Captivate 2 in Authorware 7 - making it wait ??

We are wanting to use an Authorware 7 wrapper to hold
multiple Captivate 2 files. Most of the swf files we are publishing
from Captivate are interactive with branching. (so a simple frame
count isn't really helpful to us)
The Captivate files hold the content for each chapter in the
Authorware file. The user must view the entire Captivate file
before moving on to the chapter quiz. After the quiz, they return
to the Authorware menu, from which to pick the next chapter.
We want to stop the user from skipping any content, so on
each Authorware page there is a menu bar that deactivates while the
content plays. When it reactivates, the user can click Next to move
to the quiz.
The only way I've figured out to do all of this yet is as
follows....
1. On the main flowline, add a Map icon. (the icons on that
level make up the Authorware menu)
2. WIthin the Map icon (Level 2), add these icons:
- A Framework icon that includes another Map icon (to hold
the Captivate file) and a Map icon that holds the chapter quiz (a
quiz KO).
3. Within the Map icon for the Captivate file (Level 3), add
these icons:
- A calculation icon that turns off the Authorware menu bar,
so they can't navigate from that page.
- Display icon that says "Click Continue button to begin
this chapter."
- A Wait icon that has the Continue button.
- The Flash Icon (the Captivate file)
- A Wait icon that waits for the approximate length of time
it will take the user to view/interaction with the Captivate file.
- A calcuation icon that turns on the menu bar so they can
move on to the quiz.
All of that works pretty well, except for the Wait to finish
playing the captivate file. Since these are interactive SWFs, we
really don't know how long it will take for the user to complete
it. So, we have to guess how many seconds to put on the Wait icon,
which could allow them to skip the end of the Captivate file if
they notice the menu has been turned back on.
What are we missing here? There has to be a better way of
setting all of this up! We like using Authorware because it sends
info well to the corporate LMS (plateau), so we can't completely
leave Authorware. But we like how Captivate creates the flash
movies -- which makes the content look slicker than is possible in
Authorware.
Thanks!

Well, for a normal movie this would be really easy - as
Authorware and Flash can communicate perfectly using FS Commands,
and the Flash movies can tell Authorware, "I'm done!". No such luck
in Captivate - as you can't access the actionscript.
So... maybe have the Captivate movie close automatically at
the end, and maybe Authorware can detect that it has closed?
A side note... my adult learning background would say that as
a general practice, it's not effective to force users to sit
through content. If they know it already, let them skip it. Just
test them on it at the end :)

Captivate Tracking in Authorware

I am trying to track results to courses we are developing in
Captivate. Since we do not have an LMS, we are trying to store data
in an Access database. I have very little (alright, I have no)
experience setting up Authorware with Access (and very little
knowledge of Access). I have researched all of the threads on this
site and the Captivate site and have reached a point where I need
some assistance.
I have been successful with the following:
1. Set up a Login KO.
2. Inserted a Captivate KO. I found a thread somewhere that
shows how to view the interaction tracking on the screen within
Authorware (kinda like using the trace option) and have this set up
so I can see these results while I am taking the course, but
obviously I don't want the end-user to see this information.
And that is where I am lost. How do I capture the
interactions from Captivate back to a database?
It seems like it would be very simple but I can not find the
answer or at least can't figure it out. I have tried the Captivate
information posted on Adobe from Joe Ganci about the Captivate KO
but he doesn't deliver how to track the results. I have also tried
to review the Zip file from a previous post containing files from
TAAC, Las Vegas. I didn't see what I am trying to achieve in these
files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I used to be able to watch a rented move on my Apple TV when it was partially downloaded. Now it is making me wait till it is fully downloaded. What changed?

when renting movies on my Apple TV, I used to be be able to start watching when only 1 or 2% downloaded. Today it made me wait till it was fully downloaded in 2 hours. Did something change? Why do I have to wait?

Playback will start onice a portion has loaded, this will be indicated by the option to start now or watch later. If it continues to buffer during playback or there are other issues then that will be due to the network.
What is your current connection via speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try Ethernet

More than one person making changes - wait or alternative?

Hello all,
We are currently using ical to keep track of events in the company, and publishing this information so that colleagues (who work on different locations) can keep up to date.
What we really need, however, is for them to be able to make changes in the calanders published centrally, and vise versa.
It seems Ical is unable to facilitate this, which brings me to the following questions:
Are there any indications this feature will be available in the (foreseeable) future?
Are there alternatives? Which software has Ical's capabilities but also allows multiple users to access and alter calendars?
I am getting desperate, so I hope someone has some good advice!
Lianne.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Tutorial - how to track user progress in a Captivate movie

I wanted to start working with the new scripting capabilities
in Captivate 4 and thought a good first project would be to create
a set of variables and custom actions and execute the actions based
on the state of the variables. I wrote up a description/walkthrough
with screenshots and the source .cp is downloadable here:
http://elearninglive.com/wordpress/2009/01/tracking-user-progress-in-captivate-4-using-var iables-and-actions/
Hopefully it proves useful to others!
A couple of things I mention at the bottom of the post in
regards to the new features in CP4:
1. The actions window is amazingly slow once you add more
than a handful of actions. Perhaps it's just my machine? I have a
very fast machine with lots of ram, but perhaps it's something
unique to my environment?
2. You can't 'chain' actions. In other words, you cannot use
'execute multiple actions' setting to execute user-created actions,
just the built-in ones, which seems to me a pretty big limitation.
I had to work around it.
3. As an add-on to #1 above - there is no way to
import/export code. Since the actions window is so slow it would be
ideal if we could just import code written in a text file, or
better yet, have a simple code editor (like the actions panel in
Flash).
My 2 cents, fwtw, as a new CP4 user....

The biggest problem Authorware had was poor marketing. Second
was it had no
way to natively create the eye-candy that Flash was wowing
the world with.
Third, there was no attempt by Macromedia modernise
Authorware with a lot of
very basic things that would have made a huge difference to
everyone's
perception of the tool
Fourth, Marketing kept telling people Authorware was dead,
from about
Authorware 5. I think the Flash team was on a bonus for
converting people

I think it is clear to those of us that have had to move to
Captivate from
Authorware that Captivate is *very* lacking in specific
advanced features
and functionality that old hands are used to. As with any
product, users are
bombarding adobe with requests that boost the power and scope
of Captivate.
It's a natural progression.

Captivate 2 right-click and drag and drop in simulation

Captivate has been suggested as a suitable replacement for
Authorware since the announcement that Adobe doesn't plan to
continue with Authorware. I find myself in the position to put this
to the test. I'm in the process of recreating a course that had
been created in Authorware in a toolset comprised of Artuculate
Presenter, Articulate Quizmaker, Articulate Engage, Captivate, and
PowerPoint.
The simulation created in Authorware has these feautures:
-learner right clicks on items on screen to see a context
menu then selects option from the context menu
-learner drags toolbar and other items on screen to another
screen location
-learner selects item from Windows Start>>Program and
other application menus. As the learner's mouse moves over the
menu, menu options highlight and flyout menus appear even if
they're not directly involved in the simulation
-learner logs into course with an employee ID number. This
information is stored and is used in the simulation in which they
log into the system being simulated.
Can I do any of these things in Captivate?
I suspect I can simulate the flyout menus with a number of
mouse over hotspots - exactly the way it's done in Authorware.
However, I haven't found any way to do simulate the other items:
-use of drag and drop where the learner performs the action
-use of a variable value to check validity of what has been
entered in the text field
-use of right click to advance Captivate simulation.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me. After all, I've
heard many people claim that Captivate can replace Authorware.
Thanks
Grace Daminato

Hi Grace,
Captivate is indeed a replacement for Authorware, but only in
the way that an Audi is a replacement for a Ferrari. They do the
same basic job, but you need to do some after market modifications
to the Audi to level the playing field somewhat.
1) Flyout menus are indeed possible, if you're willing to
create "rollovers" that display a picture of the expanded menu when
the user mouses over. You are limited to exposing only first-level
menus, however. Captivate does not allow for rollovers on
rollovers, except possibly via Captivate 3's Slidelet
functionality.
***EDIT***: You can also use Paul Dewhurst's rollover widgets
to fake multi-level menu behavior. They are available from Paul's
site here:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=29
2) Drag-and-drop in Captivate is currently only available as
an add-in Flash object, each of which must unfortunately be built
by hand in Flash. Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst offers
source files for such interactions on his website:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=29
3) Captivate has built-in checking of field values, but you
are limited to hardcoded values only. If you need variable-based
input checking, you must create it yourself in Flash and insert it
as an animation.
4) Right-click is possible in Captivate, but must be added
manually. Captivate community contributor William Heinz has created
a nifty right-click solution for HTML/SWF publication and Paul
Dewhurst again comes to the rescue with a solution for .EXE-based
output:
HTML/SWF-based Output:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/rightclick.html
EXE-based Output:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=29
Unfortunately, making these modifications to Captivate files
comes at a cost. First, there's the overhead of tracking down and
implementing the custom enhancements. More importantly, Captivate
has no way of "scoring" custom enhancements, so any such
interactions will not be reflected in the user's reported results.
If you're willing to live with these limitations, and a few
others, Captivate can indeed be a suitable replacement for
Authorware.

New Captivate User

I'm New using Captivate and i need someone's help to make my
first project just i want suggestions to take the right way.
What i need to do is a practical exam in usind windows, i
begin to make it using authorware but i found it will take a long
time to do so, and they suggests captivate for me but i don't want
to make a software simulation what i need to di is a practical exam
that tracks actions of user and the result will be according to
steps user make not just one action, then i'll use
Captivate-Authorware KO to put the questions in authoreware and
i'll send result to authorware
what i needs to know in order to begin:
1- What type of projects i should select.
2- I need to capture screen shots for desktop and the output
project i need it to be in 640*480 resolution when i try to do so
the screen shots resolution is so bad.
3- I need to take result from Capitave into authorware and
when i tried to do so i didn't get the result.
Anyone have any suggestios about how to do this and how to
begin
An example for exam questions is the to make the steps to
shutdown the computer, so first user should click Start then click
"Turn off computer" then dialop appears and user click "Turn
off"

Personally, I find creating custom questions a lot easier in
Authorware -
but that's probably because I've been using Authorware since
the dark ages
(before 1999). Captivate 3 has many limitations that often
make it
impossible to build exactly what you need. But you didn't
really explain
what it is you need to do, you only told us that you find
Captivate easier
to use.
For the record, you should be able to build your own code in
Authorware,
without using the KO, that *might* give better access to
question data.
However I am relatively sure that there are solid limitations
in Captivate 3
that mean you won't ever be able to get quiz results into
Authorware. I'm
happy to be proven wrong, though, as I might find this
ability useful
sometime.

There's really not much you can do to fix this - if you
rescale your content
from 1024x768 down to 640x480, then there will always be a
loss of quality.
You could try using PhotoShop or Fireworks for the scaling,
as these *might*
produce better quality rescaled images, but I stress
**might**. You would
need to try first rescalinng the images, and then using
filters such as
Sharpen to improve the readibility of the final image.
Why are you using 640x480 as your screen shot size? We've
been able to
confidently publish our courseware at 1024x768 for years.

Stereo Audio recording in Captivate 6?

Hi, I am having problems with capturing stereo audio in sync with the video, in Captivate 6. I am making training videos for music software and have looped back the audio from the programme into Captivate, in order to record it's output. It monitors fine, but it looks as though Captivate is only recording the audio in mono - and there are no settings to change this. Is this the case? I really need stereo sound on the input, otherwise functions in the programme cannot be demonstrated correctly. I have looked through the forums and it would seem that stereo recording was definitely included in earlier versions (as it caused some users the opposite problem of sound from a microphone only appearing on one side). I am using Captivate version 6 on Windows 7. Please can you help me? Cheers, Mike

Hi Michael,
There is no option to select the audio recording as stereo or mono at time of recording.
Can you tell me that have you installed captivate as a part of suite or it is a stand alone Product?
If you have installed Captivate as a part of E-learning suite there is a software called as Adobe Auditon which also gets installed as a part of suite , which can serve your Purpose , It can record as stereo as well as mono. and you can directly insert the audio generated from this software in Captivate.
And In Captivate also there is an option in Edit > Prefrences>Publish settings.
You can uncheck the Publish as Mono option while Publishing and check if it works for you.
Please check the screenshot
Thanks and Regards

Can I make a function wait for a period of time?

Hey everyone
I just wanted some idea's on how best to tackle this problem
in actionscript.
All I want is that when a button is pressed it fades out the
current page and then fades in the new page to be displayed. How
ever when trying to fade out the current page i doesn't because it
goes to the label and starts to play but the next part of the
script tells it to go straight to the label to load the new page.
Does anyone have a clever way of making it wait till the current
page is faded out?
If worse comes to worse can I just make it wait a set period
of time before fading in the new page?
Ive attached a bit of the current code and comment it with
where the current page is faded out.
Thanks in advance for any help
Gaunt

What I'm struggling to get my head round though is how to I
get it to know when the fade out code is finished?
Because the way I have programmed it at the moment,
everything is done from one action script that registers the last
viewed page and then when the new page is clicked it will just call
gotoAndPlay to the point where my pages_mc will play fading out the
current page, then after that it will call gotoAndPlay on the
pages_mc to play the fade in of the new page.
I just dont see how I call the second gotoAndPlay function
once I know the first gotoAndPlay function has ended.
Does that make any sense or am I just being stupid??
Thanks for the help again though kglad

Adobe Captivate 3

With the End-Of-Development announced for Authorware, Adobe
asked me to
write this article on Adobe Captivate 3 that should be useful
to Authorware
users who are not code lovers, and those who need to do
software simulation
and scenario-based training:-
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/authorware_cp3.html
Steve

Hi Steve,
Given you are in touch with Adobe, and also recognise in your
article that
Captivate 3 will not export to a version of Flash that
Authorware can play
using the asset xtra - it seems that the least Adobe could do
for the
Authorware community is release a new version of the Flash
Asset Xtra that
does support a version of Flash exported by Captivate 3, or
release the
source code to allow someone else to finish building this for
the community.
I know that Mike Baker was working on a new version of the
Asset Xtra during
the AW8 beta, and from memory it wasn't far off being
finished. I put my
hand up as a company that would be prepared to finish off
this Xtra and
release it to the community for free if they were prepared to
give us the
source code. This would allow developers to move to Captivate
slowly from
Authorware, and make this process a bit less painful.
Are you in a position to put this proposal forward to the
powers that be
within Adobe? If not, would you be willing to pass on the
contact details
of who we should contact?
Regards, Glenn.

Adobe Captivate 6.0

does adobe captivate 6.0 supports STATIC WIDGET for HTML5 Output?..
or is there a way to access the system variables in captivate through Javascript for HTML5 Output?
I really need your answers. Thank you.

Do you have some links or example how to access those system variables in captivate (for HTML5 version)? I've doing this for almost one week but I didn't see any solutions forthis. I am making a new customized widget that could control the captivate commands like cpCmndPause,cpCmndNextSlide and other captivate commands. I'm making the .wdgt file in captivate so that it would support for both swf and html5 output. Thank you for your Help.

HTML5 Output for Adobe Captivate 6

Hi,
I really need some Help. I am making a static widget in captivate 6 to where it could also access the system variables in captivate (Like cpCmndPause, cpCmndExit and etc.) using Actionscript 3.0. Now, It is for the swf Output. I am making for swf Output and as well as Html5 Output. I made Successfully the Static Widget for the swf Output and my Problem is how I could Make this in HTML5 Output. I did make a .wdgt file to where it contain the swf directory and html5 directory, And I would like to know if How I could make/access the same system variables in captivate, and I think it would be through javascript right?. I really need your Help on how to do this.
Is this available for the Html5 Output in Captivate? really need your Help. Thank you.

Interactions not working in Captivate 7

I have purchased Captivate 7. There are supposed to be "interactions". When I go to ->Insert ->Interactions a blank popup window appears. When I start clicking around in that window a few interactions appear, but not he entire list. I need to access "web interaction" so as to import html into a Captivate project. If I click on any of the interactions and click "insert" I get popup saying "not a valid widget". I was told that these interactions are available "out of the box" for Captivate 7. Any ideas of how I can get this to work?

After you launch Captivate and create/open a project, please wait for sometime (maximum a couple of minutes) and then launch Interaction dialog.
If it still doesn't work then You may also try to recreate your preferences.Delete or rename the Captivate 7 folder from the location mentioned below.

Interactions not present in Captivate 7

Hello,
I was previously in a discussion with Rajeev (and Lilybiri) about this topic. It is still not resolved. I have renamed the folder in the preferences folder and restarted Captivate which generated a new folder.... and I have enabled myself as "root user" on my Macbook Pro running 10.9. The initial problem was posted as follows:

Lilybiri, I f I may be allowed the privledge to rant a little bit... I have been keeping a log of all the communications here in a word document. Here is what you posted for me to do..I am pasting here:
Hello and welcome,
Something must have gone awry. Are you on Windows? In that case, close Captivate and browse to this path:
Users\Public\Public Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\
You'll find a folder Interactions there, delete that folder. Then restart Captivate. A fresh folder will be installed.

In the post that followed I stated that I am on a MAC. So there is no possible way for me to do that......
Rajeev then posted this:

I have no idea where you have gotten the idea that I am working off a network drive as I am working off of a Macbook Pro that is not connected to any network (except internet). Might you have me confused with somebody else???
As for the interactions/widgets question....I only mention BOTH because when I go "interactions" and click on one, I get the prompt "not a valid widget"
I also do not like wasting time. I have already spent approximently 15 hours trying to resolve this issue. I spend a LOT of money on this program and do not think it an unreasonable expectation that it should work as advertised. I appreciate that you are spending free time and make the request that you spend NO more time on this personally and would appreciate being directed to the appropriate Adobe representitive.
I only posted a second time because I posted back yesterday and received NO REPONSE all day long. After waiting 8 hours with no response, I figured the case was dropped and reposting was my only recourse.
Thank you,
John Carter

How does the rightclick in captivate 6 work?

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with the rightclick in captivate 6. I`m making softwaresimulations for the products of my company. The design of our software requiers a lot of rightclicks. When I publish the simulation as a html-file the rightclick is absolutly no problem. Also publishing the file as a swf-File and playing in a browser makes no problems. But sadly, because of the technical requirements of our costumers, the softwaresimulation must be played in a flash-standalone-player like Adobe Flash 11 sa. But when I test the simulation in the standalone-player the rightclick doesn`t work anymore.
My question is, how can I make the rightclick in this case working correctly?
I would be so thankful if anybody could help me.
Greetings
Konrad

Thank you for your answer. But I`m not sure if you understand me right. I don`t want to publish an exe-File. I just want to run the swf-File in a standalone flash player and use the rightclick.
Doesn`t the flash player support JavaScript?
