Editing html5 output from Captivate 6 or 7

Is there an html5 editor that could be used to edit the html5 output from Captivate?

Hi Jay
HTML is just text. So there is no "magic mix" that is needed because it's HTML5. Windows Notepad could be used.
Unless, of course, you are looking for an editor that will provide code snippets and whatnot that you could use.
Cheers... Rick

Is there a way to customize HTML5 output from Captivate?

I am working on some JavaScript navigation for a project in Captivate 6 and I noticed that when it gets published as HTML5 content, every JavaScript call that is performed is followed up by a cpCmndResume = 1 in the Project.js file. It would make sense to leave it up to the programmer to include this call if it is necessary for the code. It causes problems when testing the slides inside Captivate. In order to test the project, I have to publish it and edit the Project.js content to remove all of the cpCmndResume = 1 commands. I have a navBar that pauses slides via a JavaScript call and the cpCmndResume = 1 kills the functionality of that completely. I have other nav buttons that get disabled when the slide is paused, so when they get clicked, they don't do anything, but the movie gets resumed because of the cpCmndResume = 1 in the Project.js after the JavaScript call. Any ideas or suggestions to fix this issue?

I think you need to remember that the HTML5 output from Captivate 6 has been designed for people that do NOT want to fiddle with the JS code after publishing. It's targeted at non-programmers.
So if you've customised certain output components (e.g. playbars or navigation) and now find that things are not working as you like, the cause is most likely going to be something that you've modified away from the standard setup.
It would be virtually impossible for Adobe to know in advance (and cater to) all of the possible wayts that programmers might want to hack their default output. So, although you are by all means free to ask if they will help you with this issue, please understand that they may not wish to encourage this avenue all that much, as it could open up a whole can of worms for them.

Calling Captivate HTML5 Output from an application

I want to call Adobe HTML5 and Flash Captivate published output from an application. There are several issues I'm currently experiencing duing this:
1) Iframe.
Using an Iframe works for the most part, except that we are hosting many Captivate presentations and there's a bloated number of files when showing the presentation this way, since each one gets the full set of support files needed.
There's also a bug when hiding and reshowing the Captivate presentation (using jQuery.hide and jQuery.show respectively on the parent form): when reshowing the video player controls disappear.
To get around this I progammatically set the height of the iframe to zero, and then set it back to desired screen height when showing the presentation.
2) view in app.
I'm guessing this could work but there's such a mishmash of published files and resources, in our case over 200 in all.
There are several issues we run into in general:
1) jQuery in the published captivate is an old version of jQuery 2.0.0 is current.
2. jQuery ui in the published captivate is an old version of jQuery. 1.10.2 is current.
3. [presentation_name].htm files do not capture javaScript events or open urls currently in the proesentation, only the index.html file does.

How can I test the SCORM 2004 compliant based output from captivate

Hi everyone,
I have created a SCORM 2004 compliant based output file from Captivate itself. Before sharing it with client, I want to check that whether it is compliant or not.
Is there any tool to check the compliance check in LMS? I am new to this, please suggest and help...
Regards
Vikas Sharma

Hi RodWard,
I have tested the zip on scorm cloud and it worked well. Also shared it with the client. But client came back with a question that -
"SCORM Pacakage does not report partial completion. When a person stops training, we have the progress bar to indicate that they are at 0, 25, 50, 75 or 100%. So the SCORM pkg is inadequate. "
Now, I am facing an issue in doing these particular settings inside SCORM 2004 in captivate.
Note that, the captivate file is not a questionnaire and its a video with few animations and a player on which it is running.
Can you please guide me...
Regards

Issue with TOC overlaying MP4 embedded video in Firefox (Captivate 7 HTML5 output)

Only in Firefox, I am coming across an issue when I have a video embedded on a slide, the overlaying Table of Contents displays but is not clickable. This is both when the video is paused and playing. The TOC comes over the embedded video area on the slide. I have considered it is possibly a z-index issue with Firefox, but really need a workaround.
Firefox 28.0, Captivate 7 HTML5 package, MP4 video

Xcode: loading HTML5 questions from local storage

Version: Captivate 6
Output type: HTML5 loaded as local files within an Xcode iOS project.
Not sure at this point if the problem is with Xcode or the Captivate files.
The requirement is to load 'offline' local Captivate quizzes within an iOS application. The HTML5 output from Captivate loads absolutely fine when stored on a web server and viewed through the browser (Safari) on the iPhone. The puzzling bit is when I load the files into an Xcode project and view them through a UIWebView locally the Captivate content does load properly, although it does load a grey placeholder style box in a HTML page - the content does not initiate. See screen grab.
I am conscious the Captivate HTML5 output contains a lot of javascript files and have made sure these are included in the Copy Bundle Resources rather than the Compile Sources.
I made a simple local HTML page and the content in this renders absolutely fine in application, using the UIWebView also to view the content on a webserver within the app works fine.
Any suggestions?

I'd suggest using Safari and set the UserAgent to be an iphone and see if there is anything in the error console. That might give you a clue.

HTML5 Output for Adobe Captivate 6

Hi,
I really need some Help. I am making a static widget in captivate 6 to where it could also access the system variables in captivate (Like cpCmndPause, cpCmndExit and etc.) using Actionscript 3.0. Now, It is for the swf Output. I am making for swf Output and as well as Html5 Output. I made Successfully the Static Widget for the swf Output and my Problem is how I could Make this in HTML5 Output. I did make a .wdgt file to where it contain the swf directory and html5 directory, And I would like to know if How I could make/access the same system variables in captivate, and I think it would be through javascript right?. I really need your Help on how to do this.
Is this available for the Html5 Output in Captivate? really need your Help. Thank you.

Do you have some links or example how to access those system variables in captivate (for HTML5 version)? I've doing this for almost one week but I didn't see any solutions forthis. I am making a new customized widget that could control the captivate commands like cpCmndPause,cpCmndNextSlide and other captivate commands. I'm making the .wdgt file in captivate so that it would support for both swf and html5 output. Thank you for your Help.

TOC not showing up on mobile devices after generating Multiscreen HTML5 output?

I'm using a trial version of RoboHelp 10. I created a project and used the screen profile: Android_Galaxy_Tab and the Screen Layout" Android_Tablet_Layout and generated HTML5 output from that. I navigate to the folder on my computer and click index.htm and it shows up in Chrome browser fine, but I upload (via FTP) the exact files to my web server and navigate to the web files and the TOC doesn't show up. As well as on mobile devices. The web files are here www.superdesigngirl.com/android_galaxy_tab/index.htm. Do I need to publish the files to the web via RoboHelp? Is this a known issue? Am I setting something wrong? Please help. Katherine.

Thanks Peter,
Observations:
When your site is uploaded to our server, and we access it with our mobile devices, we experience the same issue with the TOC refreshing instead of drilling down. The same sort of thing happens when we access your index - regardless of which topic we try to display, clicking on any link simply refreshes the index. We didn't have this problem with our own index. I wonder what's different?
When we access your site, directly via our iPad, it works perfectly. However, when we access your site via my Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 920 running Phone 8) I experience the same problem of your TOC refreshing like ours does. Also, your index doesn't work on that phone, whereas ours does.
I should probably add that what I uploaded to our server was everything in the \empcareus\EmployeeCareUS\EmployeeCareUS_Project\!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5 directory to our testing server at ****.com.au/onlinehelpdemo/mobile/emp
Was that the right thing to do?
I've also thought this might be a permissions issue, but setting all file/folder permissions to 777 hasn't made a difference.
Cheers.
UPDATE: I took our files home and uploaded them to my own web server. They work perfectly on my Windows phone and iPad. Something's wrong at the work server end, I guess. Any ideas?

How to get current slide from embedded HTML5 output

I am using php to run a web application that displays HTML5 captivate files embeded in a HTML web page. What I need to be able to do is when a user clicks a button OUTSIDE of captivate (say maybe a "Finish" button) I need to be able to check if they have completed the interactive captivate capture. My research so far has show that there is little to no documentation on captivates APIs but they do exist. It looks like java script is the best option. How can I embed the captivate HTML5 output and find out if the user completed the Captivate. This could be by slide (i.e. 10/10 slides) or by percentage or a simple "Complete" would work. I just need the value so I can pass it back to php so my app can do its thing.

You already got addon running in the active ie instance. You just need to catch the WindowStateChanged event in every instance so you can write down the last event with OLECMDIDF_WINDOWSTATE_USERVISIBLE somewhere. When you need the active IE instance, just
pull from your save.
Note an IE tab may crash and take your addon with it. It is better to start a broker process to store your global data.

Captivate 7 - HTML5 Output and Interactions - coming to the front

Hi all,
Don't know if anyone else has had this issue. I have found that when using inetractions with HTML5 output they automatically come to the front of the slide regardless of where you placed them in the story file.
I had used white rectangles to hide the interaction border but this now doesn't work in HTML5 (does the trick in SWF format).
Any ideas?
Cheers.

Hi again Mayank,
Little way down the road and it's not working . I have been testing away and discovered several things.
I started a new project and copy and pasted my slide from the main project with the accordian widget over to it. This was initially not working when tested in HTML5 so i proceded to chop away stuff untill it worked.
I discovered that if you have any objects with a shadow on the slide in any place (including not overlapping the widget) the whole widget breaks. I also found that if you had a 'line' smart object anywhere that the whole widget breaks.
Once i made sure i had no lines and shadows on the slide the widget then worked as expected with it staying at the back.
However i have found that no matter what i do in my main project the widget never works, even when it is the only thing on a new slide? This suggests a project wide issue and i have no idea what that could be.
Is there a chance that the actual save of my project is the issue as it was created before i changed the code? If so is there somthing i could change in the code of my save file to make it work?
I thought maybe i could copy and paste the entire project into a new project but of course all the click boxes change back to continue which is a nightmare.
EDIT: I just tried copying the entire project over to a new project and although all click boxes were on continue the slide with the widget worked fine (with the above amends).
EDIT EDIT: Hah, okay i have now discovered that deleteing the images of my master slide allowed the original project to work with the above amends (lines and shadows removed) too? So its the master slide thats the problem!

What is the best video format for streaming video in Captivate 6 for html5 output?

I'm guessing it's h.264 mp4, but I haven't been able to get it to stream. Can you stream mp4s from Amazon S3?

Hi Rod,
That link is from the Captivate help file:
You could also find this documented in the help file link:

Issues publishing to HTML5 from Captivate 6

When publishing projects to HTML5 in Captivate 6, I am experiencing problems with click functionality in files published to HTML5. When I play the HTML5 Output in Web Browser from the captivate toolbar, the functionality works perfectly. However, when I publish and the client launches the file from their LMS, the following issues occurr:
1) If a slide has a text input box, then the subsequent slide requires only a single click. If a slide contains only a click box and it is not preceded by a text input box, two clicks are required to advance to the next step.
2) None of these behaviors exist in the SWF version. Every slide action performs on a single click.
Any insight into this issue would be appreciated.

Hi There,
Welcome To Adobe Forums.
Can you please try and upload the published output to an LMS called SCORM CLOUD.
You can also create a free trial account on scorm cloud using the following steps:
1.     Browse to to the link https://cloud.scorm.com/sc/guest/SignUpForm
2.     Now Create your free trial account.
3.     Now publish the output in a zip format (in the form of SWF with reporting option enable)
4.     Now sign in into scorm cloud and upload the course and launch the output.
Please check and let us if it works fine.
Thanks and Regards

I just loaded Audition, but when I try to edit an audio track from Captivate the "edit in adobe audi

I just loaded Audition, and already had Captivate on my computer. I'm trying to edit an audio track from Captivate, so I go to Audio>Edit>Slide. But, the window that comes up does not have the "Edit in Audition" button activated. The button is faint, thus doesn't work. How do I sync these two programs so I can edit a Captivate Audio file in Audition?

From the captivate help file:
You can use Adobe Audition to edit audio when you want to go beyond the audio editing options available in Adobe Captivate. For example, to apply filters or remove noise, you need an advanced audio editor such as Adobe Audition. You can either edit the audio files from slides or batch process by opening multiple files in Adobe Audition using the Library panel.
The changes reflect in Adobe Captivate library and the associated slides where the audio files are being used. The saved files are reimported to Adobe Captivate with the slide associations intact.
Note: This feature is available only in Adobe Captivate that is installed as a part of Adobe eLearning Suite.
I think that the last line probably answers your question....
