Export from Captivate 3 to Flash CS3

I followed directions located in Adobe Captivate 3's help
menu about exporting to Flash CS3. I have tried both exporting from
Captivate and Importing from Flash to move my captivate project
into flash. About 5 times, an error saying "Unknown error" had
occurred popped up. I closed Flash and Captivate a couple times and
then it worked. Several new errors popped up during the
"successful" import---worse yet, the captivate project imported
terribly! Pieces of the demonstration were all over the stage.
Long story short, something is wrong. Is this a Vista thing?
Does anyone know about any of this?

Doesn't seem to be specific to Vista.
I've had similar issues trying to export to Flash. But
sometimes it seems to
work beautifully (although always with an error message about
"unable to
find Flash.exe" or similar), aside from in issue with the
backgrounds all
importing to Flash at the wrong size. This is easily worked
around, and has
been discussed here a number of times.
My first suggestion to you is to try rebooting your machine
before trying to
export again.

Captivate to Flash CS3? Just a dream?

Based on the results in this forum, I take it there is now
way to import Captivate 3 files into Flash CS3 even though it is a
clear menu option on both Captivate and Flash CS3...... How can a
company make the claim, and then totally refuse to fix it?

Hi there FacilityDude
Captivate 3 does export to Flash 8 or Flash CS3.
Have you tried what fellow Adobe Community Expert Mark
Fletcher outlined in the thread linked below?

Can I save/export from Captivate 4 down to Captivate 3?

Can I save/export from Captivate 4 down to Captivate 3?

Yes, you can! But you need Captivate 3 installed in your computer.
First, open the project in Captivate 4. Copy all the slides. Open a new project in Captivate 3. Paste all the slides.
I have done this with Captivate 4 to Captivate 2, so I am sure it should work with 3.

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.

Export from Quicktime to Flash

Hello, I have several Quicktime trailers (1 minute and 8
minutes long) that I want to encode in Flash so that I can place on
my website. I can either export from Final Cut Pro using the FLV
codec or use my Flash 8 encoder. These are my questions:
1. Does one way produce better quality than another? I have
also heard that Sorenson Squeeze produces better quality
compression than either of these two methods. Is this true?
2. I imported the QT movie (.mov) into the Flash 8 encoder
and saved using Flash 8 medium quality. I then placed the FLV file
on my site. However, when the link to the Flash file is clicked,
the flash movie does not play; it asks you if you want to download
the file. When I download the file, it will not open. What am I
doing wrong? Shouldn't the flash file stream open?
3. Are there any tutorials available on QT to Flash that can
help me?
Thank you for any advice you can offer me.

Hello,
I think you posted this in the wrong forum, here is the Adobe Captivate forum.

Making a .mov into .flv (or exporting from FCP as flash)

I'm trying to get some short movies I made in fcp into captivate. Captivate requires the video to be flash. I have fcp 5, Adobe CS2 (no flash, I dont think), and compressor.
I tried changing the extension file name; it played on my qt player, but once I imported into captivate, it wouldn't play.
Anybody have inexpensive ways to convert h264 or any mov file from fcp into an fla?
I have this sneaking suspicion that I have the tools on my computer, but just can't find them.
Do I have to buy CS4 and learn flash? I'm going to do a lot of this- and while I'd prefer to find a free way right now, I only want to purchase once if possible.
What's the best way?
thanks!

You can try encoding with MPEG Streamclip!
It´s easy... and most of all... IT´S FREE!
Google it "MPEG Streamclip" download the Mac version... voilá!
There are other online solutions... try www.mediaconverter.org... but if you need to control a few parameters streamclip it!
HBars
p.s. it´s not directly from FCP... export a reference clip and do it!

Swf file exported from Captivate 2 should pause at each slide, but doesn't always

I have made a tutorial in Captivate 2 and exported it to an
swf format. In Captivate, I had put a button at the end of each
slide to pause it. I have gone back and checked to see if each
slide was correctly paused and it was. When I play it in Flash
Player 8, preview it in Captivate 2, or load it with Flash player 8
in an internet browser, most of the slides function as they should,
but randomly some slides will not pause and will just continue on
to the next one. It is different slides each time it is loaded that
do or don't pause. Does anyone know what the problem is? Is it just
a bug in Captivate?

Exporting from Aperture to Photoshop CS3- file format

If I have my files in raw CR2 format in Aperture 2.1 and I then go to the edit the image in photoshop CS3 will it remain in the raw CR2 format or does it convert it to a tiff file automatically?
Currently I have PS CS2 and it converts to a tiff file when I go edit in photoshop however I thought this may be beacuse PS CS2 does not support raw files from my Canon 40D, PS CS3 does though.
Incidently the same thing happens when I use the dodge and burn tool in Aperture 2, it conversts to Tiff format.

"Will there ever" is a loaded question Apple rarely comments on future product releases, and anyone that would know wouldn't be able to comment.
So it's not possible to say if future dodge & burn (or other plugins) can work without rendering a TIFF file.
As far as "multiple file formats" though -- it shouldn't really be something you need to worry about (other than the fact that the TIFF takes up some disk space). You can export to JPEG from the original or the version, and Aperture will track the files together.

How to export from FCP to Flash .FLV ?

Hello All;
Could someone explain how I export a Final Cut Studio project to .FLV ? I read many places that it can be done but I do not have any such option (That I can find) on the FCP File menu or File Export menu.
Currently, I'm exporting to Quicktime and then using the Flash Video Encoder that came bundled with Flash but I am not getting very good quality and I'm wasting a lot of time trying it over and over again.
Thanks.
Tim

Then theoretically access to this FLV export option should be visible in other areas where you would perform a QuickTime Export.
In FCP, for example, you could go to the menu: File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion:
Once clicked, an additional panel is going to appear. At the bottom of said panel will be a toggle that says "Format". By clicking this button you will reveal the other options available to you. With the Flash component installed you should have access to an option: "Flash Video (FLV)":
Once you've selected this you can then click the "Options" button and this will open a final panel where you can adjust all the parameters of the exported movie. Should look like this:
That is one way to do it.
Another way to do all this would be to build a Compressor preset. All the above export options, if available in FCP, are going to be available to Compressor as well. You could set up a preset and save it in Compressor, or even save it out as a droplet that you can drop exported movies onto. Simply dropping onto a droplet triggers the FLV encode.
One final "workaround" would be to export to H.264 and then change the resulting movies extension from .mov to .flv. This will cause it to open in Flash, usually. Flash Player 9 Update 3, released on December 3, 2007 allowed for the playback of H.264 with Flash. So as long as the end-user has this version of Flash, or newer, on their end—then playback should not be an issue.
Hope that helps.

Export from Indeisgn to flash, missing elements and animation!

Hi, I have a problem whit exporting files from Indesign cc 2014 -> Flash pro cc.
When i open a exported document in flash im missing elements and the animations.

Exports from Keynote to Flash doesn't work

I am trying to create an automatic slide show and export it as an .swf (or anything) to run on a web site and it doesn't work. For documentation of my tests go to: http://www.equalivote.com/abKeynoteExportTESTS.pdf

Another thought: If you need it to be flash, could you export the slideshow to quicktime, then put the quicktime movie into a flash project? I'm not too familiar with flash but it seems like that would be worth a try.

Exporting from Keynote to Flash (.swf) to use in iWeb

I'm working on an animation in Keynote to show it in my iWeb page. I know it is possible but I'm having some problems during the export. I know about the transitions, but is not that. Is the object itself. There are 6 objects: business logo and 5 characters created in Illustrator and Photoshop together. It's all nice during the Keynote presentation but when I export that for Flash, 3 of 6 objects don't show correctly.
All objects are in .psd
You can see before and after clicking in that link:

And one more thing, the music is not playing.
Thanks very much

Im using Keynote 09 and I have tried to export through the share option in the menu bar. I have also tried to save as a powerpoint and they both give me errors that are unknown.
Thanks for the help

Export from Captivate to MS Office (PowerPoint, Word)

Good day! I have a question.
I Have a Captivate project (slides). This slides are made in Captivate, but I want to export it in MS Office (PowerPoint or Word) and then change this slides in MS Office programs. How can I do this?

To export: File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions, and save it as Word doc.
To import the edited content: File > Import > Project Captions and Closed Captions. The relevant changes get updated automatically.
As much as possible, don't change anything in the Captivate file between these tasks. It has not caused any issues to me till now, but somehow I am a bit cautious in these matters. Better safe than sorry.

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).

Export to Flash CS3 doesn't work

Hello,
I have Captivate 4 and Flash CS3 (full versions) - WinXP.
When I want export Captivate project to Flash - "File -> Export
-> Project to -> Flash CS3" I will get only notify: "Cannot
initialize Cpativate FLA Exporter. You may need to restart Flash."
Flash CS3 is running and Captivate project is saved. Any idea?

Hi Leoš,
I guess you are searching in the wrong place. Its not
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash
CS3\cs\Configuration\Importers
It should be
For XP:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Documents and Settings\<user
directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash
CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers
For Vista:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Users\<user
directory>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash
CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers
Windows Drive Letter is the drive in which windows is
installed into. Generally it is 'C' (without quotes)
Anyway, I dont think there is support for Czech version of
Flash to export from Captivate. However you can try this out:
Copy RDMFISTUB9.dll into
For XP:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Documents and Settings\<user
directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash
CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers\
For Vista:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Users\<user
directory>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash
CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers\
(Ex path for dll: For XP, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe
Captivate 4\RDMFISTUB9.dll)
Copy RdJsfl.dll into
For XP:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Documents and Settings\<user
directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash
CS3\<language>\Configuration\External Libraries\
For Vista:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Users\<user
directory>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash
CS3\<language>\Configuration\External Libraries\
(Ex path for dll: For XP, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe
Captivate 4\RdJsfl.dll)
Copy AdobeCaptivate Folder inside ActionScript Folder into
For XP:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Documents and Settings\<user
directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash
CS3\<language>\Configuration\Classes\
For Vista:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Users\<user
directory>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash
CS3\<language>\Configuration\Classes\
(Ex path for folder: For XP, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe
Captivate 4\ActionScript\AdobeCaptivate)
You can get RDMFISTUB9.dll, RdJsfl.dll in Adobe Captivate 4
installed directory
(Generally this should be C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe
Captivate 4)
Now try to import a cp file into captivate.
