Captivate and Chrome issues

I'd like to return to the discussion about problems with Google Chrome. My Captivate 7 eLearning starts to play (from Adobe Connect) and then virtually closes itself out and disappears during the second screen. Is there particular issues with Captivate and Google Chrome? My co-workers also cannot run Captivate eLearning on Chrome, while things are fine on Firefox or Safari. Is this a general issue with others, and if so, what can be done about it?

Perhaps it's some setting that needs to be clicked? Everyone on my team has problems with the eLearning playing in Google Chrome, while Firefox and Safari are no problem at all. The file literally closed on it's own for me. Poof! Gone! While playing in Google Chrome.
I am using version 7.0.1.237. This is not a new problem for us. Google Chrome has always been problematic. I should also say that it makes no difference if the eLearning is being viewed on a Mac or on a PC. As long as it's playing in Google Chrome, it either won't play for long or it just stalls out.
Thank you for your help.

IE 7 and Chrome issues with flash buttons

Hi,
I have found a problem with swf files in IE7 and Chrome.
The swf buttons animate as normal, but when I click them to open a new HTML page nothing happens.
I tested IE8 and Firefox and everything is fine.
Strangely IE7 and Chrome worked fine about a month ago, but not now for some reason.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks

There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

Stock browser and Chrome issues

I have two issues with the browsers in my A1000-F.
1. In the stock browser, sites such as MSN.com do not render completely and result to washed out text and photos.
2. In Chrome, all sites are shaky when scrolling.
I know these are fragmentation issues but are there any fixes for these problems? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since I've got this only for $75 last Black Friday. I'm not complaining much about its limitations. After all it's still workable.

Captivate and HTML issues in Flash Builder / Air App

I have a Flash Builder project that includes an HTML component and several Captivate SWFs that play in another window of the app. If I do not have the HTML component on, all works fine. However, when I add the HTML component, I get the following error when I go from one Captivate SWF to another:
Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.html::HTMLLoader/throwIllegalMethod()
at flash.html::HTMLLoader/getChildByName()
at com.adobe.captivate.main::cpMovieController/restoreFocusObject()
at com.adobe.captivate.main::cpMovieController/skipFrames()
at com.adobe.captivate.main::cpMovieController/movieonEnterFrame()
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to suppress the Captivate movie from calling the restoreFocusObject or how to suppress the error? I have tried using the HTMLUncaughtScriptExceptionEvent handler but that is not capturing it.
Thanks!

Instead of using the File object, try URLRequest instead:
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Special_Assignment_Title.flv");
ns.play(urlReq.url);

Are there any compatibility issues with Captivate and OS X Yosemite?

Has anyone noted any compatibility issues with Captivate and Yosemite?

I had the same issue. Updating resolved this as well.
I tested with Captivate 7 and almost everything seemed to work fine. I tested with an existing project file containing TEB's, Motion recording, a third party drag 'n drop widget, and a playbar with a TOC. This all seemed to work fine both in preview mode as after publishing. I also tested with Captivate 6 although I didn't publish anything. Here, everything seemed to work fine as well. However this was only SWF.
As jpm226 described for 8, previewing HTML5 doesn't seem to work with Captivate 6 and 7 either. Chrome gives a "This webpage is not available" notification. Publishing however, does seems to work.
Fortunately, the client we work for that asks us to use Captivate 7, also asks for SWF output. So I'll continue to use Yosemite for now.

I have a basic applet method timing problem with Firefox (and Chrome), not IE nor Opera. Works if JavaScript issues windows.alert() prior, fails otherwise.

I have an applet method, which is invoked from a JavaScript function, that is triggered by the window.onload event. The problem seems to center in the loading of the applet and its methods.
If I step through the 3 applet acceptance prompts (I chose to use a down-level Java), the applet method is never invoked, nor is an exception raised. How this happens is beyond my understanding.
As additional information, the Init(), start(), and "desired" Java methods all use the synchronized keyword. This is an attempt to minimize the exposure to a multi-thread environment.
If I issue a message from JavaScript (via window.alert()) PRIOR to invoking the method, I can get the desired results in special circumstances:
1) When the alert is presented, Firefox also prompts, SIMULTANEOUSLY, to block/continue the applet (the first of the 3 applet acceptance prompts). I can accept that these are separate threads.
2a) If I walk through the 3 applet acceptance prompts FIRST, and then hit the OK button on the alert message SECOND, I get the desired results, my applet method executes, and all is well (other than the fact that I would prefer not to have the alert in place at all).
2b) If I hit the OK button on the alert message FIRST, and then walk through the 3 applet acceptance prompts SECOND, I get the same results as when the page loads WITHOUT the alert, which is the applet method is never invoked, nor is an exception raised. Weird, huh?
The above problem only occurs when the browser and the applet's URL are loaded for the first time.
Subsequent invocations (after the page & applet has been loaded initially) do not have the failing symptoms.
It is my understanding that IE and Firefox (and Chrome and Opera, for that matter) each use the same implementation of JavaScript provided by Microsoft. Please correct me if this information is inaccurate.
The failing page and it's applet are proprietary; I cannot provide the Internet URL, nor the Java or JavaScript source, to aid in your analysis.

I can speak to the source code, but have no access to it.
The current process/thread that invokes an applet method must check to see that the applet is not currently being loaded by another process/thread. If it is being loaded, the current process/thread should block until the load is complete, THEN attempt to invoke the applet method.
Please forward my concern to a knowledgable developer. The nature of the problem, once identified, can be addressed in a very straightforward manner.

Some images do not display in browser, iPad Air 2. When I load a page with several jpgs (one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Website issue or iPad?

I have just bought an iPad, partly to check that my websites work OK on mobile devices. When I load a page with several jpgs (e.g. one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown. If I remove the large one, that sometimes fixes the problem. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Is this a website issue or iPad?

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I'm using a new Wordpress theme that is meant to be responsive. The large image is for a header, than you scroll down to see the rest, one by one. Some one the pages work OK on my iPad, typically the old ones where the maximum image size was 500 x 500. It's the new pages and those I've updated that are causing the problem. On the iPad the large image loads, then a couple of the small ones become visible as I scroll down, but then darkness (rather like my knowledge level).
Being new to IOS and iPads, I'm trying to work out whether I should be looking here, or amongst the Wordpress stuff for a solution.
Here's the website with its new theme: http://www.new-zealand-pictures.com/

MOSS 2007 gives cross browser compatabity issue on firefox and chrome and also in higher version of IE (9 & 11)

I am getting browser compatablity issue when MOSS 2007 is used on IE 9 & 11 and on other browsers like firefox and chrome.
I also face issue while using the latest version of third party Intersoft WebUI 2014 R2 controls. Although the older version of Intersoft WebUI 2008 controls were working fine with MOSS in IE7 browser. But recently WebGrids are not loading
properly and the WebCombo dropdowns doesn't work. After apporaching the Intersoft on tis issue they said their latest version of Intersoft is compatible with MOSS 2007.
In this process of upgrade I learnt that the Intersoft Sample which comes with their setup can be run on Visual Studio 2010 and above. So I would like to know whether MOSS 2007 support VS 2010 or not.
Accepting response on my queries.

You've posted this in the wrong forum. 2007 questions should go into the SharePoint legacy forum.
This thread discussed 2007 browser support:

Visual Studio 2010 will let you build tools for SharePoint 2007 however I'm not familiar with what you're trying to do or what intersoft webui does.

Captivate 6 is Crashing when inserting click boxes and other issues

Desperately need help because I have never seen anything like this. I use Captivate 6 in the workplace and have not run into an issue like this in the 9 years I have used Captivate.
Captivate will not open any new projects (800 x 600 or 640 x 480 etc.) Nothing happens. When I open 1024 x 768 (the project size I have been using for the last year), a new project will open but when I try to add a click box, I get an error message "A fatal error has occurred and the application is being terminated. Adobe Captivate tried to save all your work int he respective project folders as "cpbackup" files. Please restart Captivate. This has only been happening for a week.
When a coworker or IT employee signs onto my computer under their profile, Captivate works fine for them. I went to another co-workers desk who has Captivate and when I sign on her computer under my profile, I have the same problem so we figured my work profile was corrupt. IT set up a new profile 2 separate times, I have uninstalled and re-installed 3 or 4 time and nothing works. We are on a network but Captivate is installed on my C:Drive and I save all my files on the C:Drive.
The odd thing is if can open up files I have worked on this past year (even up to 2 weeks ago), they are fine and I can insert click boxes without any problems. It just happens when I try to create a new file.
We have Adobe volume licenses at work so I can not call and get support and none of us can figure this out. I would be really grateful for some help!!
Thanks,
Jeff

Flash not working in Safari (and Chrome and Firefox) - possible solution

Yesterday my Mac crashed (actually when I was away from it) and when it rebooted, Adobe Flash would freeze any web browser it ran in (Safari, Firefox and Chrome - which surprised me as I thought it used a different version of Flash). Great with so many live-blogs happening in the world of news right now.
I tried all the usual suspects:
* Deleted browser caches;
* Uninstalled Flash (Adobe have an uninstaller available) and reinstalled the same version;
* Uninstalled Flash and reinstalled the newest version;
* Made sure I had no duplicate fonts (I did) as I'd experienced problems with this with an iPhoto upgrade;
* Checked recent upgrades (iWeb and Camera updates) to see what they installed (nothing dangerous);
* Fixed permissions (they needed it);
* Tried running Safari under 32-bit (didn't think that would work as I hadn't updated Flash itself);
* Signed in as another user.
None worked.
As a last resort, I downloaded the latest version of the Onyx utility (freeware) and ran the Maintenance scripts, then, under Cleaning, deleted System cache, User cache, Internet stuff (left the cookies), and Font caches (you'll need to Close all the dialog boxes then Restart at the end). Expect a long reboot.
That worked.
It may not work for everyone but may for someone.
Scott

I was having the same issue. I logged into another account, a plain no add-ons account and found that I could view flash content with Safari OK. That mean that there was some preference file in my primary account that was the culprit.
Here's how to cull out the bad apple (pun intended):
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
This cleared it up. I ended up with 16 items that were not put back in the preference folder.
Hope this will work for some of you.
Do you Twango?

Flash not running in FF but runs in IE and Chrome

What about embedding it yourself?
Create empty HTML file, download swfobject.js: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/downloads/list
And use this block of code. Of course, change name of swf file, width and height. Unpack swfobject.js right next to the html file.

JQuery/Javascript not working on Firefox and Chrome

Hi guys, I've had this Jquery/Javascript on my page for a long time. This has stopped working. If the user clicks on buttons on the Apex page, nothing happens.
It works on IE but doesn't work on Firefox and Chrome. It used to work fine.
Is there anything I can change to make it work on all 3 browsers?
Firefox error console shows a syntax error at this point in the script:
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
Please can someone help?
This is the full script:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var itemChanged = false;
$(document).ready(function(){
var $items = $(':input');
var $htmlButtons = $(':button[id]');
var $templateButtons = $(':button[class]');
var $allButtons = $($htmlButtons).add($templateButtons);
$items.change(function() {
itemChanged = true;
$templateButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return $(this).attr('onclick').toString().split('\n')[2];
$htmlButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return this.id;
$allButtons.removeAttr('onclick');
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
$('a').click(function(event){
if ($(this).children('img[id="P&APP_PAGE_ID._DATE_PICKER_IMG"]').length > 0) {
event.preventDefault();
eval($(this).attr('href'));
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if (itemChanged) {
return 'You have made changes to data on this page. If you navigate away from this page without first saving your data, the changes will be lost.';
//]]>
</script>
Thanks

JavaScript doesn't work on any site at all? If particular sites are the issue, or you get specific error messages, please let us know.
Usually the only two ways to disable JavaScript in Firefox are:
(1) Options dialog > Content tab<br>
(2) NoScript add-on (or other security-related add-ons)
Normally Safe Mode bypasses issues caused by add-on problems or non-default settings, so it's worth considering external issues.
Does JavaScript work normally in any other browsers you have installed?

SharedObject and Caching issues

Background:
     I am working on a project where I am using sharedObject to store data for a favorites list. The project contains 2 swfs, one in AS 3.0 (using Flex 4.5) and the other an AS 2.0 flash 8 project. Basically the AS 2.0 project read and writes data to the shared object and the AS 3.0 project just reads the data.
Setup:
     OS: Windows 7
     Flash Player: 10.3     Browsers: IE 9, IE 8, Chrome 14, and some misc Firefox testing -- Chrome seems to be working the best.
Problems:
     First off it has been extremely hard to get consistent results across different computers so if anyone has a suggestion as to why that would be (other than different browsers, different flash player versions, different flash player settings/global settings and different OS versions) because I have been making sure all that stuff is consistent across devices for testing purposes.
     1. It appears that some computers/browers won't store the shared object at all even though everything to allow it is turned on.
     2. Some computers/browsers will store it, but won't update until I refresh the page
General Questions:
     1. Is the storage of sharedObject object data in a .sol file configured the same in both AS 2.0 and AS 3.0 and if so, would this be a means of communicating between two swfs running off the same domain?
     2. Is it possible to have a browser cache sharedObject data(the .sol file)?
      3. I have noticed as new flash player releases are coming out(especially recently i.e. 10.3) I have had to make a lot of repairs to the actionscipt 2 stuff. Is actionscript 2 support slowly being phased out? Is anyone else experiencing the same problems?
Possible Solutions/Findings:
     I am starting to believe that it has something to do with browser caching since Chrome seems to perform the best and Chrome has performed best when it comes to browser caching issues.
** code is available if needed but since it was working before I don't think it is relevant.

Hello,
#1
are you using explicit call to flush method immediately afer you're writing data to reference to SharedObject?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/SharedObject. html#flush()
If not you could have different data read by different browsers sessions run at the same time (e.g. IE/FireFox both hosting your test Flash movies) - as data are flushed only when given Flash runtime session is to be terminated (e.g. movie is to be unloaded) and in other cases as outlined in documentation.
#2
the SharedObject is reference to binary file stored on local machine by Flash runtime (Air runtime too). It has nothing similar to web-fetched content to be cached:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Shared_Object

Peter

Am not able to use facebook on my Iphone 4, softwareversion:iOS7.1, also tried to access through safari and chrome that i have installed it gives an error message saying: "safari could not open the page because server stopped responding", i tried network reset, reset the whole device, rebooting , changing airplane mode rebooting nothing fix the issue, but i can access other sites and google , am using Vodafone as my carrier with 2g network, when at home able to access facebook.com through wifi in safari requesting assistance thank you

If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier. You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

Flash buttons not working in IE7 and Chrome

Here's my website where the problem is occuring www.bakercreative.co.uk
As you can see the Flash buttons animate, but when clicked they should go to a new html page.
I've tested it in IE8 and Firefox without any problems but it's not working in IE7 and Chrome.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Could it be the html code or the flash file itself?
Thanks

Hi, Glad you were able to solve that issue with the buttons and Chrome. Any small thing can cause big problems!! LOL
I'm sure IE7 will test out ok, IE6 did Your website is very nice and has a variety! I hope it all comes together for you.
Thanks,
