Effects not playing in Captivate 6

Hello,
I am trying to have an image zoom in using the Effects options. I have a static image on the page and want it to act like a portion of the image is getting bigger. I have it set to zoom in and it does it on the "Live Preview" but won't do it when I play the "Project" role or publish it to SWF.
I am at a loss right now and I am hoping you all can help get this working for me.

This is how I have this piece set up to scroll across the back from left to right and I want it to scroll automatically but when I play the project it only will play when I click the "Play" button.

Animation effects not playing correctly in captivate 6 (playing last frame first?)

Hi there,
Currently in captivate 6 I have a problem where when an item is coming in using an animation effect the image is flashing up very breifly, dissapearing then playing the animation as it should. it is almost as if it is playing the last split second first then looping round. This only applies to some of the items and not all of them, I have tried redoing them only for the same problem to occur. There is only 1 entrance effect playing on each item and there are 4 items on screen, the second and third images are the ones causing problems although the text and fitst image is fine. I have tried toggling sync with project. This also occurs both in publish and in preview
Any other ideas?

Hi Vish,
All of the items in question are set to display for the rest of the slide and the effect lasts less then a second where each item is on screen for 10+ seconds so there is plenty of the for the entrance effect to play out.
I have noticed however if I set all of the items with effects to start on the start of the slide the effect plays correctly but that means it isnt synced to the voiceover.

SWF Audio not playing in Captivate

Hi everyone,
I have created a button panel in Flash. The panel is a
recreation of an A/V control system panel used in classrooms on
campus. I am using a Captivate presentation to teach university
professors how to use the panel, so they can use technology to aide
teaching in classrooms.
As soon as the swf loads (in flash player) a sound begins to
play. You can then press the volume and mute buttons to increase,
decrease, or mute the sound. The button panel works properly in
flash player, however, when I import the swf into Captivate and
preview or publish the slide, the sound does not play. The buttons
depress, the lights change, but no sound is heard.
1) What, if anything, am I doing wrong?
2) What can I do to fix it?
I've only been working with Captivate for a few months now,
so this is my first real challenge. Any help you could offer would
be great. Let me know if you need anymore information. I have
exported the swf using flash 9,8,7, and 6 and that has not solved
the problem.

Okay, so here's the deal,
I used a flash 6 version of the panel and exported project
into a flash 7 version. when I play it, the sound still does not
work, but here is where it gets funny:
When I exported the project to include the html I also got a
version of the project without the captivate skin. When I open
that, the sound from the 16th slide (button panel) begins to play
on the first slide and continues to play. when I get to the 16th
slide and press the volume and mute buttons, they control the sound
perfectly.
So,
1. How/why is the captivate skin killing my audio?
2. What can I do about it?
3. How do I get the audio to start playing when I enter the
16th slide only?

Background Audio not playing in Captivate 4

I imported a background audio track to my Adobe Captivate project, and I can see it in the background audio menu, however, when I preview or publish the project, it does not play. When I am in the import menu, it plays, but only there. I have done this many times before without issue. Any ideas?

Hi there
I am not sure if I understood the problem correctly. I tried to add a background audio to a test project and it worked fine for me in preview and publish.
When you say "I can see it in the background audio menu" are you meaning the following?
Audio->Background Audio... ==> Audio Background Dialog opens up and the audio track is shown properly. In library, the use count of this audio is non-zero and when you right click on the audio and select usage, "Project" is listed as one of the users.
When you say "When I am in the import menu, it plays, but only there", which import menu are you taking about?
Can't the audio be played from the library preview or from audio properties dialog or from Audio Background dialog?
Do you have this problem with any project that you are creating or is the problem happening in one particular project only? If it is only a particular project, can you share the CP project?
Cheers

Flex Mobile - Sound Effect not Playing on List snapping (code sample provided)

Hello All,
I'm trying to figure out how to play a Sound Effect on the trigger of the "changing" event on a List.
So basically I have:
<s:List id="theList" width="100%"
            itemRenderer="MyIconItemRenderer" verticalScrollPolicy="off"
            pageScrollingEnabled="true" scrollSnappingMode="center"
            caretChange="playSound(event)"> ... </List>
So the list above snaps to the item to be centered, though I would like on every snap, for it to make a click sound. I've added the method for playing the sound as:
private var tickChange:Sound;
private var soundEffectURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest('/assets/sound/click.mp3');
protected function playSound(event:IndexChangeEvent):void {
     tickChange = new Sound(soundEffectURLRequest);
     tickChange.play();
The Sound effect plays, though it's not playing at every Snap interval, so if I scroll fast among them, it's not playing, only on the last selection.

I can´t believe it.. While writing the previous post, I thought on a really simple solution and compiled it to give it a try. It works perfectly!
As simple as setting the "cacheAsBitmap" property to "true" on the Spark lists of the views!!

Flash files not playing in Captivate correctly.

I have Flash files that make up a course that play correctly in Flash but are breaking in Captivate once I import into the Publish folder. There is a button that remains active without being clicked and will not close as it is supposed to, creating obvious issues in the course. The button does not have these issues in Flash, only in Captivate.
Has anyone had an issue like this or any thoughts on how to fix it?

Is the SWF published for AS2 or AS3? Captivate only accepts AS3 nowadays.
The other likely issue is that perhaps you have inadvertently used a symbol name for your button, or some of your AS code functions/variables etc, that happen to be reserved by Captivate for its own use. These types of conflicts can cause issues.

Flash animations not playing in Captivate 5.5

When I import a swf from Camtasia 5 into Captivate 5.5, it plays when I "play slide," but not when I play "project" or "from this slide." So.... I saved it as a flv. It plays... if I click the play button, but that's not what I want.
I've used this technique many times before over the years with no problem. I create an animation in PowerPoint, record it with Camtasia, and import it into Captivate. I need to be able to do it in this version.
What has gone wrong? Thanks for any suggestions!!

If your AS2 file is working fine, chalk it up to luck and buy a lottery ticket. Most users are NOT going to be as fortunate. Remember where you placed it in your project though, because if you ever start seeing this project go into spasms and flicker like it was having a fit, the quickest solution will probably be to get rid of this AS2 component.
As for your other issue with the AS3 file, there may be a number of possibilities. My first guess is that your SWF is probably set up as a symbol in the Flash file and the animation is buried inside that symbol. Due to the way Captivate 5x loads SWFs now, the animation may actually be playing in the background before you reach its slide and that means it will have finished playing by the time you get to where you want it to play.
If you want to test this theory, you'll need access to the original FLA file used to create this animation. Try placing some piece of marker text on the final frame of the animation along with a stop(); action. Then reinsert into your Captivate project. If this results in you seeing the marker text on your slide at runtime, then it means the animation has completed playing before you got there.
If this is the issue, try taking the animation out of the Symbol and placing it all on the main timeline of the Flash file. Then republish and insert back into your Captivate project.

Audio not playing in Captivate 6

Hello,
I used the "Add Audio" option in Captivate 6 to add my voice to the course and when I publish in HTML5 I cannot hear my voice when it's in my LMS. I checked my headphones and audio on my computer and they are working fine so it must be something in the course. Any clue on why it's not working?

When I publish in SWF the audio works fine so I am not sure why it wouldn't work in HTML5.

Embedded swf not playing in Captivate 4

Hi - I have embedded a flash authored swf into CP4, it is published from flash as a ver 9 swf. I am using Flash Player 10 on the PC. It's a single frame swf and contains AS3 code to make a simple rollover image popup (further development is planned but just testing for now). It works when viewed standalone in a browser or with the flash player
In CP4 when played by either previewing it or by publishing and viewing in a browser, the screen with that swf on it is a 'white screen of death'. I have tried the following:
1. clicking and unclicking synchronise with project
2. click and unclick externalize animations check box in prefs - the swf file was also manually copied over to the publish directory
3. set display for "duration of animation"..also tried 'rest of slide' and 'specific time'
4. click and unclick - 'synchronise with project'
5. Set Actionscript Version in prefs to "AS3"
6. I placed another different swf (flash ver9) onto the following slide in CP4 - this one with no Actionscript content at all - just a simple timeline based motion tween. It works!
Does anyone know if CP4 cannot accept embedded swf's with Actionscript 3 code in them?

Hi there
Oftentimes the warning about referencing Root is simply a nuisance and may be totally ignored.
I find that the animation works here on my own PC if I click Edit > Preferences... > Project node > Publish Settings node and configure for AS3.
Perhaps try that?
Cheers... Rick

HDV imported from After Effect not playing smooth

Hi,
I work with HDV footage from Sony V1E in FCP. For some reason, i need to do a few things in AE. I then export it there, work it out and rexport it from AE. There I use the HDV 1080/25fps quicktime compression. When I bring it back to FCp, it even shows as no need to be rendered on my TimeLine. But it doesn't play correctly at all. Like if it was to big or... i don't know... I can;t even render it since it appears as not needing it...
What can I do? Help would be very much appreciated...
Thx
Federico

If it looks good in AE then the aspect will be correct already (tends to get set incorrectly when using capture cards like decklink etc), have you tried forcing FCP to render the AE footage on the timeline (tick full in render all then press Option+R)? The HDV codec is really harsh, it could be the multi converting is introducing the error you are seeing. I tend to export using the animation codec, then re-render everything in FCP, not ideal when you have time constraints.
One last thought, have you checked the AE output setting has field rendering enabled or not, this is independent of the timeline setting.

Flash Video Not Playing in Captivate Project

I've put in a flv video at the beginning of a Captivate Project. When I press F4 from within the project, it works fine - flash video slide works, transitions into Captivate build, etc. However, when I publish the file as a Flash Project and then try and open the HTML link from within the published folder, I am told that there is a Connection Error. The project proceeds, progresses until the Captivate portion of the project comes up and works fine from there.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Have you copied the FLV file into the same folder as the published SWF? Captivate doesn't do this automatically for you.

Captivate 5 not playing Flash Media Server video

This was initially posted in the video section but I have moved it here because after 4 days up it has only been viewed 4 times (plus my 3 views) and nobody has replied at all.
Recently I have begun attempting to convert older projects to captivate 5. However, once I started loading the videos I quickly realized that they are not playing in captivate 5! I know that these videos stream from the server just fine as I have been running them with other products and I know that the paths are correct because I've been using a web player to test the paths of the videos that will not play. How do I get around the bugs in Captivate and get the video working?

Looking at this issue, here is what I see:
Looking at the source code from the URL you supplied
http://www.uab.edu/smsfiles/video.cgi?OU=CEVS&VIDEO=AD_clip_setup.f4v
Looks to me that the rtmp server has a different name than the one you provided: streamer: ["rtmp://wwwsms.it.uab.edu:1935/CEVS/"]
Is the file truly an FLV or F4V? Looks to me like it is a MP4. [file : "AD_clip_setup.f4v-lo.mp4"]
I think this will still boil down to getting the correct format for the URI.
Just my thoughts.

Adobe Bridge CC not playing After Effects CC animations

Hello,
I am fairly new to After Effects and Adobe Bridge, and I recently ran into a problem.
So, when I turn on After Effects , and in the Effects Panel , I click "Browse Presets", and then It opens Adobe Bridge. But when I single-click in any kind of an animation in Bridge, it's not playing it in the "Preview" panel.
The little Windows's "picture icon" just starts zoomed in, and then it quickly zooms out.
I'm using a freshly installed Windows 8.1 , and fully updated Bridge and After Effects.
What might be the problem?
If you want, I could also record the problem with a screen recorder and upload it to YouTube.
EDIT : I just fixed the problem by updating Bridge to the latest version (CC 6.1)!
The animations are playing smoothly without any problems! Just run the Adobe Update Manager, and update
Bridge!

Hi,
Please refer to the help document below:
CC applications close immediately after launch

Real Instruments Not playing - effects are

In one of my songs, the real instruments do not play. However, I can hear the reverb and echo for these tracks. The tracks still respond to editing. The drum loop and Software Piano play just fine.

Thanks for the suggestions. I can't remember deleting any tracks... however, how would i check for "hidden" tracks?
The funny thing is i can hear the effect returns for the real instrument tracks...tracks that are heavily reverbed i can hear a faint echo of the track. and like i mentioned the drum loop and software piano still play fine.
And, I also see monitor activity in the real instrument tracks when i play the song. Everything looks normal, but of course, the sound isn't there.
Thanks again for your help!

P.S. I just tried Unsolo all tracks and Unmute all tracks... still the same problem.
