Importing swf from Captivate 3
Hi, has anyone imported a single swift file that contains its
own playback control into Presenter from a Captivate 3 published
file?
Currently when you publish from Cap 3 two files are created
xxx.swf and xxx_skin.swf... Importing both into Presenter does not
work either.
The idea is to have a voice over and points on the left side
of the slide and then on the right have the swf file with its own
playback control for the user to manually play after the voice
over.
By turning off the 'borders' in the Skin option will only
publish one swf file.

SWF from Captivate in other video editors
I have published some Captivate 2.0 movies to .swfs and they
work fine and run in my browser just fine. However, another group
needs them converted to a video format to put into another project.
No problem, I say, since we have Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0
which lists .swf as an import file format and .wmv and/or mpeg as
an export file format.
The problem is that when I bring the Captivate swfs into PE
it sees them as 1 second/x# of frames. I can download a random swf
from the Internet and PE reads it just fine, XXXseconds/XXX# of
frames.
I have tried tinkering with just about every setting in
Captivate and still can't get it to work. I've also tried just a
swf to .avi converted which worked fine, the .avi plays just fine,
but when I bring that .avi into an editor like PE it's one second
long again.
Help!I can't believe I didn't notice before that Captivate can't
output to a
movie format.
I'd download a trial version of Camtasia, open the SWF you
created with
Captivate, and use Camtasia to record it - then output to
AVI.
I think many conversion utilities expect Flash documents to
be 'linear'.
Captivate has movie clips in movie clips and is not a linear
file...so
these conversion utilities get confused.
Essentially, I think you'll need to record the original SWFs
playback
with some other software then publish as a movie. There are
lots of SWF
to AVI conversion utilities out there but I dunno how well
any will work
with Captivate-generated SWFs.

Insert and play a .swf (from captivate)
I imported a .swf and it comes in broken into 180 frames -
how can I use this in my main timeline without having to insert 180
frames (or more since I'll need to place other .swfs as well)?
Thought I could copy those frames into a new symbol (movie clip?)
and then place that.... just not sure how to do this correctly. It
doesn't seem to be working.
Also - this .swf is exported from Captivate - any special
file format I should ask for instead?
Thank you!Ok - I did that and am adding new frames to the movie clip
(piecing it back together since it imported as six different .swfs
for some reason), so I think I have to keep extending the timeline
to give it enough time to play (?), but unfortunately it doesn't
play a preview for me inside the .fla - I have to test movie each
time. Does that sound normal/right to you? I guess you always have
to add frames in the main timeline to accomodate however many
frames are within the movie clip? (kind of a pain but if it's the
only way I guess I'll live) :-) -
Importing swf from bin-release to Flash Professional..
Hello,
I'm trying to take a .swf from the bin-release folder from Flash Builder and import it into Flash Professional CS5 and it doesn't work. Here are the steps I have taken:
I'm using the following simple code in FlashBulder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="
1200" height="450" backgroundColor="
#cc5500"
>
<mx:Canvas color="#ffffff"backgroundColor="
#000000"width="
100%" height="100%"
>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Application>
I create a project (Project->Export Release Build)
I copy the .swf from the bin-release folder to my desktop.
Finally I open Flash Professional CS5 create a new .fla and try to import the swf using File->Import->Import to Stage but nothing happens.
I can import other swfs that I have created from Flash Professional successfully.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance.The solutions is to navigate to the Flex Compiler tab
(Project>Properties) and add the
“-use-network=false” argument to the “Additional
compiler arguments” line. -
Cfpresentation with a swf from captivate 3
I have a swf file that I created with captivate 3 for some
user training. I thought it would be a good idea to include it in
the new cfpresentation tag. When I run it, the cfpresentation tag
starts and then I see the captivate starting icon comes up and then
it is a white screen. I can run the swf from the browser and the
file runs find. I put a cfpresentationslide before this slide and
that one comes up fine but then it goes to this next slide and I
again only get a white screen. THe swf file runs about 30-45
seconds. Am I doing something wrong? Here is the code. I just have
the basic since I just want to see it run.I built a SWF in a program called Articulate and tried to
include it in a cfpresentation and it had the same result.
I also included a SWF built in Adobe Flash that included
sound and the sound does not make it into the cfpresentation.
I think the <cfpresentation> tag is a good start, but
it certainly isn't the jaw-dropping, WOW, this changes everything
tag that I initially thought it was. -

Hello,
I am new to Captivate 5, my scenario is - I want to publish videos (swf) files on our help desk. Previously all such files were part of HTML pages which require registration.Importantly I got all those flash files by getting the path of the file from HTML pages (eg. I opened the source of HTML page and navigated to where the swf file is mentioned and cut paste it)
- Can I open existing swf files into Captivate 5
Regards
SyedWelcome to our community
Are you asking if Captivate will allow you to click File > Open and open one of these files and allow you to make edits to it?
If so, the answer is no, it will not allow that. You should be able to insert one of these files as an animation on a slide, but how well that may or may not work will depend on a number of factors.
Cheers... Rick

Help! I have a swf (flash movie) I am importing into
Captivate 3. The swf (flash movie) is 6 frames. I need the movie to
start on page 2 with the option of selecting the previous and/or
next buttons (also set up within that movie).
Right now if it displays on page 2/6, 3/6, through to 6/6
...I have no way of getting back to the previous pages. Hope this
makes sense. I am just trying everything I can or know to get this
working.
Using ActionScript 2 - Flash 8Hi All - I made the adjustments as noted above. Published at
30fps and Action Script 1.0. Checked transparency. Tried loading
from top and bottom in Flash publish settings. Still no luck.
I tried some other experiments as well. I right clicked on
the animation and tried moving to front / back etc. with no change
in results. But, when I merged the animation with slide background
... i could see an image of my swf in the published and preview
versions. But, it was static - not playing. -
I have a project that has multiple chapters. Within those chapters there are multiple sections. Some of the sections are used in other projects. So for version control, I would like to create a captivate project that finds these sections that are outside of the project. In other words, I might make a project about fruit and another about food. Both have a chapter about apples. If I change apples, i would like for it to affect both fruit and food (man I hope this makes sense).
Is there anyway to do this? So far people have said 'cut and paste the slides', but I will literally be using some sections in 10 different projects. Having the ability to update one main 'apples' file and have it update in all 10 projects is what I am looking for.
Thanks,
VanThe secret ingredient in all successful daisy-chaining is to use relative links, not absolute links (which would only work on your computer).
If you've done that, then all you should need to do is copy the folder containing the published course files over to the client's computer.
If your client is running this course from their computer hard-drive or a LAN drive, you'll need to make sure that they have this folder set up in their own Flash Global Security settings as a trusted location. -

Pause imported swf when Captivate movie is paused
Hello,
I have created several small swf-animations (e.g. textboxes
flying in) which I use in a captivate movie. This works fine,
however, when the movie is paused and then continuied, the
swf-animations on the slide start over again. I have noticed that
the swf-animations that come with Captivate don't show this
behaviour. What's the (actionscript?) trick?
Thanks for your suggestions.
JanThis problem stumped everyone...I was on the phone with
Raptivity for DAYS!! here is the solution they proposed which seems
to work......
Step 1: Open a Blank project and click on
‘Insert-Animation’. Browse for the swf file of
Raptivity and click OK.
Step 2: Save this project.(Create a new folder for this
project on some location on your machine.)
Step 3: Select Edit > Preferences.
a. In the Publish Settings option of the Project menu, select
Animations in the Externalize Resources list.
b. In the General Settings option of the Global menu, browse
for the saved folder (under Default locations) of Captivate’s
project and click on OK.
Step 4: Now click on ‘Insert-Animation’ and
browse for the fix.swf file (attached along with this mail) and
click on OK.
Step 5: Select Edit > Preferences.
a. In the Publish Settings option of the Project menu, select
Animations in the Externalize Resources list.
b. In the General Settings option of the Global menu, browse
for the saved folder (under Default locations) of Captivate’s
project and click on OK.
Step 6: Publish the file. To do so, click on the menu
File-Publish and ensure you publish this in the same folder of
Captivate’s project.
Finished !!! you have successfully integrated Raptivity into
Captivate directly. -
Importing scores to ToolBook from Captivate
Does anybody here use ToolBook?
Is there a way to import the scores from a Captivate quiz (or simulation) into ToolBook?Toolbook, last I knew, was an Authoring Tool.
So a more appropriate question would seem to be, 'how to import content from Captivate to Toolbook' (and I doubt that's possible, unless maybe Toolbook can read Captivate's XML export...also unlikely).
However, Toolbook is/was owned by SumTotal, right? And SumTotal has an LMS, right? So is that what you mean?
If so, SumTotal can handle SCORM and CP can publish a SCORM-compliant file....so you certainly can get scores generated in Captivate quizzes into the SumTotal LMS...
But that's a lot of leaps from what your actual question was!

What's the right/best way to publish from Captivate 7 for use in Presenter 9
Just upgraded to captivate 7 and have presenter 9. We are updating some old training courses created using Presenter with demos created in Captivate. I've gotten as far as upgrading the old .cp files to .cpx files and now am ready to publish the files within Captivate so I can import them into Presenter 9.
When I hit 'publish' in captivate there are options to publish as .swf and/or .html5. So I am trying to fugre out what will work best given what I'm trying to do. In presenter I don't see an option to import HTML5, only video files or .swf files, is that correct? in which case i need to publish as .SWF files? Is that the best way to do it in order to be able to import into Presenter 9?
If that's the case, and I need to have .SWF files, how do I choose which Flash Player version I want to use when I publish the files in Captivate? It's got the drop down box containing Flash 10, 10.2 and 11. My instinct would be to use the newest (flash 11). Is that correct? If not, why would I want to use a lower Flash version?
thank you!Hi,
You can publish to either as .mp4 (Go to publish >Media >Mp4 ) or .swf from Captivate 7. In presenter 9 you do have an option to either import .swf or .mp4 files. See the image below to import these two formats in presenter:

Difference between published Captivate 5.5 swf and Captivate 7 swf?
I have a custom SCORM framework built in Flash that handles all of the calls to an LMS, and I simply insert published SWFs from Captivate; everything has been working great for a few years now. The problem I am experiencing now is that content that I have published from Captivate 5.5 shows up just fine, but I upgraded to Captivate 7 and now the SWF files hang during loading, or simply show a black screen. My client uses SumTotal LMS, so I first thought it might be an issue with the LMS, but this is the case in every single LMS I have tested in, so it is definitely some anomaly in the different versions of the published files.
So I guess I am trying to figure out what is different between the two SWFs published in different versions?I don't think so that it is the soulotion for this problem , but you in publish setting/ start and end part (something like this, I don't remember the name completely ) / you can turn off the preloader and fade in at start checkbox and turn on the autoplay.
this can solve the problem temporary till adobe find better way for it .
