Problem publishing Presenter file on website

Hello,
I have Presenter 9 and have created several modules that I would like to publish on my website for free for people to view. For some reason, when I go to publish my only options are a pdf or zip file. I have uploaded the zip file to my website but all it does is download again once it is clicked. What steps am I missing? How do I embed these presentations onto my website?
Thanks,
Ainsley

You will likely need to un-zip the published presenation and then put all the associated files/folders on your webserver. Then provide the link to the index.htm file to play the presentation.
You can also publish locally without zipping, if that is easier.

Problems publishing executable files

I am using Captivate 5 on PC and am having some trouble publishing executable files. We have a 3 slide (about 4 min) project with screen capture, audio and closed captioning. We need executables for both PC and MAC platforms. Her's my problem(s).
For PC (.exe) I'm getting a message that tells me the icon (.ico) file isn't right. What size should it be and should it be a single icon or a multi-res icon bundle?
For MAC (.app) First, I can't add an Icon. Anyone know why this option becomes "greyed out"?
And while the file seems to publish OK, when I try to run it on a MAC, it tells me the file is damaged. I can't begin to figure our why as it publishes the proper folder and (seemingly) all the right files and subfolders.
I've looked everywhere (but here (until now)) and I'm out of ideas.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've had Windows executable icon production problems in the past as well. This just appeared in the Cp5.5 help - and it worked for me (finally!):
Custom Icon
You can customize the icon that is displayed for the executable file. Click Browse (...) to add a custom icon for your file. Ensure that the icon file has a .ico extension (on Windows)/.icns (for Mac).(Applies only for Windows) You can create a custom icon file using any software meant for that purpose. Ensure that the file you create contains seven images of the following dimensions:
256x256 32-bit color image
48x48 32-bit color image
48x48 8-bit color image
32x32 32-bit color image
32x32 8-bit color image
16x16 32-bit color image
16x16 8-bit color image
Then I used this: http://icofx.ro/ - a really slick icon creater/packager. (.ico files can be a compilation of images)
Hope this helps others.

Problem with swf file on website

I created a swf file with flash CS4. I can do the publish
preview and the video plays just fine. I can even view the
generated html file on my local machine and it works. I upload to
my website and it does not work. Here is the link
http://www.streamlineprofits.net/movies/Potential.html
The player skin is acting like it cant find the swf file but
it is in the same directory. Also, when i go to the publish
settings for the html I select the "Paused at start" but the video
plays when I load the local html file in my browser. Any ideas or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Brian

I don't think it's a permission problem, but somehow the
Flash Player thinks (I think) the stream is coming from another
domain. With me a error pops up that goes like this:
SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF-Datei

Have you tried a super-simple <object>-style embed of
your video?
I really do think it's the Adobe-AC-JS-stuff that's messing
things up?
You could instead consider using swfobject
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject
But first I think you should try an <object>-embed to
see if it's the JS or the Flash that's messing things up.

Problems opening PDF files from Websites

I just had the contents of my (dying) ibook transferred onto my emac. The tech created a new user/desktop on the emac. Now, when I try to open PDF files from a website, I get a window saying this:
"Downloading - users/myname/desktop/xxxxx.pdf could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location."
Points to note: 1) The "xxxxx.pdf" part of the above message changes each time I try to open a pdf document, even the same one, and it does not show the real name of the document (e.g. CollegeApplication.pdf)
2) this never happened on my laptop;
3) the settings are set in Firefox to download pdf's to my desktop;
4) I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat, which I already tried opening before downloading.
Any ideas? Thank you!

Will the new account save to a different location?
Is the "myname" that appears in the error message that of the new account or of the old one?
Following up on Frank's tip about file permissions, is it possible that the GID of the new user account conflicts with the existing? The existing admin user was likely GID = 501 on both Macs, and depending on how the laptop's data was transferred, the internal ownership of the transferred files still points to 502 rather than say 502.
have you tried the old standby of running Disk Utility's Repair Permissions on the hard drive?

Problem publishing CS6 file in CC.

Hi,
I have a file that worked perfectly fine in Flash CS6 but after upgrading to Flash CC I'm getting several of these errors:
The frame scripts of the symbol * have been ignored because a compiled clip contains a definition for *. To override the * definition, place a custom class file within your classpath.
This is quite a large project with a lot of code behind files. It's a Flash Builder project with graphics assets being done in a Flash file. Unfortunately I can't upload the file due to the NDA I have signed. I have tries several things to fix this based on searches on the web, including changing to an FLX file format but nothing has worked.
Thanks,
Chris

I don't see any. The first time I opened the file in Flash CC it told me TLF Text wasn't supported anymore and said it changed all instances back to standard text. So the only missing library was the TLF library.
One thing I notice though is this doesn't seem to point anywhere:
$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/libs
There is are no libraries in the same location as CS 6. This also made my Flash Builder projects that reference the flash.swc file to fail. I ended up copying the folder over from CS 6. Is there supposed to be a configuration under the Common folder? I'm on a Mac, so all of these were in the application package.
Thanks,
Chris

Having issues publishing certain photos to website from Aperture.

Hi All,
I really hope someone can help me with this. I created a new website yesterday and had no problems publishing everything to my website. This included dragging photos from Aperture to iWeb, creating photo albums and such. Late last night, I tried to add a new album with all new photos that were from Aperture just like before. Once I had customized the new album (which is exactly like the other albums, just different pictures) I hit publish and I get an error message every time. It's saying there's a problem publishing because of the FTP and to contact my service provider. I contacted Yahoo Small Business, and after running a few tests on my account, they said everything was working fine on their end.
I thought maybe the pictures were too big, so I resized them to under 1MB, but I still can't get them to publish and am still getting the same error message! The photos are in .jpg format just in case you're wondering. Any ideas or suggestions on what I should do to try and get this working?
I'm totally new at making a website, so please be thorough when responding. Thanks so much!

Are you able to publish the site to a folder on your hard drive? If so then it's not an iWeb problem per se but a communications prolbem with the server.
You might have to try the publishing to a folder and use a 3rd party FTP client like the free Cyberduck to upload the site to the server. I'd get Cyberduck, configure it for your server and see if you can get it to login and view your account folder on the server.
Otherwise you can try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home()/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Invalid website publish settings file to import publish profile

I am new user of Azure. I created a virtual machine through Azure's website, and ran "Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile" command to download the publish setting file. I later used VS 2012 to publish an ASP.NET website. After selecting the downloaded
publish setting file, an error shows up saying that "Invalid website publish settings file to import publish profile".
It should be noted that I wasn't able to find "Download the publish profile" on Azure's website itself. The Dashboard page didn't have the link to download the publish profile.
I am wondering what might be the cause of the error? How to fix it? Thanks for any thoughts in advance!
lakeeast

When running Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile, I actually downloaded the publish profile successfully. The problem is with importing the file: after selecting the publish profile in Visual Studio, I got the error ""Invalid
website publish settings file to import publish profile".
Did anyone else run into the same problem?

Audio timing problems with publishing AVI files... Desperate for suggestions!...anyone?

I could really use someone's suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue. Been working on this issue for 6 weeks, with no solution in sight.
I have created demonstration tutorials in Captivate 4, (purchased, not demo) and am using the text to speech (Kate's voice) as the audio. I am trying to get an AVI file as the final product, as I will be publishing this on YouTube.
When I publish the file as an AVI, the audio does not sync with the video. (The audio is slightly faster, so when I get to the 15th slide, the audio is ahead of the video.) However, when I publish to an SWF file, the audio syncs perfectly.
I had been working with Adobe Tech Support, and their feeling was that my file was corrupted. So I created a brand new file, new recordings, etc, even made this file shorter (3 minutes long), and I experienced the same problem. Deleted all non-used files. Working on the local drive, not on the network.
To troubleshoot this, we recently reformatted the hard drive on this machine, took every program off, defragmented, so the system is very lean and clean. We reinstalled Captivate and all the updates from the Adobe website links, in case our CD version of the app was corrupt.
Added more memory, so now we have 3 GIG of memory.
Running XP, the only installed programs are MS Office, Kasperski, and Captivate.
I restarted, and do not have any other program actively running (except Kasperski)
Does anyone have any experience with the same problem, or suggestions on what else I can do to fix this problem?
I will send you virtual Karma points if you can help me.
Thanks for reading this!

Hi again
Thanks for the Karma thought!
As an aside, I try to do all my banking at the First Universal Bank of Karma! W00T!
On the TTS bit I'd be totally shocked to discover it were a factor. This is because the only thing that happens with it (as near as I can tell) is that the text is converted to a WAV/MP3 file same as would occur by virtue of recording one using a microphone. So I figure a WAV is a WAV is a WAV.
Then again, I never claim to know it all about anything. Then again, I also think anyone that DOES claim to know all there is to know is either foolhardy or a pompous donkey.
Cheers and good luck! Rick

Concern in published SWF file using Presenter for PPTX

I observed that the PPT files (2003 version) which were published using Presenter 7 were creating a SWF file containing multiple frames. However the PPTX files (2007) which were published using Presenter 7 were creating a SWF file containing single frame. I am wondering how do I access a movieclip containing an animation.

Let me re-phrase.
I am loading the Presenter SWF into my Flash file (controller). Once the file is loaded I am controlling that file; I mean to say, I play/pause or jump to particular frame using the Flash file (Controller). This was working fine when I published PPT files, however when I published the PPTX file I am not getting the expected timeline animation so as to control it.
Now I am wondering how I can control the PPTX published file using my controller.
I will grateful, if someone helps me to solve this issue.

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

Cap7: Problems with Publishing .mp4 file on Mac

Hello,
Using Captivate 7 for the Mac, i imported a Power Point PPTX file, added audio tracks to the slides, and then tried to Publish it for YouTube. It did not work. After trying many different ways to publish, I realize that the published .mp4 file is zero bytes every time. I have tried all formats for you tube, as well as strait mp4. Those don't work. Publishing to html5 format works OK.
Hardward: Mac Book Pro Mid-2011
Mac OS: Lion
App: Captivate 7.0.0.118, I also updated Adobe Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Instead of re-recording the audio, you can try export/Import of audio files from Library.
You can perform it in two different ways.
1. Select all the audio files from library, Export it in some location, Import it back in the new project, and assign it to the slides accordingly
Or
You can try opening the old project's library in the new project through 'External library' option and can drag and drop audio files accordingly.
Thanks,
Nimmy Sukumaran.

Podcast Publisher supported files problem

I recently used podcast publisher and podcast capture to make a podcast. When I try to import an MP3 to podcast publisher, the file format is not supported. Why is that?

I think Apple has re-done the Podcast suite as of late. It's now called Podcast Publisher. I also have Pocast Capture that allows me to capture on remote machines and submit the content – doing this however seems to work fine for submitting it, but the content never shows up on the nominated podcast in PodcastPublisher...

Problem to publish bqy file

I have Hyperion Intelligence designer 8.5 and Hyperion Performance Suite 8.5.
A few days ago, I moved most of my bqy files from my C drive to D drive. (My C drive is full.) Today I was trying to publish one bqy file from my D drive, I got an error message “unexpected end of part”. I tried one of my bqy file still in C drive, then that file was able to publish. So I copied the bqy file I need to publish from D drive to C drive and published again. However, I got the message “unexpected end of part”. I sent this file from my D drive to the other programmer; he was able to publish the same file.
Is anybody can let me know what’s going on? I need to publish bqy files regular from my D drive.
Thank you for your help.

So are you able to open these files via designer from your D and C drives?
try opening in designer ,save it again and then try publishing
I have not seen this before so just providing my thoughts.

Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.

Is it possible to "convert" a PPT/Presenter file to Captivate and retain the audio, video, etc.?

Hi - I'm wondering if someone has done this or can recommend the best way to do this.
We have a PPT/Presenter file that was created using PPT 2010 and Presenter 9. We recorded audio for the training right in Presenter and have also imported videos into the file using Presenter.
We need to output the file to DVD to actually play on a DVD player. We know we can do that with Captivate (we are using Captivate 5) and are wondering if there is a way to take our file (the package so to speak) and get that to open in Captivate and retain all of the pieces that we have added to it (audio, video, hyperlinks).
Or, alternatively, if there is a way to publish our Presenter file to DVD format, that would work for us too.
Thank you for any information or suggestions!
Emily

Hi Emily,
Presenter contents and captivate contents are different. but you can achieve it using the following steps in presenter.
1. Open you presentation.
2. GO to Adobe Presenter>>Publish .Publish dialog will open.
3. Check the CD package checkbox and publish the content.
4. Now Goto the publish folder and burn the content on DVD.
After successfull Burn, You can play on DVD player.
I hope this will work for you. Kindly let me know if you are facing any problem.
Thanks,
Sunil
