Captivate 5 swf repeat in publish

I have swf's in the library and then put in timeline, when publishing the swf's play twice as if there are two instances of them yet there is only one.
This happens with only one swf.  I have tried different swf's no change they are simple Flash 3.0 swf's with only a stop command at the end of a simple tween.

This issue is caused due to a change in the way that Captivate 5 plays SWF animations to what happened in Cp4.
Is the animation inside the SWF on the main timeline or buried one level down inside a Symbol?
If the latter, you'll need to move the animation up to the main timeline or else name the instance of the Symbol and use ActionScript to explicitly start the animation.

  • Unable to UnloadAndStop captivate 5 swfs

    Hi,
    I  have a flash 'menu' swf that on the click of a button loads into a loader a flash 'controller' swf. This swf in turn loads into a loader a 'captivate 5' swf. All published to fp10.
    To  exit the captivate movie the user can click on the menu button (which  resides on an area of the 'menu' swf below it), and I have coded to  UnloadAndStop and StopAllSounds of the 'controller' swf loader.
    Visibly  this works, everything goes, the loader 'unloads' and it does stop the  sound of the current captivate slide, but then audio from the captivate  movie will fire up again from the next slide and continue to play over the menu?!
    I'm pulling my hair out trying to find a fix and I wondered if anyone could help me?
    Any help would be massively appreciated,

  • Can a Flash 6 SWF (AS 1) read variables of a Captivate 4 SWF (AS 2)?

    I have a Captivate 4 CP that I published to Flash Player 9, AS 2.0 SWF ( and Flash Player 7 as well, which didn't help either). I load this SWF in a Flash wrapper SWF (published to Flash Player 6, AS 1.0) which needs to read the rdinfoCurrentFrame and rdinfoFrameCount variables in order to find out if the Captivate movie has completed. The logic works when I test this locally, but not in our test environment, probably because the two (Flash SWF and the Captivate SWF) are in two different directories. My suspicion is that it is due to cross-domain issue which comes into play only with Captivate 4 SWFs, because when I tried replacing the Captivate 4 SWF with a Captivate 2 SWF it worked. I tried displaying the value of rdInfoCurrentFrame in the Flash wrapper using a dynamic text box, and while it shows and updates the value in case of a Captivate 2 SWF, it shows a null value for Captivate 4 SWF. Is this a known issue? I'm playing the content in Flash Player v9.0.45.0.
    Also, can someone here tell me what ActionScript version does Captivate 2 publish the SWFs to?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Mohsin

    The crossdomain policy is a result of the Flash player - not Captivate. It was implemented with FP 8.0 so if you publish to that then you will have the restrictions. However, the crossdomain policy only applies to different domains - not different directories.
    Captivate 4 publishes to AS2 per default.
    The problem you have is due to the fundamental changes between CP2 and CP4. While your paths for the variables might work for CP2 they have changed for CP4.
    I can't remember exactly what they are right now and I dont have access to my files but try these paths
    movie.rdInfoCurrentFrame
    mainmov.rdInfoCurrentFrame

  • Boomark display in Captivate 6 swf

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe Captivate 6. When I published the slides in AICC in SWF version and launhed it Learning Management System. The bookmark dialog box is not getting displayed while relaunching the course.
    Can you help me to get the bookmark on relaunching the course?
    Thanks,
    Priya

    Hi Priya!
    If you are talking about the Bookmark-- Which appears on Launching your Course from Machine-- stating if you like to resume the course from where you left off, may not work there (Enabled via Selft Placed Learning).
    Though if you have the "Never Send Resume Data" Under Quiz -- Quiz preferences -- LMS Customization Settings, this should enable users to resume the course from the point where they left off , though they would not see this prompt.
    Try to check if the resume cabaility is working?
    Thanks!

  • Can't Place Captivate 6 swf or html5 File into Muse v3.2.

    Muse v3.2 won't place my Captivate 6 swf or html5 files. "Error encountered during import" error 0. Has anyone else solved this or a similar problem? What can I do? Suggestions welcome.

    I inserted the following HTML code that I gleaned from

    I also uploaded the .swf file using the "Add File" function. When I publish, I get a blank white box with no video that plays. Any suggestions? Have I named the file incorrectly in the HTML code?

  • Can't embed a Captivate video (swf) into Power Point 2007

    I am trying to embed an Adobe Captivate video (swf) into power Point 2007. I very carefully followed all the steps outlined from a search I did on the web and it is not working.
    These are the steps I followed:
    1. Create a simulation using Adobe Captivate and publish it as a SWF file.
    2. Open the PowerPoint presentation and insert a blank slide for adding simulation.
    3. We need to work with the Developer tab now. If you can't see it in the ribbon, follow these steps to make it visible.
    (steps to get developer)
    4.On the developer tab, in the Controls group, click More Controls
    5. In the list of controls, click Shockwave Flash Object and click OK.
    6. Drag diagonally to create a box in which the simulation would appear. Don't worry about sizing it accurately; you can adjust it later as well.
    7. Right click the Shockwave Flash Object, and then click Properties.
    8. On the Alphbetic tab, click the Movie property. In the value columnm type the full drive path, including the file name.
    9. Set the Playing property to true, Loop to false and Embed Movie to true.
    10. Close the Properties dialog and test the movie.
    The simulation will now play in your PowerPoint presentation.
    Note: If during the slideshow,t he simulation doesn't play automatically, right-click and select Play.
    I followed these steps, and it is just not working. I go to play my power point presentation and set it to play from the beginning, and when it gets to the slide with the swf file, I just get a faded out still picture of the video, and it will not play.  If someone has had luck with embedding swf files from Captivate into Power Point, please let me know how you did it.   Thanks.

    Thanks, I really appreciate the information. The only problem is that I have to keep it as a power point presentation.   I convert from ppt to a video, so I need to keep it as power point.
    I found these steps on the internet and followed them exactly, and went through the steps 3 times, to make sure I wasn't leaving anything out, and it just didn't work. I have a tech guy who's supposed to call me today regarding this issue, and hopefully he'll be able to go through it with me step by step to try and work it out.
    Ultimately, these are going to be training videos that are going to be set up on a website, so they ultimately have to be saved as videos. 
    I'm keep trying to figure it out though.
    Thanks.

  • I can't get a captivate 4,041kb file to publish, is it too large?

    I can't get a Captivate file 4,041kb to publish, is the file too large?

    If your publishing attempt is stalling at a given percentage, there may be something in your project which is preventing it from successfully completing.  There are a couple of possible solutions:
    1. Turn off all compression options under Preferences > Project  > SWF Quality.  Then try again.
    2. Hide slides in sections of your project and try republishing.  This process of elimination may help you to locate where the issue lies.

  • Preparing Captivate 5 SWF ready for Moodle

    Hello - I'm a bit of a noobie with all things Captivate and I was wondering someone can advise me on what I have done so far:
    I have 6 Captivate SWF exported movies, the final movie being a quiz. All the SWF's do not have reporting enabled except for the quiz.swf (SCORM 1.2).
    I have created a Captivate Aggregator SWF that bundles all the files up into a Table of Contents fashion.
    I now need to upload all the files to Moodle (in a ZIP file SCORM 1.2 compliant). This is what I plan to do:
    ZIP all the SWF's and associated .js and the XML files (generated by the Scorm compliant quiz.swf) using a SCORM packager (as Captivate 5 does not include this it seems).
    Upload to Moodle.
    Am I doing this correctly? My confusion occurs when saving out my quiz.swf as SCORM 1.2 AND the  .ZIP that holds all the files being SCORM compliant. Do they both need to be compliant or just the ZIP?
    I'm confused, please advise...
    Thanks!

    If you're going to upload a SCORM package to an LMS you DON'T use the Aggregator.  You need to use the Multi-SCO packager instead.  Having all the individual zip files in the Aggregator SCORM compliant isn't going to help you in this case.
    When working with SCOs in an LMS you have two choices:
    Package each individual lesson as a separate SCO. You don't need the Multi-SCO packager for this route. Cp itself can create a single SCO SCORM. You just upload them individually to the LMS, and set each one up as a SCORM lesson in the course.  The LMS will roll up the scores to give you a total for the course.
    Package all of the individual SCO lessons into one huge Multi-SCO SCORM package using the Multi-SCO packaging tool that comes with Cp4 or (in the case of Cp5) the ELS 2.0 suite.  You then create a course in your LMS that is ready to accept this package and upload the entire Multi-SCO SCORM.
    Your description of how you've got some lessons with scoring components and others that don't score (no reporting enabled) makes me feel that there's no point bundling all lessons into a Multi-SCO. LMSs are designed for tracking modules that either report a score (Pass/Fail) or user interaction (Complete/Incomplete). So unless you have at least turned on SCORM reporting for tracking user interaction, the non-scoring modules will pretty much be ignored by your LMS for reporting purposes.
    A Multi-SCO SCORM zip has to have a precise structure and an imsmanifest.xml file that lists all the content modules in the course.  You don't get all this just by zipping stuff up.  That's why you need the Multi-SCO packaging tool, unless you go the first route I describe above.

  • Controlling External Captivate 5 swf using flash AS3

    Hi,
    I have created a basic Flash AS3 interface in which I am trying to control the navigation (next slide / previous slide) of an external captivate 5 swf which I have added using a loader, but i cant work out the solution.
    My code is currently as follows:
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    var Xpos: Number = 96
    var Ypos: Number = 94
    var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
    my_loader.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
    my_loader.x = Xpos;
    my_loader.y = Ypos;
    addChild(my_loader);
    stop();
    nextBut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,gotonextframe);
    function gotonextframe(event:MouseEvent){
    MovieClip(my_loader.content).rdcmndNextSlide();
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    thanks

    Thats perfect, thanks for the reply, much appreciated!
    I guess you have tried:

  • Captivate 7 project fails to publish to Adobe Connect

    First of all, my network connection is fine. And I have run through a number of solutions to try to make this work but im running my head into a wall trying to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    The project is a quiz and survey with multiple choice, likert, and short answer questions with 5 .flv videos. I have a sepearte file with likert questions (I heard those a problematic) that gave me the same error when I tried to publish with captivate 6, but worked with captivate 7. So it publishes that file with likerts but not this one. The publisher gives the error whether the file has videos or not. Any ideas?

    Hi there,
    From the post, it looks like the issue is specific to a project. Is it possible for you to share the problematic project with us so that we can investigate the issue at our end? Please upload it to a shared workspace (Acrobat.com) and send me the link to [email protected]

  • Captivate 8: Slide Videos Repeat when Publishing in HTML5

    Conditions: Slide with MP4 h.264 video (no audio track) and separate audio track. Slide action on exit is to go to the next slide. Timeline is trimmed to .1 sec after end of video (Captivate doesn't allow it to be trimmed closer)
    Issue: Slide video will play through with sound, then video will repeat with no sound before advancing to the next slide
    I should note that while all of my slides are set up the same way, only certain slides have the issue. I have not been able to determine what (if any) difference there is or if it is an issue that impacts slides at random.
    This problem has been described by other users with no seeming workaround. Any solutions are greatly appreciated!

    Thanks Shriyansh. I've emailed you with a link to download the project along with the following additional details:
    Browsers I'm testing for compatability (all are up-to-date as far as I know):

    Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17358

  • Unable to preview published captivate 6 swf in flash player

    When I try to view a published preview of a Captivate 6 project, I am directed to the download Flash player page. I have the pugin installed for my browsers already. I am able to open my local .swf files with Flash Player.
    When I click Yes on  the "Publish completed successfully. Do you wish to view the output?" message I am sent here:Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions.
    How do I set Flash Player to open the preview files?

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Which browser you are using and you may try to add your projects to Flash Player Global Settings.
    If you have Flash Player version lower than 10.3, you can manipulate the settings from Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager in the Global Security Settings panel. It can be done using these simple steps:
    Select the Always allow radio button on the top to allow security exceptions. This control is marked as "1" in the image below
    From the Edit Locations... drop down box, select "Add location..." option to bring up a dialog box. The drop down box is marked as "2" in the image below
    Now select Browse for folder... and browse to the location where you are keeping the chart SWF files
    After confirming your selection you should see the path of the exception added in area "3" of the image below
    Please let me know if that works.

  • Long load time - Publishing Captivate 4 swf with audio to the web

    I created a Captivate 4 project that is 25 slides with narration on each slide.  When I publish this file to swf, it creates the .htm the .swf. and the javascript files.  The audio is making the swf file too big (12mb) to download quickly over the web.  Is there any way that I can externalize the audio or stream the audio in a similar way to an flv?

    Hi there
    When you upload things to test are you certain you are uploading the FLV? I believe Captivate simply calls these as needed and they aren't inside the resulting file.
    On the Aggregator, we need more to go on here. What you posted is a bit like visiting the doctor and just saying you don't feel well. WHERE don't you feel well? What are the symptoms?
    Are there any error messages appearing? What exactly happens on these other machines?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Difference between published Captivate 5.5 swf and Captivate 7 swf?

    I have a custom SCORM framework built in Flash that handles all of the calls to an LMS, and I simply insert published SWFs from Captivate; everything has been working great for a few years now.  The problem I am experiencing now is that content that I have published from Captivate 5.5 shows up just fine, but I upgraded to Captivate 7 and now the SWF files hang during loading, or simply show a black screen.   My client uses SumTotal LMS, so I first thought it might be an issue with the LMS, but this is the case in every single LMS I have tested in, so it is definitely some anomaly in the different versions of the published files.
    So I guess I am trying to figure out what is different between the two SWFs published in different versions?

    I don't think so that it is the soulotion for this problem , but you in publish setting/ start and end part (something like this, I don't remember the name completely ) /  you can turn off the preloader and fade in at start checkbox and turn on the autoplay.
    this can solve the problem temporary till adobe find better way for it .
