Captivate into Authorware

I have been using Authorware and Captivate with one another
for years. Now that Captivate 2.0 has come out I am suddenly
running into problems importing the .swf files into Authorware.
Once the file is imported and I run the program, not only is the
simulation not working (clickboxes), but the "Project Created By:
Adobe Captivate 2.0" box is displayed on the screen. The only
buttons that do work are the buttons on the skin.
Does anyone have experience with this that can give some
insight?
Thanks.

Are you using ActiveX to play the Captivate movie? If not,
you probably
should, as the Asset Xtra doesn't support all the features of
Flash 7.

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?

Embedding an interactive flash into Authorware

I want to embed a flash interactive into Authorware (see:
http://www.cellsalive.com/meiosis.htm
In the past I embedded a basic Flash animation into
Authorware and it seem to work ok. I'm not sure of more complex
ones i.e. that have interactive controls etc. I assume its not so
simple as to embed into authorware. Is it the case that it is
doable, but requires some configuration/programming? Or does it
work be simply embedding the complex interactive flash into
authorware?
thanks in advance

If the flash file id published for player version 6 (or
earlier) then
you can embed it using the Flash Asset Xtra, probably in the
same way as
you have before. If it is a later version you will need to
use the
Flash player ActiveX control.

Retrieving the score value from the captivate into flash

Hi,
We have used Captive 2 to built course & publishing it as
a non e-learning output
and loading the published swf file in custom built flash
movie (wrapper).
We have accessed some of the captivate variables to control
the captivate swf.
Does anyone know how to retrieve the score value from the
captivate into flash ?
Thanks
Regards

Hello,
Use the Object Browser in .NET and search on "Summaryinfo" and you'll find the API to use.
Thank you

Is Adobe thinking in terms of taking Captivate into cloud?

Is Adobe thinking in terms of taking Captivate into cloud?

Thanks for the reply.
If I can modify the question to make it a little more pointed with your permission….
I work in the techpubs division of my company. Naturally, we use some Adobe products like FM, Captivate etc.
So, the question is, “Is Adobe planning to take FM, Robohelp, Captivate to the cloud as part of Adobe Technical communication suit?”

Captivate into webpage

I have a small sized Captivate project that I would like to
place into an already existing Dreamweaver web page. I would like
to control where in that page it is placed. Any tutorials or
advise. Thanks

The problem was with having one swf for the project and
another for the skin. Couldn't figure out how to get both on to an
html page and work. Found answer at
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=28
If you uncheck the show borders in the skin properties you
will only publish one swf. That swf can be placed anywhere you like
in an html dreamweaver page. Just be sure to save the html into the
same folder where the Captivate swf file is.
Hope this helps someone.

Imported captivates into a separate captivate, timing off

I have a slide that is meant to be an online interactive tool to determine "yes, or no" in 16 categories.
It is a table with 16 squares but I needed an animation that would allow the user to click and change each box from "no" to "yes" and back again.
I created a captivate that was 2 slides - a red "X" for no and a green checkmark for yes.
I then published this captivate as a flash / html5.
Then I created the main interactive, a slide with 16 squares which I then inserted the "yes/no" flash into 16 times.
When I insert the "yes, no" animation into the final slide everything looks great.
However, upon preview and publish, a user can click on the squares to change them from no to yes, but sometimes clicking on one square (animation) also changes 2 squares.
In the screenshot, I have the view so that you can see the main slide with the animations (on left), then the preview (on right), and I have clicked on the first "x" to change it to a checkmark, but when I clicked on the first box, another box was affected and changed to a checkmark as well. I can't decide if it is a timing issue, but my goal is that a user can click on any of the boxes and only affect that box.
Thank you for your ideas and thoughts.

I agree with Lieve. Not a good idea.
If you had just placed the images of the tick and cross in each square and used Advanced Actions to toggle them, then you would also have been able to have those actions set User Variables and track which answers the user had given. That data could have been used elsewhere in the same project to modify the experience.

Export Captivate into PowerPoint or Adobe Presenter or similar?

I have created a 30 minute security awareness course using Adobe Captivate 8 and one of the firm members asked if I could put the content into a user-friendly type program that he could manipulate, extract from and create his own mini e-alert type lessons from for his clients. He wants to be able to add his own comments in his own voice, change the content to be client-specific, etc. I do not know how to take the information I have in Captivate and move it into a novice type program. Any suggestions?

PIP is available in Presenter Video Creator, not in the normal Presenter plug-in. It is not available in Captivate normal projects with extension cptx. You can insert a PIP in the TOC, but have to record it separately.
In Captivate HD Video Demo, extension cpvc (which is also a video creator with a dedicated video editor) you can insert a PIP in the editor. But again you have to create it separately.
The choice is up to you: an easy way to have both recordings together, with very limited editing possibilites in Presenter. Or the Captivate way, more work, better editor.
Afraid to repeat again: we are only talking about pure video now. In the normal Captivate files, that are based on slides, you can insert a video (like a PIP) and distribute it over slides, adapting the slide markers is available in the Video menu. No webcam recording for the moment in Captivate.

Captivate into Powerpoint on a Mac

I want to be able to create a software demo in captivate.....but then move it into Powerpoint presentation. Essentially be able to click mouse to move powerpoint slide forward one part of the demo at a time.
In short...
Mouse click in powerpoint to forward to demo step #1 from captivate
Be able to talk about the slide and section of the demo
Then mouse click in powerpoint to forward to demo step #2 from captivate
Be able to talk about the slide and section of the demo
Then mouse click in powerpoint to forward to demo step #3 from captivate
Etc
Etc
Etc
Is this possible?

Well, in Captivate, click the Interactions button on the Big Button Bar and choose Click Box. Just drag it out to cover the captivate slide so it's nice and easy to click. It should already be programmed to go to the next slide. But if you need to go to a section, you will need to open the properties and configure it to jump to a specific slide.
Cheers... Rick

Hi adi edel
A tip for future forum participation. You asked the same
question in three different forum categories. This is known as
cross posting and should be avoided. If you wonder why this is
considered to be a bad thing, you may
click
here to read the Forum Posting Guidelines.
As for your question, I know that Fabio already offered one
possible thing to try, but here is how I would approach it.
Configure the end option of each movie to open the next one down
the line. This process is called "daisy chaining". As for putting
the movies into an HTML page, are we assuming you wish to simply
include one or more in an existing page?
Cheers... Rick

Importing Adobe Captivate into Robohelp 6

When I try to import Captivate files into RoboHelp it seems
like the import was successful, but when I try to view it the
screen is blank. I any new to working on Captivate as well, but I
beleive everything is ok on that end.
Any ideas?

Hey Colum,
Thanks for your help, but I still seem to be having
difficulty.
I am using RoboHelp HTML 6 for my project.
Here is what I have done:
Created my Captivate file & saved it.
Imported the Captivate file in my Baggage Folder.
Problems are:
When I double click on the file in Baggage it opens up
Captivate.
I then tried to import the same clip into a New Topic, but
again all I get is a text box saying Flash Movie File. I compiling
the porject, but when I try to click on the topic with the
Captivate file, but the page freezes. When I mouse over the text
box it says "Click to activate & use this control."
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Exporting Captivate into Flash

Hi,
When I export my Captivate file to Flash MX 2004, the file
has nothing in it.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi mindtube and welcome to our community
I am inferring from your question that you may think Adobe
employees are monitoring this forum. While we might see one or two
pop in here and there, by and large this is a total "user-to-user"
community. I'm a Captivate user same as you. So you might want to
post your question to support using the link at the bottom of this
