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.

Export from Captivate 3 to Flash CS3

I followed directions located in Adobe Captivate 3's help
menu about exporting to Flash CS3. I have tried both exporting from
Captivate and Importing from Flash to move my captivate project
into flash. About 5 times, an error saying "Unknown error" had
occurred popped up. I closed Flash and Captivate a couple times and
then it worked. Several new errors popped up during the
"successful" import---worse yet, the captivate project imported
terribly! Pieces of the demonstration were all over the stage.
Long story short, something is wrong. Is this a Vista thing?
Does anyone know about any of this?

Doesn't seem to be specific to Vista.
I've had similar issues trying to export to Flash. But
sometimes it seems to
work beautifully (although always with an error message about
"unable to
find Flash.exe" or similar), aside from in issue with the
backgrounds all
importing to Flash at the wrong size. This is easily worked
around, and has
been discussed here a number of times.
My first suggestion to you is to try rebooting your machine
before trying to
export again.

Unable to export swf movie in adobe flash cs4

First I edited my flash project in flash 8
after that I insatlled trial version of adobe flash cs4
now in my project there are 650 layers
till then it was ok
but now now it is giving me trouble with this error
"The Export Frame for Classes specified in the Publish or Export settings, frame 1, does not exist. No bytecode for ActionScript 2.0 classes or interfaces was exported."
I am about to complete my project atlast I ended with an error
Any one plzzz help me...................................
I am unable to test the movie also

Hi Mia - yes, definitely start using your external HD! To use it you must connect it to your computer of course. It should have come with the appropriate cable, probably a USB connection. The main issue will be how it is formatted. Many hard drives when they are bought, are formatted for Windows PC machines rather than for Apple MacIntosh computers. If so this would need to be changed, and in the process that would erase anything already stored on it.
So, firstly connect your external drive to the computer, and turn it on. You should then see a small icon representing that drive appear on your computer's desktop. Control/Click on that and choose the 'Get Info' option from the list of options that appears. The resulting small window will tell you what the format of the drive is. If it is not 'Mac OS Extended', then it probably has to be re-formatted.
We won't go into how this is done until you tell us it is going to be necessary.
Assuming all is well with the formatting, you can just drag the photo folders over the icon of the external drive. This will copy them over to that drive. Double-click the icon to open a window showing that this has happened. You can then trash the originals on your computer, freeing up more space.

Error when Exporting quizzes from Captivate 2 to Flash 8!

Here is the error that I get when trying to Export quizzes
from Captivate 2 to Flash 8.
"An internal Adobe Captivate error (bad argument) occured. If
you have any questions please contact Adobe Technical Support."
I've noticed that this only happens if there are quizzes in
the project. I have tried everything that Adobe FAQ's and TechNotes
had to offer.
They said that the CP file could be corrupt. If that's the
case, Every file that I create with a quiz is corrupt. I have just
upgraded from Flash MX to Studio 8 and just bought the new version
of Captivate 2. These were both downloaded via try/buy.
If anyone is familliar with this problem, any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Answering my own question.....Received this fix:
I think that I know what you did. When you had Captive 1 you
changed a dll file in order for it to work with Flash 8. They
forgot to mention that if you did this fix back in 1.0 that it
would corrupt the process in 2.0.
Go here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<UserID>\Local
Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash
8\en\Configuration\Importers
Make sure this is the only file in there: RDMFISTUB8.DLL
That should solve your problem.

Exporting a Captivate Movie into Flash 8

I am trying to export my Captivate movie using Flash Pro 8,
but I keep getting the "message" I can only export if I had Flash
MX 2004 installed. Is there a way around this????

Hi mindtube and welcome to our community
I am inferring from your question that you may think Adobe
employees are monitoring this forum. While we might see one or two
pop in here and there, by and large this is a total "user-to-user"
community. I'm a Captivate user same as you. So you might want to
post your question to support using the link at the bottom of this

Can I save/export from Captivate 4 down to Captivate 3?

Can I save/export from Captivate 4 down to Captivate 3?

Yes, you can! But you need Captivate 3 installed in your computer.
First, open the project in Captivate 4. Copy all the slides. Open a new project in Captivate 3. Paste all the slides.
I have done this with Captivate 4 to Captivate 2, so I am sure it should work with 3.

Unable to export from iPhoto

I have tried to export individual photos and an album as a file(s) to my desktop and to smugmug via the iPhoto plugin without success. I have also put a new folder in Pictures and have tried to export the photos to it without success.
When exporting to desktop, the message comes up "Exporting...Unable to create /users/name/desktop."
When using the smugmug plugin, iPhoto "unexpectedly" shuts down!
I have tried to drag and drop photos from iPhoto without success of course.
I will appreciate your help and suggestions. This is the first time that I've had problems exporting from iPhoto.

Well the reason you can’t export is because iPhoto can’t find the pictures.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Export from QT Pro to Flash?

I have a number of video clips which I now find out need to be in Flash format.
Is there a way that anyone is aware to export/save as from Quicktime Pro to Flash?
If not directly, than how?

Sorry - I read your question a bit fast and had flic animation spinning around in my head.
If it is FLV format specifically that you want (and you don't have a copy of Sorenson Squeeze around) use ffmpegx to do the conversion, as shown below:

Passing a variable from Captivate 5 to Flash CS5/ActionScript 3

I don't get it. Why is it so difficult to pass a variable from Captivate 5 to AS3/Flash CS5. I must be making it harder than it really is. I cannot figure it out. Can anyone help?
I have a variable (gpDone = 1) defined in Captivate 5 (it's a guided practice) on the last frame which will indicate that the learner has completed the guided practice file.
Now I want to pass that variable back to Flash/AS3 so I can evaluate whether I should show the Continue button so they can continue. They have to complete the guided practice before they can continue. If it is equal to 1, the Continue button will display. If it is not equal to 1, the Continue button will not display, but a message will display telling them they have to complete the guided practice in order to continue in the course.
Do I need to edit the Flash html? Or just put code in the Flash timeline or the associated AS file?
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Having the same problem...getting variable values FROM captivate to my inserted .swf (not widgets).
I can set the value from the .swf to the captivate using Object(parent.parent.parent.parent).captivateVariable but not the other way around.
Very frustrating.
I hope someone answers your query.

Export Captivate 3 to Flash CS4

Hello All,
I am using Captivate 3 and when I try to export project to Falsh, only Flash 8 and Flash CS3 are listed but they are grayed out because I am using Flash CS4. My question is how do I export project to Flash CS4 if it is not an option? Is there another way to create a FLV file?
Thanks,
Chad

Retrieving variables from Captivate 4 in Flash (AS2)

I've found a couple threads in this forum on this topic, but none of the code suggested in these threads seems to work. I have a quiz created in Captivate 4. The 'Results' slide changes a user-defined variable, varCAPChp1Test to 1 on enter of the slide (I use the 'Assign' command from the dropdown in slide properties to assign this variable a value of 1). I want to reference this variable in my .fla file using AS2. I load the Captivate swf into an empty movieclip using the following code:
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.loadClip("supporting_SWFs/Quizzes/Chp1_Quiz.swf", "mc_EmptySWF"); //the swf loads and functions just fine
checkCompletion = function():Void
    var test = mc_EmptySWF.varCAPChp1Test;
    if(test != null && test == 1)
        trace("Chapter 1 Test completed!");
    else
        trace("?");
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkCompletion);
//Here is the output when I publish the .fla:
Branching::script:varTotalPts = varTotalPts + 10
rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
Branching::script:rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
Branching::script:varTotalPts = varTotalPts + 10
rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
Branching::script:rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
Branching::script:varTotalPts = varTotalPts + 10
rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
Branching::script:varUserPts = varUserPts + 10
rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
Branching::script:varTotalPts = varTotalPts + 10
rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
Branching::script:varUserPts = varUserPts + 10
rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
Branching::script:varTotalPts = varTotalPts + 10
rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
Branching::script:varCAPChp1Test = 1 //so the value is assigned properly in Captivate, but Flash doesn't "listen" for it.
rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];

I've changed the code below to just trace the value of a variable in Captivate when it's completely loaded in Flash and I keep getting 'undefined.' I'm also using a system variable instead of a custom user variable this time.
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.loadClip("Chp1_Quiz.swf", "mc_contentHolder");
myMCL.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
    var test = mc_contentHolder.rdinfoSlideCount;
    trace(test)
//Here's the output I receive:
undefined
Branching::script:varChp1Test = inprogress
varTotalPts = varTotalPts + 10
rdcmndResume = 1;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
I know that myMCL.onLoadComplete is working b/c I am receiving the trace output, but Flash is not reading the variable from Captivate. Can anyone help me see what I'm doing wrong? I've been doing research on this for several days with no success. This should be pretty simple and I keep getting 'undefined.'
Thanks.

Unable to Export from LR4

Lion 10.7.4 MacPro - I cannot export from Lightroom 4 in my main Admin account. Lightroom gives me an error message - Spent much time with Adobe and it was suggested that it was an Apple issue. Apple tech doesn't think so. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
JT

Not sure if this will help your situation, but I just had the same problem and tracked it to a weird issue with Lr not giving me ownership or write permission on this folder or its contents:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/
Once I changed the owner to me and gave myself read/write access this this folder and its contents, I was able to export.
The backstory as to (I think) why this happened is in my post in this thread.

Export from iPhoto to Cpmpact Flash Card

I am so frustrated. We got one of those new [icture frames that you can put a flash card in. When I select the photoes from iphoto and export them to the card I get an error early into the transfer
Unable to create/Volumes/ after a few pics, never the same pic. I think all my pics are good jpgs, What is wrong, I have tried different memorry cards, all the same.

Kevin
This could be a file permissions issue: Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/BatChmod.png
(Credit to Old Toad for this one).
Another possibility is that iPhoto is having trouble with the Format of the card, so try exporting to the desktop and then dragging to the card.

Unable to export from iPhoto to other location

Would appreciate any help and guidance with above please.
I don't normally use iPhoto but I have a couple of photos' I'd like to transfer to my Pictures folder.
When I select Export function, I select the desired location and click the Export button. A small ' exporting ' window pops up with a flash of the blue and white chevron (doing something ) strip followed by a statement ' unable to create/users/names/pictures.
Probably doing something wrong.
Thanks & regards

Unsure as to how but I've obviously done something wrong..it does help to read the book first!
However, other images in iphoto export ok,email ok and I have imported into iphoto and then exported back so everything does seem to be working ok.
I've obviously messed up somehow with about 5 particular images that'll I'll put down to user error!!
Thanks for prompt response Terence and have given you a green tick for making me look further. Should have tried that in the first place.
Thanks again, regards John
