Captivate 7 - Bookmarking issues with Cornerstone LMS on IPAD

Hello,
I am looking for some assistance with Captivate 7 (currently using version 7.0.0.118) with the Cornerstone LMS and bookmarking when using an IPAD. We have no issues with content launching, bookmarking, and sending completions on Windows based opeating systems, but on IPAD's, with the latest version of the IPAD OS and Safari, we have no issues with launching the content and it will send back a completion, but the content will not bookmark.
Cornerstone is stating that the Safari browser on the iPad is not properly implementing the onbeforeunload trigger, which is primarily used in courses to force a save of the course data. This event is not triggered within the iPad version of Safari, preventing courses from saving themselves when the course is closed. We currently have our customers closing the web browser in order to exit the course on the IPAD. We are not experiencing this issue with the HTML5 courses that were exported with Captivate 6.
Thank you,
Karl

Clare,
If you want a continuous movie (since it is simply a demo) you can use the HD Video Demo. But editing and synchronizing will be much more a pain.
Captivate's power is just in the creation of those static slides, but I would never record narration at the same time. I create the VO after having created the simulation, that is much easier just because the slides are static. I have been choosing Captivate just for that reason, but of course it is up to you. Want to have just demo: use HD Video Demo or choose Camtasia. But you'll never have the interactivity power that has Captivate. For trainees and students, interactive simulations are much more engaging, but that is your choice. And even a 200 slides movie has only 6000 frames, and will have a much smaller filesize than a video that explains the same.

Network accounts on OS X 10.6.8 experience bookmark issues with Firefox 9

We run OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) with network accounts, home directories being mounted by AFP from a Snow Leopard server with attached XServe RAID.
Since 9.0.1 (possibly earlier) bookmark management has become impossible. Added bookmarks sometimes don't survive after logout/login. Delete bookmarks sometimes reappear.
A more elegant demonstration of the problem involves creating a new account. On the first run of Firefox, attempting to add a bookmark gives you an empty "Add Boomark" dialogue. "Show All Bookmarks" reveals that you have three bookmarks called "(no title)" that you can't edit or delete. It is impossible to add additional bookmarks.
I've tried delete and recreating profiles, and checking the places.sqlite file for corruption with no joy. This looks like a fundamental issue with the way Firefox deals with bookmarks.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue? I doubt if anyone is crazy enough to have a setup like ours, but any help would be appreciated.

That still sounds as there are access problems to the places.sqlite database file, so you need to check that out another time.

Captivate 5.5 issue with finding external files

I have a project where I am trying to have a swf open another document (pdf, ppt, etc.). What I am having an issue with is Captivate does not see the files if they are not in the same directory as the swf. I have tried multiple options. I can not have a drive letter involved as this is a mobile file which will be run off of a USB drive.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there
I'm not sure what you are experiencing here. How exactly have you tried to path your links? If you know the "HTML Shorthand" of accessing files it should not be a problem. Captivate won't need to "see" the files. Certainly plopping all the files together is the simplest (and most often recommended) way of working, but as long as you know how to use what we call "Relative Addressing", things should work fine.
So if you want a structure like this:
Captivate SWF Folder
** SomeSWF.SWF
** SomeSWF.HTM
** Standard.JS
And maybe you want a folder named PDFS that would make the structure look like this:
Captivate SWF Folder
** SomeSWF.SWF
** SomeSWF.HTM
** Standard.JS
** PDFs
**** SomePDF.PDF
The link inside Captivate would simply look like this:
PDFS/SomePDF.PDF
Or maybe you have a folder named PDFS that you want at the same level as the Captivate SWF Folder so the structure looks like this:
Captivate SWF Folder
** SomeSWF.SWF
** SomeSWF.HTM
** Standard.JS
PDFs
** SomePDF.PDF
In that case the link inside Captivate would look like this:
../PDFS/SomePDF.PDF
Also, if you are testing on your local C drive, the links may not work because you need to asjust your Flash Player Global Security Settings and add the output folder as a trusted location.
Steps for doing that are at the link below:

Performance Issues with Folio format in Ipad.

Hello everyone! My FIRST post here!!!
I work with educational games and I'm facing performance issues with games that I've made in HTML5 to play in Ipad. I tried to import them to the format folio in DPS (Adobe Digital Publishing Suite). However when I import the HTML game into Indesign and try to preview it in Adobe content viewer, the game doesn't open or works without perform properly (there is a lag that doesn't let you play the game with a little of fun).
The games that I've created have a memory use max of 35mb and weighs 30mb max.
Does anyone know what's happen and what I can do to fix that performance issue?
Thanks a lot!

Apple TV buffering issues with iPhone 4s and iPad 2

Hi all,
I just got me an Apple TV 2nd gen (yeah, I know, ordered 2 days before the presentation of the new one). So far so good, the device is up and running, connects just fine to my Airport Express router and all.
However, if I try to stream a video from my iPad (2) or my iPhone (4S), the results are quite horriffic. The iPad videos would buffer for a very long time before they start and then quite fast after that the buffering problems restart. It's pretty impossible to play a video fluently of more than 20 seconds. If I'd try from my iPhone it's even worse with videos being 1080p, the thing just never plays, eventually the preloading process stops on the mirroring mode is cut.
I have to point out, all my devices are in the same room (WiFi) so the signal is the best it can be.
This is honestly quite surprising AND disappointing to be honest, given I bought the device mostly for that, so I can stream videos from my phone and pad.
Tell me, am I doing something wrong, or the video streaming over those devices is just a marketing gimmick with nothing real behind it?
Would it matter if I change my router from Airport express to Airport extreme?
Thanks!

I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
and plays properly.
Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
Thanks again.

Issues with video playback on iPad 2

I have an iPad 2 (I had this issue with the iPad 1st gen. as well), and I'm having some playback issues on movies and TV shows purchased through iTunes. I've removed the movies/shows and re-synced, I'm using the cable that came with my iPad.
     The issue is that when I'm watching a movie/show, the video will freeze, get very pixelated, and then pick back up anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 minutes later in the video. I had this issue with 2 of the first gen iPads (as stated above) and took those back to the store, however my iPad 2 was a prize from a contest and cannot be returned.
     I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, but if anyone has any tips or answers about this that could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.
     Thank you.

Ok, I created this sample file by tearing some code out of a larger project. Its a little light on comments and the code could be cleaned up a lot but it works fairly well. This example uses stageVideo with a fallback to a regular netstream video object. It is based loosely on several sample stageVideo source that I found online.
When you tap on the play button in the example it first loads in a custom player container, then it converts the entire stage to a bitmap and masks this bitmap using a mask bitmap that is created from the library. This mask creates a hole through the bitmap version of the stage contents so that the stageVideo is visible. (Because stageVideo is always drawn under everything in the displaylist.)
This example also has an iOS styled player UI that I created so that it would look similar to the native video player. It has play, pause, a video scrubber and full screen mode. There is a small sample h.264 video included in the example so you can test it out and see it work. On the iPad make sure that your videos are in a folder or in the root and that the folder or files are added to the included file list for your app. Also make sure that the render mode in your app.xml file is either GPU or Direct. Beyond that if you have problems or questions let me know.

Captivate 8 browser issue with HTML 5 published course

Hi, I'm troubleshoot a new issue. I have published a responsive course in HTML 5 and posted it to our LMS. The course played fine last week in Chrome but now seems to have a few issues. I wanted to know if anyone had any ideas if it's a browser compatibility issue or possible more to-do with the course publish settings. The course doesn't automatically play anymore. I have to click play on the playbar to start the course, the videos are slower, and the click boxes are not clickable.
Any ideas?

Captivate 4 Bookmark Issue

I have read through all the threads, but still cannot get bookmark to be enabled on my Captivate 4 modules.
I am publishing as swf in a zip and uploading to an LMS.
I have the "Never send resume date" NOT checked; I have the TOC on self-paced; I have the slide count variable on full project, but I still cannot get my videos to resume where they closed.
Does anyone have an answer, this is getting very frustrating.
Thank you,

Button Objects pause the slides they are on by their very
nature. The default action normally assigned to Buttons is to
"Continue playing project".
So here's how it works. Slide is playing and Button pauses it
waiting for the user to click. Assuming no changes to the Button
action, a click on the Button normally resumes play and eventually
the playhead traverses to the next slide.
As for webjester's post, I"m having trouble making sense of
it. I'm not sure if s/he is saying the next slide is being skipped
or not.
Cheers... Rick
I just realised my example involved an error. In the case
where I have a button set to open another file. If it can't find
the file, it pauses the slide and gives me the error to say it
can't find it. I ok the error message (twice usually) and my slide
sits there paused. I push the button again and it finishes the
slide without trying to open the URL again.
I thought maybe that a button will only do its attached
action once (and if the action doesn't take you off the slide or
change the position on the timeline), if you press the same button
a second time it will just unpause and continue???
webjester is trying to say... if the text field is empty, and
you press next, you get a message telling you to press skip
instead. If you then press next again, it shouldn't do anything.
(cos you should be pressing skip).
However, next is making the slide go to the next slide.
uh... I'm going back in my box now.

Captivate 6.0 - issue with using audio files as voicover

We are using Adobe Captivate 6.0. We are using imported audio files as the voicover for the slides. While plyaing the final published exe, it runs normal. However, if I use the slidebar at the bottom of the slide for moving back and forth, the audio goes away while the slide continues to play. Can anyone please advise as to why this could be happening and how to resolve the issue? Appreciate any urgent help on this.

Hello there,
Have you inserted the audio on the slides or on the objects?
Can you increase the slide quality to 24-bit (slide properties), then republish the project and see whether that helps?
Thanks.

Bookmarks issue with Preview after Mavericks upgrade.

Hi,
after upgrading to Mavericks my bookmarks in Preview are not named as before. Now they appear as a sequence of non-sense letters and numbers.
Is there anyway to see all my hundreds of bookmarks as I named in the last couple of years?
I am a scientist and I bookmarked something like 500 scientific papers. Please do not tell me that I have to re-do all the work.
Pretty upset...

Please help, its really important.
Thanks in Advance.,
I can also be reached at [email protected]

Glad to hear you got it resolved, My issue is similar but we are no where near solving it.
I live in Austria and bought an iPad mini for my mother in Trinidad. Before sending it to her I wanted to set it up so that all she needed to do would be turn on and get going.
Everything worked except facetime and imessage with her Apple ID, both of which work on her iPhone 4 without a problem.
A call to Apple support did not help - the guy kept on insisting I create a new apple ID for these apps even they already work with her iPhone 4 with her existing Apple ID. I sent it to her in the hope that the gepgraphic location of the iPad mini would somehow make it possible.
She has not gotten it but cannot activate facetime or imessage on her end.
This seems to be an obscure bug of some sort. I wish there would be a readily available fix so she doesnt have to create a separate ID for these apps.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Is anyone else having charging connection issues with their generation 4 ipad?

My generation 4 ipad is having charging connections. When I plug it in to charge with the charger that came with it, the part that connects right to the actual ipad is not always connecting. Sometime I have to wiggle it around or angle it until I hear the sound of connection and can see on the screen that it is actually charging. Sometimes I will charge it and when I leave it is in charge mode but when I come back to check on it, it never charged at all. Is anyone else having this problem or know what might be wrong? I would think a brand new ipad wouldn't have a charging problem right out of the box.

Hi gruhland,
Thanks for your reply. It sounds like your device is actually in a restart loop, which is different from the process of a soft reset. Specifically, what I wanted you to try is this:
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If resetting does not break the restart loop, it sounds like a different direction may be warranted here. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more assistance by using another one of Apple's support resources:

Take care,

Sync issues with LR5/iMac and iPad (IOS 8.1)

I have been using published folder to sync my photos with my iPad and iPhone, and for the past two years, it's been working fine but lately, something has gone awry. For some reason, now when I edit a photo in LR and it republishes the photo (as a jpeg), itunes simply doesnt see the phtot and it disappears from the folder on the ipad. Yes, the new publised photo is in the iMac and it appears just like the photos before and after it, but iTunes doesn't send it over. I have tried manually exporting these photos to a different folder to see if it will bring them over, but they still wont come. I've tried renaming as well, but still no luck; it's almost as if LR is creating some strange jpeg that iTunes cannot see.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
