ADOBE CAPTIVATE 5 LMS course launch #Scene_1

I have an adobe captivate course my associate has created in Captivate 5.  This course is just like everyone of his previous courses he has created.  But this course starts on a page title captivatecourse.htm   and after about 30 seconds to 1 minute redirects the URL to captivatecourse.htm#Scene_1.
notice: this redirection does not happen in the mozilla or firefox browsers.  Only in Internet Explorer.
OK SO THIS IS THE PROBLEM.
We us a inline frame to launch our training courses inside of our LMS.  This little redirection " #Scene_1 " in the browser is causing the course to behave terribly and causing the course to stop responding.  Sometimes it just causes the content to jump around.
When this happens it also causes the sytem to not bookmark and not save scores.  Actually all LMS activity stops responding after it hits #Scene_1.
I was wondering if anyone has run into this problem with a CAPTIVATE COURSE and what is the work around.  To note: the workaround  of opening the course in a new browser window is not an option right now.  Management wants the course to stay within the same browser window.
-doug lubey of louisiana

how is this causing a problem.
when the captivate course /javascript changes the url / page title from coursexxx.htm to coursexxx.htm#Scene_1; it causes the javascript to load a swf file some how.  it appears to be a bug in the captivate course / swf files /javascript files or the combination their of.
What the #Scene_1 is doing: it is causing the course to load
A 2nd time
A 3rd time
A 4th tine
Etc..
I think the problem is caused by the captivate course causing some javascript to run:
because the Url changes to  coursexxxx.htm#Scene_1  and the title of the course in the browser
also changes to course title + scene 1 
search reference captivate 5  year:2010
problems running a captive course using inline frames
captivate training course url is changed once the course is launched
course posted as a scorm 2004
i tested this problem in multiple lms systems and it is a consistent problem when playing the content within a inline frame

  • Adobe Captivate 5 hangs when launched...

    I downloaded the trial of Captivate 5, and when I double click the icon to launch it, it just hangs and says "Loading..." but never loads, eventually I click on the Captivate logo, and an error box comes up stating the program must close.   I am using Windows 7 64 bit with about 750GB of free space.  Here is what I have tried thus far:
    I uninstalled, restarted and installed again, many times.
    I re-downloaded the trail and tried installing again, many times.
    I downloaded the updated UpdaterNotification32bit file and replaced it and rebooted.
    I do not have any other CS5 products on my computer
    Whenever I try to install, I do get the dialog box that states "A machine restart is required, quit and restart or continue", so I have restarted umpteen times, and there is no reason for it to have to be restarted, but that comes up every time I reinstall.  I have gone to the registry to delete HKEY_Local_Machine...\Inprogress file, but no such file exist in my registry.
    When Captive is hanging, it is using about 13% of the CPU and my memory sits at about 24%
    There are no open dialog boxes that are causing the hang.  Sometimes one comes up and I check it, sometimes nothing comes up.  Either way it hangs.
    I run the app as Administrator.
    And still Captivate 5 will not launch.  I did get it to open once, the first time I replaced the UpdaterNotification32bit file and restarted, but once I closed it, it went right back to the same problem.  Any suggestions?

    Here is the error I get...

  • Adobe Captivate 5 template?

    Hi,
    Looking for an Adobe Captivate 5 elearning course template. Includes title page, introduction of course objectives, content slides, question slides and summary. Anyone have one they would like to share?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    I would always consider it worth logging the bugs.  They'll get routed through to someone.  But I wouldn't hold my breath hoping for someone to acknowledge the bug or give you a trouble ticket telling you when it will be resolved.  That doesn't happen very often on these forums. 
    Just log the bug and carry on.

  • Exporting the result of output of adobe captivate to moodle LMS

    Please i am new to adobe captivate,
    I'm working on a project and we are using Moodle as LMS, i have developed some learning material for student using adobe captivate. The learning material has some quiz in it (tutor marked quiz).
    My major challenge is that i want to be able to put the scores from the quiz for each student into moodle as the student is taking the learnig material.
    I published the adobe captivate file to flash.
    Thanks

    For Moodle, I would suggest you use Report to LMS as Percent, not Score, and use Quiz Results Only.  Unless there is some compelling reason why you need to report Interactions and Score, I would just use Report Score.  The less information you throw at an LMS, the more likely it is to work for you in many cases.
    In your Manifest settings, set the Duration to a number of minutes tha corresponds to the duration of the course or module but make sure it is in the format shown (e.g. 00:30:00 for 30 minutes).  Some LMSs won't work properly without this setting. If you will be setting up a number of courses or course modules in the same Moodle server, you need to alter the default Identifiers that Captivate inserts so as to differentiate between all the various courses and course modules you may need to track.  If they all have the same identifiers, Moodle will think they're all the same course and your results will be faulty.
    When you add a course to Moodle you can specify if it's a SCORM course, which will mean that you can ONLY use a SCORM module as the content for that course.  But you can also insert a SCORM module as an activity in a normal Moodle course.  You just need to select that as the Activity type.
    If you will be working a lot with Moodle, I suggest you go to www.moodle.org and start reading their forum posts about setting up e-learning courses.

  • Adobe Connect as an LMS and Adobe Captivate html 5

    We are using Adobe Connect as an LMS.
    We can create and publish Adobe Captivate modules as html 5,
    Our problem is iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) can't access the courses through adobe Connect's courses and content because it is flash based and not supported by iOS.
    The result is we have html 5, we can publish it to Adobe Connect, iOS devices can use the link to run the course, but we can't use it with the Adobe Connect Course displays.
    Has any found a way to do that?
    Thank you.

    Ashwani,
    Thank  you for your request. I asked my developer for moire information - here are his clarifications for my question:
    ================================================================================
    Technically it's Adobe Connect itself and a curriculum on Adobe Connect that are giving us the problem. I just borrowed an iPad and tried to login to Adobe Connect. I can't even login - it tells me I need to download Flash.
    So the issue doesn't have anything to do with Captivate, it's Adobe Connect. We don't need to share any content - just try to login to Adobe Connect and you get stopped right there.
    The real issue is
    iOS users can't access HTML5 content on Adobe Connect because they can't login to Adobe Connect - that requires Flash. That means Adobe Connect isn't acting as an LMS, it's just a web server holding two kinds of content that you can link to. How can we login to Adobe Connect from an iOS device to see the list of curricula and access the courses they contain as an LMS with reporting, etc.?
    =====================================================================
    Would you still need to see the content?
    Thank you,
    Bill

  • When launching adobe captivate 7, i am required to login, I login and captivate never launches

    when launching adobe captivate 7, i am required to login, I login and captivate never launches

    You have to launch as an administrator, is not the same as  being administrator: use right-click menu on shortcut key or .exe  and change that permantently using the advanced tab.
    Don't have your documents on network drive, but copy the document to your system, and you can copy it back after finishing with it.

  • Remove imsmanifest catalog tag text 'Adobe Captivate Course'

    Greetings,
    After I've using elearning suite 6's multi-scorm packager (would love for this to be a part of basic Cp6, nuther topic),
    I see that in the imsmanifest for the root folder (zipped) there is a <catalog> tag with the text 'Adobe Captivate Course'. Please see pic.
    I don't remember seeing an opportunity to edit out this text and replace with a more accurate description. Of course I can edit it out of the imsmanifest.xml file, but I'd rather see where this can be removed/edited up front.
    Can someone explain what I'm missing or why this is happening?
    Much Thanks,
    k

    Hi
    Can you please forward the file, or share it in a shared location, so that we can look into the issue?\

    Hello,
    Thank you for replying.
    1)      I have followed the process you proposed to me.  But I never get the mention (of that kind of mention) : Having Trouble connecting to Internet.  So I can’t go further.  It seems to be impossible to install the software with an online connection but it seems to be impossible to install it without an offline connection as well.
    2)      A have an new question : Which ports and protocols should we open/follow to make the installation possible ?
    I have asked our IT department to investigate the point 1.  I am not sure they will find a solution and we may have to stop and give up.
    Thanks in advance for replying to my second question.
    Best regards.

  • Adobe Captivate LMS Compatibility Guide - Anyone Interested??

    Why is it so hard to find information about Captivate LMS Compatibility?
    I'll admit to being somewhat frustrated with the lack of easily procurable information about how to make Adobe Captivate content compatible with the plethora of LMS products now flooding the marketplace.  (There are over 100.) I had hoped for years that Adobe would put up a site (or at least a page or two) that listed LMSs and laid out the correct settings in Captivate to use for each one.  Sadly this hasn't happened.  And the search function on this forum seems to be broken, which makes it more than hard to find information about a given named LMS.
    So in desperation I've decided to try and provide a venue for this type of information myself.  I'm going to reserve a section on my website at www.infosemantics.com.au for information specific to Adobe Captivate LMS Compatibility.  I'll be listing anyLMS products there for which I can procure information related to using Captivate.  Headings on each LMS page will overview the LMS functionality, compatibilty with SCORM or AICC standards, any known issues with compatibility with Captivate content, what Cp quiz settings other users have found work successfully, as well as any modifications to templates, or workarounds that have proven useful.
    Naturally, I only have access to a small number of LMS products for testing. So I'm enlisting help from any LMS users on this forum to provide suggestions and information collaboratively.
    Here's what I need from you:
    Simply go to http://www.infosemantics.com.au/contact and leave a message stating the brand and version of LMS/s you use, and a contact email address where I can reach you for information on how you got your Captivate content to work with it.  I will add a new page to the LMS Guide covering every LMS for which people offer information and add the info under each heading.  Each LMS page will also allow comments so that other users can offer feedback and suggestions.  If the volume of response is to high for mere comments, I can add a forum for each LMS where users can exchange information on what worked for them.  User's interested in a given LMS can subscribe to that page so that they will be notified via RSS of any updates to information.
    I intend to create test projects in Cp5 that have various combinations of Quiz Settings which (according to user feedback) SHOULD WORK on each LMS.  You'll be able to download these zipped SCORM or AICC packages to test on your own LMS as well as the Captivate project files (cp and cptx format) used to create them, so that you can see the settings used.  Hopefully this will help you to debug compatibility with your own LMS.
    You can also leave a message on the contact form if you are trying to use a particular LMS but haven't had much success and would appreciate getting information about it.  I can't promise to find the answers, but someone else that chimes in might be able to do so once they know you're looking.
    My sincere hope is that over time this resource will build into something that will save a lot of time and angst for every Captivate developer trying to work with an ever-growing number of LMS products. More and more clients have them.  But it's a minefield out there.
    Anyone interested in participating in this attempt?

    No, I'm not only concerned with Cp5's LMS compatibility.
    I intend to put up information about all Captivate versions that anyone can supply information on.  Most likely this will be from about Cp3 onward.

  • Question on the Adobe Captivate 6.x Google LMS Widget With Email Reporting

    Im looking to use the Adobe Captivate 6.x Google LMS Widget With Email Reporting to collect quiz answers and results but due to security issues I would like to put the results directly into a databse and not into google.
    Does anyone have any experience in doing this and if so how what do I have to change to get the widget to send the results to the database.
    Thanks

    Email reporting has been removed in Captivate 6 out-of-the-box, though it can be achieved using a widget.
    You can use Michael’s widget to achieve the same - http://www.cpguru.com/email-reporting-widget-for-adobe-captivate/

  • Unable to Launch Adobe Captivate

    When I select Adobe Captivate in Programs (Windows 7), the Adobe Login screen displays and prompting me to enter my Adobe login for Adobe Captivate.  I enter in my valid username/pwd and nothing happends.  The login pop-up disappears and nothing happens.  I haven't used Captivate in about a month.  I originally had a trial version and then bought the license. I do recall entering in the license when I first used.  Now I am unable to launch the application.

    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Just want to confirm, Do you have Captivate 7 or Captivate 6 ?
    Click on Start -> On smart search type "Adobe Application Manager"
    Click on Red Application Manager

  • Adobe Connect 9 Training Course Video gets resized after being published from Captivate 6

    Hello!
    I have an FLV that I have published to Adobe Connect 9 from Adobe Captivate 6.
    I have set the size of the video to the dimensions that best display the FLV with player controls.
    However, when I publish to Adobe Connect 9, the video is resized to a smaller size and looks heavily pixelated.
    Is there a way to keep the dimensions and quality without Adobe Connect 9 resizing it?
    Here are the settings in Captivate 6:
    Here is the first screen for the preferences:
    Here is the second screen in Preferences:
    Here is what it looks like when viewed from Captivate 6 in a web browser:
    Here is what it looks like after it has been published and uploaded into the training in Adobe Acrobat 9:
    If you notice in the image above the video is smaller and the CMS logo is very pixelated due to Adobe Connect 9 resizing it.
    I am not sure how to keep the dimensions that I have from Captivate 6 and have it reflect after it has been published to Adobe Connect 9.
    And is there more functionality that I am not able to access since I am using a 30-Day trial.
    Thanks for taking the time to read and assist!
    Angelo

    You are correct that this is a known issue.  There was a fundamental change to the way objects are added to the timeline that came in with Cp6.  The result is that objects such as your SWF animations are only loaded at the time they are added to the timeline, and this causes the slide flickering you witness.  There's not really a lot you can do to get rid of it other than rebuilding all of your animations to be a single animation that once loaded will continue unabated until finished.

  • Issue with .flv Captivate and LMS

    Hi, I am testing an LMS that we will be rolling out in the
    New Year. We have produced some Captivate2 modules and have
    successfully loaded them as SCORM2004 onto the LMS and they run
    okay.
    I tried creating a .flv using Studio8 and inserted it into a
    Captivate 2. The module runs okay on my harddrive. I create the
    manifest.xml file and zip all the content and upload onto the LMS.
    The LMS will launch the file okay and it plays and stops at the
    point where the flv should play - but it doesn't there is nothing
    not even the small flv controls are displayed. If I click on the
    forward button it advances to the next part of the Captivate as
    normal.
    Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
    thanks
    Gerry

    I highly recommend you look at:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=67&catid=470&threadid =1203710&highlight_key=y&keyword1=flv
    This issue is one that is CAUSED by Adobe. The flvs work fine
    on an Adobe server. They are trying to force people to use their
    service.
    It sucks, and I hope someone fixes it soon -- not being able
    to play flv is ridiculous.

  • Adobe Captivate 6 and Shortcut Keys

    I have designed a course in Adobe Captivate 6 and want to include a Shortcut key such as CTRL+O which the user hits to perform an action like they do in a production system they are being trained on for their job (non Adobe related).
    When I set up a slidelet and the associated Action via a Shortcut to jump to a slide further down in the presentation this works in preview fine, but when I upload it to the LMS and test it there, it performs an Open function instead because this is being run in an Internet Brower.
    Does anyone know of anyway for the Captivate CTRL+O to supercede the Internet Explorer CTRL+O?
    Please let me know either way.
    Thank you...................

    Browser functions ALWAYS come before any functions of the content within the browser. 
    Trying to create course content that replicates keystroke shortcut behaviour of applications that use Function keys or Control keys is doomed to failure.
    I would recommend you find another way to display the required keystrokes (e.g. buttons or images on screen) and get your users to click with their mouse to indicate the correct keys.
