Publishing to Flash 9 in Captivate 3

Hello,
I have created individual projects that link to each other
via buttons etc...
If I compile each project in Flash 9 the buttons won't work,
but if I do it in Flash 7 it works fine.
In each button with this functionality, I put the name of the
.htm file to be opened.
Anyone come across this before or am I missing something?
Thanks

Extra Info**
The error seems to be when you launch the application using
the .htm file. If you use the .swf file it seems to work fine.
Flash 7 works using either file.
Thanks

Is there any way to publish to Flash 9 in Captivate 7.

I have created 10 simulations for a project to be embedded into an elearning module. Problem is the module has been developed using Flash 9 and I have used Captivate 7 to build the sims - and it only publishes to Flash 10, 10.2 or 11.
I have tried exporting to CS6 as a .fla file, opening in Captivate 6 and publishing in Flash 9 - works in principle but the majority of the screenshots are missing and only some of the captions display.
Any ideas? so I don't have to re build the sims and my developer doesn't have to re do the module?

Cp6 can publish to Flash 9. Some Cp7 presentations can be opened in Cp6. In a pinch you might get away with publishiing to Flash 9 from Cp6.

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.

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...

Does anyone know a fix for video being out of sync after publishing to Flash in Captivate 6?

I'm working in Captivate 6.0.2.325 on Mac OS 10.6.8. My Captivate file is just 10 slides, and 2 of them contain talking-head style video clips 30 - 40 seconds long.
Everything looks fine in Preview, but when I publish to Flash the video segments appear choppy and the audio is badly out of sync.
Also, I have one slide where the audio does not play after publishing, though it plays in Preview. It's a widget slide.
I have tried the fixes suggested in this forum. My Preferences slider is slid all the way to retain slide quality etc. I've tried changing Flash versions and forcing re-publishing of slides. I've tried copying all my slides into a new file. No luck.
I have spent approximately 6 hours trying to resolve this problem and I'm about at the end of my rope, so any suggestions will be much appreciated! I will have to insert LOTS more video segments to complete this project.
Thank you!

Thank you, Rod!
While researching frame rate I came across this helpful blog posting: Crazy about Captivate: Lessons Learned: Video and Resolution in Adobe Captivate
This is the line that caught my attention: "I discovered, after several experiments, that if you publish a course in Captivate as SCALABLE with a video inserted, no matter what the resolution, it makes the video look pixelated."
When I unclick the "scalable HTML content" button before publishing, the video is fine!
Big sigh of relief! Now I just need to figure out why audio won't play on one of the slides (it has an accordian widget, if that's relevant) and why I can no longer use Effects (I get the message, "Effect file is not valid")

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.

Background audio not adjusting after project is paused when published to Flash. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I'm working with:
Captivate 6
Mac OS X 10.8.2
Flash Player is updated to most recent version
My project contains background audio music set to adjust to slide audio. When I publish to Flash the background audio adjusts appropriately until I pause the video and then resume. Once the video resumes the background audio no longer adjusts to slide audio. So basically anytime a learner pauses the video and then resumes the background audio drowns the slide audio out. I've tried this with multiple projects and get the same result.
When I publish in HTML5 it works fine. But I cannot use HTML5 because my project contains necessary rollover objects and captions, slide transitions, text animations, and other effects that HTML5 does not support.
I've to remove and re-add the background audio, uninstall and reinstall Captivate, adjust the background and slide volume levels, uncheck loop audio, and pretty much any audio settings and publish settings I can think of.
Can someone else with the same OS and Captivate version try and see if they encounter the same problem when publishing to Flash?
Or does anyone have a solution/workaround?
Thank You!

Hi folks
Sorry, I don't have a fix to offer. Only an observation. I'm rather surprised to see this many folks actually USING background audio. I say that, because I have facilitated hundreds of Captivate classes over the years. And there are lots of folks with Instructional Design background that attend. And in so many of the classes, when we reach the audio section and we cover how to use Background Audio, the same comment is made.
The comment is that generally speaking, it is their opinion that from an Instructional Design standpoint, background music is a "no no" and should be avoided because it detracts from the learning objective.
Perhaps the link below will help.

Flash animations in Captivate look choppy

I am using Flash animations in Captivate 3. The animations
are published to Flash Player 6 before being embedded in Captivate.
The Captivate project is in turn published to Flash Player 9.
The animations look good in the published Captivate SWF when
I run the SWF directly in Flash Player. However, if I run the SWF
in a browser (I tried both IE & Firefox, having Flash Player
9.0.45.0), the animations look very choppy and slow. What could be
the reason?
Regards,
Mohsin

Kevin & Rick,
Thanks for your responses. I diagnosed the problem. It did
not have anything to do with frame rates.
What was actually happening is that my Captivate SWF was
1024x768 originally, but when opening it in an HTML, I was NOT
loading it at 100% of its size. Instead, I was loading it at
880x660 in the OBJECT tag of my HTML, which was causing the issue.
Even when I would open the SWF directly using IE, IE would resize
the content in order to display it completely, thereby causing the
animations playing within to rescale. This, somehow, made them look
choppy.
Cheers!
Mohsin

Importing Flash Animation into Captivate

I am trying to Import an animation from flash 8 into
Captivate. It allows me to do this however the frame rate of the
animation which was created in flash when imported to Captivate
changes. Does anyone know how change the frame rate of the
animation in captivate.

Hi laxmi1 and welcome to the community
Hopefully when you created your Flash animation, you
published as Flash 6 output.
I believe the standard frame rate for Flash is 12. Captivate
is 30. So you can either bump the Flash rate up to 30 and
re-publish, or in Captivate, you can adjust the frame rate to match
Flash and set it for 12. To do this, click Movie >
Preferences... > Preferences tab. From there, it should be quire
obvious what to do.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Okay, the problem is when I publish the .swf files and put it in an html or .aspx page, it does not work. The audio is not there and a few others things ar enot working. However, it does work if I click on the.html file that Flash created during the publication.
Here are the folder structions:
www.mysite.com/myFlashPage.aspx
www.mysite.com/flashFileFolder/
www.mysite.com/flashFileFolder/audioFiles/
So, the myFlashPage.aspx containsthe myFlash.swf file that is inside the flashFileFolder. For some reason, it does not work. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

The .html file does work if I publish it into the same folder as I created the Flash project. However, when I publish the
flash .swf to my web site folder (mapped), it's no longer working. The mapped web site drive structher are as follows:
D:\Mysite\ contains the .html file
D:\Mysite\flashFileFolder\ contains the .swf file
D:\Mysite\flashFileFolder\audioFiles contains the PaukenBrumfiel_AngelsOnHigh.mp3 file
D:\Mysite\flashFileFolder\greensock-tweening-platform-as3 contains all the tweenlite files
The .html file does not work either. What else do I need to change?

Help:How to publish a Flash with full screen HTML

Please, guys, be kind enough to teach me how to publish a
Flash with full screen size in HTML. I have tried to search the
board, but so far no luck.
Originally, I want my .SWF to keep changing its background.
The solution I got was placing colored stage-sized rectangles on
the bottom layer. Then I don't want the viewers to see the HTML
area where I cannot seem to control smooth color changes.
So, after I construct a Flash file with backdrop-color
changing by the method I mentioned above, how do I publish it with
full screen mode in HTML, as you can see
here? Help!
Thanks in advance, guys.

Here's an AS2 and a AS3 version I got from David Stiller
2 small details you have to add 1 in publish settings set Dimensions to percent 100 100
and in the html set <style>body {margin: 0; padding: 0}</style>
// AS2
import flash.display.BitmapData;
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
function fillBG():Void {
beginBitmapFill(tile);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
fillBG();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onResize = fillBG;
Stage.addListener(listener);
// AS3
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
var bmp:Tile = new Tile(50, 50);
var tile:BitmapData = new BitmapData(50, 50);
tile.draw(bmp);
function fillBG(evt:Event = null):void {
graphics.beginBitmapFill(tile);
graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, 0);
graphics.endFill();
fillBG();
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, fillBG);

When importing a flash animation into captivate flash will not call external files

Is there a way to import flash into captivate and it still be able to call external files (ie. sound, video xml)? When I import flash into captivate it will not call any external file.

Hi all
Wow, I was so hoping fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst would pop in on this thread.
Why? Well, Paul sent me a way cool gizmo a while back that hacked the Info button. It used an external file for some of the information! So somehow Paul managed to sort what it took to insert a Flash object into Captivate and have that object extract data from an externally located file.

Dynamic text not displaying when publishing for flash 8

This dynamic text works fine when the movie is published for
flash 7, but when i export for the flash 8 player it seems to be
invisible. Is there any obvious reason for this happenning?
thanks
jon

Ok, thanks, looks like you've pointed me in the right
direction. I havent fixed it yet though. Heres where i am at:
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.embedFonts = false;
now i can see my text. of course its using a default font.
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "arial14b";
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.embedFonts = true;
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.text = "wasssup?";
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.setTextFormat = my_fmt;
this isnt working. I have added a font object to the library
and linked it for actionscript using the monkier "arial14b".
however my text is quite invisible. i have checcked, 'export in
first frame' for the font object i even tried it with this
deselected. i have deselected the embed font option on the text
feild itself. that doesnt work either (unless i dont try to set the
text format, so long as i accept a default font, its fine).
so err, help?
confused
jon
ps further to this is have discovered more about this strange
behaviour. i can set the text to a different string, provided i do
not try to embed the font in any way. if i set the font to embed, i
can have the text display with the correct font, until i change the
text. then it dissappears. also i cannot seem to affect properties
like font size by means of my TextFormat object. the textFormat
object also does not seem to affect the font of the text.
in short, when exporting for flash 8, i cannot seem to
successfully embed fonts for dynamic text. the only thigs i have
gotten to work are: static text (or a dynamic text feild with
unchanged text) with an embedded font, or dynamic text with a
default font.

Preloader for Acrobat 3D PDFs without publishing to flash

Hi,
Is there anyway I can make pre-loaders natively for Acrobat 3d without having to publish to flash? Some of the .pdf files can get pretty big with the 3d objects and I'd like to have a loading bar for them. Is this possible without flash?

Publishing for flash player 9

How do I publish for flash player 9? using macromedia mx
2004

you simply cant until flash 9 (authoring tool) comes out. MX
2004 was developed in 2004 - we are
almost in 2007 and flash 9 player has been released - but for
now it is to penetrate the market and
insure backward compatability - none of us can author any
flash 9 content until the flash 9 tool is
released - what are you wanting to do in flash 9 that cant be
done in flash 8? nobody is developing
for flash 9 right now because it doesnt exist as a tool yet.
