Captivate 5.5 customize Certificate Widget on flash

hello all, I have a little problem with the certificate Widget, when I try to personalize it with logo and company colors, I do all this in flash and insert it into captivate 5.5 but when I put it to work it does not add the name of the course and student name, this widget is from the captivate gallery, that could be doing wrong? I appreciate your help thank you all

Here's a better example of the project and how it's breaking.
As you can see, I just have three slides, with a button to continue to the next slide, but functionality breaks over the whole project because the Certificate Widget is in the project. Also, notice that I don't have the rounded corners on my project.
Seriously, does anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue?

  • Customize certificate widget

    Hi,
    I just complete e-learning project, and I would like to customize the certificate widget within my images design.
    Is there way to do this?
    Is that with Flash, Adobe Photoshop, or other?
    Please, is there some tips for customize and design certificate widget .
    I know there is an option to select NEW widget in Flash, but is there more details?
    Thanks

    Hi there
    I'm guessing you are wanting someone to provide a detailed step-by-step of how to customize the widget in Flash?
    If so, that's a pretty tall order. Flash is a pretty complex application. I guess that's why Captivate is so popular.
    If you aren't familiar with Flash, I might suggest you take a class on it to become familiar. Or possibly hire someone like Michael to make the changes for you.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Adobe Captivate 7: How to Customize Certificate Widget

    I can only add (1) additional variable option in a certificate widget text fields.  How can I add more variables on the certificate?  I need these variables to print out on the certificate when the learner selects the print button.  Is it possible to add a company logo onto the certificate that will print also. 

    Not all video files are created equal.  Captivate has in the past shown a preference for certain encoding in FLVs and F4V video files.  It's recommended that any video you want to use with Captivate be encoded via the Adobe Media Encoder app that comes with Captivate.
    Even the fact that your FLV was encoded with some other Adobe app, does not guarantee it will work with Captivate. (Don't get me started on that.)  So try re-encoding your FLV with AME and then see if that improves your chances of embedding the link.

  • Certificate Widget and Random Question Slides

    I am in the process of evaluating Captivate 4. Twice now I have had an issue with using the random question slides with the certificate widget. In both cases I converted a Captivate 3 course in which the random question slides and corollary question pools had worked as they should. In both, I successfully added the certificate widget to the new course (Captivate 4) following the instructions in help.
    In the first course, only one question pool would work. The others simply showed up as a blank slide. I was able to fix that by merging all the questions into the one working question pool. Wasn't the way I had wanted to randomize the questions, but it allowed me to publish the course. The certificate widget did work.
    In the second course, none of the questions pools are working and the published version of the course skips right past the random questions that had been interspersed after each topic area. One again, this course had worked just fine in Captivate 3 and with Captivate 4, without the certificate widget. I do not wish to combine all the questions into one question pool. As I noted, I published the course without the widget and the questions worked just fine.
    This leads me to believe that I am doing (or not doing) something when I include the widget that is causing the problem. I can't imagine what that would be, but the fact that no one else seems to have posted this issue makes me think it is something I'm doing.
    I am not using an LMS. I'm publishing to .html file that resides on our LAN.
    I hope someone can help!
    Thanks!

    Hi Peter,
    A number of users (myself included) have encountered issues with the random question slide feature - some of which is due to browser cacheing. If you can spare the time please use the web address I have included below to report this issue to the Adobe Captivate team.

  • Edit Captivate Widget in Flash tutorial

    I'm fairly familiar with Captivate, but just getting started with Flash CS4. Does anyone know of any tutorials or simple explanations about how to edit a Captivate 4 widget in Flash CS4? I'd like to start with editing the Certificate widget.

  • Captivate Certificate Widget - Printing Problems.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem? It's not a problem in Captivate, per say, but it's Captivate related.
    First some vital facts:
    OS: Mac OS X 10.6.4
    Captivate 5
    Flash: CS4
    Flash Player: 10.1.53.64
    Browser: Firefox
    I have a customized Captivate Certificate Widget (AS3) from Captivate 4 that works perfectly. When one clicks the "Print Button", the print dialog box comes up and when one checks the print preview option, one sees the certificate ready to be sent to the printer.
    Fantastic. Now I want to save this Flash file as a new file and I want to change a textbox on the certificate that is no connected to the ActionScript at all. When I publish this new file, the Print button no longer works. Can anyone explain this?
    I have, in fact taken a look at the new Captivate 5 Certificate Widget. I published it out and it's print button doesn't work either! I took both my swfs into XP and opened them and they both worked fine in Firefox and IE.
    After further examining both Flash files for the CP4 Certificate Widget and the CP5 Certificate Widget, I keep noticing that an error is traced to the output window when publishing the files. The error appears after pressing the Print button and then canceling the print. The error that I'm getting is:
    TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
       at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
       at CertificateWidget_fla::MainTimeline/ClickPrint()
    I've managed to point the problem to line 207: this.removeChild(sheets);
    Is this causing the problem?
    If anyone could help, that would be great. I don't want to tell my client that the certificate that was working, now doesn't work for no apparent reason.

    I use Cap 4 for testing. You put a name field in the first slide, then the certificate widget will fill in the name, date, and score.  You get a print or e-mail field at the bottom of the certificate.
    I used Internet sources to find out how to do some things, but the Adobe free online webinars taught me most of it.

  • Captivate 5 Certificate Widget Breaks Project in IE

    We have a Captivate 5 (CP5) project with a few slides and at the end we've added the CP5 Certificate widget. When we publish out the course, and upload it into an LMS and play back the course, it works fine in all browsers except Internet Explorer (IE). The SCO has major playback issues when viewed in IE6, IE7, and IE8.
    We've tried removing the CP5 Certificate Widget and replacing it with the CP5 Certificate widget (ActionScript 3.0 version) and the same problem keeps occuring in IE.
    Here's what happens when the Certificate Widget is in the project. The course plays but there is a constant flickering that occurs for the entire duration of the project. Our project displays momentarily, but is then interrupted by a clicking noise and a blank screen. Sometimes the blank screen is a white block. Other times its a gray block with the top two corners rounded. Sometimes it doesn't even revert to our screen.
    ANY and ALL insight into what could be causing this is helpful! We've submitted multiple bug reports to Adobe but have yet to hear a response. We don't know if its a CP5 issue, a IE Flash-Player issue, a Widget Issue or something else.
    Here's a video of what is happening:
    Here's a ScreenShot: The gray box with rounded corners is not in our project.

    Here's a better example of the project and how it's breaking.

  • Change AS3 for Captivate Certificate Widget

    I need help in what actions to add to the Captivate 4 Certificate widget.
    I used Flash a couple of years ago, and have lost my touch. I am not sure what actions to add to captrue a click box score.
    Currently Captivate 4 was designed to only calculate scores from question slides for a percentage in the certificate. I create a lot of performance based tests and need to provide a certificate at the end of each test. I was told by a Captivate expert that it would have to be done in Flash.
    Can anyone help in how to create a widget with these parameters added?
    Thank you,

  • Help with Widget in Flash for Captivate 7

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the Widget in Flash function in Captivate 7, but I keep getting an invalid argument error when the .jsfl script tries to run in Flash Pro CC.  The line in question is line 8 - fl.getDocumentDOM().exportPublishProfile('file:///profile.xml');.  Can anyone suggest a solution or work around?
    I've been looking forward to trying my hand at creating widgets, but it is an inauspicious start.

  • Widgets in Flash from Adobe Captivate 5

    I have Adobe Captivate5 and Web Premium CS5.  In captivate, when I try to insert a question widget (File, New Project, Widget in Flash, Question) it opens Flash CS5 professional and I get the following error code in the OUTPUT section (in Flash):
    The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
    At line 39 of file "data-16401608588.jsfl":
    importPublishProfile: Argument number 1 is invalid.
    I am unable to do anything with the widgets in Flash......
    Has anyone had this problem?  How could it be resolved so I can create a question widget using Captivate/Flash?

    This appears to be an issue with Windows 7 if you don't run captivate in administrative mode.  It works once I restarted the program in administrator mode.

  • How do i remove the authorized signature from a certificate widget on captivate 8?

    Does anyone know how to remove the authorized signature from a certificate widget on captivate 8?
    or
    How to build my own widget to include quiz results/score and print widget?

    Strange workaround, but just checked it and it works (even for responsive project): you can drag the Signature, I dragged it as far out as possible (to the bottom) and when previewing the Certificate it was gone.
    Do you need a widget? It is not that easy if you need it both for SWF and HTML output because I'm aware at this moment of only very few widgets available on the market. You can create a slide with all you need, using the quizzing system variables and a button with a JS to print?
    Maybe some inspiration here: Intermediate Score Slides - Captivate blog

  • Making Certificate widget Captivate 7 work

    It is probably a very simple question, but I am lost. How will I make Certificate widget work in Captivate 7 ?
    I have inserted the widget into last screen of my file, after quiz and quiz results. How will I make it "pick up" quiz score and grade? Can I delete grade?
    Thank you

    HI,
    The Certificate format is editable and so you can delete or add text in it. In the Widget Properties, double click on the Certificate and it becomes editable.
    The score obtained in the Quiz is automatically picked up by the widget and gets populated in corresponding section of certificate. 'Score' in Edit Variables should be ON. (Refer screenshot below)
    The username is taken from LMS. If you want to give your own username, a user-defined variable solves this problem.
    Click on the Edit Variables in Widget Properties
    Mark Name as OFF
    Mark Other as ON and give any user-defined variable name
    Create the user-defined variable with the same name in Captivate and give the name that should appear in certificate in Value field
    Let me know if you find any other difficulty in using the widget.
    Regards,
    Salini

  • Certificate widget and SCORM reporting in Captivate 5

    I have been trying to make the Moodle (1.9) Gradebook accurately report SCORM 1.2 results with no success. In desperation I have redesigned the project using a certificate widget, but I can't get that to work either! Please can someone direct me to a working fix? I have tried the fix mentioned by Xeon64 here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3867196#3867196 but when I try to use the widget I get an 'invalid widget' error message. I'd prefer not to have to rebuild the entire project a third time in Captivate 4, which seemed to work ok for me.
    A working solution will earn you eternal gratitude from a desperate ID!
    J

    To be quite honest, I've never taken to using the Certificate widget.  I've seen so many complaints about it on the forums that I've deliberately avoided it.
    On the last project I worked on, the client wanted a certificate that was populated with the user's name, employee id, site location, and course completion status.    But they specifically wanted to prevent one user from just altering the data and printing out certificates for other users.  So they also didn't want the user  And the client also wanted an email to be automatically sent with all the same data to their training department so that personnel records could be updated at the same time. But they wanted to have this email sent automatically without user intervention to prevent similar falsification of course completion.
    The current certificate widget wasn't able to give me all these fields and email functionaltiy.  So I ended up cobbling together my own solution using a widget from Jim Leichliter that allowed me to output User Variables as query strings on a URL so that I could pass data from the course to a PHP page on my website that first sent an email to training and then redirected to another HTM page with the Certificate and it's fields containing the user's completion data.
    Jim also has another widget that creates a PDF export page that can also serve as a course completion certificate.  If I were you, I'd be looking into that widget to see if it would do what you want.

  • Captivate 4 quiz not scoring correctly on certificate widget

    Hi, this is my first post, so I hope I get it right. I am fairly new to Captivate. I have created a quiz that is being scored at the end of a tutorial which includes an interactive training exercise.  The quiz has 5 questions and the student is able to retake the quiz indefinitely until he/she passes.  The problem is when they use the Retake Quiz option.  Although the score slide indicates that they have failed, the certificate is adding the scores of both failed quizzes. So, if someone takes the quiz and gets a 40%, retakes it and gets another 40%, the score report indicates a failing grade, but the certificate is adding it up to 80% and passing them.  Any help anyone can give would be appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Mary

    This sounds like a bug in the certificate widget.
    Do you have the slide set up to ONLY branch to the certificate AFTER the user has successfully passed the course, or does the user see the certificate each time they do the quiz?

  • Captivate 7 Certificate Widget

    I was wondering if someone could help me. We have created tutorials inside captivate that produce completion certificates. I really need for students to be able to save the certificate to their computer where they can email it to their instructors. I know of one widget out there that allows you to save to PDF. However, I was wondering if there might be another work around within Captivate or a free version available. Might there be a widget that allows you to safe a slide image? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I don't think you will find anything free that will allow you to save an image or a PDF from Captivate. The only other alternative is probably to instruct the student to do a "Print Screen" and then paste this into a Word document or an email but that will most likely end up in chaos, so you are better off getting the widget
