Importing swf file with skin and closed captioning problems

I created a flv file in Preimere and I pulled it into flash to create close captioning.  When I publish it, it creates a swf file that I can open up on its own and it has the skin with the button to push to show the closed caption.  When I try to bring that file into captivate, it doesnt bring in the skin and it just automatically shows the captions.  How do I get it to bring the skin in with it?

Are you seeing this problem when you preview you project. or only after you publish it? If it is when you publish, is it in both the local version and/or in the web version?
Also, which version of Flash Catalyst? 1.0 or 5.5.?

  • CP8 Interactions and slides with audio and closed captions - not working well - please help

    Okay, I am using cp8 on a windows 8 64 bit machine. I have placed an interaction on a slide. I also have audio on that slide and closed captions.
    When I get to the slide, the audio does not play because the mere fact that the interaction is on there makes the slide pause upon enter. I could have the student click play on the playbar to go, but that is not required on slides without interactions, so I don't like that solution. I also could do an On Enter slide Play Audio and pick the wav file, but then the closed captions don't show up.
    So, the question is, how do I have the slide automatically play the audio at the slide level without the student having to click the play button to go?? Slides with interactions should behave just like other slides with objects/widgets on them. This auto pausing thing is driving me nuts!
    Thanks,
      Lori

    Lori, this is puzzling! Are you talking about one of the learning interactions included with Captivate? If yes, which one? My puzzlement is due to the fact that what you described is what happened in CP6: interaction paused slide at first frame (I had a workaround for audio). But since CP7 interactions do not pause any slide, you'll have to provide the pause yourself. There are some exceptions (games).

  • Import swf file with drag & drop action

    Hello!
    I created a flash animation with drag & drop.
    I imported the swf into Captivate 3, but when I publish the
    project, the animation don't work.
    Can you suggest me some workaround to understand the problem?
    Best regards

    Hi kpurple and welcome to our community
    When you published the project, did you ensure to copy all
    the associated files? Normally the added .SWF files exist as
    external files that need to exist in the same folder as your
    Captivate files.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Import swf files in CP3, but export without any voice?

    Did anyone have the same problem with me?
    I imported swf file in slide and published. But I can't hear any voice in the slide....
    At the same time, I tried to import as flv file and published, then it works. Voice in slide can be heard with no problem.
    How can I fix the problem? thanks!!

    Hi,
    Just a quick check. Go to menu item " Edit > Preferences" and select category "Publish Settings".
    Confirm that option "Include Audio" is checked.
    regards,

  • How to place a Flash swf file with a movie FLV file embedded in DW

         My hair is getting shorter by the hour or maybe missing.  I have created a SWF file with Flash 8 that has an embedded FLV file that was created from a MP4 file.   The SWF file works perfectly in FLASH including my Flash nav buttons, and the movie with soundtrack and the buttons for control of volume and start stop.  Now I am ready to place it on the web using DW to make the html page.  What happens when I test the page on FireFox or IE is the background loads, the buttons load but do not work properly anymore but worse than that:  The slide show and the control buttons do not even show up. 
         I am also having trouble defining my site locally.  I select new site and tell it where every thing is but no luck. All in the same directory, right now I have a image directory but I have not used them on the page as the only image is a jpg and flv file and they are embedded in the swf file.
         I know this is 2 different programs but the Flash files need to be placed in a HTML file to be uploaded, and I have to text them first.
    HELP

  • Error by exporting Captivate to Word: "Project Captions and Closed Captions"

    Hello everybody,
    I'm from Germany, working in Heidelberg and I've got a problem! I would so much appreciate if somebody would have a solution for it.
    Nobody could help me yet - no Adobe support via chat, no Adobe support via phone. They said the forum is my last chance. I'm frustrated. But a solution is important for my ongoing project...
    Description of the problem situation:
    I've created an e-learning project in German language. This e-learning shall be translated into other languages, so I want to export a word document with the captions inside. I'm doing this way:
    File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions, and save it as word doc.
    But then, after I typed in a name for the word document, another "Save as"-window appears in the background (I discovered it by coincidence) and wants me to save a word template before the export process starts. Here's a screenshot:
    I don't know the reason for this second "Save as" window, so I try to save a word template (I saved it on my desktop, because I don't know where else).
    After klicking on "Save" the following error message appears:
    (in English: Error by exporting of captions. Try the following things: if Microsoft Word is installed, if Word is open, if the exported file is open etc.)
    It's not depending on the captivate file as such, I tried it with other ones (which have only one slide) - the same problem.
    It's not depending on my computer, I tried it with another one in my office - there was the same thing, same error message (but without the step of saving a word template!).
    Maybe important: My hardware and versions I'm working with...
    Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1), 64bit
    Adobe Captivate 8
    Microsoft Word 2010
    Does anyone has the same problem or does anyone know the answer for this problem?
    I would really really appreciate your answers!! Thank you in advance!
    Chris

    Dear Mayank, dear Lilybiri,
    thank you both soooo much, I couldn't belive what I saw as the export of captions worked!!! It was really surprising!
    I guess your both solutions helped me out - Mayank's hint of the admin's rights was the necessary information! But it first worked because Lilybiri told me to insist and to try it after I restarted the PC - and to do it several times! So it worked!! Otherwise I would probably still be confused.
    Thank you so much!
    Here's the proof
    Chris
    PS: Does anyone know, why I still have to decide if I want to save the "Adobe Captivate" Template thing?
    Every time I'm doing an export it asks me every time if I want to save or not save the "Adobe Captivate"-file...

  • SWF file with white border

    Hi
    I'm trying to import an SWF file (with associated movie and captioning) into Acrobat Pro 9.
    I'm placing it using a URL from my server.
    The video places fine but I'm getting a white border top and bottom of the file. This is a problem as there is a coloured background to the Acrobat file I'm trying to place the movie.
    The white border doesn't exist when I view the file in Flash.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Andy

    Andy:
    Have you checked the properties of the imported file. Control-Click on the file with the Video Tool and a fly-out menu will appear where you can bring up it's properties. You should be able to see if a border is set there.

  • Text caption in hidden not exported (export /project captions and closed captions)

    If you have in your demonstration text caption (ballooons) in
    hidden , if you export the project caption to word it's not in
    there...
    I use to set some text captions to hidden to ease my life on
    slides that contain lots of ballons (and some over other ones) ,
    when I export the flash animation, everything is fine , all is in
    there (including the "hidden text") .
    The trouble is that if i export the "project caption and
    closed caption" to Word , the text of captions in hidden is not in
    there . (I'm not talking about exporting handsout where you have an
    option to export as well hidden slides.)
    Exept if I'm wrong, I have not founded any option to manage
    the fact to export hidden caption as well (or set all hidden
    caption of the demonstration to "not hidden") .
    It is really a problem , especially if you have done lots of
    movie that needs translation, you have sent the "exported caption"
    to the translation service and now you realise that some parts are
    missing .... ;(

    Hi There,
    When you export the doc file as Project Caption and Closed Caption. if you change the fonts and style in Doc file and the reimported it in Captivate. It will accept those changes and you can see those changes in Captivate with the same fonts settings.
    Thanks

  • Importing flash files (with sound!) can it be done?

    Hi!
    I sucessfully importing a flash file but im not sure if the sound has imported with it, does anyone know if I can import a flash file with sounds or do I have to import the sound seperatly?
    Helen

    Helen,
    After Effects can import .SWF files but unfortunately it does not recognize the audio in a .SWF file.
    If it helps, AE can import .FLV files and it WILL recognize the audio in them.

  • Actions not working to imported swf files in Flash Catalyst

    Hi,
    I have a problem with manipulating my imported swf files (created in Flash professional) in Flash Catalyst CS5. Whenever I add any of the swf control actions to a swf file in the timeline such as 'stop', the animation ignores it and keeps replaying. I tried to add action sequence when a certain button is pressed, and also tried to create 'On application Start' and added 'stop' so that the animation stops immediately when the application opens. No matter what I do, the animation refuses to perform the actions and simply replays. The animation is a simple shape tween between 2 states with no action script attached to it. I published the animation as an swf and exported it to Flash Catalyst. Is there any suggestions whatsoever on why this is happening? Is it something to do with setting up my flash file prior to import? The only way I figured out to stop the animation from playing is adding action script to the flash file in Flash Professional however this is not what I want because I would like the animation to be controlled by components in my flash Catalyst document.
    Thanks

    You can make you swf a custom component with 2 states.
    The first state will be empty and rename it "OFF" the second state will have your swf file and name it ON.
    Then go back to your artboard/project, add your 2 buttons ON & OFF.
    For the ON button add interaction "play transition to custom component ON"
    For the OFF button add interaction "play transition to custom component OFF"
    Here is an example swf_control

  • Can Adobe Interactive PDFs play sound from imported .swf files

    Hello.
    I'm really really stuck, can anyone help? I'm on 10.8.3 using In Design CS6
    I am trying to get an interactive PDF with imported .sfw files with sound to play ....the sound. Preview is fine in the working file - but as per the previous query on thishttp://forums.adobe.com/message/4772574 - The interactive PDF loses the sound. I tried installing ezPDF - but it's an app and I don't know how to install it to work (I think it's meant for  iPADs). So...does anyone know if I can have an imported .swf file play when exported to an Interactive PDF and also work on an end users PC?...should I be able to install ezPDF reader on my MAC and get everything working?
    Any help would be good as this is day 3 having called Adobe on Day 1 which was fruitless.
    Thanks

    Really hard to say without seeing the whole project, but my guess is that you have moved your exported SWF somewhere from it´s original location (where you exported it to) without moving Resources folder to same target location too... when you place video, audio or SWF to your layout, indesign does not embedd it to resulting SWF. Those files will be stored into a resources folder which always has to be at same root with exported SWF. Media files will be loaded dynamically from that folder at runtime.
    So you can guess what happens if that folder does not exist....

  • Can I control imported SWF files?

    I'm being a pest today. Anyway, I have a primary SWF files
    with buttons to browse through pages. If I import another SWF into
    the file, can I use these buttons to control the imported one?
    Should be a simple enough question.

    localconnection should be used if the two swfs are open in 2
    browser windows (or 1 browser window and a projector file or 2
    projector files).
    otherwise, if your using loadMovie(), loadMovieNum() or
    loadClip() you should be using the normal path.filename
    reference.

  • How to generate SWF file with dynamic data but no live connection

    Hello,
    We got a requirement where we have to email out SWF file either in PPT or outlook generated from BOBJ universe. When the file reaches the customer who would be outside our network with no access to our servers or data should be able to view the swf file with data. So the goal is to generate these files automatically and should not prompt for BOBJ login or wouldn't have ability to query the database but need to report data pertaining to the customer.
    Any help in this regards is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Manohar

    Hi Manohar,
    You can use QAAWS(query as a web services) and build your queries on universe.
    You get an option of hardcoding the user id and password in the data connection for QAAWS which will not asks the users for login credentials.
    This will hepl the user to veiw the latest data from the database and the user wont be asked for login too.
    Thanks,
    Amit.

    BTW sometimes flash uses communication with server to obtain some information before/during running. In such case you'll need to provide kind of your own HTTP server, pass swf to browser using HTTP protocol (not directly from HDD) then pass all additional data.
    Hope this is not your case :)
