Adobe Captivate 4 - Flash Movie with Text Animation

I'm working on a project which has a slide which includes a Flash Video.
I'd like to put a Text caption over the video.
I've tried Text Caption and Text Animation.
Neither of these work......
Please let me know if there is some way to do this which I haven't considered or I need to adjust my settings.
Thank you,
David Gambal

Unfortunately, that is not an option. I work for a state government and the computers are locked down for security reasons. Updates are handled by an IT group and pushed out to all state computers. We were running Flash Player 10 and everything worked fine until the Flash Player Update was pushed out as a Microsoft Update on January 8th. There have been subsequent "Security Updates" to the Flash Player pushed out via Microsoft and none have corrected the problem. Even if I could uninstall the current Flash Player and install an older version, it would just be updated to the current Flash Player tonight.

How to make tables move with text

In Pages '09 and Pages 5.0, tables that I set to move with text do not move with text. They overlap text. That is, the table and non-table text occupy the same space, which does not seem to be the intention behind "move with text". In Pages 5.0, I try to fix the problem by selecting a text wrap option such as "Above and below", since I do want text above my table and below my table and I want the table to move with the text when the text changes. But choosing "Above and below" automatically changes the object placement option from "Move with Text" to "Stay on Page", so the table does not move with the text. Re-choosing "Move with Text" once again makes the table and the text overlap, which renders the document unusable.
I have been frustrated with this behavior for years. I got around it in Pages '09 by using linked text boxes and putting tables outside the text boxes or by putting multi-page tables in their own text boxes without any other text. Since Pages 5.0 does not have linked text boxes, my old work-arounds are no longer possible.
I must be missing something simple here. What is it?
Thanks for any help.

If the Table is an inline object then it follows the rules of the text it is sitting in.
ie Line Spacing, Space Before and Space After.
The Line Spacing is the crucial specification. The Table should be in its own paragraph and have Line Spacing Multiple set, usually to 1, with before and after spacing to set it off from surrounding text.
Inline Objects are one case where you should use Multiple Line Spacing because they vary in size and it is best to let Pages work out what space to give them.

I can't select "move with text" in object placement on Pages?

I just imported an image (command shift V) and somehow when I click on "move with text" it doesn't toggle anymore! It seems to be deactivated.
Could someone help me?

I just found out. The image was close to an end of session token.

Adobe Captivate 6 problem with Review area text on Quiz results page

Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 6 and I have a test at the end of my project with the built in 'Quiz results page' at the end.
However, the standard 'review area' provided always seems to play up for me. I have changed the 'quiz results messages' through the preferences and changed the font of the review area, but everytime I play my project the message displayed is in a different font that I did not set and the size is so large that the sentence goes off the screen. It has done this on numerous projects.
I have changed the font of the review area and it shows up on my normal view, but everytime I preview the project or publish it, the font changes back to a strange default.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thank you.

Hannah,
That is a very well-known bug in the last Captivate versions... if you screen these forums you'll find multiple threads complaining about it. Some fonts will work, I think Calibri works (not all styles however) and all the other fonts revert to Times New Roman. I'm a bit puzzled that you call it a 'strange default'.

Captivate/Flash Movie Starts Automatically

I'm learning to use RoboHelp X5 and tried placing an .swf
(Flash movie) that I created with Captivate within my WebHelp. In
Captivate I added a playback control bar (forward, pause, play,
etc.), which works great standalone. However, after generating the
WebHelp, when I view the page that the movie is on, the movie
starts automatically---actually it waits about 8 seconds, but then
just starts. I would expect the person viewing the movie to have to
use the playback control to manually start the movie. Is there an
option somewhere that I need to turn on/off?
Thanks,
John

Hi John and welcome to the community
There are two ways I'm aware of that can be used to
accomplish this.
The first and possibly simplest way is to simply insert a
click box at the very beginning of the movie. By default, click
boxes are configured to pause the movie until the user interacts by
clicking the click box area. Actually, if you are presenting your
movie in .EXE format, I believe this is the only way you can
accomplish it.
The second way is to configure the HTML code used in the HTML
Companion page. Obviously this only works if you are presenting
your movie in .SWF format and using the companion HTML page to
display the movie.
Captivate creates the following code when you create Flash
(SWF) output and select the Export HTML option.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01

http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" menu="false"></embed>
</object>
</center>
</body>
</html>
If you amend this code by inserting <param name="play"
value="false" /> and play="false", you achieve the goal of
displaying the movie in a "paused to begin with" state.
Amended code is below

Flash movies with play button don't work

I have the 'simple' problem that everytime I see a "play" button on a web page with flash content, clicking on it won't start the movie. However, e.g. YouTube movies work fine. So it seems it's just movies that do not start automatically after clicking on a link.
Also, checking the flash player e.g. at the Adobe site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html), tells me in a flash box I have the latest flash player installed, and I see the flash movie 'flash player is running on your system' with the red ball rolling in it.
I have the same problem for both google Chrome and for IE.
I still have an old Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook with Win XP (latest updates) and ATI mobility Radeon X300 graphics chip, for which I also installed the latest available drivers.
Experimenting with Flash Player settings was unsuccessful so far (e.g. no hardware acceleration, clearing all internet data in the Flash Player global settings tool).
My desktop (also with Win XP and with the same browsers and Flash Players/Flash Plugins installed works fine...).
I also know that it worked at an earlier time with this NB...
I managed to run the movie with a Linux Live CD but that is not what I want to do every time...
Any idea is highly appreciated.....

Hi BalusC, i have saved the datamodel (a ArrayList) in SessionBean. It can't be null. The rows of table display correct. I don't understand, why functions buttons with ObjectArrayDataProvider, but not with ObjectListDataProvider?
I found a page with same problem: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=549675&tstart=30

Masking entire flash movie with setMask() ?

Hi,
I have a long linear flash presentation with many scenes. Besides web playback my clients asked for a standalone projector file as well. Upon making it full screen with FS command during playback, initial off stage area elements are visible when they animate into the stage on widescreen monitors...for example text moving in from left. I don't want to mask every layer in over thirty something scenes...is there an easier way by applying a mask in actionscript to the movie itself? I know setMask() works for movieclips but is there a way to apply the setMask() method to the entire presentation in AS2 because the following did not seem to work:
_root.setMask(stageMaskShapeMC); or _level0.setMask(stageMaskShapeMC); ?
Thanks,
Attila

Ok, I have figured it out. The code works but in order to call the MC from the library as a mask it has to be used with the attachedMovie function first to make it appear on the stage. So the following works if the linkage is set up under the mask MC properties in the library:
_level0.attachMovie("StageShapeMC", "stageMask", 30000 ,{_x:0, _y:0});
_level0.setMask(stageMask);

Playing different flash movies with Javascript

I've been researching this on the web to no avail so I figured I would post.
I am developing a homepage similar to http://www.extractable.com/
I have several different areas of text, which when you hover over them, I would like a different flash movie to play. I have created this using pictures (example of one piece of the code is below), but want to increase the flashyness with, well, flash
      if (obj.id =="txtHolderPrograms")
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").style.filter="blendTrans(duration=.5)";
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").filters.blendTrans(duration=.5).Apply();
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").src = "PMDO.png";
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").filters.blendTrans(duration=.5).Play();
      document.getElementById("imgLargePictureHREF").href = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
I have a div where I want the different movies to play in. What is the best way to get the different flash files? Keep in mind that extractable site is doing just about exactly what I want to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I can't tell how you have things set up between the title of your posting and what you say to explain the problem. What are you calling pages? How do the pageselate to the 2 flash file in the doc you mention?

BPM Workspace can't display the flash movie with IE

Hi
We have the following problem, we have a BPM project with a flash screen, when we execute the project in the workspace of BPM studio we can see the Flash, but when we published the project in BPM Enterprise , the workspace can't display the flash movie, it just display the panel without buttons and fields. This happen just in Internet Explorer, in other browsers we can see the flash.
Any idea or solution ??
Thanks in advance

Actually, I got it working now...
It seems that I have to have all the files in the same folder
as the page it displays on!
Historically I would dump a standard flash clip (not a
converted movie with buttons) into the /images folder.
I tested this intitally in a /video folder (just to keep all
the files in one place) which would display the clip but not the
buttons but as soon as I moved the files in the same directory as
the page itself (which is the main index.html) it worked fine!
So if anyone does read this is there a reason for that as I
would like to keep everything in separate folders!
Cheers, J

Adding an Adobe Captivate 4 file with external links to Moodle

Hi - Does anyone know how to upload an adobe captivate 4 file so external links within the published adobe cp file open when playing in moodle? I have attached a wmv video that does not open. Also I have attached a swf Raptivity file that does not open.
Thanks, Sandra

The wvx file is only really a small text file containing something like this code:
<ASX VERSION="3.0">
<ENTRY>
<REF HREF="myvideo.wmv" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>
It seems to just make Windows Media Player happier when loading wmv file for some reason. I had to resort to using this file at one client site running an IIS web server. You point your link in Captivate at the wvx file, which then loads the video. The wvx file can have quite a lot of other code inside it to do fancy stuff. But that's not essential.
If your question is now answered, please mark it at the top.

Is adobe captivate 7 compatable with OS X Yosemite?

I have a new Adobe Captivate 7 and after I installed it, the icon will bounce 3 or 4 times and then close. it will not run at all. I have a Macbook pro retina. Is adobe captivate compatable with OS X Yosemite?

HI Phillip,
Captivate 7 does work with Yosemite but it is not tested with Restina Display. Can you try to install Captivate 8 trial version and see if you are getting the same issue?

How do I embed flash movie with detection

Hi - I want to embed a movie below a banner image in a web
page. I want to use flash detection so that the right player is
used. I've got Flash professional 8 so it spits out an HTML page
with the flash detection script written to it. In the body section
of the HTML is a <script> tag with the document.write called
if the detection is succesful. What I've tried to do is put my
banner image in a div above the script tag. This seems to work in
Firefox but gives me a tiny little stretched banner image and a
tiny little stretched flash movie when I try the page in IE7.
I've attached my HTML below. Why is this happening?

I found the answer - I was using dynamic positioning of
elements in a javacript file and was using
document.documentElement.clientHeight to get the clientheight. IE7
no longer recognises this and has started using the standards
compliant document.body.clientHeight.

Link flash movies to text

I am trying to linking each FLV movie imported into the Library to a word on my Samples page. Ex. Wedding linked to a wedding clip, School play linked to a school play clip. Unfortunately, the add interaction button only allows me to select the first movie that was brought into the Samples page.
How can I link multiple movies to one flash movie player?

The link above shows how to link artwork to specific FLV videos. It seems a little more difficult using only words.
