Captivate 4 Slidelet Issue

I am creating a Captivate 4 training presentation and I use rollover slidelets on the main menu. There are four classes and each one is represented by an image that is 60% transparent. The 4 hotspots for the 4 rollovers are placed above these four images. When the rollover appears it grays out a portion of the screen, lists the subjects within that class, and has some images.
Here is were my problem is: I placed into the slidlelet the main menu image that they are scrolling over, except with no transparency. That way it becomes fully visable when they scroll over the image. So an image that is in the slidlelet is in the same location as the slidelet hotspot.
It worked great when I was creating in AS2 but some flash components force me to use AS3. So when I rebuilt it using AS3 they dont work. Actually one does work but when I copy and paste it...it doesn't. It only doesn't work where an image from the slidelet overlaps where the hotspot it at.
The wierd part is when I scroll over the hotspot, the cursor flashes quickly between cursor and the hand image, and the slidelet appears and disappears in a split-second, nonstop,  until I scroll off it.. I have adjusted the durations but it doesn't change a thing.
I really hope there is something simple that I am overlooking..

I solved it. It appears that you need to click on the bounding box for the images in the slidelet and then right click and send back in the order. Then the hotspot will be above the images of the slidelets. Then you have images appear in the area of of hotspot without obstructing the hotspot.

  • Captivate 6 rendering issues when publishing flash only

    Hello,
    I wanted to ask if anybody else is experiencing the same issue as I am experiencing when I publish my captivate 6 projects:
    Issue:
    Project consists of 46 slides.  No advanced actions.  Multiple rollover images and text captions are on several slides. software capture
    When publishing to a USB or my desktop then previewing I get rendering issues and these vary from parts of the software that I am capturing not appearing at all to my master slide templates disappearing.  Whenever this happens I try publishing to flash 10 and ctick the force republish of all slides - sometimes this fixes the problem sometimes it does not.  So I try publishing to flash 9 force republish of all slides sometimes this fixes the problem sometimes it does not.  It is just so hit and miss I have to publish 4 to 5 times before I finally am successful.  So of course this is extremely frustrating when I have to make changes to the project and republish.
    Also notice that viewing in web browser has the same issue.
    Think I am going to have to go back to captivate 5.5, which is such a shame as I really love some of the new features in 6.
    Does anybody have any ideas as to why this may be happening?
    I have attached two screen dumps - one where the screen is rendered poorly and the other where I have crossed all of my fingers and toes and republished and the screen has been rendered correctly:
    Thanks
    Ali

    Hello Sankaram,
    I am experiencing the same problem as Ali, where my master slide randomly disappears in my published project. I tried the options you listed above. I also deselected "Use Master Slide Background" and "Project Background" on each slide.
    Also, I have a button on each slide (next button to move through the slides) and sometimes disappears as well. However, I can still click in that region where it should be visible, and it will progress to the next slide.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jackie

  • Adobe Captivate 4 Typing Issue

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue related to typing in Captive 4 Training and Assessment files. After publishing the files, if I try to enter something in text entry fields, the files hang if I press the keys softly. Until and unless, I type the words tightly, Captivate does not accept the typed words. Because of this, the files hang at numerous places. I have tried to alter the typing settings, e, nothing works. If anyone has faced this problem or knows the solution to it, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Rohan

    Hi there
    Are you referring to the intensity with which you strike the keys? That would seem really odd. Keyboards are just mechanical devices that generate codes when pressed. Unless you have some odd keyboard that is pressure sensitive.
    Have you tried typing into perhaps Windows Notepad and do you note the same behavior there?
    Cheers... Rick

    Hi there,
    In order to nail down the actual root cause of the issue, we would require the installation log files. You can find them at: <root>:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers.
    Please send us the appropriate log files. You can zip the .log file in a folder -> upload on acrobat.com ( its free) and then share the link with us.

  • Adobe Captivate 5- Color Issues (excel 2007)

    Please help me!
    I am using Adobe Captivate 5 and am recording 2007 excel.  When I have completed the movements, the images and background appear to be fine.
    As soon as I preview or publish the colours of the cells and objects (e.g. highlight box) get mixed up:
    Either the colors start moving into different areas, or dissapear or randomly move as the screen moves (This image was taken when the screen wasn't moving).  Is this a software bug? Anyone had the same issue? Any way to resolve this?
    I appreciate the help!

    Hello,
    Could you check the video quality of the slides? You find this in the Properties panel of the slide, region General. Perhaps it is set to 'Low, 8-bit. Try to change to one of the other settings. On the Captivate blog you'll find a great explanation about this Video Quality. Have a look at:

  • Adobe Captivate 5 - Recording Issues

    I have recently put together a 15 question quiz using Captivate 5 and am having issues with what it records at the back end. I have checked the forum and can find an answer to my question however this was posted back in 2010 and I didn;t even have Captivate installed at that point so don't think this is the issue. I have checked my quiz preferences a number of times to ensure that I have them set correctly and I can;t see anything wrong with them at all however, the course still reports a score out of 150 points, so for example, on my forst attempt I answered 8 out of 15 questions correct and the final page of the quiz told me I had scored 53% yet a score of 80 points was sent back to the learning system. Can anyone please help?

    Hello and welcome,
    I have no longer 5 on my machine (only 5.5, 6.1 and 7.0.1) but did you check the Advanced Interaction panel (F9)? It will show you all scored objects and the maximum possible score. Maybe you have scored objects as well as question slides.
    Some LMS's don't accept scores above 100. Can you either ty to lower the score per question (10 to 5) and/or send percentage instead of total score? 80/150 is 53%, so the score sent is consistent with the values of the quizzing system variables you are seeing on the score slide. Maybe just confusion between % and points?

  • Captivate 6.0 - issue with using audio files as voicover

    We are using Adobe Captivate 6.0. We are using imported audio files as the voicover for the slides. While plyaing the final published exe, it runs normal. However, if I use the slidebar at the bottom of the slide for moving back and forth, the audio goes away while the slide continues to play. Can anyone please advise as to why this could be happening and how to resolve the issue? Appreciate any urgent help on this.

    Hello there,
    Have you inserted the audio on the slides or on the objects?
    Can you increase the slide quality to 24-bit (slide properties), then republish the project and see whether that helps?
    Thanks.

  • Does anyone still discuss Captivate Version 1 issues?

    I attempt to insert .swf video files as animation directly into a slide, and although I can see and hear the video perfectly in the Properties Window, when I click Apply, the video is inserted into the slide with a still image of the video clearly visible, and then the sound repeats, without being able to stop it short of deleting the object from the slide. Clicking directly on the image in the slide does not play the video, and the sound just keeps looping.
    I have also attempted to insert the original .avi file and let Captivate convert it on the fly, with the same results as above.
    These are fairly brief video clips (anywhere from 25 to 45 seconds), and can range in size from 4 to 8Mb.
    I use the AVS File Converter to get my .swf files from .avi files.
    Thanks for any information that may be available.

    Welcome to Discussions!
    You probably need to reinstall or update your USB drivers. Please see the following:

    I, for one, haven't upgraded from v.7. Don't see the need......

  • Captivate 7 - Bookmarking issues with Cornerstone LMS on IPAD

    Hello,
    I am looking for some assistance with Captivate 7 (currently using version 7.0.0.118) with the Cornerstone LMS and bookmarking when using an IPAD.  We have no issues with content launching, bookmarking, and sending completions on Windows based opeating systems, but on IPAD's, with the latest version of the IPAD OS and Safari, we have no issues with launching the content and it will send back a completion, but the content will not bookmark.
    Cornerstone is stating that the Safari browser on the iPad is not properly implementing the onbeforeunload trigger, which is primarily used in courses to force a save of the course data. This event is not triggered within the iPad version of Safari, preventing courses from saving themselves when the course is closed.  We currently have our customers closing the web browser in order to exit the course on the IPAD.  We are not experiencing this issue with the HTML5 courses that were exported with Captivate 6.
    Thank you,
    Karl

    Clare,
    If you want a continuous movie (since it is simply a demo) you can use the HD Video Demo. But editing and synchronizing will be much more a pain.
    Captivate's power is just in the creation of those static slides, but I would never record narration at the same time. I create the VO after having created the simulation, that is much easier just because the slides are static. I have been choosing Captivate just for that reason, but of course it is up to you. Want to have just demo: use HD Video Demo or choose Camtasia. But you'll never have the interactivity power that has Captivate. For trainees and students, interactive simulations are much more engaging, but that is your choice. And even a 200 slides movie has only 6000 frames, and will have a much smaller filesize than a video that explains the same.

  • Captivate 6 Video Issue: "The flash video can not be loaded. The input may not be proper"

    I've already published this particular project with multiple videos embedded with no problems in Captivate 6. I had to change one video and went to re-publish the project. Upon completing the publish, I receive an error message on EACH slide that has embedded video:
    "The Flash Video Can Not Be Loaded. The Input May Not Be Proper"
    There wasn't any issues with the project until changing the one video that needed to swapped out. I also tried publishing this in Captivate 8 to the same results.
    Specs:
    Windows 7 Pro
    Captivate Version 6.1.1.240
    Intel Core i5 25-20 CPU @ 2.5 Ghz
    4 GB RAM
    32-Bit Operating System
    If anyone knows why this issue has presented itself and how we can get around it, much would be appreciated!

    Hi there,
    Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
    I am a little confused here. Are you getting this error while inserting a FLV video through Insert option or inserting a video through Video > Insert Slide Video or inserting a new slide?
    Re-linking means reinserting the video file. If you have already tried reinserting the video file, then have you tried inserting a different video?
    Also what operating system you have on your system?
    Thanks!

  • Captivate 8 resolution issues - devil in the details

    I want to get good resolution with imported power point, and also video demo screen capture. My priority is on the video demo, because I am capturing a fairly busy screen with much text and graphics, and the __ text may be rather small ___ . The issue is that with any scaling, even 10 %, some fonts will appear off and chopped.  My target resolution is 1024x768( I defined this at project creation). when i captured, i had captivate size my window to the red 1024x768 box. But the resolution is NOT as good as I expected. I wonder - does the button window (stop, skip, etc.) that gets added at the bottom of the window  screen things up ? In other words, if the vertical resolution including these buttons is 768, then the content window may be something closer to 700. This would explain the odd effects. Adobe must have this all figured out already in best practices. need to have the captured video look the same as the original- there is no technical reason why this is not possible.
    thank you!

    Thanks for the thoughtful suggestion. I carried out an experiment using your method, and I didn;t see too much difference in the captured video quality for the text. It might be better, its not obvious to me. master project is 1024x768.  I made the video capture project 1600x1200 to match my 2nd screen monitor resolution.  I see there is some odd behavior with the red rectangle that appears for capture; this seems to be a bug for 2 screen operation. In any case, I ignored the 'snap to application' so it didn't matter.
    I also see that the effects are really in a few categories: scaling, image compression, and dynamic range. I have left the compression options at default, but i experiemented with 32 bits instead of 16 bits. This gives marginally better text contrast and clearer icons.
    Since capturing a screen session with text and icons is not an unusaly requirement, it would be great if there are guidelines for 1:1 scaling. They must exist, but in the meantime I'll keep experimenting. Next I'll have to try some more detailed graphical items, and also manual zoom and pan.

  • Captivate 1.0 issues

    I'm having a lot of issues with Captivate.
    1.The first, most annoying one is that I have to set the
    affinity every time I open the program or it will crash when
    recording audio. Is this fixed yet??
    2. The output option for MS Word worksheets does not work.
    WHY??
    3. When in menubuilder, it will not let me add a click box.
    If gives me an error message.
    I'm hoping there is a fix for this. I'm not willing to pay
    for an upgrade to 2.0 when it should have been stable to begin
    with. I expected a more stable program from adobe..:(

    Hi wxciinc
    I'd like to preface what I'm about to say with the fact that
    I am not an Adobe employee, so I have no real stake in trying to
    convince you one way or the other whether to upgrade or not.
    Sorry, but more information is needed here. For starters, you
    mention version 1.0? If you truly mean version 1.0, you should be
    aware that after version 1.0, version 1.01 was released. This
    version fixed a few bugs. So to begin with, you might want to
    consider upgrading to version 1.01. No guarantee that it will
    resolve what you are seeing, but it's worth a shot.
    I'm not sure about anyone else, but You are totally losing me
    with your mention of "setting affinity" every time you open the
    program. What is meant by "setting affinity"? This almost sounds
    like you are dealing with some sort of software monitoring
    application or other security related application. And if this is
    the case, it would be no surprise to me that Captivate could be
    having issues.
    You said: "The output option for MS Word worksheets does not
    work". Maybe I'm being overly literal here, but your mention of
    "worksheet" seems more related to Microsoft Excel than Word. Is
    that what you meant? (Excel creates worksheets, while Word creates
    documents) Also, what do you mean by it "does not work"? Are you
    saying you see nothing? Word doesn't open? Word opens but tosses up
    an error message? Word opens and shows you the document, but it
    doesn't contain what you wanted or expected?
    You said that MenuBuilder gives you an error message if you
    try to add a click box. What exactly does the message say?
    Your mention of instability could be related to too many
    factors to list them all. From my perspective, Captivate 1 was
    always more than stable.
    Sincerely... Rick

  • Captivate 5 freezing issue when trying to add closed captions to video

    Hi There --
    I'm trying to add closed captions to a video (.f4v) I inserted as "Slide Video" on a slide in an Adobe Captivate 5 presentation.  I click on the video to select it, go to the properties panel, select "edit video timing" and then click on the closed captions panel to try and add captions and then Captivate completely freezes and locks up so not only can I not add captions to the video, but I have to use Windows task manager to shut it down.
    I've seen this process demonstrated in a Lynda.com tutorial, and the instructor didn't seem to have this issue with Captivate 5.
    Any thoughts?  Have other users found a work around at all?  I mean, I know I could strip the audio from the video, and then attach it to the slide and do closed captions that way, but it would be way easier (and make a lot more sense) to add it directly to the video, especially since that's what you are supposed to be able to do.
    I'm using Captivate 5 on Windows 7.  I also have Captivate 5 on a personal Macintosh and haven't tried yet to see if the issue occurs on that platform as well.  Has anyone else run into this issue?  Sorry for the length -- this is my first forum posting, so I'm trying to provide as much info as possible.

    Hi Dan,
    Welcome to Adobe Captivate Forums.
    You can try to add the closed captions to Video after deleting the preferences.
    Follow these steps to delete the preferences
    1.  Close Captivate if its launched already
    2. Navigate to C:\Users\<userName>\AppData\Local\Adobe
    3. Locate a folder named "Captivate 5"
    4. Delete the folder
    5. Now Launch Captivate and try your workflow
    Let us know if this solved the issue .

  • Captivate and Chrome issues

    I'd like to return to the discussion about problems with Google Chrome. My Captivate 7 eLearning starts to play (from Adobe Connect) and then virtually closes itself out and disappears during the second screen. Is there particular issues with Captivate and Google Chrome? My co-workers also cannot run Captivate eLearning on Chrome, while things are fine on Firefox or Safari. Is this a general issue with others, and if so, what can be done about it?

    Perhaps it's some setting that needs to be clicked? Everyone on my team has problems with the eLearning playing in Google Chrome, while Firefox and Safari are no problem at all. The file literally closed on it's own for me. Poof! Gone! While playing in Google Chrome.
    I am using version 7.0.1.237. This is not a new problem for us. Google Chrome has always been problematic. I should also say that it makes no difference if the eLearning is being viewed on a Mac or on a PC. As long as it's playing in Google Chrome, it either won't play for long or it just stalls out.
    Thank you for your help.
