Creating learning games with Captivate
Hello all, I am new to Captivate.
I want to create a learning game with Captivate, using an "Adventure" genre and using branched presentations. Possibly using conditional actions and widgets.
The idea is the player would make a series of decisions, and the process would lend itself to learning the subject.
Is it reasonable to expect a game like this could be made in Captivate? Are there any examples of this type of game (developed with Captivate)?
I would like to use the advanced actions power of questions slides in the game, so the decisions the player makes is recorded and informs the evolution of the game, but I am not sure if I can incorporate artwork/animations with question slides. I would like to accumulate data about the player response to drive the game. I would like to drape the question slides in art and animations- making the question slides more graphic and game-like than they are as a default.
As you can see, I have an idea, but do not know enough to know if Captivate is a program that well lends itself to this type of thing.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Hi Shawn,
As Rick suggested, Flash might be a better alternative to create the flash card. You could then import the animation in Captivate. The drawback will be that you will only be able to see it running when you publish the presentation and manually copy the XML file to the publication folder.
However, you could instead create a static widget and use a "Linked Widget" to deploy your XML file along with the Widget. This way, you should be able to see the Flash cards running in Preview and Publish mode without having to copy the file. I know it works but I never tried to deploy an XML file, only swf files but I don't see why it would not work.

HT4314 Create separate games with Game Center
My sister previously used my game center account to download a game on her own ipod. Now, she wants to play the game using her own game center account but everytime she deletes and re-downloads, game center updates and then associates her game with mine again. Essentially, we are playing exactly the same game at the same time. How can she delete the game and then start her own, or reset her own?
How hard is it to look at the game description to see if it uses GC ?? Virtually all that have scoring do.
Then again, you never bothered to even look in the App Store to see whether there was a GC section, and spent more time posting here than it would have taken to find out for yourself. -
How do I create a quiz with captivate 6.1 that can be loaded onto Moodle and scored?
Hi,
I am trying to create a simulation quiz based on a simulation the learner has previously seen. I need the learner to be be able to view the assessment in moodle and for them to get a score.
How do I do this?Not really, good practice would have been to check the 3 possible Captures:
Then you'll get automatically an Assessment. Compare the modes under Preferences, Recording, Modes to see the difference with your present software simulation. You can edit the software simulations to turn it into an Assessment but it is more work than capturing all at once (which would have resulted in 3 different cptx-files).
Advanced Interaction panel can be opened with F9 or as an option under Project menu.

Hi all
this might be a stupid question, but me really not well
understand what Flex was, and what the Flex purpose.
me have download the trial version of flex, and found it seem
more focus on coding and exclude the drawing things which similar
to Flash.
my question : is it possible to create Flash game with Flex ?
what could be done in Flash is it possible to done in Flex
too?
thankshi,
With flex you need to envoke the filereference function save. Because of the security sandbox you can not programmatically save files or create folders, you need to open a windows file browse box then the user can create a folder or save a file.
private function testme():void
var fi:FileReference = new FileReference();
fi.save("hello"); <=== this would open a system file save dialogbox

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.

Issue with Captivate 8 and SumTotal Learning Maestro LMS -
I get blank screen when launching course published as SCORM 2004 using Captivate 8. All publish settings are the same as used with Captivate 7 and all course properties and settings are the same in the LMS as courses published using Captivate 7. When course launches, instead of the opening screen from the course, a blank frame appears showing the course playbar and the LMS navigation bar. Opening screen does not appear until the play button on the playbar is clicked. Any idea why this is happening? Below is a screenshot of the blank frame.
Adding additional information about this problem. This appears to be related to issues between Chrome and the Captivate 8 course, but I am not certain exactly why. Today I redid the Captivate 8 file, using a working Captivate 7 file. I published the course using Captivate as a SCORM 2004 course. I tested the course in the SCORM Cloud and it opened correctly to the Opening screen of the course.
Next I uploaded the course to Maestro using IE11 as my browser. The course opened properly when I previewed it from course record. NO blank screen.
I then went into Maestro using Chrome 36 as my browser ( which is what I routinely use) and created another course -- uploaded the same file for this course. The blank screen with the playbar appeared when I previewed the course from the course record.
Still in the LMS with Chrome as the browser, I then went to the course that I had uploaded using IE11 as the browser -- got the blank screen again. Does this confirm that the issue is related to Chrome 36 breaking all Captivate HTML5 content? -
In Adobe Captivate, there is a "PDF export" checkbox available when you publish your project.
It checked the box, and the project pulication created a file with a PDF extension.. but it's actually a video. Shouldn't it export the slides as a proper PDF document ?Thanks for the quick answer. I did not know about interactive PDFs..
I just found how to export as a Word document. I would have expected to find that option in "Publish" or "Export", not "Print".. Anyway, I now have what I needed -
Are cp file extensions created with Captivate 4 compatable with Captivate 8?
Are cp file extensions created with Captivate 4 compatable with Captivate 8?
Hi there
I believe you will need a copy of version 5 or 6 to open the CP with and convert to a CPTX. Then you can open using 8.
Additionally, you may discover that things become a bit mangled during the upgrades. Many have not gone smoothly and have forced a rebuild of the project.

Hey you all, I have done very little Flash design, but have a request from a client to add a bunch of Flash childrens' learning games to their website. I have enough experience to add the premade ones, but not develop them from scratch of course.
There are several sites out there that offer free games, but they always add their website advertisement to the loading area or other areas of the game.
Does anyone know of a purchasable pack of games for developers that can be inserted into standard site pages relatively easily? Of course if there is a free pack without ads that would be equally niceAs noted by chris above the games are not compatible with the ipod nano only the larger ipod video. THe games on th eitunes music store in fact make this warning known jsut below the game description
"...THese games are CANNOT be played in itunes, NOR are they COMPATIBLE with other IPOD MODELS." Nor can they be playyed in itunes.
With the emphasis given of course. I dont believe you can get a refund because the system requirements are clearly noted. On another note the ipod nano is Not able to play ANy video content including podcasts. IF you wish for either of these features youll need the ipod video.

Can Flash CS5.5 create ios app with in game purchase function?
Can I use flash CS5.5 to create ios app with in game purchase function and other ios specific functions? Is there any limitation compare to using ios native development environment? Same questions for Android OS.
Thank you very much.First disable autoplay. It gave errors for me. Try to make the movie play with the play() command.
to embed the movie in your air bundle, just go to publish settings for your flash project. Then in that screen go to the player settings.
In the first GENERAL tab you'll see a the bottom that you can add files to your project
Propably there is allready your .swf and an .xml file in there.
Using the + icon you can add your video.
Make sure that your video is in the same directory as your . FLA file and you can use it as is (by name)
If for example your flashfile is in c:\mytest\mytest.fla and the video in c:\mytest\videos\myvideo.flv , then you will have to load your video as "videos/myvideo.flv" with a FORWARD slash, never use \

Creating breakout game. Need help with thread starting.
Howdy. As the title says, I've got an assignment to make a breakout game. So far it's going alright, but I've run into a rather large snag...I can't get it to animate :P I've got my main applet, then I created a class heirarchy for the paddle, ball, and brick objects.

I placed a // !!!!!!!!!!!!! comment in the places where I have tried starting the ball thread.
So basically, everything is running fine, except that I'm not at all sure of where to start the ball Thread, and thus can't start anything moving. If someone could tell me where I should be starting the thread, I would REALLY appriciate it. Thank you :D
- KrisSome advice.
1. the start method on the ball should be called from the start method on the applet and should in turn call the start method on the sprite's thread.
2. the run method of the Moveable sprite should have been declare abstract
3. don't implement borders manually. There's a java.awt.Border class for that.
4. probably, you don't want to have the game invoke each sprite by name; just make a big list of all the sprites and invoke all of them every time
5. do you really need provision for a non-circular ball? this isn't rugby.
6. I don't think you ever had a threading problem, just a display problem.
7. Don't write comments like this: ball.display(g); // displays the ballHere's my (even more simplified version):import java.awt.*;

Using disk images for learning games?
Hello, I've 2 g3 imacs running 9.2.2, and they are for the grandkids to use learning games on.
The kids are very hard on the software disks. When I found out about disk images I made them up, now to install them properly. The games are installed, but where to store the disk images? The desk top icons for the games will work after the disk images have been double clicked and the mounted disk image appears on the desktop, but when the imacs are turned off the mounted disk image is lost. How or where does one put the disk images in a safe place so the kids don't get at them, and the disks are mounted every time, without actually starting, when the Mac is started? Start up menu?
I'm planning on multiple accounts with them having a standard account with game privileges so they don't mess the whole thing up. If their accounts get too messed up for me to repair I figured on maybe deleting the account and opening up a new one? Any Ideas are very welcome.
Thank you,
EZHi, EZ -
You're quite welcome.
I had a thought with regard to the disk image files. Are they in a .smi format, or are they in a .img format?
The .img format requires the assistance of the Disk Copy utility in order to mount the image. This is the standard format generated by the user version of Disk Copy. It requires that Disk Copy be available to Finder to act as a helper app in order to mount the image.
The .smi format does not - .smi stands for Self-Mounting Image. The user version of Disk Copy can not make this format; but I have seen a utility to convert .img format to .smi format. The slight advantage with this format is that Disk Copy does not need to be available to Finder.
In both cases the default is to run a checksum verification before the image is finally mounted. The delay caused by this verification can be inconvenient - verification is intended to confirm the integrity of the image after it has been copied, transported, or downloaded, but is usually not necessary when the image resides on a hard drive.
The checksum verification for .img file types can be removed. With the image not mounted, open Disk Copy. In Disk Copy's Preferences (Edit menu), uncheck the Verify Checksum item. Save the Preferences window. Then select Convert Image from the Image menu, navigate to the disk imge file from which you want to remove the verifiaction, select it and click the Open button. A new window will appear, similar to a Save As type window. Leave everything in that window untouched (unless you want to change the base name of the file - the extension .img should be left intact) and click the Save button. The image will be mounted, the original disk image file will be deleted, and a new disk image file created. Unfortunately creating the new image file takes quite a while since it is creating a new one, not actually modifying the old one - but it does get rid of the intrusion of the checksum verification requirement.
I verified on my G4/500 running OS 9.1 that a .img file (one I had made from a game CD years ago) dropped into the Startup Items folder will be mounted automatically at the end of the startup sequence. I also tested with an alias to the .img file, and it, too, worked fine - the disk image was mounted automatically at the conclusion of the startup sequence.
When you make the alias to the disk image file (the .img one), be sure you are placing it into the Startup Items folder, and not the Startup Items (disabled) folder.
If you have the machine set to use Simple Finder (which removes Finder's keyboard commands and many menu options for Finder), that may interfere with items in the Startup Items folder being run at startup. Or, it may not - I have not checked that.
*** Edit ***
I have verified that the alias to a .img file will mount the disk image even when the machine is booted using Simple Finder.
Another thought, related to Multiple Users - if you do decide to set up Multiple Users, and the disk images are of type .img, be sure to authorize Disk Copy for each of the accounts for which the disk images are to be mounted. If you have the disk image files in a .smi format, since Finder views that file type as being an application, you would need to authorize each of those disk image files for each account which is to have access to them. -
Can Captivate Reviewer 2.0 be used with Captivate 4?
I've attempted to use Captivate Reviewer 2.0 with some CP4 projects and I get "wrong format" or "corrupt file messages".
Reviewer 1.0 works fine. Could my Reviewer 2.0 possibly be corrupt or is it only supposed to work with CP5?

Adobe are well known for creating things that are only forward compatible. So I'd be shocked to find that Reviewer 2 works just dandy with Captivate 4.
Cheers... Rick

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,
RyanThank 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. : )
