Losing close/exit usability when I publish a project

I am having an issue when I publish a project.
The close/exit button on the playback control panel doesn't work when I publish the project. It works fine in all the test modes. All the other buttons I am using Play/pause, CC and Mute all work when I publish.
Can someone please offer some advice.
Cheers

  • External Variable Null Pointer Exception when I publish two projects

    I have the following external variables exception thrown when I publish two projects alongside each other. These projects share the majority of there 50 odd project variables. (I know that this is a bit excessive but the customer wants to be able to search under this many variables). I have checked and found that there are not any differences in the variables across the two projects.
    This exception is brought up when the second of the projects is published, no matter which way around they are published. In two incidences, out of about 30, I have managed to deploy this code without this problem occuring.
    I am using ALBPM Studio Version: 6.0.5 Build: #97234 and ALBPM Enterprise Version: 6.0.5 Build: #97234. I am deploying these to a Sun Solaris 10 environment with an Oracle 10G database.
    I would be very grateful for some assistance with this problem.

    Hi Simon,
    If I were you, I would try installing the latest hotfix. There were some important fixes (such as #8715504) related to variable mappings.
    May be it is a good idea to undeploy that project and deploy it again once the HF is installed.
    Hope this helps,
    Ariel
    PS: Remember to regenerate and reinstall all the EARs once the HF is installed.

  • When I publish a project I get a white screen first with an arrow in the middle

    I publish a project in either Captivate 6 or Captivate 7 and instead of the first slide coming up when you go to it, it has a big white screen with an arrow in the middle.
    When you click the arrow -- it goes away and the first slide starts.
    How do I get rid of the white screen first.
    Is there a way to set up a title screen?

    Well, that's the extent of my knowledge with Autoplay, I'm afraid. But some more details might help others be able to answer better:
    Are you publishing as SWF or HTML5?
    Do you experience this when previewing the project? When viewing it locally? When viewing on a server? Running the SWF file alone, or running the SWF file using its html file? On a particular device? All of the above?
    Is this a problem with particular projects, or does it happen when you create a new project?
    What specific versions of 6 and 7 are you publishing from?
    There's also this thread which might be worth a look if you're experiencing the problems with HTML5: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1148299

  • VIDEO CUTS WHEN I PUBLISHED ON THE WEB

    Hi all,
    My name is Dario. I am working in one society for worker's formation.
    I often use Captivate CS 6.
    I have one problem, when I upload one video (video lesson) in Captivate and export a SCORM document, the video published in the web, cut last second.
    I don't understand.
    In my project a slide's duration is same at video's duration.
    Could somebody help me?
    Thanks

    Hello Dario,
    When you inserted the video, did you insert the event video or Multi Slide Synchronized Video, or is it a Video recording done in Captivate?
    Do you face this issue when you publish your Project and see that locally?
    Make sure that there is no effect applied onto that video like Fade out only in the Properties of that Video.
    and also check from edit>Preferences> Project> start and end> fade out should not be checked.
    Thanks.

  • Export PDF in Captivate 5 and Publishing CP4 project in CP5

    When I publish flash (swf) videos in CP4, I always tick the "Export PDF" option to also get the PDF version - and then offer the PDFs for download as an alternative to watching online (or send them via e-mail).
    I have learned to live with the fact that the PDF version  - sadly - becomes somewhat blurred. But now, as I am trial testing CP5, I see that besides blurring, the video in PDF gets also distorted - if this is a good word for it: As the software screens change in the video (I record software demonstrations), the new screens show some left over graphics (mainly lines or points - as if remnants of borders of objects, lines, shadows, etc.) from the previous screen.
    The similar thing happens when I publish CP4 projects with CP5 (which I want to do as the Neospeech voices sound much better in CP5) - I see the same leftover graphics, mainly in the full-motion segments.
    Any suggestions on avoiding these issues?

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    For this purpose you need Acrobat Pro, could you let me know if you have this app? It is coming with the eLearning suite. To export a Captivate file to pdf you do not need it.

  • Video not displaying correctly in published presenter project

    So I created a presenter project that is basically a series of video clips.  I went in and replaced one of the video clips, and when I republished, all of the sudden the video was cropped weirdly and filled up one corner of the screen instead of the entire section.  Any ideas on why this is happening?  In the powerpoint view, the video should cover the entire slide, it's just when I publish it for playback that this problem appears. 

    when you publish a project, other files that you did place manual in the folder ( like video files), don't get inside the published files, you have to copy the video from the source files to the published files

  • Publishing a project with Quiz slides in it

    I am using Captivate 2. My project contains 6 quiz slides at
    the end of the project. When I publish this project, and then view
    the output, the whole project goes straight from slide 1 to the
    last slide!!! If I remove the quiz slides and then publish, things
    work fine. Has anyone faced this problem? Why am I unable to
    publish and view projects with Quiz slides in it? I publish my
    projects in the Exe mode.

    Hi dev_trainer and welcome to our community
    This issue seems to have a familiar ring to it. Echoes from a
    year or more back. I'm thinking that you may need to think about
    upgrading the version of the Flash player used to present your
    Captivate. First, check to see which version is installed. That's
    easy enough to do. Just right-click the Captivate as it is playing
    and check the version. Then try visiting the Adobe site and
    upgrading. See if that solves the issue.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Publish a Project

    I am fairly new to using Captivate and have a question
    regarding the Skin. When I publish my project I get mulitple files
    in a folder including the actual demo/training, full motion files
    and the skin file. I am setting up an e-learning site and when I
    import the actual demo file, it will play without issue, but the
    problem is the controls to pause, rewind, go back, etc are not
    displayed.
    My question is, do I need to merge the skin file with the
    demo, upload both, or something completely different? Any help on
    this subject would be appreciated.
    Thanks - Joel

    Hello again
    Captivate output is a bit like a house of cards. I'm not sure
    we know which version you are using so I'll use Captivate 3 to
    illustrate.
    With Captivate 3 you normally end up with multiple files if
    you are Publishing to SWF format. I'll assume you named the project
    MainMovie. In this case, you may end up with the following files in
    the folder.
    * MainMovie.SWF
    * MainMovie_skin.SWF
    * MainMovie.HTM
    * standard.js
    You may also see a couple of other files.
    * breeze-manifest.xml
    * MainMovie_BDMetadata.xml
    The two files above would be created if you had the option
    for publishing Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro Metadata enabled.
    You may also see some full motion files and possibly other
    SWF files if you used a few animations.
    Essentially, you want to take ALL the output files and place
    them on your server. You then point at the HTM file.
    HTM file loads and seeks the standard.js file. If it's not
    there, things just stop dead in their tracks. Assuming the
    standard.js is found, the MainMovie_skin.SWF loads up. The skin
    file then loads the MainMovie.SWF file. As the movie plays, any
    other SWF files are loaded when they are needed.
    Hopefully that helps better explain it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • IPad 3 with iOS 7: Any way to close/exit all apps with one action?

    While there are some things that I like about iOS 7, there is one long term gripe that I have that's been made worse by iOS 7.  I have an iPad 3, and usually close (exit) all the apps that I've used that day at the end of the day, then put the iPad on the charger for the night.  I'm really tired of having to fling all the apps off the screen to close them...being able to do this with 2 or 3 apps at a time is really not helpful, either *smile*.
    Is there any way that I can just close all the open apps with one gesture or action?  This would be so nice, flinging apps off the screen is not an improvement for me over the previous method of tapping on X's, what would be an improvement would be to not have to do that to close all the open apps.  Flinging isn't bad for one or two apps, but for 10 or 15, no, I can't say that it isn't really boring and annoying.  Even Android has an option to "close all", good grief.
    Thanks for any help with this.

    Most apps close automatically when you press the home button and move to the next app. Apps only need swipe closing if they are misbehaving or you purposefully left them open. The most notable exception being the music apps which because of their ability to play in the background always closing. In short if you're worried about saving time by swiping apps there's no need to swipe any.

  • I Close Firefox. When I go back to reopen firefox. I am told it is already running, although there is nothing on my screen??

    I Close Firefox. When I go back to reopen firefox. I am told it is already running, although there is nothing on my screen. I have to goto the task manager, to find firefox and shut down the process, in order to open the browser. ? a bit of a pain in the grapes, any suggestions?

    Does it also happen if you wait a bit longer (1 or 2 minutes) before reopening Firefox?
    Do you see hanging Firefox processes in the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) ?
    See "Hang at exit":

  • Force exit form when I am in query mode.

    I have created one button just launch Exit_Form built_in. Ok my forms exit, but when I stay in query mode, I need to click at button twice, first to abort query, the second time to exit form. How can I configure that to close my form automatically?
    I have tried Abort_Query folling Exit_Form, but does not work as well.
    Thanks all.

    In the trigger that contains the EXIT_FORM check for if you are in ENTER_QUERY mode. If you are issue two EXIT_FORM otherwise one.

  • LMS Window Close (exit button...again)

    Yes, I know this is a freq. encountered issue. I thought I had fixed this but apparently that was just wishful thinking.
    If I publish my project with the full screen option, the lesson is opened as a child window and the playbar exit button works as advertised; the window closes.
    If I enable LMS reporting and perform the same steps, the playbar exit button does not work.
    What's up with that? What is it about the published SCORM version that disables the exit button?

    Here is what I did to get the exit button in the playback bar to close the content window in our LMS. I did not want to have a seperate button object.
    Your mileage may vary. I may be violating some SCORM rules but too bad. The trace shows the terminate is clean, as the code runs upon the unload of the content window. I do not have a quiz in my SCO/SWF.
    File locations are as they appear on my laptop. I am using ActionScript 3 in Captivate 5 on Windows XP.
    Backup app source files if you are skeered of breaking them.
    1. Edit the playback FLA for the skin you are using. Mine is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\Templates\PlaybackFLA\AS3\SpaceBlue.fla.
    Edit the action code for pbcBtnExit. Add two lines in red:
    var btnTipsId = 8;
    function onClicked()
    import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
    ExternalInterface.call("closeWindow");
    parent.onPBCBtnClick("exit");
    2. Save and publish the playback FLA to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\en_US\Gallery\Playbars\AS3.
    3. To include tweaked code every time you publish for SCORM, edit the HTML source code. The folder is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\Templates\Publish\SCORM\2004, as I choose SCORM 2004 in the Captivate reporting preferences.
    The file can be Custom.htm,Default.htm or SendTrackingDataAtEnd.htm, depending on what you select as the Template in the reporting preferences of Captivate.
    Add this script in the header:
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
      function closeWindow (message){
      window.top.close(self);}
    </SCRIPT>
    You may have to play around with the javascript to find the right opion that works in your situation.
    Save.
    4. Publish the Captivate project. Exit button now works for me.
    There may be an easier way to get the Exit button to do this but I did not see it. I submitted an enhancement request to Adobe suggesting that the Exit button should be programmable to some extent.

  • Close Button only works with Publish Independent

    Hi,
    I've any problem, Close/Exit Button (close the active window)
    only works in a project publish as independent? Why not function in
    a publish as swf (flash)?
    Thanks

    Hi Esch and welcome to our community, Roma
    To Esch: I believe Roma is referring to the Exit button found
    on the Captivate playback controls.
    To Roma: If you perform a search of the Captivate forums for
    "Close window", you will probably find gobs of posts with similar
    issues. And if you were to perform a similar search using Google,
    you would see that these issues aren't exactly Captivate related.
    They are browser related. The bottom line is that the Close window
    functionality doesn't simply work consistently across the board.
    Different browsers treat it differently.
    Cheers... Rick
