UrlParam problem with Captivate 7 Flash output
Has anyone else had trouble with urlParam in Flash output for Captivate 7? I can't grab the first variable. It works fine with HTML5 output. Here is the script:
var objCP
if (typeof window.cp==='undefined') {
var objCp=document.getElementById('Captivate');
if(objCp && objCp.cpEIGetValue){
isHTML5 = false;
else {
if(cp.vm && cp.vm.getVariableValue){
isHTML5 = true;
var oURL = window.location.href.toString();
var URLparams = new Array();
if (oURL.indexOf("?") > 0){
//var split up by
var sValues = oURL.split("?");
var aValues = sValues[1].split("&");
for (i=0;i<aValues.length;i++){
//split by = sign
var sEquals = aValues[i].split("=");
URLparams[sEquals[0]]=sEquals[1];
setValue('checksum', URLparams);
setValue('csid', URLparams);
setValue('id', URLparams);
function setValue(id, URLParams){
if(isHTML5){
if(typeof window[id] === 'undefined'){
cp.vm.setVariableValue(id, URLparams[id]);
} else {
window[id] =URLparams[id];
} else {
objCP.cpEISetValue(id, URLparams[id]);
function getURLvalue(id, myarray){
for(var i=0; i<myarray.length;i++){
if(myarray[i][0] == id) return myarray[i][1];
return false;
The script is on the entry of the first slide to set the variables as the slide show begins. I did publish to both swf and html5. I'm using the index.html page for the html5 and the other htm page that contains the flash object. I have a php script that detects mobile devices to determine which content is displayed using iframes. I'm not sure what the multiscreen.html page is... ok I just read about the multiscreen and it looks like that page doesn't detect all devices correctly so I'm better off with the php script that I'm using. I'm adding the variable string to each url on the index page and also the htm page for embedded flash content.

Problems with Captivate Redirects, possibly Flash Security and XML
Hello fellow Captivarians,
First a little backstory, earlier in the year we developed a course that heavily used external image files, which were gathered and organised through an XML file, then placed into Captivate 4 through a widget. This was all developed in Actionscript 3 and was designed to be accessed locally, on the user's computer from a CD Drive.
We had a whole deal of issues with Captivate and Flash security issues, finding that we could not get the importing to work correctly in Internet Explorer as it outright refused to import the XML file (Presumably because of security issues). However, Firefox would work fine. Eventually we got it working via a bandaid solution by prepackaging the course with a firefox portable install.
Now many months later, we have discovered our previous solution still works, but it now outright denies any redirects from HTML page to HTML page, regardless if the content is on the CD or if it's on the harddrive. Buttons that link to external sources will not work, (even if it's just a local page in the same directory).Flash player simply refuses to redirect between HTML pages. We tried some older projects that were developed in AS2 - and this wasn't an issue.
The odd thing is however, on my computer it still works fine. However, on everyone elses in our office, it will not redirect at all. We are all running the same version of Flash Player, and the same version of Firefox...
Any ideas? Could it have been a recent update with the Flash Player that prevents this sort of interaction?
Cheers.Hi there
Have you tried configuring the Flash Security Settings? That's my guess.
Click here for a tutorial on how to configure
If this will be on CD-ROM or DVD, you may need to consider adding a light version of a Web Server to the media and launching via that.

Problem with dreamweaver and Flash
Hi, maybe someone can help me, i have any problem with
dreamweaver and flash, i have a page and i have a menu and
sub-menu, and the same page i have a category en flash 550 x 700 (
photography and more... ) but when the menu to unfold
the menu to see under flash and it cant see ( sorry my
english is bad.... i hope you can understand me, and help me.. )
i dont now why always flash ever stay up, or first, and
another information under flash... this a problem... if you have
menus...
thanks.... have nice day.....This is a drawback of using flash or any other active
content. By default, all active content including flash will
display over every other content and thats why your menu stays
under the flash movie. Some people make the flash background
transparent to show content under the flash movie, but that will
not work for menu items.
I would suggest that you make the menu such that it does not
overlap with the flash movie. -
Problem With Captivate 4 and Windows 8
Hi,
I've a problem with Captivate 4 on Windows 8 projects :
The mouse is not tracked.
I've applied the last patch for this version (11/15/2011).
Is there another patch for this ?
Thanks a lot.Hi there
I know this will come off as sounding snarky, but please know it's honestly not intended that way,
Windows 8?
I never was able to make Captivate 4 run successfully on Windows 7. So I'm not the least bit surprised to hear it has issues with Windows 8!
Personally, I'm thinking you are due for an upgrade to Captivate if you want it to work on Windows 8. But then again, I'm not even certain if Captivate 6 is Windows 8 compatible.
Cheers... Rick

Compatibility problem with macro media flash active control
I am getting a message on my screen "compatibility problem with macro media flash active control, it isnt compatible with my version of windows (vista). How can this be fixed? why am I suddenly getting it now? I have the latest Adobe flash player installed.
Trishathe latest flash is probably the problem... it's seems that the latest flash has been causing a boat load of issues. i did a system restore to undo the flash and mozilla upgrades and it's still crashing but not as bad as it was with the upgrades.

It is normal for it to get warm when it's being used, especially if it is hot outside. It can even get uncomfortably warm. As long as it is not causing you physical harm (as in giving you burns) or displaying a temperature warning, then it's normal behavior. It's like taking your laptop outside and using it. Except the laptop will probably burn you. -
Problems with Captivate 5, LMS, and AS3
I recently acquired Captivate 5 and I am having difficulty getting it to work with our LMS (Plateau). When I publish a presentation to AICC using Captivate 5, and try to load it in the LMS, it doesn't get past the loading page. I've tried it with an existing course, and I've tried making a simple (3 slides with a text box) new presentation in Captivate 5 and I have the same problem. However, the .swf and .htm files load fine when viewed directly. It's only when run through the LMS that I have a problem.
I was able to reproduce the problem with Captivate 4 by publishing to ActionScript3. It worked fine when I used AS2. Unfortunately, Captivate 5 doesn't allow publishing to AS2, so I'm at a loss of how to address this.
Any suggestions? Is anybody else experiencing this problem?What brand is your LMS? (What manufacturer)
What versions of SCORM does it support?
What version of ActionScript does your LMS support? AS2 or AS3?
Have you tried uploading a short Captivate 5 lesson with only a few slides and one or two questions (example: True False question)?
If you have Captivate 3 or 4, have you tried uploading a lesson in AS2 to see if your LMS accepts it?
We need more information than just saying: Course not work.
Test first on very simple short lessons to make sure the LMS will accept Captivate 5 content at all. If it will play simple content, try more complex content.
Your issue could be caused by some component or object in the course, or it could be some issue with the LMS. At this stage we do not know the cause, but it can often be determined by testing with simple projects first and then adding complexity until something breaks. -
Problem with SAP Script FAX output
Hi Friends,
I have problem with SAP Script Fax output.
After I issued output using the messge type, the print preview format shows me correct alignments and the right data. But when I go to List display using the menu bar functions from the print preview screen, the list is showing me the right data, but all the alignments at the main window went wrong.
How do I rectify this problem? I need correct alignments in both form display and list display.Hi Sasidhar,

I recently updated a sound file in a flash movie. I had some aif files that I updated with a mp3 sound file. Within my movie there is a script for a replay button. It plays back fine when I play it, but when I press the replay button, it doesn't replay the sound, only the movie. Hope I'm making sense, any ideas why I get no sound when I replay the movie?
Sorry about that, I'm a bit of a newborn at this so I may say something stupid from time to time.
As I said, "nav" is the image for the replay button
The code for level0 is this
_level0.doTimer();
The rest of the code is
_level0.controlsDisabled = true;
//as : Frame 1299
stop();
// what's nav. is that the movieclip the "replays"?
nav.play();
// what's _level0.doTimer() (copy and paste that code)
_level0.doTimer();
_level0.controlsDisabled = true;

Problem with textboxes in Flash CS5
Hi, I am currently a Flash CS4 user and am trying Flash CS5 currently to see if it is worth it to pay for the upgrade. I currently have a problem with the use of textboxes in CS5 comparing with the previous version. When I try to change the texts of a text box using the following command in actionscript:
showlmytext.text = "My string: " +String(somevariable);
I would get weird misaligned text outputted in my textbox, which exact same code did not cause this problem on Flash CS4.
Can somebody please tell me what is the problem and how can I fix it?
ThanksHi Mario,
I hope you are well. My name is Sandi Langlotz.
At my job at greenidea.com, here in SF; I am having difficulty with using Hebrew in the trial download of CS5 Flash. Russ Mumford my boss has also contacted you regarding our problem.
Flash has a new TLF (Text Layout Format tool). My difficulty has to do with text boxes that are formatted for Right to Left text, with Hebrew selected as the Locale. We are pasting from Microsoft Word.
I hope that you may have a suggestion, a referral or a possible work around for me to try.
I have tried Adobe Customer Service several times to no avail.
Problem 1.
The first sentence below, (in blue) is correct format for Hebrew. Hebrew reads from R to Left.
When I paste the Hebrew text into the Flash animation, one of two things can happen;
the punctuation is cut off of the left side completely; or it is pasted in to the Right side of the Text box, (at the wrong end of the sentence).
I have tried to click the cursor into the left in order to insert the punctuation mark; this works sometimes but often I am unable to click in to manually correct the problem. I don't understand why it is cutting it off, or why I am sometimes unable to click into the left side and insert the punctuation.
Problem 2
In the second paste (the 2nd bold sentence), .CSO on the left side of the sentence is correct, as is the rest of the sentence.
When I paste the text into Flash from Word, Flash puts it in as reversed order. the word CSO. has the punctuation switched to the right (CSO.) Flash reverses the order of the other characters in the sentence also (like in the 2nd black sentence).

Adobe says it supports Right to Left text, but I can find no info on these two buggy problems. Do you have any idea what is wrong?
Thank you ahead of time for any info or referrals you may suggest.

Hi,
I have a little problem with the Captivate KO. I built five
Captivate KO up to an Interaction-icon as HotSpots. The problem is,
that after finishing the Flash-movie there is only a white
presentation window. AW doesn't go back to the Display-icon, where
you can choose the HotSpots. The properties of the HotSpots are
"Perpetual", "Branch: Return" and "Erase: On Exit". I've tried on
"Erase: After Next Entry", it's the same result as "On Exit", both
are finishing with a white window. I've tried "Before Next Entry"
also, but the Flash doesn't play.
Does anyone know what I have to do, that AW goes back to the
Display-Icon?
Many thank's for any help!
hannahIf the hotspot branching is set to Return then they must be
perpetual.
Is there a reason that needs to be? Can you put the image on
the
interaction icon, make the hotspots not perpetual and set
them to
Continue - so when the KO is complete it loops back to the
interaction
icon and redisplays the image you want to show...
Do you have anything holding the flow at the KO while it
plays? If not,
then surely the flowline in hitting the KO then jumping right
back
(Returning) to where it came from...though it's then odd that
the
'Erase: On Exit' is not erasing the KO contents (maybe; I've
never used
that KO).
Trace your flowline and/or hit ctrl-b on occasion to see
where in the
flowline your course is at any given point - then maybe you
can
determine how and when to make the display reappear. My guess
is you'll
need an erase icon to erase the Flash sprite/control which
may be the
white area you see covering your display.

Problem with Safari and Flash Player
Hi, I've done a quick search and can't find an answer, however since updating from Lion to Mountain Lion I've had problems with my (2011) Macbook Pro whilst in Safari, following a Genuis bar visit last week we managed to narrow it down to a flash player problem and uninstalled and reinstalled flash was told that should the problems persist (we couldn't get the computer to repeat it's beahviour in store) then to re-install OSX, now I've done this but still getting the same problem, screen not refreashing so parts of previous page or pop still showing over top of new page and Computer getting VERY hot (to the point of almost burning. Now I've had a look on Adobe website and they recommend running 10.3 rather than 11.4 and I managed to download it from them however Safari blocks it as it's out of date, also on my iMac running Mountain Lion Flash appears to be blocking internet access, internet fails when attempting to use a website that needs flash, but works fine when not using it. Anyone got any ideas on a work around?
Try this...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab. Click: Delete All
Relaunch Safari.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select: Clear History (also empties the cache)
Deselect the remaining boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a Flash based video. -

Problem with lines in Flash!!!
Hello, I am currently using flash cs5.5. I am not having any software malfunctions or anything like that, I am just having a prolem with lines. When drawing with the pen, (or even pencil tool), is there anyway to make the lines you draw one solid line when you're done? For example, if tracing with the pen tool, each time you put an anchor, it creates a different line, which is fine while you're drawing it. I'm wondering is there anyway to select a certain amount of lines and make them one solid line? Let's say I am drawing an ear with the pen tool; by the time i am done drawing it, it is made up of 3 seperate lines. I did not know if there was anyway to select those three lines and make them one solid line? I know that I can double-click, but I just want to select the ear, not the entire head, (which is what happened when I double-click).
Hopefully I got my question across, I'm not really sure how to describe it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also too, on a 100% different note, I am also running into a different problem with lines. When drawing with the pencil tool, everytime I trace something with curves or bumps, by the time I let off the tablet, (this is not a tablet problem), the line with be in 100 different segments, even though I drew the line with one solid motion. It seems to do it more when I am working within a symbol. I do not know if there is a fix for this or not, but again, any help is greatly appreciated.
Please do not get confused, both of these problems are 100% different from each other. The first is just something I am wondering if it exists. The second is more of a malfunction/glitch with the progam. Thanks again!Not sure if I understood you completely but let me suggest you a couple of things.
1. Try drawing in Object mode. (available lower down in the tools panel. shortcut - J)
The entire shape you draw now without releasing your mouse button will be treated as one shape object. These can be selected independently, broken apart (Ctrl + B) and even combined (Modify Menu -> Combine Objects -> Union). You can perform all the normal shape editing tasks as well on shape objects directly.
2. For Pencil/brush tools, you can set the curve smoothness for your tools from the Properties panel -> Smoothness option.
If you already have a line or curve drawn on Stage with too much of segmentation, you can select it then goto bottom of the Tools panel and click on Smooth button multiple times till you get the desired smoothness.,
Hope this helps! Let me know in case of any doubts.
