Swf. audio from captivate

Hey, new to captivate and annoyed like no other!!!! It seems
the simplest things are insanely hard to do. For example i created
a piece in flash.... and published the swf file. I have the
animations synced to the audio i brought into flash, and when I
bring the swf into captivate, and export the file I lose the audio.
Anyone know how I can push the swf audio through to the output in
captivate??
I'm using captivate v2

I've not experienced this issue. How have you included/synced
the audio in
your Flash piece?

So Wat to do? Is there any way to get out as a single swf file from captivate.

Dear friends,
I am beginner in Adobe Captivate. We have a E-learning
project. We are using Dockers as our LMS. Previously we were using
Flash for all. Now we are trying Captivate for better and faster
results. I have few swf files and i inserted al files in Captivate
and i published. So instead of getting single output, am getting
all the swfs, skin swf and html file. Html file is accessing all
swfs and works. But it is not working in Dockers. Single swf will
only work in Dockers. So Wat to do? Is there any way to get out as
a single swf file from captivate. please Help mee.
Thanks
Flashlover

If 'Dockers' cannot handle a .zip file as the content and
instead
requires a single, uncompressed content file, then it is not
SCORM-compliant. The SCORM specification requires the LMS to
handle a
'pif' file (most common is .zip) which contains the lesson
and the
required manifest file. If Dockers doesn't support that then
you can't
do SCORM-compliant content.

Detect end of the .swf file from captivate

Hi,
I've a .swf file sent by our clients. They want to put that .swf file on the webpage. The .swf file is published from captivate.
Now they want to display a submit button on end of the .swf (video). I don't know how to detect end of the video.
Need help...!!!
Thank you,
Himadri

Welcome to our community
Within Captivate you are able to choose different actions to occur when the Captivate movie completes play. Of course if you don't have Captivate and the project file you are pretty much stuck with what you have. If you *DO* have access to the source, you would then configure the end action to be what you like. Perhaps execute some JavaScript, load a different page, etc.
If you don't have access to the source file, you may be better off asking whomever provided the SWF to you to make a small change to the end action. They would then compile a new SWF and provide that to you to use.
You just said a "Submit" button should appear after the video plays. What exactly is this button supposed to do?
Cheers... Rick

Exporting Audio from Captivate 5.5

Hello,
Please accept my apology if this question has already been posted in this forum, I searched but didnt see this particular question.
My department currently has Captivate version 3.3. We would like to upgrade to Captivate 5.5 so we can take advantage of the NeoSpeech TTS (Text to Speech) application bundled with Captivate 5.5. Does anyone know if the TTS audio can be exported to different formats from Captivate? If I remember correctly it was possible to do it in Captivate 4.0. We looked at NeoSpeech software as a single license for a whopping $1,000.00/license, per year. We thought upgrading to Captivate 5.5 was a better option at $495.00.
Thanks
Andrea

Thank you so much for that worked with no problems at all

Audio from Captivate 6 project will not play on iPad

Developing simple iPad test in Captivate 6 but audio will not play on iPad, works fine in browser. Error message from Safari log /ar/St Ad0.mp3 error code = 4 n/w state = 3; another error reads ..assets/js/CPLibrary.js line 15861ar/St Ad0.mp3 gotStuck@0*. Our "test pad" is first generation, uncertain of iOS version. The slides with basic interaction works fine, graphics look good but no audio.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Could you please share the following information:
1. Which server are you using to publish the content on Ipad?
2. Which IOS Version?
Please share the sample project or the published output with the mp3 file, so that we can investigate further. (Upload the files acrobat.com and send the link to [email protected])
Thanks,

HTML/SWF publish from captivate 8

I had created an project and published it for HTML/SWF, it is working fine in all the browsers and only in Firefox it gives the below error:
Adobe Captivate
This browser does not support some of the content in the file you are trying to view. Use one of the following browsers:
Internet Explorer 9 or later
Safari 5.1 or later
Google Chrome 17 or later
can some one give me solution on this.

Check this post. The message usually is because Firefox doesn't support mp3, hence the message from CP.
You need to make .ogg files and redirect CP to use them if in Firefox, else use the .mp3

I just loaded Audition, but when I try to edit an audio track from Captivate the "edit in adobe audi

I just loaded Audition, and already had Captivate on my computer. I'm trying to edit an audio track from Captivate, so I go to Audio>Edit>Slide. But, the window that comes up does not have the "Edit in Audition" button activated. The button is faint, thus doesn't work. How do I sync these two programs so I can edit a Captivate Audio file in Audition?

From the captivate help file:
You can use Adobe Audition to edit audio when you want to go beyond the audio editing options available in Adobe Captivate. For example, to apply filters or remove noise, you need an advanced audio editor such as Adobe Audition. You can either edit the audio files from slides or batch process by opening multiple files in Adobe Audition using the Library panel.
The changes reflect in Adobe Captivate library and the associated slides where the audio files are being used. The saved files are reimported to Adobe Captivate with the slide associations intact.
Note: This feature is available only in Adobe Captivate that is installed as a part of Adobe eLearning Suite.
I think that the last line probably answers your question....

HELP - How to stop audio from starting when captivate loads

Hi there,
I'm trying to work out how to stop my audio files attached to objects (images) from playing when captivate initially loads. I have a number of images with audio and when captivate initially loads all of the audios play at once which isn't good. I only want the audio associated with the object to play when the user clicks the item.
I've been researching for days and can't find an answer. Am I doing something wrong, or am I overlooking something.?
Could someone PLEASE help me with this or at least put me in the right direction. Any suggestions will be appreciated!!!
Jasmin

To achieve that you have to separate the audio from the image. The principle I explained in this article http://lilybiri.posterous.com/audio-objects-control-them
The audio will play when the object to which it is attached gets visible. If you attach the audio to another object like a non-visible highlight box (that is my 'audio object' but you can use also a non-visible drawing object), you can set this 'audio object' to invisible in its Properties panel. When the user clicks on the click box, execute the action 'Show audio object' and the audio will play. I would even recommend using advanced standard actions over a simple action because you will be able to hide the other audio objects at the same time, and the play head will not be released - see video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3nKi-DB6Fw&feature=plcp
You have to know that hiding an audio object, will pause the audio. If you show it again, it will continue playing, not restart.

Insert and play a .swf (from captivate)

I imported a .swf and it comes in broken into 180 frames -
how can I use this in my main timeline without having to insert 180
frames (or more since I'll need to place other .swfs as well)?
Thought I could copy those frames into a new symbol (movie clip?)
and then place that.... just not sure how to do this correctly. It
doesn't seem to be working.
Also - this .swf is exported from Captivate - any special
file format I should ask for instead?
Thank you!

Ok - I did that and am adding new frames to the movie clip
(piecing it back together since it imported as six different .swfs
for some reason), so I think I have to keep extending the timeline
to give it enough time to play (?), but unfortunately it doesn't
play a preview for me inside the .fla - I have to test movie each
time. Does that sound normal/right to you? I guess you always have
to add frames in the main timeline to accomodate however many
frames are within the movie clip? (kind of a pain but if it's the
only way I guess I'll live) :-)

Captivate 6 randomly dropping imported audio from slides during publish.

I think I remember this occurring in 5.5 as well, but only very occasionally. In this (my first) cp6 project, it's occurred 3 times already.
What occurs is that upon viewing the output (.exe), one slide will just not play the audio imported to it, although the slides before that one and the slides after it play their imported files.
I have re-published the project 6 times, and in two of those new publishes, it has dropped audio in a different slide, and played the audio on the slide where it previously did not play audio.
The imported files play just fine in all slides during preview in every case, so it seems to be occuring at publish. These are straight Audio > Import to > Slide wav files.
Anyone else see this?
At this point I just have to keep re-publishing until I get one that plays all files and call it a day.

Hi, Varun.
I finally got around to updating to 6.0.1.240 this morning.
The audio issue seems to still be there....it still drops imported audio from certain sildes, randomly. It changes with every publish.
THEORY: I noticed that on one of the slides where audio didn't play, the audio file contained a small silent region before the narration began. Maybe .3 or .5 seconds. I removed that silent portion so that the narration starts almost immediately (i.e. less than .2 second seconds of silence.) and for that slide, the audio did play at publish. So perhaps something in the playback exe is ignoring any audio that starts "too late" into the slide.... ?
I am now going back to check the audio files in every slide to remove any preceding silent passaages, and see if that cures this. Will update with my findings.
Another issue I noticed is that my background loop randomly stops playing. (This may have been in the previous build, too, not sure.) Not sure if this is in any way related.
If I pause and un-pause, the background music returns (starts at beginning of loop), and then stops again.. I verfied that "Loop Audio" is turned on.
Thanks.

Share Pod + SWF file = No SWF Audio?

We have been planning on using a share pod to present
interactive SWF files. These SWFs have buttons that trigger sounds
to play. The participants and presenters alike can see the SWF,
click the buttons, but no sound plays. The audio is embedded as
part of the SWF, so it is not an issue of the SWF calling another
file to get the audio. If we use a share pod to present an FLV
movie, the audio works fine.
Does Connect Pro not pass audio from SWFs in a share pod?
I don't have Presenter, so I can't test this on a SWF
embedded in a Presenter PowerPoint.

Weird.
One important consideration about inserting custom animations
into Captivate is that any code in the animation needs to take into
account the multiple layers found in published Captivate files. An
additional layer is also introduced if you publish with Borders On
in the Skin menu. The code in the animation may be thrown off if
it's designed to work within a specific layer order.
Have you tried creating a brand new Captivate project and
inserting the animation there? If it works there but not in your
project, that would at least tell you it works at all.
Also, have you tried adjusting the start/end time of your
animation on the timeline? Sometimes it helps to have animations
start after a button has paused the slide, or after the other
elements on the slide have had a chance to fade in completely.
Beyond that, not being able to see a SWF sounds like a
security issue of some sort. What that issue might be... is a
mystery.

Record audio from .exe file

Hi we had created an entire project of 2.5 hours of around 140 slides using Adobe Captivate 6. We had put the slide notes as text and published an .exe file and shared the same with the client.
However, now we have lost the source captivate .cptx file and have to redo the project from scratch. We have the powerpoint presentation for each slide so putting the objects as per the .exe is not an issue.
We figured the easiest way to have the audio is to record directly from the .exe and then put the audio files in captivate, rather than putting slide notes and repeating the entire process.
Is there a way to directly record audio from the .exe file? This will reduce our effort with respect to the pronunciation of words.

Double-click your .exe file and let it run, do not close. If you're on Windows 7 go to
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\Temp\
and look for a folder like CPE7770.tmp. You can use the date and time stamp to locate this folder.
Your swf file will be there.
If on another Windows OS, the path should be similar.
You can also use software like Audacity or Audition to record audio from your computer. Set up will depend on your system config.
Cheers,
Seth

Flash audio in captivate

I have imported some flash content with audio into my
captivate presentation. The flash content is on slide 5. When I
publish the captivate file and play it in internet explorer the
audio from the flash content plays on the first slde. Is this a
common problem? and if so how can I work around this?

I am having a similar problem where flash audio loops plays again on the slide after the one with the flash swf. Like it's replaying the sound twice, looping is not turned on... I've had multiple problems with flash and captivate like the new CS4 3d transitions just make it go balistic.

Recording audio from a published file?

Hi,
I am using Captivate 4 with Windows XP. I am creating a soft skill learning project and what I would like to do is when the users are going through the training, I would like the published Captivate file to capture audio from the user via a microphone. I would then like to have the audio clip save to a folder or emailed. Is this possible? Is there such a function in Captivate to do this?
Thank you,
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
Unfortunately this would not be possible in Adobe Captivate out of the box. If you own Flash and are ActionScript Savvy, you might be able to develop a Widget that would add this functionality. I don't think such a Widget currently exists.
Best regards,
Mark

Unable to export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4

Hello everyone!
I am attempting to export a captivate project over to flash CS4. However when it goes from captivate over to flash the result is basically a slide show. It does not show any of the animations that are present in Captivate. I also keep recieving an error message.
I have searched for how to solve this problem for quite a while now and so far have come up with nothing.
This is the error message that flash gives me:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
508 Compliance
A swf animation slide has been imported. The following files must be made available at publish time:
Project01_slide_22_0.swf
DefaultPreloader.swf
Please make sure you publish the project to “C:\Documents and Settings\jmillard\Desktop.” Saving the project to this directory will ensure that test project will work with the swf animation slides.
Unfortunately I am on a tight schedule to get this project done and the Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 I am using are both 30 day trials, so I am in quite a hurry.
If you could please help me I'd greately appreciate it!

When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.
