Load swf directly into Captivate 5.5?

Hello,
How can I load swf files directly into Captivate 5.5 during runtime?
I do not wish to have one single large Captivate file. Rather, I wish to create multiple small swf files and load them into Captivate as needed.
I do this all the time in Flash, however,is this possible to load external swf into Captivate?
Thank You
iaustin

You can select the option to externalise resources such as animations and widgets (both SWF files) in Project Preferences.

Bringing Flash .swf files into Captivate

Greetings,
I use Captivate 2.0. I have been trying to bring a Flash .swf
file into Captivate with very little success. The flash file is
clickable (so that users can review case study information as they
complete Try It simulations). When I bring the Flash .swf file into
Captivate, it works. However, correction (or failure messages)
display every time the user clicks the Flash .swf file. Is there
anything that I can do within Captivate to stop this issue?
Ideally, I would like the Flash .swf to run on top of the Captivate
file so that users can view the case study details without having
to see the failure messages.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this. I
hope it makes sense to you.

Hi Zabcde (or PMW or P?)
Can I just understand (sorry for being thick) your situation.
You're trying to get a flash movie into a captivate session that
the user can work on, see, interact with whilst they're also going
through a Captivate simulation (try it)? Does that mean that slides
are advancing for the simulation whilst you're watching the flash
movie? Or are they watching the Flash movie as a kind of help to
then go and do the Try It session?
If it's the first, then I would suggest calling the Flash swf
and the Captivate swf as seperate instances in flash (using
loadmovienum or something). If it's the second, you should be able
to remove the failure captions from that slide so they don't bug
you.
Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick though
Cheers

How to load metadata directly into essbase 9.3 ?

Hi all,
When I load metadata directly into essbase with IKM SQL to Hyperion Essbase (METADATA).
My metadata is already on Microsoft SQL 2000. After execute an interface that load metadata to essbase and check in the essbase outline , It seem that outline data could not retrieve correctly.And still have many rejected records.
My question is :
Can I use the same rule file that used for load a metadata from text file?
Because in this case I use the same rule file that load metadata from text file.
Let me know if need more information on this.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
You can use the same rules file, make sure in the IKM options you have the same rules seperator as in your rules file.
You can also turn on error logging and logging in the IKM options so you should get more information to why the metaload is failing

Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Win32 function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.

Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory from a VI? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Call Library function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.
The data is being received at 1Mbps.
Thanks

Two questions:
One, if it's a serial card, then presumably it gives you more serial ports, like COM3, COM4, etc. If so, VISA would see the COM ports, and not the card directly. The drivers for the card should make it so that you see the extra serial ports from the OS. If you don't see the extra COM ports from VISA, then it sounds like the drivers for the card are not installed properly. Do the extra COM ports show up in Device Manager?
Two, you said that you're using a Call Library function to get the data and you want to put it into system memory. Errr.... you just read the data and you have it in memory by definition. Are you saying you need a way to parse the data so it shows up on a graph or something?

Load dynamic text into Captivate form external file

Is it possible to load dynamic text into a Captivate file from an external file like an XML using Javascript.
I see there's a way to get it form the query scring of the URL ( http://captivatedev.com/2011/05/01/how-to-jump-to-a-specific-slide-in-a-separate-course/ ), but I have a project where I want several pieces of text to be replaced and we want to be able to edit it externally from the Captivate file.
Thanks!

Hi Ned,
What I'm doing is using a yahoo map to load addresses and
place custom swf files as the placemarkers. The main stage has an
instance of myMap, which is the map that yahoo sets us to display
the ACTUAL map. They have also provided coding for placing markers
on the map, which is what I'm using.
I have the addresses throughout multiple xml files, which I
am actually loading through 1 single xml file. These addresses are
being stored in an array, then called by the AS below to place
markers. All the markers are placed correctly, however, I am trying
to have them actually say the address - this is where the problem
lies.
The marker that is being located and placed has a text field
called load_text in it. I want that field to load the same address
that is being used to place it (from the array addressA).
I'm very confused because every loop through the * for (i=0;
i<addressA.length; i++) * loop the marker is placed at the
correct addressA
location, but I cannot actually get the address to load into the
load_txt field in the marker. I can even run a trace during that
loop and it traces addressA for each address, but I can't seem
to actually load those values into the load_txt box.
Do you have any ideas?

Can i load data directly into DSO without PSA?

hi friends,
can i load data into DSO directly without PSA(without infopackage), if possible ple let me know where can i do that in dtp?
regards
ss

Suneel,
Why don't you try it to see if error DTP is possible with a flat file ds or not?
Or, extrapolate logically -
- An error DTP is based on a regular DTP.
- In any situation where you can have a DTP, why can you not have an error DTP? I would think there would be no reason for this.
At this point of my reasoning I will give it a try to validate if my assumption (DTP possible==>Error DTP possible) is correct or not.
regards,

Is there any way to import an htm or swf file into Captivate

I have a huge problem. I created a class in Captivate and
published to a server. The .cp file was saved locally to my c:drive
(mistake, I know) in the Captivate folders. I went through a move
with my office and my PC was moved. Perhaps coincidentally, after
the move, my original .cp file is gone. I've searched all folders
on my computer, including deleted folders, and it's not there.
However, luckily the published files are still in the shared
directory on the server. Is there anyway to reverse the publishing
process and get my original .cp file back?
Thanks for your help! Patty

Hi Patty
Unfortunately there is no way to decompile a project from
.SWF or .EXE back to a source .CP file. Personally, I've been
campaigning for a decompiler for a long while. But so far it seems
to have fallen on deaf ears. I don't believe we will see any real
effort put forth to have one unless Adobe hears from enough users
asking for it. If you would like to add your voice to those that
would like to see one, please
click
here and complete the form you should find there.
Just as a side note, you were
NOT
making a mistake in storing the project on your C drive!
Actually, the mistake is most often made by keeping the project on
the server.
Where you probably made a mistake is by not placing
a backup copy somewhere. (Even the server is a good place for a
backup)
Best of luck to you in reinventing your wheel. At least you
have the output file to guide you along!
Cheers... Rick

Want to load an xml document directly into an Oracle table

From the Oracle XML Applications book pg: 106/107
there is an example where it inserts into a Oracle table from the xml_documents table. What I would like to do is insert directly from the xml document and was able to but not able to get rid of the inserting into xml_documents section.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insertXmlFile( dir VARCHAR2,
file VARCHAR2,
myTable varchar2,
name VARCHAR2 := NULL) IS
theBFile BFILE;
theCLob CLOB;
theDocName VARCHAR2(200) := NVL(name,file);
BEGIN
-- (1) Insert a new row into xml_documents with an empty CLOB, and
-- (2) Retrieve the empty CLOB into a variable with RETURNING..INTO
INSERT INTO xml_documents(XML_DOCUMENT_NM,XML_DOCUMENT_TX)
VALUES('DELETE ME',empty_clob())
RETURNING XML_DOCUMENT_TX INTO theCLob;
-- (3) Get a BFile handle to the external file
theBFile := BFileName(dir,file);
-- (4) Open the file
dbms_lob.fileOpen(theBFile);
-- (5) Copy the contents of the BFile into the empty CLOB
dbms_lob.loadFromFile(dest_lob => theCLob,
src_lob => theBFile,
amount => dbms_lob.getLength(theBFile));
-- (5a) Insert the rows into the proper table
insProc(theClob, myTable);
-- (6) Close the file and commit
dbms_lob.fileClose(theBFile);
delete from xml_documents
where xml_document_nm = 'DELETE ME';
COMMIT;
END;
execute insertXmlFile ('XMLFILES','emp.xml','emp')

Yes I would like to insert directly from an emp.xml file and load it directly into an emp table and not have to load the document in the xml_documents table and then insert into the emp table like I am doing in this procedure.

How to import multiple files linked to swf into captivate?

Hi all
I am trying to import a flash swf animation into captivate 5.5. I figured it should be straight forward by going Insert > Animation, but the animation doesn't do what it is meant to. I think this is because the swf file is associated with a number of images, audios and an xml file. I thought if I got all the files into the Captivate library it might work, but I've only been able to import the images and audio not the xml file (Import > XML tells me Captivate can't import xml). I'm not sure what to do to get the animation playing.
Any responses appreciated.
Thanks Peter

Hi Peter,
Importing an animation that has certain required files like graphics and aurido and XMl scattered would not work if each broght sepeartely to library, what is assumed while you do Insert--Animation is that the animation has all the required components embedded in itself.
seo, you can check of the source file can be modified to produce a single flash file that has all required assets embedded in itself.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Import swf into captivate 5

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
Syed

Welcome 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

Load .swf into .swf with linked .flv

Hi all,
I'm trying to load swf-2 into swf-1, with swf-2 externally
loading an .flv.
When I go straight to swf-2, it works fine. And when I embed
the flv in swf-2, and open swf-1, it works fine.
It's only an issue when swf-2 is pulling the EXTERNAL flv.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Tracy

are the files all in the same directory? if you load a swf 2
in a swf 1, then the code used by swf2 to load the flv file would
be executed as if the code was executed from swf 1 location. is swf
2 and the flv in a different folder from swf 1?

Microphone recommendations for recording into Captivate 4?

Hello. Can you tell me what microphone you use to record directly into Captivate 4 (on Windows XP) that works properly and plays back as it should? I am having audio issues with C4 using a Rode Podcaster. I know it's not the microphone as it works with other applications. I know it is something with C4 and I have tried several workarounds to no avail (such as the one found http://bdld.blogspot.com/2009/03/fixing-sound-in-adobe-captivate.html[L=Link). If you have a microphone you've used with C4 that works, please reply to this post as I would like to see if I will have success with a different mic. Please do not respond here if you have an audio workaround, a .dll fix, or anything else to troubleshoot audio.
Thanks,
Casey

Hi Casey
I use a Microsft LifeChat headset microphone and it seems to work well.
However, I will also toss out a note about something I encountered a few weeks ago in a Captivate class. We were using Intel based Macintosh PCs. Captivate seemed to refuse to record until we first clicked Audio > Settings and specifically yselected the microphone.
Probably won't be that easy in your case but thought I'd mention it. Who knows?

Load SWF Question

In an effort to explain my question as best I can, I will
name the three swf files A, B, and C.
So I have swf A which has an opening call to load swf B into
an empty container inside swf A. This works just fine using:
loadFile("B.swf");
Now, once swf B loads into the container which contains an
"enter site" button, I cant figure out how to load swf C into swf
A's container to replace swf B. Does that make sense? I have
uploaded my struggle so far for you to see...
http://vojodesign.com/proofs/bohemianInd
Thanks in advance

Hmmm, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Here is what I have
currently inside swf A's timeline. Where do I plug in the code you
suggested?
btnEnter.onRollOver = over;
btnEnter.onRollOut = out;
btnEnter.onRelease = function() {
if(current != "bohemianIndHome.swf")
loadFile("bohemianIndHome.swf");
function over():Void {
this.over = true;
this.play();
function out():Void {
this.over = false;
this.play();
}

Indesign Export SWF Import into pdf poor quality

Hello!
I'm designing an interactive pdf portfolio.
I have exported the indesign file as an SWF at 300dpi 100% resoultion.
I have then imported the SWF back into indesign and exported as an PDF (interactive) again 300dpi
When viewed in the html file . Quality is perfect, however when viewed in the PDF quality is awful. No idea whats happening to cause this issue.
I am using CS5.5 / Version 7.5.2 & viewing the PDF in Acrobat X / Version 10.1.7
Can anyone advise?
here is a link to the file: http://samrowe.net/pdfswf.pdf

In you have Acrobat, to eliminate any issue of swf degradation [when placing swf in ID and exporting pdf] you can add mulimedia swf directly into a PDF.
But, even with a successful placement of swf into a PDF, you will have no control of your recipient's successful playback due to versions of Acrobat/Reader, multimedia preferences and security settings.

Loaded SWF file CANNOT be made into button DIRECTLY?

I'm experiencing a problem which may have no solution, but I
would like to know why I cannot do what I want to do.
PROBLEM:
I am attempting to load in an external SWF file and once it
is loaded, I wish to directly make the new Sprite/MovieClip into a
button. However, the newly loaded Sprite/MovieClip seems to be
resistant to be made into a button DIRECTLY. I would like to know
why this is.
WORKAROUNDS:
Here are a couple of workarounds, but again I wish to know
why I cannot do what I want to do.
1) I place the new Sprite/MovieClip into an empty Sprite on
stage and make the once empty sprite into a button.
2) Construct the external SWF in such a way so i can refer to
a MovieClip within the SWF file and make that MovieClip into a
button.
CODE EXAMPLE:
I am loading a SWF file thru a Loader and then taking the
loaded SWF file and adding it to an existing sprite on the stage. I
then attempt to make a button out of the newly loaded swf file, but
it fails to be clickable.
The following is some quick code to illustrate my problem. I
already have workarounds in place, so please let me know WHY the
following code is impossible. thanks!
==============================================================================

There should be no problem with what you are trying to do. If
you want someone to look at what you've done, you have to be
careful to show that and not possibly errant code because that is
the substance of your post and what you requested be looked at--we
cannot guess what you may have done wrong in setting things up or
for code that you do not show.
I tried your code before posting my response and it worked
fine except for your error with the COMPLETE aspect. I did not
utilize any objects for loading things into, so I suggest you look
there.
