Captivate Flash and JavaHelp output

According to Adobe, I should be able to view Captivate Flash
files when using the JavaHelp single-source output. However, the
.swf files are still not playing when I generate the JavaHelp
source. I am also getting an I/O Exception error during output
generation. I am using RoboHelp 7 and I have inserted Captivate 3
.swf files.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make this work?
Thanks.

I'm sorry that I do not have an answer to your issue, but I
am interested on how you have created the wrapper. I am trying to
figure out how to load my captivate movies onto my SCORM 1.2
compliant LMS and I am a bit stumped. Can you share what you did?
Thanks, Fbudd

What happened to Preferences/Advanced/Enable Playback of Flash Tracks

In the past, to make a .mov work in Windows, i selected
"Enable Playback of Flash Tracks" in Preferences/Advanced
My .mov file will not play in QT 7.4.5 and wonder if the loss of this feature is the reason

7.3.1, and above, no longer allow/support .swf (Flash) media inside QuickTime containers.
Security issues.

Playback of Flash Tracks

*I work in a school district and we recently upgraded to QuickTime 7.2. We also are using Kid Pix 4. We have discovered that the stickers and animation in Kid Pix no longer work after the Quick Time upgrade. I have found the following information on the Kid Pix support site:*
_+"Stickers and Animation do not appear (Windows®)+_
+When attempting to add a sticker or animation to a project in Kid Pix® Deluxe 4, the handles for the object show in the workspace, but the sticker or animation does not appear. Updating to Apple® Quicktime® 7.1.3 can cause this behavior. A setting in Quicktime® will need to be adjusted. Review the remainder of this technical note for additional information.+
+Perform the following steps to adjust Quicktime® 7.1.3 to work properly with Kid Pix® Deluxe 4:+
+Close all programs and windows and return to the desktop.+
+Click the Start button and select Control Panel. The Control Panel window will appear. If the Control Panel is showing in category view, click the Switch to Classic View link. (Windows® XP)+
+Double-click on the Quicktime icon. Quicktime Preferences will display.+
+Click the Advance tab. Additional options will appear.+
+Place a check in the box labeled Enable Playback of Flash Tracks and click Apply. The Quicktime Preferences window and Quicktime Player may be closed.+
+Launch and use Kid Pix® Deluxe 4. The stickers and animations will appear correctly."+
*My problem is that it only fixes it for the current person logged in.*
*Our students do not have access to the control panel, and they are volitile users (meaning they are deleted upon logout).*
*Do you know if there is a registry key we could use to make that change for all users?*

Don't know if you figured it out yet, but I was in the exact same situation. (Am using DLUs, students are volatile, Teacher/Administrative are non-volatile.)
Here's how I fixed it:
Logged in using my admin account to set the preferences for QT the way I wanted them. Copied the quicktime.qtp file from my local account's directory to someplace accessible by all (I used x:\Kid Pix 3 Network Server\WSinstall" directory". (NOTE: the quicktime.stp file is not stored in the "defaultuser", or "All users" local USERPROFILES, but the local user's USERPROFILES directory)
Every time a user runs KidPix 4 I make sure that file gets copied over to: "c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\Quicktime\"
I just did a batch file in the "Lauch Scripts" in ZENworks to "Run before Launching". It copies the quicktime.qtp file to where it needs to be (see batch file info below).
Also, I didn't have to do an install at each workstation for the client by actually running client install. I installed it once, then copied the directory to the "WSinstall" directory mention above. When someone runs Kid Pix it looks to to see if the client files are on the local drive, if not, it just copies them over.
below is the batch file I use form within ZENworks:
@ECHO OFF
TITLE INSTALLING KID PIX 4 CLIENT, Please wait . . .
if exist "C:\Program Files\The Learning Company\KidPix 4 Network\KP.exe" GOTO END
ECHO Copying files . .
xcopy "X:\Kid Pix 4 Network Server\WSinstall\The Learning Company\KidPix 4 Network\." "C:\Program Files\The Learning Company\KidPix 4 Network\." /E /Y
:END
C:
MD "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
CD "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
xcopy "X:\Kid Pix 4 Network Server\WSinstall\QuickTime.qtp" /Q /Y
xcopy "X:\Kid Pix 4 Network Server\WSinstall\KP.cfg" "C:\Program Files\The Learning Company\KidPix 4 Network\." /E /Y
(The KP.cfg file lets you configure auto-login and default save locations, see tech notes 41047 and 41581 at support.riverdeep.net.)

Adobe Captivate Flash Buttons in Moodle

I am using flash SWF files to control Captivate Course in Moodle and I have trouble with CLOSE pop up window flash button. It works in IE and FIrefox but not in Chrome and OPERA when course is opened via Moodle. I have created simple html page with link that opens pop up window containing the same course and this way the button works in all browsers. ????? Again, in MOOdle it doesn't.
In Chrome Developer Tools I have tracked this error when clicking on close pop up window flash buttom: Ignoring cross-frame javascript URL load requested by plugin.
The button itself is using this AS3:
pbcExit_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myBtnClicked);
function myBtnClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()"), "_parent");
Does anyone have a clue what is the problem?
Thank you,
Vito

When importing a flash animation into captivate flash will not call external files

Is there a way to import flash into captivate and it still be able to call external files (ie. sound, video xml)? When I import flash into captivate it will not call any external file.

Hi all
Wow, I was so hoping fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst would pop in on this thread.
Why? Well, Paul sent me a way cool gizmo a while back that hacked the Info button. It used an external file for some of the information! So somehow Paul managed to sort what it took to insert a Flash object into Captivate and have that object extract data from an externally located file.

RE: captivate flash video output may not be proper

flash video cannot be loaded. the output may not be proper
What does this mean? I am inserting .flv files so why do I
get this message when I try to publish captivate projects? What can
I do about it?

I stumbled across a solution to this in a moment of desperation. If you put the video file back into Adobe media encoder and convert it to an FLV (even if the file is already an FLV), then it seems to sort itself out.
When you insert a video file, like an mp4, captivate automatically configures it as an FLV so my assumption is that the "not proper" error happens because of something (bad magic, maybe) during this process. Since discovering this I always encode videos as FLVs in Adobe Media encoder before inserting them into the captivate file. Not had a problem like this since (touch wood).

Adobe Captivate 4 - Tracking AICC to the LMS issue

Hi,
I created a Captivate 4 Quiz; I published the Quiz with the AICC reporting option and as a result Captivate 4 created the files shown below:
I hosted all these files in the same server, same folder, and same domain where the Isoph Blue (Learn Something) LMS is installed. I also published the course from the LMS and it seems to be OK.
When participants login and launch the course from the LMS the course works very well. All questions are shown, correct and incorrect answers are also shown at the end. The quiz window is closed at the end without problem.
The issue is that there is not notification to the LMS of course completion, the Icon (located on the right of the image shown below) that tells the participant course is completed does not change the status. It does not change from Launch to Print Certificate status.
The Captivate is not tracking correctly course completion to the LMS. So, we can not track user activity neither print the certificate at the end of the course.
Can you please help me troubleshoot this issue?
What can I do to make this course completion notification works with the LMS?
I can provide more information, files and details on how I created the course, etc.
Note: Isoph Blue is AICC compatible, there are other (*.aspx) courses that are tracked via AICC and they are tracked correctly, the issue is only with Captivate 4. We also have Captivate 3.

Hi there
I certainly cannot claim to be any sort of expert on the H.264 format, but Captivate 4 only produces SWF, EXE and AVI formats. So you are correct in that you would need to convert from either the SWF or AVI format to an H.264 format. From what I understand, AVI and MP4 are the two file extensions you may find H.264 file format used. So I suppose it's possible to say that if you have a CODEC (Compressor/Decompressor) installed for H.264, Captivate could spit out an AVI encoded in H.264 format.
More information on H.264 at the links below:

WikiPedia article on H.264 format
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Captivate flash no longer display in RoboHelp8

After updating to a 64bit Windows 7 pc with RoboHelp 8 (from XP RoboHelp 6), my captivate demos within RoboHelp no longer work. They run within the project but not when I run the .chm separately. It says "Loading multimedia control..." rather than playing the flash file. Any ideas? Thank you.

WElcome to our community
The issue here is that the CHM file is running in native 64 bit mode. The CHM uses bits of Microsoft Internet Explorer. So essentially you are using IE and the associated Flash Player/Add in to present Flash content. And as of this moment, there is no Flash Player for 64 bit systems.
Sorry, but the only workaround is to either figure out how to launch the CHM using the 32 bit system or to install a Virtual Machine and display the CHM from inside the VM.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate, Flash, & Authorware

I know you can import a published SWF file, but... Is it
possible to import a captivate or Flash 8 library directly into
Authorware?

Captivate/Flash Movie Starts Automatically

I'm learning to use RoboHelp X5 and tried placing an .swf
(Flash movie) that I created with Captivate within my WebHelp. In
Captivate I added a playback control bar (forward, pause, play,
etc.), which works great standalone. However, after generating the
WebHelp, when I view the page that the movie is on, the movie
starts automatically---actually it waits about 8 seconds, but then
just starts. I would expect the person viewing the movie to have to
use the playback control to manually start the movie. Is there an
option somewhere that I need to turn on/off?
Thanks,
John

Hi John and welcome to the community
There are two ways I'm aware of that can be used to
accomplish this.
The first and possibly simplest way is to simply insert a
click box at the very beginning of the movie. By default, click
boxes are configured to pause the movie until the user interacts by
clicking the click box area. Actually, if you are presenting your
movie in .EXE format, I believe this is the only way you can
accomplish it.
The second way is to configure the HTML code used in the HTML
Companion page. Obviously this only works if you are presenting
your movie in .SWF format and using the companion HTML page to
display the movie.
Captivate creates the following code when you create Flash
(SWF) output and select the Export HTML option.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01

</object>

If you amend this code by inserting <param name="play"
value="false" /> and play="false", you achieve the goal of
displaying the movie in a "paused to begin with" state.
Amended code is below

Captivate 5 - track groups of students.

Any answer/push in the right direction/thread would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using Captivate 5 and - internalServerReporting.php file to collect quiz results
Is there any way for more than one teacher to track the progress of separate groups of students on the same quiz?
For example: if 2 separate groups of students are taking the same quiz that's published to a web server, is there a way to differentiate between "group one" and "group 2" when collecting the data?
The only way for it to happen that I can think of is that the quiz has to be published under a separate names with quiz preferences (organization/department/course etc.) adjusted accordingly. However this can become fairly complex if the quiz is going to be taken by several classes in several schools.
I realize that this could be a complete noob question, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
There is another parallel solution, without acrobat.com, using an Internal server. Did you check that possibility?

Import Captivate Flash into Adobe Presenter

I'm using a combination of Captivate and Presenter to publish
online training to our intranet. I've successfully completed 3
learning modules, but this one's giving me a headache. It contains
3 separate Flash files, 2 of which originated with a Captivate
file. Those 2 don't play correctly once I've published the
Presenter file to our web server. The screen goes blank several
times during playback. I've never had this problem before. Is it a
memory issue? Is there some setting I can change, either when
publishing the Captivate file to Flash or in Adobe
Presenter?

Hi there rizakag
Double check to see if where the blank areas are happening
are tied to slides inside the Captivate project where full motion
clips are. (You should be able to tell by looking at the Film Strip
that runs along the left side of Captivate. Full motion slides
typically have a large Camcorder icon in the corner.)
If so, it would seem to indicate that Presenter is not
handling these external files properly and there are other hoops
you may need to jump through.
Give that a go and report back with your findings.
Cheers... Rick

Transparent background in Captivate Flash movie on all slides

hi im trying to make background transparent, and I've achieved it in first slide of presentation, but when slide changes the background changes to white.
Im using transparent png as tile in stage background and changed parameter in html file - so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
The presentation is in:
http://intersiec.com.pl/captivate/index.html
The source file:
http://intersiec.com.pl/captivate/szkolenie.cptx
Can You help me make whole presentation background transparent?
Best regards,
Kamil

Hi Erik
The fact so much time has passed since your first post would seem to indicate you have managed to stump all of us. LOL
I know way back around Captivate 1, 2 or 3 I would play with creating a transparent background, but I also recall that one of the versions seems to have unfortunately broken that.
Frankly, I'm surprised you are able to coax the initial load to be transparent. And about the only think I can think of to suggest here is to look at the properties for slide 2 forward and see what's different between them and the first slide. Master Page? Maybe by doing that you will find the "secret sauce". If you do, please share!
Cheers... Rick

Using Flash Learning Interactions in Captivate

Hi there,
I am developing a short practice quiz in Captivate, but for
one of the questions I want to use a Flash CS3 learning interaction
(the "Hot Spots" one). I get the Flash file built, import it into
Cpativate, and everything works.
Now for the big question - how do I get Captivate to track
the successful/unsuccessful action from this question in a quiz? I
want to present users with a results page at the end of the
practice quiz, but since this question is not built with a
Captivate question slide (like m/c, t/f, etc.), how can I track the
result and include it on the results slide at the end?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Shawn

Hi J and welcome to our community
There is no way (back door or otherwise) that I'm aware of to
do this. Unless, of course, you mean to use Flash 8 and export the
Flash in a version 6 format.
Hopefully we will see Flash 8 files working just dandy in
Captivate version 2.
Cheers... Rick
