Playbar blinks on iPhone in Captivate 8 responsive project

In Captivate 8, when I publish a responsive project, the Captivate playbar keeps blinking when I view the published project on an iPhone. Does anyone know how to make the playbar stop blinking?
I notice in the Gestures section that it says to slide up or down to view/hide the playbar. However, that doesn't work for me. When I do that, my presentation just gets locked into a zoomed-in view and there is apparently no way to get out of it except to close the presentation and start over.
Does anyone have any advice about what I'm doing wrong with the playbar or with gestures?

Turning off gestures helped ... mostly. What I mean by mostly is that it still blinks on my quiz slide when I have Hide Playbar in Quiz unchecked in the Skin Editor. However, if I check the Hide Playbar in Quiz option, the playbar blinks throughout the rest of the presentation, just not on the quiz slides.
Here are the stats you asked for:
Model Number: iPhone 5C (Model ME555LL/A)
iOS Version: iOS 7.1 (11D167)
Playbar: I'm using the cpPlaybarMobile with these options:
When I published a version with Hide Playbar in Quiz checked, then tested the quiz page on the iPhone, the playbar was gone as expected, but the action of selecting multiple choice options was exceedingly sluggish, then Safari crashed.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a bug that prevents me from using any Captivate playbar if the destination device is an iPhone, because it produces an unfavorable result no matter which combination of options that I choose.

Can you define motion paths in Captivate 8 responsive projects?

I haven't purchased Captivate 8 yet. Just wondering, can you define motion paths in responsive projects?

Motion effects are not supported for responsive projects, motion paths have no sense.

My glossary made in a widget does not show up in captivate 8 responsive project. I copied and pasted it. What to do?

.

I reply to myself:
response projects are for me too complicated: either one function is working and excludes the other or reverse.
Buttons do work and the glossary not or the glossary works and the buttons do nothing.
Also powerpoints cannot be imported and other functions are also excluded (slide overs)
I like to work on the content, so it my course is very good to be seen on my Ipad in a non responsive way.
Also the helpdesk is very poor: no answers......
Nobody knows the right answers.
A bit disappointed.
I will wait for captiva 9, 10 and 11 before going back to responsive.
Unti now I will go on in the nonresponsive way: in doing that captivate is excellent

Captivate 8 responsive project with advanced action to show/hide interaction

I'm finding that responsive projects in captivate 8 don't properly show interactions upon show/hide. Is anyone else having this issue and knows how to fix it?
I've tried to not group items together but the interaction still doesn't appear.
I've tried placing the show hide information into an advanced action instead (actually my project requires this) and it doesn't work, nor does it work like in the screenshots below.
I've tried to duplicate this in a non-responsive project and it works which makes me think this is only related to responsive projects.
Thoughts? Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

I believe the problem is still present in Captivate but I've read a post on these forums that went some way to explaining what is happening and a possible workaround. The issue is in the method that Captivate writes HTML5 and the order in which it displays elements on the canvas. I had a quick look to try and locate the post but without any luck. The person who posted it did give instructions on how to resolved the issue 'relatively' simply by modifying the HTML5 code once you had published the files. I did say 'relatively' simple because this solution does require some knowledge of HTML5.
Sorry that I could not be of much more help and I do hope that my recollection of this possible solution is correct.

Changing Captivate 8 responsive projects from "desktop first" to "mobile first"

Dear Captivate team and fellow users,
when designing responsive projects in CP8 (or 8.0.1.242) the standard behaviour is that changes on the desktop-version are heritaged / copied to the tablet and mobile view. So the desktop-view and desktop-options are the parent, tablet is the child and phone is the grandchild.
This is quite handy, but often one needs to approach the content development other way round: design "mobile first" and the settings done here should be transfered to the bigger screen sizes of tablet and desktop. Is this feature somehow implemented or planned?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Philip

Hey Lilybiri,
I have just posted the feature request. Thank you for coming back on me this fast.
Best wishes
Philip
Copy of feature request:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
1) Brief title for your desired feature:
From "Desktop first" to "Mobile first"
2) How would you like the feature to work?
Dear Captivate team and fellow users,
when designing responsive projects in CP8 the standard behaviour is that changes on the desktop-version are heritaged / copied to the tablet and mobile view. So the desktop-view and desktop-options are the parent, tablet is the child and phone is the grandchild.
This is quite handy, but often one needs to approach the content development other way round: design "mobile first" and the settings done here should be transfered to the bigger screen sizes of tablet and desktop.
3) Why is this feature important to you?
Mobile first is usually the more important way when designing eLearning which shall be shown on mobiles. As tablets and desktops might not need too much of an adaption regarding font and image size, the screen size of mobiles is quite limited. Therefore it often makes sense for us to start from the mobile perspective and design the "basic needs" and then go up to tablet and desktop and think about what might make sense to be added to the additional space.

Text caption height in responsive project is not automatically resizing

Hi all,
I have a Captivate 8 responsive project in which a text caption is not behaving properly. When I get down to smartphone-sized screens the width of the text caption reduces with the width of the device. But, the height of the text caption does not increase accordingly to fit the content. The text just gets cut off at the bottom.
I've tried the Auto height setting for the object size, but this scales the text down within the boundaries of the text caption. I would like to maintain the size of my text and have it grow down the screen the way plain text does in an HTML page.
I also do not want to set my text caption height to 100% because I would like to stack objects beneath the text caption.
Any help or advice is great appreciated.

Hi cntdmds,
There's a setting buried in Preferences > Defaults > Autosize Captions that changes all text captions in your file. This has enabled my responsive layouts to work better in Captivate.
Re: creating something reliable: I'm in the midst of creating a large responsive e-learning course. It's been a really steep learning curve and a very frustrating one. I believe a reliable course can be created, but it's a hard journey. (My largest problem is my smart position markers don't stay at their assigned places, but I think I'm on track to solve it... perhaps.)
Yet to see if this whole responsive Captivate adventure will be worthwhile. I hope Articulate adds a responsive capability to Storyline.
Cheers.

Inline video playback for Apple devices in responsive projects (Captivate 8)

Hello,
I know that Captivate itself does not support inline browser playback for videos on Apple devices, but I was wondering if there might be a way to edit the HTML of a responsive project to add inline playback tags (like the ones listed here). Or maybe some other solution that accomplishes the same goal?
The context is that I will be developing 45 minute course (heavily animated) that my organization wants to be mobile-optimized. I'm developing all animations in Flash and converting to mp4, and then inserting those into my Captivate project. There will be about 100 slides worth of videos, which would be unbelievably tedious for the user if they had to keep toggling back and forth between their browser and the native Apple video player. For the record, I've already experimented with converting these into HTML5 content and inserting them into Captivate as web objects, but that's no good since the <iframe> tag forces those objects to the top, regardless of my stack order in the timeline.
So any creative solutions?
Thanks in advance!
Dan

That's unfortunately not really correct. I don't care about user navigation from slide to slide--I actually like the fact that the user has to use the next and back buttons and I would actually prefer that the next video didn't auto-play when the previous one finished.
Let me back up for a second. When you go to YouTube on your iPhone, you can't just push play on a video and watch it in the browser. The video loads into an iOS shell and you often have to exit out of that shell in order to get back toYouTube. In my course, I don't want the videos to play in that shell (i.e. a new window, which is what's happening now). I want it to play directly in the browser. This is indeed possible outside of Captivate (per the link I included in my initial question). I want to know how to add that functionality to a responsive project in Captivate.
Does that make more sense?

PowerPoint Slides into Captivate Responsive Project

I would like to bring a PowerPoint presentation into captivate using the responsive project functions. Basically, I would like to use my PowerPoint slides but be able to format them for mobile use as well. How should I go about this?

Captivate 8 crashes when pasting a text caption or slides in a responsive project. Solutions?

This version of Captivate has been fairly reliable, at least compared to versions 1-4 that I have worked with previously, however, five minutes into my first responsive project, I am getting fatal errors when I try to paste any text caption between slides. I also get fatal errors when trying to paste slides between responsive projects.
Has anyone experienced this, and more importantly, does anyone have a solution?
I am running Windows 8 SP1, Intel I7

For posterity, seems like there are issues with certain custom captions and responsive projects. After reinstall, clearing every cache I am aware of, and running the clean preferences .bat, my custom captions no longer appear in the properties window, and I am able to copy stock captions between slides.
Not sure if the reinstall was necessary or not. Here are the folders that appeared to cache data and the location of the .bat
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 8 x64\utils\CleanPreferencesWin.bat"
"C:\Users\Brom\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 8.0"
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Layouts"
If anyone has input as to what might make a custom caption crash a responsive project, I'd be interested. I wouldn't have bothered with custom captions, except that the stock ones are so amateurish.

Captivate 8: Why am I getting a HTTP 404 Not Found error when I try to preview a responsive project?

Out of curiosity, some here have recommended renaming an EXE file behind the scenes to eliminate that firewall message when starting up. Are you one of those folks that tried this? My thought is that if so, perhaps this is a result?

How to create portrait (vertical) page layout in Captivate 8's Responsive Project?

In Cp8's Responsive Project feature, the page layout for "Primary" and "Tablet" are landscape. What if I want to create slides of a portrait (vertical) layout? In the "Primary" (PC) layout, I've tried to dragged the border of the stage to the minimum width and the maximum height allowed. But it doesn't seem to me like the right solution.

Thanks for your reply, Lilybiri.
In Responsive Project, the default size of Tablet is 768(W) x 627(H), so, since the width is larger than the height, I thought that you'd want to hold the tablet horizontally in order to see the 768(W) x 627(H) (which appears to me to be landscape) layout. But now it occurs to me, after reading your message, that the 768(W) x 627(H) layout of the tablet is viewed by holding the tablet vertically, and that when the tablet is held horizontally, the layout is automatically switched to the Primary view. Is that so?
The reason I want to change the primary view to portrait is that I want to create a tutorial based on some PDF pages which are in portrait layout. I convert those PDF pages to individual images using Acrobat Professional, then import them into Captivate. But I realize that the viewers would have to scroll down to see the lower part of the page.

IPhone hangs and non responsive

Hi,
I need someone to help me figure out what could be the problem with my iPhone which i got on Jan 9th 2009. I understand it still under warranty but i would like to know if iPhone itself is non responsive or its only my phone which doesnt respond sometimes and screen flashes sometimes.
Thanks
Parmar

HT3302 my iphone 4s is non responsive will not turn on or charge

My iphone 4s is non responsive it will not react to being charged either . I hold down the home button and nothing happends

What to do if your iPhone will not turn on

Captivate 8: Can you convert a responsive project to a non-responsive project?

My co-worker created a responsive project, but she didn't really understand the use case for responsive design, and now we have a bunch of learners who can't view the HTML5 (they have antiquated browsers that they cannot update) and I need a quick fix. Is there a way to switch over the Flash\html5 version?
I have to fix this tonight before I can go home, (my co-worker is conveniently on vacation). Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Hi there
Unfortunately there is no "flip a switch" and convert from responsive to normal.
What you are faced with is carefully re-creating each slide with the elements on the responsive slides.
