Widgets in Flash from Adobe Captivate 5

I have Adobe Captivate5 and Web Premium CS5. In captivate, when I try to insert a question widget (File, New Project, Widget in Flash, Question) it opens Flash CS5 professional and I get the following error code in the OUTPUT section (in Flash):
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
At line 39 of file "data-16401608588.jsfl":
importPublishProfile: Argument number 1 is invalid.
I am unable to do anything with the widgets in Flash......
Has anyone had this problem? How could it be resolved so I can create a question widget using Captivate/Flash?

This appears to be an issue with Windows 7 if you don't run captivate in administrative mode. It works once I restarted the program in administrator mode.

How to integrate adobe flash widgets from Adobe captivate with Adobe Presenter?

Hi all,
We are a group of students who are creating a number of flash widgets that allows them to create e-learning activities. We are creating specific widgets in Flash for use in Captivate and then the results of the widgets in Adobe Presenter. The client noticed that widgets that work in Adobe Captivate don't always work in Adobe Presenter. Is there a way to make this function correctly?
Secondly, if it isn't possible to make that work correctly through the first method, is it possible to utilise Adobe Air to do the same or similar process. The client would prefer if we could integrate anything we use with an LMS and SCORM. But we believe it may not be possible to do this with Adobe Air.
Would someone be able to help us out with this?
Thanx

Some of the functionalities of CP4 (I assume that you use this version?) only work in a CP-published SWF, p.e. using the right mouse click as a trigger. I have inserted several CP-SWF's into Adobe Presenter, while using some of the widgets provided with CP4 and did not have any problems with these (p.e. Flash button). But I do not know what kind of widgets you created. Do they function all right in CP4 itself?

Intelligent Print Widget not compatible with Adobe Captivate 7?

HI,
I took a file I developed with CP6 that has the Intelligent Print Widget on the Quiz Results pages into CP7. When I publish the file, I don't see the print widget. I even ensured the swf file is there in the zipped package but still no print button. What happened?
Please help!

My colleague got it from the site below:
http://www.cpguru.com/intelligent-print-widget-for-adobe-captivate/
I contacted them to get the updated version. I hope it helps.

Linking Flash and Adobe Captivate

Greetings all;
I have a .swf file generated out of Adobe Captivate showing a
product demonstration. I also have an introduction to said
demonstration created in Flash CS3. What I want to do is link them
so that at the end of the intro the demo will play. I also would
like the demo to download while the intro is playing as the file is
15mb in size. I have added a second scene to the intro and placed
in frame 1 a command to load the movie (the Captivate movie). At
the end of the intro on Scene 1 I have a frame with a command to go
to scene 2 and play. It functions but the captivate .swf file has
not yet loaded when the scenes switch, hence causing a long break
between scenes.
Any thoughts and/or hints would be greatly appreciated.

What is your operating system & version?
What do you mean by "Flash": Flash Player, Flash Builder, Flash Professional?
What do you mean by "Adobe": Adobe Reader?

Insert response from adobe captivate to database

Need ApI to communicate to adobe captivate to insert data in
database

Hi tikiri,
You can access variables directly using the movie instance.
Please check the code below, where we are printing the varCount
variable.
on(release){
_root.play();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("movie", 999);
_root.movie._x=146;
_root.movie._y=12;
loadMovie("test/test.swf", _root.movie);
trace (_root.movie.varCount);
This code is specific for AS2 captivate swfs. You can try
accessing any of captivate system variables also in this way:
_root.movie.rdcmndNextSlide = 1; // jumps to next slide
_root.movie.cpCmndMute = 1; // mute the audio
trace(_root.movie.cpInfoCurrentDate); // print the current
date
_root.movie.rdInfoCurrentSlide =
_root.movie.cpInfoLastVisitedSlide // jumps to last visited slide
Please go through the list of available variables in
captivate documentation. All the variables starting from "rdcmnd"
are legacy variables and exist in captivate 3 projects as well.
Ones starting with "cp" are new and are not available prior to
captivate 4. Accessing method remains the same for both cp3 and cp4
generated swfs.
For accessing variables in AS3 captivate movies:-
var movieLdr:Loader = new Loader();
var movieURL:String = "CA3_Demo.swf"
var movieURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(movieURL);
var cpMovie;
movieLdr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadComplete);
function loadComplete(ae:Event)
cpMovie = movieLdr.content;
//Pause the movie
cpMovie.rdcmndPause = 1;
//Resume the movie
cpMovie.rdcmndResume = 1;
//Jump to next slide
cpMovie.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
also try,
// print current date
trace(cpMovie.movie.cpInfoCurrentDate);
addChild(movieLdr);
movieLdr.load(movieURLReq);

Capture User Information from Adobe Captivate Quiz

I created an Adobe Captivate (version 5.5) interactive training, which includes a 10 question quiz. Unfortunately I can't seem to figure out the best way to get the user to submit their name, location, and email along with the quiz. Without this I just seem to be getting the quiz results without any identifying information. I tried adding a "short answer" slide, but then I seem to have to create several of those slides just to get one piece of identifying information at a time. Is there an easy way to get the user's identifying information on a particular slide before they submit their results?
(As a side note I'm having a tough time even getting the Post Results working in the first place. But I'm thinking it might be better to ask that as a separate question since it's not necessarily related to this one.)

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching Adobe Community.
You can create a username and password on the Captivate slide through Advanced actions.
Please refer to the below link:

I can't export my CP file to Flash CS3, there is an alert

A swf animation slide has been imported. The following files

Software invariably gets the blame when it does not work as expected and your issue may in fact be a software bug.
However, reasons for software problems are many and varied including old or bad hardware, poorly configured systems or operating system issues such as permissions. All, some or none of those may apply to your computer.
Hard to tell without working through the troubleshooting steps systematically.

Project will be converted from Adobe Captivate 7 to Adobe Captivate 8 format

I upgraded from Captivate 7 to 8 a week ago, but each time I save the project I am working on, I get the same message that it will convert the project from 7 to 8. Each time I click save to accept this, but it just asks again the next time. Also, each time I open Captivate 8 I get a message about my Firewall and each time I check to allow access, but it will just ask me again the next time I open it.
And finally, on Thursday I spent hours working on my project - saving throughout the day, but when I came in Friday all of Thursdays work was gone. I searched my computer for hours, but never found Thursdays work. I obviously have some setting or something off. Any ideas on how to fix any or all of these problems?

I started with Captivate 5 then 5.5, 6 etc. Now I am on 8. Every time I switch versions I found the best way to convert a project is to Copy the slides from the old project to a new project. So create a new File on CP 8 and paste all the slides from your earlier version CP 7. It might be time consuming but I never had a problem. Also it is a very good practice to make sure in your preferences you tick the box Generate Project Backup (hours of work can be lost if not).

How to publish SCORM package from Adobe captivate app packager?

I have added HTML animation in captivate project using App packager. Now I want to publish it as a SCORM package. I didn't find any option to publish as SCORM package in App packager. Is there any way to do so?

Hi Vikram and Lilybiri,
Thanks for your responses :-)
I'm working on Windows 8.1... I think that I may have found the issue... I was saving the file in a project directory rather than the default My Captivate Projects folder...
Perhaps Captivate was struggling to find resources it needed?
It hasn't crashed for a while now, though it is struggling - I'm working with a 54 slide PPT presentation that is linked and it takes a very long time to interact.
Sometimes it says that I've removed slides, which I haven't?
Best,
Christy.

How do I export to SWF from Adobe Captivate 7?

The only options I get are Youtube, iPad/iPod or .avi
It's just a 30 day free trial version, but I'm hoping that export formats aren't reduced as a result!
Thanks

Probably you created a Video Demo? If you have indeed a cord (not a cpvc)
file, use Publish button.

Help with Widget in Flash for Captivate 7

Hi,
I am trying to use the Widget in Flash function in Captivate 7, but I keep getting an invalid argument error when the .jsfl script tries to run in Flash Pro CC. The line in question is line 8 - fl.getDocumentDOM().exportPublishProfile('file:///profile.xml');. Can anyone suggest a solution or work around?
I've been looking forward to trying my hand at creating widgets, but it is an inauspicious start.
Thanks,
Mark

Editing and exporting Widgets in Flash

Hello, I am very new to Captivate and action-scripting, and I cannot seem to find a tutorial that explains what I feel should be a fairly simple task:
I have customized widgets which usethe import com.adobe.adobe.captivate.widgets.* and import.adobe.captivate.events.* commands. These widgets will not work in Captivate, and will only import as animations.
I have added the appropriate paths to Flash's actionscript library, but during the publishing from Flash, I receive the following compile errors, describing lines in the widget's aactionscript, which I am sure are why it is not publishing properly:
5001: The name of package 'com.adobe.captivate.widgets' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 x64\ActionScript\export\as3\com\adobe\captivate\widgets
5001: The name of package 'com.adobe.captivate.widgets' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 x64\ActionScript\export\as3\com\adobe\captivate\widgets
What do I need to do to get the import to work? The files are present in the approriate directory,C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 x64\ActionScript\export\as3\com\adobe\captivate\widgets, but Flash does not seem to recognize them.
Why is there no basic tutorial for using these Actionscript classes and events?
I looked around on the forums to see if this was answered before, so I hope this isn't a repeated question. I feel like the answer to this must be something very simple.

If you're serious about building Captivate widgets, you need to be using the WidgetFactory API and you need to be reading up on the Widget King's website blog:

Adobe Captivate 8.1 quiz displays too small in Google Chrome 39

Hi,
Lately, quizzes published from Adobe Captivate 8.1 in Google Chrome 39 are displaying in a very small area. I am using the same settings that I usually do (Scalable HTML content) and all works fine in Internet Explorer 11.09. Possible that it's down to a recent update within Chrome.
Any workarounds or patches known for this?
Thanks in advance.

I am having the same issue with Captivate 7.0.1.237 and Chrome Version 39.0.2171.95 (64-bit) when I upload a SCORM 2.1 file to Moodle 2.6.
It works fine on Firefox and Safari.
These are my publishing settings

Learning Solution - Java Applet errors WBT created by Adobe Captivate 2

Hi,
I am experiencing problems with running WBTs created from Adobe Captivate.
We can checkin a WBTs created by Captivate using the published SCORM1.2 files. The first WBT checked in works OK, but all following WBTs created by Captivate have Java Applet problems with error messages "Object expected" and "g_objAPI not defined" when run from the WebAS.
Has anyone come across a similar problem and found a fix for it?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben.

In your browser, look at the HTML code that gets sent to the browser and see if there is something wrong with it.
Specifically, I would look at the code near the <APPLET ..></APPLET> tags, both before and after and look for stray quotes, brackets, or what not.
Finally, I would look inside the <APPLET ...> tag. It appears to me that the output will probably be:
<APPLET code="simpleAppletPackage/SimpleApplet.class" codebase="Applets"archive="SimpleAppletPackage.jar" width="250" height="250"></APPLET>See, you may be missing a space between the "Applets" and the archive=. Try making the second out.print look like this:
out.print(" archive=\"SimpleAppletPackage.jar\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\"></APPLET>"); See the extra space at the start of the output?
