Captivate 3 Published file won't execute JavaScript

Pulbished Captivate 3 course. Final screen has an exit button with the following script: ab_SetScoreStatus(100,'completed');ab_CloseWindow(); When I post the course to our LMS it uploads fine, but when I try and run the course I get an error when I click on the Exit button and it doesn't do anything. I had someone try the same thing on their computer and it works fine for them so I'm thinking it's something with my settings. This used to work for me but then I got a new computer so not sure if the settings (IE, Flash or ????) are different or what. I'm running Flash 10, and IE 8. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Good morning Rick, and thank you for trying to help.

Publisher files won't eprint

I have been trying to eprint Microsoft Publisher files and they won't print. Aren't these file types supported ??

Hi scottybooj. How are you using Eprint to send print jobs? Are you emailing them as attachments? Are you using a mobile app? Have you checked your Eprint account to see if the print jobs are being recieved?

Flash version detection with Captivate published files?

Doe sanyone know if the Captivate publishes their HTML file
that includes a flash detector of the user's system when they first
attempt to activate a piece of Cpativate content.?
I have a customer who wants to know how (most automatic )
method to have their Captivate contnet viewers systmes checked for
the approriate Flash player and feedback message to alert them tof
the need and how to download.

Hi jonturkle
I'm going to crawl way out here on this shaky little limb and
say that this is factored into the mix. I say that because I
recently saw a post where someone needed to output Captivate in
Flash 6 format. Captivate 3 outputs in Flash 7 format as a minimum.
They were saying that when they attempted to run the Captivate
files, the users were being prompted to install a newer version of
the Flash player.

Captivate 5 File Won't Open

Hi, I built a simulation using Captivate 5 using Windows 7. As I was adding the voiceover to this simulation (which was 81,890 KB) the file would unexpectedly crash and work would be lost. This happened several times. Finally, the file crashed and wouldn't re-open at all. This file represents several days work. When I try to reopen it, I get the following error message (please see attached screenshot):
Adobe Captivate could not open "the file" Ensure that:
-The files is not open already
- The file is not damanged.
-The hard disk has suffecient available space
-The system has suffeicent resources.
As far as I can tell, nothing should be interfering with opening this file. I can open all my other Adobe Captivate 5 files. Any suggestions how I can save perhaps some of this work? thx!

I experienced the same issue today... A file I was working on last night would not open this morning. I don't know why.
I followed the instructions on this thread:
Downloaded dcache
Identified the correct cached file
Purchased Winzip
Zipped the files
Renamed the zipped file extension
Opened in Captivate
This took me some time (all of it was new to me) but it worked. Thank you for sharing this solution.
A question for Adobe engineers monitoring this thread - what causes this to happen? Is it something that we users are doing?
Kind Regards,
Sara

Captivate 7 file won't open

I recently suffered a crash in captivate. Now the cptx file I was working on won't open.
I've read about using dcashe utility but our ICT dept won't allow me to download and install it.
Is there any other way to fix the file?

Good morning,
Do you have "Generate Project Backup" selected in the General Settings in Preferences?
My experience is that if you do not have Generate Project Backup selected or download the dcache utility there really is not much that can be done to try and recover it.
Perhaps the more experienced Captivate folks can weigh in on this too.

Jar file won't execute

I have written a program to manipulate an access database, it works fine from Eclipse but when I create a jar file using Jarbuilder 0.8, this jar file wont execute. It returns
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: invalid header field
at java.util.jar.attributes.read(Unknown Source)
at java.util.jar.Manifest.read(Unknown Source)
at java.util.jar.Manifest.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.jar.Jarfile.getManifest(Unknown Source)
The whole set of classes is online together with the database at users.skynet.be/NewOne/Televisie.rar (with Hoofdvenster as Manifest)
and the jar file at
users.skynet.be/NewOne/Televisie.jar
I was wondering, do I have to include anything special because i m working with an ODBC here, or what else could be the problem ?
All comments and suggestions are welcome, thnx in adance !!

Hi there!
After a brief look at your manifest a saw that you specifie the path to your main-class like this:
Main-Class: gui/Gui
...and when you make the jar-file you type:
jar cmf Manifest.txt JAppointment.jar Gui/*.class ...etc..
Remember that Java is case-sensitive and look at "gui" and "Gui" differently!
Maybee that could be the problem?
/Andrew

Jar files won't execute

"Could not find the main class. Program will exit!"
no matter what i put in the manifest, i keeps saying that,
i've read everything i could find at jar files, and nothing works

Have you put Main-class attribute in manifest file ?
if yes, did you put a new line after this attribute ?

Captivate 5.5 published files are not visible in Fire Fox or open in new window.

When I publish and post Captivate 5.5, the HTML or the swf files do not display in Fire Fox (latest version) without forcing the file to open in a new window (if it displays at all). If it does work, the Flash security blocks the swf on an ugly view until the user clicks.
I thought it was because I have to assign a direct URL to each component, but all of the other Captivate sites I have reviewed have the same issue when viewing in Fire Fox.
IE will display after the active x is authorized (I can live with that).
You Tube and other Flash display properly in Fire Fox, just not Captivate products.
I have disabled off all plugins, modified the protected settings, and everything I could find listed in the Fire Fox help. I have installed a previous version of Flash and Shockwave Player. Short of reinstalling windows, it is not working and that will not help because the published content is not visible on any other machine in the office or at home.
The files are in a Portal, so I cannot share them unless you are in the DoD and have an AKO or DKO account.
However, here is another example of the Captivate not working.
https://clc.dau.mil/games (this displays on some computers, but not all)
http://www.hartisd.net/pages/uploaded_files/Assignment_Search.mht (After allowing the mht, this displays in IE)
I am not sure if it has something to do with the other 2 published xml files that are not directly referenced in the html, but I just need either the swf or html to display in the iframe without forcing another window to display and without a lot of dependecy issues with other add-ons in Fire Fox.
- Thanks!

Any of the DAU games, if they display. It is a government site, so they have the standard gov garbage (stuff not working like certificates), but nothing is harmful nor can they do anything to track other than the current session.
It is kind of weird how the content is displayed... It is not an intranet, it goes to a limited access portal. When I store content, it uses an absolute path instead of relative path. Very aggrevating when using many of the tools for non-programmers (like me), and probably more aggrevating for programmers.
Whether I point directly to the .swf or to the generated HTML, the content displays in IE, but not in FF.
It may be a combination of FF and Captivate. FF seems rather flaky in dealing with swf files. There is the consideration for add-ons, but I tried on a newly imaged computer and it still was not working. Even after going through all of the FF steps to get it to work.
Basically we had to create a new HTML file to display the content because the Captivate published files don't work. However, the new HTML does not reference the XML files.
When I publish, I get 5 different files, .swf, .htm, .js, and 2 .xml. When I dig through the code (once again, not a programmer, soo I may be missing something), even round tripping to Flash, I do not see how the .xml files are referenced at all.
These may be different topics, not sure, it came up because I am trying to get a simple solution from the product that can be easily transferred to our production servers and available for Solders to access.
- Thanks

Using "Execute Javascript" to mark a course as Complete.

I am using a 3rd party Flash-based player (Flashform) to
bundle Captivate and Flash made SWF files into a SCORM 1.2 package.
My final SWF is a Captivate assessment, which, if passed, should
change the course lesson status to “completed”. Can I
accomplish this by using “Execute Javascript” on a
button and run something like:
“FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.lesson_status,completed");”
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Jon

If you were using only the Captivate-published files for
SCORM, it would likely be fairly straightforward to do what you're
looking for.
Unfortunately, since you're using a 3rd-party player, you'll
have to consult the documentation for the player to determine which
capabilities it exposes and how you can access those capabilities.

Captivate published Swf to open an external PDF file

Hi all,
I need help to open an external PDF file from the swf file.
I used this previously. But realised that I can only open the pdf file from the published html file but not the swf file.
function onClick() {
window.open("mypdf.pdf");
onClick();
Can anyone tell me what is wrong as i am not very good with javascript.
Thanks.

Lilybiri is correct that you should be able to use the Open URL or File action.
But I also just tested your JS code on my own PC here in Captivate (triggered by a button set to Execute Javascript) and it worked fine.
If you are testing this locally on your PC hard drive, have you made sure that the publish folder location is set up as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings? It might not be working for that reason.
You can also try uploading your SWF and PDF file to a web server and testing from there. Flash Global Security doesn't tend to bother content from a web server.

Issues with Executing Javascript command in Captivate

Hi,
I am having issues with executing javascript for a button in adobe captivate 5. Let me explain what I am trying to do. I am working on a WBT that has three skill checks throught the course. These skill checks are not graded or tracked for completion. I currently have an image button that has the command "Open another project" The first image button is pointed to SkillCheck1 and I have the html file and swf file in the published root folder. This currently works fine.
However I want to use javascript to open a new window 800X600 with not toolbars at the top. I got this part working with the code below:
window.open('http://www.adobe.com','mywin',
'left=40,top=40,width=800,height=600,toolbar=1,resizable=0');
My only problem is, once the popup opens, my WBT goes to a page that says [object] and thats it. I am uploading two images to show what I have. Can someone help resolve my issue of the WBT going to

Ok so I took this link and viewed over it. I am new to Javascript and know very little about it. Therefore this script kind of makes no sense to me.
<script language="JavaScript"></script>
<a href="javascript:myOpen('page.htm','windowName','height=100,width=100')">text link</a>
I chose the option to exectute javascript. Does captivate need all of this including <script language=JavaScript"> Here is how I edited the script. Should I make any changes to what is in bold?
var windowHandle = '';
function myOpen(url,name,attributes) {
windowHandle = window.open(url,name,attributes);
<a href="javascript:myOpen('http://www.adobe.com','Adobe Website','height=600,width=800')">text link</a>

Execute Javascript, window.print(), prints blank page in Captivate 7

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Captivate, and am no Javascript expert. I've been trying to figure out how to print the last slide in project, which has a custom certificate. I initially tried the print widget that comes with Captivate 7, but the scaling is off when printed. There are no options to change the scale of the printed slide on the widget properties, so that seemed to be a bust. I then tried to create a button to execute javascript when clicked. In the script window I put, window.print(); now this works to bring up the print box, but only prints a blank page. I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong with javascript. I've been reading other forum posts, and this function seems to work for others using different versions of Captivate.
I know there is a cool print widget that someone has made, but I'd actually prefer to just do this with javascript. I haven't tried the buyable print widget yet, but I am trying not to use widgets so that the html can be scalable.
I'm publishing my projects and uploading them to GoogleDrive, where I then preview the html output.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
Kailey

Wow, thank you for such a speedy response Rick. I've actually been using Firefox and Google Chrome, because IE isn't updated enough to work with Google Drive properly (and I don't want to go through the whole process to get privileges to update on work computer). But I did check this box in Firefox. Instead of printing the objects on my slide, it printed a big square light grey background. It's almost like the the browser can't see the project.
I would think this was a browser problem, but I had previously downloaded a trial of Articulate (trying to decide between the two), which has the same execute javascript function as Captivate. Putting in window.print();, publishing, and uploading to Google Drive, printed just fine. Not sure if something in the code in Captivate isn't coming through, but is in Articulate. I'm not versed in html or javascript enough to compare the two html files.
Back to the drawing board! Thanks for your help.

Javascript is not working in the published file

Hi ,
I using the javascript in the captivate 5.5 to generate the text from variable in the textbox. It is working when I press the F12 button, But it is not working in the Published file.
I called the function in the button and I written the script in the slide.
Please let us know how to proceed..
Thanks
Sathish BC

This is the Script I used in the captivate 5.5 and I called the text using variable in the text box.
var objCP = document.Captivate;
function valText()
var a = objCP.cpEIGetValue('A');
var b = objCP.cpEIGetValue('B');
if (b>=5)
objCP.cpEISetValue('B',0);
GetAryVal(b);
objCP.cpEISetValue('rdcmndGotoFrameAndResume', objCP.cpEIGetValue('currSlide'));
function GetAryVal(e)
var a1 = objCP.cpEIGetValue('Txt');
var b1 = a1.split("#");
var c1 = b1[e-1].split("$");
objCP.cpEISetValue('C', c1[0]);
objCP.cpEISetValue('D', c1[1]);
valText();

Captivate 6 - Combining publishing files

We're working to convert our old multimedia presentation system to a modern one. To maintain backwards compatibility, we want to use Captivate to publish both Flash and HTML5, which is already supported. The problem we've run into is that we can't have "multiscreen.html" operate as a frame-based system. Instead, we need the player to be generated in the same file as it determines which player to load (supervisors instructions). This would be beyond easy in PHP, but we're restricted to jQuery. I've gotten the system to work, but there is a hiccup that I have not been able to correct. When the HTML5 player loads, the #project_container DIV is not compensating for the height of the playbar, so it's generating 720px instead of 750px. Editing the height in the CPLibrary, or through jQuery after the DoCPInit() runs, results in a partial fix. Either of these modifications will allow the playbar to display, but only after adjust the size of the browser window. Upon generation, the playbar is hidden below the screen.
As it is, I've yet to figure out why the playbar is being ignored by the replacement of the three original .html files.
The file I created can be viewed at http://studentweb.ecpi.edu/chresb9788/ENG120_U1_Lecture1/index_frameless.html while the original published files can be accessed at http://studentweb.ecpi.edu/chresb9788/ENG120_U1_Lecture1/index.html. I renamed the files so they make logical sense, but otherwise they're the exact same. The CPLibrary file is also in its original state, no modifications as all. If you pull up a browser debugger on the index.html, you'll see that the #project_container displays the appropriate height by default, while the index_frameless.html displays the appropriate height - playbar height (30 px short).
Other than the hiding playbar, my code seems to work perfectly and I have been able to copy the files to additional publications from Captivate with identical results (fully functional, just the quirk with the playbar).
Most of the modifications I've had to make were for background transparency. Here's a list of the files I've modified to make this work:
\assets\css\CPLibrary.css
\assets\js\CPWidgetManager.js
\captivate.css
\index_frameless.html (Combination of projectname.html, index.html, and multiscreen.html, with tweaking of the Flash/HTML5 identification)
\project.js
\standard.js
Any assistance that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.

Alright, so I figured out that the "primary" issue was with the wrapper DIV used to load the player based upon whether HTML5 video was playable or not. As soon as I removed the wrapper, it worked without issue. It's not exactly what was wanted, but we by-passed the issue by wrapping the CSS and JavaScript links in the wrapper alone and applied jQuery to force the player/loading screen and wrapper to hide when the Flash player is used (displayed using wrapper too).
This means that everything loads regardless of the player being used, but it hides what isn't needed from view. A working copy can be found at http://studentweb.ecpi.edu/chresb9788/ENG120_U1_Lecture1/index_frameless_new.html. For anyone interested, here is the direct code utilized:

Maybe yall will be able to figure out a better way to do this, but this will be enough for our purposes. All we'd have to do is replace the SWFObject with a new Flash output and put this file in the output folder.

Captivate 4 - Issue viewing exported PDF in published file on LMS

I'm working in Captivate 4 and have included a link to a PDF document on a particular screen. It works beautifully when I view the published file until I move the files into the LMS - at that point, the PDF won't launch.
Here's what I've done and hopefully someone can tell me what I need to do differently?? I created a click box on a screen and have set the On Success field to "Open URL or file". I browsed to find the location of my PDF and clicked the drop down arrow to select "New" and "Continue playing project" (so the learner can return to the original course when they're done reading the PDF). When I publish the file to Flash, I select the "Export PDF" option and it does it's magic. When I preview the published version, everything works beautifully, the course runs, the PDF launches and life is good. Then, I set up the course on our LMS and copy over the published files (including the source PDF). The course plays as expected until the learner clicks to view the PDF - at that point, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Does this have anything to do with Adobe Reader 9 (which many of our learners wouldn't have on their desktops)? Do I need to convert my PDF to HTM? Help... please!

Hello,
If I do understand your question all right (sorry, am not a native English speaker), I do believe you are mixing up two things. If you want indeed to publish to PDF (and not to SWF or EXE), you'll get a multimedia PDF (in which a SWF can play) but in that case the user really do need the Adobe Reader 9, previous versions do not support multimedia PDF.
What seems a bit contradictory is that you start with mentioning an issue with a PDF that should be called from a CP-slide. The problem there could be that you were linking to an absolute path on your PC when browsing, can you check that? If you introduce simply the name of the PDF and you make sure that the PDF and the CP-published files (normally HTML, JS and SWF) are uploaded in the same folder, the CP will find the PDF. I think you now have a 'broken link' because of an absolute path reference for the PDF.
