Interactions not working in Captivate 7

I have purchased Captivate 7. There are supposed to be "interactions". When I go to ->Insert ->Interactions a blank popup window appears. When I start clicking around in that window a few interactions appear, but not he entire list. I need to access "web interaction" so as to import html into a Captivate project. If I click on any of the interactions and click "insert" I get popup saying "not a valid widget". I was told that these interactions are available "out of the box" for Captivate 7. Any ideas of how I can get this to work?

After you launch Captivate and create/open a project, please wait for sometime (maximum a couple of minutes) and then launch Interaction dialog.
If it still doesn't work then You may also try to recreate your preferences.Delete or rename the Captivate 7 folder from the location mentioned below.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7
Mac: /Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Captivate 7

Self-Paced Learning - Bookmark not working in Captivate 5

I followed the directions of adding a Table of Contents to one of my captivate projects and selecting Self-Paced Learning in order to create a bookmark but this does not work. I have saved it as Adobe Flash 9 and Adobe Flash 10 but I am not getting the message about starting where I left off when either refreshing the browser or exiting and going back in. What am I missing?
Thanks for your time,
Brenda

All slides in the presentation are marked as continue. I have gone
through the first 5 slides and when I refresh the browser or exit out of
Internet Explorer and open the project again it just starts at the
beginning.

Hello Brenda,
How did you check: after uploading to a LMS?
You have to be aware of the fact that a slide will be marked as 'viewed'
only when the playbar has played the whole slide till the end. If you do
pause slides with a click box, button, TEB and attach the action 'Go to
Next slide' or something similar instead of the default action 'Continue'
this will not happen and the slide will not be marked as completed.

Captivate 8 drag and drop interaction not working

Hi, I am working with Captivate 8 and created a drag and drop interaction using the drag and drop wizard. For some reason when I preview the interaction some of my drag sources work and others do not. I have searched high and low for what I may be doing wrong but I can't figure it out. I created types when making the interaction so it doesn't make sense that some should work and others do not. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Ok, so I inserted the screen shots below. I realize the items are overlapping in the wiring. I did change that and try it but it still didn't work. Maybe I need to completely rebuild it? I created types so that 9 would go to one target and 6 to the other.Thank you so much for your quick help on all of this.

Learning Interactions not working in Chrome

This is my first time using Captivate (8.01). My problem is that 3 widgets/learning interactions are not working when viewed in Chrome. It is a responsive project. They work fine in Safari.
Would greatly appreciate any information about how I can fix this. Thanks.

Yes. Jeopardy, Process Circle and Millionaire. I did find out (through a nice, long -and helpful -chat with Adobe support) that these interactions will work on the Chrome browser when accessed from an LMS. I needed to send them out to reviewers because I didn't have access to an LMS. I just defaulted and asked them to use a different browser.
Thanks for replying and offering to help.

VTML-Tags for text-to-speech do not work in Captivate 6 - are they working in Cap. 7 again?

I had a hart time to find out, that the functionality was "forgotten" to be programmed in the version 6.
Together with Neospeech I worked long to make single voices work in full functionality and it cost additional licence fee... unfortunately the voices sound tinny so I cannot really use them...and due to different time zones it is hard to find the error together with Neospeech
Now I see that Captivate 7 is available.
Is there already qualified info if the vtml tags work again like they did in older versions?
Adobe Support hotline was NO HELP at all, very unfriendly... only idea was, that I should get the test version and find out myself, pretty impertinent.

Hi
You might already know this, but stating it here to rule out the simple failure cases.
I have had a similar problem in the past using VTML tags inside Captivate. I used to type the slidenotes in my favorite editor and then copy paste the text from there to the slidenotes panel of Captivate. Turns out that my editor was using Unicode and hence the entire text pasted into Captivate slidenotes became unicode text, including the VTML markers. Though the pasted text "looked" fine the markers were messed up (for example, the double quotes around the value attributes looked like double quotes but they were actually multibyte unicode sequences) and this confused Neospeech. The output audio would be funny (for example it would read "Less Than...V...T...M...L...") or NeoSpeech will crash taking down Captivate along with it.
The fix was quite simple. I started typing the slide notes from within Captivate slide notes panel and everything worked fine after that. Alternately I could type in my favorite editor (after making sure that it is operating in Plain text mode) and then copy paste work flow also worked fine.
Another common mistake (at least, I do that often) is to select the speech agent from the drop down at the top of the dialog and forgetting to choose the speech agents for individual slide notes, which may still be referring to a non-neo-speech agent which does not understand the VTML tags.
No other software tool was required like the German Adobe Support team may have mentioned. I am using Captivate 7.

Navigate Value Interaction not working with UNIONs displayed as pivot

hi all - If created dozens of requests the uses drilling. Now I'm getting strange behavior in a certain scenario...
I have a request that is a pivot view and contains UNIONs. One of the columns, employee name, is set up as 'Navigate' for the Value Interaction property. The request drilled to has employee name set up as 'Is Prompted' in the criteria.
If the main request is displayed as a table view, the drilling works fine - the drilled to request opens with the intended employee that was clicked on in the main request. However, if the main request is a pivot view (which is the view I want) instead of a table view, the drilling does not work as intented - the drilled to request opens with all the employee names. I just want to drill on the clicked upon employee, not all the employees.
I'm using OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
Any suggestions as to why this would work as a table view but not as a pivot view?
Thanks!

The best solution is to define hyperlink for the detail report in the report column itself. Change the expression of column to HTML hyperlink. (Make sure value interaction is disabled) Use Go URL syntax to navigate to detail report and pass parameter, something like below:
<pre>'<a href=”saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/ReportName&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Emp.Name&P3=’ || Emp.Name || ‘">’ || Emp.Name || ‘</a>’</pre>

Click boxes and buttons not working in Captivate 3 published projects

I really, really, hope that someone can help me...
we are migrating from Centra/Saba LMS to Connect Pro LMS and while taking our "old" SCORM projects and posting them to the Connect Pro server we have encountered an issue...and the reason it's very hard to trouble shoot is that it's not all of the projects....??
Once a project is pulished none of the buttons or click boxes are working - for instance we use a play button on the frist slide for students to enter the course - you click it nothing happens (except when you mouse over the button it does change color)...same with the click boxes - I can use the progress bar to move froward but anything I click just doesn't respond...
Has anyone encountered this? and I hope know something we can do?
THANKS SO MUCH,
Jen

Do your published projects work outside of your LMS?
Or is it just inside the new LMS that it isn't working?
Usually buttons and click boxes not working is because your slides are pausing before the button becomes active.
What version of Captivate and Flash are you using?

Accessibility options not working in Captivate 7

I need help. I can't get my project to in captivate 7 to be accessible. I've tried testing on JAWs and for some odd reason it seems like the enable accessbility is not working cause everything is messed up when I test on JAWs. Is their anybody that would be willing to help me look at my file?

What, exactly, do you mean by "messed up"? There are certain things that do and do not work in JAWS, and you need to build to the limitations of the screen reader see this link for a list: Jaws and Cp 7.01.237 - not BFFs? Beyond that, there are workarounds, depending on what exactly is messed up. If you can detail the issues, maybe I can help you get on the right path.

Swf with external .as files not working in Captivate

Hello,
I am using Flash Professional CS5.5 & Captivate 5.5 (purchased with eLearning suite).
When I insert swf animations into Captivate that have external .as files they do not work.
Tried both insert animation & insert animation slide - same results.
I placed the .as files in the same file as my Captivate project and have tried multiple setting options.
The FPS are set to 30.
I had the same problem with external audio files and had to embed the audio into my fla to get it to play in Captivate.
Does Captivate just not allow external files?
Any help/insight is appreciated!!
Les-

The most likely reason for this failure is that since your SWF is now embedded into another SWF (the Captivate project) the paths to the AS files need to be altered in Flash to allow for this.
You need to investigate how this would be done in AS code if your Flash SWF was a symbol inside another Flash SWF.

Right-click feature not working in Captivate 4.0

Hello:
I am new to Captivate 4.0 and have a huge problem. I create software simulation training modules and publish them as .swf files. I then save them to a shared network folder where our web team links to them on our company Intranet site. The right-click feature is not working in any of the modules. I have changed my Preferences to remove the Enable Accessibility checkmark and publish to Flash Version 9. I understand that this is probably a Flash security setting problem. How do I make this work so that all 15,000 users at our company can view these modules and have the right-click feature work? Any help is greatly appreciated as I am getting very frustrated as I upgraded to 4.0 specifically for the right-click feature! I know very little about Flash and hope there is someone who can help me in simple "layman's" terms.

Hi there
Are you opening the Captivate by pointing only at the SWF? I ask because I believe the associated HTML file Captivate creates is involved. So if you are only opening via the SWF it would stand to reason the Right-click would fail.
If it's the Flash Security settings, you would be well advised to consider migrating the content from a network server to a Web Server. (company Intranet)

Flash Catalyst SWF file not working in Captivate 4

Hi,
I downloaded the trial version of Flash Catalyst to use in conjuction with Captivate (I don't know how to write code) so that I have scrolling text boxes in my project. Well, Flash Catalyst works as designed, but when I go to import the swf file into captivate, they don't play nice together. My project is in AS3, which is congruent with Flash Catalyst. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong, or work arounds to get it to run would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,
I got your file, thanks! I have not tried it inside Captivate because I was not on the same machine were Captivate is installed. However, if you tried to use, in Captivate, the main.swf file located in the deploy-to-web folder than you will have some issues. The file in that folder is very lightweight because it will download at run-time the flex framework. Therefore, if the framework is not in the same location as the main.swf when captivate runs, the animation will not show up properly. So, if you copy the other swf and swz in the same folder were Captivate publishes, then it should work.
However, there is an easier way to do this. You have another folder called run-local. This folder contains a bigger main.swf file. This file already contains all the framework part in it. So, if you try to use this file instead, it should work inside Captivate.
Give this a try and let me know if it works out.

Exit button not working in Captivate 7 published output

Hi. I am using Capivate v7 and am experiecing this problem with published output:
I am using an Exit button that runs the standard javascript code
javascript:window.close()
so that the user can exit the presentation. The button works fine when I test out the presentation using Internet Explorer 8, but when I generate an output and try running the .swf file, the button does not work.
How do I get an Exit button to work for the .swf output?
Thanks,
- Michael Fekete

Yes, the close X does work 100% of the time. That's because the browser itself is just a window in the operating system. And you are commanding the window to close.
And you might find yourself asking why that would work while the Exit button fails. And it would be that it's a security issue. Security prevents the window from closing because if a web site was nefarious, it could actually trap you by making changes and quickly closing the window and preventing you from browsing elsewhere.
It's simple to turn off the Exit button. Just click Project > Skin Editor and clear the Close checkbox.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate 7 "Notes" interaction not working properly

When viewing project on an ipad, whenever the Notes widget is included on a slide, all the click boxes, URL links etc. on the slide are disabled until the Notes icon has been opened and closed. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Also, any notes typed into the Notes widget disappear once you click "hide notes" - this happens in Chrome, IE and Firefox. The only way of getting the text to be retained is to leave the Note open and visible on the slide before advancing. This then seems to result in multiple notes being created. Are there any plans to improve the Notes interaction? This would be a really useful feature but it is currently too buggy to be used safely.

Hi Aslib,
The notes widget needs to be included only once in a project. You do not have to place in on every slide.
Place the widget on the first slide of the project and set the Timing to - 'Rest of Project' under the timing panel in Captivate. This allows the widget to be used for the entire project.
There are 2 settings which you can use for the notes widget which will allow you to have either slide based notes or project based notes.
- Slide based notes - allows you to take notes for each individual slide and add notes to each slide separately. (This is the default setting).
- Project based notes - allows you to have one note which will be displayed for the entire project.
Using Project based notes should cater to your current need.
Hope this helps.
