Multiple VOs triggered simultaneously in published cp4 project

I'm sure there's a thread or two already out here about this; if so, can someone plz steer me?
I've published a "daisy-chain" model project in Captivate 4... meaning I've broken a course into chapter "projects" and some of the larger chapters into sub-projects. Each project has an "end" slide. I can use this to add content to a sub-topic later if necessary, but each of them is currently set at 0.1 sec duration, and all just use the "on slide exit" command to open the next project in the series.
Each slide contains a swf animation, complete with VOs already embedded, inserted into a frameset, and a loop of background music runs under all the slides in that project. All animations are externalized.
Here's the issue: when I publish and launch the course in my LMS, the first slide of a project will randomly play the VO file for that slide, plus a duplicate of it, delayed slightly, or it will play the VO file for another slide further into the project, say slide 4 or 5. Since all the VOS are embedded into swfs, I assume that the entire unwanted swf is actually being triggered and is running in the background somehow.
I built a pause function, and so I can stop the audio of the "wanted" slide, and let the "unwanted" VO run its course. Then if I restart the slide (which is what my "un-pause" does), and the slide plays fine.
Is there a parameter setting that would keep multiple swfs from being triggered?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Softwater.
It is working great for me. I have expanded on this a little as well. I now have a login for my developer account where I do all my Apple development work. I even created one for my "games". Im just wondering what the limit is for the number of accounts that can be created in Lion.

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.

Display runtime in published CP4 project

Hi all,
I've seen a couple questions about this but no solutions - at least none I could find.
Using CP4.
A client would like to see the runtime of the finished project at the bottom as the movie plays. I'm fairly confident there's no CP4 setting to make this happen, and I've checked the system variables with no luck.
Anybody know of a widget or other way to make this happen?
Thanks!
Ideally, the Playback Control settings would allow for this. By default, the playbar shows "slide" numbers - it would be great if we had the option for this to show runtime instead. Obviously, this is an enhancement request and not for the forum.... just typing my thoughts.

Hi there
If you are using a Table of Contents the duration is presented there.
Cheers... Rick

Import multiple Articulate Engage interactions to a single CP4 project

Hi
This question is about importing Articulate Engage interactions into a CP4 project. I have searched the forum and can't find a specific answer to this. Any feedback would be really helpful.
-> I already know how to import 1 single Engage interaction into CP4, insert as an animation onto a slide, and have it play perfectly in published SWF output.
My issue is: How do have multiple Engage interactions in the one CP4 project, when Engage always gives the published Engage interaction and all its supporting files/folders the same file name (I.e. "engage.swf" file and "engage_content folder"?
If, for eg I want ot have 3 Engage interactions in the CP4 project, is it ok to just rename each published Engage interaction differently, prior to inserting the interaction as an animation to the CP4 slide?
Does anyone know if this will work, or if there is another solution?
Thanks in advance!

Http 1.1 is not supported. You could implement that yourself...
try to move the openconnection into the while loop. that should work

Images in Engage Interaction inserted into CP4 project not displaying....

Hi all
If ANYONE has an idea on this one, please let me know. I've already spent days trying to fix this issue with no result!!
I have a CP4 project, in which I am inserting an Articulate Engage interaction (interaction type = Process). Within the Process interaction, I have images. I have trawled forums and found out there is a recommended max image size (200 px x 310 px) and image type (jpeg or png) and I have also discovered that Process interactions prefer that images be aligned to either the left or the right, and not top or bottom. Done all that.
I also already know how to insert Articulate Engage interactions into CP4 projects - done that many times before. It's fiddly, but once you know how to do it, it's ok.
My problem is that when the CP4 project is published, the CP project plays perfectly, the Engage interaction displays as it should, each part of the Process interaction is visible and active, BUT THE IMAGES WON'T DISPLAY.
When I publish the Engage interaction (prior to inserting the engage.swf into CP4 as an animation) it plays perfectly, and the images display. When I view all the associated folders with the published Engage interaction, the images I've inserted are all there.
I cannot for the life of me work out what is going on. I have even re-created the Engage interaction from scratch, thinking it might have been corrupted somehow.
DON'T know what to try next.
Does anyone have any ideas????

in between the browser and viewer panes is a little search box ... click in it to change ... or if there is an 'x' in click it ... somehow you set a filter on that project ...

Is it possible to publish a project with a different resolution than the native project resolution?

I think I know what the answer is going to be here, but I'm going to ask anyway. The background here is that I've made a few demo videos for new products and features my company is working on. I'm using CP4 for this. Our marketing department wants to take AVIs of my demos and insert them into their Powerpoint demonstrations. However, the native resolution of our demos doesn't make for a graceful import into Powerpoint. Thus, I've been directed to provide smaller res AVI files.
Thus, I am wondering if you can publish a project at a different resolution than the one in which it was recorded. My initial poking around seems to indicate that the answer is "no," and if this is truly the case, I will be rumbling over to the "Suggest a Feature" forum soon. There does seem to be a kind-of-workaround in that you can change the resolution of the project before publishing it, but this is something that cannot be undone, meaning that in order to do this, I will have to save new, smaller versions of all my projects. This is a bit ungainly.
So, if anyone knows a good trick here, I would love to hear it!

Unfortunately, I don't know what you mean when you say "manual panning." And I'm really not sure what you mean when you say the fields are not fully visible in the original image; they are completely visible. Here's a close-up from the original slide:
As you can see, the fields are completely visible.
Also, the slide is not entirely static. For the slide I chose as an example, the Password is filled in before the mouse moves. This typing may be part of what is getting Captivate confused; note this sequence from the resized version of the project:
Slide 35:
The login window first appears. Everything is normal. During this slide, the mouse moves and clicks inside the User ID field, leading to...
Slide 36:
At this point, things begin to go awry. The user name is entered, and the cursor moves to the Password field.
Slide 37:
Whoops! As soon as we click Login, everything goes back to normal.
Slide 38:
I will try a few of the suggestions you offered, and will report back with the results.

Can I publish a project onto SharePoint?

I Am new to Captivate and have put together a project in Captivate 8 but now I need to publish that project I'm stuck. It's an e-learning course that I need others to have access to. My company uses SharePoint and want me to host it there but I'm not sure how to do this!!
Please help

The issue is due to the way Sharepoint loads files for playback. When you run Captivate content there are multiple files that need to be called and all run at the same time in order for the content to work. For SWF content might only be four or five such files that need to be called. For HTML5 content there are hundreds.
When you call a file in Sharepoint it actually makes a copy of the called file and delivers that copy to you from a temporary folder location. This is not a problem when all you're doing is calling a single file such as a Word document, PPT deck, or a video file. However, when you need to call several files at the same time because one file needs access to code that is held in other files, THEN Sharepoint is a bad idea because its method of delivering files tends to break the linkages between these files.
A normal web server doesn't have this issue.

Error when publishing BPM project to MDS

Hello everyone,
I get this error when I try to publish a BPM project to MDS : Error while publishing BPM project to MDS: 'BPM-70800: An I/O error occurred'
I use SOA/BPM 11g version 11.1.1.4.
Thank in advance for your answer

Hello Ajaz,
BPM-70801 is a very generic error that can have multiple causes. Please provide the error log from servers log file. From what I understand, you are using a separate soa_server1, so watch out /your_domain/servers/soa_server1/logs/soa_server1.log

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

Publishing WebHelp_Pro Projects

I am looking for some help viz publishing WebHelp_Pro
projects to RoboEngine.NET.
As far as I can make out, it is only possible to publish
multiple WebHelp_Pro projects as merged projects that share the
same table of contents. However, I would really like to publish my
projects so that they each retain their separate table of contents.
This would allow me to give customers a separate web address for
the Help for each product. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks,
Alan

Hi Alan and welcome to our community
I'm not sure about the .NET version of RoboEngine, but I
think that the regular RoboEngine has a Configuration
manager icon that you can use to configure settings for RoboEngine.
IIRC, one of these settings controls the ability to merge the
projects.
Hope this helps a little... Rick

How to use one af:query for multiple VOs

Hi all,
How can we use an af:query component to query on multiple VOs?
Think of a page with search area and a tabbed pannel with two tables based on different view objects.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Edited by: Barbara Gelabert on 28-dic-2010 6:55

Hi Santosh,
Not yet implemented, but I was thinking on overriding the query listener and creating a view critera on the second view object as a copy of the first one. That involves capturing operands, operators and values set and then applying the criteria and executing the query.
Anyway, in case you don't need complex operators in the search area but can add them as where clauses to the query statement, you can use search forms instead of query components as Shay Shmeltzer suggests in [url http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2010/12/combining_multiple_queries_and.html?goback=.gde_1002457_news_308820955]his post.

How do I create a project site after I publish a project in Project Server 2013?

How do I create a project site after I publish a project from project pro 2013 in Project Server 2013? I'm trying to look for an option in the ribbon but haven't found any.
Thanks
James T.F

Hi James,
See in the article the procedure for site provisionning settings.
Note that the project site is created based on the template associated to the chosen project type (EPT) when the user first publishes his project. Be aware that if you allow the user to choose weither or not he'll create a sharepoint site when publishing
his project, he will be prompted in Project Pro with a dialog box giving the choice to create or not the site.
Hope this helps,

How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

When publishing an Adobe Captivate 3 project, the embedded flv file does not play.
How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

I am not really sure, if I understand you right. But try this:
Don’t place a picture, but draw a box and use the "Fill" command to put a picture into it.
(Don’t click onto the color swatch, but onto the blue link "Fill".)
In this case responsivness should work.

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.

After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?
