Publish Aggregator flash file in version 8?

I would like to use the aggregator in Captivate 4 as a menu to link several tutorials together. However, my company uses Flash Player version 8 (PCs are locked down and NO ONE is allowed to upgrade anything). This is no problem with the individual tutorials - I've published them using version 8 and they all work fine. But I can't seem to find a way to specify what version the aggregator flash file is published in. Is there a way to publish it to version 8 instead of version 10 (10 is what I use - but not the rest of the company).
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi there
Is your post intended to say you have tested with an aggregator file and it fails on your Flash 8 players?
Cheers... Rick

The window title bar displays incorrectly after publishing a flash file. Captivate 4

When I open the .htm file after using the Flash option to publish, the wrong title displays in the title bar at the top of Internet Explorer's window; instead it displays a former file name. I was told that the window name is determined by the field located here: File> Document Info> Project Name; however, this is not the case on my PC. My coworker is able to publish it correctly, but I am not. The first picture below is the IE title bar and the second is where (I think) that title bar pulls from, Project Name. Please notice that mine differ. Any suggestions?

I've run into this issue in CP4 as well though I've never been sure why it happens. It looks like you're opening the swf through a browser to so, for want of a solution, the easiest workaround is the edit the html file.
open it in a text editor such as Notepad.
Five or six lines down you'll find the title element which defines the title as it will display in your browser titlebar: <title>This text is the title that displays in your browser title bar</title>
Just change the text the the title you want and save the html file.
If you go with this solution, I suggest that when you are publishing the project again you deselect the option "Export HTML" in the publish wondow. Otherwise you will have to edit your html file each time you publish.
Hope this helps.

Problems trying to publish a flash file with flv component onto a dreamweaver site

Hi, I posted this on the flash forum too, but maybe here is
more appropriate....
if anyone can help me out with this, I would really
appreciate it. I have put a flv file into a flash document,
published it for progressive downloading (the video lasts about 4
minutes) all seems fine when I test the movie.
I then wanted to embed it into my website. Everything seems
fine there too, except that when I preview it in a browser, it
looses its skin.
I copied the swf file and the skin into my remote server
along with the flv file that is placed in the swf.
However when i upload the page, there is no video.......
Is the file to big? Or have I done something wrong. Is there
a script that I'm supposed to do?
Sorry to seem stupid, I'm learning as I go along from the
help topics, and I cant seem to find my answer,
Thanks
John

It had me puzzled too until I realised I had exceeded the
amount of webspace my ISP had granted me. By uploading a FLV file
to my ISP, I had exceeded the 100mb they grant me for nothing. It
was tricky to work this out because there didn't seem to be any
indication that the flv file hadn't uploaded.
Check your webspace allocation to see if it's the same
problem.

Help me publish/export CS3 Flash file as Quicktime Video, no controller

I am working on a simple timeline animation and would like to publish/export my flash file as a quicktime file with out the default controller. I can export it no problem with the controller. Also I tried publishing it as a QuickTime with Flash Track (.mov) and I get this error message. "QuickTime does not support Adobe Flash track beyond Flash version 5. You can however, export a QuickTime move with Flash rendered as video by selecting File > Export > Export Movie.
Also, does anyone know if transparencies are ok if publishing as a QuickTime movie?

QuickTime 7.3.1, and higher, no longer support Flash (.swf) in playback. Previous versions did allow .swf format as a muxed "track" if "Published" from Flash applications as version 5, or lower.
To turn off the controller (none) use the Movie Properties / Presentation tab.
QuickTime does allow levels of transparency and also "alpha channels" in most image formats that support them (.png).

Captivate 3 publish as Flash no swf files in folder

My colleague created a Captivate 3 file with audio voice over. After publishing to Flash file, the View output button was grayed out and no files in the output folder. Please help.

Hi there
Glad to hear the issue is solved. Yes, full screen is seldom (if ever) a good idea.
WRT: Please think Green. Do you really need to print this email?
I plan on terribly inconveniencing some electrons with this message...

How do i play my videos in flash file after moving SWF file to website?

Hello all,
I am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
Does anyone know how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.
Sorry if I've waffled but I'm trying to clear up my situation .
Any help would be super, many thanks,
Flasher87

i am using the website wix, so in order to put the swf file up you just click the "Upload SWF" button, so i don't know how i could put the videos along with the swf, the swf is just sat on the page once i upload it.
second, when using this type of website do you know how i'd go about giving the website the permissions to play flv files?
Thank you.

How do I turn video smoothing on for projects that I publish to Flash?

I am using Captivate 7. I have an MP4 that is places on a slide. I am publishing to Flash. I have set everything to the highest quality and have turned off all compression. Due to contstraines in our delivery system I must limit the playback size by editing the HTML file after it has been plublished (I dont have a choice in this and I have to use Flash). So the problem is that when the player is resized the video quality is very poor in the flash output. If I simply play the MP4 outside of flash I can cleanly resize the window. It appears that video smoothing is not turned on in when Captivte publishes a Flash file. Anyone know a script or setting to turn this feature on in the resulting flash file? As a side note before I got here they used Camtasia and it used video smoothing by default. So Im trying to get the same look. As a test I took the same mp4 (newly created by me) and droped in into one of their old Camtasia flash folders and it looked fine. So I know it is something that Captivate is not doing the way I want it too. Any help?

From your end, it is likely you cannot. Some cellular providers do not allow anything other than simple SMS, or the person you wish to message may not have elected to include those feature, or have them turned off. It has nothing to do with any settings or capability on your phone.

Can you share flash files in the cloud?

Is there a version control as well?

Yes you can share Flash files. Currently there is no image rendition for flash files.
Version control is available for all files uploaded whether through file syncing or uploading from a web browser. From the browser choose the option to Replace the current version.

Placing an image on top of a flash file

Is there a way to keep a image on top of a flash file? When I
place it on top then publish the flash file jumps in front of the
pic when it plays.
What I am trying to do is place a border around the window. I
can't just shrink the flash file down because this great program
causes errors with the flash content.

There is no way to keep an image on top of a Flash file.
Having said that, we do a couple things to get around that:
1: add the border to the flash file-- when we're creating
swfs for Breeze in Captivate or Flash itself, we add the highlight
or border there
2: Add the border to a file that rests behind the flash file
and make the flash file fit
It sounds as if you've tried the second, but with no success.
I 've never had a problem resizing swfs that I've imported into ppt
through Breeze Presenter. I sthat the issue you're having?

Trying to make sure my flash file doesn't require flash 11

im working in cs5.5 flash and i published my flash file with flash player 9 and then added it in a dreamweaver file; uploaded everything to my site and it asks me to download flash player 11.

This is a TV commercial ... so is there video content in
this file? You
may indeed be pausing the timeline, but if your video content
appears inside
a movie clip, it may continue to play anyway, since movie
clips have their
own, independent timelines.
Need more information.
A quick reference to the global stop()
function, though, in a keyframe of any timeline, will stop
the timeline it's
in.

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version does not have. If i publish to Flash QMP does not see the file.

Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!
Thanks

Fullscreen published in flash - htm 100% width and height file is too big

Hello everyone
I need some help to create a fullcreen flash animation inside
dreamweaver.
What I did was to create a html file published in flash 100%
width and height.
It worked well on my explorer browser, but the size of the
file is 995 k and this would be my index.
When I publish on my provider the file doesn't open, probably
is too big as an index, i don't know.
Is there anyone there that could help me on that one?

Well, firstly you have > 60 minutes of video, therefore, you should not use the 60 minute preset. Since you have 80 minutes of video, you're probably better off using the 90 minute preset.
Secondly, the presets assume that you are compressing your audio to AC3 with A.pack or Compressor 2 (depending on which version of DVDSP you're using). Uncompressed audio takes up lots of disc space and bandwidth.
Thirdly, the difference between the measured size in the Finder and the size in DVDSP is the difference between true gigabytes (how the Finder measures things) and billions of bytes (how DVDSP measures things). When you Get Info in the Finder, look at the number following the file size in GB... it's a larger number that's so many billions of bytes. This larger number should agree with the number you see in DVDSP. See the DVD FAQ for a discussion of this issue.

Flash file stuck in a "low quality" mode when published to intranet

Hi All,
New to captivate..the issue I am having is that after
publishing to a flash file, I'd like to have others in my firm
review the course prior to it going live in our LMS. However, for
some reason the quality of the movie is very low, although I have
the html script (a little new to that as well) set to have the
quality=best. The worst areas are the caption boxes, the text looks
awful. The rest I can live with, however it makes our work look
horrible to our business partners.
Things I've done:
1) Loaded a Flash-sourced movie to the intranet to see if it
has the same quality issue. It doesn't.
2) Looked at the captivate published movie in the html file
captivate generated- it looks fine there.
Anyone else run across this issue? It seems to be something
with the way captivate publishes the file. Not sure though, I'm not
a programmer by any stretch.
Thanks,
Jason

Welcome to our community, Jason
From what you are describing, I am concluding that you are
perhaps simply sending the .SWF along via E-Mail for review?
If so, you need to know that if you do this, it will scale to
fit whatever the browser size is. And when that happens, the
quality will suffer. Exactly how much suffering occurs depends on
how much things are scaling.
The best approach is to upload the files to a web server or
to a network server. Then provide a link to the HTML page Captivate
created.
Cheers... Rick
