Unwanted border in Web Object

Whenever I use the new Web Object in Captivate 7 I get a grey border on the bottom and right side. And I have the Border option unchecked. I've tried re-sizing the either Web Object or the web page I'm loading, but that doesn't help. Is there a fix or work-around for this?
Also, when I play this on an iPad the border thickens up. Sveral pixels wide.
Thanks.

Here are a few examples of how the Web Objects border problem shows up on an iPad. I used various border settings for both the Web Object and the Project Skin. These are full screen screenshots from an iPad.

Unwanted border around png picture

I cutout unwanted content in a picture selecting a mask then saving for web as a png to show on a web background. But the picture shows a faint light coloured hairline border against a grey webpage background. How can I get rid of this unwanted border? The picture is shown on the website in a 'lightbox' so I cannot try borders in css to fix.

What you could do is open the png file into photoshop, ctrl click or cmd click the thumbnail of the image.
Now you have a selection around your object and not the background. (assuming the png had a transparent background to start which it should have)
You now have a few options at your disposal.
1) You could create a mask from the selection then using a brush paint away the unwanted area in the mask. (black to hide, white to reveal (shades of gray to vary the amount)
2) You could use the menu item Select>Modify>Contract (use a low pixel number) or Select>Modify>Feather
3) You could use Select>Refine Edge - This will be more visual than #2
4) With 2 and 3 either make a mask or move to new layer (Another option is to invert the selection then hit delete) Mask is always preferable for noon-destructive edits that you can redo later assuming you save a master file as psd or tiff.
5)Instead of a selection you could try (on a layer that is unlocked) Layer>Matte>Defringe
After you save a master file, then you can merge the layers and save as a png file for the web. saving as a png would be merged anyways, however this will let you verify the end result. If not correct, you still have the master file to work from.

Unwanted border around flash movie

Though I found that this problem is quite common and can have
different causes, I still couldn't resolve my own case.
I have several flash animations embedded in a table and the
one that has a rollover-action shows an unwanted border in Firefox
and in Internet Explorer. The borders are all set to 0, the
vertical and horizontal spacing of the <object>-tag is set to
0, too but no matter what else I tried it just doesn't work. The
animation does not show these borders when I test-compile it in
Flash, so I guess it could have something to do with the way
Dreamweaver embeds it in the HTML-file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

no worries - i access forum through the newsgroup - i dont
see any web features. also - when
searching, the web forum search ain't that great - always
better to use:
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?q=group:*flash*&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
it is entire archive of this forum - probably the best way to
learn anything about flash
hope this helps.

Problem with Jdeveloper and the Web Object Manager

I am trying to register a servlet through the web object manager.
As soon as click the web object manager menu pick I get the following
error: Could not load servlet information from web server.
On other peoples machines here it works fine and they can register
servlets. What am I missing!

hmmmm, wondering if I understood you correctly:
first try the file association - right click on one of the movie files (you should tell as well with extension) then 'open with' menu then go to 'choose program' and then choose one of them and coach the box "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" in your example 'window media player'.
the other point I understood is that in download directly into your browser, well there is a settin for this in the option, don't know where exactly, but you can avoid this by right clicking on the movie/file link and choose 'save target as ...' this forces it to download it on your disk and then you can open it.
hope this kinda helps

Can I use JavaScript to force objects to overlap a Web Object in Captivate 7?

Hi, so I have all of these great ideas for using Web Objects to enhance my courses, but am discouraged by the fact that I can't seem to get anything to overlap a Web Object. The only thing I can seem to get to overlap a Web Object is another Web Object. I have found that buttons seem to still work under the Web Object (which is good) but I really would like to know of a way to allow things on the Captivate timeline to be viewed on top of them. Things like text fields and images.
I've seen posts about how to use JavaScript to have the menu show above Web Objects, but that code doesn't seem to work for regular objects. I read that Web Objects sit in an "<iframe>" tag and that that forces it to appear above everything else. I'm left wondering if it is possible to get around this by somehow putting Captivate objects in an <iframe> of their own with JavaScript? Or is there some other way? Does anybody know any JavaScript I can apply to Captivate objects to get them to appear above a Web Object?
Thanks,
Dan

So I have come to learn that the "<iframe>" tag for a Web Object is simply a window that sits on top of the course. Now I'm wondering if anyone has an effective method for importing flash quality animation (in whatever form) that can sit underneath of Captivate objects and still be HTML5 compliant?
Thanks,
Dan

In oracle Open Script (OATS) OracleEBS/Forms project all the elements or fields are being identified as web objects.

In oracle Open Script (OATS), we have created an OracleEBS/Forms project. But when we try to record the script all the elements or fields are being identified as web objects. Due to this we are unable to use the functions like getText. Hence, please help.
Example: The below line when executed gives an error " Failed to connect to the Oracle Forms applet after 90 seconds. Verify that the applet launching page opens, and that the Forms Startup Timeout setting is high enough for this site."
forms.textField("/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Person']/web:document[@index='7' or @name='tabPage']/web:input_text[@id='PER_ID' or @name='PER_ID' or @index='0']").getText();
We have already set the event timeouts in OpenScript Preferences -> Playback -> OracleEBS/Forms Functional as
Forms startup time out = 90Sec
Forms Action timeout = 120Sec
Forms Response Timeout = 120 Sec.
OpenScript
Version: 12.4.0.1 Build 139

If it is a name resolution I would try either replacing the server name in the script with the IP address or making an entry in the local host file of the machine trying to play back the script
If you try one or both of those approaches does the script play back?

How to display an element on top of a web object

Hello,
I would like to display some grouped elements on top of a web object in my project.
If you look at the image below, the large black frame is a web object that will play a video in an iframe.
I'd like to put a smart shape (the white outlined box) on top of that web object with a text object inserted and an image button (the X).
The idea is that when the video plays people can see what the video title is and click the X so that the box disappears if they wish to do so.
But even though the group is on top of the web object in the timeline, as soon as the video loads and starts playing the web object takes pole position and the box, text, X, etc disappear.
Any ideas how I can retain the layer order, even when the video starts playing?
Thanks.
R.

What if you use a script and use a image with the video name and the "x" I´m using the google logo as example.
var widget = document.querySelector("[id*='Widget'],[id*='Web']")
var ronanImageTitle = document.createElement("img");
ronanImageTitle.setAttribute("src", "https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png");
ronanImageTitle.setAttribute("style", "position:absolute; z-index:100; top:0; width:50%");
$(ronanImageTitle).fadeIn( "slow" , 0);
$(ronanImageTitle).click(function() {
$(ronanImageTitle).fadeOut( "slow" , 0);
$(widget).append(ronanImageTitle);

Web-object interaction/widget does not appear in published slideshow

I added the web-object interaction/widget using my notes from the instructions in the relevant Lynda.com video (as the Captivate 7 User Guide makes no mention of the web page widget, web-object widget, web object widget, web-object interaction, web-page interaction, web page interaction, or webpage interaction).
The web-object interaction, or web-object widget (or whatever you choose to call the thingie that should provide the user of the published project slideshow with direct interaction with a web page from within one of the slides), it sometimes works in preview; may have worked once when published; but otherwise does not appear on the slide.
On its not appearing in either the published HTML document or the SWF file:
--I had a Continue button on the slide, and tried removing that.
This did not help.
--Because the web-object interaction/widget automatically sets the slide's action on entrance to "Pause," I tried setting it to "No action" (thinking that the slide, being pause on entrance, might never get to the web-object widget/interaction).
This did not help.
--I thought that perhaps navigating in the slide show with various "Jump to slide" settings, I would watch it without navigation.
This did not help.
Any help will be appreciated.

In the published folder, I noticed a SWF called stagewebview. I guess this file has got something to do with Web Object interaction. When we link to published HTML file, this SWF is getting called automatically. But in your case since you are linking to published SWF file, the web object interaction SWF is not getting called. So, is it not possible for you to link it to HTM file?

Web Object not visible in published project

I'd like to use the new web object interaction widget in Captivate 7 to embed a website into a project. Everything works fine as long as I only preview the project in my web browser. But when I publish it and go to the slide where the web object is supposed to be, there's only a blank space. Why?
I've published the project in SWF-Format with eLearning-output set to "AdobeConnect". I tried to switch the option "Scalable HTML content" on and off as I heared that some people are having problems using this in connection with widgets, but no matter whether it's turned on or of, the web object doesn't show up. There must be something very
trivial that I have overlooked since I'm using the web object in the standard way it is meant to be used.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Andreas

Thanks for your advice, but it still doesn't work. I have created a new project for my tests with only the web object in it to make sure no other objects etc. are influencing the output. I published the project and tried to run it on different browsers/operating systems and directly from my hard drive vs. Adobe Connect. The results:
Using my Mac and opening the project with the HTM.-file from my hard drive after I have added the published files folder to the trusted locations for Flash (without this setting, it doesn't work), the web object only appears in Safari, but not in Chrome and Firefox. Using AdobeConnect, it's the same: only Safari.
Using a Windows laptop (again opening the project with the HTM.-file from my hard drive after I have added the published files folder to the trusted locations for Flash), it works with Internet Explorer and Firefox, but not with Chrome. Using AdobeConnect, no browser works. I only get this message:
I can't use the web object when it only loads under very special circumstances. Moreover, I found out, that checking the "Scale HTML content" checkbox in the publish window results in a totally misplaced web widget in those browsers that support the web object. It then looks like this:
I use this option regularly, so this is really a problem for me.
I hope you can tell, what I can do to get the web object running. I simply can't believe that this is the standard behaviour and that everybody else is experiencing the same problems. There must be something I can do to get it running.
I hope you can help.
Best Regards
Andreas

Web object widget (cp7) and TOC

I am using a web object widget to launch MP4 videos (hosted on a progressive streaming server) within my captivate course. I am wondering if there is a way to accurately track the duration (in the TOC) for these videos. The duration displayed on the TOC is only for the captivate slide duration and does not include the video. Any suggestions?

Hi BubbaRB and welcome to the forums. I love it when people have great questions regarding integration.. and this is an area that Adobe Captivate needs to be better at! It would be nice if the stock web page widget in Cp 7 had the ability to substitute Cp user variables in the URL to make for dynamic rendering of the web page, but unfortunately that's a limitation of the stock widget.
The web page widget on CaptivateDev.com is capable of variable substitution in the URL. You just need to enclose the variable with double dollar signs $$cpQuizInfoStudentID$$.
http://captivatedev.com/2012/08/07/adobe-captivate-6-x-widget-web-page-widget/
This widget works for SWF and HTML5 output for Cp 6 and 7 and there's a free trial available.

Web Object Widget non-functional?

Hello again!
So I'm trying to use the web object widget to pull up a surveygizmo survey (which provides handy web links, HTML embeds, java embeds etc.), but it's not loading up. It works only when in previews within Captivate. Once published, it does not work. I have tested it both in our LMS (Cornerstone), and on SCORM Cloud. I've gone even further to change it to the default Bing.com to see if I can even bring anything up with the web object and again tested it on SCORM cloud and even Bing.com wouldn't come up.
Am I doing something wrong, missing something necessary to make the web object widget to work? I've published in both HTML5, SWF, and a SWF/HTML5 combo. Any help would be great! Thanks!

This seems like a similar question - http://forums.adobe.com/message/6142119#6142119
I haven't run into the problem you have, but it sounds like it won't show any Web site once you've published, right?
Is there perhaps some issue with the LMS? Or are you saying it also does not work when you upload it to SCORM Cloud?
I recall I ran into a problem with a Web Object when I had checked off the "Scalable HTML content" during publishing. I don't remember the specific issue, but there was a problem with that.
Best of luck!

Web object not resizing with presentation

I've added a web object in my elearning and published as a flash presentation. When I resize the browser window, the flash presentation resizes, but the web object does not resize. My users will have various screen sizes, so I need the web object to display proportionally to the project size.
I'm using a flash widget, so I cannot publish as HTML5.
Thank you for any help or assistance.

Hi there, unfortunately I don't have the answer but I'd like to support your question as I'm having exactly the same issue.
Cheers,

Web object widget

I have a web object widget which I have linked to the following webpage http://permissions.cla.co.uk/titlesearch.html When I go to view my project the web object does not appear?

Thank you! Only been using Captivate a couple of months.
So, just to confirm. I am unable to view the webpage in normal project view mode - I have to go to view in web browser mode to see the web object?

Web Object web page underneath Captivate

I have a video embedded in a web page. That web page is then inserted into a Web Object. The video controller has a full-screen button. Like this:
When full-screen is activated the video appears BEHIND the Captivate web page like this:
This only happens when published as Flash and viewed in Windows Explorer on Windows 7 (as far as I'm able to test). Of course, this is what our client will be viewing this with. It works just fine On Windows XP, Chrome, Safari and HTML5. In those cases the video appears on top of everything like it should. Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Hello Steverb,
I think by Windows explorer you mean Internet Explorer.
Can you tell me the version of Flash installed along with the version of Internet explorer on your computer ?
Are you trying to open a swf file or a .htm file ? Please open .htm file and then check.
Please create a blank project with only one slide with webobject interaction and see if you are able to reproduce the issue.
Thanks and Regards
