What does work right in Captivate?

I'm getting fatigued by all the issues I've discovered in Captivate and Adobe's total lack of support for these issues.
All they ever want you to do is upgrade for a price.
If anyone can shed some light on the following issues within the next 4 days, I'll be happy and continue my track, creating my courses in Captivate.
After this period, I'm reverting back to my pervious IDE.
My issues are ALL surrounding SCORM2004 publishing and compliance in Captivate eLearning suite 2 (and "No" I'm not updating, spending more money on this suite of disfunctional tools is not being considered).
List of issues:
1. Multi-SCO menu does not correctly display progress in each project.
2. When publishing as SCORM, I am unable to use the #_fs.htm file - captivate is not able to use it.
3. After upgrading to CP 5.0.2, Closed Captions have gone back to the broken state (displaying only in bottom left corner) after I corrected it in CP 5.0.
4. When resizing a project smaller (using equal resize percentages and ensuring Captions and objects get resized) the project and captions resize, but images and image buttons only resize vertically (i.e. they get squeezed vertically but remain the same width).
5. When displaying a project as full screen, you cannot use SCORM support.
6. When using SCORM support, bookmarking does not function.
Scenario: (the first project of my 5 initial projects)
I publish a Multi SCO project consisting of 14 CP5 projects. Each project has buttons that, when clicked, "continue" to the next slide. The TOC reflects completion of each slide in every module.
At the end of each project, the final button jumps to the next project via "File or URL", pointing to the htm start page of that next project.
My projects all contain both slide and object audio, so I'm not going back to CP5.0 due to the loading issue CP5.0.2 corrects.
Using the Multi-SCO-Publisher-2, the LMS menu checks some but not all modules (even though all pages have been completed in each), as well, I may be in module 13 (example) and get bounced back to module 2 (which coincidently has no check beside it).
Question: Why would module 2 not get a check in the Multi SCO menu when I continue on every page and get a completion status on every page in the TOC.
Question: Why would it get all the way to module 13 until it realizes module 2 has no check in the Multi-SCO menu?
I have combed through ALL my files and consistently have the same functions throughout every slide and every last slide - i.e. module 1 through 13 all continue to next pages until last page where it jumps to next URL.
In the case of module 14, I finalize the course with an End button and it closes the course window to return to the LMS.
The user returns to have no completions in the project menu and no checkmarks in each page.
Items 1, 3, 5, and 6 above are essential SCORM functions that fail in Captivate 5. WHY???
Item 4 above is clearly a blatently obvious bug. Why was it not obvious to Adobe in testing?
Item 2 above, is clearly a bother, as we keep having to deal with the end user and the limited browser viewing area they have due to excessive browser tool-bar usage.
If Anyone can assist in resolving these Captivate issues I have, I will even pay for the service - It's just to bad Adobe can't figure them out before they move this overpriced elephant to market.
My final objective is to have a single TOC per course that opens in a new window with no toolbars (like the non-SCORM publish can do), but it must be SCORM2004 compliant AND have bookmarks working.

  • Analog surround sound on Mac -what does work?

    okay, I'm sure this has been covered before, if so- i haven't really heard of it. Are there any options for analog surround sound on the Mac currently , that is, surround sound using the 3 stereo plugs, and not the optical/coaxial digital plug? the latter requires a speaker set with digital input, and I'm not quite ready to sell the speakers I have just for that, not yet
    Oh, and affordable would be great too. Maybe I can find something, but I'm not going to pay $500 just for the firewire box, so I can hook up these speakers to my Mac
    anyways, any replies/advice welcomed
    thanks
    John B

    thanks Mr. Brody, but the firewave isn't being updated and it isn't being sold
    thanks anyways

  • What multifunction printer DOES work with Leopard that is still being sold

    So I have to wait till MARCH for Lexmark to release a driver for this now, boat anchor X9350
    So what does work out there? Print, Fax, Scan multi function.
    HELP!!

    My Brother MFC-7820N works correctly in all aspects. They released a new TWAIN driver on the 25th, but the old one worked too. As a bonus it has Ethernet builtin and can be seen using Bonjour under Leopard. I didn't know it supported Bonjour because it never showed up under Tiger. Now my other home users can print to it while my Mac sleeps. It is also a cost effective MFC.
    I have a separate forum entry about the printer icon popping up in the Dock and staying after the job completes, but that only seem to affect my two other PPC Macs. It can be closed manually. Not a huge issue, but a bit annoying. It didn't have this problem under Tiger and suspect it will be fixed soon.

  • Perfect? No. But hey, thanks for what does wo

    I think I've been pretty even minded regarding Creative's progress with their Vista support for my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. Yeah, lots of stuff doesn't work and some things that worked with prior beta driver versions or even using XP drivers no longer do. Weird needing the earlier non-functional MediaSource software installed for the new one to encode mp3's (unless buying the new codec, which I did to avoid needing to install that old stuff). Limited Soundfont support and only in MediaSource Player. No more AdvancedEQ. No more Dolby Decoding (well, PowerDVD 7 does it). However, I have never had audio not working in Vista. And I have never had less than exceptional sound quality. Now, if I just turn up the bass and treble in Vista's AudioControl it still sounds great even without Advanced EQ. (I would like that back though. No real fine tuning the hardware, just software player eq's this way.)?I've read of lots of problems folks have had, but my headphone jack on the breakout box works. The AudioConsole successfully switches the audio between my headphone being plugged in or my 2. speakers, etc. The CMSS does give me proper seperation with my headphones, speakers. So the basic stuff with slight extra (jack detect, CMSS) work. No audio glitches. And the new driver does fix any problems with accessing the Vista AudioControl, whereas with older beta's the control would only open once and wouldn't remember settings. It now works fine. I only adjust the configuration in Creative AudioConsole though. The documentation said not to use the Vista Speaker setup so I've never opened that. I really have no complaints except to please give us back our advanced features that really make the card's purchase worth it. And do something about MediaSource not knowing we already paid for mp3 encoding when we spent $300 for our retail card. It shouldn't need to have the unoperable cd software installed to know this. So, thanks for not leaving us barren of quality sound like your M-Audio competitors have. Their policy is we have nothing for you and please don't ask us about it. But feel free to keep buying our cards!?Creative could have kept its development entirely in house and not released anything until, or after Vista is in retail outlets and installed on OEM computers in stores. They did not. They could have deleated any forum post references to Vista and simply announced that support for some cards may come when Vista is released or some time thereafter. They did not. They have shared the information regarding the new Vista API's and have related what they will be doing to get things adjusted so they work for most features most people still want from soundcards. Pretty good communication, in my view. As well as pretty darned good support during the beta Vista period. I just hope more is coming than what is provided now. I can switch to my onboard and get similar at the moment. But, thanks for what does work!

  • HT4259 I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2.  But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work.  What does happen is my internet gets block somehow when the Express looks like it's set up and 'green' - no in

    I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2.  But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work.  What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good.  Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
    I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension.  Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express.  But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet.  Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
    If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it.  I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty.  I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

    I finally got it working.  I was trying to set it up ethernet.  My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode.  So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'.  Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it.  So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
    So here's the weird part.  When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options.  One would be 'ethernet' extended.  So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem.  This is when I got frustrated.  I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
    But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options.  One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was).  And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful.  I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from.  It will work if only 3 options come up.  And success if only verified by the big checkmark.  Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
    As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it.  Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with.  It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
    Thanks for the response.  I really do appreciate it.
    Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
    Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
    - configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
    Using Airport 5.6.1
    1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
    2) Following restart, Select Continue
    3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
      - if 4 options are present, may not work
    4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
    5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
    Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
    I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger.  The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
    Thanks again.

    What does it mean when Siri keeps saying, "I can't help you right now, please try again later."?

    Pretty much what it says, SIri can't help you right now.  I suspect it's a location, nework and/or server issue.  Siri is currently Beta and doesn't always work.

  • In Numbers, I can see my documents but they have the top right corner turned over with a down arrow, what does that mean?

    In Numbers, I can see my documents but they have the top right corner turned over with a down arrow, what does that mean? I touch it and nothing happens.
    I have recently done a full restore because my iPad and iPhone were mis-behaving and wouldn't work they way I expected with Windows XP and Outlook 2003 and now when I check iCloud.com, all my documents are gone, yet my iPad hints that they may still be somewhere but where are they?

    That is the orientation lock symbol, you can not go to landscape orientation. Tap the home button twice, swipe the task bar to the right, tap on the 'circle' icon at the left to unlock the orientation. You will then be able to view items in portrait and landscape mode.

  • RealPlayer says I Need to Open a Port For Chat to Work, Am I doing it Right

    I have live feeds for CBS's Big Brother. I'm trying to get on their Chat and I get a Java IOException error, cannot connect to server, etc.
    RealPlayer is insisting I have to open port 21 and/or 6667 in my router (AEBS).
    I entered 21, 6667 in all 4 port fields. Under Private IP address, I put my computer's number. Under "service". I didn't touch that.
    Am I doing this right? Cuz it's still not working for me. I know other Leopard users are able to get into this chat and I think it has something to do with my AEBS. I even loaded the developer version of the latest Java to no avail.
    Suggestions?

    Your firewall is off. That's good for now. Make sure that you Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol in Internet/Internet Connections/NAT tab. Also, do you have a static IP on your machine? Or are you getting your IP via DHCP. This info is in the OS System preferences/Network/Advanced? tab. Then click on the TCP/IP settings.To get the ports forwarded correctly you'll need to set a static IP (manual) on your machine. But you'd think in all their wisdom that Real would have NAT enabled chat. Meaning, you should get out with DHCP and NAT enabled. No forwards needed.
    Setting a static IP on your machine is relatively easy but affects other things on your network and you have to do a bit of planning to set it up.
    In a nutshell:
    Set up an IP address on your machine outside the scope of IP's being distributed by your router.
    Map a port that resolves to that specific port.
    I think you did it right above but didn't possibly have a static ip to resolve to.
    Hopefully I am not confusing you with all this.

  • Images have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail  what does this mean and how do I remove it?

    Q - My images have a
    ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?
    A - The
    ? symbol is used to identify a file that Lightroom can no longer access; probably because it has been moved using OS drag/drop or Move command rather than Lightroom.
    Click the
    ? symbol will cause a small dialog will appear. This dialog will provide information as to where the file was originally located along with an option to find (Locate) it again.
    As you'll quickly realise, clicking the
    ? symbol is fine for finding individual files that may have been relocated, but not for large numbers. There must be a better way
    Look at the Folder panel (left side of Library module) and you should find that the folder/subfolder containing the files that Lightroom can no longer find are shown in Red text. It is the red text that Lightroom uses to help you identify a folder/subfolder that contains files that it has lost track off.
    On the Mac you should
    Ctrl-click (right-click when using two button mouse) the folder/subfolder, a pop-up menu will appear. From the pop-up menu choose the command
    Locate Missing Folder, a dialog should appear. The dialog gives you access to every hard disk connected to your computer or CD/DVDs if they're in the tray. Use this dialog to navigate to the location where the folder is now located, then select this folder (not the files). Finally, press the
    Choose button and allow Lightroom to do its stuff.
    The method described above also applies to the PC version although the dialog is called
    Browse for Folder and the
    Choose button is replaced by
    OK.
    You can avoid getting into a situation were Lightroom looses track of your folders/subfolders by using a variation of above.
