Can A YouTube Video Link/Code Be Added In A Captivate Project?

Hello,
Can I add a video embed code or link to a Captivate project (rather than the actual video file itself) when making an swf project? How do I do it?
Thanks,
Paul.

Hi Paul
I think we need a wee bit more information here.
If you are using Captivate 4, I believe there is a widget that may be used to embed a YouTube video in a Captivate project. That appears to be the first thing you asked.
But the way you phrased the question, you could have also been asking about a way to create a link to a Captivate Project file (the CP file).
Can you describe exactly what it is you want to see in the end result? Just be basic. I want to click a button, see a slide that does this. And describe what this is.
Cheers... Rick

    Help.  I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us).  Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store.  We can play YouTube videos so the problem is not related to the connection.  It happens only when we are trying to access Movies.  Very confused.  Our AppleTV was working fine until I did the new software update.  Now this problem!  Help!

  • How do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

    how do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

    Software is always safest directly from the developer or the App Store.
    There are numerous untrustworthy 'update' sites like Cnet & Softonic, & many users won't know that one is to be trusted (so far) but not most of the others.
    Adobe make Flash Player : get it from Adobe.

  • Open youtube video link from gmail in new tab instead of same page?

    Hi came back t fox after 3 years. Yesterday after 1,2 months of using a standard action was changed. I was in my gmail clicking on youtube notification to open video in next tab.
    While it was late FF asked me would I like to stay on page or leave it - I chose stay. Now when I want to open video links from gmail it opens in current tab - I failed with research on my own, hence asking community.
    btw browser.link.open_newwindow is set to 1.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi.
    For a laptop user it is essential to use only pad - for me late at night I would like to open youtube link in new window, one hand wihtout ctrl key, then double click to close tab not finding that tiny x.
    This reminds me that problem comes from TAB UTILITIES addon -although I think mentioned notification is built in from gmail or fox.
    Currently my about:config settings
    browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external
    browser.newtabpage.storageVersion
    are set to 1
    And it works as I wanted - so far.

  • Can watch youtube videos w/o a problem, but all I get is a white screen everywhere else

    Videos from youtube are the only videos that I can view from my computer.  When I try to view videos from anywhere else (Facebook or anyother website) all I can see is a white screen.  I can usually still hear the audio and sometimes the picture will flash in and out when I move the mouse back and forth across the video.  Anyone have any ideas what my problem might be? I have Internet Explorer 9, windows 7 64 bit system. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have the same thing going on with my computer.  When I click the vide to play it the screen whites out and I can see shadows of whats on the screen and can hear audio but the screen whites out.  I can watch the video on Youtube's site just no where else.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe flash player, I've run CCleaner, antivirus, checked drivers, gone back to a restore point...
    So far nothing's worked.

  • How can I create a link to download a file in Captivate?

    So, in my Captivate file, I want people to be able to download an XML file to their machine.  If I create a hyperlink to "open a file", then when a user clicks on it, captivate attempts to open the xml file in a browser window instead of downloading it.  I can't figure out how to use the download attribute for an href in captivate and I'm not sure if javascript to do this would execute properfly.  Anybody know the best way to accomplish a force download of a file from a captivate presentation (Captivate 6)?
    TIA.

    If you want to really do this so that it is consistent for all browsers, you'll need to implement this at the server level.  I did this with the Dynamic PDF Export Widget.  Typically, a PDF will be displayed in the browser, but I added the ability to download it instead.  It does require a PHP file (or some other server side script).  In the PHP file, you'll want to set the response header for Content-Disposition to "attachment"... that's the key.
    The elbow grease part has to do with managing how the browser handles the link.  You'll want the Captivate hyperlink to open a new window so that the student does not navigate away from your course in the current window.  But since you are opening a PHP file, you can inject javascript into the document of the new window/tab to close itself.  The download will still continue eventhough the window/tab was programmatically closed.  However, most modern browsers will automatically close the window/tab for you when downloading a file.  If you want to see an example of a PHP file that implements this, go ahead and download the trial version of the Dynamic PDF Export widget.  You'll see the create.php file in the zip package.

    If you want to go simple as TLC Media Design suggested, just zip it and let your students unzip the xml file, or just rename the xml file with a .zip extension and tell them to rename the file back to .xml after downloading.

  • Can I place my preferred folders from my machine into Captivate project library?

    Hello everyone.
    I have created a SWF(it may be of 2.0 or 3.0 versions) file which loads images and audio files dynamically from a source folder using XML and JavaScript.
    I want that SWF file to play in my captivate project.
    Is that possible ?
    Or can we place the source folder in captivate project library and interact the SWF file to the source folder ?
    Please give me the possible solutions for my requirement....
    Thank you.

    Hi Larry,
    thank you for your reply.
    They were originally in "Computer - Users - (my user name) - Pictures - iPhoto library *show package contents* - Import
    (auto import folder is still in the iPhoto library if that makes a difference)
    when i originally removed the import folder to my desktop. i closed iPhoto, reopened it, and everything worked fine. Now that i've put it in my trash and reopen iPhoto, everything is still fine and intact. I was just afraid things might change once i hit 'empty trash'. Also, once i hit yes to emptying the trash, i get the message that "there are some locked items in the Trash. Do you want to remove all the items, including the locked ones, or just the unlocked items?"
    my gut feeling is that the import folder is just filled with junk that originated from my windows that my iPhoto won't recognize. but i'd rather be safe than sorry.
    thanks in advance for your response and help.

  • Can a YouTube video clip be opened in the Firefox browser, so it is the only thing visible?

    Watching a concert in YouTube is nice, but small, so it would be nice to only open the video clip in the browser without the comments and other video clips in offer, so it is easier to see more en detail, even though it is not gone into full screen.

    Tap the ESC key to return your Firefox window to normal mode with the tabs (when in video full screen mode).
    Alternately, you can download and save the video to your hard drive, then open a separate video player and play the video which will not interfere with your current browsing, if you are just listening to a concert. You can switch back and forth between Firefox and the video player by clicking the appropriate icon in your Windows task bar.

  • Can not view video links on certain websites now, can on IE. Everything updated!

    I can no longer access videos on Foodnetwork.com with Firefox as my default browser, although other website videos work fine. I have updated all plug-ins and Firefox to latest versions. Still doesn't work. When I switch to Internet Explorer, all videos play fine.

    your Firefox version is not up-to-date. Latest version for Windows XP is 5.0.1
    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click '''Check for Updates''' -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox

    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

  • I get an error message when I try to open a YouTube video link from a news website

    Huffington Post has links to You Tube videos. I always get the error message "An error occurred, please try again later" if I attempt to open the link. I haven't tried from any other site.

    I've had this problem for ages, and I finally solved it with the help of:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox#Copy_data_to_the_new_profile.
    This solution will reset your settings to which sites you allow or deny to set cookies, display images, open popup windows and initiate extensions installation.
    1. Close Firefox
    2. Start >> Run >> '''firefox.exe -p'''
    3. Create Profile >> Next >> Finish >> Start Firefox
    4. Close Firefox
    5. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\''[Your User]''\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    6. Copy the file '''permissions.sqlite''' from the new profile folder to the original profile folder
    7. Start Firefox

  • When i export my muse website my youtube video links stop working. Why is this?

    I'd like to fix this

    You can use Muse's publish feature to publish your site to a temporary Adobe BusinessCatalyst site, then you can assign the URL to that site.
    You can also purchase hosting from a 3rd party web hosting provider, and use FTP upload to upload your muse site to that location.
    Here are some videos & tutorials explaining the process:

  • Malware from YouTube video link?

    I was on my Macbook, and opened the file out of curiosity (figuring if it was malware, with a name like "MSGLG" it would likely be written for Windows instead of MacOS) - what I got was a YouTube page featuring some lame cartoon. 
    Does this malware install automatically? And is it known to affect Macs? 

    Security Rule #1.
    Never open a file if you don't know who sent it.

    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

  • Can I put video clips back on my iPhone so iMovie project will work???

    I spent ages making a video on the iMovie app on my phone. I then did an import of my photos into iPhoto and said delete photos not realising it would delete all my video clips too so now when i open my project on my phone there is nothing there and it took ages to make. Have I lost it forever? Can I somehow move the video clips it needs back on to my phone so it'll work again??
    I'm really annoyed Apple doesn't separate photos and videos out when asking if you want to keep the photos you just imported. The answer was no, I didn't want to keep the photos, but I did want to keep the video clips.
    Help, have I now got to start my project all over again on my iMac, because the clips are no longer on my phone??
    before anyone says that its better on the iMac than the app, I know, however when you have a newborn baby and are constantly feeding them, it is much easier to do things on the phone! I created a lovely montage of the first 6 months of his life and it seems I wasted a lot of time and will have to start all over again unless someone has a magic solution?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can upload some types of Excel spreadsheets to the cloud using the iWork feature on the iCloud.com website, by dragging and dropping from your computer desktop.
    Once in the cloud, the document will be converted to a numbers document when opened on an iOS device, where you can make changes and save the document back to the cloud. When you come to require the document on your computer again, you will be able to download it from the iCloud.com website in one of three formats (numbers, Excel, PDF).
