Audio crazies with embedded captivate 4 product in captivate 4 project in LMS

I know I've seen some solutions and setting variables to eliminate this issue (one I've never had before thank goodness) I have LO's created in captivate that contain published .swf files also created in captivate 4. I have 6 embedded in one project, 4 in another. Uploaded to the learning management system all of the audio in the final project (34 slides, 14 minutes) starts as soon as the .html file is called in the LMS. Help...I just can't seem to search the right combination of words to locate solutions that I am absolutely sure I've seen before. I'd appreciate a bit of direction if someone can point me to the thread or the solution.. I'm getting rather anxious about hearing all these voices!!!!...Thanks much
Susanne

A little additional information:
It isn't just the audio from the embedded Flash that runs
early - it's the actual Flash file. I don't know if this makes any
difference in figuring out what's going on, but thought I'd add
that bit of detail.
Also - I had found out that my Captivate project that I
created the Flash from had gotten corrupted and was hoping that
fixing that would fix this problem as well ... but no such luck...

Audio problems with embedded Flash

I have the Flash of a Captivate simulation embedded on one of
the slides in my Presenter file. When I publish it, the audio for
the Flash starts playing in the middle of the previous slide -
playing over the audio for that slide. When I click Pause, the
audio for the Presenter slide stops, but the Flash audio keeps
going even though I haven't gotten to the slide with the embedded
file yet. It always starts 4-5 seconds into the previous slide.
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening?
I've used embedded Flash files in Presenter several times
with no problems, and the settings in Presenter are all the same as
in the presentations that work correctly.
- In Presentation Settings, I have "controlled by
presentation playbar" deselected because there are click boxes in
the Captivate sim that users will click to advance.
- In Slide Properties, I have "advance by user" select for
both the embedded slide and the previous slide.
- I thought that there was some glitch in the Audio Editor,
so I added 5 seconds of silence at the end of the previous slide,
and added enough silence to the embedded slide to more than cover
the length of the embedded piece.
This is the first time I've tried to embed a Flash file since
I upgraded to Captivate 2. Could something have changed on the
Captivate side of things? It still doesn't make sense why the audio
would start playing before the Flash starts, but I'm grasping at
straws here.
Thanks!

Is it possible to add Audio on Demand to an image in Captivate 7 QUIZ for html 5 output in web browsers?

We are trying to do a simple HEAR IT - SELECT IT type 'quiz' in Captivate 7 for an indigenous language project. Our target output is html 5 to web browser.
We have used the multiple choice question mode and have inserted IMAGES in place of text (although we left the question numbers visible)
The user should be able to click on a speaker icon to hear the audio file (as many times as they choose) and then select the correct image answer.
ALSO - Is it possible to add sound effects for a correct or incorrect quiz answer?
Thanks

Attaching audio could be done to the Success/Failure captions, rather easily.You can put a shape button on a question slide, other interactive objects are not possible (Buttons on Question/Score Slides in Captivate 6? - Captivate blog). And have that shape button pause before the pause of the question slide. Use an advanced action with the Statement 'Play audio'. Don't use a simple action, because it will release the play head: Why choose Standard over Simple action? - Captivate blog
User will then be able to click that shape button as many times as he wants, because the play head will remain at the pausing point. When he Submits the question, the two step process will use the pausing point of the Question slide: Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog

Issues with using relative links in Captivate 8

Is anyone else having issues with using relative links in Captivate 8? These links all used to work in the previous version of Captivate. And I could have sworn this was fixed already once in Captivate 8 but it's popping up again for us. Here is the situation... We have courses that are made up of multiple lessons which as separate Captivate files. Within those lessons are buttons to link to external documents (which live in a shared document folder), demonstrations, etc. We use relative links because we post these to our amazon servers and we also sell them to clients where they can post them on their own web servers or in their LMS. SO we can't put in full paths for the links or we'd have to change them constantly. So an example is that the link for a button might be "../Document/nameofdoc.pdf" This would be going to a user guide or something that is posted in the "Document" folder that lives at the same level as the lesson's folder. But now, all of the sudden, none of our bazillion links is working. And I've tried buttons, hyperlinks, and even the old click box. Nothing works with relative links. And I did check the permissions on every file and folder on our Amazon server to verify nothing changed there as well. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue with relative links using Captivate 8. I am trying to load Captivate modules into an LMS using relative links to document files within the LMS. The links work fine during a site page test so not an issue in the LMS, but from the Captivate module they aren't working....

How to get a quiz developed with a timer in Adobe captivate 8

I want to develop a quiz with 10 questions. So those who answer max correct answers with less time should be announced as winner
Current version 8 doesn’t show the option to publish file into exe.
Also I have few issues with the current package I prepared.
Not sure how to get the timer
enabled in the package.
Need to add logo on all slides
3. How to add hyperlink
for Adobe Registration.
Some experts please help me

Well, first, I believe if you update CP8 to the latest version:
Adobe Captivate Help | Adobe Captivate 8 patch
Then the .exe option is restored to Captivate.
But that probably won't help your other request.
For Captivate itself to know if someone's score is best, it has to know what all the other users' scores are.
How will it find that out? (especially as an .exe which is going to likely have even a harder time getting info from the web)
The best way to do what you want is to use an LMS with that 'leaderboard' feature (i.e ExpertusOne)...so it can evaluate everyone's recorded scores and show the best.
And even that would probably need a hack as I *assume* it basis 'best' on the score, not on the time.
So even if you could do a timer in Captivate, it has no way of knowing other users' scores nor a way to evaluate which is 'best' even if it did.
(you might be able to work that all in with extensive JS hacking?)
Fortunately, the logo is pretty easy - put the logo image on the master slide(s) you use in the piece.
What sort of Adobe Registration do you mean?

Embedded Vimeo videos in Captivate 8: Stop working after Border or Scrolling settings are changed

I am embedding Vimeo videos into Captivate 8 slides, using Insert > Web object > Embed. It usually works fine, but then if I change the Border or Scrolling settings, the published slide shows a 404 for (not found) error. I have confirmed that the Embed code does not change. The only workaround I have found is to recreate the Embed objects. Is there a way to stop this problem from happening?

Here's the embed code:
<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/111254439?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> <p>Why Should Social Workers Know About DV? from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user21657102">ACWE</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
It's set for Public on Vimeo.

PPT with embedded MP4 videos not being improted as a playable video - how can I make the MP$ play as a video?

I have a PPT slide presentation that has embedded MP4 videos (captured using SnagIt) in the presentation. When I import and convert, all my PPT slides convert with animations intact, but the videos are not playable and appear only as a 'static' slide.... I'm messing around with the trial version of Captivate hoping it can do what I think it can (like what I just described here) and am trying to cost-justify the purchase of this package to my management team -but I have to make sure it can do what we want it to do first - so far, no good - but I think I'm probably just missing something...any tips or suggestions?

Hi there
One way to accomplish your goal would be to use what I call: The Camtasia Approach
Basically you play the presentation and use Captivate to record it. Camtasia operates that way with PPT.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate 7 to Captivate 8 Upgrade of Subscription

How can I be sure that my subscription has "converted" to Captivate 8 and that my products will not expire?
I have a subscription to Adobe Captivate and just upgraded from 7 to 8. I installed 8 as a trial first while I was running Captivate 7. I had a problem with the Captivate 6 upgrade from 5.5 and had to uninstall the trial, reinstall and republish lots of files even though they were published with a licensed version of Captivate 6.
I will have approximately 15 modules created in my licensed Captivate 7 and another 50 in Captivate 8 and I cannot risk having them expire on the client's LMS. I cannot see my serial number with the subscription in order to confirm that it is truly running a licensed version and not the trial.
Thanks!

Hi Ayman,
The CAD client will be updated automatically when the agents login after the upgrade. They will need to have admin rights on their PC for this upgrade to complete.
The second node can be added after the upgrade on the first node has been completed.
I recommend changing the IP address only after the upgrade has been completed and the cluster is stable. The exact steps are found in the 8.0 Admin Guide. There is a "Readiness Check" here to make sure the change won't cause any problems. It's important to note that the hostname cannot be changed.

How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ? iChat FAQ 3 (Updated 3/4/2009)
Applies to iChat 2.x, iChat 3.x and iChat 4.x to any version of AIM on a PC before AIM 6.1
See bottom section on AIM 6.5 and 6.8 on XP and Vista.
This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
Glossary For This FAQ
This bit is designed for clarity.
Video is the sending and /or receiving of pictures and sound.
Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
One-Way is the ability to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a recipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
What is needed
At the Mac end
A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
(hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
At the PC end
1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this.
Between both of you.
At least one camera (Mac end works better)
A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
Other tweaks
For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
To Start
You should now be able to chat to each other.
If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to video chat One Way but sound will be both ways.
To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
To start this from a PC follow the directions in the paragraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
Summary
PC end gets AIM 5.9 or Trillian Pro.
The PC end allows the app through the XP Firewall.
AIM 5.9 needs "Tuning" to Camera and Mic.
For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) One-Way.
NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.
Another explanation of the set up can be found Here about AIM 5.5 but is transferable to AIM 5.9.
And Also here
My Web Pages particularly all of Page 12: What if your Girlfriend Lives a Long Way Away ? have more information.

AIM 6.5 and 6.8 On Vista and XP
AIM 5.9 or earlier can not be installed on Vista.
AIM 6.5 and 6.8 use a new video codec with a description of "Real Time IM"
AIM have an FAQ page about this
Below the pics is this quote
What do I need to use Real-Time IM?
You and your buddy need to be using AIM® 6.8 or higher to use Real-Time IM. Unfortunately, Real-Time IM does not yet work with older AIM clients, iChat®, or AIM® for Mac®.
See items 5 through 13 on this page for alternatives including Web Browser based ones.

Audio garbled with 9.0.115.0 for Win XP Pro

Using Win XP Pro and IE7, Audio is garbled in some Camtasia
Studio productions with 9.0.115.0 that still play just fine with
9.0.47.0 installed on a laptop.
Steps taken:
1. Have updated Driver, Realtek AC97 Audio, (ALCXWDM.SYS,
version 5.10.0000.6270, date, 10/26/2007).
2. Installed K-Lite Codec Pack 357 Full.
3. Ran CCleaner and cleared cache for Adobe Flash Player.
4. Affirmed configuration is set for Desktop Stereo.
5. Secured all Audio Cables.
6. Tried to re-install 9.047.0 by uninstalling 9.0.115.0 and
running the archived flashplayer9r47_winax.exe, but the installer
would not run after giving me a popup advising of a newer version
available for download that was recommended as more secure by
Adobe.
SUMMARY: Some audio remains ungarbled (MP3s and UTUBE), but I
have had trouble with some Camtasia productions.
1. Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and
possible remedies?
2. Is there a way to get flashplayer9r47_winax.exe to
actually run and go back to the previous version 9.0.47.0?
Thanks for your help.

I have finally clarified the sound problem I reported in this
forum.

Flash files with audio sound garbled or high pitched
Question
Flash files played in the the newest version of the Flash
Player sound garbled or have a high-pitched "chipmunk" sound to
them.
Answer

Flash files with audio sound garbled or high pitched
Question
Flash files played in the the newest version of the Flash
Player sound garbled or have a high-pitched "chipmunk" sound to
them.
Answer
The latest release of the Flash Player (v9.0.115.0 released
on 12/03/07)) causes audio to sound garbled and/or high pitched
like a chipmunk. Our development team is looking into this issue
and working to find a fix.
To avoid this problem, you can roll back your Flash Player to
a previous release. If you have problems installing an older
release of the Flash Player please review this article and contact
Adobe for further support.
At this time, the problem is limited only to SWF files
produced with the MP3 audio codec. As a workaround, you can produce
your SWF files with the PCM audio codec or use the FLV format
instead of SWF.

Safe versions security restrictions when installing Flash
Player
Issue
If you previously installed a later version of Flash Player
for Internet Explorer, you may be prevented from installing an
earlier version. For example, if you installed Flash Player
9.0.47.0 and attempted to install version 9.0.45.0 the installation
would fail.
Reason
This issue is due to registry key settings applied by the
Flash Player security model. The restriction is to prevent users
from downgrading Flash Player minor versions. The minor version of
Flash Player is the third set of numbers in the version name. For
example, the minor version for Flash Player 9.0.47.0 would be 47.
If Flash Player 9.0.47.0 was installed and you attempted to install
9.0.45.0 (minor version 45), the installation would fail.
Solution
To resolve this, download the uninstaller for Flash Player
from "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
control" (TechNote tn_14157).
Select Start.
Select Run.
Type cmd
In the command window, type the following:
uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
This will remove all entries in the system registry and
resolve this issue.
Note: The uninstall_flash_player.exe file must be saved to
the same directory that the command window is in, for example C:\.

Work flow for syncing separate Audio files with Video files in FCP

It may be too late for me to use this workflow that I want with my current project, but I need to figure out what it is anyway for future reference.
Right now I'm editing a movie which is near completion. When we recorded the movie, the camera's deck recorded reference audio from the sound guy at 48k @ 16bit. This audio also went through an additional set of preamps which added a small amount of noise. So we don't want to use the reference audio because of it's low resolution and less clean audio. The sound guy recorded straight to his deck at 48k @ 24bit, besides the better resolution, his audio is noticeably better.
The camera deck and 'clapper' (I think that's what you call it) were not connected or synced. So the video files and the soundsguy's audio files are slightly different lengths, but at least have a 'clap sound' to manually sync to. And I don't mean that the audio and video files won't play in sync with each other, I mean that the soundguy always started recording before the camera, so his audio files have slightly different start and stop times.
Could I have synced the audio files with the video files before I started editing this project? If so, could it have been in the way that the soundguy's audio would be connected to my video files while editing? What would that procedure have been?
My current workflow right now is I have my finished sequence, I change the bit rate to 24 in Sequence Settings, and start manually dragging the soundguy's files to the sequence for every little edited clip. This is going to take forever, there are 99 scenes in this movie. Anyway, at the end of the day these sequences are exported as .omf files and imported into Pro Tools for audio post production.
I was not thinking to figure this out before I started editing the movie, this is unfortunate, a newb move in a decent production.
Anyway, I don't know if there is a standard for this situation or if I just opened up a can of worms for many possible workflows. Please comment if you have experience in this area or please refer me to any reading material.
Thanks for your time!
-Monty

The normal workflow (besides manually syncing up before editing!)
is to have ' some ' way of auto syncing the clips.
So you must have common timecode.
With external audio, you can slave the cam's TC to the TC output of the BWF recorder.
Then you can use BWF / QT merge (one of my apps) to sync them, or use Sync 'n Link.
(another third party application)
If it is not possible cause you're shooting with a cam without a TC input, you can record the TC output on one of the audio tracks of your cam, and use FCPauxTC reader to decode the beeps and translate that to QT TC, and again use the former tricks to sync them.
It is difficult when you have never done it, but very easy once you get the hang of it, and it saves a huge amount of time to do it right from the start.
Have a look at the FCP aux TC reader here:

CR report with embedded SWF: Export to PDF displays nothing

I'm creating CR 2008 reports with embedded SWFs as described in the whitepaper [EMBEDDING XCELSIUS 2008 VISUALIZATIONS IN CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/pdf/product/catalog/crystalreports/cr_xc_integration.pdf].
From CR, I can export the report to html and view the report fine. But when I export to pdf, ppt, etc. The SWFs are not viewable. Is this a bug or by design?
This section of the white paper seems to imply that maybe you cannot export to pdf:

> ... it states in your first post, the export is not supported,
True. It says:
> Exporting and printing of Flash objects with connections to Crystal Reports data is not supported.
But I can export such reports to html and view and print the flash objects.
It seems inconsistent to me. I can export static flash charts to pdf, yet I cannot export dynamic flash charts to pdf, which is from Adobe, as is Flash?
I'm hoping this is a temporary bug either in Crystal or pdf reader and is to be fixed in a patch release. Or an explanation of why the limitations exist.
Thanks for the response.

Captivate 6 v Captivate 8

My team currently operates in Captivate 6. I need to make updates to a presentation and want to know if I can update it using a Captivate 8 trial? Also, will Captivate 6 become discontinued in the future? We are trying to decide if upgrading to Captivate 8 would be more beneficial.

Captivate 6 was officially discontinued (from Adobe's point of view) when Captivate 7 came out. And Captivate 7 became the same when Captivate 8 came out. For subscription clients that needed to reinstall Cp6 or Cp7 I've seen Adobe reps step in here and provide links to the earlier version install files. But as far as what you can find on the Adobe website, they're always focused on the current version and links to earlier versions pretty much disappear within days of the new versions emerging.
You can edit a Captivate 6 file with a trial version of Captivate 8 but you will run into more problems than you might think as a result. One issue is that this will upgrade the file to Cp8 format (unless you decline to save changes to the CPTX) and your buddies on Cp6 will not be able to edit the CPTX afterward. But the biggest problem of all is likely to be that editing a CPTX with any trial version of Captivate will mean that the published content will expire and stop working 30 days after you publish it. (Adobe REALLY wants you to buy that license. Get it?)
So I would suggest that YES, you should seriously consider upgrading to CP8 right now.
