Animation stops in .exe playback

I am trying to publish a Captivate project as an .exe and any
embedded animation that is longer than 60 seconds is stopping
during playback even though the .swf's play fine by themselves. The
frame rates are consistant throughout and the slide lengths are all
the same as the animation length.
I am lost as to why this is happening. Any thoughts?
Thanks

well you answered yourself - 16,000 frames has always been
documented as the limit for flash
(frames, levels, loaded movies).
You will have to re-think your timeline - nobody ever reaches
this length (it's very rare) because
flash was never designed for such long running SWF movies
unless you break it down into several
smaller SWfs and loaded them dynamically (daisy-chain them).

Animation stops in the middle when preview in browser

I have run into a problem where the animation stops in the middle when I preview it in browser, but it is fine when I play it in the program. Please advise how to fix this problem. Thank you very much.

I've had this problem with a purchased song but never a ripped song. I think its an encoding problem with iTunes. One poster suggested converting the song, which kind of tells us that its something to do with the encoding. I can't remember the song that this happened with, some Tom Petty tune. But I do remember this, which is strange, this happened on my Touch but not the iPhone with same song.

Stop Oracle.exe from running in background?

Hi,
Since I installed Oracle 8i Personal Edition for Win 2000 (SP1), I have seen a great slowdown of my computer. It now takes much longer to start up Windows, longer to open applications and games (UT),.. I check Task Manger and see that Oracle.exe is consuming about 84 MB of my computer memory.
Can someone help me stop Oracle.exe from running like this?
Thanks a lot in advance
Trung.

Animation Stops Briefly

Hi. On rollOver a button it tells an MC to play. This MC has
a sound on a layer. However on(rollOver) the button it takes a
while to play the MC with sound when it should be immediate. Why
does this happen and how can it be fixed?

I'm having this problem too and couldn't find a solution yet... Using an animated symbol with a video, syncronised together in my project. When I change browser's tab, video continues to play but symbol animation stops and it continues to play only when I switch back to edge tab. So there is no more sync. between two elements... and this is realy boring. Any ideas with this?? Please help, thanks.

How do I stop Determining Gapless Playback?

Yet again, another iTunes upgrade has caused the horrible gapless playback scan to occur on my iTunes library. As a result, iTunes is totally unresponsive until this action completes. In my case, it's really slow as I'm accessing my files wirelessly from a network drive. I have to keep canceling the rescan to use iTunes. For the most part it keeps track of where it left off, however some files keep getting rescanned.
Here's what I've observed so far (not that it solves anything)
- it appears that rescans are triggered whenever an upgrade rebuilds the library. After going through this once for iTunes 7 upgrade, I remember it occurring again for 8 (and probably a point release in between) and version 9.
- The gapless playback mp3 tag doesn't seem to stop the rescan from occurring. I tested this for files that kept getting rescanned. I first set them to No and they still got scanned. Next I set them to Yes and still no luck...
- The number of files being scanned are less than the total number of files currently in my library, which leads me to believe the rescan trigger has to do with either when the file was added (i.e. before iTunes 7 release) or based on what version of iTunes the file was created.
Based on the above, I think this is a bug as it should only go through this once and if needed when new files are added to iTunes. Better yet, there should be an option to shut this off completely!
Any info on what causes this to occur or how to make it stop would be greatly appreciated!!!

Yes, with previous upgrades, I had to let it run it's course (usually overnight). However, this still doesn't really answer my question.
If the scan isn't used to auto update the gapless flag, then in my option it's completely useless and renders iTunes unusable until the process completes or is cancelled by the user.
(1) What does the scan actually do??
(2) Why does it reoccur after every major upgrade??
(3) Why does the rescan only occur on a subset of the songs in the iTunes library??
I'm convinced this is a bug and iTunes is hard coded to scan for gapless playback on files added prior to the iTunes 7 release date, which per Wiki was on 9/12/06. If I create a smart playlist of songs added before this date, then the total number of songs in the list is nearly identical to the number of songs that are scanned after a major upgrade.

Why does Soundbooth stop immediatly on playback

I have a Mac Pro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 32 GB memory. I've recently purchased and installed Adobe Master Collection CS4. After loading a mp3 track into Soundbooth CS4, I click the playback control and it stops every time after just a split second. I've tried changing the Audio Hardware settings, adjust the Buffer Size, starting up with shift key depressed to force replacing the default preferences. I've checked to see that "Continue audio playback in background" is selected and that the Default Device is correctly set. I've also renamed the Adobe>Preferences>2.0 folder and restarted to force new preference setting to no avail.
I tried the 5 stepsdescrived by _durin_ :
If you've got a few minutes, I'd like to find out the results of this test:
1. Close Soundbooth if it's open. Open Finder, and go to Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup and launch that.
2. In the menu bar, click Audio > Open Aggregate Device Editor
3. Click the "+" button to create a new Aggregate Device. Name it whatever you like and select the Built-in Output and Built-In Line Input as the two devices, then click Done.
4. launch Soundbooth, open the Preferences > Audio Hardware and change the selection to your new Aggregate Device. Click OK.
5. See if you can reproduce the behavior you experienced before.
Thanks,
Durin
except I was unable to creat a Aggregate Device. When I hit the "+" button, nothing happened. Is it supposed to pop-up a dialogue or something to create this Device?
I also tried Bruno's suggestion
Hi, I've got the same problem on my new iMac, and finally I think I was able to fix it.
1. First of all you must be connected as an administrator of the Mac.
2. Then you have to open the preferences window for the audio hardware (Adobe->Preferences->Audio Hardware)
3. Change the selection for Default Device (e.g. select System Default I/O)
4. Now it should work
Please note that after this action, it started to work even if I restore the previous default device. Moreover, now it works also if I start it without being an administrator. Hope this could help you.
Bruno.
but when I selected "System default I/O" I got this errer:
Soundbooth has encountered an error.
[/Papago/2.0-gm/MediaCore/MediaLayer/AudioSupport/Make/Mac/../../Scr/Mac/CoreAud ioHost.cpp-536]
I am greatful for any continuing advise.

I ultimately resolved this same problem by deleting
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist
Good luck,
Ralf

The animation stops

I have a problem with the created movie clips. After pressing a movie clip the animation starts but if a mouse is moved away it finishes the animation then stops. You can see it at http://krolas.pl/produkty.swf. Could somebody help me to find a solution?

That doesn't explain how you have assembled the design, but here's some recommendations to help you find the problem.
1) instead of using e.target use e.currentTarget. target can point to something inside the object, but currentTarget will point to the object with the listener assigned to it.
2) Use the trace() function in every function you have so that you can track down which ones get executed when you experience the problem. If you just trace the function name that should be enough until you notice something you don't expect.. Then dig deeper within if needed. Example... do this to all your fnctions....
function onOutBack1(e:MouseEvent){
    trace("called functon onOutBack1");
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("out");
function onOverBack1(e:MouseEvent){
    trace("called functon onOverBack1");
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("over");
etc...

Slide Animations Stopped Working

Hello,
Last night we had a program in which we were screen sharing a Windows Media Player video. The setup I had was a Content Pod with a PowerPoint file in the front, and the Screen Share Pod behind it. In a new layout I had the reverse setup, the Content Pod behind the Screen Share Pod, so prior to the start of the program we were already Screen Sharing the video, so we just clicked the new layout when it was time and the video was ready to go instantly.
Before we got to the video, we noticed the slide animations in the PowerPoint file in the Content Pod stopped working (they were working previously, tested multiple times). We had to stop the presentation and re-load the file in order to get the animations to work again.
Have you ever had this problem occur? And do you see it correlating to having the Screen Share Pod active throughout the session?
Thanks,
Matt

This is the app that came with the phone itself & can't be removed/reinstalled.

CBSpersist log automatically created and filling up drive. How do I stop sfc.exe from autorunning

I am working on a machine where the client complained that the drive kept filling up. Upon checking I realised that over 750GB was occupied with CBS logs. These logs are usually generated when SFC.exe (System File Checker) executes. However, they are being
created an average of 3 times a week and no one onsite is running SFC. The logs go back to 2012 so it appears that somehow SFC is autorunning..
I could not locate a scheduled task for it in Task Scheduler.
Is there a wasy to confirm that there is no schedule task other than again going through every single element.
Any ideas as to why it is happening and how to stop it will be greatly appreciated.
The machine is running Windows 7 Home Premium.

Hi,
Are we in a domain environment?
Did this issue occur on a special machine or with all the clients in the domain?
CBS is Component-Based Servicing, and CBS.log logged the information for CBS events. More information regarding CBS, please take a look at:
Understanding Component Based Servicing.
Could you please have a share with the recent log file before going further? There might be some issue keep logging in the log file. Upload it to skydrive if possible and post us the link here.

Importing flash as3 animation: stop commands are ignored in Captivate

I have created a Flash animation in Flash CS5 which has some interactive buttons to go to frames and then stop. The problem is Captivate seems to ignore the stop commands.
When I preview in Flash it works fine, when I preview in Captivate it just keeps on going.
I can't use a click box because I need the user to click one of my interactive buttons to then continue to the nect part of the animation.
I am not a programmer and have just started using Adobe CS5 master edition.
I can add bits of actionscript provided I know how and where :-)
all help for a a dumbo newbie appreciated.....

If your Flash animations are published as AS3, make sure your Captivate movie is also set to publish as AS3 in the Preferences.
Does that do anything?

Why my fla. animation stops at a certain point after previewing it in captivate 3

I have developed an animation using flash CS3. The animation works fine in flash (test movie, and published swf). When I inserted the fla. (insert animation) in my Captivate 3 slide, it stops at the exact same point each time while previewing the animation through the web browser. I have read on this blog that it may be a button or other objects on the slide that has a timer set. I checked the timeline. All of my objects are set at 11 seconds. There are rollovers on the same slide. I have tried to inserting a click box with the "pause project until user clicks" option, syncing the fps, redoing the flash animation and nothing works.
Can anyone help me on this?

Hi there
It may depend on how you created the animation in Flash. Is the animation supposed to loop? If so, did you animate on the main timeline? If you did, that may explain it. You need to animate in something called a "Movie Clip", then insert the Movie Clip on your main Flash timeline.
And thus I have managed to totally expend any knowledge I possess regarding Flash. Most of it is a mystery, in a fog of an enigma, cloaked in a conundrum.
Cheers... Rick

Stopping video component playback

I have a frame where I have added an flv playback component to play a flv file. Everything plays fine, but when I test the file and navagate away from the frame that the playback component is on, the video continues playing.
Is there any way to get the video to stop when the user navigates away from the frame? I'm sure this could be done if I add the video using AS 3.0 (that is what the navigation of the site is coded with), but I'm not quite experienced enough to pull that off at this point.
Thanks!! - Jon

I'm having same issues, tried using the stop(); on the first frame of the movie's instance timline. Movie continues to play while user can't actually see it anymore. When the user navigates back to that section where the movie clip is again, another instance of the movie can be played while the previous one is going making a mess
