FLV, SCORM, SumTotal Issue

Hi Everyone - I'm trying to use a few videos in a Captivate course that needs to be SCORM compliant. When the videos are FLVs, they won't play in our LMS (SumTotal not sure of the version but I believe it is older maybe 6). When i converted them to SWF they work fine in our LMS, however, they do not have any playback controls (which are required because the videos are on one page). Any thoughts on why they're not playing in our LMS as FLVs?
Thanks!

The most likely reason is that your LMS web administrator has not allowed the FLV mimetype to permit serving up FLV content. Get him/her to check that FLVs are allowed on the web server for starters, and then check if there is also another permission to be set in SumTotal for this type of content.

Flv progressive downloading issue

I have been hitting my head against the wall with this one.
When I use the flvplayback component on a test swf with one frame,
my video plays fine. But when I insert the component in an
exsisting swf which has many layers and frames, it will not play.
Anyone know a reason this might be happening. For now, the flv is
being played locally.
Thank you in advance...
Ed

Thanks charles.crepin and Nickels55. I found out the issue I
was having. My Publish preferences were set for ActionScript 1.0. I
changed to include 2.0 and all worked.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.

Flv player buffering issue

Hi Everyone....!
In my flv player,all the functionalities are well.But,one thing is,when player buffering the video,it will automatically taggled into paused state.After buffered full video completely,then only start playing.I was given buffering time=0.1.
My solution::::;
By using the setInterval,Every minutes monitoring the loadedBytes.If loaded bytes increased 300Kb(hardcode) compared to previous loaded bytes,I will play() the video manually.
videoMc.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PAUSED_STATE_ENTERED,pausedEntered);
function pausedEntered(Evt:VideoEvent):void {
var setInter=setInterval(checkBytestLoaded,1000)
function checkBytestLoaded():void {
var cl:Number=videoMc.bytesLoaded/1000
if (cl>(CurrLoading+300)) {
videoMc.play();
preLoadMc.visible=false;
CurrLoading=videoMc.bytesLoaded/1000;
/==================================
It was Ok for buffering issues.But,i cannot differentiate for both(Manually pressed the pause button and automatically paused due to buffering issue).If manually pressed the pause button ,video did'nt play due to above coding.
Now i m waiting for ur solution.Atleast any one!!!
whether the buffering issues or how to find manually pause button pressed "pause state".?.
thanks in advance...............(sorry for poor English)

Is that the net stream class using actionscript to assign the source? or import fl.video.*? All i did was import the video into flash and used action script to stop playing the video when a button is clicked. As far as video control that is. Is there an entire method of assigning the source of the video that i am unaware? If so can you point me in the direction and I'll learn it. Thanks again you have been very helpful.

Importing flv into CS6 issues

I brought this up durring the pre-release but still can't seem to get any resolution to the fact that perfectly valid flv files that play just fine accross multiple other software, give a "file haas nsupported compression type" error when trying to import into Premiere. I have recieved this with other formats in the past that required me to install additional codecs, but I would think flv being native to Adobe should import. In CS5 I had similar issues but used to be able to import them into AE and then bring the AE sequence into PP as a work around, but can't seem to make that work in CS6. I noticed in searching the forum that this was an issue for many in older versions, but didn't see any recent ones or any real solution. Any insight would be appreciated!

FLV support is only partial, as there are several "flavors" of FLV. My memory is cloudy, but IIRC, FLV's with Sorenson Spark will not Import, where others with CODEC's, such as On2 VP6, etc. will. FLV is but a container, like .AVI, but with far fewer possibilities.
For the FLV's, that do not Import, which CODEC was used?
Good luck,
Hunt

Flv audio sync issues & player 9

Greetings, I've been looking for a solution for weeks, and
thought I'd give the forums a shot.
I have a client site with 6 progressively downloaded flv
clips that play when a button is clicked.
The flv files are encoded with After Effects 6.5, and the swf
files are published in Player 8.
The video clips are made with an alpha channel of a guy
talking and are about 30 sec to 1 minute long each.
The problem is audio sync issues on certain computers during
playback even when the files are completely buffered.
The other problem is that these flv files won't play on
computers that have player 9 loaded.
I'm investigating whether there are audio sync issues when
encoding flv files from AE 6.5, but still really
confused about the player 9 issue. I was wondering if there
are updates to 9 I can recommend to my client
or if adobe knows of any bugs that are currently being looked
into.
Thanks,
Kevin

I may just be talking to myself here, but...
Could there be any difference in the way an flv plays when
you
import the flv to the stage, as opposed to playing it
dynamically
using the NetStream class? Could this cause any audio sync
issues? Does Flash Player 9 have any difficulties displaying
flv files loaded dynamically?
Any ideas from Adobe folks would be great. Thanks.

SCORM timestamp issue

Hi there,
I've been having issues with multiple quiz attempts and interactions not all being sent to the LMS. Most answers are sent though randomily LMS drops couple of answers on each re-attempt of the quiz yet each question is set to report the answer. It also doesnt appear to occur on first attempt only new attempts after first failed. LMS provider says this is a timestamp issue in the course which doesnt send it incorrect SCORM format therefore it rejects it when the same interaction id is already there from previous attempt failed. Below is the error from LMS. Please anyone advise how this might be corrected inside Captivate.
[11:05:25.897] SetValue('cmi.interactions.29.timestamp', '2013-09-13T11:05:25.0+00:60') returned 'false' in 0.001 seconds

SCORM Publishing Issue

We are trying to publish a course organized as separate
daisy-chained files, so we can provide the user feedback on
interactions and quizzes throughout the course, to a single SCORM
2004 folder. Our question is, how do we publish the separate
project files into one zip file and load it into our SCORM player
so that the user's experience will be seamless as they move from
one project to the next within the same course? Or, how do we
generate multiple daisy-chained project files that use one Manifest
for SCORM purposes? We published separate project files (as Flash
outputs), zipped them and then tried to upload them to the SCORM
player. But it stopped uploading after the first project, we think
because it found a manifest file and stopped, as it can only take
one manifest file per course.
Whew, that was a mouthful.

Have heard/read good things about them, so I'll trust that's
all true.

Captivate can't do this on its own but you're right (I'm
pretty sure)
that this all has to be handled by one big custom manifest
file..which
you'll have to customize yourself.
There is a manifest builder extension for DW from the Adobe
Exchange but
I don't know if it would help in this case.
Doesn't Rustici have some sort of Manifest Builder tool? Or I
know I've
seen references to a couple others out there. A web search
should reveal
a tool that may help...

You should be able to report on all the interactions, though
I agree
that trying to scatter a variety of quizzes throughout the
lesson would
likely be a problem. CP seems to just work with one set quiz
(though
I've not used that feature much). Regardless, you're
definitely correct
that working with such a large CP file would probably bring
headaches of
its own.

I think you're on the right track with the manifest
customization but
figuring that out is a chore in itself. Perhaps look at tools
that
create such manifest during the publishing process to gain
some insight
as to the structure? I believe Thesis (by HunterStone) does
this when
converting Office documents to SCOs.
Ultimately, you need to do something CP can't handle. So your
best bet
is to either search for a 'manifest maker' tool, research the
depths of
how to structure the manifest manually, hire out the process,
or use a
different tool.
Wish I had better suggestions!

OLM SCORM content issue with FLash Player 9 Active X version 9.0.115

Hi,
Does any one have issue completing SCORM online content (flash object) via OLM with FLash Player 9 Active X version 9.0.115 using IE? I have same problem also via mozilla.
I have two computer one with 9.0.45 and one with 9.0.115. I can complete the online course with version 9.0.45 without any issue but the status always incomplete with version 9.0.115. When using 9.0.115 it seem there is not communication between OLM player and the application (nothing showup in the java console).
I checked Adobe website and this is what they quoted:
ActionScript 2 getURL() and ActionScript 3 navigateToURL()calls such as getURL("javascript:myFunction();") fail with live web-server content if the HTML and SWF are in separate domains. This issue appears in Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7.

Dharma,
I just tried a piece of flash content using 9.0.115 on iLearning and had no issues, and this should be no different than OLM.
Is the SCORM Adapter set up and in use with debugging turned on? Do you see information in the java console when running the content using the other version of Flash?

On export, embedded flv video restart issue

After exporting my project (either as SWF or MOV), when I play the exported file, the flv video I have embedded in the timeline starts over whenever a motion tween begins in a separate layer. Why might this be happening? I'm using CS6.

Ah, figured it out. Totally my fault- in playback within flash, the video freezes on its final frame, which was the effect I intended, but on export embedded flvs apparently repeat, so I just took a screen shot of the final frame and put that in for the duration I wanted the frame to stay frozen. Your suggestion actually led me to this realization, thank you.

FLV after publishing issue

All of the students in my class are having the same issue with our embedded videos. We are creating tutorials in Captivate and many of us have embedded video. After publishing the captivate file we are getting this connection issue. Our instructor is saying that it is some sort of security issue? When opening initially we are getting a "flash has stopped a potentially unsafe" blah blah blah. She had to go to global settings and then always enable but it isn't working every time. Hoping to find out more details so our class can make sure we're embedding video correctly since so many of us are having the issue. Thanks in advance. Here's a screen capture.

Hi there and welcome to our community
The Flash Security issue is quite common. You may read more about it at the link below.

Flv/fla playback issue.

I am a flash rookie, but id like to think that I am learning fast. I built a flash player that has many external flv videos. The player functions perfectly when played in flash with the test movie function. It also plays fine in deamweaver when the .html file is imported into it. The problem is once the player is uploaded onto a site with all the files in the same folder the .html loads and the flash file functions perfectly but the videos do not load. The skin of the videos load, but the area where you would be able to seek through the video has a rotating green barber shop looking thing like it would be downloading the videos, and the videos never load. I have debugged it and it came up with no errors. So now I come to the people that have more experience than me with this.
I would be happy to forward a link or swf file to anyone if it can help see where the error is. I'm thinking it is a few lines of code that I am unaware needs to be in my file. I will leave it to the experts. Any help would be most welcome. Thanks again in advance.

FLV and Navigation issue

I have a lot of videos in the stage, and some of them that
are loaded within a swf, so the problem is, when i press any button
of the menu or something to navigate across the interface, the
video it does not stop playing, it get stuck in the background
playing.
I founded a solution but is not scaleable, which when i click
something, i have to stop the video instanceVideop.stop(), in the
timeline.
So i was wondering if there was any way to stop all videos
that were playing, or something like it.
The weird thing is when i load a video that is embeded into a
swf, and remove the swf, with removeChild, the videos doesnt stop
playing, i thought it was that i only remove it from the stage, but
it has something that it stays in memory, some instance, or
something else, i dont really know, im confused whats really
happening.
Thx for all the help i can get from you

I'm very sorry, but that is the way Question slides are designed in CP5: the number of attempts you allow on Question level have to be exhausted while the user is on the slide. Once you leave the slide the question will be blocked. Multiple attempts on Quiz level will still be available if you didn't leave the quiz scope, but this can only be done after finishing the quiz and all answers will then be deleted, correct as well as incorrect ones. This has changed in CP6, where remediation is possible (just answered today such a question in another thread here), and you can indeed jump to a content slide from a question slide, come back and change the answer.
Your goal in CP5 can only be achieved if you create custom question slides, but then there is the problem that drag&drop is not natively available as you have in the default Sequence Question slide.

Increasing the volume on flv files

I've got about 200 flv files have issues with volume. I need to increase the volume on each. Is their a quick and easy way. They all load into the one swf file so is there any code I can add to the swf the will automatically increase the volume of any flv thats loaded into it? Thanks

If you use Netstream:
var ns:NetStream=new NetStream();
var nsst:SoundTransform=new SoundTransform(1);
ns.play('filename.flv');
ns.soundTransform=nsst;
nsst.volume=2;//This alone will not change the stream's volume
ns.soundTransform=nsst;// You have to reapply it by doing this again

Cap 7: project with an .flv video goes to Media Encoder

I have a Cap 7 project that includes a slide with an .flv video embedded. When I try to publish as both .swf and HTML5, the Adobe Media Encoder appears. I have no idea what to do with the encoder, if anything, and the publish process just stalls. Is the .flv video the issue? There is a note in the Cap 7 "publish project as HTML5" help that states that .flv files that are created using On2VP6 codec only are supported in the HTML5 output. Am I missing something?

FIXED!
Thanks to some points in this thread, I have solved my problem.
It was the KNOLL LIGHT FACTORY plug-in. I removed it, and the Adobe Media Encoder now works on my system. I assume that DYNAMIC LINKING between the CS4 apps also now works, but have yet to test that.
This also explains why my CS4 suite works on my MacBook Pro; I never installed KLF on my laptop.
Now I need to tell RED GIANT SOFTWARE about this problem, and either get a solution from them, or a refund.
Thanks. You can add this solution to your collective repertoires in case a future OSX user encounters this exact problem.

DynamicStreamingResource indexFromName possible issue

In the indexFromName function in DynamicStreamingResource.as, it checks the existance of the stream with and without the "mp4:" prefix. It does not, however, check if it has the "flv:" prefix. If it does, it doesn't find it and returns -1. When you I the streams, i don't need the "flv:" prefix, but it does seem to work with it. It seems like there should also be a check for the "flv:" prefix, as well as the "mp4:". Was this a design decision, or is this an issue?
Shaun

Ah, that makes sense. In that case, though, shouldn't there be a more explicit issue somewhere? That way if one does use the "flv:" prefix, the issue comes up in a more apparent place? As is, the issue manifested in the onPlayStatus function of the DynamicNetStream, but playing the streams still worked 100%.
