Captivate 6 Issue - Faded Objects on Slide

Hello!
I inserted a widget into a slide. When I preview the project, the whole slide is "faded". I have tried bringing the widget to the front, I have tried to send the smart shape to the back. Nothing seems to be working. Here is a screenshot:
http://ttastudents.com/Screen%20Shot%202013-11-05%20at%2010.02.56%20AM.png
Any ideas?

If this widget is an interactive widget, have you perhaps forgotten that interactive widgets have a pause point that is not shown on the timeline? Look in the Properties tab > Timing accordion to see when the widget is set to pause the timeline. The default is at 1 second into the slide. Perhaps your widget is pausing the timeline when other objects are still fading in?

Captivate Bookmarking Issue - Returns to Wrong Slide!

I have a Captivate course with over 270 slides divided into 7 sections. There are 3-4 quiz questions at the end of each section with a score page on the second last page.
when through the course and exiting, bookmarking works until you get around half way through, at which point bookmarking returns me to a slide about halfway through the course. Ive made various version trying to rectify this, and at times it was a quiz slide, other times a standard slide. I tried moving all the quiz questions to the end of the course, and bookmarking would return me to a specific quiz slide each time. This bookmarking issue would appear when I existed the course after not completing it, or completing it and failing the quiz. Has anyone experienced this or got an idea what might be causing this?

What version of SCORM are you publishing to?
The bookmarking info is held in the suspend data, along with quiz info and all variables in the project. It could be that the suspend data has reached it's limit. Or it just can't handle that many slides.
There are ways to manipulate the bookmarking in CP as I wrote in this blog:
http://www.tlcmediadesign.com/blog/2015/01/controlling-captivate-bookmarking/
This probably won't help your situation though. Depending on the SCORM version you can use the comments field to store info and use that to bookmark.
With a project of that size and depending on the info you need to tract/save, it would be best to connect a non-Captivate SCORM driver and make a SCORM calls yourself..
Or you can split the course into 7 separate SCO's to reduce the suspend data.

Captivate 7 issue for refresh the slide

have trouble refreshing slide:
The set of actions that I use work well when the course is viewed for flash output however the same when viewed on Ipad do not work and vice versa.
Would the actions to work when publishing for both .swf and html5 output.
We are using a cpCmndGoToSlide to cpInfoLastVisitedSlide which works fine with Flash based build but not in HTML version when we exported the build for both.
There are some other instance which we have found weird in Captivate7. some method that we used to assign in the action works for flash but not for html build eg. execute a javascript method, jump to the current slide. etc.
Need help with reload slide, please suggest a work around.

Set:
cpCmndPlaybarMoved to true
cpCmndGotoSlide to cpInfoCurrentSlide - 1
cpCmndResume to 1

Captivate 8 responsive designs: only one 100% width object per slide?

I've been customizing some responsive themes to use two or more 100% width objects. As I work with the project, I find that some of these objects fall short of the right edge at some break points or, more commonly, at intermediate browser widths between breakpoints. One object (a PNG used as a branded header) started slipping off to the right, leaving a big gap at the left, after I worked with the file for several hours.
I've been putting this behaviour down to file corruption, but I'm now seeing the right-side gapping even with a fresh new file built on the White theme that has only one slide with three lines of text.
Looking closer at the themes, I can see that none of them have more than a single 100% width object. Is this simply a coincidence, or does this reflect a real limitation in HTML 5 output from Captivate?
Should I adapt my themes to use other objects at sub-100% widths, where a little gap on one side or the other won't make much of a difference? In short, should I simply avoid putting more than one object per slide flush with any of the edges?

Replying to my own question ...
Has no one else seen this? Is this a known bug?

Where is the "allow objects on slide to layer with master" in Keynote 6??

Upgrading to Keynote 6 has broken my presentations. I had borders on the master slides, supposed to appear over any other content.
Now the content of the slides systematically goes over the master slide. I searched the web and found that in previous versions there was a "allow objects on slide to layer with master" option.
Where is it now?? Anyone has an idea?
Thanks

FYI, this is the error message I'm getting when opening the presentation. "Slide objects were moved in front of master objects"

Flex SDK 3.2 : Unmarshalling issue : SOAP objects are not deserialized completely

Hi everybody !
I have a strange problem with SOAP deserialization in flex 3.2, and I thought this forum will be the best place to get answers ...
When I try to fetch some objects (like the ones shown below), the XMLDecoder does not deserialize all the properties.
In this case, it stops at the property named "rating". After it, all other data are lost.
I've used the flex builder debugger to locate the problem, and this lead me to the following method in the XMLDecoder class :
getApplicableValues(parent:*, valueElements:XMLList, name:QName,context:DecodingContext, maxOccurs:uint):XMLList:
State of the variables, before the "bug" :
The strange behavior appears after the five first properties had been deserialized correctly.
At this step : startIndex = 5, and the next property to unmarshall is "user" (according to the MExpertNotes object mapping)
the valueElement's list contains the following elements :
to simplify the notation, I will write only the position in the list and the xml tag name (see the complete soap response for more details at the end of this post)
(position, fieldName)
(0, ID) -> inherited from MotocycletteObjectImpl
(1,comment)
(2, noteValidation) (a Bean, never returned by our service -> set to null)
(3,noteValidationID)
(4,rating)
(5,timeOfCreation) -> inherited from MotocycletteObjectImpl
(6,user) (a Bean, never returned by our service -> set to null)
(7,userExpert) (a Bean, never returned by our service -> set to null)
(8,userExpertID)
(9,userID)
(10,version) -> inherited from MotocycletteObjectImpl
when it enters the for loop, at the first iteration the valueElements[i].name is equals to "timeOfCreation" and the name parameter is equal to "user".
so this test : if (name == null || valueElements[i].name() == name
|| ((name.uri == "" || name.uri == null)
&& name.localName == valueElements[i].name().localName))
returns false. The skipAhead variable is set to false (and i don't understand why). It stops iterating over the valueElementList, and so, skips all other properties.
Is this a bug ? Does a workaround exists ?
This affects many of our objects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I publish a movie using Captivate 6 I sometimes get a slide that is overlayed with part of a previous slide. Does anyone know why this might be happening and what I can do to prevent it?

When I publish a movie using Captivate 6 I sometimes get a slide that is overlayed with part of a previous slide. Does anyone know why this might be happening and what I can do to prevent it?

Which version of 6? Check the slide quality, if it is at Low, push it to High or Optimized. Then uncheck all compression settings in Preferences, Project, SWF Size and Quality.

Captivate Loading Issue

Hi,
I want to implement a loading scheme, where unless and until
entire captivate file (.swf) or all the slides in the captivate
file are loaded, the skin file or the navigation elements present
on the skin should not be visible.
The problem here is, sometimes even if the captivate swf file
is not loaded completly, users are trying to keep on clicking the
play/pause/slider button. Can that be avoided.
Thanks

Open one of the preloaders in Flash and change it to 100%.
I understand that should prevent the file from appearing
until it is
fully downloaded.

Issues with getting the slide button to work after upgrade to iOS 7.02 and 7.03

Ever since upgrading to iOS 7.02 and 7.03 having issues with getting the slide button to work to open up iPad 2. Happened last week and was able to restore it to new and get it to work again and it worked great until one week later (this morning) doing the same thing. Have tried restoring iPad to new 3 times (via itunes) and still unable to get the slide button to move so can use the iPad. IPad able to charge, able to restore, able to sync with itunes even able to recover but not able to get past first screen where you have to slide to access iPad. Any help would be greatly appeciated. Live about 300 miles from nearest Apple store.

I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button.

Captivate 4 not going to designated slide

I have a prject that I created in Captivate 4 which has about 365 slides in it.
When I want to see the output during testing I can either publish it or press F12 to see what it looks like in a browser.
Either method gives me the same result a lot of time.
First the screen stays blank for a long time but when it finally loads, it's not on the slide it should be, usually the next slide.
Not sure what other info I can give you to help.
There is no Audio tracks, no naration
All slides are just shots I created and merged into the background and then added "Highlight Box"es and "Click Box"es to show where to click etc.
Please let me know if anyone can help.

I tried Daisy chaining in CP4 and this is what I got, notice the "f" that magically appeared in the project name.
The actual project I selected was d:\webmacaid\ATV2\ATV2MOV.htm.
This is a capture of the error when trying to open the project.
I've also tried selecting the actual .SWF file in CP which didn't seem to work but does seem to work in the CP5 trial.
I hate to have to upgrade just for that.
Is there a limit on the number of projects I can Daisy Chain?

Correct answer in my captivate project is repeating in all slide in reviewer box

Correct answer in my captivate project is repeating in all slide in reviewer box, what shd I do for undoing if I have to put respective correct answers in respective slides?
Thanks

Hello Kris,
Could you explain a little bit more, and tell us which version of CP you are using? P.e. are you talking about the situation when reviewing a Quiz, or are you referring to the Success caption during the quiz?

Issues with getting a slide to show in Captivate 6 that includes a video

I am hoping that someone can help me with my issue. I am currently working in Captivate 6. I have a project and I am trying to get videos to open and run. I have inserted a new content slide into my project. I then added an FLV video to that slide (this is slide 11 in my project). I have a previous slide (slide 10) that has an image and button and I have directed that button to go to slide 11 and then show the video when clicked. My issue is that when I click on the button on slide 10, it does not take me to slide 11 (the slide with the video), it just stays there on slide 10.
The other piece to the puzzle is that this project is a simulation that was recorded. So on Slide 10, I also have a click box that is suppose to take the user to slide 12, (the next step in the simulation) which it does, but then on slide 12, it opens the video from Slide 11 at the same time.
I hope this is not too confusing but I would really like some help if there is anyone that can help me.

Can you confirm if you inserted this Video on Slide 11 as Event or Multi Slide Synchronize Video? If it is Event Video, insert it as Multi Slide Video (you can set it to display on one slide only (current 11).
Also, Can you add a button to a new blank slide (put it anywhere in filmstrip) and set the action for it to jump to Video Slide?
Is this a problem with that particular button may be?
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Captivate 4: Delay in objects appearing

I have some image objects I've imported to my library and placed on slides, with options set to appear after 0.0 seconds, with no transition. However, when I run the project (as a preview or a published SWF) there is a delay of about 1 or 2 tenths of a second before the objects appear on the slide. The objects are PNG and GIF images. I tried BMP and JPG images, just to see if that made a difference, but it didn't.
This problem didn't happen in Captivate 3. Is there a setting I've missed, or something else I'm doing wrong?
-Stuart

Hello Stuart,
This seems to resolve your issue in the example: the success action on the buttons in slide 1 and slide 2 are set to 'Continue', if you change it to 'Go to next slide' the blink seems to disappear. This is consistent with the actions on success for the other slides on the click boxes, where the issue is not there. Do not ask me to explain why, but seems to work.
Hope this is also the case for you?

Captivate Quiz issue

I created a 8 question quiz in Captivate at the end of a 80
slide project. The quiz drops off elements of the quiz slide, like
the top radio button of a multiple choice question and no answers
are correct, even when you are able to answer them correctly with
the information displayed. The quiz slides do not advance properly
either. The quiz summary never appears. The rest of the project
runs fine. I can copy only the quiz into a seperate project and the
quiz will run WITHOUT an issues.

Hi mymini7 and welcome to our community
First off, I'd like to point out that I'm simply a recognized
volunteer here. I'm not an Adobe employee.
As with any software, it's not common to see limitations
listed among the "selling features". The typical run-of-the-mill
movie is said to be anywhere between 50-65 slides long. But as with
anything, this varies. Factors such as:
* Physical dimensions of the movie
* How much audio is being used
* How many objects are being used
can come into play here. I've heard of folks with 30 slide
movies that are just "too large" for things to work right. And at
the other end of the spectrum, I've heard of folks that regularly
create movies 130 slides long that play with no issues whatsoever.
Anyone encountering issues should really report them via
this
link.
Sincerely... Rick

Captivate crashing issue

My Captivate projects crash while I am working on them, giving the error message 'Adobe Captivate has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience'. I am then unable to make any further edits to the projects: anything that I try to do, for example add a caption or add a slide, causes Captivate to crash.
We have tried a number of things to resolve the issue:
All my Captivate files are stored locally, on my C drive (where Captivate is installed)
The files that have been affected by this issue have been under 9MB and under 60 slides, well within Captivate's limits
I do not use animation or audio in my files, I only use the captions, highlight boxes, buttons etc provided by Captivate.
Tech Support at my office has provided me with a new 'barebones' computer which has only essential applications such as Microsoft Office on it, to minimize any risk from applications not being compatible with Captivate
In preparing the barebones computer, Tech Support completed the steps that Adobe Support provided in the Tech Note below:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb404171&sliceId=1
We have reinstalled Captivate
Has anyone encountered this issue or have any idea what it could be? I wonder if any of the 2 things below might be an issue:
1) I use dual monitors at work - so I capture my screenshots for Captivate on one monitor while Captivate is open in the other monitor. Additionally, the monitor where I capture my screenshots is at a lower resolution (1024 X 768) than the monitor where Captivate is open, since my computer's standard screen resolution is too high for screenshots. Could this be causing problems?
2) I copy and paste slides, captions, buttons etc A LOT within and between different projects. Although each of my projects is small, I have about 20 projects so far, 7 of them are affected by this issue.
We have had this issue for a month now and not sure how to proceed, any insight would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks,
Fereshteh

I use Captivate 3, and I use a dual screen. My resolution is the same on both screens however. I don't have any of the problems you are describing.
I also copy and paste between projects alot, and have 2 instances of Captivate open to do this. Once again, no problem.
Sorry I can't help, but you may want to let us know what version of Captivate, Windows, Flash Player you are using.
Cheers,
Kerry
