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

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.

Publishing the swf file in Captivate 8: videos unable to load

This is my first time using Captivate. I am still using the free version of Captivate 8 from a Mac. I have created an online module for my college e-Learning course but, I can't get it to upload right anywhere! I am trying to upload the swf. file to Google Sites but the videos display a connection error message and never play. I have read everything I could online but nothing is working for me. I tried uploading a SCORM zip file to Coursesites and got an error message as well. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong...

I have not upgraded at this time, but I can if that will fix the issues I'm having with the published files.
To clarify, my project is NOT a responsive project. I'm just selecting HTML5 on the publish. And I am testing it locally, on our company server, and online. The drag and drop does not work in any instance of the index.html any of these locations.

How can I stop the swf file from repeating on different web pages

I have my entire website built and am using a flash
navigation bar that also has a movie presentation attached to it. I
uploaded it to every page in my site because it is required for
navigation. My problem is that the movie plays every time you
switch to a different page, I only want it to play once on the home
page, and then just have the flash navigation work on the rest of
them. I know that there is a way to use cookies to tell the
computers IP address that is viewing the site not to replay the
movie if it has already played within the specified time frame. But
I am not very good with actually inputting code into flash, I am
new to it. I have seen sample code on another website but I think
it was referring to the wrong flash version, and it did not specify
exactly where to put it in. Please help!

Well I am actually using a template. And the flash video that
was created is way beyond my ability. So I tried initially to
separate the two, the intro video, and the navigation. But they are
intertwined in a way that I do not understand. I do need to do the
variable thing. I took a flash class in school, and my book does
not touch anywhere close to this. I know its probably too
complicated to explain through a forum, but can you recommend any
resources online or books that would go more in depth with this
sort if thing. If I can just see the way it works on another site,
I know that I can do on mine.
Thank you!!!

Protecting swf files from being decompiled

At the end of the day, our flex apps are deployed as swf
files which have the potential to be decomplied and thereby our
intellectual properties lost. There are tools in the market which
claim to secure the swf files from being decompiled. Are these
tools live up to their claims? Is it worthwhile to spend money on
these tools? Would the protected swf become harder to deployed? Any
good products already available in this line? Please point out
some. Thx.

Most of the tools I have seen are geared towards extracting
resources from swf's. I use one myself (eltima.com) for
"harvesting" manufacturers content for my motorcycle dealers. They
are authorized to use this content, but finding someone at Yamaha
of Kawasaki or any of the majors who even knows where to find these
resources is next to impossible. I have also used it to learn from
by viewing scripts, but as you say, at the end of the day, I think
the concepts and best practices are about the only thing worth
taking away from others efforts, not the code.
Unlocking a protected file can be done as well and I remember
using a product over a year ago to get at the scripts within an swf
(I wanted the URL's that pointed to media - it was legal for me to
do this). It ran from the command line and output the scripts.
There aren't too many of these types of programs to be found, but
they exist.
My personal opinion is that it's not worth the effort. My
java classes can be decompiled and if someone wants to go to that
trouble, more power to them. To my knowledge, there isn't anything
out there yet that is perfect for backwards engineering an swf into
an MXML file, but a competitor of FLASH Decompiler says that they
can decompile Adobe 9 PLAYER swf's. For what it's worth, I plan on
posting the majority of my code on my flexdev.org site once I get
it established.
For people who make components for sale, this could be an
issue of stolen revenue if the decompilers get sophisticated enough
to reverse engineer the swc into a usable MXML file. I would be
against anyone who stole code for this purpose, for sure.

DATA TRANSFER - How to get a SINGLE SPACE in the downloaded file from UNIX?

Hi Experts,
Am sending data from SAP to UNIX/ Application server and text file on desk top as well.
So, I am keeping a single character just SPACE at the END of each record.
Then, When I see the downloaded text file, I found a SINGLE SPACE at the end of each record, fine.
Then, by using CG3Y t code, I downloaded the UNIX file to my desk top.
But, When I see this UNIX downloaded file from UNIX, I did NOT find any SPACE at the end of each record!!!
Am doing every thing same in both cases.
So,
1 - Why its happening in case of UNIX file?
2 - How to get a SINGLE SPACE at the END in the downloaded file from UNIX?
thanq

Hi,
I don't know if this works:
perform SET_TRAIL_BLANKS(saplgrap) using 'X'.
perform SET_FIXLEN(saplgrap) using '0' '060'. "put length of your line from-to
... download ...
It will put space at the end of your line, according to the length.
Hope it works,
Chang

Loading swf files from an iPhone Air App

Although the faq says its possible ( http://bit.ly/gyxmCo ) I can't seem to load .swf files from my app.
There's no .AS code in the .swf file I'm trying to load.
PNG files load with no problems, swf's fail.
A working example would be appreciated instead of suggestions, I've spent the entire day trying out suggestions
regards,
Martijn

Because I can't see any library assets in an as2.0 file.
I've discovered that the swf fails to load as soon as you make a symbol 'export for actionscript'
probably because it will then create a class. So you can only load SWF's as simple pictures or animations, you cant use it as an asset library with multiple animations/images/sounds in it..
As for you other questions:
it doesnt matter if the file is local or on the web. same results
I created the swf file from a fla in CS4, and I'm compiling my air project that loads the swf with FlashDevelop.

Control volume for an embedded swf file in Captivate 5

Hello everyone -
I have just searched the forum but cannot find anything on controlling the volume for an embedded swf within Captivate 5. The cap 5 palyback controls will not be used. Is there a way to control the volume ? I found info for AS 2 bur not as 3.0
Thanks much
Rick

I tried this as a solution:
I imported the .swf file to Captivate. I tried to then publish the file as as .FL4, to then reimport into Captivate.
That should give me the option to control the entire movie (sound and video) using Captivate playbar.
BUT, when i try to publish as .FL4, only the sound published, not the video.
Any suggestions?
(i have searched this site and the web in detail and have not fouind a solution),

Does the Captivate Demo cripple the SWF file?

Is the Adobe Captivate Free Demo limited? I created a SWF file but I'm not able to insert into a Sharepoint web part.
Are the demo files not compatible with regular Flash player or is the trial version crippling the output files? If so, will I need to download the actual software to fix this problem?
Once I purchase the software, will all employees in my organization be able to view the SWF file I create?
Thanks.

Protecting EXE, PDF and SWF files from piracy

I am hoping others in the community have some experience with protecting their Captivate output (EXE and SWF files) from piracy. We will be selling our eLearning products developed with Captivate through our online store and want to protect them against file sharing and other forms of piracy. I have found several companies online offering DRM (digital rights management) and SAS (software activation services) that require users to enter a license key to use the products. I am looking for any recommendations from users who have implemented these types of services. What provider did you use and what issues did you encounter. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason

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

How Can I protect my swf files from decompiling / saving

I have navigated through the internet for a long time now but
could not find the solution to my problem which is "how to protect
my swf file from decompiling/saving"?
I know that it CAN BE DONE and here is an example of a file
on the internet that cannot be saved or decompiled using any
software that I have come across (ie:SOTHINK decompiler, saveflash)
http://www.3dinternet.com/video.swf
Any help? any hints ?
Thanks
Hagop

Hagop,

There is no way to protect your SWF from decompiling. Any
commercial
software on the market can be decompiled -- including the
Flash authoring
tool and Photoshop, for example -- which is why softare
generally ships with
an end user license agreement (EULA) that expects you to
agree not to
decompile or reverse engineer your purchase.
Most Flash content (other than RTMP requests for video, for
example) are
HTTP requests, which by nature means the content is
downloaded to your hard
drive, just like HTML documents, CSS files, JPGs, and GIFs.
Your browser
requests the files, downloads them to your hard drive, then
displays them
from your local copy.
> I know that it CAN BE DONE and here is an example of a
> file on the internet that cannot be saved or decompiled

> any software that I have come across
What you've seen, then, is merely the result of software
that uses
unknown (to you or to your sofware) encryption/obfuscation
algorithms. Keep
trying, and you'll eventually nail it.
At best, you can use obfuscators to temporarily deter a
certain segment
of the decompiling-inclined population.

Problem for PCs recieving attached SWF files from Mac Mail 2.1.3

Hi All,
When I send this file from my mac mail 2.1.3 (753.1) with a SWF (flash animation) attachment the file wont open on the PC client mail. Instead when I force the unknown attachment to open it says the below with a string of letters.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Type: application/applefile;

Try creating an archive of the SWF file (.zip) and email that instead. But the recipient needs to have an application on their PeeCee that will open SWF files; Outlook or Outlook Express will not do that.

Not able to read the wsdl file from server Premature EOF encounter

Hi All,
I am facing issue while accessing a web Service from server. Here is the clear view about it.
I created a simple SyncBpel process in a composite and deployed in to the server and it is working fine. Later i created a new Asyn bpel process in a composite and in the external reference i dragged a web Service and imported the wsdl url from server of the SyncBpel and wired the Asynbpel process to webserive .
Now here i am facing peculiar behavior which i am not able to trace it out.
1) For the first time when i import the url of syncBpel from the server i am not facing any error and it is working fine as expected but when i close the Jdeveloper and open it i am not able to user the web Service and it is saying as "Not able to read the wsdl file from server Premature EOF encounter"
2)When i close and open the Jdeveloper i can see the url of the wsdl which imported in webserver is changing from http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/bpelsync_client_ep?WSDL to http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/BPELsync.wsdl
3)when I open and see the url http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/bpelsync_client_ep?WSDL I can see the soap address as *<soap:address location="http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel!1.0*soa_5cfb8416-c106-40a2-a53b-9054bbe04b9c/bpelsync_client_ep"/>*
I don’t understand why the soap end contains “*soa_5cfb8416-c106-40a2-a53b-9054bbe04b9c” and this kind of url for soap address is coming to all the bpel process which I am deploying in the server.
I checked the in Jdeveloper where webproxy is uncheck and the server is also up but still I am facing issue of reading the error.
Can someone please help in resolving the issue.
I am using SOA 11g 11.1.1.5 and Jdeveloper 11.1.1.5
Many thanks.
Tarak

Hi,
Setting default from the jdeveloper -
During composite deployment from Jdeveloper (wizard driven), you will be given an option to choose the version of the composite and there will also be an option for you to choose if the composite needs to be deployed as default.
Setting default from the em console -
After deploying a composite, login to the em console and click on the composite that you want to set as default, and you will find a tab - "Set as Default". please note that this tab will not be seen, if the composite is already set as default.
