Continue Button not working when publishing to swf

I have created a quiz in Captivate and set my pass/fail options to opening a URL on successful completion.  I need to publish it in flash (swf) but the Continue button does not open the URL.  It works perfectly if I publish the file in .exe format. 
Here are my current settings (I've swapped my URL to the BBC website whilst testing)
I am using version 5.5
Can anyone help?

Hi Rod,
That's really helpful - thank you.  It's working for me now.
I hope you don't mind a cheeky follow-up question?
I'm hoping that the quiz will be available for multiple users in different locations.  Will each person have to change their Flash settings to get the link to work?
Many thanks for your help,
Jessica

  • Drag and drop interactivity- do it for me button not working when published to HTML5

    I've made a drag & drop interactivity, I am adding a button where the user can get the correct answers for that interactivity.
    using advance actions / Standard action / and apply custom effect (right to left ease) in captivate 7.
    The problem I'm experiencing is that the button works fine when reviewing as SWF but when I publish as HTML5, it is not running.
    I am attaching screen shots for it.
    Thanks,

    Sorry advance actions screen as below:
    The idea when user click on "do it for me" button, drag source move to drop target automatically.

  • Quiz not working when published to SWF

    I am using Captivate 5 on a Windows 7 32-bit machine.
    Because I cannot publish to .exe (the enter key causes the file to close, as per this thread), I am attempting to publish my project in Flash. When I do so, everything works fine except for the quiz questions. All of the quiz questions come up with the message "You did not answer this question completely" before an attempt is made at the question. The quiz is completely non-functional.
    The question itself has been blocked to project proprietary information.

    Hi there,
      Probably the issue may be happening because of Quiz Scope. Please make sure that you are not jumping out of Quiz scope through your TOC buttons.
    Quiz scope = first Quiz slide to Result slide
    When you jump beyond the first slide or after the result slide  after answering any of the Questions you are going out of the QUIZ scope and hence captivate won’t allow you to answer the question. It will show the Review message when you comes back to the Question Slide.
    Thanks,

  • Close window not working when publishing as HTML5 on Adobe Connect using CP8

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to get a button that closes the project/window at the end of a video. I am using CP8.
    I can get it to work when publishing as SWF to Adobe Captivate.
    It also works when publishing as HTML5 but not on an LMS (Adobe Connect).
    I have tried various methods including
    - On success execute a Javascript =  window.close()
    - On success - exit
    - On success execute advanced action = Assign cpCmdExit with 1
    I also tried adjusting the slide settings On Exit: exit and the publishing settings Project End Options: Action: Close project.
    Nothing works.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Aimee

    Hi Aimee,
    Can you test this to close the course window:
    Insert 2 buttons or smart shape used as buttons (as Finish course buttons).
    On the first button apply an action to execute javascript and in the script window, use this script: parent.close()
    On the second button apply an action to execute javascript and in the script window, use this script: top.window.close()
    Upload the published project on your LMS and check if any of these works for you.
    Thanks

  • Captivate 6:  Can't get any JavaScript to work when published as SWF

    Version 6.0.1.240
    Windows 7 x64
    I have a button with an action of "Execute JavaScript" and can't event get a simple alert("hello"); to work when published as SWF.  I've tried publishing it with each of the different Flash Player versions.  JavaScript works fine when published as HTML5.

    @Erickj:  Either do what Rod stated (adjusting your Flash Security settings) or test your content from a true web server.  Flash automatically trusts content coming off a true web server where the web address begins with http or https and ends in .htm or .html. 
    The nice thing about Cp 7 is that it has a built-in web server so you don't run into issues like this when testing your content.

  • Top Nav buttons not working after publish, but works in app. WHY?

    I have tried to find out why these buttons will not work after publishing. They work fine while in the iWeb app, but not when publishing. I do not have any objects near the top nav buttons. The first site went off without a hitch
    <www.serenitycustompools.net> the second site began the problem with the last page, the nav buttons would not work. Now this 3rd site, none of the nav buttons at top will work after publish, but will work in app. Anyone else having the same probs? None of my pages have the same names or any punctuation marks, and they are simple one word named pages.

  • Layered menu buttons not working when built.

    I have a project that has one menu and one track. The menu has 7 buttons linked to 7 different markers in the track. When I run the simulation in DVD SP, the buttons link fine, and play as they should...but when I build the project and run it in DVD player or burn it to a disk, the buttons do not work.
    If I create a non-layered menu, the buttons will work when built...
    I feel like i'm just missing one little setting on the layered menu
    Thanks

    Don't forget that a layered menu will normally need two presses to get anything to happen, one to select the button and the second to activate it.
    That said, are you sure that you have got the psd file set up correctly? I would recommend using a background layer with everything on it that you want to appear when not selected, then only adding layers with the changes necessary to show the button selection/activation.

  • IWeb moves pictures by itself, links do not work when publishing to folder

    When I first started using iWeb i would save the page I was working on and then publish it to a folder so I could look at it in Safari and it used to work fine. Now when I do this the pictures come up and they are pushed up halfway off of the top of the page and you aren't able to scroll down all the way to see the bottom of the background picture that I have. Also, the links to the other pages of the site do not work after publishing it to a folder. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it!

  • SP2013: OK button not working when editing Settings on List app

    Hi, all!  Currently running Sharepoint 2013 under Server 2008 R2.  My client is Win7 Pro/64-bit running lastest Firefox, Chrome & IE11.  I am currently a Domain Admin for our corp domain.
    Long story short, I've created a test List app.  When I attempt to add a column to the layout of the custom list app, nothing happens when I click the OK button to save the app.  No access spinning, no errors on-screen (also none visible when I view
    the source of the SP page or header), no nothing.  The highlight of the button changes as expected, but nothing else.  The Cancel button will Cancel as expected, but OK does nothing whatsoever.
    My current permissions include member of Domain Admins, Site Owners (Full Control), and Visitors (Read).  A Check Permissions on myself yield the following:
    Full Control   | Given through the "~site~ Owners" group.  
    Read   | Given through the "~site~ Visitors" group.  
    Edit   | Given through the "~site~ Members" group.  
    (Note: "~site~" is replacing the actual SP2013 site name above)
    I'm thinking it has something to do with effective permissions.  I just added myself to the Owners group this morning with no effect.  I've also tried both Compatibility mode on and off in IE, and Firefox and Chrome don't work, either.  Suggestions
    are most welcome as I'm at the point where I'm not sure if IE11 is causing a problem or if it's actually an effective permissions problem that's preventing me from saving any column changes to the List app above.
    Thanks, guys!

    Hi Steve,
    From your description, my understanding is that OK button does not work when you create a new column.
    Please check if you get any JS error after you click OK button by pressing F12 to OP developer tool.
    Besides, please try to create a new column with steps below:
    1.      
    Click LIST tab in the Ribbon.
    2.      
    Click Create Column in Mange Views section.
    3.      
    Create your column in the dialog.
    4.      
    Click OK button.
    In addition, please confirm these points below:
    1.      
    Test your issue in another list.
    2.      
    Test your issue with another computer.
    3.      
    Test your issue with another account.

  • Picture hyperlinks not working when published? Please help....

    Some of the hyperlinks to my pictures do not work when I publish to my folder. I´ve tried to empty Safaris cache but it still doesn´t work. Please help me, pretty urgent....

    hi briebrie,
    this is common mistake, see my post in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4004970#4004970
    The work around is to leave iWeb default nav bar and header enabled, add your home made nav bar (outside/below of iWeb default nav bar).
    Then turn off iWeb nav bar and header when you are done.

  • Rollover Slidelets not working when published

    Hi,
    I'm using CP5.5 for a course that uses numerous rollover slidelets.  Everything works as expected when previewing the slides in Captivate however the rollover slidelets do not work when the course is published and viewed in a browser.
    Any idea what could be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Your project file may be experiencing some corruption.  Did you insert each of these slidelets using the Insert menu or did you perchance just copy and paste them from the same one?  I've seen that practice cause issues sometimes.
    Try creating a new blank project and then insert a few test slidelets using the Edit menu.  Do they work when this project is published?  If so, at least you know your Cp install is fine.
    Try hiding slides in your project as per suggestions in this post:
    http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/basic-troubleshooting-tech niques
    It may be that the corruption is limited to one or more slides and you can resolve it by rebuilding those slides.

  • Links not working when published

    I know, I know, this topic has been discussed before but I am very very new at this and most answers I just don't understand (I am used to visiting not building sites). Anyway, I am having a **** of a time getting some links in my webpages to work (better said, most work, some not). I don't understand, I've checked all links, no problems (not even when published locally). But when I FTP it to my host something seems to get lost in the transfer. I've deleted the pages where this problem occurs and made new ones. Doesn't help. Does any one have any idea and know how to explain the answer to me in the simplest terms? I would be so very grateful!
    thanx

    The correct ftp settings would be your username and password and what you use to connect to your server. If you have already uploaded your site, then these settings would be correct. If using Cyberduck with incorrect settings, you would not be able to connect to your hosting space full stop.
    Anyway, you said that you were just uploading the contents? If this is the case, perhaps if some of your links do not work, then you have not uploaded all the files that you need to. If uploading the contents of your site folder, then when Cyberduck asks you to upload, or you click it under action at the top, it will ask you to select the files - normally you would go to User and then Sites and then click on your site folder. When this shows up, click on the first file that is shown and do a select all and this will then upload all the contents. Check to ensure that all the html pages are there, plus their relevant folders - these folders contain all the CSS - so for each html page their is a folder of the same name e.g. About Us.html and About Us folder. There are also feed files that need to be uploaded too.
    What you can try to see if it works is to upload your whole site folder and separate index file and see if the links work when you do this. Your url will be different if you do this, but just try it and see.
    The other problems when links do not work is that you could have either an image or another text box too near to the navigation menu or link that covers it up so that it will not work. Go into iWeb and check this by doing a command A to see placement and you can then move images and text boxes around if this is the case.

  • Continue / Retake Quiz buttons act differently when Publishing in SWF vs SWF/HTML5

    Hi, I use Captivate 7 and when I compare what I publish as SWF/HTML5 with SWF only it seems that there are 2 issues with the SWF/HTML5  site on Chrome (also on Safari)
    Issue 1
    I have 1 quiz on a course and I have set the Quiz setting to require a Pass to continue. I put the "Retake" Quiz button over the "Continue" button so it covers the continue if the person fails and will show the continue button only if the person passes. (I had also changed the Caption on the Continue button to say Print Certificate)
    This works when I publish the course as SWF only. When I publish as SWF/HTML5 and view on Chrome/Safari then when the person fail it seems that the "continue" button still shows and makes the "retake quiz button" transparent or behind the continue button. If the person passes then it works fine.
    Issue 2
    In the same example if click the "continue" button several time it the website continues even though the person had failed
    Not sure if anyone has found this an issue or has a better way for not making the Continue button to appear if the person has failed.
    My objective was that there was a Certificate document after the quiz and if the person passes then they can go get the Certificate. If they fail then they cannot go tto the next slide to get the certificate. Maybe there is a better way to do this ?
    thanks
    Hatim

    OMG, just checked it out and you are right: the Review button appears always on top of the Retake button. Please, log a bug report, will do as well. This is really very annoying because the terminology can be confusing,
    For SWF I found a workaround: change the stacking order in the Results Master slide, send the Review button Back. That seems to work. But for HTML5-output, no way... Review is always on top of Retake. I also played with unchecking, and rechecking but cannot find a solution.

  • Captivate 7 exit button does not work when published to LMS

    I recently published a course using Captivate 7 and uploaded it to our LMS.  During the review of the course it was noticed that the Close or Exit button on the controller did not work in IE.  However, it did work in Chrome.
    I have looked through this forum and found that there were similar issue with older versions of Captivate.  However, we have course published with Captivate 6 on our LMS in which the Close or Exit button does work.
    Does anybody have a solution for this problem?  Do we know if there is an update scheduled to fix this problem?
    Please let me know
    Dawn

    1.  Create a button in Captivate and assign a javascript call to "MyExit()"
    2.  Create a .js file called CourseExit.js.
    3.  Place the following code into that file.
    function MyExit()
      var SD = window.parent;
    if (blnReachedEnd == false && confirm("Would you like to save your progress to resume later?")){
    SCORM2004_CallSetValue("cmi.exit", "suspend");
    SCORM2004_CallSetValue("adl.nav.request", "suspendAll");
      else{
    SCORM2004_CallSetValue("cmi.exit", "");
    SCORM2004_CallSetValue("adl.nav.request", "exitAll");
    Unload(true);
    4.  Place the CourseExit.js into the "assets/js/" in the published folder
    5.  Add "<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="assets/js/CourseExit.js"></script>" to the html file that was output on the publish.
    I was able to set this up on the set up files on the local hard disk but so all I had to do was create a button and add the "MyExit()" code to the button, but when the next update came out it reset the hard disk files.  So, I have just resorted to updating the output file as seen above.
    Hope this helps.

  • Buttons not working on published SWF Captivate 2 project

    I have published a daisychained Captivate 2 project in three
    pieces, all published as SWF. The first piece plays fine, but a
    user has to push a button to choose to either go to the second
    piece OR the third piece. The button was designed so that when
    pressed, it would open another CP project. The buttons in the
    published pieces make the clicking sound, but otherwise do nothing.
    When I published this as an EXE project with three pieces, the
    buttons did what they were supposed to do. I'd prefer to use SWF
    published output instead of EXEs. Any ideas as to what might be
    happening to prohibit the buttons from performing?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Welcome to our community
    If you are emailing the Captivate published file, likely the end user is running it from a temporary folder from their C drive. And that causes a security issue with Flash.
    If you insist on using the eMail method of distribution, you need to also instruct the user to save the attached files to a specific location, launch the HTML file. Then ensure they configure their Flash player security settings to acknowledge the location where they saved the files as being safe.
