Captivate 6 Scalable Html Content not Working with Widgets.

I am going to bring this topic up over and over again unti it gets fixed. The problem is not web browsers. The problem is Captivate and Widgets. No Captivate project will scale properly that contains a widget. I have tested this over the years on Connect Pro, Apache Web Server, Wamp, and more. I have tried hacking Captivate with Widgets that Contain a NO_Scale line in the them and more. The project won't scale at all or if I manage to get scaling the sides and bottoms of the projects are cut off and view all of the module is funky. There has got to be a working solution to this. I have way too may project with Widgets so removing them is not a option. I do not have a standard base to work from for monitor size so a working scale function is essential. Widgets are one of the things that sets Captivate apart from the competition and with out them I just as soon use another program.
I was really hoping the new Scale Function in Captivate 6 would have fixed this but it did not.
Sorry If I am not coming off as polite. This is problems that has annoyed me for years.

Actually, the problem is with the widgets and the way they are coded, not with Captivate.
When this problem was first identified some years ago now, reqponsible widget developers were quick to release updates that resolved the issue. You just needed to swap out the old widgets with updated ones that didn't cause the rescaling issue.
If you're using lots of widgets, especially older widgets that were not updated in code, then you'll continue to have this issue.
My suggestion is to make a list of all widgets you use, test each one on its own in a project containing no other widgets, to see if it prevents rescaling, and if it does, replace or ditch the widget entirely. If you can locate the original developer, find out if they have an updated version you can use. If they don't, or they don't feel inclined to fix it (because there's no incentive to do so) then ditch the widget and find another solution.
When they first came out in Cp4, everyone thought widgets would take the world by storm and be very profitable for their creators. Neither has proven to be true. They are certainly very useful additions to Captivate functionality, but I think you will find that a lot of the widgets developed early in their history now have nobody supporting them.

Captivate 8 content not working with screen readers

My Adobe Captivate 8 published content is not working with any of the screen readers I have tested: JAWS, Mac Voice Over, and Windows Narrator. It is a simple launch page with 6 buttons used to launch additional CBTs.
I have been over and over the content in the help topic for this and cannot find any reason to think I am not doing this right:
[ ] https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/creating-accessible-projects.html
I have added accessibility text for the slide, I have tried adding the accessibility text for the buttons, have turned on accessibility in my publish settings, I have even tried just adding a text caption sitting on the slide with the text I want read by the screenreader - none of it works.
I have searched the forums and it appears others have this issue as well. The latest forum post was having to do with Captivate 7 - where the poster followed up stating Adobe Support recognized this as a "bug". Does screen reader accessibility work in Captivate 8 or not?
Is there anyone out there who has produced content that works with a screen reader?! If so, please tell me what the secret is!!

I've been able to get a screen reader to read parts of a Captivate 8 presentation using the HTML5 output (but NOT the .swf output). I tested using NVDA.
However - they keyboard accessibility does not seem to be functioning correctly. I can tab through buttons and such - but hitting enter on any of the buttons (play, forward, backward, closed captions, audio) does not work.
Overall - doesn't seem that Captivate 8 is as "accessible" as Adobe is claiming. Much of what they claim should work - does not.
CP8 is certainly no where near WCAG 2.0 "AA" standards (which unfortunately is where i need things to be).

In IE7 CLSID In HTML File Not Working With 1.4 and 1.5 Plugins Installed

Thanks in advance.
I'm using JRE 1.4.2_03 with a CLSID attribute in my HTML file. It works fine with Internet Explorer 6. If I install a newer version of the JRE (i.e. 1.5.0) IE6 still uses the 1.4.2_03 plugin.
But, when we install Internet Explorer 7, IE ignores the CLSID in the HTML file and starts the 1.5.0 plugin.
Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, then how do I solve it?
Thanks.

Yes, I solved it by using this classid in the <OBJECT> tag in my HTML file:
classid = "clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA"
The "FFFF" in the middle tells the IE browser to use the highest build of the major version of the JRE that you specifiy in the clsid. In the case of my example, above, the browser selects the highest build of JRE 1.4.2. But, the catch is that you have to install JRE 1.5.0 (I think it's 1.5.0_07) or later. Just install 1.5.0_11 and it will work. This may seem strange, but, for some reason, Sun didn't implment the fix in 1.4.

Destinations from an HTML file not working with Acrobat XI

When the link is executed in Acrobat X it opens to the correct destination. When opened with Acrobat XI it doesn't. In fact, when I open the PDF (created with Acrobat Pro X) with Acrobat Pro XI I don't see any destinations... I don't see where to view them if they do exist. I already tried disabling the protected settings in XI and that didn't work. What happens is a dialog for downloading the PDF opens and your only choice is opening the PDF to the first page (instead of the destination). This is also happening on all browsers... so I am suspecting something buried in the Control Panel. Please help.

Thank you but this doesn't help... I know where the destination pane is... that's how I created them... Acrobat XI is not showing the destinations but the issue is Acrobat XI opening a download dialog instead of following the destination. I think it's an application or Windows issue but I don't see it...

'Content not working' problem on BBC and elsewhere

Wonder if any kind and expert people could help here?
System: Lenovo laptop, Win XP SP3 32bit, all updates installed. Main browser Firefox with add-ons including Adblock and Ghostery. Broadband via TalkTalk (after they bought up the original ISP I signed up for!) via a BT Business Hub router, usually connecting wirelessly. Comodo firewall installed, no other 'security' stuff running..
Problems: started around 7/8/9ish Jan 2013 after working fine for ages. Not sure what triggered it - there were Windows, Acrobat and possibly a few other automatic updates going in around then, maybe also FireFox going to 18.
Problem is with on demand video:
BBC iPlayer - any show - spins for a bit then comes up "this content doesn't seem to be working"
Error code - EMP v.3.0.0.r617463_618125_4 Playlist URL : http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlist/p012msym/ Error code :
CDNRedundancyManagerError [0] : null
BBC news website clips - any - spins for a bit then comes up "this content doesn't seem to be working"
Error code - same as iPlayer
BBC radio player - says 'loading' for a bit then does nothing.
ITVplayer - plays an ad then 'resume' button comes up but it won't play, 'resume' just reappears.
Youtube - videos play but takes several seconds to start buffering, much slower than usual
BUT video playing via e.g. Guardian website seems to work fine.
I've tried googling CDNRedundancyManagerError and searching for any related problems, and then tried everything suggested, e.g. at
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4022210
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1939039.html
but nobody seems to have an answer and all made no difference:
- Broadband speed tests - these show around 2Mb/s as usual. Iplayer diagnostic showed the 'streaming 1' test at zero one time, but then it was around 2Mb/s like the others on subsequent tests.
- Cleared Firefox browser cache and history
- Restarted FF in safe mode
- checked 'allow third party storage' is on in Flash settings. Also tried it with and without hardware acceleration (right click in Flash player and also in Firefox options).
- /etc/hosts file is original Windows one with no changes.
- uninstalled Flash and reinstalled current Flash 11.5 (freshly downloaded)
- Full clean uninstalled Flash as per Adobe instructions and reinstalled 11.5
- Clean uninstalled and tried Flash Beta 11.6
- Clean uninstalled then tried Flash 10.3
- Then put 11.5 back on
- Turned off firewall
- In firewall, whitelisted Firefox and plugin container
- Installed Chrome and tried that - exactly the same behaviour as Firefox.
- Connected laptop to router via ethernet cable not Wifi
- Tried another XP computer, connecting by wifi to the same router - same problem. Rarely use this machine so not sure how long it had the issue.
- Tried a Windows 7 laptop connecting by wifi to the same router - works properly no problems!
- On original laptop tried a system restore to a week ago when known working - system restore failed, 'no changes made to original system'.
So, I'm a bit flummoxed.
- Can't be the router as the Win7 laptop works OK.
- Can't be the ISP throttling streaming video as the Win7 laptop works OK.
- Can't be the Wifi on the XP machines as connecting by ethernet makes no difference.
- Unlikely(?) to be Flash as the Chrome version has same problems as Firefox, and also installing various versions made no difference.
- Not the firewall as turning it off makes no difference.
- Not the Firefox add-ons as (a) turning them off in safe mode makes no difference and (b) Chrome also affected
So what can it be? Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance for any help. Will respond quickly with further info or results of further tests. Cheers Pete

Good idea - but sadly there was no change in safe mode. I agree something in XP does sound like the culprit...
I suspect it may be quite hard to reproduce - similar error reports from users are fairly thin on the ground, and I'd expect many more if all XP systems were affected. Everything also plays fine on an XP machine I have at work (different router and ISP, but it's got much the same software on and has had all the same updates).
I'm in the UK BTW as you clearly guessed!
As to a URL - just try any of the video clips on the BBC website or try playing anything via iPlayer - they all behave the same as far as I can tell. e.g.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21039157
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01pz9m7/Locomotion_Dan_Snows_History_of_Railways_Epi sode_1/
both give the 'content not working' with CDN redundancy etc error just now. Incidentally several of the Google hits for that error were for people trying to access the BBC via various VPN services/proxies... wonder if that's an indication I'm running into some error whereby the BBC don't know I'm in the UK?
for ITV player see e.g.
https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/lewis/series-7/episode-2-down-among-the-fearful-part-2
It prompted me for a location - either via me typing a postcode or letting the browser tell them the location. Choosing the latter came up 'unknown' so I had to enter the postcode...
So I wonder if it's an issue whereby my IP address (or whatever) isn't being properly tied to a UK location. I would assume that's usually an ISP issue, although the fact that the Windows 7 machine works would seem to contradict this...
Region is set as UK in the XP 'Regional and Language' control panel...
Finally I've just noticed that another on demand service seems to be working OK: e.g.

Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
Thanks,

Firefox 28 not working with NoScript local files file:///C:/....html

Was working in Firefox 22, using NoScript extension. Loaded FireFox 28 and an href=file:///C:/.....html does not work. Any work around?

Well it was helpful in showing that there is obviously an issue with Firefox 28+ not able to use the CAPS interface with NoScript to run a LocalFileLink. I have followed the advice of the gentleman who loaded Firefox 27.0.1 and got it to work with that.
I have updated all 40 Kiosks set the Options>advanced>Update to never then updated with Firefox 27. All is working apart from my hands and my lack of sleep and my throbbing head.
I am concerned about the laidback attitude and want to know when I can resume the Firefox update routine, after this 'feature' is changed. Firefox can do better than that.
NB IE Tab doesn't work either. LocalLink only allows a right click link option.

Captivate 7 - Embedded links not working properly

Good morning everyone. Hopefully somebody has run into this issue and knows of a fix!
I have published multiple simulations using Captivate 7 (forced re-publish of all slides, scalable HTML content, output set as SWF, and Flash Player version is 10) each with navigable main menus, table of contents, etc. On each main page, the user can click buttons to open a new topic to learn about, or to click a button to take them to a youtube video in a new tab of the topic in discussion. When users are on Mac or VMWare running Win7 (32 or 64 bit) and click on the button to open the youtube link, the click noise is produced, but the video will not open! Has anyone else run into this issue?

First suggestion: Could you use the YouTube widget? It works well. The widget will play the video inside the captivate project. It provides an option for the user to watch the video on YouTube.com, which opens the video in a new tab.
If that works for your lesson, I recommend adding new slides to your Captivate project. Place the YouTube widget for each video on its own slide. Then, assign your original buttons to jump to slide to play the appropriate video.
We ran into trouble with links to a client's internal network. However, this was a problem across the board, not in specific browsers or OS. Captivate did not recognize the symbol for spaces or special characters. The link, for instance InternalResources/Brochures/Product%20Name%20Brochure, replaces spaces with %20. We had to manually change the links to have a literal space instead of %20. (InternalResources/Brochures/Product Name Brochure)

Publish: Scalable, HTML5, SWF Not working on Android 4.1.1

In Captivate 6, I publish with SWF, HTML5, and Scalable HTML content. It will not run on the Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.1). What do I need to change.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for contacting Adobe Support.
we would like to inform you that output option through Captivate have not been tested completely on Android devices.
However the corresponding department are still testing the same at their end. If we get any update for the same we will surely let you know.
Thanks

Slimbox not working with Spry Dataset

Hi there,
I'm trying to populate a page with Spry Dataset and use Slimbox2 to show a set of 4 images when a thumbnail is clicked.
The original webpage WITHOUT Spry Dataset is here:
http://shadowmuseum.com/portfolio/p-web.html
Currently it works with just slimbox, but as soon as I add a Spry Dataset, the large images won't load anymore. When a thumbnail is clicked on, it opens the 1st large image of the set in a new page, completely removing the lightbox effect.
I've scouted the internet for solutions; it's been suggested that slimbox doesn't work because spry doesn't have time to load the content first. But I'm not savvy with javascript at all, so have no idea how to work around it....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
P.S. Below is the HTML code for the page with both spry & slimbox:

Flash Player 11.3.300.262 Not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.

*Flash Player 11.3.300.262 is not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.*
Millions of people got off work & turned on there computers recently to discover that Firefox is not playing any videos or flash content. Just like me, millions of people are randomly searching the internet in a futile & frustrating attempt at answers. Unfortunately, many of those people will simply stop using firefox & deem it a glitchy, unreliable browser.
This happened to me a couple days ago. I started up my computer & got a pop-up from Adobe saying that I need to update my flash player to 11.3.300.262. I've always thought of adobe as being a reliable software company, so I clicked on it with confidence that things will be working even smoother. To my horror, I relalized that right after the update, my main browser, firefox was destroyed. Then I went on the frustrating process of uninstalling, re-installing, running virus scan, researching the internet like a lost child. I said to myself, "that's why I hate updating stuff, because updates always seem to change stuff you don't want it to change & there always seems to be a problem with the updates." I usualy update software months after it releases, because microsoft & all the other software companies always seem not to test there stuff properly before releasing them. Then we have to look at a glitchy computer until the next update fixes it. Well, that is my rant. Now let me discuss the problem I found.
Problem:
What I did was, go into my firefox extentions menu & I disabled the 11.3.300.262 & I re-enabled the previous flash player. After that, everything worked perfect again. Then a today (a week later), I turned on my computer & my firefox wasn't playing any videos or flash content again. I went into my firefox extenions menu again, & I discovered that my old flash player had been deleted, & this new glitchy 11.3.300.262 had been enabled. Why did adobe feel the need to into my computer & automaticly delete & update my flash player. Now it doesn't work. THIS IS REALY FRUSTRATING!
The Issue I discovered:
"RealPlayer" is the most popular video program & it is installed on millions of computers. For some strange reason Firefox does not want its users to use Real Player. Specifically the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2. I also discovered that my Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2 was automatically disabled when the Adobe 11.3.300.262 was automatically updated also.
- Maybe this could be because of some copyright conspiracy to keep people from downloading videos from the web.
- Maybe firefox wants people to use there download add-on instead of RealPlayers downloader.
I don't know what ther reason is. But what I do know is Nobody is going to delete there RealPlayer from there computer just to use FireFox. We can simply use Chrome or Internet explorer. I took the advise from Adobe & disabled the FireFox RealPlayer Extention. I also went into my RealPlayer preferences options, But there was no option to disable download recording from FireFox. BECAUSE I ALREADY DISABLED THE ADD-ON in FireFoxes menu.
Solution:
Step 1: Adobe needs to update all the computers with the previous flash player. That way we can choose to enable the previous flash player in our FireFox. or wait until a new update fixes the problem with firefox.
Step 2: Adobe & FireFox need to get together & go back to the drawing board. They need to create a update that actually works on computers that have Real Player installed on them. I don't care which company does the update. All I care about is if it works. Thank You.
Oh yea, Im running FireFox 13.0.1, Windows 7, HP computer, Real Player is up to date.

Hey Chris,
I was able to duplicate this issue on my Windows 7 laptop as follows:
     1) Completely uninstall FlashPlayer (using your tool) as well as Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Maintenance Service (used Windows 7 - uninstall from Control Panel). Please note that I checked the box that said "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" to ensure that Firefox was completely gone from my laptop.
     2) I then went out to the Firefox website and downloaded the "Firefox Setup 13.0.1.exe" app to my laptop. I ran this app to install Firefox.
     3) I then went to the following website http://www.ishmael.org.uk/karaoke02.php as I know that this URL uses Flash Player (obviously you can go to any URL that uses Flash Player - I'm just letting you know which one I used). I then clicked on the icon on this page to install Flash Player.
Once the install was completed, the URL stops responding and appears to be locked up (although it will occassionally hiccup and display portions of the page and then lock up again). You will eventually get a pop-up notice from Firefox that has the header "Warning: Unresponsive script" and says the following:
     A script on this page may be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to to see of the script will complete. Script: chrome://browser/content/browser.js:6551
Selecting "Stop script" will get Firefox working until you hit another page that uses Flash Player.
To ensure that the above URL is not the culprit, I used one from your website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html and had the same results.
Hope this info helps!
Jeff
NOTE: As a reminder, I do not have RealPlayer installed on my laptop (and never have had it installed)

Silverlight 5 WebBrowser Control - Is the SL5 WebBrowser control is set to work in IE7 mode only? I have a 3rd party web site I'm hosting and now they will not work with IE 7 Compatibility mode. Looks like this control can't detect I'm setup for IE 9. I'm
running IE 11 with registry hack for IE 9. I think the SL5 webbrowser control is set to work only in IE 7. can some one verify this or tell me how to set the WebBrowser control up to run either IE8, 9, 10 or 11? I have same issue with machines running IE 8
and above. This Silverlight 5 application is running out of browser with the elevated privileges (hack) and at test certificates install in proper stores. This application has been running for 2.5 years. Vender switch on some changes a couple days ago that
broke this application. Help!!

Hi,
It seems there is nothing to do with IE mode.
Please make sure your link still can be accessed.
The WebBrowser displays HTML content in applications running in a Silverlight 4 or later out-of-browser applications or in Silverlight 5 in-browser trusted applications only.

Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer. There's nothing separate to download or install.
Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

External USB HD does not work with HAL:

External USB HD does not work with HAL:
From the last 10 days the HAL auto-mount with ntfs-3g file system of my external hard drive does not woks.
But the manual mount procedure with the command mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb* /mnt/XYZ works.
I've followed the instructions in the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL and the system has worked up to the last kernel or HAL update.
My fat32 usb-stick works without any problem.
If I try to open the device with KDE it appears an error popup wit this message:
TODO: have to rethink extra options
Error: kio_media_mount_helper
The log from the kernel.log is

Do you have some idea ....
Bye.

I have done the following:
Downloaded the patched hal version.
used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
have i done something wrong?

WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
pacman -Rd hal
it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
options=('!libtool')
install=hal.install
source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
hal
hal-policy.patch
cryptsetup_location.patch
hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
'882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
'5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era
