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.

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.

HELP....AVCHD / MPEG files not playing correctly!

I have been trying to download video that was shot with the new Sony FS100 camera that I'm told are AVCHD or MPEG files to my older Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 timeline, but they are not playing correctly. When I reverse the field dominance, the image plays better but the sound is strange (I was able to speed the sound to 450% and it worked better, but then the balance of the sound from the clip is lost somewhere.).
Any suggestions to make these files play and work correctly? I tried converting them to AVI files but that showed up completely black on the timeline! Anything I've tried either affects the video or audio negatively! I try either makes the image play or stutterThis was shot in regular SD format, NOT HD, so they should be able to play on a standard timeline. Can anyone suggest anything to help please? Much appreciated!

Thanks for your reply, I ran it through Media Info. Here are the results:
Container & general information:
MPEG-PS: 290 Mib 4min22s
1 Video stream: MPEG video
1 Audio stream: AC-3

Please let me know where to go from here. Thanks so much!

Flash SWF file not playing as HTML snippet!?

Any Flash gurus out there? I'm trying to get a SWF flash file to play as a HTML snippet but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Artotems Flash code within the snippet. The SWF file was encoded using Flash v9.0 and it plays on it's own when I open it the file directly from a web browser. However, when it's referenced from my website through iWeb nothing shows up!? Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the code I'm using. Maybe you gurus can tell me if my syntax is incorrect?

You're not using the full URL to the file.
You have "/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv" in both instances where it should be...
"http://www.websitename.com/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv"
You can also open it with a simple iFrame code like at the bottom of this page......

Video files of type *.flv and *.f4v are considered Flash files, how play them (win7)

video files of type *.flv and *.f4v are considered Flash files, how play them (win7) are files in file windows explorer?

Not sure what you are saying; are these local or online files?
Adobe does not longer provide Adobe Media Player to play local files; use a 3rd-party player like VLC Media Player.

Flash files not displaying in Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Most recent Shockwave installed, private browsing active in Firefox? Works perfectly in Chrome and Internet Explorer. HELP!!!!

I suppose it would have helped if you knew what it was supposed to look like! I'm using Shockwave Flash 11.7.700.169 and the version of Firefox I'm on is 20.0
When you see it in Firefox - do the thumbnail populate the grid? See attached populated and un-populated.
Populated grid is with Chrome.
Thanks!
Thanks in advance!

Flash file not responding if more than 1 flash file.

product : Adobe Flex Builder ver 2.. HELP required urgently..
I'm very new to Flex. in my adobe FLEX page, i'm displaying 2
flash file (.swf). the flash file itself pop-up data based on click
on the adobe flash file. however only 1 flash file (first flash
file) responsds and 2nd flash file loaded but NOT responding to
click and no data pop-up in the 2nd flash file.
However, if i change the order of FlashLoader2.load("file"),
the 2nd flash file responding and the 1st flash file not
responding. so, we can conclude that flash file is ok. anything
need to change in adoble flex???? pls help.
thanks

ar tech,
I think that your problem is to do with layering. You have
specified both loaders to have width and height 100% so (unless
there is more to your code than you have posted) they will sit on
top of each other. In that case unless you have done some clever
code to pass on the mouse request, it will get swallowed by
whichever one is on top (hence the change of behaviour when you
alter the order of loading).
It sounds from your description as though they actually sit
in different screen areas, so maybe try changing the location
parameters and see if both respond when you put them side by side.

In your opinion, should I uninstall Firefox if I am installing Waterfox?
Waterfox can coexist peacefully with Waterfox. I have both installed, but never use Firefox any more.
Not only can Waterfox run in 64-bit address space, it also is better optimized during compile time than Firefox. (For obvious reasons; Firefox is compatible with many old systems, Waterfox only needs to be compatible with new 64-bit systems.)
P.S. regarding Chris' advice above; Firefox and Waterfox use the same profile, so if that is actually the problem, then it will occur in both browsers.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
If you haven't done so, using Disk Utility in your Applications/Utilities folder.

Flash videos not playing correctly

I posted some flash videos to some sites that get a
tremendous amount of website traffic. We are getting feedback that
the flash videos do not play consitently. Some people can see them
just fine, others cannot see the videos at all, for others -
particulary in Firefox, the video asks to download rather than
play. We created the videos using Flash 9 - importing the FLV file
and saving as an swf. We do not really see any type of pattern
across browsers.
Any advice?

I tunes update 10.5 and music files not playing correctly

After I updated iTunes to 10.5, a vast majority of my music files do not play correctly. When they do play, they sound as if they have been super compressed and I cannot figure out why. I have un installed/re installed, checked all of my drivers and even scanned my library for viruses. Is there anyone who may have any info that may help fix this problem? I would be eternally grateful.

I have just downloaded a free program called burn and it burns music perfectly and yet itunes still wont work and comes up with the same error report as above so i do hope this helps apple to fix the bugs in there latest 10.5 itunes update.

Flash CC sound files not playing

I have a mp3 file on a layer. I stop the fla file abuout 20 seconds in, but when I click on the play button to continue, the mp3 files starts from the beginning, not from the current location. What do I need to change so the sound file will play from its current location? Thank you.

Rob, I tried your recommendation, it still will not sync. I'm in the middle of my fla, and when I start from (ex. keyframe 500), the mp3 plays from the beginning (keyframe 1). This issue is intermittent. Some fla I have no issue, then others this problem happens.I end up using an older version of flash to do most of the work, then I complete the finishing parts in Flash CC.

Flash Video not playing in Published file

I published the files. I then click the "view ouput" button.
I am able to see the video playing locally. However, when I copy
all the contents in the publish folder (.htm, .swf, .flv, etc.) to
my web server, the flash video does not play. The rest of the .swf
animation plays, just no video.
I do see a security message
I did choose progressive download and selected Flash version
as Flash Player 8.

Flash 8 files not supported by Captivate 1

I am working in Captivate 1 and is trying to import a Flash
file I created in Macromedia Professional Flash 8. I get the
following message from Captivate 1 "Macromedia Flash 8 files are
currently not supported".
Any ideas? Does anyone know how to get around that?
Thanks much,
Veronica.

Hi Veronica
I guess the smart-alec answer is not what you are looking for
here. Go ahead and actually purchase Flash?
Seriously, I suppose the following questions/possible
suggestions come to my mind on it:
Question:
What is it that Captivate isn't doing or you feel cannot do
where you see a need to use Flash in conjunction?
Suggestion:
You may want to investigate a different tool such as Swish.
Particularly if the Flash entry fee is an issue. Swish is less
expensive.
Click here to visit the
Swish site
Although I've purchased a copy of Swish, I'm not overly
familiar with it. So I'm unsure if it offers the same output
options as Flash WRT the different player versions. I believe
fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst (
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk)
uses it to create his way cool widgets, so it might work to do what
you need.
Cheers... Rick
