You can create your own playback controls with buttons or
click-boxes, or in Flash. But if you wish to use the ones included
with Captivate, their positions and functions are hard-coded.

Playback Control in Captivate 4 as it was in version 3

Hi!
I have some projects made using the version 3.
When publishing them in that old Captivate, the playback control (stop, pause, etc buttons) was placed inside the borders of the project, so the measures of the whole movie (swf file) wasn't being changed.
But in the Captivate 4 the additional thick lines are added automatically. So the navigation bar becomes placed on them, not inside the project. Therefore the measures (width/height) of the swf file is increased and that is unacceptable for me.
How can I configure my Captivate 4 to publish the playback control as it was in the previous version?
I mean covering the presentation, but not taking the navigation bar out.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there
Unfortunately they changed that aspect. No workaround exists that I'm aware of. About all you can do is lodge your compliaint with the development team using the Bug form. (link is in my sig)

Where's the Playback Control?

I've set up a Captivate 2.0 project, set the playback control
to show Right/Center due to the layout of the software I'm
simulating. The playback control shows on the preview, and it
works, but I after I publish the project to Flash, the control is
not visible in the published version.
If anyone has any insight into why this might be happening,
much appreciated.
Dan

Thanks Rick.
First, I found the deselection of borders idea (maybe your
post?) by searching for an answer before posting something
redundant. I backed up my file and published that version and still
didn't get the playback control in the published version.
Second, only getting the control when viewing output right
after publishing doesn't really work for other users, does it?
Seems like there has to be a consistent output no matter what route
you take to viewing it.
Third, noticed your RoboWizard site note. Were you a previous
RoboDemo user? That's where I started after getting turned onto it
by a co-worker on a project where we built tutorials using
RoboHelp. At the time I was starting to build interactive training
in Flash, and as cool as Flash is, talk about labor intensive
compared to Robo/Captivate.
Anyways, if you can offer any other avenues to explore,
please do. Otherwise I'll just keep banging away at this. Haven't
seen it before, so it has to be an Anna Molly.

Video playback control won't show after upgrade to 3.1

Hi,
I have a iPod Touch 2nd Generation. After upgrading from 2.2 to 3.1, when I tap the video during video playback, the playback control won't show. I have to tap it many many times in order for the playback control to show. Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? It is upsetting to pay for an upgrade that would break existing behavior.
Thanks.

I have the same problem and the reset didn't fix it. In fact I went in to the store and the Apple Genius saw the issue and replaced my ipod with a rebuilt ipod that had ipod 2.x software. I upgraded it to 3.2 and once again the playback controls don't show up. Called support and they think it's a bug ... hoping for a fix.
Any ideas?

Apple Mail doesn't show playback controls for audio attachments

Anytime I look at an email with an audio attachment (be it one that I'm creating or one that I received) the little audio preview does not include any playback controls aside from the play button. (view below).
Although you can press play (and pause) you can't follow the transport... I've found that you can click in the space where the transport would be and it will skip through the track, but even then it only corresponds to 70% of the length of the track.
Any suggestions on fixing this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks!
David

Captivate 7 event video playback controls not working

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 7 and published an mp4 event video with limited playback controls (only play, pause, back, and close) on the slide, since the event video controls won't show up once published. When I publish the HTML5 video (with or without seamless tabbing) the controls are not working. When I click play the video plays and I can pause it, but when I want to continue play, the controls are not working.
I tried only to use the skins (clear, corona, and halo) given with the event video, but then I can't pause the video at all, since the controls are not showing.
We need the video to play in HTML5 mode for iPads and computers, but we're at a loss with the controls. The video has got to be limited to only play, pause, back, and close - no scrubbing or forwarding. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nat

I know you will hate Captivate for this. But if you are publishing to HTML5, the skins you select here won't make any difference as HTML5 output comes with its own mysterious skin which is not visible until you publish and check.
Here is how that skin looks when viewed in Google Chrome browser on my laptop running on Windows 7.
Here is the skin I have used for that in the Captivate editor.
The best way to test these outputs is from a webserver or SCORM Cloud.

How do you fix scaling issue with any video playback control bar (too small to see) on Firefox 28?

Using a 3200x1800 dpi resolution lap top (Samsung Ultrabook 9 series), when I want to play videos on a webpage, the playback control bar (runs across the bottom of a given video for settings like play, pause, sound level, etc.) is too small to see. I tried scaling using various methods, Windows 8.1 OS, Firefox ad-ons like No squint with no success. Of course, these tools work to rescale everything else but the playback control bar. This is not a problem on IE as when you rescale, everything including the playback control bar
rescales. Thanks

You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

Can Captivate 7's playback controls control Flash swf files?

Hi folks,
I have created a swf file using Adobe Flash and I have imported it as an animation slide in Captivate 7. I have turned on the playback controls to just have the play button and the progress bar. When I export the presentation, the playback controls do not work. The scrubber moves as the presentation is playing, but I can't pause the presentation. When I stop the scrubber or even move it left or right, it does not affect the presentation and it just keeps playing. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to have to create a custom nav bar in Flash as it would just be easier to use Captivate's playback bar.

I don't think it can be expained quickly as it can be very complicated. But...
Select New Project/Widget in Flash and choose static widget. You need to be very adept in AS3 to actually get them to work.

How to add a custom multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?

How to add a custom skin in multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played? As it is being played...
I need a time line so any part of the what is being played can be found by time, ie at 1 minute and 30 seconds in and continues for 45 seconds out of a 50 minute audo.

If you're talking about a playback controller within the rich media annotation (RMA) then you need to write your own widget in Flash or Flex, and then place the video and widget files using the multimedia "Add Flash" tool in Acrobat instead of the "Add Video" tool. Aside from a bunch of proprietary code to handle events, commenting and the API (which you can live without for basic play-pause-scrub applications), video RMAs are just an embedded SWF file containing an FLVPlayback component. The skin and the video file itself are added to the RMA as resource entries. You can build your own version and have it display whatever controls you want, provided you know how to write ActionScript!
If you're talking about a controller that's external to the RMA (e.g. a series of links or buttons elsewhere on the page) then in the past you would use FLV video files and the 'cue points' feature that's built into Acrobat - however Adobe removed the ability to create FLV files in the latest version of CC, so unless you have CS6 or earlier it's a non-starter. Instead you can manually set playback start points using the special "multimedia operations" link action in your PDF - though stopping playback at a defined point is very difficult without FLV cues. For that you're back to writing your own widget.

Looking for better playback controls

When I create FLV files for web streaming directly through
Adobe Flash, I
can take advantage of many choices of playback controls, my
favorite one
being the ArcticExternalAll. The downside: RIPing my slide
shows takes
hours.
The newest version of ProShow Producer has greatly improved
Flash export,
allowing me to create high-quality Flash files directly from
it in a
fraction of the time -- minutes instead of hours. Its
downside: Only a
use-it-or-not choice of one playback control, and it's a
lousy one.
I would like to learn more about these playback controls:
- Which file is responsible for designating the controls, the
SWF or the
FLV?
- Can the user swap one control for another?
- Can I take the external ArcticExternalAll.swf and somehow
patch the video
to include the control file?
Any input is appreciated...

I misspoke, then, or I was not specific enough. I take AVI
files and import
them into Flash and then publish them as FLVs. That is the
sum total of my
experience using Flash.
However, I am an advanced computer user and a quick study, so
if you were to
point me in the right direction, that is likely all I would
need...

IPad mini losses playback controls/capabilities using shared library content videos

While accessing my shared "authorized" video library on my MacBook Pro, using the latest iTunes version (as of this submission), with my sparkling new iPad mini, the playback controls simply disappear usually after a few minutes, i.e. no progress bar, buttons for stop/start/pause/"done".
The video stream from the shared library cannot be stopped without the on-screen controls so we either attempt to turn off the unit (pressing the top on/off button) or (usually) press the home button after which the video stream/app stops then return to the expected ipad screen but the residual sound stream will continue to run indefinitely.
Most of the time, we hit the home button to end the video playback then wait for the sound stream portion to end which on average takes up to 1-5 minutes to stop completely.
This is repeatable too.
SUMMARY:
1). Without power cycling, we can play a video from the shared librar
2). then wait long enough for the video controls to "go missing" or again go unresponsive
3.) then press the home button which returns you to your normal iPad screen
4.) but the sound stream portion will take a while to take its course before ending.
Also, we gave power-cycling between issues but the each and every time, the shared library video playback inevitably ended up with same results.
iPad mini with iOS 6.1.3 factory , wifi only unit with legitimate software, etc. I.e. no jailbreak nonsense.
Any suggestions? Or is this a glitch/bug which needs addressing? Or a simple setting on the unit?
Thanks in advance!!!

I have nearly the same problem, but with an iPad 3rd generation. The symptoms are exactly the same, just a different device.
You documented the problem well, I can only add that resetting and reloading did not solve the problem for me.

Playback Controls Do Not Function

I have created movies that have the playback control located
at the bottom center of the movie. I have published the movie in
both SWF and HTM formats. Usually, the forward, rewind, pause, etc.
buttons work but the Exit button does not work.
Does anyone know why it doesn't work? How can I make it work?
I do not know javascript, if you are going there. I am not a
developer. I am a software trainer struggling to make a
demonstration movie work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please help quickly! I am in a bind!

Hi Susan
Here is one thing to try. It may or may not work, but may be
worth a shot.
Insert the following code:
JavaScript:var
pw=window.parent;pw.opener=window.self;pw.close();
Where?
* Insert > Button
or
* Insert > Click box
or
* Movie > Preferences > Start and end tab > Movie
End Options.
Configure "Execute JavaScript" as the action.
Click the ellipsis (...) button to produce another dialog.
Paste code from above into the dialog.
Click OK to dismiss the dialog.
Click OK to dismiss the properties or preferences dialog.
Publish and test the movie.
Cheers... Rick

Full Screen Playback Control Impossible Using Monitor 2 in Dual Monitor

Recent iTunes update (patch didn't fix) causes playback control to disappear when the cursor is on the monitor showing the movie. Controls reappear when cursor is moved to first monitor. User cannot get the cursor near the control panel. Must drop out of full screen playback to touch controls with the cursor.

Isn't there a SINGLE MONITOR option in COLOR? Use that.
I don't think two graphics cards will work with Color, as Color relies on the card when it comes time to render. Might mess it up, or not work.

Video playback control to be keyboard accessible

I need to make player controls accessible in Flash CS3 by using only the Tab and Enter keys. I am using the FLVPlayback's SkinUnderAllNoFullscreen.swf. Thank you in advance.

I have the same problem and the reset didn't fix it. In fact I went in to the store and the Apple Genius saw the issue and replaced my ipod with a rebuilt ipod that had ipod 2.x software. I upgraded it to 3.2 and once again the playback controls don't show up. Called support and they think it's a bug ... hoping for a fix.

Playback control changes when animation is inserted into anothr movie

Hi,
I have created a couple of movies and used a specific
playback control. When these movies (saved in swf format) are ran
separately, everything is fine and the appropriate palyback control
is shown. However, when I insert these animation (swf) into another
project, the playback control are different of this animation are
different !!! Any idea ?

Hi,
The problem still exists even if I have re-created the child
movies (swf version 8) with other playback control.
I have removed the playback control of the child movies and
then just re-imported them back to the master movie. The master
moview has been then published to EXE and it is fine (the child
movies dies not show anymore the playback control).
Then i have re-inserted the playback control into the child
movie, and re-imported them back into the master, then the master
published to EXE. And the problem is back, the child movies are
showing a diffeent playback control (the same as dpierre - the skin
used is dark grey, align top left, and the buttons don't actually
work.)
Is there a way to clear any cache that exists in the files
(if the problem is the chache) ? I have a huge project with 20-25
child movies to import into the master movie. It looks like a bug
?
