Controling Html 5 content with captivate playbar

I have created a captivate module with html 5 animation in a slide when I pause the captivate module the animation continues and the audio and animation become out of sync

If you've created the Flash animation you could put an enterFrame listener to see if CP is paused or not and pause or play the animation. Make sure your animation is set to 30fps to match Captivate:
var cpVars = Object(parent.parent).getMovieProps().variablesHandle;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, slideFrameHandler);
function slideFrameHandler(e:Event):void
if (cpVars.rdcmndPause == 1)
stop();
else
play();

How can our customer edit our Captivate 6 content with Captivate 5?

Our company has decided to dive into the e-learning business and create e-learnings. We just purchased a Captivate 6 subscription, unfortunately before finding out our customer uses Captivate 5. He would like to edit our files once in a while when he needs to if he doesn't have enough time to have us do it. Is there anyway he can edit content produced in Captivate 6 with his Captivate 5. Can I export files of a certain type that he can in turn import and add to his Captivate 5 and edit himself? In other words, what kind of files can I export from Captivate 6 than he can import with Captivate 5 and make small changes to?
Vielen Dank,
 Ryan

Thank you. I see that I can export content as an .xml file. Isn’t this something he can upload with Captivate 5? Thanks for bearing with my naivety. : )

How to display html content with image in Adobe Flash and Flex mobile project?

Hi,
I have a html content with image in it. How to display it in Adobe Flash Builder and Flex mobile project? Which control needs to be used for this?

Hello,
The only current way is to use an iFrame, or if you only need some html tags you could use the Text Layout Framework.
Here this is the iFrame approach:

If the swc do not work in Flex4 just use its ource code which works...
...it is basically based on this:

Good night,
I am having a problem implementing projects generated in html5 and run on Chrome. The video does not run.
I think I found the solution, a correction patch for Captivate 7. But I just link and is broken.
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2014/07/update-on-captivate-html-5-content-playback-issue -in-google-chrome-browser.html
I have several e-learning generated with html5 and want to avoid make the change manually.
Does anyone have the patch and can share?
Thank U

I saw this email ID in a comment of that post. I guess you can send a mail asking for the fix.

Captivate 6 HTML 5 issue with scalable HTML5

Hi,
I am using Captivate 6, I have a very small project of only about 10 slides but when I publish this to 'scalable HTML content' all the shapes dissapear, and certain slides don't work at all.
However, when I take off 'scalable HTML5 content' it works fine. My issue is, because this will be used on different tablets of all sizes its hard to chose the 'apple ipad' size of project when some people have android tablets because then it does not fit on the screen!!
Is there anything I can do to make sure it does work for all tablet sizes as the 'scalable' content is not working at all!!!
Thanks!

Hi Hannah,
Great to hear that it is working! I have seen these bizzare issues with Captivate and that was the only reason I suggested a copy paste at first. The only thing could be the corruption of the project.
I am glad that its resolved.
Thanks!

How can servlet return the output as html content with drawing picture?

Does anybody know how can a servlet return the output as html content with drawing picture?
The drawing picture is drawn at runtime by the servlet.

Thanks, BalusC.
But I am not sure if I understand your reply fully.
From my understanding, you are telling me to first generate a html from a servlet with the image <IMG> tag pointing to a servlet which will be responsible to generate an image?
For example, <IMG SRC="http://myserver/servlet/testservlet">
Could you confirm this?

Setting html content with setContent() does never show images

I've an application set sets dynamically generated html-content in a webview node by using the webengine.setContent() method. This generated html content uses image-tags.
Here's the problem: the image is not displayed. I tried all variations (absolute url like "http://localhost/c:/test.png" or "file://c:/test.png", relative urls like "test.png" with png in jar-file).
Anyone out there who has a workaround for me? I appreciate any comment.

one non-working apple <img src="apple.png"> You loaded the page content with loadcontent, then inside the page content provided a relative url. This is likely an error.
The question is, what is this url relative to?
The answer is either likely undefined as no protocol was used to load the page content and so it can't be determined how to load the relative url resource.
and two non-working peaches <img src="http://localhost/c:/peaches.png">
You attempted to load content using the http protocol server on the localhost, but you have no such server on the host, so this cannot work.
and a working remote image url <img src="http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/javafx/images/javafx-documentation.png">
This works because you fully specified how to load the content by providing the protocol and valid resource reference.
OK, so the question remains how do you images from the local drive?
There are three options for this in the following code.
package org.jewelsea.examples.webviewlocal;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.beans.value.*;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.FlowPane;
import javafx.scene.web.WebView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
/** Example of a webview loading resources from the file system. */
public class WebViewLocal extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(new HandlerFactory());
 launch(args);
public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
 final FlowPane layout = new FlowPane();
 WebView webView = new WebView();
 webView.getEngine().load("file:///C:\\dev\\gettingstarted\\timeforgotten.html");
// webView.getEngine().load("jar:file:///C:\\dev\\javafx\\JavaFXidea\\out\\artifacts\\JavaFXidea_jar\\JavaFXidea.jar!/org/jewelsea/examples/webviewlocal/timeforgotten.html");
// webView.getEngine().load("resource:///org/jewelsea/examples/webviewlocal/timeforgotten.html");
 webView.getEngine().getLoadWorker().exceptionProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Throwable>() {
 @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Throwable> observableValue, Throwable oldThrowable, Throwable newThrowable) {
 System.out.println("Load exception: " + newThrowable);
 // layout the scene.
 layout.getChildren().addAll(webView);
 Scene scene = new Scene(layout, 1000, 600);
 webView.prefWidthProperty().bind(scene.widthProperty());
 webView.prefHeightProperty().bind(scene.heightProperty());
 stage.setScene(scene);
 stage.show();
}which loads the following html file:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">p { color: sienna; font-size: 20px; text-align: center; }</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="cornsilk">

 
 On either side the river lie, 
 Long fields of barley and of rye, 
 And through the fields a road runs by, 
 To many towered Camelot.

<img src="camelot.jpg"/>
</body>
</html>If you want to test this example the camelot.jpg image is downloadable from http://www.timelessmyths.com/arthurian/gallery/camelot.jpg.
Option 1: The file:// protocol for lookup from the filesystem.
This is the most straight-forward as it is just based on standard html layout in the filesystem - just place your html and it's relative referenced images somewhere in your filesystem in locations relative to each other - if your browser loads it properly, then your webengine will to if you give it the right file:// path.
In the case of file:///C:\\dev\\gettingstarted\\timeforgotten.html, timeforgotten.html is placed in c:\dev\gettingstarted and camelot.jpg image is placed in the same directory.
Option 2: The jar:file:// protocol for lookup from a jar hosted on the filesystem.
This makes use of the http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/JarURLConnection.html to find your resources.
If your application resources are packaged in a jar file (could be the same jar file as your main application class) then you can reference the jar file through the file protocol, then pick out the resources packaged in the jar file via their relative paths.
Option 3: The resource:// protocol for lookup based on the classpath.
This type of resource lookup is the one most Java programmers are familiar with - a classloader is used to load a resource. The pattern is widely used in web application frameworks on the server. But usually the means to do this is via a classloader.getResource() call, not via a URL.
Java does not, by default, have a URL protocol handler for looking up resources on the classpath, so if you want to do this, it is necessary to create your own protocol and install it.
The installation function is the commented out line: // URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(new HandlerFactory());
It is a system wide call for the VM and should be called (just once) before any URL Connections are established.
To get this to work I used a resource handler from http://www.arakhne.org/arakhneVmutils/index.html which included the following classes:
java.org.arakhne.vmutil.resource.Handler
java.org.arakhne.vmutil.resource.HandlerFactory
java.org.arakhne.vmutil.resource.URLConnection
java.org.arakhne.vmutil.ClassLoaderFinder
java.org.arakhne.vmutil.Resources
java.org.arakhne.vmutil.ResourceNotFoundException
java.org.arakhne.vmutil.URISchemeType
java.org.arakhne.vmutil.URLHandlerUtilDetails on how all this works are in http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/protocolhandlers/ which defines "A New Era for Java Protocol Handlers" by defining a URL handler extension mechanism which is hardly ever used.
As a final note to my way overly long forum post, when the WebEngine doesn't process the urls sometimes you can get info on what went wrong via the monitoring the loadWorker's exception property, but sometimes I was able to get more complete stack traces by trying to open a connection on a URL to see if I had got the URL correct - for example:
 URL url = new URL("jar:file:///C:\\dev\\javafx\\JavaFXidea\\out\\artifacts\\JavaFXidea_jar!/org/jewelsea/examples/webviewlocal/timeforgotten.html");
 url.openConnection();Anyway, just using the file:// protocol in webEngine.load() will probably accomplish what you need.
Note that if it is a webstart or browser embedded app, then you'll need to sign it if you want to access the local file system.

HTML formatted email with international content displays wrong character

When reading HTML formatted email on the iPhone iOS4.1, it will sometimes display wrong characters.
Comparing email source content from various html formatted emails I can see that;
it displays incorrectly when:
- HTML formatted content
- Content type is marked as text/html with charset ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) which is the default html standard character encoding.
- The international characters are not written in html conversion format, i.e. ø instead of ø
It displays correctly when:
- The content is marked as text/plain and encoded as Quoted-printable
Anyway, the email which is display wrong characters on iPhone displayes correctly on OS X Mail app. Leading me to a temporary conclusion that it is a bug in iOS4.
Can anybody confirm this?

No matter which format you choose, you're sure to offend some recipients. Some people object to HTML, based on security or privacy concerns. Some prefer HTML because it's a more effective means of communication for some purposes.
If your default composition format is HTML (or plain text), hold Shift when you click Write, Reply or Forward to switch the format to the opposite type, or if HTML is the default, select Options/Delivery Format/Plain text only in the Write window to make a one-off change.

When I publish a SWF/HTML5 module with Captivate 8 and try to run it using IE9 - I get the following error "The content you are viewing is not supported in the current Document Mode" - anyone know why?

I've seen a lot of threads about getting rid of these kind of messages. Those messages are there for a reason most of the time. If you have CSS animations or other HTML5 standards that cannot be rendered in IE9 they won't magically start working becuse you got rid of a message. I use IE9 since that is the minimum standard for the client. I have never seen that message publishing to HTML5 content.
IMO, if your client has IE9 I think that you should develop with IE9 in mind not IE11.
When you say "develop with IE9 in mind not IE11" do you mean use SWF instead of HTML5? I used the standard question types, and a converted PowerPoint presentation. I didn't add anything out of the ordinary.

If I create and publish content with the trial version of Captivate 8 will it (the content) expire?

I see this is the case with Captivate 6, content expires 30 days after publishing or something like that.
Does anyone know if they have kept this "feature" with Captivate 8?
Cheers

Hi there
Indeed, to my knowledge it behaves the same way.
Logically, I would wonder what (if any) incentive Adobe would have to change it?

How do I control flash object with captivate play head?

Hi All,
I am a learner to the captivate.
I am having problem with animation-audio synching with captivate paly head. When I inserted an animation to the slid, It does not synch with the play head. So I lose the control of pause, next. I tried out synch to project option but it didn’t work out.
Can anybody help me in this. Should I write any script in animation or any widget is there…
I am using flash6 and captivate 5.5.
Thanks,
Arundhati.

Hello,
Nothing to do with button becoming inactive, really, but with the way the Effects are scripted. Will try to answer your question about the buttons however.
I'll try to explain the functionality of a button. A button typically has a pausing point that is visible on the timeline, right? The portion before the pausing point is the 'active' portion, which will mean that the user can click on the button and this will have results. When you click on a button, the action attached as Success action is triggered, in this example the Text Caption is set to visible. But at the same time the playhead is released and moves beyond the pausing point into the Inactive portion, which means that it cannot be clicked again.
Two possible solutions:
use a rollover caption instead of your click/text captions work flow.
Create a small advanced action BtShow1 and BtShow2 for each of the buttons, again I have screenshots ready but they are not accepted, bummer.... Will try to write the statements:
Show Text_1      for the first button, shows the correct Caption
Hide Text_2       hides the other caption that could have been shown by the other button
Assign rdcmndGotoFrame with rdinfoCurrentFrame            this expression puts back the playhead directly before the pausing point so that button remains active
You can duplicate this action to create Btn2, and you only have to reverse the ID's of the Text Captions
When you attach those actions to the buttons, you can click as many times as you want. You tell that you have searched the forums? Bit strange because I have been explaining this so many times, and blogged about this kind of micro-navigation (frame by frame):

PS: when updating, I can insert one image, will try to add the other one, in a second update perhaps

Hou to surpport the plug-ins in web browser with AIR mx.control.HTML

My app used the google earth plug-in in browser, but when i use AIR mx.control.HTML in FB3, the plug-in can not take effect, the tooltip is "The Google Earth Plugin is not currently installed."
It is always ok in IE, firefox

The plugin works only on Windows (Firefox and IE).

Cp6 - Have I reached the 'limits' of what can be done with Captivate?

Earlier, I wrote about a crashing problem with Captivate: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1140677
But it seems that the extra slides I have added have brought Captivate down to being so slow, it is unusable.
To get to the bottom of what is causing the problem; I started by hiding about 1/2 the slides and then publish, everything work... the course is responsive. Then I unhide a few more, publish again, and repeat. What I am noticing is that the responsiveness gradually becomes slower and slower.
At 22 slides, the course is already beginning to show some sluggishness; at 40 slides, the course is impossible to run (see my above listed thread).
What the heck is going on? This is unacceptable!
Have I done something wrong along the way? Is anyone else out there using Captivate to build full self-paced training?
I still need to insert another 15 slides before this course is complete but seem to have hit a roadblock!
I have also tested externalizing much of the content but that had zero affect!
Any advice?
BTW:
- Total size of project folder (components are externalized): about 5MB
- The course is self-paced, meaning that I use custom FORWARD/BACK button for navigation. I am not using a skin with a playbar.
- I have very few animations/aka Effects
Thank you,
Shawn

Thank you for your reply Andy.
(BTW- if you notice any weirdness in my reply - I am on my iPhone and mobile Safari isn't entirely compatible with this forum)
I agree, it isn't the number of slides that is the problem but perhaps it is the type of slide. I have 10 min video simulations of well over 100 slides that function perfectly.
However, this is my first time building an entire course in Captivate and I have noticed a trend in the course slowing down which each addition to the content.
Because this is self-paced with custom nav buttons (no playbar), each slide button controls pause at 2 sec (unless there is an Effect on the slide and more time is required). Typically, each of the 30-40 slides is between 2-4 seconds.
The learners can only jump to a specific slide via the TOC.
IMPORTANT NOTE: when I posted this message, there was a 6 second delay from clicking a nav button and the next slide appearing. However, since deleting 9 Smart Shapes (that acted as a topic menus that allowed the learner to jump to specific topics) - I have since replaced these Smart Shapes with simple bullets and all Jump To's removed. As a result, the unacceptable 6 second delay is reduced to about 2.5 seconds. Still not good but a significant improvement.
I have no audio but I do have inserted SWF software simulations. It is important to point out that removal of the sims had no affect on the responsiveness.
The poor responsiveness spans all tested systems both from with Captivate and as a published SWF (with and without externalizing resources).
Hosted on AICC LMS but in this situation, not relevant. :)
Thanks for your advice.

Can't view uPerform content with Flash Plugin 10.1.102.64

My company uses uPerform a product that we use to create flash based simulations and WBTs. After downloading the most recent version of the flash player, I have not been able to view existing content published on a server. When users accesss Flash content it displays a blank white or black screen. I have seen an article which seems to describe my issue entirely, but it was posted as an Adobe Captivate issue. There is a workaround for the product, but it directed towards users have problems with Captivate.
Here is a link to one of our published simulations:
https://rwdp.ebsp.msu.edu/ucontent/e2f402a4126b4d8e9c10210472f564ec_en-US/sim/flash//index .htm#
Similar known Captivate issue:
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/cp5-content-with-text-animations-not-working-with -latest-flash-player-version.html
The problem seems to be present in IE 7, IE 8, and Firefox. I attempted to follow uninstall directions and was directed to most recent version of the plugin. This issue is effecting thousands of our users.

You can find information on this issue at the ANCILE Product Support Center -- products.ancile.com. We recently posted a few blog articles on this issue and options to address.

PDF files not executing video created with Captivate

I create eLeaning videos with Adobe Captivate and the resultant video is generated in a PDF and HTM files. For some such elearning, the PDF is not working. the window opens and the bar for TOC and a small black window where the video loads, display. It is as if the video is in the process of loading but nothing happens.
I use windows 7 OS. Captivate is not an issue since the HTM files are generating correctly. Adobe Reader is also not an issue since some of the videos are loading perfectly. There are only some videos that are giving a problem. Any idea what could be wrong. Would appreciate if anyone has an advise.

Please add the source file and published output in Flash Player global settings .
You may use the link down below to check the process of adding content to Flash Player global settings. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=00000453.html
If it still doesn't work then please let me know the format of the video which are not working.
Regards,
Rajeev.
