Captivate Player problem with IE

Hey all, here's a very strange issue I've run across when
using Captivate Player and IE:
1) Make sure your IE browser's cache is clean
2) With content that's up on a LMS server, such as Moodle
(NOT viewed locally), try to view Captivate content that uses the
Captivate Player interface
Captivate Player is supposed to rescale content automatically
to the window by default (unless you turn that off in the XML
Playlist- I did not). But with IE, viewing content online (
not locally), on first view with a clean cache/not having
tried to view that content before, it does NOT rescale.
It may or may not work on content on an FTP server (haven't
had a chance to check yet)... it definitely does happen on an LMS
(Moodle) server.
Its a real fun bug if you're using lower resolutions and the
content is larger than the browser window... can't see half the
screencast, or the playback controls if they're at the bottom =[
Anyone run across this before, and/or have ideas for a fix?
PS- If you view the content a second time (select the section
again in the Captivate Player 'sections' menu), it rescales as it
is supposed to.

Way ahead of you Rick... I've sent Jesse emails on the
subject, but he seems to be heavily backlogged ever since his
holiday vacation, haven't heard from him. :(
However, before his vacation we did correspond on other
issues and he was tremendously helpful. :)

Adobe Flash Player Problem with Safari

Hello,
I've just installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on Safari. I can watch videos on all websites except for one, namely NovaTv Play. Whatever I do, I cannot open any of the videos. Therefore, I have to use a different browser like Google Chrome. I'd like to continue using one web browser but cannot resolve this problem myself. I've checked the FAQ of the aforementioned website and it is stated that if the videos cannot be loaded, the proper installation of Adobe Flash Player should be checked. This is something I did, and as stated, there are no problems with other websites. Can somebody help me with this issue?
I am using OS X 10.9.5 (13F34) and the latest version of Safari.
Thank you for your attention to the problem!
Best wishes,
Mariyan

so, if anyone else is having the same problem....My flash is working properly now. You have to delete every trace of the old adobe flash player and then reinstall the latest version!

Adobe Captivate 5 - Problem with scoring with Quiz exported to PDF

Hello,
I have created several review quizzes that have been exported to pdf and uploaded to the internet. They are elementary school quizzes that are listed on a canned school web hosting site that only allows uploads in common formates such as Microsoft Word and pdf.
I tested these pdf quizzes with no problems and from my computers they still work fine; however some people are having problems with the scoring element. Some - not all questions are not tabulated correctly in the end review section. I have been told that the questions were answered correctly but the end review showed some questions as wrong or not answered. The quizzes are reveiw only and no reporting or LMS is used.
Has anyone else seen this? I had a feeling that perhaps the adobe reader was at fault, but so far everyone is using reader version 9.
One of the quizzes can be found here.. http://www.germantownschools.org/faculty/jwoger/4th_math_topic_1_quiz[1].pdf

Hi,
I have since my initial post been told that certain elements of the quiz slides are also not working. Correct answers have a sound clip that plays when the "correct" option is selected. This is not working for some users. Like I said I have no problem with the pdf quiz from any of the computers I use and don't know why it doesn't work for others.

Rsync/unison to/with mp3-player, problem with permissions

Hi,
I'm trying to sync my music database with my mp3-player via rsync or unison, but both complain about the mp3 being a read-only device (It's detected as a FAT32 harddrive, btw.).
The interesting thing is: It is not mounted read-only. I can copy music onto it just fine via e.g. thunar, only the two sync programs complain.
What could be the problem?

The error messages are variations of:
rsync: chgrp "/media/path/to/file/on/mp3" failed: Read-only file system (30)
Seems like it's permissions-related, so maybe I should get rid of the "keep permissions" option implied in rsync -a. I'll try that and the udev rule, thanks.
Another thing: Unison takes AGES to check for changes (and I do mean ages, ~10s per file). Is that normal?
[edit:]
Another error:
rsync: mkstemp "/media/path/to/file/on/mp3/*.ogg.w7qqip" failed: Read-only file system (30)
I haven't played around with the rsync-options yet. I tried the udev rule though, didn't help. One thing is strange: the rule sets gid=100(=users), but all the dirs/files on the device are <mylogin>:root owned. Shouldn't that be <mylogin>:users?

Hello JLavius
Looking at your Java. I am not familiar with IE7 but I know it has different features than IE6 which I still use.
Take a look at your screenshots, the 3 part and the other 2. Are there really 6 Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 ActiveX Controls installed or is this
a screenshot overlap or counted more than once ? In addition there is another ActiveX Plug in same vs 1.6.0_17 but in file npjpi160_...
Then, there is a Java(tm)Plug-in 2 SSV, a BHO (Browser Helper Object) in file jp2ssv.dll
Lastly, there is a JQSIEStartDetectorImp (Not verified) Sun Microsy..., another BHO in file jqs_plugin
I will freely admit, Java is perplexing, but I'm trying to understand why anything takes this many ActiveX Controls and Browser Helpers to run. The 2SSV has it's own BHO and same with JQSIE.
The above is just my observation. You said that you noticed this flickering and blinking (instability) a few days around the time you posted.
Can you remember installing anything new around that time? Any software or perhaps an IE or Windows Update? Something is causing this and trying to pin point it is going to be difficult. You have the most add ons I have ever seen, but you have a great system too and it
looks like it could handle anything.
It may be worth a look in Add/Remove to see what IE or Windows Updates may have been installed around that date. Any program or Anti-Virus update or change?
I would contact Sun Microsystems and ask them about the Java. Flash Player, Shockwave Flash Object and Java work together for the best experience. See what you can find out and post back. If you can't find anything out, you may need to open up a support ticket here at Adobe. Thanks JLavius, I wish I could be more help.
P.S. here is the Sun Microsystems (Sun) forums. http://forums.sun.com/index.jspa

QuickTime Player Problem with iWeb v3.0.4 and Safari v5.1.2

iWeb v3.0.4 published web site with Safari v5.1.2:
I'm in the process of creating a web site (www.koinonia.com) using iWeb v3.0.4. There is an inserted QuickTime element on the home page which is playing an mp3 music file. The QuickTime player (Show movie controller option in iWeb) does not work with Safari v5.1.2 (but does work fine with Firefox v9.0.1). There should be a Movie Controller below the album jpeg image, but is not there with Safari. Also, the movie (mp3 audio file) does not play automatically (plays fine with Firefox). This looks to be a bug with Apple's iWeb / Safari applications.
Does anyone know how to get the QuickTime element to play with Safari v5.1.2?
Thanks

Safari 5 running in Snow Leopard has been a problem for me. It screws up html, loads a distorted control bar in HTML5 and crashes every now and again when I do a Google search. Reporting these issues is a waste of time as the latest update had no fix. I test all my pages in Firefox and Chrome and don't bother much with Safari since less than 3% use it.
I have the same issue as the OP. The file will only load in Safari if the page is open in Firefox at the same time.
This problem arose over a year ago and is related to files imported from iTunes via the media browser. If the OP will confirm that the file came from iTunes, I will have a look at the meta data to see if there's anything there that iTunes has added.
The only time I am forced to use iTunes is for apps that don't allow import from the finder such as certain situations in Keynote. Otherwise, I wish it would disappear down a black hole in the universe along with Windows and Internet Explorer.
I converted the file to MP4 with QT Pro to prove the point that its the actual MP3 file that is causing the problem - along with Safari.
I haven't depended on the QT Plugin for playing media for quite some time now. HTML5 now works in all modern browsers and should also work in IE 8 if the HTML5 Shiv is included in the head of the page.
Its also a breeze to get flexible movies in responsive web design using HTML 5...

I don't bother too much with flash fallback anymore since these designs are mainly for mobile devices and I can ignore those who are reluctant to upgrade their out of date browsers.

Flash Player Problems with IE

Hello,
When I installed the new Flash CS4 when it was released a few
months ago, I noticed that the flash player stopped working with IE
7. That wasn't really a problem for me at the time because I always
use firefox. However, I need the flash player to work with IE for
another program and I can't seem to get it to install anymore. I
keep getting the
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166
error, so I followed all the solutions on this page:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19166&sliceId=1
But I haven't had any luck.
Does any one have any other ideas?
Thanks

So there aren't any other solutions? (besides reinstalling
vista) I just think it is strange that it was working before I
installed Flash CS4 but not after. Has anyone else encounter
something similar to this?

Flash player problems with PDF that has multi-media content (voice recordings).

Hi - I created a presentation in Presenter 9 that contains audio recordings, published it as a pdf and sent it to my client's offices all over the U.S., as well as Japan, Belgium, Germany, South America and France. No one has had an issue viewing/hearing the presentation except one office, located in California. When they try to open it, they get the following message:
"To view the flash technololgy content in this pdf file, please install the required version of flash player."
Because of the message, and the fact that everyone else can open the presentation, I think the issue is related to the version of Flash Player the CA office is using, and that it is not a "Presenter" problem. The operating system and software details are as follows:
Windows 7 Pro SP1, 64-bit
Internet Explorer 11.0.13, 32-bit
Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.09
Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.0.0
Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX
I would welcome any advice you might have. This is difficult for me to troubleshoot as I am not having the problem, my client is.
Thanks -
Susan

Pat -
Thank you so much for your response. I will give it a try.

Adobe Captivate 6 problem with Review area text on Quiz results page

Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 6 and I have a test at the end of my project with the built in 'Quiz results page' at the end.
However, the standard 'review area' provided always seems to play up for me. I have changed the 'quiz results messages' through the preferences and changed the font of the review area, but everytime I play my project the message displayed is in a different font that I did not set and the size is so large that the sentence goes off the screen. It has done this on numerous projects.
I have changed the font of the review area and it shows up on my normal view, but everytime I preview the project or publish it, the font changes back to a strange default.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thank you.

Hannah,
That is a very well-known bug in the last Captivate versions... if you screen these forums you'll find multiple threads complaining about it. Some fonts will work, I think Calibri works (not all styles however) and all the other fonts revert to Times New Roman. I'm a bit puzzled that you call it a 'strange default'.

Captivate 5: Problems with Java Scripts - Trying to Jump to a certain slide on Different Project

I have the code here I researched for Captivate 5 to jump to a certain slide in a different project, this code was attempted to be used in both projects seperately and simultaniously:
function GetSlideParam(){
if(window.location.href.indexOf('?slide=') != -1) {
var startIndex = window.location.href.indexOf('?slide=' ) + 7;
var URL = window.location.href.toString();
var slideNumber = URL.substring(startIndex);
if(slideNumber != '' || slideNumber != undefined){
setTimeout(function(){NavigateToSlide(slideNumber);}, 200);
function NavigateToSlide(requestedSlide){
var cpObj = document.Captivate;
cpObj.cpEISetValue('cpCmndGotoSlide',requestedSlide - 1);
cpObj.cpEISetValue('rdcmndResume',1);
GetSlideParam();
Here's my on success URL file in the button properties that was needed to jump to that certain slide according to my research:
(my project to jump to).htm?slide=2
In the end, it didn't work and just jumped to slide 1 on the other project no matter what I tried to do or how I altered the script and the project button and slide properties... Please Help... Just thought maybe you guys would know some more about scripting, that's why I'm asking you guys this regardless of it being a Captivate question because the Captivate Specialists couldn't answer my question being clueless about the scripting part of it.

So the InDesign Scripting Forum is the place to ask about Javascript -- for any other program? Well, paint me red and call me Admiral Ackbar, I didn't see that one coming.
Are you (and with you those "Captivate Specialists") aware of the fact that
var slideNumber = URL.substring(startIndex);
will return a text string, not a number? And so this next operation will (silently) fail, and return some default number instead (most likely, 0)?
(stuff --) requestedSlide - 1
If you already knew this, you will have to be more clear on what happens now, what you'd like to happen, and what Captivate actually is supposed to do (since I have no idea what it is).

Captivate 4 - Problems with the welcome screen?

Hello, I just tryed out the Captivate 4 trial, but I run into problems. When I try to open a file, it loads, but it doesnt show up! If I turn off the welcome scren, and load a file, the problem still remains, nothing shows up, it remains grey. I solved the problem temporaly, I can access the projects if I turn on the "Comments" option in the Windows menu, but I have to do it at every project load. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Unless you bought an unlocked French phone, no one here can help you. If your phone is one of the French phones, you'll need to contact Apple France for assistance.

Flash player problems with youtube - using firefox

I have been having these problems for a while now, at least over 6 months I'd say. Everytime I want to watch any youtube video, I get this:
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
I have scoured the internet for answers. I have cleared cookies, done clean uninstalls/installs, and java script is enabled. I somehow fixed it yesterday, when I cleared out cookies and also cleared file cache in firefox. It was also fixed after I uninstalled flash player, and upgraded to firefox 3.6. However, the problem has returned and after clearing cookies and the file cache again, it's still not working. I am hoping someone has a permanent fix for this. Also, I can watch videos on google, dailymotion, metacafe, etc. Only youtube gives me these problems.
I am using Windows XP SP2 and Firefox 3.6. Thank you

I wish that worked :[
I forgot to add that I am also using Norton Antivirus 2005. I already went to the Personal Firewall settings and I configured it to permit all adobe programs.

Captivate 4 problems with audio import in powerpoint presentations

I am trying to import powerpoint presentations made in powerpoint 2003 which contain audio.
When I import them to captivate 4 I cannot hear the audion on each slide when I hit the play button.
Also, when I go to "Preview" "Play this slide (F3)" I get no audio.
If I "Preview" "Presentation" (F4) the audio plays very fast (like the "chipmunks").
If I "Preview" "From this slide (F8)" I get no sound.
If I "Preview" "The next 5 slides (F10)" I get no sound.
If I double click on the audio timeline and select the "audio" tab in the "Slide Properties" box and click the play button or edit the audio it plays normally.
I need to get this audio done ASAP. Is there anyone who knows what is going on?
Thanks for your help.
