Captivate SWF Quality Poor in Presenter 7.0

Hi,
My company recently purchased Presenter 6 to run on
PowerPoint 2003, which was great - we were able to produce some
really high quality content by incorporating screenshots, clip-art,
Flash animations and Captivate movies.
Then the dreaded upgrades began. We move to PowerPoint 2007
and were forced to upgrade to Presenter 7.0, which at the time
didn't seem like a big deal. However, since upgrading I've noticed
that graphics and in particular Captivate SWFs displayed in the
Presenter output are of a pretty low quality. I've set the image
setting to High in Presenter but it makes no difference.
I'm pretty sure it's not Captivate because the SWF output
looks perfectly good if played on its own directly in a web
browser.
Has anybody out there noticed this with Presenter 7 and if
so, have you got any idea why it happens and what I can do to fix
it?
Thanks,
Alex Samson

There is no reason that Captivate swf that played fine on
Presenter6/PowerPoint2003 should show up in degraded quality in
Presenter7/PowerPoint2007.
The image quality settings won't change anything in the
Captivate swf.
My best guess would be that the Captivate swf contains some
screenshots and the size of the flash object inserted into the
slide is not letting flash player draw the image properly.
Try adjusting the size of the flash object that gets inserted
into the slide to be same as how it appeared in
P6/Office2003.

  • Full motion .swf's in Adobe Presenter

    This has been one of the most frustrating and time consuming
    technical issues I've ever encountered. This is my 3rd posting (2
    on a Captivate forum, 1 on a Presenter forum), and no one is able
    to help me! Surely I can't be the only one to encounter the blank
    screens that appear in my .swf files embedded in Adobe Presenter.
    When I publish the Captivate file to .swf, multiple files are
    generated. There are around 20 of them called "Fullmotion"... I can
    view the main .swf file fine in IE, but when I insert the Flash
    file in Presenter and publish the file, the video in the published
    presentation plays for a while, then a white screen pops up, goes
    back to playing, white screen again, etc... I figured out that
    those white screens appear whenever there's a "Fullmotion" .... At
    first I thought it was a Flash version issue, but that isn't the
    case. Then I thought I had my answer when someone suggested to turn
    off the borders. That didn't work.
    What's the deal here? We paid a lot of money for these Adobe
    products, you'd think they'd work together! Or that they would at
    least offer free support ! Please someone help me!!

    Hi,
    The John Daigle solutions doens´t help me either and I
    dont know why. But I
    fix it using Flash to import/export each fullmotion in
    version 7 with AS
    1.0 and "import" this files to the respective slide to change
    for the older
    one.
    I hope that captivate´s team fix it in the next update.

  • Connect Sync not working with Captivate SWF files

    HI
    I'm creating material for presentations and discussion in Captivate 8 and using Connect 9.3.
    The Sync button in Connect doesn't turn on or off the sync view for all participants for a presentation sharing the Captivate SWF file....
    Any ideas on how to get the sync feature working?
    PS: I'm using Captivate to create the slides and publish to SWF in order to preserve the fonts for the brand. Uploading Powerpoint changes the fonts to system defaults (looks very bad) and PDF, provides a clunky or abrupt slide transitions (using captivate fade transitions). Would prefer a better solution to maintain fonts and transitions though.
    Cheers,
    Fred

    Going to give a try...
    I did try saving each slide as an image from ppt, then created a new slide deck with one image per slide - added transitions and uploaded to Connect. That seemed to work.... yet, really would like to sort out Captivate as I plan on adding quizzes and other items best done with Captivate.
    Cheers,
    Fred

  • Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

    Hi,
    I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
    Thanks,
    Jaimie

    Hi there
    When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
    One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
    Then note the version number.
    You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Detect end of captivate swf

    I am loading a swf that I created in captivate into another
    flash file. I would like to be able to detect when tha captivate
    swf is at the end. Is there a way in flash to detect when a
    captivate swf is at the end?

    Hi Jencarter,
    another possbility could be to embed a small swf-animation
    into the captivate-movie that calls a function in the root, in this
    case the flash-file which loads the captivate-movie.
    We had the same problem, in the flash-file a function
    "chapterend" should be called as soon the captivate-swf is at the
    end.
    So I've build a small swf which just calles the actionscript:
    _root.chapterend();
    This swf can be imported into the last slide of the
    captivate-movie (or on any other position, if you need it).
    Best regards

  • Controlling Embedded Captivate SWFs

    Hi:
    I have a SWF (SWF A) that I'm loading into a movieclip
    (Movieclip C)which is part of another SWF (SWF B). Basically, SWF B
    functions as a player, with play and pause controls. These controls
    control Movieclip C where the external SWF A is loaded into.
    Normally, I have had no problem with this and it always
    works. At run time, when you click the pause button on SWF B, a
    stop() command is issued to Movieclip C, which stops the play of
    the external movieclip (SWF A) loaded into it.
    However, I did a screen capture with Captivate and published
    it as a SWF. I loaded this SWF (SWF A) into Movieclip C in SWF B at
    run time. However, clicking the controls on SWF I created has NO
    EFFECT on the SWF I created in Captivate. It just keeps playing.
    I guess all SWFs are NOT created equal. How can I make this
    work?
    By the way, I do not want to use the embedded controls that
    come with Captivate.

    I'll bet it does have an effect, but you just don't see the
    effect
    you're expecting.
    > It just keeps playing.

    A SWF is a SWF is a SWF. They are all created equal, from a
    certain
    point of view. Flash Paper SWFs are just SWFs, at bottom,
    even though they
    have additional functionality. Captivate SWFs are also just
    SWFs -- which
    means they must adhere to the MovieClip class, all of whose
    methods,
    properties, and events are listed in the "MovieClip class"
    entry of the
    ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference.
    It may be that Captivate nests its SWFs, so that you need to
    adjust your
    target when telling a given movie clip container what to do.
    Would you show
    the exact ActionScript you're using?

  • Need Help - Inserting articulate engage swf in a published Presenter presentaiton.

    Hello.  I am having tremendous difficulty publishing articulate engage swf's in my adobe presenter presentation.  I have done this before but for some reason i am having trouble now.  When i publish my presentation locally, the output from presenter changes the name of my swf files to embedded_flash_... with a number at the end.  My question is how can i tell what presenter has renamed the indidual swf files. I have to change the name of the content folder from engage to match so i need to know which slide has which swf.  I have several swf files in the presentation and keeping track of them is quite difficult.
    Is there a way to click on slide with a swf on it to determine what presenter has renamed it? Swf  Properties or View shockwave object or something else?????
    Thanks Mike

    Hi Mike!
    I actually ran into a problem similar to what you've written about here.
    Here's a suggestion to try; you may experience weird / unexpected results, but it may be worth a try....and who knows, it could help!
    Here goes:
    Rather than using one quiz container for your content / course, what I'd like you to do is break up "non-contiguous" question slides into totally separate quiz containers.  I think what you need to avoid is having any kind of flash interactions from Engage running between a set of question slides stemming from one quiz container.
    So instead of having a question on slide 5, an Engage interaction on slide 6 and another question on slide 7.....I want you to try breaking that up so that it looks like this:
    Question on slide 5 [from quiz container 1], Engage interaction, question on slide 7 [from quiz container 2]...and so on.
    Here's the deal: I've personally seen instances where adding custom Flash animations between question slides have caused some interference with the functionality of question slides.  Even though you're using a totally different product, Engage still employs code parameters that can cause some breakdowns as soon as you publish your Adobe Presenter content, and I think that's what's happening here.  To be brutally honest, I don't have Engage, but I'd be willing to bet it's causing the same problems that I've encountered with Flash animations that I've tried to incorporate into my Presenter content.
    So again, try breaking up the question slides into separate, independant quiz containers and see if that resolves the problem....I'd be curious to know if that works!

  • Is there a way to remove captivate swf click listeners?

    Hi, this is my first time posting.  After a lot of searching and no answers I figure maybe someone here knows.
    Short background: I have a captivate Sim that is being loaded into a sim viewer of a courseware.  The sim viewer has it's own directional pointers, feedback boxes, and instructional boxes.  To get all of this working correctly has been difficult, and I'm using AS3, Captivate 4, Flash CS4, and export for Flash Player 10 for the unloadAndStop() command to clean it up when no longer needed.
    My question: is it possible to directly remove the event listener that captivate is using to listen for mouse clicks? (and add it back when needed)
    I have the correct/incorrect calling a Javascript.  On incorrect, it is set to one attempt, but the javascript tells it to:
    loaderPath.content.rdcmndPause = 1;
    loaderPath.content.rdcmndGotoSlide = loaderPath.content.rdinfoCurrentSlide;
    loaderPath.content.rdcmndResume = 1;
    so, it does not really go anywhere when they get it wrong (kind of a rig for unlimited attempts with incorrect callback)
    The sim I'm using requires that it can be "paused" in essence, with an opaque layer over it.  The problem is that it STILL gets the mouse clicks even through this layer.  I managed to create a conditional rig to fix that (a Boolean that when set to false, does not evaluate the javascript calls i get for correct and incorrect clicks).  but I still have a problem where when the Sim is active, there is a drag and drop instructions box, and when it's released, it evaluates incorrect.
    so, I'm sorry if that is confusing, but I'm basically wondering if there is a way to block captivate from getting the mouse click on an evaluation slide when you don't want it to?

    That would not really solve my issue at all.  I need it to not register a click for correct OR incorrect at a certain point in time (when they are dragging an information window and they drop it).
    Say that I have a screen with a large click box on it, that is correct, and the rest of the screen is incorrect.  If they just happen to drag and drop the information window over part of the correct box I obviously do not want it registering as the correct answer.  I need a way to block all mouse click and release information from communicating with the Captivate .swf (but also the ability to turn it back on).

  • Exporting SWF from InDesign for presentation

    I've exported a swf file for a presentation that uses .flv files. When I open the file in flash it works fine unless I put it in full screen mode. Doing this makes the videos huge/zoomed in. I need to get this done for Monday and I can't work out what I've done wrong. Only a few of the slides have a video on. The others with just a static image work perfectly fine.
    Thanks for you help in advance

    That´s unfortunate indesign "feature" which is quite hard to work-around.
    Check this FAQ, Bugs&Fixes section / FullScreen view does not work properly if videos have been used:
    http://www.edocker.fi/index.php/en/support/frequently-asked-questions/
    It´s made for eDocker users but I think you may use it also without eDocker, with SWF files exported from InDesign

  • Why do scaled and masked captivate swfs respond to clicks outside the mask? Can it be stopped?

    We load Captivate 3 SWFs at runtime into our own course player, with movieclip.loadmovie. Our player is built with AS2 and published to Flash 8. We publish our Captivate movies to the same specs. Our latest challenge requires scaling and masking the Captivate SWF.
    A click outside the masked Captivate still triggers a click as far as Captivate is concerned, and it throws up a “that’s incorrect” message. Specifically, it only happens when you click in a spot that has masked Captivate “behind” it. In other words, if there would be Captivate there if the mask was turned off, Captivate will respond even when the mask is turned on.
    Is there a way to make Captivate ignore mouse clicks outside of the mask? I think it must be responding to Mouse.onMouseDown() since normally a masked object won’t respond to clicks outside the mask.
    I’ve put together a small test file to demonstrate exactly what’s happening, and I’ve posted it here: http://www.tbgprod.com/_experiments/captivatemasktest/captivatemasktest.swf
    I’ve also uploaded the .fla file. It’s ony 50kb and it’s available here: http://www.tbgprod.com/_experiments/captivatemasktest/MaskTest01.fla
    You’ll also need the Captivate .swf file if you want to test locally. Here’s the direct link. Right-click and save target as: http://www.tbgprod.com/_experiments/captivatemasktest/DisplayProperties.swf
    My question is "how do I make Captivate ignore clicks outside the mask?"
    Many thanks,
    Todd S

    Even if anyone just has any knowledge of how Captivate 3 movies actually monitor the mouse, I'd be happy to hear it. In other words, can anyone confirm my hunch? If we knew the internal structure of the Captivate SWF would it be possible to clear and restore some function as the mouse moves inside or outside of the target area? Something like this:
    on mousemove {
         if mouse has crossed boundary to the outside {
              functionBuffer = container.whatever.whatever.function;
              container.whatever.whatever.function = null;
         else if mouse has cross boundary to the inside {
              container.whatever.whatever.function = functionBuffer;
    This would kill Captivate's mouse functions and then bring them back to life, as the mouse exits and re-enters the masked Captivate area. Two questions:
    1. If we knew the necessary whatever.whatever.function information, would this work?
    2. Does anybody know the necessary whatever.whatever.function information?

  • Executing actionscript at the start of a Captivate swf

    Hello,
    I'd like to run the stopAllSounds actionscript function when my swf is loaded. Is there a way to do this with advanced actions, or some other method?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, but I don't think that will work. The problem I am trying to workaround is that when a user leaves the page that contains a Captivate swf
    with audio, the audio continues to play. So when the user lands on another page that contains another swf with audio, you end up with multiple narrations talking at the same time.  I want to do something to stop any currently playing audio before starting the audio from another swf. Ideally, I'd like to be able to stop all sounds when the user navigates away from the page that runs the swf. But I can't figure out a way to do that.
    This cpCmndMute sounds like it does the same thing as pressing the mute button--but I need the sound file itself to be stopped.
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    I would like to create a DVD menu that offers two languages. So the first page gives two options: Language 1 and Language 2. Then depending on which language you choose, you go to a menu that proposes different videos and a photo slideshow.
    Regardless on which language button you click on initially, you get the same content but in different languages.
    I've been looking at Premiere's templates, which I can certainly customize, but I really don't see how to create the double menu. Does anybody have an idea?
    Put the video with the first language on the timeline followed by the video with the second language.  Use chapter markers so you can have each video as a chapter in the menu.
    I use Premiere Pro, so I can't give more specific directions. Perhaps somebody like ATR will chime in.
    Also, I have another question: can I put videos from different projects in the same DVD with Premiere or must all of the videos that go into the DVD be in the same project?

  • Actionscript / swf integration with Adobe Presenter

    I need to do some Actionscript / swf integration with Adobe Presenter content.
    Is there any way to access information about current slide nr., total number of slides and "end of presentation" information from swf(Actionscript 3.0) inserted into Adobe Presenter?
    I am using Adobe Presenter 8 with Adobe Connect 8.

    First, the best place is probably the Presenter forum, which somewhat curiously is under the Connect umbrella:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/connectpro/connectpro_presenter
    Out of curiousity, why are you using AICC? Because the content is on a different domain?
    To the point, it's great to have a logging or debugging tool for these sort of things to view the communication between the LMS and the lesson. Perhaps the lesson is sending the 'completed' status but also sending some other value that the LMS is using to change the status back to incomplete?
    My first suggestion would be to try the lesson in a tool like TestTrack...but I don't think that handles AICC. Does the Saba LMS have any kind of debugger or logging tool you can use? You really need to see if the lesson is sending the status back to the LMS as you suspect it should. If it IS, then the issue lies with the LMS and how it's interpreting that result. If it's NOT, then you can then perhaps figure out what to adjust in the lesson.
    In general, just play with the settings. If it's set to Complete/Incomplete and has a Mastery Score, try NOT setting the Mastery Score... And other such combinations.
    I hope the folks in the Connect/Presenter forum can provide more insight.

  • Controlling an AS3 Captivate swf from Flex -- set quiz preferences

    Hi All,
    I'm able to use the SWFLoader to load the a Captivate.swf, and play it using the nextSlide, previousSlide etc.  However I am being blocked by the quizzes.
    I have access to all the rd* and cp* symbols.   I would like to navigate through all the slides, but if I have a quiz, I am blocked from 'rdcmndNextSlide'  or setting 'rdcmndGotoSlide'  past the quiz.  Does anyone know if this can be done?  Please help!

    DaddyDog,
    Have you checked your Quiz Settings in preferences for your Cp4 project?  There are two options to allow backward movement and to allow reviewing of the quiz.  You may want to try adjusting these.
    When you say you've been successful using the "nextSlide, previousSlide etc.", do you mean the buttons on the Cp playbar?
    One trick that has helped me greatly is obtaining and modifying the movie xml.  The movie xml is generated at runtime and defines the slides, slide objects, quiz settings, quiz slides... etc.  You may want to examine this to see if you can manipulate it to your advantage.  Here's how I can reference it from an AS3 Cp4 widget:
    var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
    var movXML:XML = new XML(mainmov.movieXML);
    Not sure how you have your Flex app loading the captivate swf, but I'm sure you could figure out how to reference the movieXML from another parent in your app.
    HTH,

I thought it would be simple to just combine the Detail Region code with the publsihed .swf and .htm code. But not sure what im doing wrong or if this is even possible to do. I was experimenting just using the exact same code and xml for Detail Region sample and modifying it a bit. See below...
