Captivate 7 multiscreen calling the SWF instead of HTML5 content

I have created a very simple quiz currently located at:
www.racismnoway.com.au/test/h-racismatschool/index-puzzles.html
These are the test links on the page:
Test links Hypothetical: Racism at school multi (multiscreen.html) | html5 (index.html)| flash (hyp-racismatschool.htm-swf file)
My issue is that the multiscreen file cannot seem to call the HTML5 file.
I need the correct file to be called automatically though to support all users.
When clicking on the link to the multiscreen.html, from HTML5 compatable browsers running off Windows (namely IE11 and Firefox 26, Chrome 31), the swf file is called, not the HTML5 version.
When testing on IOS devices multiscreen will not call the HTML5 file at all.
If I click directly on either the HTML5 or Flash link. Both are called seemlessly.
Additional notes:
I have run the HTML5 tracker. It does not flag any unsuported slides/objects that could be causing the issue.
There is no video in the project
I have not used the scalable html content option (as it was causing other issues).
I have not published any reporting content.
Any help greatly appreciated. I've been trying to troubleshoot this for some time now.

Thank you Neil. Good to know. I've found it dosn't work on Ipods at all and have assumed that this would be the same for Ipad/iphone as they share the same OS (from what i understand). I'll invesigate further.
I will update the default user agent line shortly to match what you've kindly provided above.
Ideally, I would like the multiscreen.html file to call index.html as the first preference for HTML5 compliant browsers, using the swf as the fallback for older browsers. Instead all HTML5 compliant browsers are using the swf as the first preference.
This is problematic as I've had problems either with Flash plugin not being detected on a Mac running Safari or Adobe wanting to reinstall Flash, on a PC running IE11. I figure these issues would be avoided if HTML5 was used where possible.

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

Never heard of that. I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I only have the SWF file and HTML5 output, how can I control it?

Picture this: A client gives me two zipped archives; one archive has a SWF file and another has HTML5, JS, and CSS. Both were published after checking "Scorm 1.2" in the reporting tab in Captivate. I'm just one developer and all I have at my disposal is html, javascript, and css.
Is it possible for me for resume progress? Send quiz scores to my web service? Control playback?

The 'built-in method' is called Self-paced Learning, and it usually has a message window that appears when you resume the lesson which asks the user whether or not they want to resume from the last visited slide. However, as has been mentioned before on this forum, as soon as you activate LMS Reporting in Quiz Settings then Self-paced Learning is disabled. It's only designed for situations where an LMS is NOT involved. LMSs typically have other mechanisms for resuming playback and having more than one mechanism active at the same time could result in conflicts.
SCORM-compliant LMSs have the option of using Resume Data Bookmarking, but not all LMSs implement this in consistent ways. The new SCORM drivers with Cp6 do a much better job of implementing bookmarking than previous versions, so I encourage anyone to upgrade to Cp6 if they haven't already done so.
Since it sounds like you're trying to roll your own LMS I'm assuming that your Cp modules will have Quiz Reporting turned on, which means Self-paced Learning is NOT going to be an option. You'll need to work with the SCORM Resume Data to achieve your goals. But this is NOT an area for the faint-hearted or the non-programmer. In SWF content, the scoring variables are passed from within the Captivate runtime to the Javascript SCORM API. In HTML5 content this will all be JS code, however, it's going to be quite complex JS code and messing with it at all is likely to break something. Personally, I wouldn't go that route. If you're going to build your own LMS, make it the LMS that picks up the scoring and resume data from the Captivate output, rather than hacking the Cp code itself.

Does the Captivate Demo cripple the SWF file?

Is the Adobe Captivate Free Demo limited? I created a SWF file but I'm not able to insert into a Sharepoint web part.
Are the demo files not compatible with regular Flash player or is the trial version crippling the output files? If so, will I need to download the actual software to fix this problem?
Once I purchase the software, will all employees in my organization be able to view the SWF file I create?
Thanks.

When i click a link sometimes it would load another link called the webtimes instead of what I clicked. How can this be fixed?

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/832815''
it would redirect me to webtimes.net then from there it would redirect me to an ad.

Need to edit a Captivate file that won't open. Can the SWF be edited?

We are currently using Adobe eLearning Suite 2 (Cp5).
We have 2 older Captivate files (Cp 3 or 4) that will not open; they act like they're opening but eventually they just time out without the error message that you normally get with a corrupt file.
So all we have access to are the SWFs & zip files that were uploaded into our LMS.
We are switching to a different LMS and need to quickly make an edit to these files before they are uploaded to the new LMS.
Is it possible to edit the SWF (delete about 30 seconds of content off the end of each file) and still have them function as far as registering completion? And if so, what program would I need?

Sorry, but only Adobe can speculate as to why the older files refuse to open in the newer version. Phase of the moon? Jupiter aligning with Mars while the house of the Moon is in retrograde?
Personally, I'm going with the Mass Coronal Ejection theory!
Assuming there is really no interaction going on, you *MIGHT* be able to fudge things to get that last 30 seconds to go away by playing the SWF and using Captivate to record the SWF as it plays.
Cheers... Rick

Does the SWF need to be in same directory as the HTML?

I'm relatively new at Flash, so apologies if my question has
an obvious answer... I've searched the newsgroups and other forums
and haven't found anything similar. Here's my problem:
- when my html doc is in the same directory as the swf file,
the movie appears and plays fine in my browser
- when my html doc is in a different directory as the swf
file (but calls the swf using the correct path), the movie doesn't
appear.
The exact html file that works when it's in the same
directory as the swf doesn't work when it's moved out of the
directory(and the path to the swf modified correctly)... This
problem doesn't occur with a different swf file (inherited from
another designer).
I use Flash MX2004 for Mac.
I've tried publishing to Player 6, 7, actionscript 1.0,
actionscript 2.0 with no difference in results.
Is this strange situation a Flash-on-Mac thing, or is there
some setting or parameter that I can set to resolve this?
Leif

1) the swf is not neccesary to be at same directory with html
2) when you load a swf from different directory, and you load
other swf into the main swf, all path are relative to the html, but
not swf.
3) it is nothing about what version of flash or what platform
you are using.

How to Open or load the swf file only in Java application

Hai.,
How I Secure my Flash SWF files(AS2 and AS3).?
The SWF files are only work through java application. When the java call the swf file that time only it will work otherwise it won't work including browsers also..

I attached the file to this post. It would be great if you could send me the pdf version of the block diagram. It's not totally finished, but that doesn't matter, I can complete it in school.
Thank you, really, thank you.
I know that this is not the purpose of this forum, but it was the easiest solution for my problem.

Can I package and call a java object in the swf? (on the client)

Hello,
Can I package and call/execute a java object within the
swf/adobe flash player?
I want to embed a java object in my swf, and then whne the
swf executes have it call the java object......
E.

..... there are few instances where it would be nice to
develope a single java object that can be used on the server and
the client..... let's say for the case of server side validation,
that could also be used by the client application for validation,
instead of having to maintain 2 sets of validation logic in two
different languages (java and AS).....

Publishing the swf file in Captivate 8: videos unable to load

This is my first time using Captivate. I am still using the free version of Captivate 8 from a Mac. I have created an online module for my college e-Learning course but, I can't get it to upload right anywhere! I am trying to upload the swf. file to Google Sites but the videos display a connection error message and never play. I have read everything I could online but nothing is working for me. I tried uploading a SCORM zip file to Coursesites and got an error message as well. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong...

I have not upgraded at this time, but I can if that will fix the issues I'm having with the published files.
To clarify, my project is NOT a responsive project. I'm just selecting HTML5 on the publish. And I am testing it locally, on our company server, and online. The drag and drop does not work in any instance of the index.html any of these locations.

How can I do this? I saw something about gift cards can only be used for music or movies, not apps.

Why does Captivate 6 create mp4 files that the swf does not playback clearly?

Captivate 5 created a .swf which suited my training purposes very nicely. There were swf files in the library, embedded in the (rather large) .swf that I asked the students to run. Now it seems that Captivate 6.0.1.240 won't do that. Captivate 6 creates external mp4 files for the video portion (audio is separately recorded mp3 that is imported to the finished demo video slide) and they look terrible when the .swf runs them. Those mp4 look fine on their own but the .swf must resize them to properly fit with the TOC on the screen.
The HTML created when I make the .swf looks fine but it does not all fit on the screen as does the .swf so I don't like it and don't want to use it. Thanks, in advance, for any replies and suggestions.

Hi llstewart,
I assume you are launching your program from C drive. Are any
components of Captivate stored on the remote drive? (I am thing
your user profile, are you the only person who accesses Captivate
from that machine?)
Does this happen all the time?
What I have noticed in my own network is that there are
periodic "dropped" connections on the network. I have never figured
out what it causing this, but Captivate does not like it. (Every
once in awhile if Word or Excel are writing to a file on a share,
they will become thoroughly corrupted too.)
The problem with Captivate is that it needs a lot of a
computer's resources and takes what it can get. It also seems to
write to a temp file a lot (while a capture is taking place) an
only "binds" it up when the user stops and ends the session. The
only thing I can think of is that during this process there is a
inturruption in your network.
Sorry I couldn't fully answer your question.
I would try (if you can) loading the software on a machine
that is not on the network and try to do a series of long captures
and see if the problem persists.
I work in a large network and I do not have the problem, but
I have also installed the software myself and made sure of the
installation. I also make sure the program I am recording is local
(whenever possible). Additionally, do you have problems with any
other programs and corrupted files?
Again, sorry I don't have a quick answer.

Detect end of the .swf file from captivate

Hi,
I've a .swf file sent by our clients. They want to put that .swf file on the webpage. The .swf file is published from captivate.
Now they want to display a submit button on end of the .swf (video). I don't know how to detect end of the video.
Need help...!!!
Thank you,
Himadri

Welcome to our community
Within Captivate you are able to choose different actions to occur when the Captivate movie completes play. Of course if you don't have Captivate and the project file you are pretty much stuck with what you have. If you *DO* have access to the source, you would then configure the end action to be what you like. Perhaps execute some JavaScript, load a different page, etc.
If you don't have access to the source file, you may be better off asking whomever provided the SWF to you to make a small change to the end action. They would then compile a new SWF and provide that to you to use.
You just said a "Submit" button should appear after the video plays. What exactly is this button supposed to do?
Cheers... Rick

Why can't I call the function in the swf from the javascript?

Hello,
I have an html file that calls the function in swf file. In the swf file, I registered the function to be called using ExternalInterface.addCallback, as the book says.
And I put this swf file in the html file using <object> tag and attempted to call the function using this object's id attribute.
But every time to run this file, what I see is the error message such as "test1.show is not a function".
Why is it?
Please anyone help me. I am enclosing my work file. It's very simple one.
Thank you.
Daniel.

It is entirely possible your college has decided to block certain websites. It's easy to do.
