Audio and Widget Interaction

I have audio and a widget on a slide.  When the widget appears, the audio stops.  I have searched the forums and found nothing that applies to Captivate 7 or that has a solution. 
Can you please advise?

Are you not talking about an interaction? Because typically an interaction will pause the slide at its first frame to allow the interaction.
To what is your audio attached: slide, object? I found a workaround in CP6 (blogged about it at that time) that probably will also do it in CP7. Instead of attaching audio to slide or object, use an advanced action On Enter for the slide and add the command Play Audio.

  • 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).

  • Who'd like to test a new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget?

    It's taken about 6 months of every spare minute we could find but we're finally ready to do a round of Alpha testing for our new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget for Cp4 and 5.  This post is to ask for a handful of volunteers to test the new widget over the next week creating drag and drop interactions in both Cp4 and Cp5.
    If you've already tried our well-known Drag and Drop Lite Question Widget, but were a bit frustrated by the limitations that the quiz question format placed on your creativity, we think you'll be blown away by what this new Interactive Widget can do.  It does everything the current question widget does, aside from the aspects that are unique to question types (Review Area, Retake Quiz, etc) plus a whole lot more.  Due to the extra functionality, this widget has twice as much code as our last one.
    Some of the features:
    You can have as many widgets as you want on a single slide and each can be addressing a different drag and drop scenario.
    You can reference the same drag and target objects from different widgets to create different.
    Since they are interactive widgets, you can use the widget success/failure criteria to trigger Advanced Actions.  This opens up a lot of possibilities for game interactions.
    You can score each widget differently so that OnSuccess they will each report different scores for dragging the same objects.  This means you can have Conditional Scoring and more than one correct answer for a given problem.
    You can set one of the widgets to have its Preferences be used for all widgets on the slide so that you don't need to set all widget preferences individually, thus saving a lot of time.
    You can set Preference Priority for each widget to configure which widgets will have "right of way" if there is a potential conflict in preferences.  For example, if one widget wants one type of snapping behaviour on an object but another widget wants the same object to snap differently, the widget with the higher Preference Priority will dominate.
    You can nominate other interactive objects (including clickboxes or other widgets) to act as Submit button and Clear button to create a simulated quiz question.
    Since this widget is an Interactive widget, it also has the same advanced Pausing override behaviours we built into our Event Handler widget (http://www.infosemantics.com.au/eventhandler)  So you can have users stay on the same slide playing with the drag and drop interaction for as long as they like without progressing to the next slide until they want to.
    Plus other stuff I can't think of right now.
    If you decide to volunteer to participate in this Alpha testing, please don't use this widget for any production Captivate projects you may have.  The Alpha and Beta versions of the widget will be time-bombed to stop working after a couple of weeks so that we don't have buggy versions running around later.
    As I said at the beginning, we only need a handful of testers, we need people using either Cp4 or Cp5, and you need to do this testing over the next week so that we can then address any issues you find and release a debugged Beta version for more testing.
    Anyone wanna play?
    If you do want to volunteer, send me a private message on this forum with your email address so I can send you a widget and instructions.  We'll only be taking the first dozen or so people that are willing to contribute time and feedback.
    Cheers,
    Rod Ward

  • Infosemantics Drag and Drop Interactive widget

    I’ve added the Infosemantics Drag and Drop Interactive widget to my project, but it only works after publishing via a computer and not on an iPad.  I published using both SWF and HTML5 so it “should” work. The HTML tracker for that slide does not list any unsupported slides or objects.  If this widget is not compatible with the iPad, is the new Captivate drag and drop feature available for Subscription and ASA customers work on an iPad?  If so, is there a student rate for either a Subscription or ASA? Thanks so much.

    The drag&drop wizard in 6.1 is easy to use, but doesn't have all the functionality that you find in the InfoSemantics Interactive widget. Just want to warn you. I am using both: for simple Drag&Drop I'll use the wizard, but as an example to create a custom matching or sequence question slide I need InfoSemantics widget, that is not possible with the 6.1 D&D.

  • Widget (interaction) size and font issues when published in HTML 5

    I'm using Captivate 7 and when I create and preview widget interactions (accordian, tab, etc.) the sizing and font look correct. However, when I publish it to HTML 5, it is not the right size, is left justified rather than centered, and does not have the custom font (defaults to Arial).
    Is there anything I can do to fix this? Please help!

    Adobe writes inline css for the font on that widget, in the CPM.js file. You's have to create a new class and and write your own rules using @font-face to ensure end-users can use the font. SWF files can embed fonts, but html does not.
    If the user doesn't have to font you use it will default.
    This is an example of how the Header title and instruction of the widget is written:
    <headerTitle><font face="Arial" style="Arial" size="23" align="LEFT"/>
              <textDecoration bold="true" underline="false" italic="false"/>
              <color textColor="0xffffff" highlightRequired="false" highlightColor="0xffff99" highlightState="false"/>
            </headerTitle>
    <headerInst><font face="Georgia" style="Georgia" size="14" align="LEFT"/>
              <textDecoration bold="false" underline="false" italic="true"/>
              <color textColor="0xb9dff6" highlightRequired="false" highlightColor="0xffff99" highlightState="false"/>
    </headerInst>

  • Syncing Audio and Video but wish for the Audio not to move on timeline?

    Has anyone worked out how to sync audio and video within Premiere Pro but have the Audio stay fixed on the timeline and the video move? Every way I try it Premiere Pro insists on moving the audio. Locking the track does not work as you cannot select the audio within it to Sync with.
    I have a music video shoot with 14 camera angles used on the lead singer (don't ask me why). Multi-camera editing is not an option as there are too many sources for my brand new MacbookPro to handle. I think I would need the computer from Superman II to edit that many clips together.
    What I am doing is syncing the first clip, the one Im going to use as the baseline fall back shot and then I need to sync other clips onto the timeline. However Premiere Pro insists on moving the audio to fit with the video not visa-versa.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    @slitchfield: on the mentioned page, it is stated that "Improvements in screen real estate, with slimmer top status bar and optional (in some apps) bottom toolbar, meaning that all phones will have a larger useful display area."
    But on the E6 the bottom toolbar decreases available screen size in most apps, most noticeable in Web browser where the full view has gone. The bottom toolbar is not optional, you can't configure it yourself.
    And: "Homescreen widgets will now come in up to five different sizes (1x1, 2x1, 4x1, 2x2, 4x4) and allow a greater degree of interactivity.", but on the E6 they are in only one size, always with large borders and other visual effects.
    So beware of differences between phones, perhaps some aspects of Belle work differently depending on the type of device.
    "Notes now brings up a white (and AMOLED-unfriendly...) editing screen.": that you can change by switching themes, "Dark Solid for Anna" does a good job. It is a shame that the lines of Notes have gone though.
    When switching themes, I found you have to restart the phone, otherwise the theme doesn't get properly loaded in all apps. Stopping/starting apps is not enough. So when experimenting and loading one theme after another, you may end up with disfunctional combinations of black-on-black and white-on-white, but it may not be due to the last theme. Also you may end up with a good combination that isn't around anymore the next time you restart your phone.

  • IChat Audio and Video not working correctly...

    Hi.
    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Before upgrading, I was able to video chat with little to no problem with family over iChat. I just tried it again today for the first time since upgrading to Snow Leopard and the audio is barely working (can only make out every few words, if that), and the video is extremely distorted to where you can sometimes not even tell there are people there. It gets all pixelated and weird. I tried doing the chat with Google Talk and then again with Skype, and had just as many problems with those. My family is using a Mac with an older OS, and they can see and hear me perfectly fine. I'm not sure if the problem is with my computer or with theirs, or if it's just a communication problem, but any ideas would be really helpful. Thanks!

    After iChat developed missing audio and video pixellation problem post Snow Leopard installation at my mother-in-law's machine (and ours), I tried the usual decrease the bandwidth fix to no avail.
    The solution that actually fixed the probem was to turn off port forwarding protocol on her Time Capsule and our Airport Extreme. Things are now working smoothly even at 500 kbps settings on both ends.
    An interesting aside... Turning off port forwarding for ssh to her machine doesn't kill the ssh port tunnel from the outside LAN to her mac. It looks like iChat and the Time Capsule keep an incoming ssh tunnel open even if you have disabled port forwarding on the Time Capsule. I suspect this "secret" opening of ports is the magic of why iChat and screen sharing have been so much easier to set up when a Mac is behind an Apple router. 3rd party routers need ports manually forwarded to the Mac. Apple routers just worked ---- and it looks like Apple does it by invisibly opening ports on their routers when a Mac runs iChat.
    Pretty nifty, but also silently opens a security hole that you may THINK you closed. SL seems to trip up over this arrangement when you also turn on Port Mapping Protocol and manually assign ports to forward.
    At any rate, it wasn't the data rate, it was a new bad interaction between the Apple Router's Port Mapping Protocol and iChat 5. Turn off PMP on the airport and all becomes well once more.

  • Drag and Drop Interaction with 50+ Drop Targets

    Hello,
    I'm fairly new to Captivate 7 but very familiar with Flash. I'm tasked with a project that I would like to do with the drag and drop interaction widget from Captivate 7. Basically, we need our learners to identify the locations of our resorts on a map. Select the name of the resort, drag and drop it in the city/state or country where located. My question is can Captivate handle this task? To me, it seems as a large task for Captivate to handle, and so I was thinking of coding it in Flash.
    Here is what I need:
    1.- List of all the properties at bottom with the drop target being a map of the US or world and have the location for each property as the drop target.
    2.- When the resort/property is selected, the name will change to the three letter code. Example: New York City, when clicked = NYC and the map itself to reflect the 3 letter code once dropped on the map if correct.
    3. If incorrect, the listed item will revert to the long name and return to the list.
    4. If this can be graded, it would be best.
    I can break the project into different regions but if I wanted to keep all 300+ properties in one module, will it be an issue? At the very least, I would need to do a minimum of about 50 per module.
    Thanks all! I've found this forum to be extremely helpful and the members seem to be eager to help.

    var matchingTargetName:String =(event.target.name).substring(0, 1);
    Change the name of the target to A and B and the mc A1, A2, A3, A4... and B1, B2,B3...

  • Can drag and drop interactions created in Captivate 6.1 be exported to HTML5?

    I need to convert some Flash drag and drop interactions to HTML5 and I'm looking at Captivate and Storyline.
    Can drag and drop interactions created in Captivate 6.1 be exported to HTML5?
    (I tried Captivate 6 with the drag and drop widget and that didn't work, and I can't find a trial version of 6.1).
    Many thanks,
    Sonya

    Many thanks Lilybiri
    I've just chatted to Adobe support and they have told me there is no educational discount for subscription I coudn't find the info on the website, so if anyone is interested, subscription is $29.99/month or $19.99/month if you sign up for a year.

  • CP6 AS3 Widget Interactions cannot insert

    Hi,
    Using CP6.0 on an XP machine. I tried to insert a widget from the gallery and got the "Not a valid Widget" error. I cann't insert interactions either. And could not get the aggregator to work either. Anyone have a clue for me?
    Thanks much,
      Lori

    Yes, running as admin.  found solution.  Deleting the preferences and layouts files soled the problem for widgets, interactions and aggregator.  A good solution to know for future issues!
    Thanks Everyone.

  • Audio Player Widget - Muse

    I have searched everywhere for a way to have a simple audio player on a web page in Muse and the code below when pasted into "Insert HTML" gives us the most basic HTML5 audio player.
    <audio controls>
      <source src="horse.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
      <source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
      Your browser does not support the audio tag.
    </audio>
    This gets a basic audio player on the page and is fine if one doesn't mind the default look of the player. (Above Player shown in Safari)
    Basically any audio player that looks different from this one above is going to have to be coded in some way and that's where the difficulty starts.
    The only place that I have found on the Internet that has really small, minimal and clean audio players is at this site:
    http://www.podsnack.com
    which is set up for heavy duty traffic use of the player as their plans support 25,000 plays per day, which is way more than I need, however they do have 2 or 3 really nice looking tiny audio players that are completely editable color-wise that have a base look like these:
    There are more examples here:
    http://www.podsnack.com/mp3-player-examples/
    I love the clean look of the 2 players above, and all the colors are changeable:
    The main drawback with the podsnack site is that even the most basic plan costs $8 per month with a minimum 1 Year up-front payment of $96.00.
    But, they are hosting the audio files on their servers and providing the skin of the player.
    So far this is the only solution I have found to get a really small, clean visually customizable audio player onto a Muse website.
    If Adobe could come up with a way to create some Audio Player Widgets that include some very small clean ones, I would find that to be a great asset to Muse.
    I think that it would probably be easier for Adobe to design a widget that can play the audio file from the user's hosting server rather than Adobe's servers otherwise Adobe is going to be storing a huge number of audio files belonging to Muse customers.
    The audio file can be placed on the user's hosting server in the same way that files such as pdf's are placed there when the user want to provide a link to download the pdf.
    I am requesting that Adobe create some clean, customizable Audio Player Widgets.
    Now that there are Widgets to place YouTube and Vimeo videos plus Social Media icons on pages, Audio Player Widgets are the next logical step.
    Cheers,
    Chris.

    Well, I kept on looking for reliable ways to place simple HTML5 audio players onto pages and I really didn't come up with any useful solutuions.
    Lots of open source JavaScript players etc, which I highly respect and trully wish I had a load of skill with, but I just found them to be out of reach at this time.
    So, I broke down and coughed up the $96/year fee ($8/month) for the podsnack.com player set up and have found them to be absolutely effiortless to use and completely editable with regards to the look.
    I have an example of some tiny players on a page here:  http://amsondesigns.com/misc-files/podsnack-demo
    And the Podsnack example page is here:  http://www.podsnack.com/mp3-player-examples
    BTW, I don't work for Podsnack!
    If Adobe comes up with some Widgets that effectively provide what Podsnack are doing, then for me that will be the answer.
    Until then I'm going to use Podsnack.
    Cheers,
    Chris.

  • How do I use my web cam to record audio and video? I can get the video to work but no sound.

    I want to record both audio and video at the same time. The video works fine but not the audio. I do use Skype without any problems using both.

    PwmBoat,
    This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile...  I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
    You did not say what webcam software you are using...
    ======================================================================
     Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
    Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
    YouCam > Right-Side   Settings >
    Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
    AND
    CHECK "Capture with audio"
    OK
    You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too.  (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)
    ==========================================================================

  • "Error while trying to sync Audio and Midi"

    "Error while trying to sync Audio and Midi" I have been having this problem now and then for some time. Now, I can't run any audio files without a lot of popping. I tried all the suggestions on the support document for this issue. I even downloaded new drivers from Motu for my Express XT Midi interface and my 828MK11 Audio interface. There has been no change. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!
    Also, I have tried reseting the 828 to factory default and that does not help.
    Jonathan Jenkins

    Hi,
    I solved my own problem by resetting the factory presets:
    Follow these steps to restore the MOTU 828mkII to Factory Default Settings.
    Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
    Press the Setup knob
    Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
    Press the Select knob
    Press the Value knob
    Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable back in
    Power the interface back on
    The same steps can be followed to restore the Factory Default Settings on a Traveler.
