Control bar exit button

I'm experiencing problems with the exit button on the Captivate 4 control bars. When in preview mode, when the "Exit" button is selected, the swf file closes immediately, but the htm page prompts the user and asks the following " The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close the window? I'm fine with that. However, when published, only the swf file closes. The htm file does nothing. The user has to select the "Exit" button on the browser window to close the project. Why does the Exit button not work when published as an htm file? Is there a way to resolve this problem?

Floor Plan Manager exit button

Can anybody help me in how to control the "Exit" button of the Floor Plan Manager. I don't want to create a custom "Exit" button. When user clicks on the "Exit" button, I want to take him to a different custom page.

Exit Button on Control Bar Working?

Holiday greetings to all.
The Exit button on the playback control bar (X) does not do
anything at all, much less exit the application on Chrome, Firefox,
or IE. Hover the mouse over the button, and the tooltip says
"Exit". But if this executes any action at all I can't figure out
what it is.
I tried to do a search on this, but entering Exit into the
search box seems to crash the web page, so I can't find out whether
this is a well known issue, and whether there is a workaround.
Thanks for any help.

It isn't designed to work in a web page, so far as I know. If
you publish as
exe, it works perfectly. You can turn off the exit button in
the skin
dialog.

Can you customize a control bar button function

I am a content designer, not a programmer, but I do like to
tinker.. and NEED to figure out how to change where the control
bar's EXIT button takes the user. I post my courses in the Pathlore
LMS, and right now, if somebody clicks the X on the control bar, it
closes Pathlore.
I want it to just either close that window, or take them back
to the previous screen but I see no way to do that with the control
bar control, or in the SKIN. Right now, Captivate assumes that all
users watch the movie to its end.. they do NOT.
A thousand thanks, the crabby programmer where I work told me
to figure it out for myself but I am a designer, not a programmer,
and feeling very lost and frustrated with Captivate right now.

A thousand kisses to Dilbert. I think I know enough Flash to
figure this out. Just pointing me in the right direction is a
wonderful thing.. why doesn't Adobe/Macromedia publicize this
more??? I thought this program was supposed to be for mere mortals.

Play and plause button and control bar are missing belw xfinity player

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [/questions/840891]</blockquote>
when watching video, can not see play and pause button and control bar, it is missing below xfinity player.

Ok BE...I took you advice and used a prebuilt skin, but tweeked it to get it looking how I wanted. However, now when I switch between the different videos, the playhead stays at the spot that it previously was. For example, if the playhead is currently 50% through video #1 and I click video #2, the playhead is still sitting at 50%. How would I reset the playhead to the beginning of the new video?
import fl.video.*;
var flvPlayer:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
addChild(flvPlayer);
flvPlayer.skin = "MySkin.swf";
flvPlayer.skinAutoHide = true;
flvPlayer.skinFadeTime = 300;
flvPlayer.x=78;
flvPlayer.y=89;
flvPlayer.width=640;
flvPlayer.height=360;
flvPlayer.source = "flv/Video1.f4v";
vid1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSetSource1);
function fl_ClickToSetSource1(event:MouseEvent):void
flvPlayer.source = "flv/Video1.f4v";
vid2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSetSource2);
function fl_ClickToSetSource2(event:MouseEvent):void
flvPlayer.source = "flv/Video2.f4v";
I know I need to do something in the setSource function, but don't know how.
Thanks.

Play and pause button and control bar are missing below xfinity player

when I want to watch a video noticed play and pause button and control bar are missing below xfinity player.

For the two soundchannel sounds you have, you will need to keep track if and which one is playing so that you can use some logic to stop the sound right after you mark where the sound was (position) so that you can resume playing it again when the play button is selected.
So if the stroke sound is started, you could assign a boolean variable named something like 'strokeplaying' to be true (setting the other sounds similar boolean false). Then, in your pause function you would test to see if strokeplaying is true and if it is, store the position property and stop the channel playing.
When play is selected, similarly, you test if that sound is true and if so you restart it using the position value you stored as the starting point. You do the same for the other sound... remembering that it is possible neither is playing when pause it clicked.

Exit button on Playback Control

I'm using Captivate 1. All of the buttons work except the
Exit button on the Playback Control. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
TILOTOHA

TILOTOHA,
If the Exit button on the playbar isn't working, I'm afraid
there's not much to be done about that. We have no control over the
functionality of the playback controls.
That said, are you previewing the movie from a web server?
Previewing locally or from a network drive imposes security
restrictions on the browser and the Flash Player, which is the
cause of most "it doesn't work" reports in these forums. The only
way to truly know if something is working is to test your files
from a web server, where the security restrictions are much
lighter.
Everybody Else,
I'm assuming you're adding your own Exit buttons on the last
slide? If so, there may be a better way. As most folks probably
know, the "correct" way to close a window at the end of a project
is to go into the Project Preferences and set the action for the
Project end options to "Close project". This usually works.
As a backup, you can also insert some Javascript code in the
slide navigation for the last slide in your project. This will
"double your chances" of being able to close the window, without
the user having to click anything:
1. Double-click the last slide and on the Slide Properties
dialog, select Execute JavaScript from the Navigation dropdown.
2. Click the Ellipses (...) button to the right of the
JavaScript field and on the Javascript dialog, type the following
code:
window.top.opener = window.top; window.top.close();
The extra bit of code at the beginning is an attempt to
prevent IE from asking the user whether they want to close the
window. It may not actually work, but it doesn't seem to do any
harm to leave it in.
Jill -
If the slide navigation thing doesn't work for you, the
"button" solution is simply to add a button to the slide,
double-click to view it's properties, change the On success action
to Execute JavaScript and then enter the code as shown
above.

Exit button issue in Captivate 5

Hi,
This is regarding the exit button on the playback controls. I have been using Captivate from version 2. Recently, started using version 5. When I published my simulation, the exit button is not working as earlier. It is also not working from- web server(IIS, Apache), when opened as pop-up as well. In local too however not working. I tried in both IE 7 and Firefox latest version.
I have seen the response from Adobe on this issue on this forum. It was quite surprising; it did not talk about the solution at all;
What I am not sure about is -
1. Why the exit button was working earlier versions.. why is it not working in latest?
2. Why should when simple code like top.close(); works fine (when coded inside the Captivate)?
3. Why is Adobe not acknowledging the issue?
4. Why there is no working around provided in the forums for this issue?
Could anybody please help me understanding this problem? I am really frustrated.
Thanks.

Happy New to all as well!
You are absolutely correct! The moment reporting is activated, the EXIT no longer functions. Although in my case, we are not using the time/slider bar but custom navigation buttons with an exit button on the last slide (and at the top of each slide).
This whole EXIT button issue (not just Cp 5 but Cp 6 as well) is nearly bringing me to the point of tears! This is really ridiculous! I am in a tough position right now where my manager may be wondering if I am right person for this job because I cannot make a little EXIT button work in our lessons.
"Solutions" or excuses that I have received
- Just remove the EXIT button -- No, we use a standard corporate template which hundreds of employees are already familiar with. To remove the EXIT button and instruct the learner to just close the browser would be unacceptable and a rather inelegant way to exiting a lesson.
- It is a tough issue that isn't Captivate's fault
With all due respect to the awesome person who keeps stating that, I have a feeling that you have not used other rapid elearning tools. Building an EXIT button in all the other major elearning tools is easy and works every time.
The source of my personal difficulty is that every other course that was built by previous developers (not using Captivate), all open in a child window and all have a working EXIT button.
I believe the PRIMARY reason for this problem might be in the fact that... inexplicably... Captivate does not offer an option to start a lesson in a CHILD window (i.e. separate browser window). This is why no javascript in the world will allow the tab to close (e.g. EXIT button). Closing a tab or browser window via javascript only works when the same instance was previously opened by a script using the window.open method. In other words, you can only use the javascript method to close an instance that was spawned via javascript.
This should explain why lessons published in Lectora (et al) always have working EXIT buttons every time and in every browser (minor exception is Opera for unrelated reasons).
The second red box is just another one of my problems with Captivate 6 (not related to this topic).
Solution????
I've been racking my brain trying to modify Captivate's HTML/javascript in order to carry over the AICC (or SCORM - same process) variables into a child window.
Like another participant stated, you can't simply rename the original index.html to index2.html and create a redirection like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open("index2.html","lesson","location=0,toolbar=0,status=0,resizable=1,width=975,he ight=600");</script>
<body>
Yes, I tried this as well... but unfortunately, it breaks the AICC to LMS connection. *BUT* I can promise one thing... using the above redirection, does guarantee that your EXIT button works every time! Pity the LMS connection breaks!
QUESTION?
Does anyone have advanced knowledge of javascript in order to code the INDEX.HTML to open the lesson in a child windows AND maintain a connection to the LMS?

Can I apply more than one keyword to images from the Control Bar?

I swear this used to work. I select multiple images in a project. I apply a keyword to the selection by clicking a keyword button on the Control Bar. It gets applied to all the selected images. I click another keyword - it gets applied to only the first selected image.

Michael, thanks for that quick response! Yes, that was it. Of course I don't know why I would have selected that option. It would seem to make sense to put this option in the Preferences instead of Edit - it would make it less easy to change accidentally.
Regards,
Francis.

I have added some sound files to my daughter's website (using Homestead as host). Sound files control bar doesn't show up right (but it does in IE). Any ideas?

In Firefox the control bar is gray and the play button kind of fades into the bar. In IE, it looks like it is suppose to - dark grey/black control bar with a big blue circle (on the left) with a bright white arrow inside of it (making it obvious as to how to play the mp3).

That interface is entirely based on what plugin is being used. For IE, it looks like Windows Media Player, and in your Firefox screenshot, it looks like the QuickTime plugin is being used.
Attached is what it looks like for me (Firefox on Mac). And it looks that way in Safari as well.
As a user, you could stop Quicktime from being used for ''audio/mpeg'' files, using the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/quicktime-plugin-play-audio-and-video#w_embedded-media
As a web-developer, if you want to control the media player interface, it might be better to convert your site to HTML5, then use the <audio> tag which doesn't require any plugin. For more info, read https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Using_HTML5_audio_and_video
You should probably ask in a web-developers forum.

Setting control bar to resume auto-play (Captivate 6)

Hi,
I am currently using Captivate 6 to create an eLearning course. We have decided to display the bottom control bar to allow flexibility for the student to move between screens in each lesson. Currently if the student uses the progress arrow in the control bar to move forward or backward the lesson pauses and the user has to press the Play button to resume the lesson.
Does anyone know of a setting within Captivate or whether it is possible to program the control bar so that it will resume auto-play mode whenever the student uses the progress bar to move back and forth within a lesson?
Cheers,
Richard

Hello and welcome
I think you are talking about scrubbing the progress bar? I don't know about a way to achieve AutoPlay. Moreover, if your course is not linear, it is not a good idea to give free navigation that way at all. Same for the buttons on the normal playbars. I almost never use it for that reason. Another way to allow free navigation is the TOC (which you can have in overlay so that it can be hidden/shown by the user). In the TOC it is easier to show chapters, and if you add labels to the slides, at least user will know where he is going to.
