ActionScript 3.0 :: Captivate TOC On Top Of SWF?
Jun 17, 2011
In a Captivate 5 file, I imported a Flash AS3 file. I added the Flash file to the first Captivate slide and set the swf properties to display for the entire project. Essentially the Flash file is a skin/interface for the Captivate file. Everything is working fine, but the TOC is on top of the skin.
The scenario worked fine with Cativate 4 and AS2. The Flash skin has a TOC button. When the button is clicked, the TOC opens beneath the skin.
How can I position the TOC in the display list?

I used the following code on a frame within an swf that was imported to a CP4 slide. This worked fine in as2. I'm wondering how to write the same code in as3.
_parent._parent._parent.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;

I need to be able to dynamically position a component generated in Captivate 4 via ActionScript that in child SWF that is imported into the Captivate project. The problem is that I don't know how to reference the objects in the parent movie. I can set a label on the object and reference the parent itself with:
MovieClip(this.parent)
but this doesn't seem to work:
MovieClip(this.parent).label.y
And I suspect that it is because some how Captivate subclasses the objects but I'm having trouble finding out how the hierarchy is structured.

I've got Captivate movies dynamically loading into a Flash movie. The problem is, the tab index which works so well when the Captivate movies are in stand-alone mode falls apart when loading the Captivate movie into a Flash shell. I've tried tabEnabled=false and tabChildren=true for the movie clip that contains the Captivate movie, but with no results. Does anyone know how to get the focus manager to tab to objects in a Captviate movie when that movie is running in a Flash shell?

I have created a .swf using Captivate 4. When I try to load the swf into a Flash project - (AS2) I get the following output:
Branching::script:;;
deepak branching : scripteval:[object Object];
I rewrote the Flash using components and the same thing happens. So, I'm thinking it has something to do with how Captivate makes the .swf.

I have a SWF (SWF A) that I'm loading into a movieclip (Movieclip C)which is part of another SWF (SWF B). Basically, SWF B functions as a player, with play and pause controls. These controls control Movieclip C where the external SWF A is loaded into.Normally, I have had no problem with this and it always works. At run time, when you click the pause button on SWF B, a stop() command is issued to Movieclip C, which stops the play of
the external movieclip (SWF A) loaded into it.However, I did a screen capture with Captivate and published it as a SWF. I loaded this SWF (SWF A) into Movieclip C in SWF B at run time. However, clicking the controls on SWF I created has NO EFFECT on the SWF I created in Captivate. It just keeps playing.I guess all SWFs are NOT created equal. How can I make this work?

I have a custom build swf player, which has basic functions of play, pause, quit etc. It plays swf created with flash. I created a demo using captivate cs5, then exported it to flash. The captivate swf does not works with my swf player, it loads and starts playing but play and pause button does not work at all with it.[code]...

I have read a lot of threads on this, and I am trying to create a widget that will allow the button to toggle between Play/Pause pictures and play and pause the captivate as necessary.Right now my script reads as below: The button will toggle bwteen play and pause pictures. But will not pick up the .rdcmndPause=1; .rdcmndResume=1.
this.Pause.visible = true;
this.play1.visible = false;
this.play1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,hidePlay);

have a flash 'menu' swf that on the click of a button loads into a loader a flash 'controller' swf. This swf in turn loads into a loader a 'captivate 5' swf. All published to fp10.exit the captivate movie the user can click on the menu button (which resides on an area of the 'menu' swf below it), and I have coded to UnloadAndStop and StopAllSounds of the 'controller' swf loader.his works, everything goes, the loader 'unloads' and it does stop the sound of the current captivate slide, but then audio from the captivate movie will fire up again from the next slide and continue to play over the menu

i'm using captivate 5 to create an elearning project, due to captivates limited animation abilities i created a menu bar in flash and imported it into captivate as an swf. The menu bar has a glossary listing that whne clicked calls upon another swf which is a glossary.
The problem is that the glossary swf doesnt pop up when the glossary listing is clicked inside of captivate. The menu bar works perfectly outside of captivate. the glossary is already made in AS3. So my question is can you call a nested swf within captivate?

I wonder whether anyone knows of a solution to this: I want to embed a Captivate 4 quiz in a flash CS4 file and retrieve the score from the Captivate SWF so that I can use it in my flash file (AS3)- does anyone know a way of doing this (?eg. shared objects?). Communication between Flash and CP seems to be a lot more problematic than I anticipated.

I don't get it Why is it so difficult to pass a variable from Captivate 5 to AS3/Flash CS5. I have a variable (gpDone = 1) in Captivate 5 (it's a guided practice) on the last frame which will indicate that the learner has completed the guided practice file. Now I want to pass that variable back to Flash/AS3 so I can evaluate whether I should show the Continue button so they can continue. They have to complete the guided practice before they can continue. If it is equal to 1, the Continue button will display. If it is not equal to 1, the Continue button will not display, but a message will display telling them they have to complete the guided practice in order to continue in the course.

I've developed a menu in AS3 with about 10 buttons. Each buttong will load an swf or a swf created in Captivate. I want the swf to load ontop of the menu, then close when it's done playing. I can get this to work fine with swfs created in Flash, but not captivate 5. The captivate file will open and play, but it won't close.I tried adding the script at the bottom to an swf and importing that into the last slide of captivate with no luck.This doesn't seem like it should be so tricky.Here is some of the AS3. I didn't bring the code in for all the buttons.
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader;
introduction_to_gcssj_btn.addEventListener(MouseEv ent.CLICK, introductionClicked);
portal_features_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CL ICK, portalFeaturesClicked);

Basically I need to pause a Captivate movie (CP3) that is playing within a flash movie (CS4, AS3).
I have made a full motion recording with Captivate which I have imported into a flash movie. The flash movie is organised as a series of movieclips that play from the main timeline. My CP demo forms part of one of these movieclips (there are flash objects playing "on top" of it in different layers). I have a play/pause button on the main timeline that works to pause all of my movieclips EXCEPT for my captivate demo. This continues playing, while the movie clip is forms part of pauses, throwing everything out of sync.
how I can pause CP portion? My actionscript skills are minimal and I'm not even sure what object(s) to target.

am building eLearning courses using a Flash-based AS 3.0 course playerI use SoundMixer.stopAll to stop sounds when progressing through the course, pressing buttons etc also call SWFs made in Captivate into my courses. These SWFs have audio in them. But when I progress through these slides (by clicking a next button), the sound from the captivate made slides overlaps (keeps playing). SoundMixer.stopAll does not seem to work for captivate SWFs

I'm developing an application in Flex 3.5 for video tutorials, which uses a lot of Captivate 4 (AS3) videos (>200). In the front end, the user can navigate thorough the videos in a menu structure. In the administration part, the admins can upload more videos and organize them into the menu structure. Since we have more than 200 Captivate videos, we wanted to build in a search functionality into the fronted, which would be based on the text contents of the Captivate videos. The idea is: every time the admin uploads a new Captivate video into the system, an index will be created based on the contents of the video.
My question: how can I extract the text captions of a Captivate video using Flex or rather ActionScrip 3? (I know, there is an Export/Import function of Captivate, but I would like to access those texts dynamically from Flex.)

I'm having a problem with audio of Captivate demos created in Captivate 4 loaded into a Loader component using Flash 8 and AS2. Problem is if someone is viewing a Captivate demo and hits the Audio On/Off button on the playbar to turn the audio off and then returns to the menu, the next Captivate demo loaded has no audio until the user click the audio Off/On button a couple of times. Even though when loaded, the playbar audio is shown as on.
I've already tried cpCmndMute and cpCmndVolume to no avail. Is there another audioOn variable I'm missing?[url]...

I'm using URLLoader to load my external SWFs in as a ByteArray before use so I can preload them without the possibility of them playing prematurely. It's been working great so far, but I just ran into an issue. It's not loading question pools for Captivate quizzes. If I use Loader.load() for my quiz it works fine and the question pool loads. If I use URLLoader to get a ByteArray and then use Loader.loadBytes(), I get an error saying that it can't load the question pool. My code is below. If you comment out the urlLoader.load() line and use the loader.load() one instead, it'll work fine. Otherwise, I get an error.
Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
addChild(loader);
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done1);

We are successfully using Captivate 4 to create SWF files leveraging a Flash Streaming Media Server hosted on a CDN.My question is, does anyone know how to leverage the dynamic streaming / adaptive bitrate feature in FMS 3.5 with a Captivate file? I have spent an entire day searching all over Adobe forums and am surprised to see this is not documented ANYWHERE and given Captivate REQUIRES FMS to stream, it would be incredibly poor design if it cannot leverage the best feature FMS has to offer!
We publish to Flash Player 10, and while FP 10 IS compatible with dynamic streaming, my challenge is Captivate only allows one URI path and one stream name.To deliver dynamic streaming you have to have several files with different encode rates availalbe. But if Captivate only allows one stream name,how do you point it to a stream that finds all the alternative files? I've explored this with 3 different CDNs and they don't know how to do it(Limelight, CDNetworks and Internap)
The reason I'm so interested is we are delivering a Moodle hosted eLearning course to users around the globe with VERY different internet speeds.We've followed all the best practices in encoding and this is the next step in making our course accessble to ALL users.For those interested,our files are mostly less than 10 MB, though some are as much as 50 MB, all encoded at 500 kbps.
