Powerpoint Narration not in Presenter-Published swf

1) Create PPT slide show
2) Record audio on slide with PowerPoint narration recorder (used to manage timing on slides and animations)
3) Playback PPT slide show: audio is present, timings work
4) Publish to "My Computer" with Presenter (version 7.07)
5) Open HTML/SWF in browser window to playback published slide show
6) NO AUDIO
Any help? Thanks.
Do I have to use the Presenter audio recorder and the "next" button on the tiny-little-hard-to-work-with recorder popup to make it work? (sorry for the editorializing)
Why doesn't Presenter use the narration and timings generated by PowerPoint and from within PowerPoint?

eLS 2.5 (etc.)

Heyward is correct. The short version of the answer is that Presenter has to build the presentation in Flash using server rules. Thus cannot make local file path calls, which is where the audio would reside if in PPT. So, you should be able to open the Import Audio tool and there should be a button for importing the PPT audio. Keep in mind that this will not keep your timings created in PPT, but is easily fixed in the Sync Audio tool.
Not sure what you are talking about with the Presenter Audio recorder, as once you know how it works, recording audio is no harder (possibly easier) than doing the same thing in PPT.
As to why doesn't it translate the info from PPT? Well, it is an Adobe product living in a MS product. So, MS writes the rules as to what the visibility and integration can be with their tools. So you are seeing the result of two software houses in one place. Is it perfect? No, but it is a pretty wonderful tool to use. I say that as a user of Presenter for the past 6+ year. The biggest thing that I see is people have false or unreasonable expectations of the tool itself. It all comes down to honestly knowing what it will and won't do, and the best practices for getting it done. If needed, you may want to look at a traditional class for Presenter. It's amazing what you can learn, and learn to avoid, if you are set up to succeed from the beginning.
Feel free to PM me if you want, as I do teach Presenter, or there are plenty of great resources out there if you need them.

.flv videos not appearing in published .swf

Hi, I have imported some .flv files into my Captivate project, but when I publish it as .swf the files do not show I up at all... I have no idea why... Can anyone help with this.

Hello ,
Can you tell me the version of Adobe Captivate you are using (Go to Help > About Adobe Captivate) ?
Do you get any error message when you play the .swf output ?

Buttons not working on published SWF Captivate 2 project

I have published a daisychained Captivate 2 project in three
pieces, all published as SWF. The first piece plays fine, but a
user has to push a button to choose to either go to the second
piece OR the third piece. The button was designed so that when
pressed, it would open another CP project. The buttons in the
published pieces make the clicking sound, but otherwise do nothing.
When I published this as an EXE project with three pieces, the
buttons did what they were supposed to do. I'd prefer to use SWF
published output instead of EXEs. Any ideas as to what might be
happening to prohibit the buttons from performing?
Thanks,
Andrew

Welcome to our community
If you are emailing the Captivate published file, likely the end user is running it from a temporary folder from their C drive. And that causes a security issue with Flash.
If you insist on using the eMail method of distribution, you need to also instruct the user to save the attached files to a specific location, launch the HTML file. Then ensure they configure their Flash player security settings to acknowledge the location where they saved the files as being safe.

Mask not working in published swf

I have 2 animated masks. On the stage in flash they work fine
when I run the animation, but when I publish the movie, the second
mask doesn't do anything!
when I turn the mask layer back into a regular layer it works
fine when published and the movieclip animates fine. The movie clip
does indeed run all the way through, it loops back and I put a
trace half way through the broken mask's timeline. I have no
actionscript anywhere on the timeline.
here is the fla, the problem is occuring in the movie clip

Presenter 10 - theme info not showing in published video

Using Presenter 10 - when I publish a video using powerpoint my theme with presenter info and selected panes does not show. I start by going to power point and creating a custom theme within the presenter tab and check the presenter info and panes I want to show and press ok. I then hit record and it sends me to adobe presenter video express. I record the video and publish the project. However no theme shows in the final published video. Maybe adobe presenter was not meant to show theme information in a published video?
Thanks for any help

Presenter Video Express (APVE) does not use the theme for the PPT output. If you embed the MP4 in a PPT slide using Presenter, then publish it out it will have the theme wrapper around the PPT content, which contains your APVE video.
If you want to customize the theme in the APVE you can do that when editing your video in that tool.

Button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf

Captivate 6, button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf, the cursor changes the “the hand” but the hyperlink does not redirect.
Any ideas?
Like I said my buttons work great in preview mode after publishing, one click and the PDF opens in a new browser window. Open the project through the published .swf files and the links will not work.
Using Captivate 6 on WIndows 7

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Once your project published, add the .swf file in Flash Global Setting :
1) Right Click on the content (Published .swf file) and click on Global Settings
2) Go to Advanced Tab and Click on Trusted Location Settings (Scrool down to see this button)
3) Click on "Add" button and then "Add file", browse for the Captivate 6 published file and click on OK
4) Launch the .htm file again (Location where Captivate publish your project)
Hope this helps !!

Flash file will not publish SWF

I am a novice when it comes to flash so please bare with me on this one.
I have recently taken over a project started by another person who has been let go due to lack of performance and other issues.
He has created a FLA file and an .exe file. But I am have been asked to place the movie on to the internet.
The FLA file that I have will not let me publish an SWF file to be uploaded to the internet, in fact it will not let me publish anything.
I have changed the publish setting but when I go to publish it the SWF file is not created.
I just want this file in SWF format and for it to autoplay when the website is loaded.
Let me know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for your Help in advanced
Travis
Extra Information:
I have used a exe to swf converter to convert the EXE file that was already made into a SWF file for the internet.
This does make an swf file but the file is not editable and will not autoplay once it is uploaded.

Any suggestions here? I am having the same problem (minus the part about .exe's):
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/465031?tstart=0
Double checked my publish settings, the path is correct. I have tried exporting a movie to my Desktop, does not work. Tried copying content to a new file, same problem. When I publish, the dialog shows up and a SWF even shows up for a second in the Finder, but then disappears.
I really need to work with this file. I have submitted a support ticket to Adobe, and am awaiting their reply (not holding my breath). Please HELP!

Attachments "paper clip" does not appear after publishing

I am using Adobe Presenter 7.07 with PowerPoint 2007 and 2010, and have attached several links and documents to the Presenter presentation. The attachments are viewable in Presenter Settings.
However, once the presentation is published in PDF, the paper clip does not appear for access to the attachments. The result is the same when expanding the player view.
Please help!!

The attachement function is not available when publishing to PDF.

Web-object interaction/widget does not appear in published slideshow

I added the web-object interaction/widget using my notes from the instructions in the relevant Lynda.com video (as the Captivate 7 User Guide makes no mention of the web page widget, web-object widget, web object widget, web-object interaction, web-page interaction, web page interaction, or webpage interaction).
The web-object interaction, or web-object widget (or whatever you choose to call the thingie that should provide the user of the published project slideshow with direct interaction with a web page from within one of the slides), it sometimes works in preview; may have worked once when published; but otherwise does not appear on the slide.
On its not appearing in either the published HTML document or the SWF file:
--I had a Continue button on the slide, and tried removing that.
This did not help.
--Because the web-object interaction/widget automatically sets the slide's action on entrance to "Pause," I tried setting it to "No action" (thinking that the slide, being pause on entrance, might never get to the web-object widget/interaction).
This did not help.
--I thought that perhaps navigating in the slide show with various "Jump to slide" settings, I would watch it without navigation.
This did not help.
Any help will be appreciated.
Jeff

In the published folder, I noticed a SWF called stagewebview. I guess this file has got something to do with Web Object interaction. When we link to published HTML file, this SWF is getting called automatically. But in your case since you are linking to published SWF file, the web object interaction SWF is not getting called. So, is it not possible for you to link it to HTM file?

Movies in MS PowerPoint are not shown in Keynote on iPad

Hey Users,
I did a Presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) with embedded Movies (I tried .MOV, .wmv, .mp4, .avi). Then I synchronized the .pptx-document in iTunes and imported it in Keynote (on iPad). After importing the file I got an error message that movies are not supported and were removed.
Has anybody an idea or a solution (programm) why i can't play movies in Keynote from .pptx-files?
Answers in English or German, please.
Thank you

2)after child.swf loaded --> need to check parent.swf is published on flash player 9 or 10.
3)if parent.swf published on flash player 9 then child.swf will run a function
4)if parent.swf published on flash player 10 then child.swf will run some other function.
On the above for the based on the 2nd point question 3 or 4 will happen.
On the above case I have only one parent... In some other case I may have multiple parents. My question to how to detect top most player's published version?

Any Idea guys?

Publish SWF Output Options Export HTML

I have a number of projects that display the Export HTML,
Output Option of Publish SWF as checked and disabled. When I
publish the project the htm file is not generated. All of these
projects have SCORM Reporting selected and should be producing the
swf file, htm file and scorm_support folder, but all I get is the
swf file. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Raymond Sugel Sr

IThis is an aside but would be good for other newbies to
know:
what I learned and maybe you already know this is that when I
published (having htm selected) it generated an output folder on
its own!!! Lorn behold my htm, swf, and a file named js (?), I
think was in that folder. I would have never gone looking for
another folder but happened to see that was where I had placed by
1st cp project days earlier.

CS5.5 Publish SWF including Main.AS script

Hi,
In Flash Pro CS5.5, I've created an Fla and scripted it (in AS3) using a separate AS file (package) which is linked. When I publish the SWF and both the SWF and AS files are in the same folder, it runs fine. If I separate out the SWF (without the AS file), and try to run it, it doesn't play (run the script).
How do I include (embed) the AS file into the published SWF so that wherever the SWF is located, it is self-contained so that it plays using the script from the AS file?
Regards,

Hi Michael,
Thank you for this explanation. After a lot of experimenting, I seem to be able to get the AS's script included in the published SWF, but 6 MP3's (although imported to library and/or stage) are still separated and, unless in the same folder as the SWF, will not work. With beginner skills, I think that maybe this is caused by these MP3's also being loaded in the separate AS file. Ithink that all of this could be solved if I could figure out how to put all the script in a single Fla, then maybe it could somehow also "embed" the 6 MP3's in the final published SWF. I've tried to re-do the AS file's script, but since these are "public" class definitions, etc., keep getting error messages. Quite a "mess." Not sure how to fix it.
Regards,

View last published swf from flash authoring envoirnment

hi guys
It might sound silly but how about having a shorcut/tool in flash IDE to view recently published swf file
basicaly i m not updating content outside flash i.e. XML,images and I dont want to use windows explorer to run swf file and check the updated content
Is there any quick way to achive this?
adobe should look at these small things

"Open Recent files" in file menu allows to open recent source files i.e. fla, as and not publised swf files
Basicaly I my point is , why i have to publish fla when there is no channge
I have a swf wihch is getting loaded in a container and no content/code is referenced in parent container. I am making changes in child fla and compiling it.
to view the application i might have to publishing Parent fla or goto explorer to run parent swf which is very comfertable.

Controlling separate, freestanding swfs (not loaded parent/child swfs)

I have a flash file with buttons and actions and 2 flash files with animations. I want to control both animation files with the one 'controler' file, at the same time.
Note: these are separate swf/exe/app files and will run individually from the desktop, not be loaded into an swf and run online.
How can I access the timeline of these separate files to control them?
Thanks
