Captivate 7 Web Object Not Scrolling on iPad

I've inserted a web object in to my project and filled it with text so that it requires scrolling. The project has been published as HTML5 with no scalable HTML content.
Scrolling works fine on PC but not on iPad (iOS 7). I'm guessing that this is down to the usual iFrame issues on iOS devices so I'm looking for a reliable way to get around this issue.
I'd be grateful if anyone has any suggestions.
As an aside, the main reason I'm looking to implement a web object is that I need to be able to style individual words within large amounts of text. Unfortunately this doesn't seem possible using the scrollable text interaction so I've had to resort to searching for an alternative solution, in this case pulling in an external HTML file with styled text in it. The full discussion is here for anyone who's interested: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5775245#5775245
Thanks.

Does your Web Interaction show "Updated" on it? If not, you probably have older version of it. Apparently, the issue is already fixed in the updated version. Here is a screenshot.
You get this updated version automatically. If not, you can contact any Adobe support staff and they will provide you one.

Captivate 7 web object not scrolling properly iPad multiscreen.html

I have a Captivate 7 project published as both SWF and HTML5. The project is to be deployed via an LMS using multiscreen.html.
The issue that I have is that I have a web object that requires scrolling but when I view multiscreen.html on my iPad I am required to scroll horizontally with my finger to achieve vertical scrolling of my web object, any attempt to scroll vertically just causes the web bouce effect in Safari. If I view the project via index.html on my iPad, scrolling works as expected with vertical scrolling behaving properly and no web bounce.
It seems as though multiscreen.html is getting the orientation of the device confused but that's just a guess. Has anyone else encountered this and if so, do they have a workaround that they can share please?
Many thanks.

I've found that updating the file called 'Widget_40080.htm' with the highlighted section in the following image fixes the scrolling issue on iPad.

Why Does Adobe Captivate 8 Web Object Not Get Published Correctly

Hi
I am trying to insert a YouTube video in Adobe Captivate and publish it. While it previews fine, when i publish it as an SWF, i see just a blank frame.
Can you help out here? Also, if I want to publish it as an PDF, will the video play there too?
Warm Regards
Akshay

Hi Akshay,
I am assuming the method you are using now is embedding Youtube videos into your Web object. My suggestion is it will be much easier if you use the Youtube Learning Interaction instead of a Web object to insert Youtube videos to your Captivate project.
This can be found in the Interactions Toolbar -> Learning Interactions -> Youtube
Also, as Sreekanth mentioned, please test it on a web server, or SCORM cloud.
Youtube interaction will work when exported to PDF as well.
Regards,
Mohana

Web Object not visible in published project

I'd like to use the new web object interaction widget in Captivate 7 to embed a website into a project. Everything works fine as long as I only preview the project in my web browser. But when I publish it and go to the slide where the web object is supposed to be, there's only a blank space. Why?
I've published the project in SWF-Format with eLearning-output set to "AdobeConnect". I tried to switch the option "Scalable HTML content" on and off as I heared that some people are having problems using this in connection with widgets, but no matter whether it's turned on or of, the web object doesn't show up. There must be something very
trivial that I have overlooked since I'm using the web object in the standard way it is meant to be used.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Andreas

Thanks for your advice, but it still doesn't work. I have created a new project for my tests with only the web object in it to make sure no other objects etc. are influencing the output. I published the project and tried to run it on different browsers/operating systems and directly from my hard drive vs. Adobe Connect. The results:
Using my Mac and opening the project with the HTM.-file from my hard drive after I have added the published files folder to the trusted locations for Flash (without this setting, it doesn't work), the web object only appears in Safari, but not in Chrome and Firefox. Using AdobeConnect, it's the same: only Safari.
Using a Windows laptop (again opening the project with the HTM.-file from my hard drive after I have added the published files folder to the trusted locations for Flash), it works with Internet Explorer and Firefox, but not with Chrome. Using AdobeConnect, no browser works. I only get this message:
I can't use the web object when it only loads under very special circumstances. Moreover, I found out, that checking the "Scale HTML content" checkbox in the publish window results in a totally misplaced web widget in those browsers that support the web object. It then looks like this:
I use this option regularly, so this is really a problem for me.
I hope you can tell, what I can do to get the web object running. I simply can't believe that this is the standard behaviour and that everybody else is experiencing the same problems. There must be something I can do to get it running.
I hope you can help.
Best Regards
Andreas

Web object not resizing with presentation

I've added a web object in my elearning and published as a flash presentation. When I resize the browser window, the flash presentation resizes, but the web object does not resize. My users will have various screen sizes, so I need the web object to display proportionally to the project size.
I'm using a flash widget, so I cannot publish as HTML5.
Thank you for any help or assistance.

Hi there, unfortunately I don't have the answer but I'd like to support your question as I'm having exactly the same issue.
Cheers,
Dan

Adobe Captivate - Web Objects

Im having a problem publishing web objects in a Captivate project. When creating, the web objects are working in the preview mode, but show blank after publishing.

I am assuming you are referring to Web Object interaction here. Upload your course to a web server or SCORM Cloud and check if you still get the same error.

Adobe Captivate 7- Event Video not connecting & Web Object not working

Greetings all. I hope you may be able to assist me. I am subscribed to Adobe Captivate 7. I am running Windows 7 on a 32 bit computer. The system is set up on a business network and I have verified the installation of Captivate is accurate and up to date.
I am experiencing an issue:
1. When adding an Event Video (Video> Insert Video> Event Video> Already deployed to a web server...) using the URL I received the following message: "Failed to load the video file. The file path or URL may be invalid..." This HTML file path leads directly to the video on our internal shared docing port.
Currently, the only way I can add a video is to use the Muti-Slide Synchronized Video option. I do not like using this option because there are no play or stop buttons. The video simply plays with no option to pause.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Angelique

Hello and welcome,
Is Captivate installed on the network? That can cause a lot of problems, same as when you have My Documents installed on the network. Please have both on your system. Moreover, do launch it as an Administrator?

I am trying to turn off the Voice Over and can not scroll the IPAD to the accessibility tab

I am not sure how but the Voice Over on my IPAD came on. I have read that if I go to the settings, General, Acessibility I should be able to turn it off. I am unable to scroll the touch screen to the Acessibllity tab. thanks

Connect your iPad to iTunes on your computer.
Under the Summary tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, at the bottom select Configure Universal Access. Turn it off there and select OK.

Long web page not scroll-able

I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well - one of the websites i use frequently is a database - when i pull it up on my computer, the page is much longer than the screen, and you just scroll down to the record you need.
When i access this page on my iphone, it only loads as much of the page as fits on the screen . . . it's not possible to scroll down to the rest of the page.
I use this database a LOT . . . any ideas on how to access the whole thing??

KatieCr1,
The database information could be within a Frame that is sizing to fit the viewable screen. Try scrolling with 2 fingers on the screen to scroll a frame as discussed in this article:

Captivate 7 Screen Captures (scrolling) not showing when published in HTML5

I am using Captivate 7 and when I publish in HTML5 my screen captures (of the screen scrolling) do not show -- I get a blank screen for a couple of seconds --, even though they show when I preview for the Web in HTML5. They also show when I play them locally, but not from my server. Here is a link to a short video that has this problem -- click the fast forward button seven times after clicking play to get to a screen scroll. http://streaming.missioncollege.org/library/media/Tutorials/Title/index.html

I was using Internet Explorer 9. This morning I tried 10 & 11 with the same results. It works fine in Chrome and on a Mac with Safari. I do not have my iPad with me today, but I tried it this weekend and had the same problem, though I just updated my OS, so I will try again. If it does not work well on an iPad then I might as well output as FLASH. I will try my iPad again tonight and report back tomorrow. Thanks.

Web-object interaction/widget does not appear in published slideshow

I added the web-object interaction/widget using my notes from the instructions in the relevant Lynda.com video (as the Captivate 7 User Guide makes no mention of the web page widget, web-object widget, web object widget, web-object interaction, web-page interaction, web page interaction, or webpage interaction).
The web-object interaction, or web-object widget (or whatever you choose to call the thingie that should provide the user of the published project slideshow with direct interaction with a web page from within one of the slides), it sometimes works in preview; may have worked once when published; but otherwise does not appear on the slide.
On its not appearing in either the published HTML document or the SWF file:
--I had a Continue button on the slide, and tried removing that.
This did not help.
--Because the web-object interaction/widget automatically sets the slide's action on entrance to "Pause," I tried setting it to "No action" (thinking that the slide, being pause on entrance, might never get to the web-object widget/interaction).
This did not help.
--I thought that perhaps navigating in the slide show with various "Jump to slide" settings, I would watch it without navigation.
This did not help.
Any help will be appreciated.

In the published folder, I noticed a SWF called stagewebview. I guess this file has got something to do with Web Object interaction. When we link to published HTML file, this SWF is getting called automatically. But in your case since you are linking to published SWF file, the web object interaction SWF is not getting called. So, is it not possible for you to link it to HTM file?

TOC slide bar/scroll bar not showing on iPad

Captivate 8
HTML5/SWF output with scalable HTML content
iPad Safari
Desktop Safari and FireFox
Hello.
We've noticed that the TOC slide bar/scroll bar is not displaying via iPad. It does show Desktop via Safari and FireFox. Is there a setting we have missed perhaps?
Many thanks

Depending on your issue, making an appoint will be offered as an option by choosing "Take in for Service" (see http://www.macrumors.com/2014/11/07/apple-genius-bar-online/). Of course, you could also just try calling your local Apple store.

Web Object in Captivate is off slide

I am trying to publish a web object into swf, but the object skews off the slide. Anyone see this before?

TLCMediaDesign, Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure I understand your question. This is the view of the file within an LMS. The view is post-export, showing as Flash. The web object inside the working Captivate file is set within the working area, so smaller than the project size. When in Captivate, the web object size is well within the work area. But after export, it looks as the screenshot above. Does that make sense?

Can I use JavaScript to force objects to overlap a Web Object in Captivate 7?

Hi, so I have all of these great ideas for using Web Objects to enhance my courses, but am discouraged by the fact that I can't seem to get anything to overlap a Web Object. The only thing I can seem to get to overlap a Web Object is another Web Object. I have found that buttons seem to still work under the Web Object (which is good) but I really would like to know of a way to allow things on the Captivate timeline to be viewed on top of them. Things like text fields and images.
I've seen posts about how to use JavaScript to have the menu show above Web Objects, but that code doesn't seem to work for regular objects. I read that Web Objects sit in an "<iframe>" tag and that that forces it to appear above everything else. I'm left wondering if it is possible to get around this by somehow putting Captivate objects in an <iframe> of their own with JavaScript? Or is there some other way? Does anybody know any JavaScript I can apply to Captivate objects to get them to appear above a Web Object?
Thanks,
Dan

So I have come to learn that the "<iframe>" tag for a Web Object is simply a window that sits on top of the course. Now I'm wondering if anyone has an effective method for importing flash quality animation (in whatever form) that can sit underneath of Captivate objects and still be HTML5 compliant?
Thanks,
Dan

How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

Hello and thanks for the answer.
I meant by "not compatible" that all the solutions that I found on the web did not work, especially the "Microsoft exchange" one.
Fortunately I found on the comments of the first website you mentioned the right answer for me, which I copy below:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
Enter the following information in the fields:
Server: google.com
User Name: Enter your full Google email address
Password: Your Google account password
Select Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically.
Additional Information
Note: Make sure that SSL is enabled (under Advanced settings), and that the port is 443.
If you are using application based special password go to https://accounts.google.com/Se... and instead of your password put that special code and u r done.
