Captivate without Flash Knowledge

Is it possible to create screen movement training demos with
Captivate without having experience with Flash? I know it exports
to Flash...but does one need to know Flash to create basic
demos?

Hi Outrider1957
This is one of the things I dearly LOVE about Captivate! It
goes far to equalize the playing field between Flash developers and
those of us that are Flash illiterate.
Yes, you can be quite successful with Captivate while being
blissfully unaware of how to do anything Flash related. Granted,
the more you know about the two, the better you will be equipped to
tweak things to suit you better. But the bottom line is that you
need not have any Flash skills whatsoever to be successful using
Captivate.
Sincerely... Rick

Captivate without Flash?

Hi all,
I understand that Captivate generates Flash output (.fla / .swf); however, for users who don't have Flash on their computers at all, is there any way to view Captivate content? If I insert a SWF into a PDF, can that be viewed without Flash?
I know the simplest answer is "download Flash player," but that is not always an option in the environment I'm working in.
Thank you!

Hello,
You can insert a CP-created SWF into a PDF. The Adobe Reader has to be present and since version 9 it has Flash Player incorporated, so your SWF will play all right provided the user do have at least Reader 9.
Another possibilitiy is to produce an EXE-file with Captivate, no need for Flash Player nor Reader in that case.

Understanding Flex: Can it be used without Flash-knowledge, and some other questions

Hi.
I'm trying to understand how Flex works. My understanding is
that Flex is like the integration link between Flash-content and
.NET-applications on the web. We need rich interface on our
.NET-applications - without ActionScript-coding required from the
programmer's side.
Can this be acheived with Flex alone?
What is Coldfusion required for? Can Flex be used without it
to create the rich web interface?
Are basic components included and ready-to-be-used? What if
special components are needed? E.g. multi-level menu-tree or some
special data grid. Can this be developed by a Flash-programmer and
used as a "generic" component?
My reason for choosing this would be that we easily can
acheive great web-layouts that are Flash-based, and that interact
with our .NET-applications. Is this the product I'm looking for?
Thanks alot in advance! :D

It is absolutely possible to create complex custom components
in Flex and without FlashPro.
Flex can communicate with the server in several ways.
WebService: SOAP-based
HTTPService: XML over HTTP, (like REST and AJAX)
RemoteObject: uses proprietary amf protocol, needs Java or CF
on back-end
There are some others like URLLoader and sockets.
Unless you need your back end functionality to be generally
available to anonymous third parties (hence the wsdl), WebServices
are unnecessarily complex.
I prefer HTTPService, I post xml strings in the normal
name=value format to the server and use e4x xml as the resultFormat
in flex.
Even though you said "roughly", that is still an impossible
question to answer, there are too many variables: On the back-end,
do you need to install a database? Create the schema? or is some of
that part done already? On the front-end, How will you navigate the
records? See, too many variables.
The communication part is by far the easiest. Almost
negligible, although the Flash Player security can cause some
head-scratching!

When will HTML5 be supported on all browsers without Flash

When will HTML5 be supported on all browsers without Flash. Flash is a support nightmare. No matter how much Adobe wants to rescue it, it's antiquated proprietary functionality that poses both security and support issues.

"When will HTML5 be supported on all browsers without Flash?"
This is a really weird question. Why ask it here?
For starters...HTML5 support on all browsers is not something Adobe is responsible for, so why ask that question on this forum? Instead, if you want anyone with a stake in the issue to answer it, ask the browser manufacturers (e.g. Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Apple) when they will be supporting all features of HTML5. The ball's in their court right now.
Secondly, for e-learning developers HTML5 is currently a bigger support nightmare than Flash ever was. At least with Flash we had a runtime (Flash Player) that all major desktop browsers supported. You could create a course in Flash or Captivate, and as long as the end-user's browser had a current version of Flash Player, you could be reasonably certain it would run, and run smoothly. HTML5 output from most current generation authoring tools runs like a dog with three legs. And e-learning developers forced to build HTML5 or mobiles are encountering a minefield of wildly differing screen sizes and inconsistent implementations reminiscent of the worst years of the 90's "browser wars". HTML5 is no picnic. Give me Flash any day.
Thirdly, Adobe already knows they cannot "rescue" Flash. Why do you think they've already started rolling out HTML5-centric apps such as the Edge Toolset.
Fourthly, the rumours of the death of Flash have been wildly exaggerated. Flash is very much alive and well and happily living inside many of the games and apps that people are currently playing with on their mobile devices.

Playing .exe flash file without flash player

Hi,
We have a .exe flash file generated from adobe captivate. If we have flash player PC,.exe will be played. If we don't have flash player on PC,it will ask for installing latest version flash player,if we give ok and click on .exe file again it will be played.But in installed program list i dont see flash player.Where is flash player installed? And is there any way to play .exe file without showing that message if we dont have flash player?
Thank you

No i dont see flash player in Add or remove programs. I don't know whether captivate .exe file have some inbuilt capacity to play itself. It is not problem. Our problem is we dont want that message for installation. Can we do installation of flash automatically and play once we click .exe file without showing any message or can we play .exe without flash?

How can i watch my tv shows without flash player?

See if your sources have an app and use that.
Or look for a browser that supports flash and use that.

Is it possible to check if anyone has applied to monitor my web browsing history/cache/bookmarks as an employer on my home pc without my knowledge or consent?

I am using private windows to browse since someone seems to know what sites I've visited. I've done my best wrt blocking cookies and deleting history on exit, but some data in the "Library" exists.
Apparently my isp provider and employer can see my browsing history of a private browsing window.
I am currently self-employed but I volunteered for an organisation until October 2013. One of their members I worked closely with was stalking my email and browsing history without my knowledge.
Is it possible for this slimy bleep to have weasled their way into monitoring my web activity by claiming to be an employer?
Can I use a private browsing window safely?
I have a business to run, so I need my information, email, web activity to be kept confidential.
Any helpful advice will be gratefully received.

Your question is a bit confusing, and it seems that you don't quite understand who and what can view your internet activity:
* Private browsing mode simply leaves no record of the sites you visit in your browser. There are so many other parts of the chain that can keep records. Example: Your computer could have tracking software (installed intentionally or maliciously), many routers have web logging, your Internet Service Provider can view the sites you visit, your employer if you are at work, the government has extensive tracking programs as well. Private browsing won't defeat these tracking techniques. It basically only prevents people who have physical access to your computer from looking in your history and seeing the sites you visited in PB mode.
* Your employer can't just request to see the sites you visit when you are at home. The only reason your employer could see the sites you visit is it you take your computer to work and use your work network to access the internet (and the employer has enabled logging on their network hardware) or you have a work laptop and take it home and it has logging software installed on it. Many employers have policies against using work equipment for personal. But there is no way that your employer can call your home ISP and ask to view your internet history.
* Your ISP keeps a record of the sites you access, but won't release that without a court order (or to the NSA....) so unless you have a court order or a snoopy ISP employee who has an axe to grind and is viewing your internet logs illegally you don't really have to worry about that.
* It's possible you have malware on your computer that is tracking your internet history. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

How to watch video's without Flash...

Hi, I have installed Flash to watch videos on YouTube and Cnet. What was odd was that I never needed to install it before Mountain Lion....anayway onto my real question:
Is there a way to watch vidoes without flash? For example, many videos on Cnet and YouTube play on my iPad, which doesn't use Flash, is there a way to get that playback on my desktop Safari? Flash uses CPU and generates heat, plus I don't trust it.
Why do these video's play on my iPad? Is it that h.264 or something formating? Can I use that instead of Flash with Safari?
Thanks,
Respectfully
Jac151

Flash provides more freedback and interactivity than just a video, plus there is a advertising aspect to it I suspect so that's why if they dectect your machine is capable of Flash they will insist you use it.
Flash is safe as long as you use it on sites that are reputable and you can trust them..
If you use Firefox and the NoScript Add-on, drag a "Temporarily allow all" button to the FF toolbar, you can surf the web safely without any scripts running, including Javascript which is used to popup look alike OS X windows to try to fool you into providing your admin password to malware.
IF you then trust the site your on, you click the button if you need the scripts to run.
Also you can disable the scripts you not using individually and enable a downloads window to appear before the download acually occurs less you click a wrong link.
Safair offers little in security, it's why many Mac users get malware that way.

HT6601 Why has this update been installed without my knowledge?

Why has this update been installed without my knowledge? Why wasn't I given the opportunity to refuse the update? Isn't this update meant to stop this unauthorised access to my computer? Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?

So what are your preferences set as regarding updates?
And, are you running ML as shown in your profile?
And, I downloaded and installed this update because there was a possible security issue; however, I have all automatic software update checks and downloads turned off, so i downloaded it manually as it was critical to install it as long as you are using the internet.
Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?
Why would you suspect that?

Alternative for HLS HTML streaming trough JW player for users without Flash?

Hello!
I am using HLS TS Streaming trough JW player for the largest group of users that have flash for streaming video's.
Is there an alternative for users without flash?
Best regards

I will just summarize myself...
Adobe media server supports rtmp and HTTP(HLS and HDS)..
for rtmp streaming the swf running in a Flash player is the standard interface...that flash player may be an activeX control/plugin in your browser or may be a standalone player downloaded from adobe website...Chrome web browser however users a slightly different( PPAPI based) flash player(which is different from Adobe flash player) and is developed and maintained by google.
For HLS and HDS, you can either use special players(i.e swfs)(Flash based) developed Adobe by Adobe e.g Strobe meida player(Open Source Media Framework Blog | Adobe’s free and open source media playback system) or you can use players like jwplayer(Video Player Download | JW Player Online Video Player)... Incidentally jwplayer has added simultaneous support for playing rtmp streams too(which is reallly good), but i do not have much insight into workings of jwplayer...

Integrating Licensing without Flash Builder

Hi,
I posted a question about InMarket SDK for JavaScript developers before:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/742240?tstart=0
So I checked the answered documentation and tried to integrate licensing into my AIR application I made with only JavaScript.
BUT, according to the document, it seems that Flash Builder is required for the licensing integration.
Do I have to buy Flash Builder just for the licensing? It's very expensive for me. Is there any way to integrate without Flash Builder?
Thanks.

You don't have to buy Flash Builder. You can user Flex and AIR SDK that is available for free. If you use Flash Builder the process is simpler, but its possible for you to use the free tools and achieve the same results.
Here are the steps you can follow:
1) Install the AIR SDK – See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS2d8d13466044a73328ed2239124110d12b3-8000.html
2) Install the Flex SDK - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS2d8d13466044a733190f0432124114d9a19-8000.html
3) Follow this tutorial to learn how to compile and package Flex application - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS144092a96ffef7cc4c0afd1212601c9a36f-8000.html
4) Follow out tutorial on building AJAX apps for InMarket, but use the AIR command line compiler and packager tools as opposed to using Flash Builder.

TS4002 emails are being sent out without my knowledge

emails are being sent out without my knowledge, do I have a virus?

Are you getting bounced spam messages? This simply means that someone is forging your address as the 'From' address, which is very easy to do. It's very annoying but it doesn't mean you've been hacked; unfortunately you can't really do anything about it but it usually stops after a bit as they move on to some other victim. As long as you don't have messages you didn't send in your 'sent' folder this is the most likely explanation, though changing your password might be a good idea on general principles (and make it a stong one).

How can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?

how can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?

Unless the cell carrier would provide such a service, which if they do would only be available to you if you are the owner of her cell account, then it's not possible without hacking the iPhone, something we cannot discuss here. And if she has the account in her name, then as SeaBeast suggested such hacking may well be illegal. Even 14-year-olds have privacy rights. You would have to discuss that with a lawyer, though.
