Controling Captivate Slide elements from flash widget

I am creating a widget in Flash and I am able to control the captivate movie by widget. But I do not know how to control the elements (clickbox, highlightbox or images) appearing on slide.
Is it possible to show/hide and image appearing in captivate slide from flash widget.

I have the same issue.
I have a button "Button_1" that I am trying to turn invisible, and have tried:
var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
mainmov.slide0__color_mc.Button_1.visible = false;
Also tried:
mainmov.Button_1.visible = false;
Neither works.

Execute script from Flash Widget

Hello everyone,
I'm on a panel, and I just wanna know:
is it possible to execute a script from a flash widget, and how?
I was thinking of Flash' "getURL()" function, without any success.
The idea is that I want to make some sort of form in flash (since it's the only way to give the user custom input, according to me) and execute a script using the user's input...
Any ideas??
TIA, Robin

Please refer this article

You also can create a Flash Panel which can call extendscript with FlexBuilder/FlexSDK + Adobe Flash Panel SDK.

Can you control the OS Volume from Flash

hi guys, Can you control the master windows OS volume from
within flash.
My understanding is that within the soundobject.volume, 100
mean 100% of the current windows volume setting.
Can control the windows setting seperatly as well (the same
way you could/can in Director)?
Rich

Yes - the JavaScript that's in export.js was rolled into inline code in the Java jar files sometime during version 11.5.
It's no longer customizable.
An option is to use HTTP Filter on your Java Web App to modify the outgoing JavaScript instream, but that's never a pretty solution.

Is there any way at all of accessing captivate variables from flash?

Hi,
I would be grateful for any help on this one. I have been working in flash and I wanted to know whether there is any way at all of calling/accessing captivate 4 variables from flash (I'm working in flash Cs4 Actionscript 3.0 and I'm trialling Captivate 4, but I just want to know whether there is any way/method of communicating between a flash file and a captivate 4 file, and if so, can this be done with an embedded captivate 4 file/swf). Surely there must be a way of communicating between the two - they are both Adobe products!
Thanks for any help, pointers, advice, tips in advance.

Hi Louon,
Don't know if this would help you.

Controlling Captivate movies from a parent Flash movie

Hello, i am in the works of onverting my old AS2 code, for controlling Captivate movies lodaded into a Flash container, over to AS3 becasue of the transition to Captivate 5. There were some weird issues in AS2 and Captivate 3 which i fortunately vere able to solve when i first made this container. Now i am getting weird and unpredictable results when trying to set the appropriate variables in the Captivate move. The main culprit is: rdcmndRewindAndStop, it does indeed rewind the movie, but... it starts playing again... Could anyone be so kind to give me the reason why or better even provide me with a solution to this unneeded change, its quite annoying, and no rdcmndPause does not help, not before rdcmndRewindAndStop or after, the movie is happily trottling along...
sincerely
Frustrated developer with a bloody short deadline

Hello and thanks for replying, yes it worked! But... we have to manually edit 40+ files to make this stupid thing to work... Do you know if there is any way i can put those scripts in a flash object, or better even modify the movie from the parent container? This is making our production process way longer than is affordable tbh, a single project consists usually of over 100 captivate movies, and we simply can't manually edit each and every one of them.
I wish i could get my hands on a Captivate developer ;p

How to integrate adobe flash widgets from Adobe captivate with Adobe Presenter?

Hi all,
We are a group of students who are creating a number of flash widgets that allows them to create e-learning activities. We are creating specific widgets in Flash for use in Captivate and then the results of the widgets in Adobe Presenter. The client noticed that widgets that work in Adobe Captivate don't always work in Adobe Presenter. Is there a way to make this function correctly?
Secondly, if it isn't possible to make that work correctly through the first method, is it possible to utilise Adobe Air to do the same or similar process. The client would prefer if we could integrate anything we use with an LMS and SCORM. But we believe it may not be possible to do this with Adobe Air.
Would someone be able to help us out with this?
Thanx

Some of the functionalities of CP4 (I assume that you use this version?) only work in a CP-published SWF, p.e. using the right mouse click as a trigger. I have inserted several CP-SWF's into Adobe Presenter, while using some of the widgets provided with CP4 and did not have any problems with these (p.e. Flash button). But I do not know what kind of widgets you created. Do they function all right in CP4 itself?

Passing Captivate variables to Flash widget

Hello,
I'm developing a simple progress bar widget in Flash to add to a Captivate course I'm building. I believe what I want to do is very simple, but I appear to be missing something.
Quick synopsis:
I have created a variable in Captivate 5.5 called intProgress which should be a percentage of a student's progress through the course. I set this manually via an Advanced Action upon entering the slide.
I've also created a Progress Bar widget in Flash 5.5. It consists of nothing more than a manual progress bar component in Flash.
I want to feed that intProgress value from Captivate into my Flash widget, and have the progress bar update accordingly.
Here is my function (aPb is my progress bar) -
function courseProgress(intPercentage)
aPb.setProgress(intPercentage, 100)
And here is how I am trying to pass the variable over:
courseProgress(MovieClip(root).intProgress);
It doesn't look like the variable is coming across from Captivate to the widget. How can I correctly do this?
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong and/or what I'm missing here.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
Daniel

Cool - I've found out how to access my custom variable thanks to your help. Right now, I'm using a simple text field as a debug (instead of the progress bar) just until I get everything sorted out.
In the cpSetValue function of the widget, I tested with the slide name variable you provided first:
myText.text = "label:" + m_VariableHandle.cpInfoCurrentSlideLabel;
And then progressed onward to my custom variable.
myText.text = "prog:" + m_VariableHandle.intProgress; (my custom variable)
So I have full connection to those, they're reading perfectly. That m_VariableHandle is giving me the connection I need (good to know for the future).
They're just not getting updated. It just keep showing the values for the first slide - for both the SlideLabel and the custom variable. So now my trouble lies not in the reading of the variable, but the updating of it - to get the most current value. That's a step forward though, very happy about that.
To answer your question - yes, I'm doing a variable modification on every slide enter. I'll set my intProgress variable to 5, then maybe 10 on the next slide, then 15, etc. It's very important that I set that manually, as my project is not linear. In other words, there may be a trail of 10 slides later on that are a "side" branch - and not part of the course progression.
So, thanks again for your help. I'm a whole lot closer than I was before!

IFrame element from other website breaks Muse's basic slideshow widget

I'm not sure if this is a bug or what, but the minute I add this iframe element from a website that has a calendar on it, my site stops functioning and the slide show dissapears. I've tested this in different ways and it all seems related to the iframe. I'm not sure if this is just simply a z-index issue, or something bigger. Essentially, adding this iframe element makes the slideshow widget dissapear. Deleting the iframe element allows the slideshow to reappear and function properly.
Here is the test site bundled up for anyone who wants to experiment with it:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9wWFBnMitXKX3ZLWGk5c2EwLVE/edit?usp=sharing
Just preview in browser and you'll see it stops functioning, but if you delete the calendar iframe, the slideshow will function normally again.
So, is this a bug? Its a pain in my *** because this is the final element that I need for my website! Just getting this to work and I'm set! An incredible frustration that I'm stopped by such a simple thing like this.
Can anyone else confirm that what I'm experiencing is accurate?

Since upgrading to CS6, fxg exports from flash are missing elements, is there a fix?

With CS5.5 I could export vector art from Flash and open it in illustrator. Now with CS6 I cant do that without breaking everything apart if flash first. This can cause masks to be lost and is a lenghty and complicated process. If I don't break everthing apart not all the layers are imported on the fxg when opened in illustrator. Does anyone know of a solution for this?

Above is a screenshot of artwork in flash. Below is the result after exporting an fxg and opening in illustrator.
It does work if I go into the group and then export (or break everything apaprt so they are no longer in groups). Some files I work with have loads of grouped elements with layer masks making it very complex to break apart and export as fxg. Previous versions allowed export in one step, I could then unlock layers or show hidden layers in the illustrator file. The masks would be imported too.

How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)? I tried backup & restore without success. I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there. Only the text that I entered shows. I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

UPDATE: By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored. When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer. Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location). No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact. I am appreciative that I just got lucky. The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help. If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product. Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed.
Bottom line: All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer. I hope my experience helps others.

Link to RH topics from embedded Captivate slide?

RH10, WebHelp, Captivate 6
Hi,
I've been using RH for years, but I'm new at Captivate.
I want to have a rollover effect in a WebHelp topic, whereby the user can hover the mouse pointer over a graphic and a window will pop up. Inside the pop-up window will be hyperlinks to topics within the same WebHelp project.
My understanding so far is that I can insert a Captivate slide in WebHelp topic to achieve this. The Captivate slide would contain the background graphic, and a "rollover slidelet".
My question is, at what point do I create the hyperlinks to WebHelp topics in the slidelet? Must I do this in Captivate, and if so how do I specify the target path of the link?
Or can I do this linking after I embed the Captivate slide and slidelet into the WebHelp project?

Hmmm, for some reason I keep forgetting they added that capability to Captivate 6.
Okay then, what you have to do is consider where the Captivate movie will be (as in what folder) at the time it is presented within the WebHelp. So if you are linking to topic XXX.htm and inside RoboHelp, that topic is inside a folder named FolderOne, it's going to depend on the folder the Captivate movie is in. Often, they are inserted at the project root. So if this turns out to be the case, you would insert the following into the field:
FolderOne/XXX.htm
I'll give my theory a try and see if it works for me.
Keep in mind that the links will likely fail when you test locally unless you add the project location to the list of trusted locations for the Flash Player.
Cheers... Rick

Will I be able to up load video slide shows from Elements to Revel?

Please let me know if I will be able to up load video slide shows from Elements to Revel? I currently enjoy photoshop.com because I can share photo albums and video slide shows from Elements with my family. I am worried because I don't see any home page or tool bar on my new Revel account. It's like there's nothing there?? Am I missing something?
Help !!! Robert [edited out phone number to protect user's privacy] USA Please call me, I can't find any phone number for me to call for customer service.
Thanks !

Currently, Revel supports jpg files only. We are adding many enhancements so this may change in the future. Reading some of our FAQ's might be helpful for you to get some more information, so I will include some here for you. Only version 11 of elements has connectivity with Revel, but you can upload files from your computer as well.

Captivate crashing when I insert a flash widget??

Any ideas? I am using Captivate 5.5

Hi,
Welcome to Adobe forums.
Can you please try this on a blank project. If you're trying this on a blank project, then please try to insert any other widget and see if that is working or not.
Thanks

Control DHTML layer from flash

I am working on my portfolio site www.pandadesign.com and in
the "book" section I want to call a DHTML layer with a flash button
but alas I do not know how to do this...So here i am asking the
Flash gods of the net for a little help..
alos i know there is a way to have the flash UNDER the dhtml
element, something to do with the embed tag...
Thanks
Ramachan

Not considering myself a flash god :-) but I maybe can help.
In the good old days you would use fscommand -- in Flash 8
there is a new way to do this with externalInterface. Anyway, you
would need to have a javascript function in DHTML that reacts on
the call from Flash and does everything necessary in DHTML.
There is no way to have Flash (or any other active-x object)
UNDER dhtml, by definition. You may find that setting the z-index
will work on some browsers, but not always and everywhere.
Some people help themselves by setting WMODE=transparent, but
even that is known to cause problems in some browser
configurations.
If you specify what exactly you want to do, and what version
of Flash you're using, I might be able to help you a bit more
constructively. :-)
Good luck
Wolf
