IPad iBook - Frame flicker playing widget created from captivate 8 export

Hey all
I've used custom widgets in iBooks author with a high level of success.
However, I've run into a specific problem that only seems to affect iPad 3s and 4s running iOS version 7.1 and 8.1.2.
I've published html5 only in Captivate 8.0 on a PC. This produces a bunch of HTML, CSS, JS files and folders. I turned this into a widget like all the others that have worked in the past. Then I imported into iBooks Author but when opening on the iPad 4 (iOS 7.1 and 8.1.2), each change in frames produces a momentary flicker.
The problem does not happen when testing on the iPad 3 on any of the above iOSs so far.
Any ideas?

IPad app created from Captivate using PhoneGap Build has ugly warning

I have an app that is generated by Captivate 7 that I have published as HTML5 and then converted to an iPad app using Adobe PhoneGap Build.
After conversion, I get a white screen on launch with a dialog box stating "Adobe Captivate - This browser does not support some of the content in the file you are trying to view. Use one of the following browsers." The message includes a list of versions of Safari, Internet Explorer, and Chrome. If I dismiss the dialog and then hit the play button, the app works fine.
With this warning, apps created from PhoneGap Build are pretty ugly.
Getting rid of the warning is mandatory for us. I'd also like to get rid of the need to hit the Play button.

Just to clear up my third question, I'm not asking whether our customers will need a set of these credentials to access our content, I'm asking if its required I get these credentials to publish the content.

Playing DVDs created from Mac the Ripper...workflow?

I've used Mac the Ripper to copy a DVD I have. What is the workflow on how to make that file folder that has Audio_TS and Video_TS (created from Mac the Ripper) onto another DVD AND make it self-play once it gets inserted into the player?
Thanks!

If you have rights/permission to copy the DVD, make a Disc Image then burn another copy from the Finder.

Or, if the original disc isn't set for the track to be the "first play," you can use MPEG Streamclip to demux the audio and video, then use those files as assets in a new DVD-SP project for reauthoring.
Either way, I would not recommend using Mac the Ripper.

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) :-)

Swf created at one frame rate, plays very slow in Captivate

Mac Leopard, Flash CS5, Captivate CS5 Demo, all updates applied to the CSS5 Suite
I created swf with one frame on the main timeline, all animation is done within a single movieclip on that frame. When published from flash it plays at my desired speed 30 FPS. When in Captivate it moves 1 fps.
Is this a standard for Captivate in playing the swf?
Additonally when I set to Durtation of animation its just fills the however long the time length is for the slide, even though the animation ends long before that.
Searched help, searched the forums, any recommendations or alternative search terms i should be using to find the answer.
Thank you.

Hello,
Glad it worked, and sorry, do see it was your first posting and forgot to say Welcome on the Captivate forum.
Good question: I searched the Help and the only thing about synchronisation I found was what I paste at the bottom of this post. Perhaps you could add some comment in the Help about this subject? I did not check the videos and do not know about an existing manual? Just know (how? out of experience) that it is best to synchronize, that is all.
Have a nice day,

Synchronize With Project
Synchronizes the speed at which the animation file plays with the Timeline speed. If you find that the animation file is not playing smoothly, test with this option selected and cleared to see which setting gives you better results.

Would like feedback on role play simulation created in Captivate 3

I created this simulation in Captivate 3. It is based on a soft skill role play simulation that was initially created for the Harvard Business School using Javascript.
I was wondering if anyone out there is doing anything similar. I'd like to share ideas with them.
http://progressive1.acs.playstream.com/ADPNAS//progressive/Walter_Test/Harvard%20Scenario. swf

I just tried it. The look and feel of the project are wonderful.
I noticed that many (most) of the choices weren't hot, that is to say a hand cursor didn't display when I put the cursor over them. On many slided I could only choose one option. Is the program still in mock-up? I viewed it in the Chrome browser.
I choose the "wrong" answer on a slide and liked the way it let me try again. But would the program be more effective in teaching if the feedback on the wrong answer slide gave information on how the answer is deficient? In this example the Director said I was being defensive and that is feedback on the choice I made. So I know the answer is "wrong" but not what specifically is wrong about it. Something like "Your response focused on (fill in blank A) while the strategy we are teaching focuses on (fill in blank B). Go back and see what other response does a better job of directing her attention to (blank B).
Similarly, the Directors response to correct answers tells me that I got the answer correct, but not why. Some sort of audio feedback (I'm inventing a narrartor here) who says something like "That was an effective response. Your response focuses on (B) which is a key aspect of our strategy.
For what its worth, thanks I enjoyed the simulation.

Playing purchased movies from iPad that had been synced to my computer

Downloaded purchased movie from itunes to my computer and then synced it to my IPad. I tried playing the movie from my iPad to my apple tv and it says this device is not authorized to play content. Also tried from iPod but no luck! I can watch the movie on my iPad but I can't AirPlay it! Any suggestions,

Like you I am having the same problem. I am at a loss, seems despite the fact I have purchased the content and am only using the TV as a display I don't understand the authorization question. I hope someone has an answer.

How do I un-embed a video? I deleted the youtube video from ibooks author on my iMac, but it won't delete from the ipad ibook view. It shows up in my book as a blank bar until I tap it, then it plays the video.

Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

How can I code to play audio continuously from page to page in iBooks for reflow ePub

Hi,
I have tried and successfully completed the iBooks ambient soundtrack option in Fixed Layout ePub. It works fine.
But while trying the same in Reflow ePub, it is not working in iPad iBooks. I have latest iBooks version and latest iOS version in my iPad.
Please let me know how can I code to play audio continuously from page to page in iBooks for reflow ePub?
Thanks,
Sundaram

As soon as the user turns to the next page, the audio stops.
That's how it works in all cases.
the book is a read aloud book.

Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.

If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

I want to play a movie from my ipad on my tv, all hooked up and i get an error message that the tv isn't authorized to play it.

I Want to play a movie from my ipad, on a tv but get a tv not authorized message, how do you authorize a tv?

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types. You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer. When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right. Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right. Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad. I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD. works very well. Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store). Works about the same.
You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there. I do that all the time with my iPhone. Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.
