Working with Flash in Captivate 3

Hi,
I'm now able to create and show Flash animations in Captivate
but am struggling.
For example I have a Flash animation with Next buttons so the
user can pause and read but I notice the slide still runs and when
it stops the animation stops. This must be rookie stuff so is there
a resource anywhere that helps explains what I should do so that
the slide stops but the animation plays independently?
All help appreciated
Nick

Hi Nick
When you create the animation in Flash, be sure to create a
Movie Clip and animate the Movie Clip. Don't just animate on the
main Flash Timeline.
As for the looping, you will need to ensure a Click Box or a
Button is pausing the slide you place it on. Normally I extend the
timing of the animation slightly beyond the pause point of the
Click Box or Button.
Cheers... Rick

  • Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

    I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

    You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
    While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
    AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
    I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
    Thanks,

  • Captivate 5.5 not working with Flash 11.4?

    I had Flash 11.4 and published a module with click boxes that jump to URLs.  The click boxes don't appear in either preview or published mode.   No hand cursor, no click box, no URL, nothing.  I've double checked the settings on the click boxes three times... they are correct, and the box is the top most thing on the slide.
    Based on advice I found on this forum on other flash problems, I tried uninstalling Flash 11.4 and going back to 10.3.  Now every time I try to launch the module I immediately go to the Flash 11.4 download page, and get the message "this content requires Flash to play - download now".  So apparently you can't install an earlier version of Flash and use it with Captivate.
    Which isn't a solution anyway, because my I don't want my viewers to have to do that to take this training.  So what do I do?  How do I make these urls available?
    I won't waste my time calling Adobe support... I've made that mistake in the past.  I'm really hoping someone here can help me.  Upgrading to Captivate 6 isn't an option...it's not in the budget.   They need to make 5.5 work with Flash - it's not that old.  It's SO frustrating that every time there is a Flash upgrade I have problems with this stupid software.  If they are going to publish to Flash, they need to keep the software current.  They own both products for goodness sake - why don't they work together?   Please help!
    Thanks for your help.

    I doubt that Flash 11.4 is the cause of these issues.  Having Flash 11.4 installed on your box doesn't mean your end users will need it..  Captivate 5.5 and 6 will only publish as high as Flash 10.2.  So all your end users would need is that version or above.
    I assume when you say you have check the settings on your click boxes, you made sure you have them configured to show the hand cursor?  If this is not turned on then the normal mouse pointer is all that will be visible.  But I'm betting you've checked that already.
    What you may not realise is that sometimes Captivate will APPEAR to show your click boxes are on the top layer of the timeline when you look at it in Edit mode, but in fact they may be buried down under other objects in the layers and NOT be clickable at runtime.  This has caught me out a few times.
    To ensure that your clickboxes ARE on the top layers, select each click box in the timeline and then click the icon on the main toolbar to Bring Selected Objects to the Front.  Then publish and test again.

  • Camera just up and stopped working with flash player. SUUUUPER annoying. Any ideas?

    Hi:
    Windows XP SP3 32bit, latest updates applied
    Firefox 3.6.6 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E))
    IE 8.0.6001.18702
    Flash Player 10,1,53,64
    HP EliteBook 8530w with built-in HP camera (brand spankin' new).
    So Flash Player today decided it doesn't want to work with my webcam. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out what the problem is. The camera works fine with other video camera software, such as Adobe Flash Live Encoder 3.1, for example, or the various Microsoft cam tools. But Flash Player just won't see it. When I visit a website that uses the camera through flash, all I get is a black box. I never get the privacy screen that asks me if I would like to allow the site temporary access to my camera.If i go into my settings, and go to the camera tab, it shows my camera device in the dropdown box. But you know how if you double-click the little box under the dropdown, it should activate your camera and display a little video inside that box? That doesn't work for me. All I get is this:
    It doesn't matter if I use FF or IE. I've re-installed Flash Player, both the FF version and the Ax version. To no avail. I've logged into my computer as a different user, because hell maybe it's some weird dumb thing in the Flash Player cache or something. Nope.
    Now here's the super, super, super annoying part: I just recently moved to this laptop and one of the things I was looking forward to was a computer where my webcam would FINALLY work with flash player again. Yes, that's right: my old computer had this exact same problem. And in both cases, at one point the camera worked with Flash player no problem, and then at some point, it just stopped working.
    This makes me think, of course, that the problem is some nefarious piece of software I've installed, but I can't think of what that is. I know the camera was working with my new computer as early as last week. Recently I've installed a bunch of software, including Adobe Media Live Encoder 3.1, Flash Professional CS5, and the Adobe Connect add-in. I've uninstalled everything except CS5, because, hey, who wants to re-install that if they don't have to? I'll do that as a last result, but the guy sitting next to me has the entire CS5 suite installed and camera works fine for him with Flash Player (same exact hardware too), so I don't think it's that. Other than that, I dunno. I've got VS2008 and 2010 installed. GoToMeeting. Office. That's about it.
    So. Any ideas? Any thoughts on how I could even start to debug the issue? Logging or something? Any help is much appreciated.

    Yes.
    Victory is mine.
    VICTORY IS MINE!!!
    Solution:
    Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
    Set
    AVHardwareDisable=1
    to:
    AVHardwareDisable=0
    Restart your browser. Done. Camera works now.
    I really want to shout this solution from the rooftops, because try Googling the solution sometime. I did. I failed. You will too. Hopefully if I use some more 18-point bold font, Google will index it faster, because that's the way it works right?
    I actually had no idea that Flash Player has a folder in Windows\system32 at all, and I definitely had no idea that this file existed. I am guessing some stinking app I installed decided I needed AVHardwareDisable set to 1 for some reason (effers). I found out about the location by just lazily searching through the windows registry for "Flash Player" and eventually saw it pointing to that directory. A little more poking around and I found this file.
    Those of you who actively support this forum: please keep this in the back of your mind, next time someone has audio/video input problems with Flash Player. I've found an awful lot of forum posts from people with cameras not working, and I bet a good portion of them need this fix. Reinstalling Flash Player will not fix it. Here's hoping the solution comes up in Google for the next unlucky soul.

  • AIR SDK 17 (BETA) is not working with Flash CS6

    Hi,
    The latest AIR SDK 17 is not working with Flash CS6.
    I tried to publish and install an iOS app to my connected device via USB but I always get an error "Check if iTunes is installed".
    The latest stable AIR SDK 16 is working fine, and yes, iTunes is installed on my PC.
    DETAILS:
    - Flash CS6
    - AIR SDK 17
    - System: Windows 8,1
    - iPodTouch with iOS 8.1
    REPRODUCE:
    Open new AIR iOS template and publish/install it to a USB connected iOS 8.1 device.
    Anyone else got that error?

    I was getting this intermittently.   Not a super problem.   A remove and install in iTunes gets it loaded (after you tell ITunes where it is).

  • Flash Builder 4 profiler doesn't seem to work with Flash Player 10.0

    Hi,
    I've been trying to get the profiler to work with Flash Builder 4, but when trying to profile on Flash Player 10.1, 11 or 11.1, Flash Builder doesn't connect to the profiled SWF.
    Changing my Flash Player to an old, debug version of 10.0.45 works fine.
    Is this a known bug, or is it just an incompatibility that's fixed in Flash Builder 4.5?
    thanks

    I’m profiling just fine in 4.5

  • Xdotool doesn't work with flash videos

    Hi,
    I don't know if it's a bug or not, but xdotool doesn't seems to work with flash videos.
    For example open the page http://www.miniclip.com/games/bloxorz and start the game, the left key should now move the bloc to the left.
    Open a terminal and type `sleep 5; xdotool key Left ', then come back to the game.
    Nothing happens.
    Is there a workaround to do xdotool work with the flash videos?
    I already tried with different web browsers, different flash plugins, but this works nowhere.

  • I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash player on some of my favorite web sites. Is there any alternative that will work on I-pad instead of flash?

    I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash Player on some of my favorite web sites! Is there another alternative to watching these site options on my I-pad?

    Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices - something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

  • How come querystring variables don't work with Flash Slide Presentations

    How come querystring variables don't work with Flash Slide
    Presentations
    When I create a regular new Flash FLA and publish it I can
    add a querystring to the file name in the object tag and get that
    value back in the flash move like this:
    myflashfile.swf?myname=andrew
    But when I try the same thing using a new Flash Slide
    Presentation with screen, it doesn't work.
    Is there something I'm missing that I'm not aware of or does
    the Flash Slide Presentation not support the use of querystrings?
    I have tried this using a mix of PC and Mac with MX2004 Pro
    and Flash 8 Pro.
    Any reference links or ideas are much appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • I need help getting my Intuos5 to work with Flash CS6

    Can someone give me some help with this? I can't find a single thing on Google that helps me.
    I installed Adobe Flash CS6 recently and I have been using my Intuos5 Large for a long time now with Photoshop CS6. The thing is, with Photoshop, it took forever to get working properly. It turned out that I needed to use the 64-bit version because my 64-bit system and tablet drivers won't work with 32-bit Photoshop.
    Concerning Flash, it's the same problems as Photoshop. It refuses to recognize my tablets functions such as pressure and tilt sensitivity. It also has an annoying lag or lack of response if I do small, quick strokes. I would switch Flash to 64-bit mode, but there isn't one. I can't find the little stroke-like icon in Flash to turn on sensitivity either. I'm really confused. I've tried it with Flash CS5.5 and it's the same thing.
    That's my issue, and I have tried restarting the software and rebooting many times as well. There doesn't seem to be much for options. This all leads to it probably being a 64-bit and 32-bit compatability issue
    I'm running Windows 7 with more than enough power to maintain Flash CS6. It is possible that I may need to update my tablet driver since I did for Photoshop CS6, but it was a pain in the *** getting Photoshop to work until I used 64-bit mode. I may need additional files to mod the software.
    I would really appreciate the help so I can begin to learn animation. It's my passion. Thanks, in advance.

  • Built in isight camera not working with flash

    My built in isight camera on my macbook works just fine in photobooth and in skype or ichat.. but just in the past week or so, it will not work when im on websites that use flash. I've seen some threads that say that I need to go into settings and make sure that the camera chosen is the USB. When i go into flash settings, the only options are Google1, Google2, or Built in isight. It doesn't work with any of them. Does anyone have any idea how I can make it work again?

    Your problem is not the same as that posted by the OP, and your system info shows you using Mac OS X (10.5.6).
    For your symptoms with this system, I suggest you do the following:
    (1) Apply the 10.5.8 Combo Update using the following process:
      • Backup your Mac and turn off Time Machine
      • Disconnect peripherals and restart Mac
      • Use Disk Utility to repair permissions
      • Download and install
       http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
      • Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that finishes the update.
      • Test whether Flash works for you now.
     (• Turn Time Machine on later when you are satisfied that the update worked.)
    (2) After applying the 10.5.8 Combo, if you are still having problems, download and install the latest Flash player compatible with your system:
      http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Also check any other third-party browser plugins or other add ons. Apply all available updates and uninstall any third-party items that are known to be incompatible with your system.

  • Click to play doesn't work with flash

    I've "click to play" for plugins enabled (plugins.click_to_play is set to true in about:config) in Firefox (v16.0.1) and it works with all plugins (as far as I can tell) except with flash. Every time I enter a site with flash, like Youtube for example, the "lego" icon doesn't show up and it starts playing the videos automatically.
    I've tried enabling and disabling the plugin, and reseted firefox but it didn't worked.
    I would appreciate any help on solving this issue.

    Click to play is a very experimental feature, and shouldn't be used unless you are a developer working on the feature. You should immediately disable click to play until it is fully developed.
