Recreate captivate file from published files?

Lost the captivate file in a computer move. Is there any way
to recreate the file from the published files?

Welcome to our community
Unfortunately no way to do that other than to carefully
observe and rebuild slide by slide. Sure would be nice if we had a
decompiler that would suck in an existing output and spit back out
an editable CP. The thing is, Adobe hasn't heard enough folks
scream for it to really consider creating it.
I heartily encourage you and others to please consider
submitting a Wish Form to ask for this kind of a utility.

Passing variables from web server to HTML5 Captivate File

I am publishing a Captivate quiz as HTML5 and hosting them on a website. I would like to know how I can pass data from my site to the HTML5 based Captivate quiz.
So far I have had success getting data out of captivate by having the file POST the results of a finished quiz to a RESTful route. However, I have not had success putting data into the file. I would like to pass information such as User ids and quiz ids, maybe even current slide position so that I can associate the quiz information with my database. I am not specifically looking for a solution to user ids, quiz ids, etc. because I can get creative in that regard, I just want to know if others have been able to set variables on Captivate file load.
I have tried a setting variables in a couple ways:
- Declaring the variables with javascript, then ajax loading the page into a div. This caused dependency issues since the captivate file uses relative paths for its assets folder.
- Modifying the published html file by adding the javascript variables, this returned an error message saying I cannot override the existing captivate variables
- Adding the js variables into the init function, this had no effect.

To simply pass the username and an id I used the following.
Note the URL has query string parameters that match the captivate variables
http://mywebsite/Course/index.html?cpQuizInfoStudentID=IDHere&cpQuizInfoStudentName=Studen tNameHere
Another way to do this to use JavaScript to read the query string, and the assign variable in CP to the query string values. I remember reading some more detail, but cant remember where.
Hope it helps

Once Captivate file is published the animations become glitchy and the audio no longer is synced

Audio and animations match in captivate file before being published. Once I publish the file about a minute in, the animations become slow and unsynced with the audio. I am thinking that the file is too big, ( around 400 slide), but unsure what is causing this and how to fix this problem. Any suggestions?

Welcome to our community
This is hard to say without knowing more particulars about your situation. Sort of like walking into a doctors office and saying you just don't feel well.
What is the published output?
SWF with HTML page
EXE
YouTube
Apple
PDF
Something entirely different than above
How exactly are you viewing the output?
Preview from within Captivate
Browser Preview
After uploading to a web site
After burning a CD-ROM and playing from there
After uploading to YouTube
Something entirely different from above
If you can give us more particulars, perhaps we might offer better advice.

Flash animation doesn't work when I publish Captivate file

Hi,
I have an e-learning developed by a third party using Captivate 6, they've inserted animations (swf files) created using Flash CS6. When I try publishing the Captivate file on my computer all the animations work well except for a particular one (a wheel that spins and asks questions).
When I publish the Captivate file and go to that particular slide and click anywhere other than this animation the whole thing freezes (this doesn't happen on other slides with the other animation/quizzes developed using Flash CS6 on the same project). However, when the developer publishes the same file on their machine it works well.
I don't have Flash CS6 installed on my machine (I only have Flash CS4 and can't open the animation/swf files), I asked someone else (that had Flash CS6) to try publishing the Captivate file and had the same issue I had.
Has anyone had this issue before? how can I fix it?
Thanks!

Since you are loading another SWF file into your main root timeline and want to transfer control to the loaded SWF you need to call _lockroot on the container that holds the loaded content since you are using _root. Like this:
myMCLMain.loadClip("flashSite.swf", "container2");
container2._lockroot = true; //Add this line after loadClip
Or you can remove the _root in the loaded SWF.

Need interactive Captivate files published for use on computers and tablets, including iPad

I need to publish interactive Captivate files for e-learning to work on tablets, including ipad. LMS supports a variety of formats, but I have yet to find the "magic settings" to run on iPad. Has anyone had success in doing this?

Do you know what the .htaccess code was for? I am uploading to an LMS, and get no error message on tablets, no message at all. Just blank. Does this .htaccess code apply to LMS, do you know?

My published captivate file wont play

Hi i created a captivate elearning project and then published it as media here is a few images of the process. i tried playing both the application file and the web file and both failed for some reason, there was a message about the programme missing a key componant, i bleieve it was flash player but i even reinstalled it and it still doesnt work, i could really use a hand thanks

Take a look at some of the troubleshooting suggestions here:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/basic-troubleshooting-tech niques
If you are able to create a new blank Captivate project, and publish it without issue, then your current project may contain something that is causing this issue. Use the suggested process of elimination to simplify your project and isolate the specific slide/s where the issue might be.

Recreating help pages from a .chm file

Hello,
I have a situation where numerous help pages have been
removed from a project. I think this happened when we had some
problems witha network drive & checking files from this
location into a source control tool. It has gone unnoticed until
now. The .chm file is intact & I'm wondering if there is a way
of recreating my project from the .chm file?
any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Can not open Captivate files in Dreamweaver

All files are in one folder - code attached
<p><a href="NAME.htm" target="_blank"
class="paragraph" title="TITLE">LINK TEXT GOES
HERE</a></p>
When the Captivate file was published, I selected the "Export
HTML" check box. I put both .swf files, the .cp file, and the .htm
file in the same folder. I can open the name_skin.swf file, but
it's just the skin. If I put the href file as the name.swf file, I
don't get the skin. If I use the name.htm file, I get a blank
screen.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi divertida73
Looks like you may be neglecting to include a very important
file. Its name?
standard.js
Try adding that one to the mix and see if you don't fare
better.

Unable to Load Captivate files to Creative Cloud

We have several captivate files that that for whatever reason we are unable to upload to creative cloud. We have tried from both Macs and PCs and receive the same message. "A virus was detected in Filename. This file will not be uploaded." They function in every respect in both cp7 and cp8. We have scanned them with mac and pc virus scanners. I can remove all the contents of the file and it still fails.
If I copy out all the slides to a new file, the file loads to cc. There is a lot of master template and advanced actions that would be lost if we have to port out the slides. This is not a great solution.
Can anyone suggest possible causes or remedies? My hope this there is some resource missing or corrupted in the file structure and that can be repaired.
Thanks for your attention.

Warner,
The only virus detection program that I found that recognizes this virus is ClamWin (Free Antivirus for Windows - Open source GPL virus scanner) I used it to scan the text animation swf files ( installed with my Adobe Captivate 8 64 bit program files. Below is the report. I hope this helps someone at Adobe to find and fix the issue as soon as possible. Since I now know there is a virus on my system, I really need a fix as soon as possible. What I read about this virus is that "it will be used as a backdoor to spread more malware, malicious, and other Trojan virus... usually monitors internet browsing activity and collects confidential information of the victims and then sends them to Cybercriminals...."
Here are the results of my program directory scan. As you can see not all text animations are impacted but many are.

Maximum File Size for a Captivate file before the graphics begin to get replaced with rectangles

I have Captivate 6
I published a 39 slide file with audio to an .exe.
It was 130 mb.
The first part of the course was fine, but when I got to slide 20, the graphics were replaced with a bright red rectangle.
What is the maximum file size before this happens?
(I ended up converting each audio file to mp3. That reduced the file size to 88 MB)

That red rectangle is usually due to the slide needing to be set to High Quality 24bit. I don't believe it has anything to do with the filesize.

Other problems with loading Captivate files into Flash AS3 project

I have a Captivate file done with Captivate 3, published to
Flash player 9 that is being loaded into Flash AS3. The captivate
is a simple recording of some mouse clicks in a browser. I am
displaying the playbar along the bottom, and its buttons all work
fine except for the progress bar, where you can drag the knob and
scrub back & forth in your presentation.
This progress bar is not working as it should. I see the
mouse cursor change to a hand, but when I click I cannot drag the
knob to control the progress bar. The other buttons in the playbar
do work (replay, pause, play, back, forward).
This is a unique problem in that it is only happening when
viewed in IE (7) when loaded into my Flash AS3 project. When viewed
in Firefox in my project, or as a standalone SWF, or as a SWF
simply embedded onto a plain HTML page, it works just fine.
Does anybody have any insight?
Another thing I notice with loading Captivate files with AS3
is the the amount of output messages it displays. Rather annoying
(unless this is a "feature" I've yet to be aware of - heh)

Hi,
I know exactly how you feel, there is simple answer; replace
Captivate for Camtasia Studio 5 at techsmith.com. The weight on
those shoulders will be gone! You'll smile more, be more
socialable. One Happy Person.
I am very happy person ;)

Captivate File Too Large on Website

Hi Everyone,
I am new to using Adobe Captivate and am wondering if anyone can offer any suggestions on how to compress an Adobe Captivate file for a website.
Specifically, I am referring to the Adobe Captivate file on this website link: http://www.crawfordtech.com/news-events/transpromo-webinar
As you'll see, it takes a while to load.
How can I make it smaller so as to lessen download time? Can I do this in Captivate? If not, what software can I use for this kind of compression.
Thanks kindly,
Jamie

Hello,
Could you give some details about the size of this project, as well for the CP-file as for the SWF (which is published). And how many slides? Mostly it is recommended to limit the number of slides to 60. When not adding audio I successfully could have CP-files up to 120 slides. And what was the resolution of the captures? Try to capture at the minimum resolution: if you use 1280x1024 the files will be much larger than at 800x600.
What were your settings when publishing, especially for SWF quality and (if necessary) for audio compression?
You can also divide a large project in different projects and chain them together with Aggregator (CP4 only) or by daisy chaining.

Load limitations for Captivate Files in RoboHelp?

We are investigating RoboHelp 9 as a solution for an upcoming help project that would involve a large number of Captivate demos (approximately 70) ranging in size from 1 - 5MB. Has anyone run into issues using large numbers of Captivate files in a RoboHelp project? Is there a maximum file size for Captivate demos in RoboHelp? Any other issues? I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone with experience in this area.

Welcome to our community
There really shouldn't be any load limitations other than those imposed by the Captivate files themselves. My guess is that you plan on using WebHelp, no? And if you are, the Captivate demos will be loaded as needed from the server. So the only lag you will see is the delay for what it takes for the server to serve up the demo itself.
Hopefully this answers your question. If not, post back and we will take another stab at it.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate Files Loaded on Web Server

I have loaded a captivate file (along with all its dependent files) onto a web server in order to link it to our Plateau LMS. I had no problem with the link, but a narration that is supposed to start later in the file begins when the main Captivate page is opened. I am not the creator of the Captivate file and have never worked with the program. Is there something that needs to be done to the file to keep it from doing this?

Are you using Aggregator? Or is is a very long project? I've noticed Aggregator projects often want to jump into the audio while the presentation is still loading. The easiest fix for that is via Edit --> Preferences. Select Start and End in the Project group, uncheck Auto Play, and, as a touch of class, add a graphic to be displayed until the user presses the play button (which will be in the middle of the presentation when it loads).

Recreate captivate file from published files?
