White Slide with Play Button (HTML5), Cp7

Does anyone know why you get the blank white screen with a play button with HTML5? Why doesn't it use first frame or allow us to put in a "poster file"?
I posted a workaround that required editing files in Cp6 but I am curious if Cp7 has addressed this issue?
Thanks.
Dave

The same workaround is reuired.
Go in assets and change the .CSS then you also need to edit the index.html to center the image like you did before.
And yes it is impossible to get rid of it all toghether because of Apple policies.

How can i control a slider with a button.

Is it possible to control a slider with a button? It works like a automatic sliding gate. Is it possible? Where when you open the gate, it will slide slowly.. And can anyone help me with this..

I was bored...
The way this usually works is that I think of a simpler implementation once I click the Submit button...

Reset Slide with Audio on Enter CP7 HTML5

I have a slide with some audio and animation (captions fading in and out) on the timeline that is triggered by a play/pause button with some Advanced Actions attached to it to toggle the buttons and resume and pause the timeline.
However, if I navigate through this slide to another slide my buttons get confused when I re-enter the slide with audio and require me to click/toggle them a couple of times to get them to work.
The solution I think I need is to be able to reset the slide with audio every time I enter it. Is this possible and can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks.

Buttons are text buttons sitting side-by-side, not stacked. The buttons appear only for the duration of the slide.
The result I wanted was a total reset of the slide, essentially for the play button to be visible each time and for the audio/animation to be restored to their original states. This has now been achieved thanks to your guidance.
I've switched a couple of things (see screen grabs) to enable the play button to be visible on entering the slide as I don't want the audio/animation to autoplay, I'd prefer this to be user-initiated. I know you'll know what I've done by looking at the screen grabs but I've included some notes in case this might help anyone else.
1. Set slide to display play button, hide pause button and continue to the first pause that is on my timeline (in this case the pause appears after 1.5 seconds) on enter:
2. When play button is clicked it is hidden and the pause button is displayed. Continue plays the slide.
3. When the pause button is clicked it disappears and the play button is displayed. The slide is paused.
Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated.

End of slide - click play button

My presentations have audio narrations of varying lengths.
The beginning of the presentation indicates that the users need to
click play to advance from slide to slide, but it appears some
users are unsure when a slide has ended so they sit there for a
while before they get around to hitting the play button to advance
(I don't want to auto-play the presentation because I want them to
have more control over navigation and to prevent them from just
spacing out and losing track of where they are). I find it
annoyingly repetitive to say something like "Click play to
continue" at the end of each slide - and since many slide have
Captivate animations covering the whole screen, having a text
prompt display doesn't seem like it would work very well.
Has anyone experimented with either using some kind of tone
or sound to indicate the end of a slide, kind of like they do on
some language tapes to indicate the user needs to do something? Or
else is there an actionscript way to make the play button highlight
in an obvious way?
Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!

Flash movies with play button don't work

I have the 'simple' problem that everytime I see a "play" button on a web page with flash content, clicking on it won't start the movie. However, e.g. YouTube movies work fine. So it seems it's just movies that do not start automatically after clicking on a link.
Also, checking the flash player e.g. at the Adobe site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html), tells me in a flash box I have the latest flash player installed, and I see the flash movie 'flash player is running on your system' with the red ball rolling in it.
I have the same problem for both google Chrome and for IE.
I still have an old Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook with Win XP (latest updates) and ATI mobility Radeon X300 graphics chip, for which I also installed the latest available drivers.
Experimenting with Flash Player settings was unsuccessful so far (e.g. no hardware acceleration, clearing all internet data in the Flash Player global settings tool).
My desktop (also with Win XP and with the same browsers and Flash Players/Flash Plugins installed works fine...).
I also know that it worked at an earlier time with this NB...
I managed to run the movie with a Linux Live CD but that is not what I want to do every time...
Any idea is highly appreciated.....

Hi BalusC, i have saved the datamodel (a ArrayList) in SessionBean. It can't be null. The rows of table display correct. I don't understand, why functions buttons with ObjectArrayDataProvider, but not with ObjectListDataProvider?
I found a page with same problem: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=549675&tstart=30

MAKE EMBEDDED QUICKTIME WITH PLAY BUTTON IN FRAME

Hello does anyone know how to make an embed quicktime with a play button in the video frame so it has a poster frame and a button on it and wont play until it is clicked on

It's known as a poster movie. The first file acts as either a placeholder (or a button) that is linked to the second file.
You can use any image format to create your click to play "button" and add it to a single frame from your movie or to another image. Size this 16 pixels higher than your movie source file if you plan on showing the movie controller and save it as poster.mov.
Your html code will have this poster movie load and nothing further will happen until your visitor clicks on it. Once clicked the second .mov file will begin downloading and then playing. You can also use this poster movie technique to load a second movie directly in the QuickTime Player app.

One of mine. Take a look at the page source to understand the "href" and "target" tags.

Cp6: How to stop a slide with multiple buttons in a non-linear presentation?

Hello,
I would be most thankful for a solution to this issue, as I haven't managed to find one yet in this forum.
The presentation is non-linear, which means that the first slide is a kind of menu from which you can choose another slide to explore, and always return to the first one.
Each slide has several buttons that activate various audio files, and there is an arrow button in the lower right corner to jump to the first slide.
The problem is that the slide does not stop after some audio buttons are clicked, and continues onto the following slide (instead of pausing until the arrow button is clicked). When I click a few buttons and listen to the audio, eventually the slide automatically continues to the next slide.
I have tried:
adding a click box on top of that button with ''pause project until user clicks'
changing all the buttons to Timing -> Pause after ...
changing only the arrow button to Timing -> Pause after ...
and don't want to make the time of the slide unnecessarily long
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
best

Hi Lilybiri,
Thank you so much for you reply, and the video instruction. Indeed, I had simple actions for the video, and now I have replaced these with advanced actions it is working fine - yey! It's a pity though that such a simple action requires such a convoluted way, especially because my presentation will be full of short audio files (= loads of scripts). I see that you are an expert in using Captivate, so this is still probably the easiest way to resolve the problem.
Anyway, I guess my situation is exceptional, because I am using Cp for an online artwork
Thanks again!

Stop on last slide with active buttons

Hi everyone,
Am still a beginner with Captivate...please help:
I've got 4 buttons set up on the last slide of Movie1, functioning as a simple menu, sort of.
First button goes to Movie 2, second button jumps to Movie 5, third button jumps to Movie 8, with a last WATCH ALL button starting from Movie 2 as well. All these movies are linked to each other (ie. movie 3 starts when movie 2 finishes).
How do I get the Movie1 to stop on the last slide, with all 4 buttons remaining active?
In my published exe, the buttons work if and only if I click on them before the project comes to a stop.
Thanks loads in advance!

Hello again
While you can't really accomplish it with the Buttons as they stand, you can do something I did. Be creative! I inserted some "disabled" images of the buttons. Staged the images to be present when the Buttons could not be clicked. Then configured the Buttons to appear at the times when I wanted them to.
Here's a hint. If the Buttons are always in the same place, you may insert the "disabled" image on the first slide and configure it to display for the rest of the project.
Cheers... Rick

.swf files with imported video are just white slides with no audio.

Hello there,
I had been using Adobe Presenter 7 until recently and I have now upgraded to Presenter 10 for use within Powerpoint 2013. Unfortunately I am having quite a few issues with it.
I am using it to make presentations built up of imported video files, as I had been doing before with Presenter 7 without any issue. I typically have a presentation of 6 parts and import each video file ~80MB Mp4 into a single slide then name each slide adding a presenter and output it to an 'swf' file. This worked fine in Presenter 7.0.7. Now my issue is that the output will load the player it will have the correct presenter, and timings on the chaptered sidebar but when it plays the presentation area of the screen is just white, there's no audio, no video just the correct time for each section. I've checked the output folder the individual video files will play within windows media player without issue.
It should be noted that the html5 only version works fine, until uploaded to a web server and then it will not load any of the player with IE11 (I can't test it in other browsers).
I would appreciate some help with this if anyone has any ideas to fix this.
Many thanks

Well make sure you have read and write permissions on the file. Do a get info in the video (command-I) and alter it as necessary.

I inserted a HTML5 video in page, when I test it in a Browser, I see the poster image and controls, But when I click play button the video goes white, slider moves like its playing, but just white picture. There was no audio included in video. Please help

Without a link, it's anybody's guess.
It could be a problem the video rendering itself. Which software did you use?
Did you export to the 3 file types -- MP4, OGG and WEBM to support all browsers?
Does your web server support those 3 MIME file types?

HTML5 and the White Screen/ Play Button Conundrum

I'm publishing a session to Scormcloud.com as HTML5. I have to have a playbar with a play button, or I'm stuck on a white screen.
I'd like to remove that button, but if I do, the session will never play past the white screen. I've looked at all of the existing options online to address this... please help.
This is the same in both CP7 and CP8

I am experiencing the same issue as well. I do not recall this happening in my previously published project. Then went back in for a revision and am now experiencing this. Wonder if this came after Captivate was updated to 7.0.1.237.
Even with Autoplay turned off and no Play Bar I would be happy with the user having to click a play icon to start the project. Except this update seems to be causing the Play icon to become static and overlay every slide in my project!
Very frustrating. Have searched the web and have not found any REAL solution yet. Looks like it may be a Chrome compatibility issue. As you can see at the end it is only a temp fix because once the coding becomes a norm you have to go back and change the source files again.

Why do I keep getting a white screen and just play button when previewing in browser? CP 7 and 8

It doesn't matter what I try, I just keep getting a white screen show up with a play button in the middle. Once I have pressed the play button in the middle the rest of the slides play, this is not good - I need to ensure company logo is first thing users see.

Play button displaying on all slides

When I view a published project in SCORM cloud or in Moodle the play button displays on every slide. This doesn't happen when i view the project locally.
Does anyone know how to stop this? I can't use auto play as this is not compatible with html5 output.

My iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?

Hello Friends,
I've two iPod Nanos (4th gen - 8GB). I'm facing a severe problem with both of them. For both iPods, I tried to do this method Simultaneously press the top button + home (central) button. But of no use.
1. My first iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?
2. My second iPod is facing more severe problem. None of the buttons are working. When I connect it my PC it showing "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting". But it is not ejecting with all the usual methods. When I manually and physically disconnect it from the PC the same "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting" is still showing till the battery goes off. After that if i press any button it is showing low battery signal. And when i re-connect it to the PC the same process is repeating. When I tied to restore it to the factory settings I'm getting "Error" report.
(I'm using windows 7)
Friends, Please help me with the above problems. It will be a great help.
Thank You.
R.SAMALA

Sounds like some hardware issues, meaning you'll want to take or send the iPods in for service or repairs. You can choose to have Apple do an out of warranty exchange for the prices indicated in the link below or find another third party service perhaps even local to your area.

Play Button with Transition

I am trying to create an initial slide that will look similar to a video played on Youtube. I would like the user to click on a Play Icon which triggers a transition to fade out and then start the presentation.
Any ideas how I would do this?

Hi,
By default Captivate generated files plays automatically. There is an option to start playing the movie on demand.
Open your project in Captivate and follow Edit> Preferences > Project > Start and End > Uncheck the "Auto Play" check box. This will insert a play button and in the published file until user clicks on the play button movie does not start playing.
Now to trigger a transition on clicking the play button insert a blank slide with background similar to your presentation.Let the blank slide be the first slide. Reduce its slide time. In the Slide properties of the Blank slide change its transition. Now a transition effect gets created after clicking on the play Button.
Hope this helps !!
