Quiz in Preview vs Publish in Captivate 8

When I preview a projected in Captivate 8, the quiz portion works as it should: I can answer the questions and they are calculated normally.
When I publish, however, the project does not allow me to answer any of the questions--it moves through them, and even if i do manage to answer a question and hit submit, it doesn't record it. It looks like the slides have a default 3-second duration, and when published the slide moves on automatically instead of allowing me to read the question, answer it, and click submit.
In between preview and publishing I am not making any changes to the setting. I get the same result viewing it uploaded to SharePoint (so others scan view and provide feedback on the project prior to uploading it to the LMS) and when I open it locally from my computer.
I've tried looking through the forums here to find anything that's similar, but came up short. Any help or direction would be appreciated!

I'll take a look for the pausing point.
I unchecked Back and Clear, and the only thing I deleted was the name of the slide (multiple choice, etc). I left everything else as is. It works perfectly fine in Preview, which is what's got me confused.
I have another module I created simultaneously, with a quiz as well, and that one also works totally fine when published and uploaded to SharePoint.
Yesterday, I tried deleting all the quiz components and redoing it from scratch, and this time I didn't modify anything save for the font and unchecking the boxes I didn't need, and ended up with the same result. So I'm very confused as to how one module works fine and the other one does not.
I did notice on upload this time that one of the program files didn't upload properly (project.json). The second module doesn't even HAVE that file type. Both were developed at the same time, with extremely similar components. The only differences are the audio and pictures.

  • Captivate 6 project will not preview or publish in Captivate 7

    I have a project created in Captivate 6 that will not preview or publish in Captivate 7. I can make edits to it and save in Captivate 7 though. Does anyone know what may be occurring here?

    Preview from this slide does nothing, and does not show an error message.
    When I try to publish to SWF I get this message:

  • Font issues when in preview or publishing project (Captivate 4)

    I am continuing to experience problems with fonts in my projects.
    As a standard, I am only using Verdana 11 pt and 10 pt in my slides. This standard/consistancy is quite evident when I am viewing the slides in edit view. However, when I preview or publish the project, the text from slide to slide is not consistant.
    It appears as through some slides display Vendana slightly squished... it is clearly Vendana just reduced in height. I have tried various options, such as setting the quality mode and so far,nothing has helped.
    Please see the attachment, which should better illustrate what I am describing. Each of the five 100% cropped screen captures are from separate slides and I have combined them into one jpg.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Shawn
    Sorry I didn't see this before you went to the trouble of deleting the dat file. I would have speculated this would have had no difference whatsoever.
    It's common to see folks report issues with Transparent captions. Normally the report is that the captions are "blurry" or "fuzzy". Usually it's because of anti-aliasing. There are ways past it.
    Fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst initially discovered that if you simply highlight one blank character using the color #C0C0C0 the caption would render without anti-aliasing.
    Later we discovered that if the caption had a bullet point anywhere in the text, it would render without anti-aliasing. That seems simpler to me than using the highlight. What you do is just add a few blank lines, apply the bullet to the last line, then size the caption so you don't see the bullet. (assuming, of course, that you had no bullets elsewhere. In that case it would be unnecessary to do this)
    The Captivate developers added in an option where you may enable/disable anti-aliasing globally. This is done via Edit > Preferences > Project > SWF Size and Quality.
    Hopefully something there was helpful... Rick

  • Publish/Preview not working in Captivate 4

    Hello,
    One of the people on my team suddenly cannot preview or publish a Captivate project.  She has been working on several projects and has not had an issue until recently.  We have taken the project files to another computer and tried previewing and publishing them there, and we are able to preview and publish them without any problem.  So it seems the problem is on her end.
    We have tried re-booting the laptop and even re-installing Captivate, but she continues to have the issue.
    We are running Captivate 4 on a Windows XP environment.  We all have 4GB of RAM installed.
    Thanks for any insight or help you can give.
    Tim

    We got the "Adobe Captivate could not open ".cp" because of permission error”  message and were unable to open our file.  We solved this by moving the file to a local drive and working on it from there.
    Prior and subsequent to this, we were also unable to preview or publish our file.  We solved the Preview problem by creating a new blank presentation and importing slides three by three. After each lot of imports we checked to ensure the presentation was able to be previewed. 
    Just when we thought we’d solved it, however, it then still failed to Publish!
    (Along the way we’d also tried replacing the user profile, opening it on a different PC, turning off Auto Play and changing the Preloader and deleting all text captions.)
    Finally we created a copy of our presentation, and starting from the end went through and deleted slides one by one, attempting to publish after each deletion.   After deleting approximately 10 slides we isolated the corrupt culprit and were able to delete it from the original presentation and replace it.

  • On preview or publish captivate 4 plays all animations

    Hello,
    I have a weird problem.  I have two slides that previously ran well on preview and publish.  First, I tried importing them into my presentationg, but captivate went crazy with them...it seemed to try to play all of my text animations at once, made weird clicking sounds, the tool bar moved to the top of the screen and the whole thing just flashed.  So, I deleted the two imported slides and the presentation went fine.  I found a posting here that suggested copying the slides instead of importing, so i tried that.  No luck.  So I rebuilt the two slides and tried  again.  No luck.  I can get the two slides to run fine when by themselves, but when I either put them into my main project or vice versa, it goes wacky.  After such attempts, I have to rebuild the slides, because they no longer work by themselves.  I have checked every setting I can think of to make sure they match in both files (I start with a template, so they SHOULD match).
    I have adequate RAM and other such things on my computer.  I run windows 7 and have updated captivate.
    Thank you anyone for your help.

    I had the same problem, where graphics (images) placed on a page are simply NOT WYSIWYG. That said, it turns out the internal mechanisms of MUSE do track the position of things, and so, by, for example, placing an image ON TOP OF TEXT can solve its location issue. You simply adjust based on reviewing the HTML/CSS. It's a bit hit and miss. The resultant HTML and CSS will place the image correctly, even though it looks awful onscreen. This problem seems to occur in longer length (scroll down) type pages.
    Now THAT said, another problem: MUSE does not UPLOAD ALL, but always uploads only new files. Problems on web review of a site disappear (and this of course, could involve the server used) disappear, for the most part, when you manually delete BOTH the HTML and CSS of the particular page FIRST, then MANUALLY, through a third party FTP program, upload the good HTML and CSS. This assumes you have already uploaded the required media.

  • Captivate 4 previewing and publishing issues

    I downloaded and installed Captivate 4 on my computer. I'm a
    current user of Captivate 3. I imported one of my projects into
    Captivate 4, but when I try to Preview or Publish the project
    nothing happens.
    When I published the project to HTML, it only created the
    "standard.js", "ProjectName.htm" and "ProjectName.swf". I'm
    wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue with Captivate 4
    and how I can fix it.
    BTW, I just checked, and this only happens with the project
    that was created using Captivate 3.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ricardo

     Had the same problem on coverting from cp3 to 4, getting the "Exception EConvertError in module converter.dll at 0000BBF3".
    I had 8 files to convert. 4 worked fine and 4 did not, ie got the error msg above. 1 of those that didnt work did convert after retrying the process several times. As for the others this is what i did:
    1. launch the cp3 file in cp4
    2. when asked to save as new version do so, as a new name obv
    3. cp4 will then ATTEMPT to convert the file and you will soon see the Application Error
    4. close cp4 and launch the file you created in step 2
    5. now cp4 will launch and coninue the process it ATTEMPTED in step 3, you will again be asked to convert the file. do so again. this time however it should FINISH the process for you.
    6. cuss under your breath that cp4 should have done this for you in first place and you have lost hours of work.
    7. then cuss again that cp4 doesnt have the drag and drop question type that includes option for images.
    8. but then praise cp4 that it does however have the right-click functionality.
    hope it works for you :-)
    @_toll you are a genius. I've lost 5 hours worth of work trying to resolve the same issue. One more note to add to your instructions is that I found that (step 2) the message asking you to "Save As" pops up behind the Cp4 screen. So if you are stuck in "Reading Project" mode check to see if there is a pop-up message behind.
    Uuuuuggggghhhh, Adobe why are you so hard to get along with?!?!

  • Captivate preview and publish text does not match slide. (Magic Shrinking Text)

    The text size on the Captivate slide matches the PowerPoint. So far so good.
    When I preview (or publish) the SCORM module, the text shows up as a smaller size and moved to the left. I don't understand why it doesn't match the original captivate slide. It seems like it's arbitrarily shrinking some of the text. (Other slides come across just fine.)

  • Preview and Publish Problems

    When I only have a few slides in a Captivate file - it will
    preview and publish fine. When I have more than a few slides in
    Captivate it will only preview and publish the first few seconds of
    each slide.
    Help!

    Welcome to our community, Allison
    Can you give us more detail?
    * How many slides total are we talking about?
    * What are you seeing that is telling you that only a few
    seconds are there?
    * Do the slides show then disappear? Or do they pause and you
    don't see the rest if you click somewhere?
    * How did you record? (Demonstration, Simulation, Full
    Motion)
    Hopefully with more information we might offer suggestions...

  • Jigsaw puzzle shows up weird in preview and publish. Help!

    I'm using a trial version of Captivate 8, and I added a Jigsaw Puzzle interaction, with no funky settings. I didn't resize or even move the interaction either. It's sitting in the middle of my slide.
    However, whenever I preview or publish, the many of the pieces of the puzzle are scattered off-screen and I can't even see them, let alone move then in order to complete the puzzle.
    Here's a sample of my preview (the puzzle is supposed to have 16 pieces). Doesn't look any better in the "1024" view.
    Did anyone else encounter this? Or know how to fix it?

    Interesting...you're right! I can finally see all of the pieces.
    I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that hint picture though. I unchecked the "hint" box but it's still there.
    Thanks!

  • Publish Failed: Captivate 6.1, Mac OSX 10.8.5

    I am experiencing the dreaded and unhelpful "Publish Failed" error message as well. I receive the message only when I am publishing a project with a quiz; projects without quizzes publish without any issue. I am publishing only to SWF output. I am running the latest build of Captivate: 6.1.0.319. I'm running a MacBook Pro Retina on OSX 10.8.5.
    Reading through similar previous threads, I saw mention of a file named "Default.html" to be found in ../Publish/SCORM/Default/1_2.
    But the file I find residing there is named "Default_HTML5.html". I don't know if this makes any difference.
    I have deleted the plist file as well. Still no joy.
    Please, I am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    Hi There,
    Greetings from Adobe.
    Please try the below steps and see if it works for you:
    It seems that Defaul.htm is missing from your SCORM folder . I am sending you the Zip file. Please unzip it and replace it with the SCROM folder already located on Captivate installed location. Please follow the below steps:
    Download the zip file from the following link -  https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=pjLGDuZsiduZy79qoEcDEw
    Unzip it.
    Take the backup of the SCORM folder present at “/Applications/Adobe Captivate 6/Templates/Publish/”
    Replace the one with the unzipped folder.
    Re-launch the captivate.
    Open the captivate project which has SCORM1.2 reporting.
    Re-Publish it.
    Let me know if you still face the same issue.
    Regards,
    Mayank

  • Animation does not show when previewed or published

    I have an animation that appears to be working, and shows in edit mode, but that does not appear at all when I preview or publish. It is a countdown clock I need to an activity.

    Hi there
    What version of Captivate are you using?
    If it's version 4, note that you may choose an Actionscript version to use.

  • HTML5 quiz project plays if published with CP8, but not CP7

    I have a project that only consists of a title page and quiz questions that is published to HTML5 with CP7.  It plays fine on an iPad, but will not load on a desktop browser like IE and Chrome; the wheel spins for a second and then just a blank page.
    What's funny is that I just tried publishing the same project with the trial version of CP8 and now the project plays fine from my LMS.  What's even more bizarre is that I have other project files that are a mix of regular pages and quiz questions, and they play fine in HTML5 on the iPad and desktop, all published with CP7; it's just this one project file that consists of quiz questions that's causing problems.
    Any clues on how to get the project running in HTML5 on desktop when publishing with CP7?

    Sounds to me like you need to reinstall your FTP program instead.
    If the exact same files that you publish can be uploaded by your colleague and will work, then the problem is not with Captivate's output but in the transfer method.
    Perhaps your FTP program is messed up or perhaps you are uploading the files to the server with the wrong file permission settings.

  • Slide background is all white after preview or publishing

    Using Captivate 4 I spent a lot of time getting my project perfect.  when I preview each slide by them self they are all fine.  However when I preview or publish a group of slides or else the entire project soem slide end up totally white, like they have no background.  Each slide plays fine by it's self.  Does anybody know how to get around this bug?

    Are you running these on a server or web server when they are blank?  If so, did you deploy the JS file that is needed to run Captivate?  You must have standard.js in that directory.
    Update your Flash player or compile to the flash player that you have.
    Could be a weird resolution of an image file on the slide.  I have seen some that don't translate well and you might want to avoid 2 or 4 color images.
    Hope this helps.

  • Audio timing out of sync when previewing or published.

    Hi all,
    The issue I am having is when watching a preview or published cp4 project, the audio timings are out from the start.
    This issue is not only on projects i have created but if i watch someone elses project the timing is still out
    However if i use a collegues terminal the projects will play fine and in perfect audio sync.
    I guess there is a issue with my terminal/captivate.
    Any help or advise would be great as it is making life hard having to watch all previews on another terminal.
    cheers
    Lee

    How was this clip imported? If it was captured/ingested, did you make sure that the sample rate of the capture settings matched the sample rate of your audio? Normally FCE will give you a warning if they don't match, but it can't hurt to make sure.

  • Audio Recording: Different Volume in Slide Preview vs Published Project. Thoughts?

    I use Captivate 6 and use a  external NADY USB microphone to record my narration. 
    I record  audio for each slide separately using Captivate's "Record Audio to Slide" function.
    When I preview the slide in Captivate, the sound level is fine. Meaning I can hear the audio when the volume on my speakers are at the halfway point.
    But when I publish the video, and watch it on my computer, or on YouTube, I have to put the volume all the way up in order to hear the narration.
    Any thougths on what I may be doing wrong?
    Is my system too old or not powerful enough to support publishing audio/video?
    I understand that I may have to play with the sound levels to get the right sound to begin with. However, I don't understand why audio preview (both in slide preview and in "edit audio" player) is at one volume level, and publish is another volume level.
    Captivate Settings:
    My audio settings are set to Near CD Bitrate (96k)
    I calibrate the microphone each time I use Captivate.
    I publish to MP4 Video using the YouTube XGA present
    All files reside on my C: drive. I do not use the network to store, run or backup files.
    My system is:
    Windows 7
    Processor: Intel Core 2 CPU 4300 @ 180GHz
    4 GB Ram
    64 Bit OS
    Sound: SoundMAX integrated Digital HD Audio
    Microphone: NADY USB Microphone

    Hi Vikas.
    I tested recording audio  with one slide. The published version did not appear softer when recording just one slide.
    I then created a new project.
    I got the same softer audio when publishing.
    I also had 4 slides which cut of the first second of audio. (I made sure to move the audio about .25 seconds from the beginning of each slide, so there was blank space before and after the audio.)
    One slide didnt publish the audio at all.
    This project was smaller than my first.
    This project consists of 23 slides. most with audio.
    This time, I did all recoring via: Automatic demo,( no panning).
    I did not use the "video demo" function.
    What can be done to publish projects with audio successfully in Captivate 6.0.1.240?
