Web Object Interaction in CP7

I've been experimenting with the Web object Interaction in CP7. The Techworld link I'm using is fine when it's entered directly in the browser - it shows the article, and also login/register links to sign in. However, when I launch it from the interaction, it just brings up the login/register links without the article.
Does anyone know why? I've tried it in the same window and a separate window that's 1000x800, and the result's the same.

Just a follow-up to this. I think what it's doing is showing the page without any formatting - the secure view. I'll link directly to the page instead of using the widget, I guess.
Edit: Linking directly to the page didn't help, but when I published it onto our web server and tested it from there, it behaved correctly. I think it's one of my security programs, probably ThreatFire, that's catching the link and forcing it to display only the secure view.
In any case, all is well...

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.

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

Web object widget within a lightbox

Hi there,
I am creating a lightbox interaction in Captivate 7 that contains the Web object interaction widget.
When I preview it by pressing F12, the widget does not appear.
I have added all the proper advanced action scripting and everything else is working but not the widget.
Any thoughts on what might be the issue?
Thanks in advance

Try uploading to a web server and testing from there.

Adobe Captivate - Web Objects

Im having a problem publishing web objects in a Captivate project. When creating, the web objects are working in the preview mode, but show blank after publishing.

I am assuming you are referring to Web Object interaction here. Upload your course to a web server or SCORM Cloud and check if you still get the same error.
Sreekanth

CP 8 crashes and closes when using the web object.

Adobe Captivate 8 is crashing when using the web object, give me a box which says I need to close the program. How can I fix this issue?

Hi There,
Can you please confirm your operating system ? Do you have the full administrative rights ? Are you getting any error when trying to insert Web Object interaction ?
Would like to inform you Captivate 6 onwards interactions have been uploaded on server. Captivate pings this server on a regular basis, If there is any firewall or strict network policy then it might take some time to check the URL or might be result in crash or freeze.

Captivate7 Web Object Issue

My web object interaction doesn't show when I publish with reporting disabled. Works fine when I preview in a web browser or publish to SCORM. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, it's on the same server. I'm keeping everything that Captivate publishes in the folder that it creates. When I post the folders on our SharePoint site and open the html file, the module plays perfectly until the web interaction slide. The web interaction slide looks blank, plays for the correct slide time, and advances to the next slide where everything works fine. This is the same when I try to open the html file locally on my computer. But, when I preview the file in Captivate, or publish a SCORM zipped folder and access it in our LMS, it works perfectly.

Publishing Projects with Web Objects and YouTube Interactions

How do I publish projects with Web Objects and YouTube interactions to ensure they appear in my published project?
I am trying to publish my project, which contains Web objects and YouTube interactions, and they will not appear if I publish them either as swf or html (sometimes the Web object will appear, but not the YouTube interactions). Both objects work if I preview them on the stage.

Hi,
You need to copy your published output to any web server to make Web Objects and Yout Tube interaction work.

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.

JSP-BPM Process-Web Service interaction

Hi all
I am new to Oracle bpm studio. I am having one very important question.
I want to understand the JSP-BPM-Webservice interaction in Oracle BPM studio BPM Process, as we have an enterprise application having servlets, ejbs, etc, for these servlets & ejbswe are creating web services to expose their functionality, through a BPM process. We have created jsps for showing the result fetched from the external web services imported in our BPM process.
So in brief, jsp and external webservices are imported in our BPM project, configured as interactive & global activity respectively.
Please guide us for the JSP-BPM-Webservice interaction.
How to make the webservice working in response of the jsp, getResult Button? So that on pressing the button on jsp the webservice can return the result and the result can be diplayed on another jsp?
How to bind the webservice with bpm object, and pass the values through the bpm flow?
Could you please guide me through this small demo application?
Please please please reply my question, eagerly waiting for your reply.......................................
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sujata
Yes we did the same, as given in some tutorials how to create the "Web service catalogue component", we did it, introspected the webservice.
Now we need to pass the inputs to the add method of the web service, so that it can return the result back to the jsp. So in order to achieve this we created one interactive activity component & object for jsp in the main BPM process and for the same jsp, one interactive activity component in the screenflow, and to interact with the webservice, we created the global activity in the main BPM process. We edited this global activity and dragged the add method definition there.
So now we are facing issues with jsp-web service interaction, they are not interacting, so we want somebody to guide us how to enable this with step by step instructions if somebody has done it already. We have already gone thru a lot of tutorials & forum but we want to resolve this asap.
Thanks & Regards

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

Captivate 7 Web Object Not Scrolling on iPad

I've inserted a web object in to my project and filled it with text so that it requires scrolling. The project has been published as HTML5 with no scalable HTML content.
Scrolling works fine on PC but not on iPad (iOS 7). I'm guessing that this is down to the usual iFrame issues on iOS devices so I'm looking for a reliable way to get around this issue.
I'd be grateful if anyone has any suggestions.
As an aside, the main reason I'm looking to implement a web object is that I need to be able to style individual words within large amounts of text. Unfortunately this doesn't seem possible using the scrollable text interaction so I've had to resort to searching for an alternative solution, in this case pulling in an external HTML file with styled text in it. The full discussion is here for anyone who's interested: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5775245#5775245
Thanks.

Does your Web Interaction show "Updated" on it? If not, you probably have older version of it. Apparently, the issue is already fixed in the updated version. Here is a screenshot.
You get this updated version automatically. If not, you can contact any Adobe support staff and they will provide you one.

Why Does Adobe Captivate 8 Web Object Not Get Published Correctly

Hi
I am trying to insert a YouTube video in Adobe Captivate and publish it. While it previews fine, when i publish it as an SWF, i see just a blank frame.
Can you help out here? Also, if I want to publish it as an PDF, will the video play there too?
Warm Regards
Akshay

Hi Akshay,
I am assuming the method you are using now is embedding Youtube videos into your Web object. My suggestion is it will be much easier if you use the Youtube Learning Interaction instead of a Web object to insert Youtube videos to your Captivate project.
This can be found in the Interactions Toolbar -> Learning Interactions -> Youtube
Also, as Sreekanth mentioned, please test it on a web server, or SCORM cloud.
Youtube interaction will work when exported to PDF as well.

Mohana

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
Cheers

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
