Problems Playing a Captivate Simulation

I have published a project using Adobe Captivate. Some users have the first slide play and then the simulation automatically stops, if you press the next button in progress to the next slide but the slide stay on the screen and the audio continues. On other users computers the complete simulation plays from beginning to end with slide and audio in sequence. Any ideas or solutions.

There are actually a few different versions of Flash 10 floating around right now. One in particular caused all of us a lot of headaches some weeks back.
Are you able to get exact details on the Flash player version numbers for those that do and those that don't work?
This may not be the issue, but it's an easy one to put to bed first.  My boss used to always say: Check the easy things first.

  • Interactive Captivate simulations not working correctly in Presenter

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a fix for what appears to be a bug with
    importing interactive Captivate 2.0.0 (build 1177, originally a
    trial verson) files into Presenter 6.0.432 (in PowerPoint 2000 SP-3
    9.0.8952 on a Windows XP computer).
    The course works fine when I publish the Presenter file to My
    Computer, but doesn't work correctly when I publish to Adobe
    Connect (hosted version). What happens is that the interactive
    Captivate simulations are already done. (It seems like Presenter is
    somehow completing the simulations before the end user gets to
    those slides.)
    Each course I've created is approximately 40 slides in length
    with approximately eight Captivate demonstrations and eight
    Captivate simulations spread out through the course. (A few slides
    of content with voiceover, then a slide with a Captivate
    demonstration, then a slide with a Captivate simulation slide, etc.
    etc.)
    Captivate Project Preferences are set to:
    Advanced project compression
    508 compliance
    Compress compiled SWF file
    Publish Adobe Connect Enterprise metadata
    Captivate Publish settings are:
    (unchecked) Export HTML
    Flash Player 7
    I tried switching the Flash Version to Flash Player 8, but it
    didn't help at all, and instead caused an additional problem which
    was that the text entry part of the interactive simulations stopped
    working altogether.
    I'm inclined to think this is a problem with the Connect
    server (since the course runs fine when published to My Computer,
    just not when published to Adobe Connect), but suppose it could be
    a Captivate or Presenter issue. In any case, I'm open to whatever
    gets it fixed.
    Thanks,
    Ruth

    Thanks Art,
    I tried it, but it didn't help.
    Given TechNote #46b77621 (recommending people link to
    Captivate files rather than embed them in Presenter), and the
    problems I'm having, I'm starting to wonder if this is a known
    problem.
    If it is, it's a big one, as a major selling point of
    Presenter has been that you can embed Captivate files within the
    slides. Linking out to them would be a different experience for the
    end-user (and not as nice).
    Another problem is that the TechNote says text entries won't
    work in Captivate files embedded in Presenter (I have had some
    inconsistent issues with this). Serious feature problem if it's
    true. (As I'm sure you know, it's a very common aspect of computer
    training courses, which is what many people are using
    Presenter/Captivate for.)
    Hopefully this all gets sorted out sooner rather than later.
    (Or you never know, perhaps, hopefully, there's just something I'm
    missing. :))
    Thanks,
    Ruth

  • Captivate Simulation Tutorials

    How do I actually create a simulation in Captivate?  I can see that I can in this video around 2:08, but I cannot find a tutorial that teaches me! http://tv.adobe.com/watch/from-our-evangelist-/application-simulation/

    Hi there
    One way is to record a simulation by clicking File > Record New Software Simulation and ensuring one of the Simulation options are selected.
    The other way is to simply insert Click Boxes and Text Entry Boxes into existing slides. These objects will normally cause the project to pause and wait for the user to interact before the project continues playing. Thus "simulating" the experience of working with the application.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Problem Playing Video in Premiere Pro CS4

    I am having a problem playing video in premiere pro. When I input any movie clip and try to play it in both the timeline and in the preview mode, the audio works fine but the video only plays a few seconds worth of footage at a really slow pace so that it takes up the entire time. For instance if I load a 3 minute video, the sound is normal but over the coarse of that 3 minutes I will only see a small number of the frames and they are cycled through in ultra slow motion.
    All the clips play normally outside of premiere. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I have premiere installed on my laptop and it works fine. I have tried rendering the video first and it still doesn't work. I have tried holding shift before the program is loading and it did nothing. I have downloaded all the updates too. Videos seem to play fine in After Effects.
    Also, I am having trouble when importing HD video into premiere and after effects. For some reason the programs freeze when I try to import footage from my Creative Vado HD pocket video camera.
    Here are my computer specs
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit
    Intel Core2 Quad q8200
    ATI Radeon 4670 Graphics Card
    Gigabyte Motherboard
    4GB of 800 Mhz RAM
    This is really frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Keith,
    The file extension .AVI indicate a "wrapper." All sorts of stuff can be in that wrapper *. Some of that stuff will play/edit fine. Much will not and create issues, as you have seen. Your camera uses a CODEC to create those .AVI files. That CODEC is the issue. I recommend G-Spot to find out what the CODEC is. Some times it's just a matter of having the proper CODEC installed on the computer. Most of the time, it takes much more than that - hence Eddie's links on "conversion." At least G-Spot will get us all on the same playing field, and explicit help can follow - probably to study Eddie's links. My guess is that your camera uses some form of DivX CODEC, hence the problem that you see.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    * Think of .AVI like the foil wrapper on a stick of gum, when you remove the outer lable. You know it's gum, but not what flavor. Could be Juicyfruit, or Spearmint, or Double-mint. G-Spot will tell you the flavor. PrPro likes some flavors, but hates others.

  • Creative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AAC

    GCreative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AACZ All right, this is driving me nuts. I have a Zen 32GB and a Vista 32-bit machine. I have been encountering a lot of problems playing AAC files on my Zen--many of the tracks stop short, and the error message "There is a problem playing this audio" appears.
    These are AAC files that I ripped off my own CDs using iTunes, so there are no DRM issues. ? I'm not sure if the problem lies in the actual ripping process (although the problem tracks play on my iPod without problem), the importing into my Zen using Zen Media Explorer, or my Zen trying to play the tracks. I've tried turning off my antivirus program, as well as checking the box in iTunes that double-checks for audio errors after ripping. I thought at first that it could be related to scratched CDs, but it also happens with pristine CDs.
    I have latest firmware (.2.03) installed, and also the latest version of Zen Media Explorer.
    I've searched this forum as well as Google for this exact error message, and don't get any related hits. Can anyone out there help me? Please?

    Thanks for that response--I was beginning to feel a little neglected. It's disappointing, though--one of the reasons I bought the Zen was because it advertised AAC compatibility, so that I could have just one library of AAC files for my iPod and Zen, instead of entirely duplicate libraries of AAC and WMA files. Most of the AAC files I've imported into the Zen play fine--I just have to check all of the tracks to see which ones have that audio error. Usually, if I re-import the track, it comes out fine (eventually).

  • Problems playing mp3s after installing iTunes 7.1

    I installed iTunes 7.1 today. After that, I have problems playing mp3 songs on my iPod (80 GB). The AAC-files play well. The mp3 songs can also be played on iPod via iTunes when its connected to my computer, but when I disconnect from the computer, the mp3 songs starts, and play for about 2 second, and then jumps to the end of the song and stop.
    Very thankful for any help.

    that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)

  • Problem playing Audio CD (.cda files) on Windows Vista

    Hey,
    I am having problems playing an Audio CD. On XP everything is working fine. On Vista, the files seem to be playing, but I am not getting any sound (playing .wav files for example is also no problem, it's just the cda files from an audio cd).
    This problem does not only occur in my own code, also the JMStudio application produces no sound playing tracks from the cd.
    Is there anything that needs to be configured in Vista in order to make that work?
    Thanks a lot,
    sirpreis

    I should point out there's no such thing as playing a CDA file. CDA files are simply indexing information about where to find the actual track data on the disk.
    My best guess is that Vista's sandbox won't let Java go and fetch the actual audio tracks from the CD, because it's more restrictive than Vistas.
    Other good guesses would including that whatever native code JMF uses to fetch CD audio works in XP but it doesn't work in Vista. That would certainly make sense...
    If JMStudio doesn't work, your code probably wont ever work either. Sorry :-/

  • Problems playing movies from Time Capsule

    I am having a problem playing movies from my Time Capsule to my Apple TV. I can make them work but have to go through the following process: I have to play the movie through iTunes and then stop it, and then go play the movie on apple TV. I have to do this each time I want to watch one of the movies. Any thoughts on this issue?

    Hopefully this information will help. I have an aiport extreme connected directly to my Cable Modem. I then setup the Time Capsule to extend the network updstairs. I have everything running on 802.11n. Wireless connection is great and I get about 13-14mb download speeds when I do a speedtest.
    I must say though, copying data to the Timecapsue via wireless is slow...
    I checked my apple TV this morning, and the first movie I clicked on worked great, so did the second one, then I tried a third and got the following error: "The Selected Video could not be played. The Format was not recognized"
    Then I went back to play the original two that worked, and they now gave me the same error... it almost looks like it is looking connection to them, or synching or something..

  • Final Cut Pro Problem playing and exporting

    I am having problem playing and exporting in final cut pro. I made an animation in maya and used batch render to render a folder of images then imported the folder to final cut pro but it doesn’t play properly in the video window or even when I exported to quicktime. Do u know why?
    Please give me your response asap.
    Thank you very much!

    As the link that Russ posted describes, use quicktime player to open the image sequence and then do a save.  Bringing in an image sequence directly into fcp will cause extreme performance problems in my experience. 
    Describe the setting (pixel dimensions, color space, etc) of the original files.  One important question is whether there is an alpha channel associated with the files.  You may want to change the codec when you do the save in quicktime player to something more fcp friendly like one of the flavors of prores.

  • Front Row: problems playing WMV files

    I’m running a Macbookpro OSX 10.5.7, and have been working to config Front Row to play the movies on my hard drive (not in iTunes). I’ve installed both flip4mac and Perian in order to play all file types. This works great for QuickTime and the web. Front Row, however, has a problem playing my wmv files (all others play fine). When a wmv file is selected in FR, it only plays for a few seconds, then stops and returns to the movie list. I researched the solution provided by VideoDrive, which works, but I prefer to organize my videos into subfolders by category, rather than all in an alpha list in iTunes.
    If I play a wmv in it’s entirety in Quicktime, it will then play in Front Row. This tells me it’s some sort of cache issue? My attempt to test this theory has been inconclusive, prob due to my ignorance.
    Troubleshooting to date has been:
    Quitting FR from the Activity Monitor
    Deleting user/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
    Uninstalling and reinstalling flip4mac
    Installing Perian
    Would prefer not to have to rip all of my video to mp4 (I use iSquint), but I’m out of ideas.
    Apologies in advance if this is covered elsewhere.

  • Problem playing remote live stream from FMS

    Hello all,
    I'm having problems playing remote live streams from FMS (server-side) that I can play with any other player (client-side)
    Example of server-side application which plays a remote live stream:
    nc = new NetConnection();
    nc.connect("rtmp://remoteserver/live");
    stream = Stream.get("localStream");
    stream.play("remoteStream.flv", -1, -1, true, nc);
    This code works only sometimes.
    Most of the times, FMS is able to connect to remote string and the localStream dispatches events:
       NetStream.Publish.Strart
       NetStream.Play.Reset
    In this case, FMS is publishing the local stream but it is not playing the remoteStrem on it.
    The rest of the times, localStream dispatches events:
       NetStream.Publish.Strart
       NetStream.Play.Reset
       NetStream.Play.Start
       NetStream.Data.Start
    In this case FMS plays the remoteStream correctly.
    Any hint to solve this issue?
    Regards.

    Thanks, I tried your code and it works when playing a remote live stream on another FMS.
    But the remote live stream is not on a FMS but on a Wowza Server which re-streams an RTSP stream over RTMP.
    With this code:
    var nc;
    var myStream;
    application.onAppStart = function(){
         nc = new NetConnection();
         myStream = Stream.get("localstream");
         myStream.onStatus= function(info){
               trace(info.code);
         nc.onStatus = function(info){
               trace (info.code);
               if(info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success" ){
                    myStream.play("remoteLive.sdp", -1, -1, true, nc);
         nc.connect("rtmp://remoteServer/live");
    Every live stream player I tried was able to play the remote stream "remoteLive.sdp", but FMS play it only sometimes. This is the output log of the FMS application:
    NetConnection.Connect.Success
    NetStream.Publish.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset        <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
    Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
    NetConnection.Connect.Success
    NetStream.Publish.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset        <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
    Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
    NetConnection.Connect.Success
    NetStream.Publish.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset
    NetStream.Play.Start         <--------------------------------- Stream is playing just fine
    NetStream.Data.Start
    Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
    NetConnection.Connect.Success
    NetStream.Publish.Start
    NetStream.Play.Reset       <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
    Any idea? Why FMS won't play it everytime?
    Regards
