Does the Captivate Demo cripple the SWF file?

Is the Adobe Captivate Free Demo limited? I created a SWF file but I'm not able to insert into a Sharepoint web part.
Are the demo files not compatible with regular Flash player or is the trial version crippling the output files? If so, will I need to download the actual software to fix this problem?
Once I purchase the software, will all employees in my organization be able to view the SWF file I create?
Thanks.

Publishing the swf file in Captivate 8: videos unable to load

This is my first time using Captivate. I am still using the free version of Captivate 8 from a Mac. I have created an online module for my college e-Learning course but, I can't get it to upload right anywhere! I am trying to upload the swf. file to Google Sites but the videos display a connection error message and never play. I have read everything I could online but nothing is working for me. I tried uploading a SCORM zip file to Coursesites and got an error message as well. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong...

I have not upgraded at this time, but I can if that will fix the issues I'm having with the published files.
To clarify, my project is NOT a responsive project. I'm just selecting HTML5 on the publish. And I am testing it locally, on our company server, and online. The drag and drop does not work in any instance of the index.html any of these locations.

Detect end of the .swf file from captivate

Hi,
I've a .swf file sent by our clients. They want to put that .swf file on the webpage. The .swf file is published from captivate.
Now they want to display a submit button on end of the .swf (video). I don't know how to detect end of the video.
Need help...!!!
Thank you,
Himadri

Welcome to our community
Within Captivate you are able to choose different actions to occur when the Captivate movie completes play. Of course if you don't have Captivate and the project file you are pretty much stuck with what you have. If you *DO* have access to the source, you would then configure the end action to be what you like. Perhaps execute some JavaScript, load a different page, etc.
If you don't have access to the source file, you may be better off asking whomever provided the SWF to you to make a small change to the end action. They would then compile a new SWF and provide that to you to use.
You just said a "Submit" button should appear after the video plays. What exactly is this button supposed to do?
Cheers... Rick

How to create the SWF file which was included surrogate pairs.

I would like to make sure how to create the SWF file which are included surrogate pairs.
The error of outside the scope of unicode occurred when I compiled(mxmlc) the as file which was set surrogate pairs to 'Unicoderange'.
Ex, I set the ' '(UTF-16 is '20B9F') to 'Unicoderange'.
However, I cannot add the surrogate pairs.
The error of outside the scope of Unicode occurred when I compiled the AS file.
The reason of error was that the Unicode(UTF-16) of surrogate pairs is invalid.
Then, I read the following pages.
These pages are written that unicode-range supported surrogate pairs.

So please let me know how to create the SWF file which are included surrogate pairs.

I've been able to create project jar files in Eclipse by selecting Export from the File menu, then choose Java - Jar file - and provide the required information, name, destination folder etc. But when I do this, I do not export other jars on the build path this way nor do I expect to do this. I am only concerned with creating a jar file of my own work. A jar file does not "contain" other jar files. If the jar file contains the main method, and requires other jars for it's execution, then you may wish to include a reference to required jars on the class path entry of the Manifest file of the jar file you create. I'm not sure how to create a Manifest file in eclipse though..

The webpage in the swf file

hi,i want to catch a function that when i open the swf file ,
then the webpage shows in flash, how to realize it? if i use the ie
to parse the html code can achieve the goal. and i want to know how
the AIR achieve the goal. please give me some advice,
thanks.

Yes, I think I am going to have to just use Flash. The flash I was creating was very simple, and Encore would have done the trick if it had not been for the fact that the file would always require the AuthoredContent.xml file. I was just trying to avoid having to learn ActionScript, and most of my animation is coming directly from AfterEffects, with which I am much more comfortable. However, since I first made that post, I have started learning ActionScript, and also realized how to use the XFL format, so it does not appear to be too bad. Within a few weeks, I should be able to create in Flash what I was trying to do in Encore.
Thanks for the advice!

Why the swf file cannot be played by itself?

Hi,
After I run the source code, I opened the bin folder and
locate the swf file that has been packaged. I double click it but
the program will not run. But if I double click the html file that
embed the swf file, the program will run.
Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks for your help. However the code is too big to show
here and I am not sure the client would allow me to do it. I am
trying to think to shorten it, but it's hard to find where to start
since I don;t know what actially could cause the problem. I thought
about using external xml data is the reason. I then tested one app
with external xml and one without. Both of the two swf can rrun
standalone.
So what is the general guideline? Thanks again.

Why the swf file have some lines on it?

I have made a software simulation and published it as the swf file. And I don't know why there are some lines on the screen when I play it in IE? Just as some lines in the fax we ussually see. I have no such problem in playing it in captivate. What goes wrong? And how could I change it? Thank you.

Hello
Quite a lot of threads are in this forum. There could be several reasons. Did you rescale the project? What is the quality you use for the slides - default quality is Low (8-bit) you could try one of the other possibilities? Do you keep this slide quality or do you override it when publishing (you can choose 24-bit for publishing which will increase the filesize but also the quality). You could also deacitvate the compression.
And I forgot to ask: is your version up to date, it should be 5.0.1.624.

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
Briefly, the bug:
I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
The workaround:
If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
So, either
1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
or
3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Dave

Hi David
I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
Case 1
I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
Case 2
Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer. The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
Case 3
If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
Thanks in advance
David

Does the SWF need to be in same directory as the HTML?

I'm relatively new at Flash, so apologies if my question has
an obvious answer... I've searched the newsgroups and other forums
and haven't found anything similar. Here's my problem:
- when my html doc is in the same directory as the swf file,
the movie appears and plays fine in my browser
- when my html doc is in a different directory as the swf
file (but calls the swf using the correct path), the movie doesn't
appear.
The exact html file that works when it's in the same
directory as the swf doesn't work when it's moved out of the
directory(and the path to the swf modified correctly)... This
problem doesn't occur with a different swf file (inherited from
another designer).
I use Flash MX2004 for Mac.
I've tried publishing to Player 6, 7, actionscript 1.0,
actionscript 2.0 with no difference in results.
Is this strange situation a Flash-on-Mac thing, or is there
some setting or parameter that I can set to resolve this?
Leif

1) the swf is not neccesary to be at same directory with html
2) when you load a swf from different directory, and you load
other swf into the main swf, all path are relative to the html, but
not swf.
3) it is nothing about what version of flash or what platform
you are using.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear. I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions. I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over. The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox. It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed. I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest. Getting very frustrated. They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments. I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

So is it actually installed, or is it not? If not, download and run the offline installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
If it still does not work correctly, check
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

Error #2136: The SWF file

addChild(vehicle);
vehicle.go();
when I compile it gives an output error.
Error #2136: The SWF file file:///C|/Users/Ravenwind/Documents/Main.swf contains invalid data.
                at Vehicle/frame1()
I am stumped

" I then assign Vehicle to document class box in the property box" Do not assign the Vehicle as the document class... remove it from there.
In the main file, if you didn't already create one, create a movieclip symbol (just draw a shape in it for now). Right click the symbol in the library and select the Linkage option.   In the interface that appears, select the option to Export for Actionscript, and assign it the Class name "Vehicle" in the field labeled "Class"
Make sure you save the Vehicle.as file after you put the code into it and have that file in the same folder as your Main.fla file.
If you do the things I just described you should see an instance of the movieclip moving across the stage when you run the file.

How to reduce the swf file size of an imported After Effects file

Hi!
I am trying to make a web banner for an internet marketing company, so it has very specific requirements. We had it made in After Effects, and I was able to export it as a FLV file and import to Flash just fine along with the SWF. Now, I need to make the SWF file significantly smaller.
Right now it is 2.5 MB and we can only submit a 40K size SWF. Is it even possible to reduce the size so much and still keep the animation's intregrity?
I am more familiar with Flash than After Effects, but can play around with settings, etc if someone can tell me what to try.
Thank you for your help!

the easiest way to load and play your flv is to use an flvplayback component. you just drag it from the component panel to the stage and, in the properties panel, assign its properties (eg, skin and source).
but that will probably put you just over your 40kb limit and will require the skin.swf to be placed on the server with your banner ad.
to decrease your swf size to negligible, use actionscript to play your flv. this is the barebones code needed. just replace your_video_url.flv:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns:NetStream = new NetStreamnc);
ns.play("your_video_url.flv");
var video:Video = new Video();
video.attachNetStream(ns);
addChild(video);

How to Open or load the swf file only in Java application

Hai.,
How I Secure my Flash SWF files(AS2 and AS3).?
The SWF files are only work through java application. When the java call the swf file that time only it will work otherwise it won't work including browsers also..

I attached the file to this post. It would be great if you could send me the pdf version of the block diagram. It's not totally finished, but that doesn't matter, I can complete it in school.
Thank you, really, thank you.
I know that this is not the purpose of this forum, but it was the easiest solution for my problem.
