Captivate 4 bombs with 3D motion SWF
I have a small AS3 swf of a roatating logo that drives Captivate 4 crazy. I have no problem with other AS3 swfs but the rotating logo won't work. It plays fine with a Flash 10 viewer or even in the Captivate library previewer. When I try to publish or preview the slide show I get a flashing Captivate preloader and stills of the logo movie. Does Captivate 4 have an incompatibility with the 3D motion tool in Flash? It can't be duplicated in AS2.
Here's the as3 code. Think of your logo as a business card that has a font and a back. This card gets rotated on the Y axis 360 degrees. The ENTER_FRAME event is what triggers the rotation. All you need to do is create assets named mcFront and mcBack and place them on stage.
import flash.events.*
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, EnteringFrame);
//Start out the rotation with edge facing you
mcFront.rotationY = -90;
mcBack.rotationY = -90;
var bol:Boolean = true;
function EnteringFrame(e:Event) {
//check boolean value
if (bol) {
mcFront.visible = true;
mcFront.rotationY += 4; //adjust this number for speed of rotation
if (mcFront.rotationY >= 90) {
mcFront.visible = false;
mcFront.rotationY = -90;
bol = false;
else {
mcBack.visible = true;
mcBack.rotationY += 4; //adjust this number for speed of rotation
if(mcBack.rotationY >= 90) {
mcBack.visible = false;
mcBack.rotationY = -90;
bol = true;
//trace("Bol: " + bol);

Full motion .swf's in Adobe Presenter
This has been one of the most frustrating and time consuming
technical issues I've ever encountered. This is my 3rd posting (2
on a Captivate forum, 1 on a Presenter forum), and no one is able
to help me! Surely I can't be the only one to encounter the blank
screens that appear in my .swf files embedded in Adobe Presenter.
When I publish the Captivate file to .swf, multiple files are
generated. There are around 20 of them called "Fullmotion"... I can
view the main .swf file fine in IE, but when I insert the Flash
file in Presenter and publish the file, the video in the published
presentation plays for a while, then a white screen pops up, goes
back to playing, white screen again, etc... I figured out that
those white screens appear whenever there's a "Fullmotion" .... At
first I thought it was a Flash version issue, but that isn't the
case. Then I thought I had my answer when someone suggested to turn
off the borders. That didn't work.
What's the deal here? We paid a lot of money for these Adobe
products, you'd think they'd work together! Or that they would at
least offer free support ! Please someone help me!!Hi,
The John Daigle solutions doens´t help me either and I
dont know why. But I
fix it using Flash to import/export each fullmotion in
version 7 with AS
1.0 and "import" this files to the respective slide to change
for the older
one.
I hope that captivate´s team fix it in the next update.

Adobe Captivate / External Files of integrated SWF
I have an Captivate File that contains an SWF, that loads an external XML File. The SWF works perfect / AS3 and the files are in the correct folder.
However, Captivate does not link to the relative path, that is given by the swf, but to a very strange temporary path in my documents.../local.../temp...:
Error #2044: ioError unverarbeitet. text=Error #2032: Stream-Fehler. URL: file:///C|/DOKUME%7E1/cpe/LOKALE%7E1/Temp/cp4Temp/%7ECa292/config.xml
at test_xml()
This is somewhat spectacular, since I didn't thought that captivate could top the main bug of not providing right-click opportunities on local machines without setting a trusted path (this file goes to customers...).
Whatever: I would be very thankful if someone would provide me with a solution for this bug, since I'm running towards a deadline and captivate confuses me with ridicoulous errors on problems that I would have never imagined of.Hi again
All of it boils down to security. Thanks hackers! NOT!!!
Basically, if you will be deploying on CD-ROM, you need to trick Flash into thinking it is running from a server. This is easily overcome by using a freeware application called Server2Go.
Additionally, you need to ensure that the latest patch has been applied to Captivate, as it resolves some linking issues.
The process below should work to install Server2Go on CD-ROM
Download the Server2Go software from http://www.server2go-web.de/download/download.html
Choose the Micro package
This should result in receiving a zip file named distribute_apache1.3_micro.zip
Unzip the contents of the zip file to the root of your hard drive ( C:\ )
This should create a folder named distribute_apache1.3_micro
Open this folder and delete the following files and folders inside:
Files:
splash.bmp
logo.ico
readme.txt
Folders:
dlls
dbdir
cgi-bin
Open the htdocs folder and delete all files and folders inside.
Copy all of your Captivate output files to the htdocs folder
Rename the HTML page Captivate created to index.htm
Copy the contents of the distribute_apache1.3_micro folder to the CD-ROM and test!
Hopefully this helps! Rick

Does Captivate work with Tin Can API? Yes it does!
Hi guys,
I don't know if you've been following the progress of Project Tin Can and the Tin Can API, but if not you can find out more here:
http://scorm.com/tincan/
You may be thinking - that's great but Captivate doesn't publish for Tin Can.
Well, I'm here to tell you about a litle project that aims to allow you to take Captivate swfs and drop them into a Tin Can package that will communicate with the LRS. I've so far developed a proof of concept - a Captivate swf that reports to a TIn Can LRS and also successfully bookmarks. Its far from being a finished product and there's a lot of stuff like hard coded variables and missing functionality, but the basics are there.
You can download the proof of concept here: http://tin-can-can.googlecode.com/files/poc.zip
The project is called Tin-can-Can and is hosted at http://tin-can-can.googlecode.com
I need your help to get it finished and make it awesome - whatever your skillset.
It would be great ot have help with developing the javascript, but if you can't do Javascript I'd love you to get invovled too.
I also need people who can test the wrapper, help to build the documentation wiki, design a logo, manage the code responsitory, publicise the project, give and collect feedback from users, make/organise/implement suggestions etc. etc.
If you'd like to be involved, visit the project site for my email address and send me a mail explaining what you can and would like to do.
Feel free to shoot me any questions about the project. Send any questions about Tin Can API generically to the guys at http://scorm.com/tincan/
@garemokoHi folks,My host are still being rubbish so I've re-written the site in static HTML, moved it across to Github and re-pointed the DNS. All the good content is not available again, but in a nicer and mobile friendlier format. http://www.tincanapi.co.uk
The downside is that all of the urls have changed for the individual pages so any existing links to specific pages will get a lovely custom 404 error and need to be changed to point to the new location.

Hi chip,
I'm having massive problems with my host (123reg) these last 2 days and being at work, haven't had time to sort it. The site will be back up over the weekend, even if I have to change host.
The code is still up on github at https://github.com/garemoko
I'll probably move the whole site across to Github pages this weekend

I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
Hi, thanks for reading!
I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
I have a problem where I need to use a corporate designed
.swf in a digital signage solution, but have been told by the legal
department that it can not be modified in any way, I also can't
have the source file yada yada. I pulled the .swfs from their
website and I decompiled them to see what I was up against.
The main swf that I need to control is HCIC.swf and the
problem is it starts w/ a preloader, which after loading stops on a
frame that requires user input (button press) on a play button,
before the movie will proceed and play through.
What I have done so far is to create a container swf,
HCIC_container.swf that will act as Target for the HCIC.swf, and
allow me to send actionscript to the file I'm not allowed to
modify.
I managed to get that done with the help of someone on
another forum. It was my hope that the following script would just
start HCIC.swf at a frame past the preloader and play button, and
just play through.
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container",
getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("MCIC.swf", container);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
mc.gotoAndPlay(14);
But unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Because there
is a media-controller.swf, that is being loaded by HCIC.swf that
has the controls including the play button to start HCIC.swf.
Here's a link to a .zip file with all 3 .swf files, and all 3
.fla files.
http://www.axiscc.com/temp/HCIC.zip
What I need to do is automatically start the HCIC.swf file
bypassing the pre-loader and play button without editing it or the
media-controller.swf in anyway. So all the scripting needs to be
done in HCIC_container.swf.
I know this is confusing, and its difficult to explain, but
if you look at the files it should make sense.
ActionScripting is far from my strong point, so I'm
definitely over my head here.
Thanks for your help.Got my solution on another forum.

Captivate integration with Edge Animate or Photoshop
Hello everyone,
I’m an Adobe CC premium member and I’m interesting to buy Adobe Captivate but I'm not sure it can be really what I need.
How can I customize the graphical interface of the Adobe Captivate slides with others Adobe softwares?
I mean, can I integrate this software with adobe Edge Animate for example? In particular within Javascript and jQuery code snippets I would know.
Thanks in advance for your help>> I didnt understand this. <<
i'm not surprised. i'm so far down the learning curve i don't know what question to ask.
i am willing to invest time and energy to learn Animate or DW. i have never used either and it sounds like Animate might be simpler for my simple task. what i meant by that question relates to what is the output of Animate or DW? i know how to upload "images" to a web site (jpg, TIF, GIF). is the output of animate an "image" or is it some code snippet i have to learn how to integrate into the webite i want to publish to?
did that make sense? -
Have you used Captivate 4 with SAP?
I have tried using older versions of Captivate to create SAP demonstrations and simulations, and wasn't particularly pleased with the output. My employer is happy for me to upgrade to Captivate 4. Before I do, can anyone share their experience of using Captivate 4 with SAP?
Thanks, KristinaWasaHi there
I have no clue what SAP actually is. So I'm going to ask that you clarify your request a smidge.
I'm wondering if you are asking if Captivate coexists with SAP so you may record what goes on with SAP?
Or is SAP a delivery mechanism similar to or possibly even a Learning Management System (LMS) and you are asking if Captivate content is easily delivered by and communicates nicely with this system.
Cheers... Rick

When publishing a captivate I get the message "Swf compilation failed. Note: Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name." and it won't allow me to publish the Captivate, can anyone help?
Hi There,
Can you tell me the Operating System and Captivate version you are using?
Also can you confirm if you are getting this issue will this one project or all the projects? Try to copy paste this project on a new blank project and then try to publish.

Is Adobe captivate compatible with skillsoft?
Adobe captivate compatible with Skillsoft
Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Are you talking about Skillport LMs which is a part of Skillsoft? It has not been tested but Adobe Captivate works with any Learning Management System (LMS) that is SCORM (1.2 or 2004) and AICC compliant.
Please find the list of tested LMS with Adobe Captivate.

Controlling a Resover with NI Motion
Hello,
I have an application that requires the rotation of brushless servo motors. However the motors have resolvers instead of encoders. I was reading that NI Motion is not intended to work with resolvers. I am wondering if there is a way around this so I can use these motors with NI Motion Controllers.
Thanks... WadeWade,
in most cases BLDC motors and their feedback signals are connected to a power drive, that does the commutation. Many of these 3rd party drives export an emulated quadrature encoder signal and they accept an external voltage as a torque or velocity command signal. This is a typical usecase where NI 73xx motion control boards act as postion control devices, while the lower level control loop is run by the drive.
There are many vendors on the market that provide drives with such features (e. g. Danaher (Servostar drives), SEW, Maxon,...).
Does this answer your question?
Kind regards,
Jochen Klier
