Captivate 5 - links are working locally but not working on server - urgent please

Hi, I'd really appreciate your quick help !
I have created a landing page in captivate 5 which has links to the different lessons - also done in captivate. all exported as swf and html.
I've used 'Open URL or file' and chose 'new' to open them in a new window, and unchecked the checkbox that says 'continue playing the project'.
on my computer after publishing, the project works just fine. when i've uploaded it to my server, the external links to the different lessons are not working.
PLEASE urgen assistant - is very much appreciated.
my files are btw in dropbox, if one of u has a moment to look at it.
Thanks!

Rick, I have a weird problem now.
my files sometimes load and sometimes don't!
when I place the url on the current webpage (where the index is) - the files load.
when i click them from the index file, a new window opens up but the files don't load.
this behavior is not consistent. a few hours ago it did work.
any ideas???

Flash Remoting Works Locally But Not On The Server

Hello,
I have a flash file that connects to an asp.net page. The
aspx page queries a databse and returns a set of records to flash.
Flash reads in those records and processes those records. Locally,
this works fine. However, on the server, nothing happends. I spoke
with tech support at hosting company and they tell me everything is
installed for Flash Remoting.
Here is the code thats on the server:
import mx.remoting.NetServices;
import mx.remoting.NetDebug;
mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug.initialize();
//CONSTRUCTOR
var inited:Boolean = false;
if(!inited){
inited = true;
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("
http://63.134.251.243/gateway.aspx");
var gatewayConn
bject = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
gatewayConn.setDebugID( "Gateway Connection" );
var SQLQueryToolService
bject = gatewayConn.getService("matthewlemke", this
function SQLQueryToolAction(){
SQLQueryToolService.test("SELECT * FROM flashImages");
function test_Result(result){
trace(result);
_root.abc.text = result.toString();
SQLQueryToolAction();
Here is the code locally:
import mx.remoting.NetServices;
import mx.remoting.NetDebug;
mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug.initialize();
//CONSTRUCTOR
var inited:Boolean = false;
if(!inited){
inited = true;
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("
http://localhost/matt/gateway.aspx");
var gatewayConn
bject = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
gatewayConn.setDebugID( "Gateway Connection" );
var SQLQueryToolService
bject = gatewayConn.getService("matt", this );
function SQLQueryToolAction(){
SQLQueryToolService.test("SELECT * FROM flashImages");
function test_Result(result){
trace(result);
_root.abc.text = result.toString();
SQLQueryToolAction();
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vic

I am having the exact same problem. My remoting application
works fine on my laptop as long
as the url for the gateway reads
http://localhost/remotingData/gateway.aspx,
but if I change
it to the name of my machine and attempt to run the swf I
keep getting a NetConnection.call.badversion error in the
netconnection debugger. If I attempt to connect through IE it just
sits with no reply.
Is there some kind of permission thing going on here?

C# Script to copy an Excel File working locally but not on the server when I schedule a job

So I have these couple C# commands to copy an Excel File which works fine and dandy on my local client when I test and run this SSIS Package but when I tried scheduling the job on the server, it failed.
These are the couple C# commands...
// This Opens the Source .xlsx File from Emdeon ePaySmart
Workbook workbook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(StringSourceFile, XlUpdateLinks.xlUpdateLinksNever, true, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This will Save the Source .xlsx Emdeon ePaySmart File as a .xls File...note xlFileFormat.xlExcel5
workbook.SaveAs(StringDestinationFile, XlFileFormat.xlExcel8, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
Is this because I'm using xlFileFormat.xlExcel8 and locally it is running fine but when I schedule via SQL Server Management Studio as a SQL Server Agent Job it seems to be failing??
I sure hope I don't have to change this so it will run as a SQL Server Agent Job and/or run this locally every blessed week.
Can someone clear this up for me and provide a potential solution?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

That is Excel automation, which requires Excel to be installed on the computer where the code runs, and is not supported on a server without an interactive user logged in.

IWeb snippets working locally but not working when uploaded to ISP

I am using iWeb 3.0.2. When I add an HTML snippet to a page to add an item to a shopping cart [ADD TO CART], then publish and view site, the snippet works perfectly.
However when I upload the page to the ISP, the snippet is not displayed even though I can see all the necessary 'widget1_markup.html' present in the page source, and when I browse for that widget URL it is present.
Is something missing from the ISP to process this type of facility, or is it something else.
Your suggestions gratefully received.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. 3What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? While this is just a guess without looking at your site I'd say that not all of the files in your site's Scripts folder are getting uploaded to the server.
How are you uploading the files? With iWeb's FTP client or a 3rd party client? If it's iWeb's client, publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and use the free Cyberduck client to upload the files.

Flash site works locally but not online (uploaded to server)

We have bought a flash portfolio template and have customized it with our pictures, video, etc.
When we test it locally on our computer (using different web browsers) it all works perfectly well. We have uploaded the finished website to our server and when you go to the address online, it doesn't work (a loader progress shows but it is stopped and nothing happens).
We have however uploaded the original template we bought and it works perfectly online.
The template consists of and index.html, various .swf, and various .xml that we have modified according to the template instructions (it also contains a java script folder we haven't touched).
What is it wrong with our modified template - it works locally without problem…!
Thanks for your help

When a Flash file works locally but not on-line, it's almost always a pathing issue (provided you did upload ALL files and do not have something missing... as suggested by Ned).
A "pathing issue" results when the main .swf cannot find one or more of the associated Flash files...like an xml file or images.
It can be something as simple as using switching file names to all lower case. Local machine is not case sensative... most servers are. So "My Photo.JPG" is not the same as "my_photo.jpg". When naming files, best to use all lower case, no spaces in any file or folder names... use_underscore_instead.
But the most common cause is that those associated files (xml, images, etc.) are not pathed relative to the Web page where the main .swf is embedded. Pathing to the .xml and image files should be as though the .swf was located in the same folder as the Web page... NOT the actual location of the .swf file.
And that includes paths to the xml file and paths to image files coded into those xml files. Everything need to be coded relative to the Web page.

cffeed caching works locally but not on server

So I got my new Hostek account set up (woohoo!) and I've started uploading some basic files so I can do thinks like validate my code and make sure everything's working. One thing that does not work (but does locally) is my news feed caching.
Pulling in two RSS feeds was seriously slowing down my index page loading, so I stole a trick from Ray Camden on caching the feeds. It works perfectly on my dev machine at home, but doesn't work on my hosted account.
Here's the exact code being used:
<cfset feedurl = "http://velonews.competitor.com/feed">
<cfset cacheTime = #createtimespan(1,0,0,0)#>
<cfif not structKeyExists(application,"rsscache") or dateDiff("n", application.rsscache.created, now()) gt cacheTime>
    <cffeed source="#feedurl#" query="entries">
    <cfset application.rsscache = structNew()>
    <cfset application.rsscache.data = entries>
    <cfset application.rsscache.created = now()>
</cfif>
<ul>
<cfloop query="#application.rsscache.data#" startrow="1" endrow="6">
<cfoutput><li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</ul>
I tried wrapping a try/catch around the top section (above the <ul>) and still got nothing for an error message. The page just stops being rendered at that first <ul>.
I'm not sure why it works locally but not on the web server. Any ideas?

Miraculously, I got it working.
I changed this:
<cfloop query="#application.rsscache.data#" startrow="1" endrow="6">
<cfoutput><li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
To this:
<cfoutput maxrows="6" query="application.rsscache.data">
<li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li>
</cfoutput>
And bingo! It worked. Perhaps it's an idiosyncrasy between CF9 and CF10.

What does it mean if my location services are turned on, but not working?

What does it mean if my location services are turned on, but not working? It has always worked before. It is turned on in Settings but when I try to use an app that requires location services, it says they are not on, and the little arrow is not appearing at the top of the screen.

thank you...I tried this immediately after noticing but to no avail. I thought the phone died but I kept seeing the light on so I googled some things and it says it may be watered damaged and I'm not sure how.

[AS3] EventDispatcher works locally but not remotely

Hi,
I am very new to Action Script and have the following
problem. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a small video player app. I have added the FLVPlayback
component to the stage and set some properties via action script
(AS 3)
I then instantiate a class to go and retrieve some XML,
register an eventListener to wait for the XML to be loaded and once
the event has fired, load the FLV file (just hard coded at the
moment) into the FLVPlayback object.
This works when testing in the Flash IDE but not when I
publish the movie to my webserver. I have tried commenting out the
player.load() and just adding a textfield and again this works
locally but not when I publish to the webserver. I have included
some code snippets below.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Any pointers much appreciated.
Thanks
Martin

Hi,
I found the problem if anyone has the same issue. I was
passing some FlashVars in incorrectly using the
AC_RunActiveContent.js that comes with Flash. I have switched to
swfobject and all is well.

Swf works locally, but not on server

I have an issue with an xml-driven swf file. It plays fine when I test the site locally, but not when it's uploaded to a server. Here is a link to the page. There are many posts on this and other forums describing the same problem, though I can't find the right solution. The only thing it has convinced me of, is that it is probably a pathing problem. I purchased the file online, and instead of one swf and one xml there are about ten of each to make it work. In addition to this there are about 40 .as files. (all this to make it "easier" to customize). Since I plan to use this banner rotator on multiple pages, it will be very unconvenient to upload all these files for every page I make. I checked with support for this product, and was told I could make a flash directory, only duplicating the xml-files for each new page and linking the xml back to the swf-files. Otherwise the support answer was very short and unhelpful. I have renamed every path in the xmls so that it should be right. As I said, the file works locally, so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have posted in adobe forums before, and I have alwas found helpful and kind responses.
Thank you,
Siri

They're all uploaded to the server, it is also possible for me to dowload them from there. When i run the main swf file through flash player debugger, I get this message:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:///Users/Siri/Documents/gullstolen/hjemmeside/flash/produkter/deploy/xml/abrMain.xml

So I guess it can't locate the xml folder (since it is not there), but I don't know how to change the path. I can change it in the xml, pointing to the swf, but how do I do it the other way?
This is the main xml-file:

</abrMain>
the abrMain.xml tells the swf what files it shold use, and where to find them, but where do I tell the abrMain.swf to find the xml? Maybe this is an issue for product support instead, though they only answer short and cryptic.

Facetime works local but not long distance

i have been using facetime for 2 years. Last week (soon after upgrade 8.2) my service became intermitant. it works locally, but long distances it is ringing but no one is answering...
I am using airport extreme....so not sure if its extreme or something else causing this...

chris, thanks so much but i think it has to do with port somehow.
since i am out of the us it works fine in where i am at, but trying to get to the us in just rings off the hook and no one can pickup....so it gets a notification that the call is coming through but ends at that point.....and i am just pushing voice only not video.
other people where i am at use facetime and are able to talk to people in the US...I have been doing so until 1 week ago, when i downloaded 8.2 Thanks for your reply looking forward to understanding what else i can do......
ps already installed firmware in extreme...but didn't solve the issue.

[Captivate 8] HTML5 Publishing - First Slide shows locally but not on test server

Hi all,
The Question
Has anyone run into this issue of the first slide not showing on HTML5 (and/or SWF) until you open up the TOC and select the recalcitrant slide and then it shows (and operates) just fine? Not on project load, just when it is selected.
The Description
I've only been using Captivate 8 for a short period of time, and I've run face first into a little bit of a bigger hurdle than I expected. At present, I have a simple, linear Captivate project that in essence replicates a Powerpoint (client specified). Everything was working just fine until I tried a HTML 5 Preview from Captivate 8 and first slide did not show. After some research my solutions to the problems I encountered was to:
Local preview occasionally causes a glitch. Solution: Publish locally and (pre)view the result. This didn't work.
Group all objects on the first slide and then attach the action Show to that group. This fixed the problem.
Following that I published it to a host server (test server at the moment, but ultimately it will the live dev server). I encountered the same problem, so:
Tried the group trick, above. No joy.
Opened up the TOC and navigated to the other slides. None of the buttons (previous slide, next slide) worked.
Renamed the "Mouse.mp3" to remove that annoying click. Result: All project buttons worked, but the first slide was not showing (grouped or otherwise).
Removed all master slide objects from the slide. No joy.
Removed the button (action: Next Slide) and reduced the play time of the slide to 5 seconds so that the slide would play upon loading, then just move to the next slide. No joy.
Tried all of the above with SWF and HTML 5 publication.
Tried all of the above with SWF only.
Once again, when I open up the TOC and navigate to the first slide ("Title Page") the blank slide that is populated only by the lonesome borders becomes the Title slide, as it should. Also, local preview from the file (\project\index.htm) works just fine.
Obviously I'm missing something. It's probably something incredibly obvious, so I thank you for your patience.
The Technical
Captivate 8.0.0.145
OS: Maverick OSX and Windows XP Pro SP1
Other: Adobe CS (up-to-date install)

First, apologies--I didn't see the "Getting Started" sub-community so if this thread can be moved there then thank you. Second, I missed some important details.
Project Details
Captivate 8, blank project*. Content at the moment is only text captions, media resources (pictures, two web objects [to Vimeo]), and transparent buttons. The project is stripped of the play bar as it is a self-paced lesson/module.
* I don't have the lead time to make this a responsive design, though that is the ultimate goal once the one-size-fits-all version (1024x627) has been released.
Testing Hardware Details
The following are the machines and browsers I've tested the HTML5 output on.
Mac (10.9.4) -- Chrome 36.0.1985.125 (hangs; need to open the TOC and click on "Title Page"), Firefox 30 (works fine), Safari 7.0.5 (9537.77.4) (works fine)
Windows 7 Pro SP1 -- IE 11 (works straight away! *shock*), Chrome 35.0.1916.153 m (hung, but on refresh worked fine), Firefox 31.0 (throws out unsupported error [known feature] but then loads up just fine).
Chromebook -- Chrome OS 35.0.1916.155 (worked straight off).
Smartphones -- Not supported, but iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.2) (works fine, but not designed); Galaxy S5 Chrome (broken).
Tablets -- iPad2 (iOS 7.1.2) (play button loads partial content, on refresh works fine); Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Chrome (broken), Android Browser (works fine).
I'm more than willing to share a link to the project and the Captivate 8 file, but just thought that I would see if this gets any traction/recognition before going deeper.

Why won't CSS changes save - Are Reflected Locally, but not there when uploaded.

I have recently re-installed Dreamweaver CC 2014.1.1. I am editing an existing site http://www.travelight.tv/test.html. CSS changes won't save (i.e ".righthalf" and <strong> and H3.) I finally replaced the class with a table for the sake of time. Still can't save <strong> and H3 changes. CSS Designer Panel correctly shows the H3 font and the hex color (ee5e33) - but the color palate shows black. The uploaded document reflects gray. The changes are reflected properly locally, but not when uploaded to server. The time/date stamp doesn't update, despite saving several times. What am I missing?

Sorry about that, I managed to get the test URL wrong. http://www.travelight.tv/test/index.html. I had to remove the righthalf class from the document, but the <strong> and <h3> tags are still having issues.As for the location, I am opening the one that is linked to the document from the bar at the top of the document - it is the only one named travelight.css. When I logged in this morning, I noticed that it is showing the icon as a Wordpad document even though the File Type shows it as a Cascading Style Sheet - I have tried saving it as an html file and have re-created it, but it remains a Wordpad document. Below is the a screen shot of the folder.

Flash videos showing locally, but not on my site. help please

Hi,
I converted several avi's to flash, I then inserted the FLV
file into and html file in dreamweaver.
The flash files will play locally, but not when i upload them
to web server. Check it out here please
http://kdsi.org/kds/demo.html
please check the demos above to see what i mean. I just get a
blank page.
Anyway to insert video into the page like youtube? (instead
of the "demo video" button have the video embedded and just click
play to play it. without using the popup like i did.)
thank you.
thanks

Hi,
I am sorry i did not get what you mean with the last
sentence, but generally, this may be a path problem, you need to
check your FLV path and make it meet the path on the server not the
local machine.

Hyperlink works locally but not on Intranet

Hi,
Very strange behavior since most of other hyperlinks in
separate projects only work on the Intranet, but not locally. All
setting for hyerlinks are the same since they were pulled from a
template.
Any ideas
lisa

Lisa,
Your inability to get your Captivate files working properly
from a local machine may be related to the Flash Player security
restrictions issue:
Link
to Adobe Knowledge Base Article
The article is a bit misleading as it implies that you only
need to change your settings if your Captivate file is actively
passing information to the Internet somehow, but I've found that I
pretty much always run into the security issue when previewing
files locally in the browser.
Since I tend to help out on lots of other people's projects
at work, it turns out it's easier for us as a group to simply
publish directly to an Intranet server and preview from there via
HTTP (i.e. navigating to the correct web server URL in a browser).
This allows us to not only avoid the security issues, but ensures
that we've copied all the necessary files to the server.
For my own projects, I've also specified a common "published"
folder on my local machine as "safe" in the Flash Player Settings
Manager so I can quickly test my projects using the "View Output"
button in Captivate's Publish dialog.
This last tidbit is something that people often overlook.
Unless you specify your publish location as "safe" in the Flash
Player Settings Manager,
any file you launch via the View Output button is considered
"local" and subject to the tighter security restrictions associated
with locally-accessed files.
