) which contains the lesson
and the
required manifest file. If Dockers doesn't support that then
you can't
do SCORM-compliant content.

the simplest things are insanely hard to do. For example i created

animations synced to the audio i brought into flash, and when I
bring the swf into captivate, and export the file I lose the audio.
Anyone know how I can push the swf audio through to the output in
captivate??

Unable to export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4

Hello everyone!
I am attempting to export a captivate project over to flash CS4. However when it goes from captivate over to flash the result is basically a slide show. It does not show any of the animations that are present in Captivate. I also keep recieving an error message.
I have searched for how to solve this problem for quite a while now and so far have come up with nothing.
This is the error message that flash gives me:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
508 Compliance
A swf animation slide has been imported. The following files must be made available at publish time:
Project01_slide_22_0.swf
DefaultPreloader.swf
Please make sure you publish the project to “C:\Documents and Settings\jmillard\Desktop.” Saving the project to this directory will ensure that test project will work with the swf animation slides.
Unfortunately I am on a tight schedule to get this project done and the Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 I am using are both 30 day trials, so I am in quite a hurry.
If you could please help me I'd greately appreciate it!

When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.
