Typing audio that isn't on slide playing when published
using Captivate 4
when I publish my project, a typing noise appears at the beginning of the project. There is no typing on the first slide at all, and the only audio file is some music. I don't hear it when previewing.
any ideas?
Was there ever a typing text object anywhere in your project that you delete at one time? I remember from Cp3 that when it would capture a typing text animation from a capture session, that you could never truly delete the object from the slide, only hide it (not sure if it's the same in Cp4, I recently jumped to Cp5).
When in doubt, I would do Insert > Blank Slide, then re-create the audio/objects from your current slide 1 and insert/paste onto the blank slide, then blow away the problematic slide 1, then republish and see if that helps!

All .swf audio plays on slide 1 when published as swf file!
Help!
I am trying to publish a series of projects (seven) as swf files to upload to moodle for a CBT course. This is my first time ever using Captivate in this way and when I go to view the outputs using a web browser, all of the audio for the imbedded flash files in the project plays on top of each other on the first slide. They will also play as they are supposed to during the course, but it's very annoying.
When I publish the project as a standalone file, everything works flawlessly. What is causing this and how can I fix it? I must also state that I outsourced the flash work and know next to nothing about flash, so any help you give that might involve that piece, I will have to pass on to the flash developer.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
EDIT: Captivate 3.0.1 Not sure what version of Flash.Was there ever a typing text object anywhere in your project that you delete at one time? I remember from Cp3 that when it would capture a typing text animation from a capture session, that you could never truly delete the object from the slide, only hide it (not sure if it's the same in Cp4, I recently jumped to Cp5).

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
Drivers for Microphone and Sound card are up to dateHi 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? -
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.

Embedded Vimeo videos play when published on desktop but won't show up online
I have a site that I updated recently … when I finished revising in iWeb and published it to my URL none of the embedded Vimeo videos show up. According to Vimeo customer support, and my web host, there is "no code or file" in the space where the video/html snippet should be. Tried rebuilding pages from scratch, still no video. Same process worked before and my site was functioning fine until I made this most recent update. Any reason why embed code would work prior to update, and not now? Why it finds the video when published to a folder on my desktop, but not when it's published to URL? Working with iWeb 3.0 and OS 10.9.4.
From your statements I guess that you put the files on the server yourself.
Make sure that you put ALL the files and folders on the server.
And why not provide a link to the page? -
Please help
Is there a way to open a port or something to allow access from network B to the Ethernet printer on network A without compromising network A?
Sorry, but no. Devices on the guest network cannot access devices on the main network and vice versa. -
First slide plays when resuming in LMS
I am having an issue with a 5.5 Captivate project when resuming playback in my LMS. When the course is stopped and then resumed. The course will play the first slide for @ 1 sec before taking the user to the last correct book marked slide. I have moved thed preloader settings and slide settings and created a blank slide with no elements or audio and have not resolved the issue. Has anyone else seen this before, and were you able to solve it?
Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
This is a know issue in Captivate 5.5 and it is fixed in Captivate 6.0
Thanks,

How to get flash audio to play when published to godaddy
I'm trying to move all my iWeb websites to Godaddy, but can't get flash audio to work playing my mp3 on the site. With iDisk it's easy, just install the flash player in there, but how do I get it to my godaddy server and write the iDisk address into the widget code. How do I do it when using godaddy as the new host?
Download the folder of assets for your flash player from iDisk. Get there from the Finder Go menu - iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
Drag the folder onto your desktop and then upload it to the server using an FTP app like the freeware Cyberduck or your hosting service's file manager.
Enter the new URLs to the files in snippet code. -

Slides missing when published to avi - HELP!!
Hi there
I've got a huge problem that I jsut can't fix - for two of my Captivate 4 projects, there are whole batches of slides missing (12 in a row is the worst case) when I publish the project as an AVI
I've been working on 12 seperate projects, each containing between 10 - 50 slides, with some audio, FMR and text captions (basically, nothing too complex, as I'm a first time user).
For at least two projects, when I publish to AVI (full frames, uncompressed), the videos just miss whole seconds of footage - there is no gap or silence, and the footage just continues from, say, slide5 straight into the second half of slide14 without a pause or noise.
The project is PERFECT when previewed fully, and when it plays and records itself before the publishing begins. Infact, I've exported it before with no issues.
Any ideas what's going on? Are they just corrupted?
I've tried re-importing the audio on the missing slides, adjusting the slide durations slightly, and basically fiddled with them, but each time I publish, the missing gap is EXACTLY the same.
the only thing I can think of is that I recently copied the whole project folder (with all the linked audio copied over into the same folder directory) from my network drive to my local drive. But as I said, I have other projects that have no, or only insignificant issues during publishing and they were also copied over in the same way.
Tearing my hair out with Captivate at the moment!!
Any help much appreciated!!I've experienced this type of frustration publishing to SWF format in Captivate 3 which, of course, cannot export to AVI format. I don't know if the solution I've tried will work in Captivate 4, but it's worth a shot.
It was definitely a glitchy thing in Captivate where the program just lost its mind and was ignoring the slides as they were setup. (That's not a professional diagnosis.) In a couple cases, I had to recreate the slide, from scratch, where the issue began and delete its doppelganger. That stopped the issue from starting and the following slides fell in line.
Another time all I had to do was move the audio clips around on the timeline. It was important that I released the clip in a new location before returning it to its original start point. I had to do this on all the affected slides.
There had to be some sort of corruption going on, but these two options helped me at different times. I hope one of them works for you, Robert.

FLV File does not play when published to my web server
Hi. I have created a short video in VC3 and selected the FLV option to create a web page. When I uploaded the entire file content to my web server (windows 2003 server hosted at Network Solutions) the FLV file will not play. Now... if I do the same with a WMV tile, the video plays.
You can view the file at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/va_education/VATutorials/index.htm
We have another video published in WMV format, although the video vs audio sync is out of wack at the moment, at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/Energy%20Pricing%20101/index.htm
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
G-IIHi again
You should probably double-check to ensure the standard.js file was also copied in when the HTML page was imported. It should be there but it never hurts to double check.
You might also perform a double-check to ensure things ended up in the correct folder (if you are organizing your project into folders). It could be that you moved the HTML page into a different folder and orphaned the JavaScript file.
Cheers... Rick

.swf won't play when published, but will in DW
I had posted this a few days ago, any help would be greatful, thanks so much.
first off, I have looked just about everywhere else to find this problem and no other solutions have worked yet.
here's the problem
I have 4 pages
3 are made from templates and one isn't
on the template ones, I have a .swf and when I publish it, it plays.
on the non-template homepage, I have a .swf file and when it is published, it doesn't load at all.
I have tried many things.
- build a new .swf and place it in there
- rebuild the homepage
- make the homepage into a template and then put the flash in
- and probably some other things
the file name is correct, the source name is correct ( /folder_name/file_name.fla)
it is correctly in dreamweaver and when I preview everything works.
any help would be greatly appreciated...I really don't want to start over from the beginning just to see if it works.
