Issue with Captivate 8 using IE with HTML5

I discovered a rather unique situation with Captivate 8 and IE.  We have a SuccessFactors LMS with the content stored on a CDN server (cross domain environment).  I found that when we launched modules created with Captivate 8 using Internet Explorer (ver 9 and higher) we would get a blank page. The same modules published with captivate 7 worked fine.  I discovered that the index.html file was different between the Cap7 and Cap8 versions.  The Cap8 version has 2 new lines in it:
function OnLoad_Activities()
var lFrameset = document.getElementById("myFrameset");
var newFrame = document.createElement("frame");
newFrame.id = "scormdriver_content";
newFrame.name = "scormdriver_content";
newFrame.width = "100%";
newFrame.height = "100%";
var lParamString = window.location.toString().split("?")[1];
The newFrame.width and newFrame.height lines are the new lines.  If I comment them out, the page loads just fine.  Apparently IE has an issue with this.  has anyone else run into this problem?

Hello ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums !
Could you please check the version of Captivate you are using to publish (Go to Help > About Adobe Captivate) ?
Also check the version of Scorm you are using , Try switching between Scorn 1.2 to Scorm 2004 or vice versa .
Also try renaming the published output try to keep it simple , means without spacing or any special character.

  • Video Issues with HTML5 Output

    Hello there,
    I have a project with several videos on seperate slides that are located inbetween normal content slides.
    Works fine with SWF output and HTML5 output viewed on the pc, but...
    when I test the course on an iPad the video plays quite fine the first time I watch it.
    However when I jump back to the video the screen stays black for the duration of the video.
    When there is audio in the video the audio plays but the screen stays black!
    What I happening here?
    Someone any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello there,
    Have you inserted multi slide synchronized video or event video?
    and which format of video have you inserted?
    Please tell the complete version of Captivate 6 (help> about captivate) and which version of iOS is it?
    You can also try improve the slide quality to optimized or 24 bit in the properties of the slide (for every slide).
    Thanks.

  • Issue with HTML5 video not playing

    Hi,
    I've set up a simple HTML5 video test in Dreamweaver CS4.  I pulled the code needed from the W3 schools site:
    http://www.w3schools.com/html5/html5_video.asp
    After making a few adjustments in my code for file path and dimensions, I uploaded the clip and web page it to my server.  Here is the result and I'm having trouble with browsers; in Chrome it plays great; in IE 9, the video is jerky and the toolbar does not have the fullscreen option like in Chrome:
    http://designerandpublisher.com/multimedia/5/video.html
    I also uploaded everything to a second server, one completely different than the one above.  The result is worst - again, the video plays fine in Chrome, but in IE9, the video does not even show up at all.  See below:
    Does anyone know how to resolve this?  Thanks.

    In the end, you should end up with a piece of code that looks something like this:
    <video id="YourID" width="600" height="400" preload="auto" autobuffer autoplay controls>
      <source src="YourVideo.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="h.264, aac"' />
      <source src="YourVideo.webm" type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"' />
      <source src="YourVideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' />
      <object width="600" height="400" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
        data="flowplayer-3.2.7.swf">
        <param name="movie" value="flowplayer-3.2.7.swf" />
        <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
        <param name="flashvars" value='config={"clip": {"url": "YourFullVideoPath.mp4", "autoPlay":false, "autoBuffering":true}}' />
        <p>Download video as <a href="YourVideo.mp4">MP4</a>, <a href="YourVideo.webm">WebM</a>, or <a href="YourVideo.ogv">Ogg</a>.</p>
      </object>
    </video>
    This has all 3 video formats and a Flash fallback that plays the mp4.
    I use http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/ to convert to all the formats required, which I just realised Jon has already mentioned. It's a very easy converter.

  • Captivate 6 HTML 5 issue with scalable HTML5

    Hi,
    I am using Captivate 6, I have a very small project of only about 10 slides but when I publish this to 'scalable HTML content' all the shapes dissapear, and certain slides don't work at all.
    However, when I take off 'scalable HTML5 content' it works fine. My issue is, because this will be used on different tablets of all sizes its hard to chose the 'apple ipad' size of project when some people have android tablets because then it does not fit on the screen!!
    Is there anything I can do to make sure it does work for all tablet sizes as the 'scalable' content is not working at all!!!
    Thanks!

    Hi Hannah,
    Great to hear that it is working! I have seen these bizzare issues with Captivate and that was the only reason I suggested a copy paste at first. The only thing could be the corruption of the project.
    I am glad that its resolved.
    Thanks!

  • Issue with TOC overlaying MP4 embedded video in Firefox (Captivate 7 HTML5 output)

    Only in Firefox, I am coming across an issue when I have a video embedded on a slide, the overlaying Table of Contents displays but is not clickable. This is both when the video is paused and playing. The TOC comes over the embedded video area on the slide. I have considered it is possibly a z-index issue with Firefox, but really need a workaround.

  • Issues with using relative links in Captivate 8

    Is anyone else having issues with using relative links in Captivate 8?  These links all used to work in the previous version of Captivate. And I could have sworn this was fixed already once in Captivate 8 but it's popping up again for us. Here is the situation... We have courses that are made up of multiple lessons which as separate Captivate files. Within those lessons are buttons to link to external documents (which live in a shared document folder), demonstrations, etc.  We use relative links because we post these to our amazon servers and we also sell them to clients where they can post them on their own web servers or in their LMS.  SO we can't put in full paths for the links or we'd have to change them constantly.  So an example is that the link for a button might be "../Document/nameofdoc.pdf"  This would be going to a user guide or something that is posted in the "Document" folder that lives at the same level as the lesson's folder. But now, all of the sudden, none of our bazillion links is working. And I've tried buttons, hyperlinks, and even the old click box. Nothing works with relative links. And I did check the permissions on every file and folder on our Amazon server to verify nothing changed there as well.   Any suggestions?

    I have the same issue with relative links using Captivate 8.  I am trying to load Captivate modules into an LMS using relative links to document files within the LMS.  The links work fine during a site page test so not an issue in the LMS, but from the Captivate module they aren't working....
    Help?

  • Issue with using Adobe Captivate Review 2.0 software

    I have a file that is about 102Meg  published that I am sending out for review.  I am posting it to location that everyone has access to on our network.  The issue I am having is kind of odd.  If you install the Captivate Review software on a new machine you can review the .crev file add comments and save just fine.  If you close the programm you can not get the software to open the file again.  If you go to a different machine and install the software you can review the file again.  We are running 32bit Windows XP with duo cpu @ 2.66Ghz and 4 Gigs of Ram on our engineering computers. If we publish a small file size it does not seem to be an issus.  Has anyone else run into this issue?  

    No, but I would really appreciate it if you could report this to the Adobe Captivate team using the web address I have included below.

  • Are there any compatibility issues with Captivate and OS X Yosemite?

    Has anyone noted any compatibility issues with Captivate and Yosemite?

    I had the same issue. Updating resolved this as well.
    I tested with Captivate 7 and almost everything seemed to work fine. I tested with an existing project file containing TEB's, Motion recording, a third party drag 'n drop widget, and a playbar with a TOC. This all seemed to work fine both in preview mode as after publishing. I also tested with Captivate 6 although I didn't publish anything. Here, everything seemed to work fine as well. However this was only SWF.
    As jpm226 described for 8, previewing HTML5 doesn't seem to work with Captivate 6 and 7 either. Chrome gives a "This webpage is not available" notification. Publishing however, does seems to work.
    Fortunately, the client we work for that asks us to use Captivate 7, also asks for SWF output. So I'll continue to use Yosemite for now.

  • Captivate 7 - Bookmarking issues with Cornerstone LMS on IPAD

    Hello,
    I am looking for some assistance with Captivate 7 (currently using version 7.0.0.118) with the Cornerstone LMS and bookmarking when using an IPAD.  We have no issues with content launching, bookmarking, and sending completions on Windows based opeating systems, but on IPAD's, with the latest version of the IPAD OS and Safari, we have no issues with launching the content and it will send back a completion, but the content will not bookmark.
    Cornerstone is stating that the Safari browser on the iPad is not properly implementing the onbeforeunload trigger, which is primarily used in courses to force a save of the course data. This event is not triggered within the iPad version of Safari, preventing courses from saving themselves when the course is closed.  We currently have our customers closing the web browser in order to exit the course on the IPAD.  We are not experiencing this issue with the HTML5 courses that were exported with Captivate 6.
    Thank you,
    Karl

    Clare,
    If you want a continuous movie (since it is simply a demo) you can use the HD Video Demo. But editing and synchronizing will be much more a pain.
    Captivate's power is just in the creation of those static slides, but I would never record narration at the same time. I create the VO after having created the simulation, that is much easier just because the slides are static. I have been choosing Captivate just for that reason, but of course it is up to you. Want to have just demo: use HD Video Demo or choose Camtasia. But you'll never have the interactivity power that has Captivate. For trainees and students, interactive simulations are much more engaging, but that is your choice. And even a 200 slides movie has only 6000 frames, and will have a much smaller filesize than a video that explains the same.

  • Issue with Powerpoint in Captivate

    I am creating a training project and am having an issue with powerpoint. When I select to update the slide with powerpoint in Captivate the changes I make and save do not appear on the slide. Just today I went into the slide I wanted to update and changed the slide timing from 1 to 2 seconds on all 5 bullet points.  When I saved my changes, sync'd the updated powerpoint with the project and viewed only the first 3 bullet points appeared. I checked the slide display time to see if that was the issue. I am a beginner user and can't seem to figure out the issue when updating powerpoint slides.

    @megain.jonas
    I'm using Captivate 6, Your suggestion does work, but it's a nasty work-around and quite time consuming.  HOWEVER, it works and I am greatful for a solution . If the text box contains bulleted text only, Captivate retains the format from PowerPoint.
    So, if you need a work-around, create two text boxes - 1 for the non-bulleted text and a 2nd for the bulleted text.  I'm not sure why Captivate has issues with this , it's annoying, but at least I can get it to work.
    Anyone else have information on this issue and other effective work arounds?

  • Issues with Library images updating in Captivate

    Getting some update issues with the Library. This used to
    work, but is now working only intermittently.
    I will locate a background slide in the library, then hit
    CTRL+U to open it in Photoshop. I'll make my edits in Photoshop,
    then save and close the Window in Pshop. This used to bring me back
    into Captivate, and I would see the correct image in the main
    editing screen. However, now when I come back into Captivate, the
    main editing screen will not show the edits, nor will the thumbnail
    on the left side. If I pres CTRL+U to open the image back in
    Photoshop, Photoshop shows the new edits, but not Captivate's
    design mode. The images DO show up when I finally publish, but I
    can't publish every time I need to check to see whether the edit
    made it over. Also, if I select the image in the Library and click
    the Update button, I get an "image cannot be updated" error
    message.
    What was a very nice feature is now causing mucho frustration
    because it isn't working consistently.
    Any thoughts? I've supposedly updated to patch 3.2, though
    Captivate is only showing 3.0.1.589.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Mark
    ...but the thing that really bugs me is that this a workaround
    for functionality that is supposed to work.
    I agree completely. Unfortunately, last time I checked,
    Captivate was software. And well, you know. Sometimes things don't
    work expected with software so we find workarounds to overcome what
    fails.
    At this point the best course of action is to use the
    workaround since the other method is failing. Then be certain to
    report the issue to Adobe via their official preferred channel.
    That is the Wish Form.

  • Issues with Executing Javascript command in Captivate

    Hi,
    I am having issues with executing javascript for a button in adobe captivate 5.  Let me explain what I am trying to do.  I am working on a WBT that has three skill checks throught the course. These skill checks are not graded or tracked for completion.  I currently have an image button that has the command "Open another project" The first image button is pointed to SkillCheck1 and I have the html file and swf file in the published root folder.  This currently works fine.
    However I want to use javascript to open a new window 800X600 with not toolbars at the top.  I got this part working with the code below:
    window.open('http://www.adobe.com','mywin',
    'left=40,top=40,width=800,height=600,toolbar=1,resizable=0');
    My only problem is, once the popup opens, my WBT goes to a page that says [object] and thats it.  I am uploading two images to show what I have.  Can someone help resolve my issue of the WBT going to

    Ok so I took this link and viewed over it.  I am new to Javascript and know very little about it.  Therefore this script kind of makes no sense to me.
    <script language="JavaScript"><!--
    var windowHandle = '';
    function myOpen(url,name,attributes) {
        windowHandle = window.open(url,name,attributes);
    //--></script>
    <a href="javascript:myOpen('page.htm','windowName','height=100,width=100')">text link</a>
    I chose the option to exectute javascript.  Does captivate need all of this including <script language=JavaScript">  Here is how I edited the script.  Should I make any changes to what is in bold?
    var windowHandle = ''; 
    function myOpen(url,name,attributes) {
        windowHandle = window.open(url,name,attributes);
    <a href="javascript:myOpen('http://www.adobe.com','Adobe Website','height=600,width=800')">text link</a>

  • Captivate 5 - issue with editing imported PowerPoints that have been resized

    I'm having an issue with editing PowerPoint files that have been imported into Captivate 5 when they have been resized within the Captivate project after the initial import.
    1. I import a PowerPoint presentation into 800x600 dimension.
    2. I resize the project to 900x600 by not locking the aspect ratio and selecting to position to the top right so there is a 100 pixel strip to the left of the slide that we use for navigation buttons and other info.
    3. If I need to make a change to a PowerPoint, I select Edit > Edit with Microsoft PowerPoint > Edit Slide (or Edit Presentation).
    4. The slide opens in PowerPoint and I make the changes and click Save.
    5. When the slide is imported back into Captivate, it is stretched and resized to not fit either 800x600 or 900x600, but something in between. This did not happen in Captivate 4 - the slide would retain the 800x600 dimension slid over to the right with no issues.
    Are there any settings that can be done to ensure the edited slides will import back into the project with the correctly sized dimensions for the current project?

    Hi there
    I agree that it would be nice to see a notification. You know, Captivate offers a special area for notifications that appear when you open it. I'm stymied as to why Adobe doesn't use this area for making such announcements.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Captivate 5.5 issue with finding external files

    I have a project where I am trying to have a swf open another document (pdf, ppt, etc.).  What I am having an issue with is Captivate does not see the files if they are not in the same directory as the swf.  I have tried multiple options.  I can not have a drive letter involved as this is a mobile file which will be run off of a USB drive.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi there
    I'm not sure what you are experiencing here. How exactly have you tried to path your links? If you know the "HTML Shorthand" of accessing files it should not be a problem. Captivate won't need to "see" the files. Certainly plopping all the files together is the simplest (and most often recommended) way of working, but as long as you know how to use what we call "Relative Addressing", things should work fine.
    So if you want a structure like this:
    Captivate SWF Folder
    ** SomeSWF.SWF
    ** SomeSWF.HTM
    ** Standard.JS
    And maybe you want a folder named PDFS that would make the structure look like this:
    Captivate SWF Folder
    ** SomeSWF.SWF
    ** SomeSWF.HTM
    ** Standard.JS
    ** PDFs
    **** SomePDF.PDF
    The link inside Captivate would simply look like this:
    PDFS/SomePDF.PDF
    Or maybe you have a folder named PDFS that you want at the same level as the Captivate SWF Folder so the structure looks like this:
    Captivate SWF Folder
    ** SomeSWF.SWF
    ** SomeSWF.HTM
    ** Standard.JS
    PDFs
    ** SomePDF.PDF
    In that case the link inside Captivate would look like this:
    ../PDFS/SomePDF.PDF
    Also, if you are testing on your local C drive, the links may not work because you need to asjust your Flash Player Global Security Settings and add the output folder as a trusted location.
    Steps for doing that are at the link below:
