Captivate 5.5 output to iPad

I am using Captivate 5.5 and have created an eLearning module. I would like to know if there is an easy way to get the output file to play on an iPad. I have looked at the videos explaining how to get a developer account with Apple and convert the .xml file using code and then signing it and getting it into the iTunes store however, that seems very tedious and I am looking for a quick way to do this!
I do have a second laptop which has the trial version of Captivate 6 on it. I am wondering if there are step by step instructions on preparing the output file as iPad ready? It is my understanding that if the file is outputted as HTML5 then it should play on an iPad? Is this correct? Are there additional steps? Anyone who may be able to assist with finding these instructions please post them here, thanks!

HTML 5 output is new to Captivate 6 and it isn't perfect (yet). This is partly because HTML 5 is not yet a perfect replacement for Flash.
>It is my understanding that if the file is outputted as HTML5 then it should play on an iPad?
Yes, that should be the case with Captivate 6.
You really need to experiment with your particular content, some functions do not work but the HTML 5 tracker (Project/HTML 5 tracker) will tell you what will work/not work.

  • Simultaneous audio output from Ipad and bluetooth ?

    Is it possible to have simultaneous audio output from IPAD and a bluetooth speaker? At present I can only get audio from the Bluetooth Speaker and nothing from the IPAD's audio out! My purpose is that my Mom will hold the IPAD to listen to her Audiobooks but my Dad who sits across the room and is hard of hearing needs a speaker close to him, so I need simultaneous audio from both devices.

    Use this: http://smile.amazon.com/KOKKIA-A10m-MULTI-STREAM-Transmitter-concurrently/dp/B00 69G1SIC/ref=smi_www_rco2_go_smi_1968491462?_encoding=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*= 0&pf_rd_p=1968491462&pf_rd_s=smile-campaign&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0069G1SIC&pf_rd _m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1N57Q0YT9QW7Y1K596YD and use two Bluetooth speakers for them. The speaker output on the iPad is pretty limited and your mother will probably have a hard time hearing it. Get a BT speaker for both and the above device and they both can listen from whatever location they want (within 40 feet) and get better sound.

  • Trouble viewing Captivate 8 published output.

    Trouble viewing Captivate 8 published output.  I created a course for a client who also wants a video of it.  I published and I can see it on my end, but when I send them the files using DropBox, they can't open the .SWF, the Chrome.HTML, or the AVI or MP4's I've put out there.  At first I thought it was operator error, but there are 5 people who can't view them.  Was I supposed to add other supporting docs that were not in the Published folder?
    Help, please.
    Teresa

    That's what I thought too.  I wonder if they are trying to run it right out of Dropbox.  I also told them they could right click and open in Internet Explorer if Chrome was problematic. 
    So I only have to provide the packaged file right?  I've always just delivered the published folder, so I was really at a loss as to why they can't run it.  Could this also be a Systems Security issue?  Perhaps their employer blocks this sort of action?
    Thanks so much for your input.  I really appreciate the help (and validation).

  • RE: captivate flash video output may not be proper

    flash video cannot be loaded. the output may not be proper
    What does this mean? I am inserting .flv files so why do I
    get this message when I try to publish captivate projects? What can
    I do about it?

    I stumbled across a solution to this in a moment of desperation. If you put the video file back into Adobe media encoder and convert it to an FLV (even if the file is already an FLV), then it seems to sort itself out.
    When you insert a video file, like an mp4, captivate automatically configures it as an FLV so my assumption is that the "not proper" error happens because of something (bad magic, maybe) during this process. Since discovering this I always encode videos as FLVs in Adobe Media encoder before inserting them into the captivate file. Not had a problem like this since (touch wood).

  • Video output via composite cable & video output on iPad screen

    Is it possible to have the video play on the iPad simultaneously as it outputs to composite cable? Whenever I play a video with the composite cable plugged in, the iPad displays a screen shot of a random video (same screen shot every single time). It's a complete mystery to me. Any ideas?

    It sounds normal to me. The composite and AVGA out on the iPad do not mirror the the iPad's display as you found out. However, there may be some apps that will show video on both screens.

  • Apple tv output to iPad/iPhone/iPod/Mac

    One can stream the display of iPad/iPhone/iPod to TV using Airplay/appletv.
    Is it possible to stream the output of apple tv to iPad/iPhone/iPod/Mac using Airplay?
    Thanks,
    BC

    I wouldn't get too worried about standby, just set it to sleep in Settings after a certain period.
    Mine seems to sleep when I change TV input or power down the TV anyway.
    It is actually quite a low power device being about a 6W rating - I appreciate every little helps with energy saving though.
    I assume it is the black AppleTv 2 or 3?

  • Output from iPad to Samsung TV is magenta

    After upgrading my iPad to IOS7 the output through hdmi to my Samsung Tv is Magenta. If I display a picture it has a magenta border where it previously was black and has a magenta hue over the entire screen. This is consistent with all apps. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

    If your going to play real time games your best bet is to use the HDMI adaptor. Due to the lag or rather delay with the response time of Apple TV or any other wireless method. Other then that you should be able to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to pull up your settings. Tap on Apple TV then chose mirroring. The icon only appears if the Apple TV box is ready and able to connect.

  • Game output from iPad 2 to HDTV

    Can I output any Game app from my iPad 2 to my HDTV or just specially designed games?

    If you have the adapter then yes, but non-iPad games don't tend to look good on an iPad let alone an HDTV

  • Issue with TOC overlaying MP4 embedded video in Firefox (Captivate 7 HTML5 output)

    Only in Firefox, I am coming across an issue when I have a video embedded on a slide, the overlaying Table of Contents displays but is not clickable. This is both when the video is paused and playing. The TOC comes over the embedded video area on the slide. I have considered it is possibly a z-index issue with Firefox, but really need a workaround.

  • Captivate 5 zip output in Blackboard Vista not running swf

    After loading a Captivate 5-generated zipped file, uploading it to Blackboard Vista, browsing to files (while in COURSE CONTENT screen), selecting the .htm files, and attempting to preview it, this error is generated:  blackboard.purdue.edu : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555
    Other info:  the Adobe loading icon appears and runs to approx 71% then disappears, leaving a blank screen.  Inquiry into the console errors shows the above error.
    This entire process was run prior to Christmas to upload a number of other files, all prepared in the same fashion, uploaded and linked in the same manner.  All of these output zipped files were generated as Flash10.
    The process today has been attempted as both Flash10 and 9.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Here is some information about this error message:

    What you may be looking at here is not the fault of Captivate but a need for someone in your IT department to update their server software.

  • Captivate MP4 format output

    Hi,
    I have generated the *.mp4 format output by using captivate 6.0. However, the output quality of the video is not satisfactory. The texts used in the demo are blurred and the image clarity is also not as expected.
    Can someone please help me out in generating a high quality video output.
    Thanks,
    Panendra

    OK.  Well that rules out one of the main reasons people see degradation in output quality,..resizing the content.
    My only other suggestion is that you may need to play around with the publishing settings in Captivate to see if changing something there will improve the quality.

  • UrlParam problem with Captivate 7 Flash output

    Has anyone else had trouble with urlParam in Flash output for Captivate 7?  I can't grab the first variable.  It works fine with HTML5 output.  Here is the script:
    var objCP
    if (typeof window.cp==='undefined') {
    var objCp=document.getElementById('Captivate');
    if(objCp && objCp.cpEIGetValue){
      isHTML5 = false;
    else {
    if(cp.vm && cp.vm.getVariableValue){
      isHTML5 = true;
    var oURL = window.location.href.toString();
    var URLparams = new Array();
    if (oURL.indexOf("?") > 0){
    //var split up by
    var sValues = oURL.split("?");
    var aValues = sValues[1].split("&");
    for (i=0;i<aValues.length;i++){
      //split by = sign
    var sEquals = aValues[i].split("=");
    URLparams[sEquals[0]]=sEquals[1];
    setValue('checksum', URLparams);
    setValue('csid', URLparams);
    setValue('id', URLparams);
    function setValue(id, URLParams){
    if(isHTML5){
      if(typeof window[id] === 'undefined'){
       cp.vm.setVariableValue(id, URLparams[id]);
      } else {
       window[id] =URLparams[id];
      } else {
      objCP.cpEISetValue(id, URLparams[id]);
    function getURLvalue(id, myarray){
    for(var i=0; i<myarray.length;i++){
      if(myarray[i][0] == id) return myarray[i][1];
    return false;

    The script is on the entry of the first slide to set the variables as the slide show begins.  I did publish to both swf and html5.  I'm using the index.html page for the html5 and the other htm page that contains the flash object. I have a php script that detects mobile devices to determine which content is displayed using iframes.  I'm not sure what the multiscreen.html page is... ok I just read about the multiscreen and it looks like that page doesn't detect all devices correctly so I'm better off with the php script that I'm using.  I'm adding the variable string to each url on the index page and also the htm page for embedded flash content.

  • Using Apple Digital AV Adapter and sound output for iPad 1

    Hi all!
    I'm trying to hook up my iPad 1 and iPhone 4 to a projector through HDMI that has very weak speakers. My solution is to hook up the video through HDMI and use my headphone jack or use my device speakers for sound. At first I thought it'd be okay because people on this forum say the headphone jack will still work, but no one that posted these question have an iPad 1, they all had the 2nd gen. Does anyone know if it also works with iPad1 and iPhone 4? i know mirroring won't work on my devices, i'm just looking to use AirVideo and Plex to run my videos.
    Thanks in advance!

    What apps are you try to dsicplay via TV out? On the iPod TV out only dispays with apps that support TV out. The Video app is one of them.

  • Exit button not working in Captivate 7 published output

    Hi. I am using Capivate v7 and am experiecing this problem with published output:
    I am using an Exit button that runs the standard javascript code
         javascript:window.close()
    so that the user can exit the presentation. The button works fine when I test out the presentation using Internet Explorer 8, but when I generate an output and try running the .swf file, the button does not work.
    How do I get an Exit button to work for the .swf output?
    Thanks,
    - Michael Fekete

    Yes, the close X does work 100% of the time. That's because the browser itself is just a window in the operating system. And you are commanding the window to close.
    And you might find yourself asking why that would work while the Exit button fails. And it would be that it's a security issue. Security prevents the window from closing because if a web site was nefarious, it could actually trap you by making changes and quickly closing the window and preventing you from browsing elsewhere.
    It's simple to turn off the Exit button. Just click Project > Skin Editor and clear the Close checkbox.
    Cheers... Rick
