FlashPaper objects OK in preview, not OK when published

Hi -- I have a Captivate 2 project that has three slides with
embedded FlashPaper 2 animation (SWF) objects. The problem is that
even though when I preview the entire project these FlashPaper
objects appear to be fine, upon publishing as a Windows EXE or as
an SWF file, only one of the three slides is normal. The other two
show no text, but merely flash green boxes. I don't understand why
these would show up fine in preview but would fail to publish. I
even deleted the good FlashPaper slide and one of the bad ones --
interesting that the remaining FlashPaper slide published just
fine(!). This leads me to believe that Captivate 2 can only handle
one FlashPaper SWF animation per project. Is this true? If so, is
this issue addressed in Captivate 3? And if Captivate can handle
more than one FlashPaper SWF object, how can I get around the issue
I describe above?

Hi Charinos
Have you tried publishing using different target versions of
the Flash Player? Try publishing as Flash 8 and see if that makes a
difference. This should keep the associated FlashPaper .SWF files
as separate objects and call them as needed. So give that a try and
see if it makes a difference.
If that fails to work, I suppose you could try simply linking
to the FlashPaper objects as needed from either Button or Click Box
objects inside your Captivate.
Just a thought... Rick

Links not working when published

I know, I know, this topic has been discussed before but I am very very new at this and most answers I just don't understand (I am used to visiting not building sites). Anyway, I am having a **** of a time getting some links in my webpages to work (better said, most work, some not). I don't understand, I've checked all links, no problems (not even when published locally). But when I FTP it to my host something seems to get lost in the transfer. I've deleted the pages where this problem occurs and made new ones. Doesn't help. Does any one have any idea and know how to explain the answer to me in the simplest terms? I would be so very grateful!
thanx

The correct ftp settings would be your username and password and what you use to connect to your server. If you have already uploaded your site, then these settings would be correct. If using Cyberduck with incorrect settings, you would not be able to connect to your hosting space full stop.
Anyway, you said that you were just uploading the contents? If this is the case, perhaps if some of your links do not work, then you have not uploaded all the files that you need to. If uploading the contents of your site folder, then when Cyberduck asks you to upload, or you click it under action at the top, it will ask you to select the files - normally you would go to User and then Sites and then click on your site folder. When this shows up, click on the first file that is shown and do a select all and this will then upload all the contents. Check to ensure that all the html pages are there, plus their relevant folders - these folders contain all the CSS - so for each html page their is a folder of the same name e.g. About Us.html and About Us folder. There are also feed files that need to be uploaded too.
What you can try to see if it works is to upload your whole site folder and separate index file and see if the links work when you do this. Your url will be different if you do this, but just try it and see.
The other problems when links do not work is that you could have either an image or another text box too near to the navigation menu or link that covers it up so that it will not work. Go into iWeb and check this by doing a command A to see placement and you can then move images and text boxes around if this is the case.

Horizontal Menu Bar not displaying when published as it views in live view or preview

I am working on putting together our site and haven't used Dreamweaver in years so very rusty. I have a horizontal menu bar that is working properly in "live view" and in "preview" mode but when I publish the submenus are not working.
You can view the site at www.pulsecc.org
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much! That's a little frustrating how long I pulled my hair out trying to figure something this simple out!
Thanks again!

Preview not saving when converting multiple .eps files to .pdf

Hi,
I have a macbook pro with snow leopard. I open a group of .eps image files using preview into the same window. I then shut the window with "cmd w". It says do you want to save all. I click save all. But then no saves are made.
If i open the group of .eps files using preview into separate windows and click "cmd w", then click save, it tries to save as untitled.pdf as opposed to "filename".pdf.
I previously used preview on a powerbook to convert .eps images to .pdf. In that version of preview the files would open in their own window. When i hit "cmd w" and save it would use save file as "filename".pdf.
Why does the newer version of preview not at least do this? Preferably the new version of preview would save all the .eps files as a batch as stated in my first sentence.
Does anyone have any ideas what i can do?

Possibly similar problem:
When I open a JPEG in Preview, adjust the quality, and try to Save As, it simply saves as the original, not the new reduced-quality file. This is true even if I save it in a new location.
- open a 200kb JPEG
- try to Save As with quality reduced to only 50kb
- it saves as the original 200kb file

Web-object interaction/widget does not appear in published slideshow

I added the web-object interaction/widget using my notes from the instructions in the relevant Lynda.com video (as the Captivate 7 User Guide makes no mention of the web page widget, web-object widget, web object widget, web-object interaction, web-page interaction, web page interaction, or webpage interaction).
The web-object interaction, or web-object widget (or whatever you choose to call the thingie that should provide the user of the published project slideshow with direct interaction with a web page from within one of the slides), it sometimes works in preview; may have worked once when published; but otherwise does not appear on the slide.
On its not appearing in either the published HTML document or the SWF file:
--I had a Continue button on the slide, and tried removing that.
This did not help.
--Because the web-object interaction/widget automatically sets the slide's action on entrance to "Pause," I tried setting it to "No action" (thinking that the slide, being pause on entrance, might never get to the web-object widget/interaction).
This did not help.
--I thought that perhaps navigating in the slide show with various "Jump to slide" settings, I would watch it without navigation.
This did not help.
Any help will be appreciated.
Jeff

In the published folder, I noticed a SWF called stagewebview. I guess this file has got something to do with Web Object interaction. When we link to published HTML file, this SWF is getting called automatically. But in your case since you are linking to published SWF file, the web object interaction SWF is not getting called. So, is it not possible for you to link it to HTM file?

Flash not displaying when published

When publishing my flash site, the only thing that displays on screen is the link for a flash update. I am not sure why this is. I have everything up to date on my computer. I believe it has to do with the code in the html that was generated by flash. Please take a look and let me know. Thanks

For anyone else who is having the same problem...
<param name="swfversion" value="11.4.402.287" />
this defaults to 15.0.0.0 and needs to be set at the current version of flash.
Something adobe should look at.
Hope this helps anyone who has had the same problem.

Audio not working when published

When I record an audio clip within Captivate, although I can
hear it when previewing that one slide, I can't hear it when
previewing multiple slides or viewing the published movie. I know
it has nothing to do with push-buttons or other elements on the
slide (I've tried recording on blank slides, with the same result).
I've also tried exporting the audio files and listening to
them in Windows Media Player, and they work just fine (both the
.wav and .mp3 versions). This problem just started happening today.
For the last several months I've recorded tons of audio on several
different movies with no problems, but now it's not working.
I'm even worried that this issue is somehow corrupting some
of my CP files. Even after I delete all of the audio clips from the
slides they were on, and saving the CP file to a different name (it
contains 30 slides and is about 2MB), when I view the Bandwidth
Analysis, the Video size for Slide 1 shows 546KB, even though Slide
1 contains very minor things (an image and a text caption)--the
same kinds of elements as on every other slide, all of which have a
Video size of approximately 20KB.
So I inserted a blank slide after Slide 1 and copied the
elements (an image and a text caption) from Slide 1 to the new
slide, then viewed the Bandwidth Analysis again, and the new slide
was only 20KB or so, much smaller than the original Slide 1. But
then when I deleted the original Slide 1, the new slide I created
suddenly takes on the same huge Video size in the Bandwidth
Analysis as the previous Slide 1.
Bottom line--I can no longer publish any audio in about 1/2
of my Captivate movies. Can anyone please help?

Teri, do this for me, if you would, please:
Check "
Movie > Preferences > Preferences tab > (check)
"Include Audio When Movie Is Generated".
Did that help?
To Everyone Monitoring This Thread: Another easily
overlooked troublemaker is the "Audio" icon (tiny speaker) located
beneath the timeline when you are viewing a single slide
(duh - sorry, brain fart - of course that's when yo see it because
the timeline isn't visible until you go to Edit mode - double duh).
Anyway, if you click it, you will turn audio off for
all single-slide previews - note ... I said ONLY previews of
the currently open slide. This will NOT affect other previews, nor
will it affect audio in the published product . . .
Hope this info helped some - have a good weekend!

Audio not synching when published

Hello everyone. I'm working in Captivate 4, (purchased, not
trial). I'm relatively new user, but have been working intensely
for about a two months developing a tutorial for my client.
The audio portion does not synch properly with the video
after publishing to an AVI file.
My project previews correctly, (entire file is 117 slides, 9
minutes long.)
However, after publishing to an AVI file, the audio does not
match up with the video - the audio playback is slightly slower,
and after 2 minutes, has lapped the slide. Most of my slides
average 2-6 seconds long.
I tried different publish settings, but have not found
anything to work, although changing some settings have improved the
output somewhat.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
This file will be published on YouTube. This is a
demonstration video only.
My audio was developed using text to speech, (so no music
quality sound is required) and each slide has one audio file per
slide, (nothing embedded.)
Settings I chose were:
Video Format: MJPEG Compressor (tried Indeo, but syncing was
worse)
Audio: PCM (only choice)
Encoding: FM Radio (64) and 11.025 KHz Frequency
Encoding Speed 5
I restarted, and do not have any other program actively
running (except Kasperski)
We recently reformatted the hard drive on this machine, took
every program off, defragmented, so the system is very lean and
clean.
Added more memory, so now we have 3 GIG of memory.
Running XP, the only installed programs are MS Office,
Kasperski, and Captivate.
Any help, or advice on best setting or configurations, would
be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Adriana

Rollover states not working when published online. Suggestions?

I have created rollover states for image navigation. Works great in preview. Works great when published to desktop. I have uploaded to FTP site. Some of the rollovers work, others do not.? I have replaced and re-uploaded, still not working. The normal and active states all work, but the rollover state vanishes. The images are in the image folder. The css pages do have the code to swap the images. Same issue in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and on ipad.
What am I missing? Thank you for your help!

Rollover Slidelets not working when published

Hi,
I'm using CP5.5 for a course that uses numerous rollover slidelets. Everything works as expected when previewing the slides in Captivate however the rollover slidelets do not work when the course is published and viewed in a browser.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Matt

Your project file may be experiencing some corruption. Did you insert each of these slidelets using the Insert menu or did you perchance just copy and paste them from the same one? I've seen that practice cause issues sometimes.
Try creating a new blank project and then insert a few test slidelets using the Edit menu. Do they work when this project is published? If so, at least you know your Cp install is fine.
Try hiding slides in your project as per suggestions in this post:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/basic-troubleshooting-tech niques
It may be that the corruption is limited to one or more slides and you can resolve it by rebuilding those slides.

Photo gallery not displaying when published to .mac

Hey,
I'm having some trouble publishing my photo gallery. I do not want to publish it as a web gallery from iPhoto then link to it with iWeb. What I want to do is to send a gallery from iPhoto into iWeb, and have it published as part of the website. When I send a gallery over to iWeb, it loads up great, and I have all the functionality that one would expect when doing this so by all indications, it will load up great on my .mac account. When I publish the website, it does say that it is publishing the photo gallery page, but the issue is that none of my galleries ever show up! I do not know what to do, I have tried completely deleting the photo gallery page and remaking it in case I did something wrong in the design somewhere, but it still does not load up. If I link in a web gallery, it does show up, but, again, that is not what I want to do. I am at a loss for what may be causing the error. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Heather

Publishing a iPhotoalbum to iWeb is the same as dragging the album from the media browser to iWeb.
When I send a gallery over to iWeb, it loads up great, and I have all the functionality that one would expect when doing this so by all indications, it will load up great on my .mac account.
When I publish the website, it does say that it is publishing the photo gallery page, but the issue is that none of my galleries ever show up!
What is it? Does it upload great to dotMac or doesn't it?
There's only one thing to do. Publish it. No need to upload. iWeb takes care of that.
It helps if you provide a URL to said page.

Video not viewable when published

I have tried posting a video to the web. I have used the podcast pages and the movie page. Neither one works. I called apple, and the guy that I talked to said that it might be a size issue. So, I tried posting a very small version of the video, and it still was not viewable once published.
What appears when I click on the page is a transparent quicktime "Q" with a question mark over it. When I tried publishing the video as a podcast the rss that iweb assigned was the address. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

What format is the video? I have uploaded a 50MB (just to test I could do it) video to iweb pages exported from imovie '06 and also used Quicktime to compress for web. Visual Hub is also good for compressing videos for the web.

IWeb moves pictures by itself, links do not work when publishing to folder

When I first started using iWeb i would save the page I was working on and then publish it to a folder so I could look at it in Safari and it used to work fine. Now when I do this the pictures come up and they are pushed up halfway off of the top of the page and you aren't able to scroll down all the way to see the bottom of the background picture that I have. Also, the links to the other pages of the site do not work after publishing it to a folder. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it!
