Swf compilation failed error when previewing/publishing anything

I am not sure why this keeps happening, but nothing I do fixes this error.  I have had tried creating a new project and same thing happens.  I am using Captivate 6.  Anyone know of a resolution?

Can you run your Mac update, probably, your Java needs to be updated, Mac has 10.7.5.
After updating reboot the machine and test it again.
On windows, when you launch, the Captivate displays that in its name itself.
Thanks,

  • Swf compilation failed--error msg

    This is an ordinary project with no user-made variables.  I had been working for hours, adding effects to text when I got this msg which went on to say, "Note:  Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name."
    I rebooted the project, and still got the message when I would try to save or preview.

    Hi Lillbiri,
    I am running into the same problem as mentioned above. When I try to publish as a SWF I get the warning
    "swf compilation failed. Note: Please verify if any of the action script keywords is used as a variable name." When I asked Adobe chat about this they said it is caused by having a special character in one of my names. I went through each slide and do not have any special character in my slide names. Could it be caused from naming multiple slides the same thing?

  • Getting "Swf compilation failed" error

    Whether trying to publish a simple PowerPoint presentation from Captivate 6 or Captivate 8 (Trial), I am getting the following error:
    Swf compilation failed.
    Note:  Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name.
    Does anyone know what this error means?  I am not using any variables.

  • Captivate 6 - SWF Compilation Failed Error Message Rears Ugly Head

    Hi all!
    I'm attempting to publish a project using Captivate 6 (with Flash Setting 10 or 11). I am publishing to my desktop, Windows 7 OS, and the message further states the thing about ActionScript and user variables having the same name or something. I've seen the message all over the forums, so I'm sure it's not new to you. I have not created any user variables, so I'm at a loss as to what to check here.
    My original problem was trying to get embedded videos to publish. I kept getting this "busy" looking icon and nothing ever happened. Now I can't even get the project to publish. Any help would be appreciated. I sold my boss on this great feature, yet can't seem to get the videos to work. Thanks in advance!!

    I'm was having this same problem for over a week now. I hunted through countless post with out finding a solution. It's not just with one project but all even fresh ones that have no varibles or actionscripts. I've uninstalled both Adobe Flash, and Java, and reinstalled them. I've also had a team member open my projects and was able to Preview and Publish them with no problem. I installed the same version of Java he's using with no resolve. My system is Windows XP Pro 32-bit, so it's not an issue of running the 64-bit version and switching. I have tried all the quick-fixes here with no change to the error message. My IT team has uninstalled and reinstalled the program as well.
    BUT!!
    I have found a solution which I am very surprised no one has suggested yet. This is what worked for me, using Adobe's dcache.exe tool, I cleared the Adobe Captivate Cache folder, reopend the projects and BAM, they compiled.
    Good luck everyone.

  • OCIEnvCreate failed error when previewing report in BIDS

    I have installed oracle 11g 32 bit and 11g 64 bit clients on SQL server 2012 and can create linked servers to Oracle databases and query said databases. 
    But when in the BIDS environment I cannot create datasources that point at the Oracle databases I get the following error msg
    SQL server 2012
    Windows server 2012
    Oracle administrator client 11g

    Hi ghw123,
    Thank you for your question. According to your description, you installed oracle 11g 32 bit and 11g 64 bit clients on SQL server 2012, you can create linked servers to Oracle databases and query inside databases, when you use Oracle as data source in BIDS
    the error occurred. Base on my research, this error may be caused by two reasons:
    DLLs from a previous installation of Oracle Client have been left on the system, causing a conflict.
    You may not have read permission to the 'Oracle' folder.
    Please try to follow the steps below to solve this issue:
    Perform a search for "OCI.DLL" on the local machine. If you find any instances of this file in any location other than your ORACLE_HOME rename or delete it. If in doubt, uninstall the Oracle Client, and then perform the search again. Anything that is leftover
    is the culprit.
    Grant read and execute permission to the folder 'Oracle' to the ASP.NET user, regrant it if the permission has been granted, then remove the Read Only restriction and restart your machine.

    Hi There,
    Can you tell me the Operating System and Captivate version you are using?
    Also can you confirm if you are getting this issue will this one project or all the projects? Try to copy paste this project on a new blank project and then try to publish.

  • Error: "SWF Compilation Failed"

    I am currently working on updating an old CP4 file. While I can open and save the file in both CP5 and CP5.5, I am unable to preview in browser or publish the file. Instead, I receive the error "Swf compilation failed. Note: Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name/"
    After reviewing some of the discussion items on the forum, I was able to try some fixes, but with no luck. The project does not contain:
    Double quotations anywhere in project information or name
    User Variables
    I also tried removing any text entry boxes, but that did not solve the problem either. Oddly, I have had several separate projects to update and only one has this issue. It is preventing me from updating the file.
    Any help on how I can update and publish the file is appreciated.

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Did you tried copy and pasting all the slide of this project to a blank project ?
    Note : If the above step do not work, then try this :
    1) Copy 5 slides and publish
    2) If publish is successfull, try another 5 and publish again
    By these steps you will find the slide which has issue.
    Thanks,
    Vikram

  • I keep getting this error when I publish the SWF file.

    I keep getting this error when I publish my SWF file.

    This is the only action script 3.0 script that I wrote.
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
        skipbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
    function btnClick (event:MouseEvent):void{
        skipbtn.gotoAndPlay("home");

    the first line is a warning, not an error.
    and you have more actionscript than you think.  open the movie explorer panel and toggle the actionscript only button to find all the actionsript in your fla.

  • Strange Error when previewing or publishing

    Hi Muse Family
    I am getting a very strange error when I publish to BC or when I go to preview in browser:
    "Adobe Muse has encountered an error.. blah blah"
    and then a very confusing:
    "There should not be such ID exists in the mapping"
    It forces Muse to close.
    I can't think of any significant step I took to cause this problem from when it was working.

    To enable the frequent release of new features within Muse, the team is always simultaneously working on many different improvements only some of which are completed and exposed in any given release. In the 2014.1 update some of the underlying code related to SVG support was unintentionally enabled. When copying and pasting from some versions of Adobe Illustrator (and other sources) the result may be an SVG vector graphic in Muse, rather than an image. While the SVG may appear to work in Design view, it can cause failures when exporting or publishing from Muse. This functionality will be disabled in an imminent dot release, 2014.1.1. We advise users to remove SVG content from their sites. Until 2014.1.1 is available, the graphics will need to be brought into Muse as .png, .jpg, .gif or .psd images using File > Place or Import, rather than Copy/Paste.
    Sorry for the inconvenience. SVG support will be fully implemented, tested and included in a future major update of Muse.
    Additional discussion in this thread <Re: I can paste vectors in muse now, it shows up in preview, and even in a browser preview, but not when I upload.>.

  • SWF Compilation Failed with "Submit All" Option

    Hi,
    I am using Captivate 6.1 and created a quiz with single choice questions. When I turn on the "Submit All" option, I can not preview/publish the file anymore. It says "SWF Compilation Failed." and I am advised to check if any user variables contain AS keywords. I am not using any user variables in this project. Whenever I turn the "Submit All" option off, preview/publish are possible again.
    When publishing to HTML5, the error does not occur.
    Can you please help me with this issue, since I would appreciate using the "Submit All" option.

    Hi
    Check this forum : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1111120?tstart=0
         SWF compilation can come for following reasons:
    1) If you use action script keywords in Captibvate project variables.
    Resolution: Make sure you don't use action script keywords.
    2) If you have invisible characters present in text fields.
    Resolution: Don't Copy/Paste text from some other application to Captivate text fields like Project information etc. Type with key board. Create a blank project and publish, if you still get SWF compilation issue then your 64 bit JVM might be corrupted.
    3) if your installation is 64 bit Captivate, 64 bit JVM might be corrupted.
    Add  Use32BitJVMForPublish = 1  in AdobeCaptivate.ini  file
    Close and Re-launch Captivate.
    Re-publish the project
    Captivate ini file is present at “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 x64” location

  • I get a "Short DST" failed error when running test. Laptop will not boot up. Any ideas?

    I get a Short DST failed error when I ran a test.  The laptop won't bootup. All I get is a black screen

    Hi,
    Certainly, the error code will be a Smart or Disk Self Test failure - in either case, it would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced.  This is also consistent with the start-up issue.
    One possible way to try and retrieve your files from a non-booting drive is to follow the process detailed in the link below.  The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive ) and I've often found it to be successful in retrieving data even from a failing Hard Drive.  When you've created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can back up your existing files. 

  • Script Error when I Publish Movie

    I am getting a script error when i Publish a Movie.But when
    run the movie i dont get any error.
    I get the error message window as follows
    Symbol expected
    <Void>
    Script Error. Continue?
    and the options "YES" and "NO"
    What could be the possible reason for this.
    I have draged a combo behaviour onto a bitmap.I think there
    is something wrong in that behaviour as it conatins many functions.
    Please highlight on this issue as it is really very urgent
    for me.
    Thanks

    Hi Ajeet,
    You've left out an xtra. It's impossible to tell which one
    from your
    description. I'll guess that its a scripting xtra, possibly a
    third
    party xtra.
