Captivate 7: PowerPoint animations not working when previewed in HTML 5
I have imported my PowerPoint presentation (pptx) into captivate 7. On two slides, I have an image set to fade 1s after the page opens. (The slide duration is 3s). If I scrub the playhead over the timeline, the image fades as expected, and if I select the 'preview in web browser' option, it works as well. It is only when I select 'preview HTML 5 output in web browser' that the image doesn't fade as expected.
I have 2 other click boxes on the slide. One is to exit and the other is to download a file. Both are on the timeline for the full 3s. There is nothing else on the slide - what am I doing wrong?
Hi mary_td,
HTML5 output will work for PPTX files with High Fidelity checked in PowerPoint Import dialog while importing on Windows.
It will not work for PPT file as mentioned in your post. You can save your PPT as PPTX if that is the case.
If you still see the issue. Please mail me the pptx file.

Captivate 3 - click boxes not working when published
I have a fairly large Captivate 3 file (131 MB .cp, 77 slides, most w/ audio) that I received from a vendor and am making some final edits. When I preview "next 5 slides" everything works great. When I publish though, the click boxes aren't working. I hear the click sound, but the action (continue, jump to slide, etc) does not occur. My gut feeling is that the file is fairly large and certain functions aren't being properly published. I have done all I know to reduce the size of both the .cp and published files (image quality, audio quality, deleting unused items, remove Adobe Connect features, resave w/ new name, etc).
Anyone know a potential cause and solution?Hi there,
I have seen many instances when click boxes won't work. In this first instance I would suggest thatyou try removing the click box on one of the slides, insert a new one, publish and see if this makes any difference.
If, not then try copying all of your slides from the existing project to a new file. If one of the slides does not copy across it might be that some part of the original project has become corrupted.
In most cases I have found that removing the original interactive object: Click box, Text Entry Box etc and manually replacing this with a new one tends to address this issue.
Let us know how you get on.

Captivate 3 Text/Audio NOT playing when previewed
I am able to see text boxes and hear the audio by playing the slide in edit mode but when I go to preview - no matter how - they do not present themselves. The timing of the slide is still the same length as if they did play (i.e. 60 seconds of text/audio in edit mode...60 seconds of silence and blankness in preview mode).
Thank you for your wisdom
JCHow did you preview? Have you tried to publish and do you the same issue then?

I am creating webpages with frontpage and trying to make collapsible lists. The lists collapse and work correctly in "preview" mode, but do not work when accessed through firefox or explorer 8. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Welcome to the 'wonderful' world of HTML5 e-learning.
In my view, from the issues I am seeing everywhere, HTML5 output from rapid e-learning tools such as Captivate is not ready for the kind of mobile device e-learning you want to develop.
Sorry to be pessimistic, but you may need to consider going back to the drawing board and coding it from the ground up. -
My previews are not working when I make adjustments
My previews are not working when I make adjustments?
I am wondering why this may be?
I just bought the program like 1 week ago too :-(
Any ideas?What kind of adjustments are you making? Where are you looking for the previews? If you're using select list of filters or color adjustments, have you enabled 'Preview' in the dialog box?

Css3 animation does not work when triggerd by backing bean method
Hi,
I use Jdev 11.1.1.4 (but I guess the Jdev/ADF version does not matter in this case) and Firefox 15.0.1.
I tested some parts of article https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/css_animations_the_panel_flip from Duncan Mills.
The CSS3 animation for styleClass "rotateOut" works fine when I trigger it from mouse hover.
The problem is that the animation does not work when I set the styleclass in a backing bean.
In this case the UI component to rotate (in my case the calender component) changes immediatelly to the transition target without the transition-duration of 2 seconds and therefor there is no animation effect visible for the user.
Here the backing bean code:
public void doRotate() {
afCalender.setStyleClass("rotateOut");
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(getAfCalender());
}Here the skin:
.rotateOut {
-moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
-moz-transition-delay: 2s;
-moz-transform: rotateY(45deg);
-moz-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
-moz-transition-duration: 2s;
.rotateReturn {
-moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
-moz-transform: rotateY(0deg);
-moz-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
-moz-transition-duration: 2s;
}In Duncan's article java script is used to change the style class.
Does the CSS3 animation only work when java script is used to change the style class or shoud java in a backing bean also work?
Any hints?
regards
PeterI have tested several other settings but no success.
Any ideas?

Audio not working when published
When I record an audio clip within Captivate, although I can
hear it when previewing that one slide, I can't hear it when
previewing multiple slides or viewing the published movie. I know
it has nothing to do with push-buttons or other elements on the
slide (I've tried recording on blank slides, with the same result).
I've also tried exporting the audio files and listening to
them in Windows Media Player, and they work just fine (both the
.wav and .mp3 versions). This problem just started happening today.
For the last several months I've recorded tons of audio on several
different movies with no problems, but now it's not working.
I'm even worried that this issue is somehow corrupting some
of my CP files. Even after I delete all of the audio clips from the
slides they were on, and saving the CP file to a different name (it
contains 30 slides and is about 2MB), when I view the Bandwidth
Analysis, the Video size for Slide 1 shows 546KB, even though Slide
1 contains very minor things (an image and a text caption)--the
same kinds of elements as on every other slide, all of which have a
Video size of approximately 20KB.
So I inserted a blank slide after Slide 1 and copied the
elements (an image and a text caption) from Slide 1 to the new
slide, then viewed the Bandwidth Analysis again, and the new slide
was only 20KB or so, much smaller than the original Slide 1. But
then when I deleted the original Slide 1, the new slide I created
suddenly takes on the same huge Video size in the Bandwidth
Analysis as the previous Slide 1.
Bottom line--I can no longer publish any audio in about 1/2
of my Captivate movies. Can anyone please help?Teri, do this for me, if you would, please:
Check "
Movie > Preferences > Preferences tab > (check)
"Include Audio When Movie Is Generated".
Did that help?
To Everyone Monitoring This Thread: Another easily
overlooked troublemaker is the "Audio" icon (tiny speaker) located
beneath the timeline when you are viewing a single slide
(duh - sorry, brain fart - of course that's when yo see it because
the timeline isn't visible until you go to Edit mode - double duh).
Anyway, if you click it, you will turn audio off for
all single-slide previews - note ... I said ONLY previews of
the currently open slide. This will NOT affect other previews, nor
will it affect audio in the published product . . .
Hope this info helped some - have a good weekend!

Rollover Slidelets not working when published
Hi,
I'm using CP5.5 for a course that uses numerous rollover slidelets. Everything works as expected when previewing the slides in Captivate however the rollover slidelets do not work when the course is published and viewed in a browser.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks,
MattYour project file may be experiencing some corruption. Did you insert each of these slidelets using the Insert menu or did you perchance just copy and paste them from the same one? I've seen that practice cause issues sometimes.
Try creating a new blank project and then insert a few test slidelets using the Edit menu. Do they work when this project is published? If so, at least you know your Cp install is fine.
Try hiding slides in your project as per suggestions in this post:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/basic-troubleshooting-tech niques
It may be that the corruption is limited to one or more slides and you can resolve it by rebuilding those slides. -
Some PDFs not working in Preview. Mac created PDFS work but windows created PDFS dont
Some PDFs not working in Preview. I installed adobe reader and then deleted it because the software was aweful and PDFs have been haveing issues ever since. I can open up PDFs created on my Mac in preview just fine...
But when I try and open a PDF created on a windows computer it says:
"Please wait...

I am not sure why where the PDF was created would make a difference but couldnt help but notice that was the difference between the PDF files that work and the ones that give that message. I can view the PDFs on a windows computer just fine and never had issues untill adobe, it seems to have messed up PDFs on my Mac and I am so frustrated with them. I have searched my computer for any remaining adobe files, deleted them and restarted my computer but I am still getting this message.Uninstall Adobe Reader's plug-in.
Remove the following two files from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/:

Links not working when I export to HTML or PDF
I am a longtime Mac fanatic, but new to using Keynote. I am creating lectures for a class I teach where the computer in the classroom is Windows, so I have to export my Keynotes to another format.
First I tried exporting to Powerpoint. That was a disaster. Since, I've tried exporting to HTML, exporting to PDF, and print -> Save as PDF (to get a PDF that prints nicely).
My problem? Hyperlinks within my Keynote work fine when I play the presentation in Keynote. They also work when I export to PDF. However, they do not work when I generate the printable PDF OR when I export to HTML.
I guess I understand them not working in the printable PDF, but not the HTML. Am I doing something wrong?
Ideally I would like to export one PDF that I could use up on the projecter (with links working) and that students could view and/or print from their computers.
Should I really have to have 2 PDF's - one for students who want to view it on screen with working links and one for people that want to print it out?!?!
TIA for any help/advice!Do you have any filters applied to your clips?
This happened to me before, I accidently had applied a broadcast safe filter to a color matte that was black....
I figured it out by duplicating my sequence and deleting items from my timeline 1 by 1 until I was able to export a reference movie.
Anywho, export again, this time with "self contained" movie selected.
Then try to import to Compressor. -
Recorded Animations Not Working In Presenter (8.0.1)
My animation timings are not working when published to Presenter (8.0.1). Narration timing is good, but all the animations simply manifest one after the other, not as I recorded them as I clicked through (and yes each one is set for "click"). I also have the playback option set for "Use PPTX Slide Time"
It may be related to the the first animation set to with previous. There is a known issue with Presenter when dealing with slides that have a mix of on-click and with/after previous animations:
Adobe Presenter audio cannot be synchronized correctly with animations if a slide contains a mix of on-click animations and after/previous animations.
Workaround: For the Adobe Presenter audio to sync correctly, ensure that all animations on a slide are on-click animations.
The most commonly seen issues with Presenter can be found here: http://helpx.adobe.com/presenter/kb/top-issues-presenter-8.html
The best option may be to elminate animation elements untill you can identify the one that is causing the issue. I suppose it could be something like the object that is animated (I've seen non JPEG/GIF images do odd things) is not converting to Flash properly. I don't believe it is the animation, as the fade-in animation has worked for years. -
AS3 not working when uploaded to linux server
Works like a charm when I preview it but when I upload to the
server (tried 3 different ones) it just ignore the actionscripts
all together no matter what I use.
What I have is a rotating banner system. I set it up to
randomly start at a specific one. If I preview it locally or run in
in my .html file locally (just using preview in dreamweaver) it
works like a charm and starts at a random one. When I upload it it
just starts at the first one like the actionscripts do not exist.
Using Flash CS3 and AS3.
ThanksPretty sure it is not a problem with the upload as I have
been doing this for years the same way with Dreamweaver. In
diagnosing the issue I rebuilt it and in place of the movie clips I
just put text and uploaded it. Worked like a charm. Added the movie
clips and again does not work when I upload it. Ignores the
actionscript and just plays them in order. Did a build from top to
bottom and from bottom to top also. Something in the movie clips is
causing it but darned if I can find the answer. I have done this
same thing before and it worked just fine. Just at a loss. I am
attaching the code inside the movie scripts which work just fine.
It is just ignoring scripts on the Scene 1 level. -
Excel Functions Do Not Work When Data Source is BW
Hello,
My platform is, BOBJ BI 4.0. Data source is SAP BW. BW is connected to XCelsius with BEx. My problem is, excel functions do not work when data source is BW. For example, Excel cell A1=quantity1 B1= quantity2 C1= excel function "=A1+B1" When data source is Excel, for example A1=5, B1=9 C1 automatically equals to 14. (There is no problem when data source is Excel) But, in BW, for example when BW set values to A1=5, B1=9, the system does not calculate C1. C1 always equals to initial value, the system does not care any excel calculation when data source is BW. Any guess for my problem? Thank you for your effort.Hi,
As you are using very simple formula,it will work no matter which source you are consuming.As mentioned,try to place a simple component(Eg:spreadsheet),just to check whether you are getting the right calculated value or not.
As you are using BW as source,the Preview option will not show the runtime data,so you need to publish in Portal to check whether the calculation happened or not.
As far as I know only few fromulas are supported in Xcelsius,but these kind of simple formulas are very much supported.

I added preset motions to my interactive pdf file. It's not working when I export my file as an interactive pdf. It's working when I play it on the Preview panel. I must not be doing something right. Does anybody have any clue what I need to do to have my presets motions work when played on Acrobat
So do you mean export the whole document in a swf file format and then bring the whole swf file in and save it as a pdf file. Is there way to export these motion presets seperately and bring them back into Indesign. I wish it was less difficult but I guess there is no way around it for the time being.
