Captivate 5 SWF Flickering

I'm trying to convert some project from Captivate 4 to Captivate 5 and I noticed this error occuring, specifically in IE.
When playing a captivate project from an LMS (Moodle and Others) on Microsoft XP in IE (v6 and v7...haven't tried ie8 because our clients can't/wont upgrade) the captivate swf will flicker to white. We haven't experienced this problem before. Don't know why it's a problem now but here's how we noticed it.
We got a call from our client saying that this flickering was occuring when they played the project in their lms. When the screen would flicker to white (during a slide and between slides) all the button controls didn't show up. The only way to see the project again was to press a button (play, pause, skip, back, etc.) on the playbar. But this only brought back the project until it would disappear again a few moments later. Additionally, the videos included in the project stopped playing.
We asked what version of flash player their running. I was thinking maybe it's out of date. They were running 10.0.32.18. So I uninstalled my version and installed this old version from the Adobe archives. I saw exactly the problem they saw. So I updated the player to the most current 10.1.82.76. This didn't solve the problem though. Their flickering is still present. I realized that my version of IE was version 6, so I updated to 7, but the problem still is present. The flickering doesn't show up in Firefox on XP or any browser on OS X.
Anyone know what could be causing this problem or how to resolve it?

From Ashish:
Hi Kate,
I had a look at the project you sent me. You can try the following approaches to solve the problem.
Option 1:
Open the Project and invoke the preferences dialog (Edit >> Preferences) Navigate to Project >> Publish Settings.
Under "Action Script" version change the version from "AS2" to "AS3". Click OK and close the dialog Publish the project.
Result : You will not see the flickering.
Option 2:
Open the Project and for all the click boxes change the "On Success" event of the click box from "Continue" to "Go to next slide". (Click Box properties dialog can be invoked by double clicking on the click box on stage or by double clicking on the click box entry in timeline. ) Publish the project after changing the "On Success" action for all the click boxes.
Result : Flickering will be removed.
Reason for this Flickering:
In your projects as you can notice most of the Click boxes were having a pause time equal to the slide end time. So when the "On Success" action of the click box is set to continue, on clicking the click box the project would continue till the last frame of the slide and execute the "On Slide Exit" action of the Slide which is "Go to next slide". Hence few frames were getting missed and hence the flicker effect.
I tried upgrading the project to Captivate 5 and without any further editing the flicker issue is resolved.
Please try out the options mentioned and let me know if the same is resolved. For your reference I have attached your project with the option 2 in force.

Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

Hi,
I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
Thanks,
Jaimie

Hi there
When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
Then note the version number.
You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.

Detect end of captivate swf

I am loading a swf that I created in captivate into another
flash file. I would like to be able to detect when tha captivate
swf is at the end. Is there a way in flash to detect when a
captivate swf is at the end?

Hi Jencarter,
another possbility could be to embed a small swf-animation
into the captivate-movie that calls a function in the root, in this
case the flash-file which loads the captivate-movie.
We had the same problem, in the flash-file a function
"chapterend" should be called as soon the captivate-swf is at the
end.
So I've build a small swf which just calles the actionscript:
_root.chapterend();
This swf can be imported into the last slide of the
captivate-movie (or on any other position, if you need it).
Best regards

Controlling Embedded Captivate SWFs

Hi:
I have a SWF (SWF A) that I'm loading into a movieclip
(Movieclip C)which is part of another SWF (SWF B). Basically, SWF B
functions as a player, with play and pause controls. These controls
control Movieclip C where the external SWF A is loaded into.
Normally, I have had no problem with this and it always
works. At run time, when you click the pause button on SWF B, a
stop() command is issued to Movieclip C, which stops the play of
the external movieclip (SWF A) loaded into it.
However, I did a screen capture with Captivate and published
it as a SWF. I loaded this SWF (SWF A) into Movieclip C in SWF B at
run time. However, clicking the controls on SWF I created has NO
EFFECT on the SWF I created in Captivate. It just keeps playing.
I guess all SWFs are NOT created equal. How can I make this
work?
By the way, I do not want to use the embedded controls that
come with Captivate.

I'll bet it does have an effect, but you just don't see the
effect
you're expecting.

A SWF is a SWF is a SWF. They are all created equal, from a
certain
point of view. Flash Paper SWFs are just SWFs, at bottom,
even though they
have additional functionality. Captivate SWFs are also just
SWFs -- which
means they must adhere to the MovieClip class, all of whose
methods,
properties, and events are listed in the "MovieClip class"
entry of the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference.
It may be that Captivate nests its SWFs, so that you need to
adjust your
target when telling a given movie clip container what to do.
Would you show
the exact ActionScript you're using?

Connect Sync not working with Captivate SWF files

HI
I'm creating material for presentations and discussion in Captivate 8 and using Connect 9.3.
The Sync button in Connect doesn't turn on or off the sync view for all participants for a presentation sharing the Captivate SWF file....
Any ideas on how to get the sync feature working?
PS: I'm using Captivate to create the slides and publish to SWF in order to preserve the fonts for the brand. Uploading Powerpoint changes the fonts to system defaults (looks very bad) and PDF, provides a clunky or abrupt slide transitions (using captivate fade transitions). Would prefer a better solution to maintain fonts and transitions though.
Cheers,
Fred

Going to give a try...
I did try saving each slide as an image from ppt, then created a new slide deck with one image per slide - added transitions and uploaded to Connect. That seemed to work.... yet, really would like to sort out Captivate as I plan on adding quizzes and other items best done with Captivate.
Cheers,
Fred

Is there a way to remove captivate swf click listeners?

Hi, this is my first time posting. After a lot of searching and no answers I figure maybe someone here knows.
Short background: I have a captivate Sim that is being loaded into a sim viewer of a courseware. The sim viewer has it's own directional pointers, feedback boxes, and instructional boxes. To get all of this working correctly has been difficult, and I'm using AS3, Captivate 4, Flash CS4, and export for Flash Player 10 for the unloadAndStop() command to clean it up when no longer needed.
My question: is it possible to directly remove the event listener that captivate is using to listen for mouse clicks? (and add it back when needed)
I have the correct/incorrect calling a Javascript. On incorrect, it is set to one attempt, but the javascript tells it to:
loaderPath.content.rdcmndPause = 1;
loaderPath.content.rdcmndGotoSlide = loaderPath.content.rdinfoCurrentSlide;
loaderPath.content.rdcmndResume = 1;
so, it does not really go anywhere when they get it wrong (kind of a rig for unlimited attempts with incorrect callback)
The sim I'm using requires that it can be "paused" in essence, with an opaque layer over it. The problem is that it STILL gets the mouse clicks even through this layer. I managed to create a conditional rig to fix that (a Boolean that when set to false, does not evaluate the javascript calls i get for correct and incorrect clicks). but I still have a problem where when the Sim is active, there is a drag and drop instructions box, and when it's released, it evaluates incorrect.
so, I'm sorry if that is confusing, but I'm basically wondering if there is a way to block captivate from getting the mouse click on an evaluation slide when you don't want it to?

That would not really solve my issue at all. I need it to not register a click for correct OR incorrect at a certain point in time (when they are dragging an information window and they drop it).
Say that I have a screen with a large click box on it, that is correct, and the rest of the screen is incorrect. If they just happen to drag and drop the information window over part of the correct box I obviously do not want it registering as the correct answer. I need a way to block all mouse click and release information from communicating with the Captivate .swf (but also the ability to turn it back on).

Why do scaled and masked captivate swfs respond to clicks outside the mask? Can it be stopped?

We load Captivate 3 SWFs at runtime into our own course player, with movieclip.loadmovie. Our player is built with AS2 and published to Flash 8. We publish our Captivate movies to the same specs. Our latest challenge requires scaling and masking the Captivate SWF.
A click outside the masked Captivate still triggers a click as far as Captivate is concerned, and it throws up a “that’s incorrect” message. Specifically, it only happens when you click in a spot that has masked Captivate “behind” it. In other words, if there would be Captivate there if the mask was turned off, Captivate will respond even when the mask is turned on.
Is there a way to make Captivate ignore mouse clicks outside of the mask? I think it must be responding to Mouse.onMouseDown() since normally a masked object won’t respond to clicks outside the mask.
I’ve put together a small test file to demonstrate exactly what’s happening, and I’ve posted it here: http://www.tbgprod.com/_experiments/captivatemasktest/captivatemasktest.swf
I’ve also uploaded the .fla file. It’s ony 50kb and it’s available here: http://www.tbgprod.com/_experiments/captivatemasktest/MaskTest01.fla
You’ll also need the Captivate .swf file if you want to test locally. Here’s the direct link. Right-click and save target as: http://www.tbgprod.com/_experiments/captivatemasktest/DisplayProperties.swf
My question is "how do I make Captivate ignore clicks outside the mask?"
Many thanks,
Todd S

Even if anyone just has any knowledge of how Captivate 3 movies actually monitor the mouse, I'd be happy to hear it. In other words, can anyone confirm my hunch? If we knew the internal structure of the Captivate SWF would it be possible to clear and restore some function as the mouse moves inside or outside of the target area? Something like this:
on mousemove {
     if mouse has crossed boundary to the outside {
          functionBuffer = container.whatever.whatever.function;
          container.whatever.whatever.function = null;
     else if mouse has cross boundary to the inside {
          container.whatever.whatever.function = functionBuffer;
This would kill Captivate's mouse functions and then bring them back to life, as the mouse exits and re-enters the masked Captivate area. Two questions:
1. If we knew the necessary whatever.whatever.function information, would this work?
2. Does anybody know the necessary whatever.whatever.function information?

Captivate SWF Quality Poor in Presenter 7.0

Hi,
My company recently purchased Presenter 6 to run on
PowerPoint 2003, which was great - we were able to produce some
really high quality content by incorporating screenshots, clip-art,
Flash animations and Captivate movies.
Then the dreaded upgrades began. We move to PowerPoint 2007
and were forced to upgrade to Presenter 7.0, which at the time
didn't seem like a big deal. However, since upgrading I've noticed
that graphics and in particular Captivate SWFs displayed in the
Presenter output are of a pretty low quality. I've set the image
setting to High in Presenter but it makes no difference.
I'm pretty sure it's not Captivate because the SWF output
looks perfectly good if played on its own directly in a web
browser.
Has anybody out there noticed this with Presenter 7 and if
so, have you got any idea why it happens and what I can do to fix
it?
Thanks,
Alex Samson

There is no reason that Captivate swf that played fine on
Presenter6/PowerPoint2003 should show up in degraded quality in
Presenter7/PowerPoint2007.
The image quality settings won't change anything in the
Captivate swf.
My best guess would be that the Captivate swf contains some
screenshots and the size of the flash object inserted into the
slide is not letting flash player draw the image properly.
Try adjusting the size of the flash object that gets inserted
into the slide to be same as how it appeared in
P6/Office2003.

Executing actionscript at the start of a Captivate swf

Hello,
I'd like to run the stopAllSounds actionscript function when my swf is loaded. Is there a way to do this with advanced actions, or some other method?
Thanks!

Thanks, but I don't think that will work. The problem I am trying to workaround is that when a user leaves the page that contains a Captivate swf
with audio, the audio continues to play. So when the user lands on another page that contains another swf with audio, you end up with multiple narrations talking at the same time. I want to do something to stop any currently playing audio before starting the audio from another swf. Ideally, I'd like to be able to stop all sounds when the user navigates away from the page that runs the swf. But I can't figure out a way to do that.
This cpCmndMute sounds like it does the same thing as pressing the mute button--but I need the sound file itself to be stopped.
Thanks!

How to create a flash menu that links to specific slides with in a Captivate swf

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could step by step explain how to
create a menu in flash that links to specific slides with in a

command. I can't seem to get it to work.

Hi!
I would like to create a DVD menu that offers two languages. So the first page gives two options: Language 1 and Language 2. Then depending on which language you choose, you go to a menu that proposes different videos and a photo slideshow.
Regardless on which language button you click on initially, you get the same content but in different languages.
I've been looking at Premiere's templates, which I can certainly customize, but I really don't see how to create the double menu. Does anybody have an idea?
Put the video with the first language on the timeline followed by the video with the second language. Use chapter markers so you can have each video as a chapter in the menu.
I use Premiere Pro, so I can't give more specific directions. Perhaps somebody like ATR will chime in.
Also, I have another question: can I put videos from different projects in the same DVD with Premiere or must all of the videos that go into the DVD be in the same project?
Thank you very much!!!

They must be in the same project.

Controlling an AS3 Captivate swf from Flex -- set quiz preferences

Hi All,
I'm able to use the SWFLoader to load the a Captivate.swf, and play it using the nextSlide, previousSlide etc. However I am being blocked by the quizzes.
I have access to all the rd* and cp* symbols. I would like to navigate through all the slides, but if I have a quiz, I am blocked from 'rdcmndNextSlide' or setting 'rdcmndGotoSlide' past the quiz. Does anyone know if this can be done? Please help!

DaddyDog,
Have you checked your Quiz Settings in preferences for your Cp4 project? There are two options to allow backward movement and to allow reviewing of the quiz. You may want to try adjusting these.
When you say you've been successful using the "nextSlide, previousSlide etc.", do you mean the buttons on the Cp playbar?
One trick that has helped me greatly is obtaining and modifying the movie xml. The movie xml is generated at runtime and defines the slides, slide objects, quiz settings, quiz slides... etc. You may want to examine this to see if you can manipulate it to your advantage. Here's how I can reference it from an AS3 Cp4 widget:
var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
var movXML:XML = new XML(mainmov.movieXML);
Not sure how you have your Flex app loading the captivate swf, but I'm sure you could figure out how to reference the movieXML from another parent in your app.

Captivate 6 Flickering

Hi all,
I use swf files as graphics in my courses because it displays as vector instead of pixels. This way, when courses are stretched to full screen, the quality does not deteriorate and the edges are sharp. Another reason for this is because I can create any animation in Flash whether to transition into or out.
Connecting the swf files on the timeline to have a continuous sequence of animations worked perfectly in Captivate 5. However, in Captivate 6, the entire course flickers as if someone is taking a snapshot of the screen during any file or slide transition. For example, I place a 3 second swf file and connect a 4 second swf file to display a 7 second swf on the timeline. When published, the course flickers when it transitions from the 3 second swf to the 4 second swf.
In addition, if the slide after include the same or simliar swfs, it flickers AGAIN during the transition to the next slide. So, the flickering appears during a slide between swfs, and also flickers after each slide. Any way to fix this flickering nightmare?
Here is a sample file that clearly demonstrates the problem:
http://artisture.com/digital/CP/CP6flicker.zip
By the way, I was informed that our wonderful team at Adobe already knew of this problem but they hope to have it fixed for the next version (Captivate 8). So if you bought a car with engine problems and the dealer tells you they hope to have it fixed for next year's model, good luck!

You are correct that this is a known issue. There was a fundamental change to the way objects are added to the timeline that came in with Cp6. The result is that objects such as your SWF animations are only loaded at the time they are added to the timeline, and this causes the slide flickering you witness. There's not really a lot you can do to get rid of it other than rebuilding all of your animations to be a single animation that once loaded will continue unabated until finished.

Detail Region as TOC for captivate (.swf) files

Hi All,
Not sure how to explain this, but i will do my best. I didnt like the TOC/Aggregator for CP 5. Thinking maybe to use Spry data using the Detail Region sample. I thought it would be simple to just combine the Detail Region code with the publsihed .swf and .htm code. But not sure what im doing wrong or if this is even possible to do. I was experimenting just using the exact same code and xml for Detail Region sample and modifying it a bit. See below...
Appreciate the Help! Thank you.

Problem accessing variables in loaded Captivate swfs when run locally

I'm loading Captivate 3 swfs into a custom Flash player. Here
is pseudocode that just gets to the point:
var cp1_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("cp1_mc",
1);
cp1_mc.loadMovie("captivate1.swf");
[wait for (cp1_mc.rdcmndGotoSlide != undefined) via
setInterval]
// ***** cp1_mc.rdcmndGotoSlide is FOUND
var cp2_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("cp2_mc",
2);
cp2_mc.loadMovie("captivate2.swf");
[wait for (cp2_mc.rdcmndGotoSlide != undefined) via
setInterval]
// ***** cp2_mc.rdcmndGotoSlide REMAINS UNDEFINED
INDEFINITELY
The thing is, this problem does not happen when testing the
movie in Flash, nor does it happen when the player.swf is run on a
server. It happens when the player.swf is playing locally in an
html page.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what's going on? My best
guess is that it has something to do with Flash Player Security,
because it only happens locally in a browser, but I just don't get
what's happening.

Turns out it was a Flash Player security issue and I had to
set security settings to "always trust" for my local
directory.

Print button - captivate swf within falsh swf

Hi I have a nice problem and I hope someone might have an
answer for me.
I am making an interactive tool book. The design,
backgrounds, button etc are all in flash. I have also done a quiz
in captivate which has a bank of 50 questions but only 20 random
ones appear each time you do the quiz.
As you cannot import a random quiz captivate file into flash
I have made a movie clip titled container that the captivate quiz
swf. file loads into. This all works without a problem. However I
have to make a print button also in flash so the user can print
their result page (the result page is apart of the captivate file).
I have tried every print Action script I can think of;
however, none of them print the results. The page prints with all
the flash created objects (background, buttons etc) but it will not
print the end results page that appears in the movie clip titled:
container, which is located in the middle of the flash stage.
Although if I click print in the flash player file menu it
does......
Can anyone help me or have I confused you all??

Markus,
I use "this." in the Actionscript, but I don't think that's the problem. In the attached file you'll see my problem.
