Getting "Swf compilation failed" error

Whether trying to publish a simple PowerPoint presentation from Captivate 6 or Captivate 8 (Trial), I am getting the following error:
Swf compilation failed.
Note:  Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name.
Does anyone know what this error means?  I am not using any variables.

Hi There,
Please try the below steps and check if it helps :
Go to C:/programfiles/Adobe/Adobe Captivate(version)/AdobeCaptivate.ini           
Open the file with notepad and add the line Use32BitJVMForPublish=1 
Save it and Try to publish the project .

  • Swf compilation failed--error msg

    This is an ordinary project with no user-made variables.  I had been working for hours, adding effects to text when I got this msg which went on to say, "Note:  Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name."
    I rebooted the project, and still got the message when I would try to save or preview.

    Hi Lillbiri,
    I am running into the same problem as mentioned above. When I try to publish as a SWF I get the warning
    "swf compilation failed. Note: Please verify if any of the action script keywords is used as a variable name." When I asked Adobe chat about this they said it is caused by having a special character in one of my names. I went through each slide and do not have any special character in my slide names. Could it be caused from naming multiple slides the same thing?

  • Captivate 6 - SWF Compilation Failed Error Message Rears Ugly Head

    Hi all!
    I'm attempting to publish a project using Captivate 6 (with Flash Setting 10 or 11). I am publishing to my desktop, Windows 7 OS, and the message further states the thing about ActionScript and user variables having the same name or something. I've seen the message all over the forums, so I'm sure it's not new to you. I have not created any user variables, so I'm at a loss as to what to check here.
    My original problem was trying to get embedded videos to publish. I kept getting this "busy" looking icon and nothing ever happened. Now I can't even get the project to publish. Any help would be appreciated. I sold my boss on this great feature, yet can't seem to get the videos to work. Thanks in advance!!

    I'm was having this same problem for over a week now. I hunted through countless post with out finding a solution. It's not just with one project but all even fresh ones that have no varibles or actionscripts. I've uninstalled both Adobe Flash, and Java, and reinstalled them. I've also had a team member open my projects and was able to Preview and Publish them with no problem. I installed the same version of Java he's using with no resolve. My system is Windows XP Pro 32-bit, so it's not an issue of running the 64-bit version and switching. I have tried all the quick-fixes here with no change to the error message. My IT team has uninstalled and reinstalled the program as well.
    BUT!!
    I have found a solution which I am very surprised no one has suggested yet. This is what worked for me, using Adobe's dcache.exe tool, I cleared the Adobe Captivate Cache folder, reopend the projects and BAM, they compiled.
    Good luck everyone.

  • Swf compilation failed error when previewing/publishing anything

    I am not sure why this keeps happening, but nothing I do fixes this error.  I have had tried creating a new project and same thing happens.  I am using Captivate 6.  Anyone know of a resolution?

    Can you run your Mac update, probably, your Java needs to be updated, Mac has 10.7.5.
    After updating reboot the machine and test it again.
    On windows, when you launch, the Captivate displays that in its name itself.

    Hi There,
    Can you tell me the Operating System and Captivate version you are using?
    Also can you confirm if you are getting this issue will this one project or all the projects? Try to copy paste this project on a new blank project and then try to publish.

  • Error: "SWF Compilation Failed"

    I am currently working on updating an old CP4 file. While I can open and save the file in both CP5 and CP5.5, I am unable to preview in browser or publish the file. Instead, I receive the error "Swf compilation failed. Note: Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name/"
    After reviewing some of the discussion items on the forum, I was able to try some fixes, but with no luck. The project does not contain:
    Double quotations anywhere in project information or name
    User Variables
    I also tried removing any text entry boxes, but that did not solve the problem either. Oddly, I have had several separate projects to update and only one has this issue. It is preventing me from updating the file.
    Any help on how I can update and publish the file is appreciated.

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Did you tried copy and pasting all the slide of this project to a blank project ?
    Note : If the above step do not work, then try this :
    1) Copy 5 slides and publish
    2) If publish is successfull, try another 5 and publish again
    By these steps you will find the slide which has issue.
    Thanks,
    Vikram

  • SWF Compilation Failed with "Submit All" Option

    Hi,
    I am using Captivate 6.1 and created a quiz with single choice questions. When I turn on the "Submit All" option, I can not preview/publish the file anymore. It says "SWF Compilation Failed." and I am advised to check if any user variables contain AS keywords. I am not using any user variables in this project. Whenever I turn the "Submit All" option off, preview/publish are possible again.
    When publishing to HTML5, the error does not occur.
    Can you please help me with this issue, since I would appreciate using the "Submit All" option.

         SWF compilation can come for following reasons:
    1) If you use action script keywords in Captibvate project variables.
    Resolution: Make sure you don't use action script keywords.
    2) If you have invisible characters present in text fields.
    Resolution: Don't Copy/Paste text from some other application to Captivate text fields like Project information etc. Type with key board. Create a blank project and publish, if you still get SWF compilation issue then your 64 bit JVM might be corrupted.
    3) if your installation is 64 bit Captivate, 64 bit JVM might be corrupted.
    Add  Use32BitJVMForPublish = 1  in AdobeCaptivate.ini  file
    Close and Re-launch Captivate.
    Re-publish the project
    Captivate ini file is present at “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 x64” location

  • Swf compilation Failed.

    How do I get rid of this error!!!! I have read through your discussion thread for hours and see tons of people with this issue. I see no explanation of how to resolve it. What good is this program if I can't use it?
    I have re-installed Captivate, Updated Java and Flash. I tried to even create a new project with only pages created from your templates and no outside info and I still get "Please verify if any of the actionscript is used as user variable name."
    Some one said to remove the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable. I have no idea what that is or where I would remove it from. non of the other suggestions to fix this issue have worked.

  • I have a samsung scx 4100 series and i just updated to mountain lion and now i keep getting a "filter failed" error, anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it.

    I have a samsung scx 4100 series and i just updated to mountain lion and now i keep getting a "filter failed" error, anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it.

    Hi again, when you clicked on Mountain Lion and Lion in the App Store you are telling the laptop to reinstall them both.
    You may have allowed simutanious downloads checked at the bottom of the window, I don't know, but I expect Mountain Lion is downloading, so Lion is waiting for it to finish, so if you have Mountain Lion installed cancel both download's.
    Cancell both downloads anyway.
    Go to the apple logo , top left, click on it, then click on about this mac, a window will open telling you what's installed,  Mountain Lion is OX 10 version 10.8.2 click on more info, to find out more, Lion will be OX10 version 10.7.4.
    Only update were it say's check for updates, not download now.

    It means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.

  • I keep getting a connection failed error message from mail every time my computer goes to sleep, is shut down and/or I change network connections?

    Mail mail was working fine for months but now I keep getting an error message every time my computer shuts down or even goes to sleep.   I get the exclamation point error and when I try to reconnect it always falis.   My internet connection is fine and nothing else is losing connections.   The only way to fix it is to shut down mail completely and restart which fixes the connection every time, but it's getting really frustrating have to constantly shut down mail and restart it just to use my email.
