Adobe Captivate Flash Buttons in Moodle

I am using flash SWF files to control Captivate Course in Moodle and I have trouble with CLOSE pop up window flash button. It works in IE and FIrefox but not in Chrome and OPERA when course is opened via Moodle. I have created simple html page with link that opens pop up window containing the same course and this way the button works in all browsers. ????? Again, in MOOdle it doesn't.
In Chrome Developer Tools I have tracked this error when clicking on close pop up window flash buttom: Ignoring cross-frame javascript URL load requested by plugin.
The button itself is using this AS3:
pbcExit_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myBtnClicked);
function myBtnClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()"), "_parent");
Does anyone have a clue what is the problem?
Thank you,
Vito

How to integrate adobe flash widgets from Adobe captivate with Adobe Presenter?

Hi all,
We are a group of students who are creating a number of flash widgets that allows them to create e-learning activities. We are creating specific widgets in Flash for use in Captivate and then the results of the widgets in Adobe Presenter. The client noticed that widgets that work in Adobe Captivate don't always work in Adobe Presenter. Is there a way to make this function correctly?
Secondly, if it isn't possible to make that work correctly through the first method, is it possible to utilise Adobe Air to do the same or similar process. The client would prefer if we could integrate anything we use with an LMS and SCORM. But we believe it may not be possible to do this with Adobe Air.
Would someone be able to help us out with this?
Thanx

Some of the functionalities of CP4 (I assume that you use this version?) only work in a CP-published SWF, p.e. using the right mouse click as a trigger. I have inserted several CP-SWF's into Adobe Presenter, while using some of the widgets provided with CP4 and did not have any problems with these (p.e. Flash button). But I do not know what kind of widgets you created. Do they function all right in CP4 itself?

Problem with inporting Flash buttons into Captivate

Hello
I have tried looking around for the fix to this issue, I think I have seen the problem sorted, but not how they have done it.
The problem is that i have made an interface using flash, and inported the SWF into Captivate, this is just a simple pop up menu with buttons and hyperlinks. The issue that I have come accross is that when I come to close the pop up (inside the flash swf) if there is a captivate button behind it it will click this as well. I was wondering if there was a line of AS3 coding that I can add so that when the pop up is loaded it will disbale all the captivate buttons, mouse interactions etc.
Not sure if this should be here or in the flash forum, but as its a captivate/flash issue ive posted it here.
Thanks in advanced for any replies

Hi,
Download and install ActiveX if you use Internet Explorer.
You need to install plug-in if you use Firefox, Opera, or Safari.
The following link has step-by-step information: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_heading_5
Also, after installing ActiveX, ensure that you disable ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer. See the following link for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_

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.

Widgets in Flash from Adobe Captivate 5

I have Adobe Captivate5 and Web Premium CS5. In captivate, when I try to insert a question widget (File, New Project, Widget in Flash, Question) it opens Flash CS5 professional and I get the following error code in the OUTPUT section (in Flash):
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
At line 39 of file "data-16401608588.jsfl":
importPublishProfile: Argument number 1 is invalid.
I am unable to do anything with the widgets in Flash......
Has anyone had this problem? How could it be resolved so I can create a question widget using Captivate/Flash?

This appears to be an issue with Windows 7 if you don't run captivate in administrative mode. It works once I restarted the program in administrator mode.

Adobe Captivate 4 not detecting latest Flash Player

Hi,
I just put together a new laptop, and insatlled all the normal programs/drivers - flash player, adobe reader, etc.
I installed Flash Player 10 from your website, and received the confirmation flash screen "Congratulations you now have the latest..."
I installed Adobe Captivate 4 - Trial Version from your website without any problems downloading.
This is not my first attempt at installing/un-installing/re-installing both Captivate 4 and Flash Player 10 on this computer - I'm on my fourth attempt at reinstalling both programs.
I am running Vista Ultimate x86.
This computer meets all system requirements by Adobe Captivate 4.
Is this a problem with Captivate, Flash Player, or (doubtful) my computer?
Thanks!

Lilybiri,
This is odd, I am certain that I read an addendum on the Flash 10 download page last week, it explained that the incompatibility problem was fixed.
That message is no longer present today.
Other than that, some security changes were also made to Flash 10 that may impact your work. See this link: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10_security_changes_print.html#hea d32
To check your current version go here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
I am using version 10.0.32.18. I have run many compatibility tests and haven't found problems with this version of Flash.
If version 10 is causing problems for you, uninstall by going here: http://kb.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
Some better instructions I found:

Adobe Captivate 4 - Flash Not Installed Error

We are using Adobe Captivate 4 on Windows 7. Since the Microsoft Windows Updates around January 8, we are unable to open Adobe Captivate 4. We get the message that the Flash Player is to be installed and the application shuts down after the message that an Internet connection is required. I have followed the steps on the Adobe Help page: Error: "Adobe Flash Player is not currently installed" when you start Adobe Captivate with no success. I have even uninstalled Adobe Captivate 4, reinstalled it and followed the instructions on the aforementioned Help page. No luck. I am running Firefox and Internet Explorer and IE is the default browser. Adobe Captivate 4 acts as though it cannot connect to the Adobe Flash website, but I already have the most current Flash Player installed. We use Adobe Captivate 4 primarily for Quizzes since we can effectively e-mail the results to trainers. We do have Adobe Captivate 7 and the Quiz Results e-mail feature does not send the results; only a blank e-mail shell. Is there any solution to this Captivate 4 problem?

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.

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.

Adobe captivate video publisher upload button does nothing

Hi, on 2 different machines, the adobe captivate video publisher upload button does nothing. Add to that support says it's not available when I called in on a trial product. Hmmm if you won't help BEFORE I buy, what will happen after? c'mon... i've purches thousands of dollars worth of adobe software and currently own the creative cloud ...and I get the brushoff like that? Oh and the chat system wasn't working becuase the queue was too full....

lol. Great day. Just not for Adobe! . Worked fine on my older imac 27", but not my 2 new machines at work... macbook air and pc with a lowly 24gb ram... go figure.

Linking Flash and Adobe Captivate

Greetings all;
I have a .swf file generated out of Adobe Captivate showing a
product demonstration. I also have an introduction to said
demonstration created in Flash CS3. What I want to do is link them
so that at the end of the intro the demo will play. I also would
like the demo to download while the intro is playing as the file is
15mb in size. I have added a second scene to the intro and placed
in frame 1 a command to load the movie (the Captivate movie). At
the end of the intro on Scene 1 I have a frame with a command to go
to scene 2 and play. It functions but the captivate .swf file has
not yet loaded when the scenes switch, hence causing a long break
between scenes.
Any thoughts and/or hints would be greatly appreciated.
JN

What is your operating system & version?
What do you mean by "Flash": Flash Player, Flash Builder, Flash Professional?

How load swf file (flash 8) with adobe captivate 3 without enter the HTML?

How load swf file (flash 8) with adobe captivate 3 without enter the HTML?

Hi SaSQuaCh69247,
Issue 1 :- Select the SWF file in library, right click, and
select update.
Issue 2 :- Actually it could be valid for Issue 1 also. It
seems like SWF file you are trying to import, does some action
like, importing another swf or connecting to server on the first
frame itself. Captivate will try to play the first frame of SWF
when you import them. Try creating a keyframe with the stop action
as the first frame in your SWF, and see if you still have the
issue.
Issue 3 :- The approach I am mentioning over here is
generally the last approach which I will take in such scenerios,
but since you have already experimented a little, so try this.
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
Rename captivate_v20.dat as captivate_v20_org.dat.
Restart Captivate Application.
thanks

Running adobe captivate keeps asking for flash even though its already installed

running adobe captivate keeps asking for flash even though its already installed

iTunes will ask you to enter your password when buying songs for each browsing "session". This wouldn't explain why you are being asked to enter it every 3 minutes though.
I would suggest logging out of your Apple ID on iTunes and logging back in. Also, you may verify that your computer is "Authorized" for use with your iTunes content.
To do this on a Mac, go to the "Store" tab at the top of the screen and click "Authorize this Computer"

ActionScript on Flash buttons

I am just getting back into using Captivate 2.0 to create
some online training and I need some assistance using
JavaScript/ActionScript in Flash buttons. I created a series of
buttons that are part of a single Flash .swf file. I'm using these
buttons as kind of a "main menu" and I would like each of the
individual buttons in the exported Flash .swf file to perform one
of the following functions:
- Open another Captivate project in the same (parent) browser
window, or...
- Jump to a specific slide in the current project
I layed out all the buttons in a single .swf file so I
wouldn't have to import individual buttons into my Captivate
project. So how do I define the ActionScript for each button in
Flash to achieve these functions?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Brian

Hey Brian,
You can easily open another .HTM file using Javascript, but
doing so generally won't allow you to do any tracking of results.
Successful results tracking pretty much requires that an LMS is
launching each file. That said, opening a new file requires only
the following line of Javascript, where the path can be either
relative or absolute:
window.location.href = "<path to new file>";
As for jumping to a specific slide in a given file, Adobe
Community Expert Paul Dewhurst contributed to a discussion topic in
these forums that references using an undocumented internal
Captivate array to navigate to a specific slide via Actionscript.
You can check it out here:

How can I change the function of a flash button?

Hello,
Not sure if this should go in the Flash forum or Captivate forum, but does anyone know how where to find ActionScript 3 commands for Captivate?
I downloaded a pre-made Flash button (source file) for Adobe Captivate that was originally made to make a video go to the next slide, when pressed. It does that fine, but I wanted to know how to use the ActionScript code in Flash Professional CS5 to have the button JUMP to a specific slide in Captivate, instead of just go to the NEXT slide. I know generally how code works, but have never really used it, and don’t know the specific command to make that happen. Currently the relevant part of the code in the Flash button reads:
function clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
                var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
                var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
                mainmov.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
I suspect that I just have to change the last line to something else and it should work, but I would need the command. Can anyone tell me what needs to be changed in the above code to make that happen?
The full code is below. Thanks.

You are awesome. Thank you. That was extremely helpful. Michael also gave me a list of variables to use. However, when I use:
cpCmndGotoSlide = 5
It always jumps to slide 9, regardless of the value I put in the place of the '5'. So it does jump to a slide, but I can't yet get it to jump to the slide I want. In other words,
cpCmndGotoSlide = 7
or
cpCmndGotoSlide = 13
or
cpCmndGotoSlide = 44
etc,
produces the same result: jump to slide 9. I followed the same format... Any idea why it wouldn't be working?
Here is the full script:
this.stop();
// Set up event listeners
main.btn2_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over);
main.btn2_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, out);
main.btn2_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clicked);
// functions for eventlisteners
function over(e:MouseEvent):void{
    main.button1_mc.gotoAndPlay("s1");
function out(e:MouseEvent):void{
    main.button1_mc.gotoAndPlay("s2");
function clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
    var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
    var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
    mainmov.cpCmndGotoSlide = 5;

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version does not have. If i publish to Flash QMP does not see the file.

Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!
Thanks
