CP4 playback control bug/"feature"

I am playing with upgrading to CP4, but when I publish my projects, the playback control is moved from within the movie to below the movie. Is this a bug or "as designed"?
We have dozens of CP3 movies that are sized to display within a specific UI, say 800x600.  The playback control is set to display within that 800x600 area.  Now, when I publish in CP4, I get a movie that is 800x624, because it is shoving the playback control outside the movie. This sets up for a lot of rework for us, and makes me question whether the upgrade is worth it.
Thanks for any advice,
Bob

Ok, but why are they not applicable?
When I right click a project and do sourcecontrol->update, I expect my project to be updated.
If you don't update new folders, then the project is immediately corrupted by this action: The .jpr file contains references to files in folders that do not exist. If you click on one of the non-existant files in the navigator (where they do appear, since the .jpr references them), jdeveloper creates a new empty file. A subsequent update folder command will then fail with 'move away file x, it is in the way' messages.
Greetings,
Ivo

  • How to add a custom multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?

    How to add a custom skin in multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?  As it is being played...
    I need a time line so any part of the what is being played can be found by time, ie at 1 minute and 30 seconds in and continues for 45 seconds out of a 50 minute audo.

    If you're talking about a playback controller within the rich media annotation (RMA) then you need to write your own widget in Flash or Flex, and then place the video and widget files using the multimedia "Add Flash" tool in Acrobat instead of the "Add Video" tool. Aside from a bunch of proprietary code to handle events, commenting and the API (which you can live without for basic play-pause-scrub applications), video RMAs are just an embedded SWF file containing an FLVPlayback component. The skin and the video file itself are added to the RMA as resource entries. You can build your own version and have it display whatever controls you want, provided you know how to write ActionScript!
    If you're talking about a controller that's external to the RMA (e.g. a series of links or buttons elsewhere on the page) then in the past you would use FLV video files and the 'cue points' feature that's built into Acrobat - however Adobe removed the ability to create FLV files in the latest version of CC, so unless you have CS6 or earlier it's a non-starter. Instead you can manually set playback start points using the special "multimedia operations" link action in your PDF - though stopping playback at a defined point is very difficult without FLV cues. For that you're back to writing your own widget.

  • IPad mini losses playback controls/capabilities using shared library content videos

    While accessing my shared "authorized" video library on my MacBook Pro, using the latest iTunes version (as of this submission), with my sparkling new iPad mini, the playback controls simply disappear usually after a few minutes, i.e. no progress bar, buttons for stop/start/pause/"done".
    The video stream from the shared library cannot be stopped without the on-screen controls so we either attempt to turn off the unit (pressing the top on/off button) or (usually) press the home button after which the video stream/app stops then return to the expected ipad screen but the residual sound stream will continue to run indefinitely.
    Most of the time, we hit the home button to end the video playback then wait for the sound stream portion to end which on average takes up to 1-5 minutes to stop completely.
    This is repeatable too. 
    SUMMARY:
    1). Without power cycling, we can play a video from the shared librar
    2). then wait long enough for the video controls to "go missing" or again go unresponsive
    3.) then press the home button which returns you to your normal iPad screen
    4.) but the sound stream portion will take a while to take its course before ending.
    Also, we gave power-cycling between issues but the each and every time, the shared library video playback inevitably ended up with same results.
    iPad mini with iOS 6.1.3 factory , wifi only unit with legitimate software, etc. I.e. no jailbreak nonsense.
    Any suggestions?  Or is this a glitch/bug which needs addressing?  Or a simple setting on the unit?
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I have nearly the same problem, but with an iPad 3rd generation. The symptoms are exactly the same, just a different device.
    You documented the problem well, I can only add that resetting and reloading did not solve the problem for me.

  • Video playback control won't show after upgrade to 3.1

    Hi,
    I have a iPod Touch 2nd Generation. After upgrading from 2.2 to 3.1, when I tap the video during video playback, the playback control won't show. I have to tap it many many times in order for the playback control to show. Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? It is upsetting to pay for an upgrade that would break existing behavior.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem and the reset didn't fix it. In fact I went in to the store and the Apple Genius saw the issue and replaced my ipod with a rebuilt ipod that had ipod 2.x software. I upgraded it to 3.2 and once again the playback controls don't show up. Called support and they think it's a bug ... hoping for a fix.
    Any ideas?

  • Playback control changes when animation is inserted into anothr movie

    Hi,
    I have created a couple of movies and used a specific
    playback control. When these movies (saved in swf format) are ran
    separately, everything is fine and the appropriate palyback control
    is shown. However, when I insert these animation (swf) into another
    project, the playback control are different of this animation are
    different !!! Any idea ?

    Hi,
    The problem still exists even if I have re-created the child
    movies (swf version 8) with other playback control.
    I have removed the playback control of the child movies and
    then just re-imported them back to the master movie. The master
    moview has been then published to EXE and it is fine (the child
    movies dies not show anymore the playback control).
    Then i have re-inserted the playback control into the child
    movie, and re-imported them back into the master, then the master
    published to EXE. And the problem is back, the child movies are
    showing a diffeent playback control (the same as dpierre - the skin
    used is dark grey, align top left, and the buttons don't actually
    work.)
    Is there a way to clear any cache that exists in the files
    (if the problem is the chache) ? I have a huge project with 20-25
    child movies to import into the master movie. It looks like a bug
    ?

  • Playback Control in Captivate 4 as it was in version 3

    Hi!
    I have some projects made using the version 3.
    When publishing them in that old Captivate, the playback control (stop, pause, etc buttons) was placed inside the borders of the project, so the measures of the whole movie (swf file) wasn't being changed.
    But in the Captivate 4 the additional thick lines are added automatically. So the navigation bar becomes placed on them, not inside the project. Therefore the measures (width/height) of the swf file is increased and that is unacceptable for me.
    How can I configure my Captivate 4 to publish the playback control as it was in the previous version?
    I mean covering the presentation, but not taking the navigation bar out.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there
    Unfortunately they changed that aspect. No workaround exists that I'm aware of. About all you can do is lodge your compliaint with the development team using the Bug form. (link is in my sig)

  • "Back" functionality in playback control

    Hi,
    I've published my output in Captivate 3. A strange occurrence: sometimes, when I click "back" in succession in the playback control, the previous slides are displayed and sometimes the movie gets stuck on a certain slide and is unable to go backwards.
    Any explanation for this?
    Thanks, DGR

    Hi there
    Just thinking about this from a logical standpoint.
    You have a playhead that is in motion moving from frame to frame. Along the way it may be stopped at various places awaiting some interaction or it may suddenly be moved to a different position. So repeated (and possibly fast) clicks on the back button might possibly confuse the issue. For example, if the playhead reached a point where it was suddenly supposed to skip to a different slide and you happened to click Back to move it to the skip ahead point. I could see that causing confusion.
    All this is pure speculation. But I'm wondering if it's having a play in the scenario you are listing.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do I get rid of a second playback control?

    Good afternoon.  I inherited a course created in Captivate 2.0 which needed updates.  It has a playback control on the bottom of the screen and one on the top, right hand portion of the screen.  I went into Project-->Skin but I can't seem to get rid of the one on the right of the screen.  Can you help?
    Thank you.

    Hi there
    Is this what you are seeing?
    Click the image below for larger view
    If that's the second controls you are referring to, those are only there when you preview. They don't end up in the final output.
    If that's not what you are seeing, please insert an image (don't attach, insert!)

  • Playback control covers presentation

    This is my second post to the forum. I apologize for my
    horrible screen-name. Everything I tried kept getting rejected, so
    I just hit random keyboard keys. :)
    Anyway, I've been having problems with the playback control.
    It appears on-top of the finished presentation, instead of just off
    to the side (or bottom/top). If there a way around this, or do I
    just need to leave space in my slide layout for the playback
    control?
    Thanks for you help!
    Bryan

    Welcome to our community, Bryan
    As you are new to the community, I'm assuming it's a safe bet
    you are using Captivate 2 or 3? If so, try clicking Project >
    Skin... > Borders tab and seeing if you have a border enabled.
    The Borders feature moves the playback control into its own
    area on the presentation. However, this has the side effect of
    causing an additional .SWF to be created. Assuming you want the
    playback moved off the main part of the movie and still maintain a
    single .SWF to distribute, you need to click Project > Resize
    Project... and make the project taller. Then ensure the man part of
    the movie isn't rescaled, but positioned so it leaves room for your
    playback controls to sit in their own area.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Extra phantom playback controls

    I have a quiz with several imported swfs in it. All of a
    sudden the swfs now have an extra set of playback controls
    (additional to the skinned controls down the bottom) on the top
    left-hand corner - when I publish the project.
    You can see an example of this here:
    http://www.clickview.com.au/richard/extra-play-controls.gif
    These controls don't actually work however. How do I get rid
    of them please? It's very frustrating. Thanks.

    I had this problem when I published projects to SWF with
    embedded playback controls and then embedded two or more such SWF
    files into a project with no playback controls (for some reason
    importing only one didn't cause problems). The way I got around
    this was to publish the project with playback controls as Flash 8
    format. Although this forces me to publish multiple SWF files with
    my final project, this worked for me.
    Based on what was happening to me (the playback control that
    was appearing was NOT in my original files), this appeared to be a
    bug.

  • How do you fix scaling issue with any video playback control bar (too small to see) on Firefox 28?

    Using a 3200x1800 dpi resolution lap top (Samsung Ultrabook 9 series), when I want to play videos on a webpage, the playback control bar (runs across the bottom of a given video for settings like play, pause, sound level, etc.) is too small to see. I tried scaling using various methods, Windows 8.1 OS, Firefox ad-ons like No squint with no success. Of course, these tools work to rescale everything else but the playback control bar. This is not a problem on IE as when you rescale, everything including the playback control bar
    rescales. Thanks

    You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

  • Can Captivate 7's playback controls control Flash swf files?

    Hi folks,
    I have created a swf file using Adobe Flash and I have imported it as an animation slide in Captivate 7. I have turned on the playback controls to just have the play button and the progress bar. When I export the presentation, the playback controls do not work. The scrubber moves as the presentation is playing, but I can't pause the presentation. When I stop the scrubber or even move it left or right, it does not affect the presentation and it just keeps playing. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to have to create a custom nav bar in Flash as it would just be easier to use Captivate's playback bar.

    I don't think it can be expained quickly as it can be very complicated. But...
    Select New Project/Widget in Flash and choose static widget. You need to be very adept in AS3 to actually get them to work.

  • Looking for better playback controls

    When I create FLV files for web streaming directly through
    Adobe Flash, I
    can take advantage of many choices of playback controls, my
    favorite one
    being the ArcticExternalAll. The downside: RIPing my slide
    shows takes
    hours.
    The newest version of ProShow Producer has greatly improved
    Flash export,
    allowing me to create high-quality Flash files directly from
    it in a
    fraction of the time -- minutes instead of hours. Its
    downside: Only a
    use-it-or-not choice of one playback control, and it's a
    lousy one.
    I would like to learn more about these playback controls:
    - Which file is responsible for designating the controls, the
    SWF or the
    FLV?
    - Can the user swap one control for another?
    - Can I take the external ArcticExternalAll.swf and somehow
    patch the video
    to include the control file?
    Any input is appreciated...

    I misspoke, then, or I was not specific enough. I take AVI
    files and import
    them into Flash and then publish them as FLVs. That is the
    sum total of my
    experience using Flash.
    However, I am an advanced computer user and a quick study, so
    if you were to
    point me in the right direction, that is likely all I would
    need...

  • Create playback controls for Timeline in sync with audio?

    Hi All,
    Technically, I've combined two questions into one. Firstly, can someone offer some insight on how to create playback controls for an Edge animation so the user can essentially "scrub" the timeline or navigate to a specific point on the timeline. I know you can create buttons to "sym.play()" different areas but I was wondering if there was a more streamlined solution (something similar to video playback controls.) Next, I'd like the user to be able to skip to different locations while the music remains in sync with the animations. I've created a few buttons to attempt to achieve this but the music plays independently regardless of where I jump to on the timeline.
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    I had some ideas why that may be so, but then, when I thought about it, properly, i have no idea why it is that way. Maybe it is because audio has a higher priority than graphics, in OS X, but if I remember correctly, it was like this before OS X. Maybe there is an offset for latency compensation, but they made it too large. (it seems to be the same amount, no matter what the buffer size is)
    just to make sure we are seeing the same thing. on my (somehat old) G4 I'm seeing about 60ms difference.
