I would like to pass Captivate (version 4) slide Lable to Flash file which will be shown in a dynamic text filed. Here is what I got but it does not work.
I have dynamic field called "myLable" AS3 code:
myLable.text = MovieClip(parent).cpInfoCurrenSlideLabel;
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;

View 2 RepliesI'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?
View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 7 Repliesi'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.
View 0 RepliesI 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.
View 0 RepliesI'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.
How can I create and control Captivate Playback Skin in Flash with my custom layout and script?
View 1 RepliesI'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]...

View 1 RepliesI am creating a flash slide presentation to use as part of an online portfolio. I have created a presentation that so far has three slides, each containing a flv that I imported and added a skin to.Is there any way to stop the movie on slide one (besides manually) when I move to slide two?

View 5 Repliesthis is what I am trying to do:
1st slide: pre test (3 radio buttons)
2nd slide: video
3rd slide: post test (3 radio buttons) - this page has a submit button that calls a .php script
The Pre Questions are setup like this:[code].....
wondering if this is a Global Variable problem? Is there any reason that the "variables" variable would stop populating after the first slide? Obviously, they are getting to the last slide since the submit button is passing them (or is the external file doing it?), but don't know why the post ones are not going.
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 am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart and there is additonal functionality attached to it to affect it's movement which I'm not too worried about although it would be nice)
Code:
// set up content_mc info
contentRight = _root.content_mc._x;

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 have produced a simple drag and drop slide for use in my captivate project, works fine standalone, but when i import into Captivate it doesnt work correctly, the drag and drop element works ok but it doesnt seem to be targeting the drop target i then use to then goto the next frame etc.

startDrag(this, true);
}
on (release) {

is there another way to reference "/want_box" that will work in Captivate?
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?
