No audio in accordion interaction after publishing as HTML5 in Captivate 7

Hi guys,
we have a problem with the accordion interaction in Captivate 7. After publishing it as an HTML5 project the audio (mp3) doesn't play on the accordion interaction slide. The interaction itself looks great and clean, and the audio plays fine in .swf and preview, but it doesn't play when published as HTML5.
Any suggestions? Do you need more info? Let me know.
Thanks so much again,
Nat

Add the file to your Captivate install directory Gallery > Interactions folder.  (Make a backup copy of the original file in case you need it later.)
E.g. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 x64\Gallery\Interactions
Make a note of the name of the interaction. Then open a new Captivate project and from the Insert menu, select Interactions.
Find the interaction in the screen and insert it into the slide.
Then configure the interaction, publish and test.

  • Does anyone know a fix for video being out of sync after publishing to Flash in Captivate 6?

    I'm working in Captivate 6.0.2.325 on Mac OS 10.6.8. My Captivate file is just 10 slides, and 2 of them contain talking-head style video clips 30 - 40 seconds long.
    Everything looks fine in Preview, but when I publish to Flash the video segments appear choppy and the audio is badly out of sync.
    Also, I have one slide where the audio does not play after publishing, though it plays in Preview. It's a widget slide.
    I have tried the fixes suggested in this forum. My Preferences slider is slid all the way to retain slide quality etc. I've tried changing Flash versions and forcing re-publishing of slides. I've tried copying all my slides into a new file. No luck.
    I have spent approximately 6 hours trying to resolve this problem and I'm about at the end of my rope, so any suggestions will be much appreciated! I will have to insert LOTS more video segments to complete this project.
    Thank you!

    Thank you, Rod!
    While researching frame rate I came across this helpful blog posting: Crazy about Captivate: Lessons Learned: Video and Resolution in Adobe Captivate
    This is the line that caught my attention: "I discovered, after several experiments, that if you publish a course in Captivate as SCALABLE with a video inserted, no matter what the resolution, it makes the video look pixelated."
    When I unclick the "scalable HTML content" button before publishing, the video is fine!
    Big sigh of relief! Now I just need to figure out why audio won't play on one of the slides (it has an accordian widget, if that's relevant) and why I can no longer use Effects (I get the message, "Effect file is not valid")

  • Captivate 8 - Issue with interactions when publishing to html5

    Has anyone else had difficulty with the built-in learning interactions when publishing to html5?  Are they incompatible?  We've had a few hiccups with things as we do all publishing to html5 and there seem to be some disconnects.

    Thanks Shriyansh. I've emailed you with a link to download the project along with the following additional details:
    Browsers I'm testing for compatability (all are up-to-date as far as I know):
    - Also, the slides that were repeating yesterday aren't repeating today
    Chrome 38.0.2125.104 m
    Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17358
    Safari for Windows 5.1.7
    Firefox 33.0 (Captivate says Firefox doesn't support the content so I'm not expecting a solution for FF, however, firefox repeats the first slide very consistently)
    Publish settings (pretty much the defaults):

  • Unable to access external video file after publishing in html5

    I am trying to publish a project that contains links to external files (.mp4 videos). After publishing, I get an path error message when I try to run the videos after publishing. The references to the videos are by name without any paths specified.
    When I published the file the videos reside in the same folder as the captivate project file.
    The instructions say copy the files to the output folder after I publish as html5.
    What I did was extract the zip folder
    Place the videos in the parent folder after extraction.
    Ran the project. It runs except for the video execution.
    There are a number of folders when the zip file is extracted.
    Am I placing the videos in the right folder?

    I personally prefer to get my files up on the server and link directly to them in Captivate.
    Are you putting your's in the root folder of your project? eg. /projectname/... instead of/projectname/callees/ ?

  • Issues publishing to HTML5 from Captivate 6

    When publishing projects to HTML5 in Captivate 6, I am experiencing problems with click functionality in files published to HTML5. When I play the HTML5 Output in Web Browser from the captivate toolbar, the functionality works perfectly. However, when I publish and the client launches the file from their LMS, the following issues occurr:
    1) If a slide has a text input box, then the subsequent slide requires only a single click. If a slide contains only a click box and it is not preceded by a text input box, two clicks are required to advance to the next step.
    2) None of these behaviors exist in the SWF version. Every slide action performs on a single click.
    Any insight into this issue would be appreciated.

    Hi There,
    Welcome To Adobe Forums.
    Can you please try and upload the published output to an LMS called SCORM CLOUD.
    You can also create a free trial account on scorm cloud using the following steps:
    1.     Browse to to the link https://cloud.scorm.com/sc/guest/SignUpForm
    2.     Now Create your free trial account.
    3.     Now publish the output in a zip format (in the form of SWF with reporting option enable)
    4.     Now sign in into scorm cloud and upload the course and launch the output.
    Please check and let us if it works fine.
    Thanks and Regards
    Loveesh

  • Screens go black when publishing to html5 using captivate 6

    HELP!  I'm so frustrated.  When I publish a particular file to html5, there are three screens that go black.  You can hear audio, but there is just a black screen.  It works perfectly fine when I preview the project (prior to publishing).  I just downloaded the latest update and I've tried re-building those slides in a new blank project.  Nothing seems to work.  The slides just have text captions, highlight boxes and images. No effects.
    Please help?!

    I was able to publish successfully to html5, but the issue is occurring with publishing to mp4.  Please help?

  • Audio cut off after publishing

    Hi,
    We are currenlty experiancing the following problem with
    Captivate.
    For E-Learning purposes we import Powerpoint into Captivate
    after which we add a voice over to each individual slide. After
    publishing one of our captivate movies we noticed that the audio is
    stopped before the end of the slide.
    We checked the timing in the captivate file itself but there
    is even 1 second of silence added after the audio stops, so there
    should be no problem. When listening in Captivate to the audio, the
    problem does not occur.
    FYI. When importing the Audio file into Captivate we select
    the option to extend the duration of the slide to the duration of
    the audio file and we do not use fade in and fade out of the audio
    on the slide.
    Can somebody help us with this issue???
    Kind regards
    Erik

    I am having a similar problem. I recorded a tutorial with
    audio at the same time using an external mic. After I published,
    the audio would play through about 5 slides then it would just cut
    out. I'm not sure what you mean by add one second of silence to the
    end of each slide - If I do that it will mess up the audio that
    goes with the tutorial. Is adding the one second the only way to
    get the audio to play consistantly? Would it be different if I
    added the audio afterward?
    Thanks for any advice.

  • Captivate 3 audio problems after publishing...

    Help please... having problems with audio getting messed up after publishing.  I'm recording all audio w/in Captivate3. When I publish and put on our browser, the audio is missing on some slides, also if you pause for FF the video, the audio sometimes is overlaping, or not in sync.  Any suggestions?
    Thank you
    Bev

    Hey Luke,
    I apologize for not getting back sooner, been swamped at work and I'm
    moving. OK here is my laundry list of bugs and nice to haves:
       - BUG - If I add silence to the beginning or end of a wavelength, it
       gets cut off when I save and close the wavelength. I then have to reopen
       the wavelength and add it back in and save it again. If I don't add silence
       the audio gets cut off when I publish. This has to be done for every slide
       I have and it's very repetitive.
       - BUG - If I create a movie over say 45 slides, the slides bleed into
       one another and images are lost or added to the next slide. If I use Fade
       for the transition it's even worse.
       - BUG - If I use Fade for a transition between slides with characters
       the characters bleed from one slide to the next.
       - NICE TO HAVE - The ability to set Preferences for characters per
       project or for all projects. For example, set the size and duration
       defaults.
       - NICE TO HAVE - It would be nice to have the default tab on the audio
       wavelengths be Edit not Add or Replace. I do a lot of narrating so having
       to click Edit for each slide becomes tedious.
    OK, I want to be clear that I'm not beating up Adobe programmers and I do
    LOVE the tool. It would just be a smoother experience if the above worked
    or were in place. I do also have to add that I love all of the new widgets
    and games!!! Haven't had time to explore them all, but I will soon and I'll
    let you know more when I do. BTW are you sharing these email threads with
    Adobe? Maybe we should put this online, what do you think?

  • Double playback of audio files after publishing

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with audio playback.  Once I publish the project, the audio files play back double, with the second one starting about 3 seconds after the first.  If I pause the project, one of the audio files keeps playing.  I removed the auto play function, but no change.  I would greatly appreciate any tips if anyone has experienced this before.
    Thank you!

    Hi Anjaneai, Thanks for the response.
    I don't have any text captions in this project, the entire thing is from PowerPoint, where the audio files worked perfectly fine.   I also checked the use count, everything reads as "1"... I also tried to begin from scratch with just one slide and one audio file, and the same thing happened.  I'm beginning to think my audio files are corrupted.  (However, they play fine in itunes and powerpoint).  I converted them from mp4 > mp3 with an online converter... might just be the problem! I'm going to download a trial of premier and see what happens with that!
    Thanks for the help,
    Jaime

  • Interactions don't work after publishing

    Web object and YouTube interactions seem not to be working after publishing. Neither do buttons that open URLs. I'm running Win7 and have tried with explorer and chrome. I've now found that they are not working for projects that I published a few months ago either. I have installed the patch that ends in .237

    Either way, upload the content to a web server and view from there.  Flash Global Security is probably interferring with the operation when you are launching the content from your hard drive.

  • FP 10 only - Audio does not match Powerpoint slide after publishing

    This is strictly related to Flash Player 10
    We create E-Learning courses related to Autism. We usually
    start with the Powerpoint and audios and load them into Captivate.
    Match the Powerpoint and the audio together. We then Publish it to
    our website. If I preview the whole chapter WITHOUT skipping
    forward by using the slider or clicking on forward - backward, it
    will work just fine. If on the other hand I click on forward,
    backward or use the slider the slides and audios get out of sync.
    This only happens to the published courses that are watched by
    machines that have the Flash Player 10. Flash Player 9 and before
    will work just fine. Our website is elearning.autism.net and I have
    created an account for whoever wants to troubleshoot it. I've
    created the following account. Username: test, password: test
    Try this course after log on: Autism-> Introduction ->
    Introduction to Autism Spectrum Disorders -> scroll down to
    Chapter 4 slide 4: Listen to the audio with slides (Audio Length: 3
    minutes 54 seconds, 6 Slides).
    We've had some courses created in Articulate and they've
    issued a patch to fix this problem. I've downloaded their patch and
    installed it and our previous courses done in Articulate got fixed.
    No such luck with Captivate yet.
    I am sure this is related to some scripting. Another problem
    is that the loader does not come up anymore.

    I am having a similar problem. I recorded a tutorial with
    audio at the same time using an external mic. After I published,
    the audio would play through about 5 slides then it would just cut
    out. I'm not sure what you mean by add one second of silence to the
    end of each slide - If I do that it will mess up the audio that
    goes with the tutorial. Is adding the one second the only way to
    get the audio to play consistantly? Would it be different if I
    added the audio afterward?

  • I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page.  everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?".  does anyone know what to do?

    I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page.  Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?".  Does anyone know what to do?

    Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
    Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them.  Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

  • Captivate 7: slide with mouse will not auto advance after publishing

    After I export my Captivate video, any slide that has a mouse object on it does not auto advance. I suspected that maybe the clicking sound file default attached to the action may have become corrupted, so I opened the sound file attached to "single-click" from Captivate. In the VisualClicks folder, there were no sound files. So, I opened the ClickSounds folder and attached the Mouse.mp3 file to this action. After publishing the training, the slide still will not auto advance. The slides that do not have the mouse action advance automatically as they should. The sound file may not be the issue (going to try to uncheck all of the Mouse Click Sound check boxes and republish to see if that helps).
    Was hoping to find a solution for future videos.
    Each slide is basically a layer of audio > slide > png file > the occasional smart object and/or text > mouse. I have no quizzes or video.
    When publishing I use the following setup swf/html5 with swf + html5 checked and scalable HTML content checked. We use Google Chrome and I've had numerous people try my HTML link after I've uploaded all files and everyone has the same issue. 
    1- Do you happen to know why the mouse action would cause the slide to not auto advance, and if so please let me know a solution so the user doesn't have to click next. If the mouse itself isn't the culprit, any other suggestions on what could cause this?
    2- Is there a way to make changes to the audio or override the mouse properties on all slides? I tried right clicking and "use the current mouse pointer for all slides" but it didn't change any of the properties. Thankfully my video is only 110 slides or it would have been even more painful.
    Captivate 7
    Windows 8.1

    Of course! Here ya go
    For the record, I did create a new project with only two slides to try and duplicate the issue. I had the same problem. I unchecked the Mouse Click Sound check box, republished and the slide auto advanced. I'm wondering if a default sound file was somehow moved or deleted? I discussed uninstalling and reinstalling C7 onto my laptop, but that's a frustrating solution haha

  • Cap6 Missing slides after publishing

    Hi.  Captivate 6 (with latest patch) is failing to publish all slides in a course. With each republish, different slide are skipped. Note that this same course file published successfully about a month ago. The only difference then was that the project did NOT use a playbar - it had custom back and next buttons. Buttons have been removed and the default playbar is now in use.
    There are only 15 slides. The number of slides that show up after publishing varies each time.
    After one publish, I was able to back into the missing slide - then it disappeared again.
    Project specifics:
    publishing to SWF (tried both Flash 10 and 11)
    no audio
    no other imports (such as PowerPoint slides)
    contains a few simple advanced actions (show/hide)
    contains a name variable
    uses animation effects
    No slides are Hidden.
    there is no branching.
    ...what else?
    Assuming the file was corrupted - I started a new project from scratch, just copying the objects and master slides to the new project - exact same thing happened in the newly created project.  I also tried using different playbar themes.  Nothing is working. Help?

    Are you working on project files stored locally on your hard drive?
    Are you on a corporate network with roaming profiles or virtual My Documents folders?
    Are you always using Force Republish All Slides when publishing?

  • HELP! Creating MP3 Audio Clip from iTunes to publish in iWeb

    I had successfully been able to publish in iWeb MP3 audio clips.Two of 4 MP3 audio clips that I had published and uploaded to the internet and were successfully mounted on the website for a year, suddenly would not function on the internet [I checked it out on both Safari and IE browsers — not a browser issue].
    I proceeded to troubleshoot the issue in iWeb to pursue the following considerations:
    Was the website requiring more webspace because I tried the MP3 clip on another website I have constructed that is far below its capacity. Same results. The clip would not publish in iWeb.
    I reloaded the original song in iTunes, followed the instructions "How to convert a song to a different file format".

    Hello, again, Old Toad,
    Here is the webpage weblink that has the MP3 audio clip:
    http://users.xplornet.com/~gayda/Dance_in_Liturgy.html
    BUT! AND, IT'S A HUGE BUT! In the iWeb publishing screen, the MP3 player has a '?' under the image.
    However, upon uploading the site, the MP3 player is functioning! And, plays perfectly well. Go figure?
    I cannot discern how or why this occurred after many attempts prior to my contacting you, the player in iWeb publishing mode was in a 'non-function' state. However, in desperation to have the player functional, I gave it another go round, and VOILA!, it uploaded successfully. It's a mystery to me.
    What I am going attempt to do for the other website that originally had the two players, is upload it even though iWeb shows they are not published and see what happens.
    It may be a website issue after all rather than the 'MP3 player'. That being the case, I will contact the ISP Domain Host and arrange for more space for this particular site.
    The website that successfully uploaded the player is very small. The other one is a huge. It may be a case scenario that the latter is on overload.
    Back to you later to see what happens next and verify the status quo for the original site the players were loaded.
