Why cant i work with CS3 programs exept flash?

hi all here - i am new
I tried captivate, because I thougt it would be a tool to
make screen recordings for e-learning. Like to explain people how
to use a software or a backoffice.
But I am getting frustrated now.
I cannot export anything except flash. But I dont wann use
flash. What for?
I am not doing Powerpoint crab.
I bought the "master collection CS3" and didn´t find a
program to make screen recordings.
So I was searching for a software compatible to my CS3 suite.
But I cannot work with those files in Soundbooth, Premiere
Pro of after effects.
I would like to clean the sound and convert the file in
different file formats with the media encoder.
So for what do I really need Captivate if it doesn´t
work together with the other programs?
Is there annother software from Adobe to help me?

Hi Pedro Hofmann and welcome to our community
As you have seen, Captivate is not part of the CS3 suite. It
IS however, part of a different suite. One that is known as
the "Technical Communication Suite" or TCS. That particular suite
contains Framemaker, Acrobat Pro 3D, Captivate and RoboHelp.
Captivate does indeed create e-learning. However, it is a
slide based system similar to PowerPoint. But the end result is
something that is often referred to as a "movie". If you record in
Demonstration mode, it is played back without pausing and with
mouse movements and whatnot. The illusion is that you end up with a
full motion video.
Yes, the output is Flash based. In other words, it relies on
the Flash Player (in the web Browser typically) to present your
output to the user. This is largely because the Flash Player is so
pervasive and has deep penetration. Something like 98-99% of the
browsers in use are "Flash Capable". This is a good thing, as it
means that you don't have too many concerns with ensuring a
specific player or viewer is installed.
Captivate
can be exported to Flash for further or more detailed
tweaking. But it's not yet perfect. One may wonder why it's not
"quite there yet". And for those folks, it's good to keep in mind
that Adobe didn't create Captivate and hasn't had it all that long.
Adobe got Captivate when they acquired Macromedia. And Macromedia
only had it a very short time. They acquired it from eHelp
corporation. And eHelp corporation acquired it from the original
owners and creators. That company was Nexus Concepts.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • [js] CS Scripting not working with CS3

    Hello,
    We had a JavaScript made for us that enabled the user to exchange certain text within a document.
    This script works fine with CS (Ver.3.0.1) but gives a JavaScript Error - #55, Error String: Object does not support the property or method 'findPreferences' with CS3 (Ver.5.0)
    I have tried 'tinkering' around with the scripting - but I have zero experience with JavaScript and have not found a solution.
    Additionally the people that wrote the initial script are not available.
    I have bought several books but they all seem like alien-language to me
    Below is the section of origional CS scripting.
    Can anyone point out to me WHY this script does not work with CS3?
    And WHERE I should start looking - changing?
    Thanks in advance for your help and guidence.
    Lee
    // Exchange the text
    function actProjectData(oneDoc, oneResult){
    app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;
    oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[0],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myProjectTitleCharStyleNa me)}, undefined);
    oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[1],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferNoCharStyleName)}, undefined);
    oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[2],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferDateCharStyleName) }, undefined);
    app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;

    > Come to think of it, maybe it's easier to create a folder "Version 4.0 Scripts" under your scripts folder and place your CS script in there. Maybe that will do the trick. Should have thought of that earlier.
    Tried this, but it didn't seem to do anything... But certainly a 'try' worth.
    Currently playing around with the:
    > app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "a";
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "b";
    oneDoc.changeText();
    I've got to the point where I have no error messages :-) Now I'm really flying.....
    Fact is - not all text and also the wrong text is replaced!!!
    I'm currently playing with the script to try and replace
    all texts with a given paragraph style with the entered text...
    Not proving to be simple for me, but I'm learning rather a lot!
    Now that doesn't sound very clear when I go back and read it!
    What I want to say is:
    Each page of the document has the project name, No & Date on it (each having their own paragraph style)
    so
    With this script it asks you the Project name, No. and Date and then goes
    through the whole document and replaces all instants of those texts with specific paragraph styles with the newly 'entered' text.
    Proving to be a little mountain for me - Thought it would only be a hill!

  • What version of lightroom works with CS3?

    What version of Lightroom works with Photoshop CS3?

    They are different programs, so I imagine they all work with CS3.  I don't use Lightroom, but I think Lightroom's ability to interface with Photoshop has evolved over the different versions, but I can't think how the Photoshop version would affect that, so the later the Lightroom version, the better. 
    BTW Lightroom 6 is rumoured to be coming very soon.

  • HT201343 My MBP is Early 2011 but dunno why cant use mirroring with apple TV, the icon cannot be found

    My MBP is Early 2011 but dunno why cant use mirroring with apple TV, the icon cannot be found. So cannot use mirroring.
    I have follow trouble shooting , they recommend to go system preference -> display , thus can find out the mirroring icon if no mean it doesnt support. But according to the web, Early 2011 MBP should be able to use, dunno why.

    Just realise I havent updated my OS to mountain lion and this is the reason why I cannot use mirroring before ^^
    Thanks all

  • I need to install Internet Explorer 6 or greater on my iMac to work with a program.  How is the best way to do that?

    I need to install Internet Explorer 6 or greater on my iMac (intel processor) running MacOS 10.6.8 to work with a program.  How is the best way to accomplish this?

    There is no way.  IE has not been available for the Mac for years now.
    Your only option is to install native Windows and use that - either through a bootcamp dual-boot scenario, or use a virtual machine to run windows in (eg. Parallels or VMWare Fusion).  Either way, you will need a full retail install disk for Windows.
    P.S. the last version of IE for Mac was for PPC machines, and it was discontinued in 2003.

    Has anyone had success in enrolling in the "Works with iPhone" program? I am designing an accessory right now but have not heard back from Apple. How long did it take to get a response? What was the process you went through?

    No. I am already part of that.
    This program is if you wanted to design your own stereo that works with the iPhone (for example).

    So I cannot scan my pictures, help.  Windows 8.1 with HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer.  Scanner works with other programs in my PC.  Problem is PS12

    I bought the Officejet 6500A Plus about one month and have experienced the very same problem. I tried to remedy this problem following suggestions in a number of different posts (static IP, router, firewalls etc), all to no avail. Last week I called support. The support I received by the tech over several hours and different days for a week was very good. However none of his suggestions corrected the connection issue. After today's recommended fix failed, he advised HP is aware of this issue with the 6500 and other affected printers. He claimed HP was working on a firmware upgrade. He did not know when the update would be provided. The tech also claimed HP acknowledged this problem in a written announcement. He agreed to email the announcement to me. I haven't received it. This has been the only problem I've had with the 6500

  • Why ship Google Chrome with security updates to Flash Player

    I do not want it, I will not install it, it wastes time downloading. Stop sending it to me.

    I remember the European Competition authorities made a judgement against Microsoft for only shipping Internet Explorer with Windows. How can you only ship the Chrome option with Adobe updates, why do you not give users the option to download other browsers?

  • When Firefox in minimized and I'm working with another program, why does it automatically maximize (pop up) every 10 minutes?

    I'm using Windows 7 and Firefox 8.0.1 on a PC. This is frustrating. I like Firefox, but it keeps popping up every 10 minutes when it's minimized and I'm working in another program. I can't continue to use it if this can't be fixed. I just switched from 3.6 and never had any problems. Also, no settings have been changed.

    Great suggestion! It looks like one problem has been solved. I started Firefox in safe mode and the problem didn't occur. Then I restarted in regular mode and individually disabled one add-on at a time. What I found is that with Better Privacy disabled, the pop-up no longer occurred. So step one, identifying the source of the problem, is complete. Now onto step two, finding out what setting in Better Privacy is causing the problem. There's nothing that stands out to me as the culprit. Any ideas? Thanks again!

  • WHY WONT VIDEORECORDE  WORK WITH IMAC ?

    I have a Panasonic video recorder GS35, I cant seem to get it to work with my mac or mac programs... is it not compatiable at all? it will work with parallels on the pc side, but I would like to use my imovie program. This is my first year with a mac, and I truly love it, but do I have to buy a new camcorder ? Or better yet... what I am doing wrong? :o)

    I connect with a usb, but mac doesnt recognize the recorder at all. now the software that came with the recorder says it is only pc compatible, so i cant download the software or drivers... is that why? i am using the usb behind the screen of imac, not the keyboard.

  • I´m a student, working with CS3 indesign, it won´t install again completely

    I´m a student, working with indesign CS3- it won´t
    install again completely and all other adobe programs are not willing
    to work (f.e. reader). What can I do?

    Hi Mylenium
         After updating the adobe license didn´t work any longer for the
    second time, since I bought. First time CS3 cleaning tool was the
    solution. But this time it is not possible just to open the
    CS3cleaning tool document(PDF)- not with adobe reader, also not with
    foxit for example. I removed all adobe stuff to install again, but
    installation doesn´t work for  the important components- photoshop
    etc. At first also adobe reader didn´t work (System told me, to
    install photoshop before:-) But after some deinstallation and
    reinstallation now just the new downloaded adobe reader X happily
    works again. Only solution to reinstall the whole system?? (medion
    professional PC, windows vista 5,0 - 2 GB, 32 Bit)
         Thank you for help

  • Will Lion work with older programs

    I have lots of older programs including Adobe CS, Adobe CS3, Eudora 6.2, etc. that work fine on my iMac running 10.6.8 with i3 processor, will they work with Lion if I upgrade? Just checking before I download the update. Thanks for any info.

    CS3 runs but reportedly has issues. Adobe CS, the original version, will not work, nor will any application that is PowerPC only, since Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications. If you don't know what apps are PowerPC only, Get Info on the app, and in the Kind section, it will say. Apps that say either "Intel" or "Universal" at least have the potential to run, though there are other factors involved in Lion compatibility. The RoaringApps site is a useful resource:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    though the most definitive method of confirming compatibility is to check with the developer.

  • Using a plugin that only works with CS3 (how to downgrade CS4 to CS3)

    I work for a company that sells HP Indigo Presses
    HP have produced a plugin called Smartstream Designer which is used to create varible data jobs for the press
    Unfortunately at the moment, this plugin only works with Indesign CS3
    I have a number of customers who have recently purchased new Apple macintosh computers and the latest version of Indesign (ie CS4)
    (1) Is there any way for them to downgrade their copy of Indesign so they can use this plugin
    At some time in the future the plugin will be updated to work with CS4 and when that happens they will need to upgrade
    (2) will there be any problem performing this upgrade at a later date?
    thanks for your help

    The only way to downgrade would be to find a CS3 license on the open market, an iffy proposition as authorized resellers no longer have older versions available. The CS4 license would still be fine in the future.
