IMPORTING FLASH FILE IN CAPTIVATE

Hi!
I have an interactive training module created with Flash. It has buttons, videos, and quizzes.
Now, to make it compatible with SCORM. I was advised to use Captivate.
Is it possible to export the whole flash file in Captivate? Please help.
Thank you very much!

If this was all developed in Flash then the best bet is to use the Pipwerks SCORM wrapper to make your Flash file compatible.
More info here: http://pipwerks.com/
You may be able to insert your Flash file as an animation into Captivate, but this won't make it SCORM compatible.  You might be able to recode the Flash file as an interactive widget and make it have a Success result when the user passes the module.  Then when you insert it into Captivate you can set the interactive widget to have a score.
More information about coding widgets can be found here:

  • How to import .exe files into Captivate

    I have some Flash .exe files that I want to import into
    Captivate so I can combine the files....and also so I can choose
    the properties for the files (for example, either to run on a loop
    or also to take to a website upon completion).
    So, how do I import .exe files into Captivate?

    Hi Steve
    Unless you can find some sort of a converter out on the web,
    I think you are out of luck. I am aware of the SoThink SWF
    decompiler (
    http://www.sothink.com/product/flashdecompiler
    ) but I'm somewhat doubtful it will work on .EXE files. Perhaps it
    will.

  • Imported Flash files are not playing in published output

    Adobe Presenter 7 with the latest updates and PowerPoint 2007
    When I insert a Captivate 3 generated Flash file into a Presenter slide, the flash file does not play in the Published output. The slide's image is displayed for 5 seconds and then stops.
    After further review, I found that my imported Flash files are not included in the output. Any ideas?
    Terry

    Hi Terry,
    It's been awhile since I've messed around w/ Captivate 3, but I have a quick question: does your Captivate content include a skin.swf file?  If so, then you may have to look at a couple of different solutions to fix the playback problem that you're seeing with Presenter.
    One fix includes eliminating the skin by turning the borders option off which will eliminate the "_skin.swf" file. That'll be one less file to deal with, but you need to do that BEFORE publishing in Captivate.  From there, you should end up with one swf file from your Captivate content; and then at that point you can include that swf in your Presenter content.
    And while we're at it....are you using any Full Motion Recordings at all?  I've seen instances where, as you reported, Captivate content will run for awhile, but then the screen "goes blank"...so I'm just curious to know if your Captivate content in actuality has many more files than the "base" swf---which is probably the swf you included in PowerPoint.
    Having said that, can you share more information about what your Captivate project looks like (in terms of the number of swf files you're working with, etc), and let's see if we can resolve this for you.

  • Import flash file into application

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to import flash file (macromedia flash) into an application?Thanks for any help.

    Unfortunately, your out of luck.
    Fw, and other applications, for that matter, does not handle .fla/.swf files in that manner.
    As your search yielded, Flash is better suited to handle native Fw files/artwork as library assets.

    One thing to point out, if you are doing this with the trial. While it is 100% (nothing crippled, or omitted), the trial WILL put a watermark on the finished Project. If you are doing this for work, be aware of that watermark. This http://forums.adobe.com/thread/433730?tstart=0 will give you some tips and background.
    Good luck, and I do not want you to be surprised and mad, when you get that watermark.

  • Flash file into captivate playing slow first time

    Hi.
    I am very new to flash but have been using Captivate for
    awhile now. I am trying to create an animation in flash of a book
    flipping pages. I have 9 jpg images of the various stages of the
    book flipping. When I import the first image into Flash it asks if
    I want to include the entire series of images. I said yes to this
    and now I am stuck. When I test the movie in Flash it plays slow
    once and then really fast after that.
    I saved it and imported it into a captivate project and the
    same thing is happening. It plays really slow and choppy. If I
    navigate away from the page and then come back to it, it plays
    really fast (faster than I'd like but I'd prefer that to slow)
    Any help. I searched on the Flash forum and found someone
    else with this issue but they never got a response.
    Any suggestions would be great. I am sure I am missing a step
    here but I just can't figure out what it is.
    Thanks,
    Kim

    When you say you play it, in either Captivate or Flash, do
    you mean
    locally or that you upload it somewhere and play it back
    through a web
    browser from that website location?
    If the former, then I'm not sure. If the latter, sounds like
    the images
    are Very Large and it's taking a while for them to download
    in order to
    play...but once they're downloaded and 'cached', the file
    plays quickly.
    How large are your published SWFs? What format are your
    images? What DPI?

  • Slowing down an imported Flash file

    Hi,
    Using Insert - Animation, I've imported a file with an .swf extension. My only problem is that it is playing too fast in my Captivate movie. Outside of Captivate, it plays slower.
    What options do I need to tweak in order to change its playing speed?
    Thanks very much in advance.

    Hello, this is indeed the cause for the speed of the imported Flash. I do not think you can change this in Captivate. If it was produced in Flash, you have to change it in Flash itself. I do not believe you want the speed of the CP changed from 30fps to 380fps.

  • Can't import .avi files into Captivate 4

    I need some help, I'm getting really frustrated.  My project consists of about 10 short movies (2-3 minutes each) with quiz questions between the movies.  The movies were produced in Adobe Premiere Elements 2 and exported as .avi files.  When I go to import the files, I get this error:  "This AVI file cannot be converted into a Adobe Flash file.  Conversion aborted."
    I have tried converting the .avi files into .flv files (using Flash Video Encoder CS3), but that doesn't work for us for two reasons.  Captivate won't display the .flv files while in edit mode; it will only play them after the entire project has been produced.  After the project has been produced, however, the video of the .flv displays, but the audio from ALL of the .flv files in the project plays at the same time, rendering all of the dialogue unintelligible.
    I have been trying to solve this problem for a couple of weeks now, but I'm not getting anywhere.  Is there a specific codec I should be trying to use here?  Is there another process I should be using?  Is there a way that I can resolve the .flv issues?

    I'm OCD about this sort of stuff, too!
    I just insert my .avi files as animations, and that seems to work fine, so I'm no help there.
    I don't know enough about codecs to even comment. *sigh*
    And, my problem with .flv's has always been the other way around. When I insert an .flv, it always asks for the absolute path (like C:\Videos\VideoName.flv). Then, right before I create the .zip to upload to the LMS, I have to edit the path to VideoName.flv, and then check to make sure the file is on the .zip root, otherwise it won't play on the LMS 'cause it "can't find the file."
    Sorry I couldn't be of any more help, but if you're like me, at least you can get your work done while this eats into your mind and eventually drives you crazy. *grin*

  • Importing flash files (with sound!) can it be done?

    Hi!
    I sucessfully importing a flash file but im not sure if the sound has imported with it, does anyone know if I can import a flash file with sounds or do I have to import the sound seperatly?
    Helen

    Helen,
    After Effects can import .SWF files but unfortunately it does not recognize the audio in a .SWF file.
    If it helps, AE can import .FLV files and it WILL recognize the audio in them.

  • Need help placing Flash file in Captivate...

    I have a few short animations I did in Flash that I want to put in Adobe Captivate. They place fine and play fine. But I wanted to know if it is possible to have the last frame of the animation show for the rest of the captivate slide. I'm using Captivate 6 and Flash Pro CS6. Thanks!

    That depends mostly on what you did in the Flash file.  You should ideally NOT fade out the animation at the end and it should terminate with a stop(); action inside the Flash file on its last frame.  Have all of the animation on the main timeline in Flash so that it's not buried down inside a symbol, which would just continue to loop.  Then in Captivate, don't use fade out there either.

  • Nested flash files in Captivate

    I have 3 swf animations in my Captivate file. When I run the
    published Captivate file in IE, the animations don't always load
    properly - particularly if I fast forward or go backward. I've
    spent days trying to figure this one out. When I run the swf file
    (that Captivate creates during publishing) in the Flash player, it
    works perfect. When I run it in Firefox it works perfect. BUT, when
    I run it in IE 6, the problems occur....and its never consistent.
    Sometimes they load, sometimes they don't. I'm assuming the problem
    is coming from IE 6. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a
    fix for this?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Like ive said in this topic, i need to know where Altartifact put his files in his iDisk, too.
    Ive tried all that i know, location in the Web folder, site folder, "my website" folder... Link with "../", with .//"... xD

    I cant understand... this code was working with iWeb Enhancer... :/

  • Importing Flash Animation into Captivate

    I am trying to Import an animation from flash 8 into
    Captivate. It allows me to do this however the frame rate of the
    animation which was created in flash when imported to Captivate
    changes. Does anyone know how change the frame rate of the
    animation in captivate.

    Hi laxmi1 and welcome to the community
    Hopefully when you created your Flash animation, you
    published as Flash 6 output.
    I believe the standard frame rate for Flash is 12. Captivate
    is 30. So you can either bump the Flash rate up to 30 and
    re-publish, or in Captivate, you can adjust the frame rate to match
    Flash and set it for 12. To do this, click Movie >
    Preferences... > Preferences tab. From there, it should be quire
    obvious what to do.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Import mpg file into Captivate

    Hi
    I am using Captivate 1.0 and I know it does not support
    importing mpg file. Would you please let me know the free software
    to convert mpg video file to avi file? The latter one is supported
    in Captivate. Thanks a lot!

    PPTX files sometimes don't import.  Save as PPT instead and try that.

  • Importing Flash Files

    Hello. I'm new to this forum. I tried getting answers on the Adobe Forums with no luck. I'm trying to get my Flash files saved as Quicktime movies so that I can move those to iMovie 8. Basically, I want to be able to put my animated clip into iMovie to go along with the rest of my main video. I've tried exporting my flash file as a quicktime movie file, but the quality is awful. The animation is laggy and I have a lot of static around the images. Could anyone help me, please? I'm also going to post this in the iMovie forum in case this is the wrong area. I have Flash CS4 and iMovie8. Thank you!

  • Can I import Flash files to Premiere

    I have a video I'm trying to put animation into, and I was hoping there was a way to do the animation in flash and import it into premiere.

    That depends on what version of Premiere Pro you're running. CC7.0.1 and earlier: yes. CC7.1 and later: no. For a little more on Flash support being removed: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/premiere-pro-cannot-import-flv.html
    The current version of Adobe Media Encoder continues to support importing Flash content, so if you're on PPro 7.1 or later, then one option is to use AME to transcode to another format.
