YouTube interaction in Captivate 7

I am using a trial version of CP7. When publishing a file that contains the built-in YouTube interaction, there is text "Preview using F12 or publish to a Web serverto view the output" displayed across the video, see attached screenshot. I also uploaded the file to a web server, with the same result. Is there a fix for this issue?

Hi there,
This is strange, as this message only appears in the document view in Captivate in the Project. It should not show up on publish.
Which Operating system do you have and in which format are you publishing the output?
Can you delete the interaction and insert the interaction again, and then publsih and upload that on webserver.
At the time of publishing check 'force republish'.
Thanks.

Youtube interaction widescreen

So I am a making a Captivate project that mimics the functionality of a DVD or Blu-Ray
Menus... no problem!
For the video, I want to link to a YouTube video I uploaded.
No problem using the Captivate 7 youtube interaction. However the widget it generates is full screen with ugly black bars. My Youtube video is HD, how can I get the widget to be widescreen just like the viewer on Youtube???

Hi There,
Please uncheck the fullscreen option from the publish window if it is checked.
You can change the size of the youtube widget after inserting it on the slide.
Thanks

YouTube Interaction and Synchronize With Project

When selecting synchronize with project on a slide using the youtube interaction, the play/pause button on the playbar does nothing and the video continues on. It should be pausing the video right? Is there a way to fix this? Or, is there a different way I can have the settings for the widget and the captivate project synchronize together? Thanks so much in advance for any ideas!

Thank you, Rod. If I re-add in the playbar functionality to the youtube interaction am I correct that the user will need to pause the captivate project and the youtube widget in order for the project to truly be paused then? I really like the speed at which the youtube interaction loads and having it be able to be full screen is great, but if a user can't truly pause and resume with one click I'm not sure I will continue using the widget.

How do I create a drag and drop interaction using Captivate 8?

I cannot figure out how to create a drag and drop interaction in Captivate 8. Options to do this are greyed-out.

You can only use D&D in normal projects, not in responsive projects.

Embed multiple YouTube videos in Captivate 5.5

I have multiple YouTube videos that I would like to insert into one Captivate file, each video on a separate slide. If the learner moves away from the slide, I'd like the video to stop. If they should return to the slide, ideally the video would be a the beginning point.
I've been searching for a while. I found one where it will play one YouTube video per Captivate file, but not multiple videos. Also that one would show a transparent gray over the video while it played.
Thank you for any assistance.

Erik,
Thank you for replying. I apologize that I did not reply sooner.
I thought I found a widget that I could embed the YouTube videos within a slide, but was having problems trying to get it to work.
I changed my plan and now have the video opening in a separate window. Because we do not have a technical person to help us for possible future issues this will be a better direction for us to move in.
Again, thank you!

Maximum tabs in tab interaction in Captivate 7

I am using the tab interaction in Captivate 7. I wanted to add seven tabs. But the interaction is allowing only five tabs. Can we increase this?

Hi All,
When I try to open my accordion interaction in iPad ios 6, I face the following issues. I created the accordion interaction using Captivate 7 version.
1. Audio is not playing
2. When opening one accordion, the already opened one doesn't close automatically. As a result, the accordion open one below the other and the third, fourth, and fifth accordion is not visible.
Is there a work around for the second issue. Please let me know

YouTube Interactions Widget not working in Cp7

I have not yet been able to enjoy the new feature of the YouTube Interaction pre-built widget. When I try to test the YouTube video on the dialog box, I get a 404 Not Found error message. I get the same result if I publish the video anyway (I did this in case there was some connection issue internally on my computer). I am using Mac OSX Mountain Lion (Server) -- brand new computer. I have tried this with the firewall on and off. I can access the same YouTube page directly without a problem. It doesn't matter what video I use. It just doesn't load through Cp7. Also, the Web Objects widget works fine. Any other Mac user have this problem?

Hello Nitin and Sreekanth, Thanks for your suggestions and sorry for my delayed response. (I'm working on this project part-time.)
I have tried embedding the YouTube clip on a new slide (not one with the link on it). Actually, I was going to remove that link on the original slide once the embedded clip was up & running. (We had to check our copyright policy first, which is why we started off with the link.) Adding the interaction on a new slide made no difference; it didn't work.
I have also tried changing the timing. Actually, it was originally set to 'rest of slide' but I changed it to 'duration of animation' when the clip didn't work. Either way, it doesn't work. I have also tried checking 'synchronize with project'. I don't really know what that entails but it was worth a go. Again, no luck.
I'm adding some more screenshots FYI. The first is the dialogue box that appears when you first open the YouTube interaction widget. I clicked the 'Test' button on the right and the clip launched in the browser so at least that works! But there's something incompatible with my slides. I wonder if I am the only one to have had this problem.
Cheers, J.

How to import an Engage interaction into Captivate 6?

Can someone please advise how to import an Engage interaction into Captivate 6?

Welcome to the forum,
Articulate Engage interactions are still AS2, if it hasn't changed recently since I checked last time. This means that you cannot insert them as an animation. However, you should search on the Articulate forum (always pointed at so much better than this one ) because there is an explanation how you can insert them as webobjects.
If this still is indeed AS2, too bad, but Articulate should urgently upgrade to AS3,

Import Engage Interaction into Captivate 4

I know this has been asked many times, but I just can't
believe that this is not possible, especially in Captivate 4. Can
someone please tell me how to import an Engage interaction into
Captivate 4? I tried as an animation and it converts it to a
preloader.
Thanks,

Hi - I've been having a huge struggle trying to get my Engage interactions to play in Acrobat Connect Pro during my virtual classroom sessions. In other platforms (Webex, Centra, Live Meeting) I've had no trouble using Engage interactions as a way to keep the content interesting and, well, "engaging." But Connect Pro simply refuses to play them. Someone told me to try publishing them to Captivate (e.g. Importing them into Captivate and then publishing the SWF), and then uploading the Captivate SWF to the Connect Pro library. I was encouargaed when I saw your seeminlgy easy steps.
However, I tried them and they didn't work. I guess I wasn't surprised because you say to first publish the Captivate file to "any folder," and then go into the Preferences, check the animations box, and you should now see the Engage SWF in the folder with the Captivate output. How could the Engage SWF just appear? It would seem that the correct way to do this is to go to Preferences before publishing, check the "Animations" box, and then publish. In any case, even when I do it that way, I do get a Captivate SWF that plays my Engage interaction, but when I upload that to the Connect Pro content library, it still won't work.
Are you sure you've actually tried this? I've checked with a few people and they all agree that once it's published, going back into Captivate and checking a box in the Preferences simply won't cause a new file to appear in the Captivate output folder. Just curious... I figured you may want to correct this so future readers aren't confused by it.

Publishing Projects with Web Objects and YouTube Interactions

How do I publish projects with Web Objects and YouTube interactions to ensure they appear in my published project?
I am trying to publish my project, which contains Web objects and YouTube interactions, and they will not appear if I publish them either as swf or html (sometimes the Web object will appear, but not the YouTube interactions). Both objects work if I preview them on the stage.

Hi,
You need to copy your published output to any web server to make Web Objects and Yout Tube interaction work.

Youtube Interaction (captivate 7 on Mavericks)

I recently purchased Captivate 7 and, thus far, I am dissapointed.
I purchased the software specifically because of the youtube and web object interactions. On my set-up, which is fairly standard, neither of these work. They show in preview mode (both browser and html 5), but not when published. No border or anything. It shows just as though the slide were blank (tested with a blank slide with only the interaction widget)
If anyone could help me with this problem I would appreciate it very much. And if it is technical problem, my vote is in for an update; shinny new features that don't work are very disappointing.
Thanks,
JR

Your issue was most likely related to Flash Global Security which can interfere with functionality that requires external files to load when you are testing content on your local hard drive.
This page explains the issue and how to configure it:

Using Flash Learning Interactions in Captivate

Hi there,
I am developing a short practice quiz in Captivate, but for
one of the questions I want to use a Flash CS3 learning interaction
(the "Hot Spots" one). I get the Flash file built, import it into
Cpativate, and everything works.
Now for the big question - how do I get Captivate to track
the successful/unsuccessful action from this question in a quiz? I
want to present users with a results page at the end of the
practice quiz, but since this question is not built with a
Captivate question slide (like m/c, t/f, etc.), how can I track the
result and include it on the results slide at the end?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Shawn

Hi J and welcome to our community
There is no way (back door or otherwise) that I'm aware of to
do this. Unless, of course, you mean to use Flash 8 and export the
Flash in a version 6 format.
Hopefully we will see Flash 8 files working just dandy in
Captivate version 2.
Cheers... Rick

Interaction with Captivate within Presenter

I have an interactive Captivate (swf) file that I'm trying to get to work in Presenter. I have imported the file (which works great stand-alone) amd checked the box in the "Manage Flash" option. However, Presenter ignores the interaction and plays the cp file straight through without stopping/waiting for the learner to click on the item to go ahead.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Adobe Presenter 7.07 was released last week in conjunction with Adobe Connect 8.1.2 as well as Captivate 5.5. All three now are AS3 based and fix this very complex issue.
You can download the full Presenter 7.07 from the Adobe Presenter page...notice right side where there is a link for existing customers to download a trial version...just use your Presenter 7 license when asked:
http://www.adobe.com/products/presenter/
Adobe Connect 8.1.2 is being rolled out the next two weekends and on-premise customers can download the code here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/911/cpsid_91151.html
Adobe Captivate 5.5 has been released for awhile and was the first to move to AS3. Now all are in sync. Suggest running all previous content in Presenter or Captivate and then uploading again. That would convert any AS2 issues to AS3.

HTML5 Interaction in Captivate 7

Hello,
I am using a captivate 7 trial version. Ineed to import HTML5 interactions to my captivate module. When I google I could see an option to Import HTML5. But I can't find it on my trial version. Shall I need to purchase the pro version to import HTML5 interactions? Could anyone get me an answer on this?
Thanks
Saran

Whatever. Saravan hasn't specified WHERE he got the HTML5 interactions he's trying to import. But since Captivate doesn't specify in the menu option what the ORIGIN of the HTML5 objects must be, then you can forgive people for just taking it at face value and thinking Captivate must be willing to accept any HTML5 they might want to throw at it.

Smart Interactions in Captivate 7

I am using Captivate 7 and would like to insert a glossary smart interaction. However, I am not seeing the glossary as an option. According to my documentation, there should be approximately 25 smart interactions, but I am only seeing 8. What must I do to see the others?

Try to delete the copied Interactions folder that you'll find in \Users\Public\Public Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets. Do this while Captivate is closed, and when reopening a new folder will be installed. Upgrades are pushed regularly and you should have a working Internet connection.
