Export Captivate 3 to Flash CS4

Hello All,
I am using Captivate 3 and when I try to export project to Falsh, only Flash 8 and Flash CS3 are listed but they are grayed out because I am using Flash CS4. My question is how do I export project to Flash CS4 if it is not an option? Is there another way to create a FLV file?
Thanks,
Chad

Exporting to Adobe Flash CS4, which format?

I have created a presentation using Adobe Flash CS4 and I plan to import a video I have made using FCP into my .fla. My presentation _is not_ going on the Internet, so file size _does not_ matter. I am putting the .swf on a USB thumb drive to be played directly on someone's computer, so once again my movie output file size should be of the highest quality possible.
In FCP, there are several formats and options to export my movie. Which do you recommend for integration with Flash?
Thank you.

Umm....I assume you're exporting from FCP using QuickTime conversion,
so you can choose a QuickTime movie, H.264, and choose
Frame Rate: Current
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Checked
Quality: Best
Encoding: Best
Data Rate: Automatic ... which then means you don't need to choose DVD/CDROM.
Give that a try and see how it looks.

A puzzled export question of Flash CS4

I have a picture A and picture B,A is 100pix*50pix,B is
20pix*80pix,then I set document size is 100pix*50pix,and put
picture A as background,then I put picture B at the right of
picture A,and make B move from bottom to top,I make preview,it runs
well,I can see picture B move from bottom to top at the right of
picture A and the docuemnt is 100pix*50pix.I only see the area of
100pix*50pix,the part of picture B out of 100pix*50pix is not
seen,it is what I wanted. But when I export this swf,and open this
swf with IE,I find that I can see the part of picture B out of
100pix*50pix,Why? Where is wrong? I use flash cs4.
Thank you!

I'm so so sorry Urrami,
you see, English is not my native language, and this word
"spinnets" was
sitting on the tip of my tongue and I was so damn sure that
it's the name of
this panel.. After you told me that there is no such a panel
in DW, I opened
it to see myself what gone wrong.. I wasn't laughing long,
but.. the thing
is, this panel is called "Snippets".
The panel that allows me to store some code pieces and text
as a template in
a categories, so I can easily find it and insert, for
example, into the code
panel as I write PHP script.
Sorry for bothering you,
R.

Problems Exporting Captivate to Flash

When exporting a Captivate 3 file to Flash CS3, the area I
recorded appears very small. However the mouse movements seem to be
clicking on a much larger image, around the small one. I have the
stage size and framerate matching the Captivate settings, so I am
not sure what's up.
Also, I noticed the skin I selected doesn't seem to transfer
to Flash, so no playback controls. Is that too much to ask for, or
is there a way to get those Captivate skins into my Flash
file?

- The slide backgrounds are all held on one layer in Flash.
Looks to
consistently be layer 2, named Slide Backgrounds :-)
- This layer is locked. So click on the little padlock and
unlock the layer.
- Select "Onion Skin" and "Edit Multiple Frames"
- Two little 'start onion skin" and "end onion skin"
indicators appear at
the top of the timeline - move them to the start and end of
the timeline, so
they encompass the whole project.
- Select the Slide Backgrounds layer so that all of the Slide
Background
images are selected at once. You may need to also click on
the background.
- If you get it right. You'll see size and location values
for the
background in the Properties panel.
- Type in the correct slide background size, and position
0,0.

Exporting Captivate into Flash

Hi,
When I export my Captivate file to Flash MX 2004, the file
has nothing in it.
What am I doing wrong?
Judy

Hi mindtube and welcome to our community
I am inferring from your question that you may think Adobe
employees are monitoring this forum. While we might see one or two
pop in here and there, by and large this is a total "user-to-user"
community. I'm a Captivate user same as you. So you might want to
post your question to support using the link at the bottom of this

Question Slide won't export to Flash CS4 (Captivate 4)

I'm using Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 in Windows. I have built a short and simple 5-question quiz in Captivate, and I need to export it to Flash CS4.
I have tried both opening the .cp file onto a new Flash stage, and exporting to Flash from inside Captivate. Sometimes, Flash crashes. Mostly, I get this error:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
Question Slide
Since I'm basically using Captivate 4 as a quiz generator for this project, this is definitely a showstopper. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
There is no suport for quzzing for "Export to Flash" feature in Captivate 4.
You can either publish the quiz as a SWF and add it into flash or use learning interactions which you get as templates in flash for ELearning Suite.

Export to Flash CS4

I have an interaction built in CP and it runs pretty well. However, when I exported it to Flash CS4, I lost all the interactions (it became a simply linear play)and got a big bunch of errors while previewing it.
If files exported to Flash from Captivate can not be edited in Flash, what's the purpose of providing this exporting feature then?
Is this a bug?
Anyone has experience with attempt to edit the actionscript in Flash after exporting the CP file to Flash CS3 or 4?
Thanks a lot.

Sounds like it might be locked to Flash CS3. Captivate 3 does
not know
anything about Flash CS4, since it was released a long time
after Captivate
3.

Exporting Captivate 3 to Flash CS3 (Vista Ultimate 32)

I saw the other topics describing issues involving exporting
Captivate to Flash, but I can't get the export to work at all. The
first couple times I tried I got the "unknown error," and now the
.cp files don't even show up in the list of importable files.
I've applied all the latest Adobe updates. I really need to
be able to work on these Captivate 3 files in Flash. Any help would
be appreciated.

Thanks for your help, Rick.
Yes, I've reviewed it and followed its instructions. I've
found that I need Flash to be closed before I start an export from
Captivate or nothing happens. (I can't import from Flash at all.)
Even when the export works, I'm only getting the first slide.
So it looks like I have some poking around to do. I was hoping this
was going to be a "press a button and go" operation (yeah, right).

Unable to export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4

Hello everyone!
I am attempting to export a captivate project over to flash CS4. However when it goes from captivate over to flash the result is basically a slide show. It does not show any of the animations that are present in Captivate. I also keep recieving an error message.
I have searched for how to solve this problem for quite a while now and so far have come up with nothing.
This is the error message that flash gives me:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
508 Compliance
A swf animation slide has been imported. The following files must be made available at publish time:
Project01_slide_22_0.swf
DefaultPreloader.swf
Please make sure you publish the project to “C:\Documents and Settings\jmillard\Desktop.” Saving the project to this directory will ensure that test project will work with the swf animation slides.
Unfortunately I am on a tight schedule to get this project done and the Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 I am using are both 30 day trials, so I am in quite a hurry.
If you could please help me I'd greately appreciate it!

When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

Captivate 4 export to Flash CS4

Hi,
I am encountering a few problems with Adobe Captivate 4:
- In the previously version it was possible to export a project into different smaller swf files. Is this also possible in Captivate 4?
- I am trying to export my project to Flash CS4 but I get the following error:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
508 Compilance
After that I won't be able to see the mousemovents and hint boxes.
- I am not able to play the swf file in internet explorer on windows XP machines. In the previous version it was possible to safe the skin as bitmap, that worked in windows XP. Is this also possible in Captivate 4?
Can somebody help me with one of these problems?

Hello, I'm not able to answer all of your question, but will give it a try:
What do you mean by 'exporting to several small swf's'? I do not know this functionality, have been using CP since version 1. Perhaps you are talking about the splitting up when having FMR recordings: every FMR would end up in a different SWF in CP3. This has been removed in CP4, but if you want really to have the files separated, you can activate 'Externalize resources, part FMR SWF' in the Project, Preferences, Publish settings. You can also externalise skin, widgets and animations.
508 Compliance has something with accessibility options. Here I'm not sure at all, why there are problems with exporting to Flash CS4.
Problem with playing CP-movies can be due to Flash Security Settings or to the Flash Player installed compared with the Publish settings (for which Player?).
I believe that BMP has been abandoned for playbars because of lower quality. You have to use a playbar, could use the TOC (instead or in combination with the playbar) or have your buttons on the slides (some of the widgets perhaps).
Perhaps someone else could complete this answer,

Captivate 4 Flash export/import to CS4 Pro and Windows 7 Enterprise

Every time I try and import my Captivate 4 project (latest Update) to Flash CS4 Pro (latest Update) I get a error Dialogue that says:
Can't Load Library: 126.
I'm using Window 7 Enterprise and have full admin privileges on the system. Error message happens no matter the order of opening both programs. Tried Import into Flash and also Export to Flash. Same result either way.
Any help on getting by this error would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Daniel McHugh

No solution yet. Any one experienced this before?
PS I've double checked the files: RDMFISTUB10.dll and external libraries file rdjsfl.dll are in the right spots (External Libraries and Importers) RDMFISTUB10 will restore itself if I delete it but not RDJSFL dll.
Problem persists even if I create files on local c: drive documents folder with external files or anything in the Captivate file.

Captivate 4 not exporting to Flash CS4 correctly

When I export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4 it doesn't place the imported objects on their own timeline. Instead, it places each object into a movie symbol, which has its own timeline. The problem is that when I save it as a .swf in Flash and then I open it in After Effects none of the highlight boxes are visible.
As you know, After Effects does not see Flash symbols that are buried below the main timeline.
I opened up a project I worked on a year ago (with a different computer) and the Flash files had the exported Captivate items on the main timeline with the object on its own layer. Those files work fine in After Effects.
Can anyone tell me if they are having the same export issue with Captivate 4 not exporting its elements in Flash on the main timeline (as seen in the help file: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Captivate/4.0/Using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119e9582981-7fff. html)?
Thanks!

I found the solution here (http://labnol.blogspot.com/2004/09/export-captivate-movie-to-macromedia.html). I'll reprint the steps here:
1. Close Flash CS4 if it is open.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Captivate
4. Copy the RDMFISTUB.dll file.
5. Navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash CS4\en\Configuration
Note: The 'Local Settings' folder by default is hidden. If you are unable to locate the 'Local Settings' folder you can unhide it by opening Windows Explorer, select Tools > Folder Options > View, and select the option to 'Show hidden files and folders'.
6. Create a new folder called Importers. Your final path should look like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Importers
7. Paste the RDMFISTUB.dll into the Importers folder.
8. Open Flash CS4.
9. Create a New Flash Document. Save the document (or Flash may freeze when importing)
10. Select File > Import > Import to Stage.
11. Browse to and select the CP file.
12. Click OK.
Here is a comparison picture of the results. Without the steps above the imported Captivate assets will reside inside of a movie symbol (one for each slide). This is labeled "incorrect" in the image. I want each asset on a new layer in the root timeline. This is labeled "correct" in the image.
I want to go from Captivate to Flash to After Effects (because Captivate generated Flash files are unreadable in After Effects). For full disclosure, I used Captivate 3 in the steps above, but I hope this is a solution for Captivate 4 as well (I decided to stick with Captivate 3 because it worked in a project I used a year ago).

Export Project To Flash CS5 From Captivate 4

Can I export to Flash CS5 from Captivate 4? The File > Export > Project To menu only provides options for Flash CS3 and Flash CS4 and they are greyed out. I have only CS5 Master collection installed.

Hello there,
Unfortunatley, you cannot export to Flash CS5 from Adobe Captivate 4. You would need to upgrade/purchase Adobe Captivate 5 to do this.
The other option would be to export to see if you can still download trial copy of Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, export your Captivate file and then open it in Flash CS5 Pro.
Best regards,
Mark

Flash CS4 won't export to .mov PLEASE HELP ME!!

Like the title says, i've been trying to export my .fla as a .mov from the Export>Export Movie option in the File menu. It will start exporting but once the progress meter gets to the end it just stops and never finishes.
I don't think it has anything to do with:
A: multiple scenes
B: actionscript directing to each scene
C: movieclips
since I was doing the exact same thing in CS3 without a problem.
What i'm doing now in CS4 that I wasn't in the CS3 version:
A: Motion tweens
B: importing .ai files to my library
C: using symbols created for flash in illustrator from imported .ai files.

Thank you Zombie. Specifying the length helped me export as a quicktime movie.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a rubbish piece of coding in Flash CS4 that doesn't let you export a movie over 1 minute long without specifying the length of movie.
Ridiculous really. I expect this could be fixed in seconds by Adobe, but instead I'm left trawling the internet for hours wasting budget.

Problem with symbols while exporting a gif in flash cs4

I am using flash cs4 to export a simple animated gif for a button on my website. However, when I export the gif the movie symbols will not play, what am I doing wrong here?

Well, for some reason, I've managed to be okay with the idea that all software relying on links is prone to crushing at any given moment during execution of a project, Yes this includes After effects, Illustrator, Indesign_name it. However, one thing I cannot understand or even come to terms with the idea that Flash CS4 cannot export a project of 162mb. My library is organised, My scenes are in perfect order, I do not even use 3rd party componets in my projects..... but for some reason, I cannot export let alone publish an application file from FLASH CS4.
My first thought was maybe some thing was wrong with the "flash.ocx" extension, so I took a walk and visited the Adobe site to get an update, but still after re-installing it nothing seems to put a smile on my face_( I've spent sleepless nights on this animation and all I need is to just export/ publish it, however flash exports it halfway and out of a blue the export dialog and the incomplete file vanish) Some times I even wonder wether there is a vortex on my desktop.
Another problem in this category am finding is with flash player in my browsers, if it runs in exlporer, then it won't run in firefox, and when I check in the control panel after installing on both browsers, I am so suprised to find 4plugins of flash player, which is not the case with my friends laptops which use 1plugin and an activeX control for the web browsers.
Any help is very welcome, Am using Dell studio-xps Laptop running a 64bit Windows Vista OS, 4bg Ram, 1 Terabyte HDD and yes Intel Graphics media card with dedicated memory of 1gb. (Of what use are they if I cannot export a small file of 162mb, am even ashamed to mention it, heeeeeelp )
