Captivate 2 - Embedding Player Controls

Hi Everyone,
In Captivate 1 I could embed the player controls into the SWF
file. Now it appears that the controls are output to a seperate
skins.swf file. I need my video and controls embedded into a single
SWF file because my LMS system can only accept a single file. Can
anyone tell me how to embed the player controls in Captivate 2?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve
I believe you would do this as follows.
1. Click Project > Skin...
2. In the Skin: drop down, scroll to the bottom of the list
and choose "BMP Playbars".
This should result in a single file that contains the former
version of controls. However, you will also find that Captivate 2
will still output two .SWF files along with the HTML file. If you
upload both the HTML file and the .SWF file to your LMS, you will
need to amend the HTML file so it correctly references only the
base .SWF file. It seems that Captivate 2 will seemingly always
point at the playback control file in the HTML file. The playback
control file then loads up the main .SWF file. Also note that the
HTML file will also contain a differing height statement for the
movie. Presumably this is to account for the added playback
control.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

How to disable player controls when embedding mp4 video?

I am trying to embed a mp4 video in a web page. Is there a tag for hiding the player's controls? I want my video to loop without any display of the player controls. Also, if anyone knows of some sample code for embedding .mp4 with all available tags I would sure like to see it.
Thanks,

How to publish a Captivate piece to Import as Animation with Media Player Controls

I want to record a demonstration of an application using
Captivate 3. Then, I want to publish this as a flash piece. (swf).
Then, I want to "import as animation" into a WBT template using
Captivate. The issue I am having is importing the flash piece to
include the media player controls so the user has control of only
that flash piece. Usually, we get two swf files one of the main
recording and another of the skin (media player). I know I am
missing something either in my publishing options or somewhere
else.
Can anyone help?

Welcome to our community, juando_m
You might try this. In the first project, click Project >
Skin... > Borders tab and DE-select the "Show Borders" check
box. This should coax the playback controls into the main part of
the movie so there is a single .SWF. You could then have the
playback controls present in the .SWF you insert into the second
Captivate.
Note that doing this will also cause the playback controls to
cover part of the movie.
I'm not sure how well the playback controls will work once
the project gets inside the second. So I wouldn't be too surprised
if they failed to work. But they might. So it's definitely worth
trying to see.
Cheers... Rick

On certain web sites(with java applets embedded or rich content),sometimes browser hotkeys are beeing used with other functionality (eg.: youtube uses ctrl + tab for sliding between player controls).How can I prevent this?

Thanks for posting this!
I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector. It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....

Hi,
Please check that your swfobject.js file is located where your .swf file and.html file are published. Your .swf file, .html file and swfobject.js should be placed on the same folder.
In my Flash CS4 the code generated in the HTML file is different and is having 318 lines of code. But the code which you pasted below looks different. If you are not able to see the flash content only in HTML file then it might be active content blocking. Please refer the link which provides fix for active content blocking manually.

No Player Controls

Hi guys
I'm using Captivate 3 and when I publish, there are no player
control bar. its works fine in the preview.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Graham

Hi Graham
Are you publishing in .EXE format? If so, I've seen it where
you record something full screen and the .EXE doesn't show the
playback controls. If this is what is happening, it's likely
because the controls are out of the viewable screen area. One way
to confirm this is to click File > Save As... to produce a new
copy of your project, then click Project > Resize Project... and
shrink the copy by perhaps 40% (60% of original size) then publish
that and I'm guessing the controls are there.
I think you will find the bottom line answer here is that
your movie size needs to be smaller. Either that, or you need to
click Project > Skin... > Borders tab and DE-select the "Show
Borders" check box so as to push the playback controls up and
partially cover part of your movie.
Cheers... Rick

ChromeApplication player controls not displaying.

I'm attempting to modify the OSMF sample application so that it does not depend on parameters to be passed via a URL. I'm having trouble understanding how to play the media and show the player controls.

Okay – I think I'm making progress :-)
In my FLA file, I have a FLVPlayback component in my library.
When I export the video to an SWF it provides me with 2 SWF files:
the flash movie and the skin. With those 2 files, I also upload my
FLV file to my server.
On my media server, the video displays correctly (here's the
link to it:
http://jonah.eastern.edu/ben/ben_jump.html)
However, when I try embedding the video onto a different
sight and server, just the video displays. I completely understand
that there's 2 different SWF's, but how do I import the video
correctly, so the video playback is displaying correctly when
embedded on other/external sites.
Is there a way to attach/import the SWF for the skin? I'm
just trying to embed video's like YouTube and I'm failing horribly!
Thank you so much!

I cannot play radio station with embedded player on Mountain Lion

Hi all,
Since buying my first ever Macbook Pro back in April 2012 I have had problems playing radion stations which appear to have embedded player (MWP?). I installed Flip4Mac and have the latest version of [Version 10.2 (603.6)], updated plug-ins for both Google Chrome and Mozila Firefox and still no joy.
The machine came with Lion 10.7 installed and I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8. This upgrade didn't help with the problem either. The radio station im am trying to listen to is www.radiovaleam.com
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
GGQB

Thanks Varjak Paw!
I know this particular radio station is very hit and miss as far as being on air is concerned, but the problem that I am having is that the controls on their page are not shown by my browsers on Mountain Lion, as shown in the picture below:
Any idea where I am going wrong here? All my systems seems to be up-to-date and working well, with the exception of instances like this particular one, and always to do with some media formats.
Best wishes,
GGQB

Show quicktime player controls in Keynote for iOS?

I am trying to build an interactive iPad presentation in Keynote, which is essentially a wrapper for hundreds of training videos. On the mac, you can pause and scrub through a video housed within a Keynote presentation but I do not see that option on iOS. Can anybody confirm this, or does somebody know a way to enable quicktime player controls on a video playing in Keynote?
Thanks!
Brian

FOUND THE SOLUTION:
I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
-Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
-About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
-Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things. Hope it works for you.

Adobe Captivate 8.1 - Player options

Very new to Captivate 8.1
We have a slide that kicks off our course. If they click the Watch Lesson button it plays a video. Once the video plays, there appears to be two player controls. Is there a way to remove the one that seems to control the slides and only make the video player visible? I hope this question makes sense. I am attaching a screen shot.
First screen that appears when our course is launched in the LMS. If users click the Watch the Lesson button, it will kick off the video
Once the video kicks off, I have two player controls - the ones on the top (video) aren't visible unless I hover over it. While the video is playing, is there any way to make the bottom play controls go away? Also is there anyway to show the time remaining/time lapsed on the video/course?

If you have inserted this video as an Event video then it should be possible to turn off the player. Select the video on the slide and look at the Properties tab to find the references to the player skin being used.

Flash Player Control on Windows 8

I have a VB.NET application under development that uses the flash player control via axinterop.shockwaveflashobjects.dll and Interop.shockwaveflashobjects.dll. With the release preview of Windows 8 the flash animations do not work. I assume this has to do with the fact that Flsh is not integrated into Windows and something is missing. I tried to open my projects up in Windows 8 but the references mentioned earlier are not present. Any ideas if this will be fixed prior to the release of Windows 8, or do I need to start looking for an alternative?

I apologize if my original post was a bit confusing. Basically, the Flash control that can be embedded into applications does not run, and development using this control is not possible, on the Windows 8 Release Preview.
I cannot update the Flash player on Windows 8 becuase the new Release Preview now comes with Adobe Flash 11.3 pre-installed, and the only way to get updates for Flash is through Windows update. Users of Windows 8 are no longer able to update Flash themselves.
The Flash player that comes with Windows 8 works fine in the web browser. In fact I can view the same SWF file I am trying to run in my application just fine via the web browser, so I know the problem isn't with my SWF file. It is just the Flash control that is embedded in my application that doesn't work properly. I have tried to update Flash on my development machine to the 11.3 beta and then rebuild my app, but the problem still persists on Windows 8 Release Preview machines.
I even went so far as to install Visual Studio on a Windows 8 Release Preview machine to see if I could rebuild my applicaiton there to get the Flash control to work properly. However, I am not able to compile my application because the .NET interop files (axinterop.shockwaveflashobjects.dll & Interop.shockwaveflashobjects.dll) that come with the Flash Player install on other versions of Windows, are not present on Windows 8. And since I cannot run the Flash install myself on Windows 8 I cannot get those files onto that computer so that I can build my application there.

Clip notes - no player controls

I am trying to use clip notes - only problem is that everything is fine except the player controls don't show up below the clip. The controls are there if you click on the area, but you just can't see them (Just a black bar)
I'm using Reader 9

Let me guess:
You chose Quicktime for the video format, and you are using Vista 64.
Correct?
If so, then you are probably still OK. Apple doesn't support Quicktime
player on 64-bit Windows, and a symptom is the lack of visible
controls. But the file will play back just fine on 32-bit Windows, and,
I assume, on a Mac.

How to resize the embeded player in a page after it has loaded?

Hi all
I'm working with Flash 8, with the FLV player component. The
player loads various flash videos (flv)
that can have verious sizes.
I have set the autosize detection for the player. But I want
the size of the embeded player to also
change according to the size of the loaded flv.
For example, if the loaded flv is 100px by 100px, I want the
embeded player to be 100px by 100px (in
the html code). if the flv is 500px by 350px, i want the
embeded flav to change to that 500 x 350px.
As far as I know, the sizes of the flv file cannot be
detected with PHP or javascript, so only the
component can detect the flv size. Therefore I would need a
way to re-write the embeded code after
the flv has loaded.
Anybody knows how to do that? Is it possible?

Autohide Flash Player Controls

I've imported a Video file into Flash and added Player
Controls.
I've set the Autohide option to TRUE... so when the player
loads you can't see the Player Controls until Mouse Over.
This is all good... but they stay there and I don't want
that. I'd like for them to disappear again.
How do I set it so the Player Controls disappear
again?

Yeah I started to wonder if I could add a 2 px thick transparent "frame" around outside edge of the movie that - when moused over - would trigger the autohide. but I am not enough of a Flash/AS person to know how to do that.
Thanks for your help. I am hoping we can figure this out.

Divx web player won't show me any player controls.

I recently reinstalled divx on my macbook and now for some reason when i am streaming a divx video in safari there are no player controls. The video plays fine and when i double click, it was go to fullscreen. But it doesnt pause even when i push space bar. Any suggestions?

Having the same problem with some but not all of my 15" and 17" core I5 and I7 macbook pros. All are based on the same image. The afflicted ones can run DVD Player with the 32bit kernel but not with the 64bit kernel. applejack seemed to fix two out of three of them, but on at least one of those the problem returned. When it doesn't work, the DVD Player is running and I can hear the audio, but the video is black.
