Question

Captivate 5, text animations, publish settings

Hello All,

I have a real problem with captivate 5 and or my system.

I installed CP5, and applied the VeelaUpgrader.dll, my text animations played, as did

other swf animations (some in AS2).

I attempted to upgrade CP5 using the update patch, the patch install failed every time.

I uninstalled CP5, and then re-installed. The patch upgrade ran (or at least it said the patch

was applied).

I developed a new project from an old project, delete all but two slides and renamed the project.

I applied the CPAnimationUtils.dll, the VeelaUpgrader.dll, and the patch from this blog:

http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2011/01/get-adobe-captivate-5-content-with-text-animations-working-in-latest-flash-player-without-republishing.html.

I added some text animations to my project, called my_project_b.cptx, the old project was called

my_project_a.cptx.  I re-published my_project_b.cptx as my_project_b, the text animations do

not play in the swf or the html file.  No text animations play.

I closed my_project_b.cptx and re-opened the file, made some changes, and opened the publish

dialog window (Shift-F12).  The project title reverts to "my_project_a", I changed the title to

my_project_b, and republished the swf and the htmls as my_project_b.  It publishs the files

but never saves the my_project_b name, it always reverts to "my_project_a".

Any ideas on any of this?  do I try to call Adobe?

my current version of Captivate is 5.0.1.624, Flash Player 10.2.152.26 (? suspect), and Windows XP SP3

Ugh!!!

With regard to your issue with the title bar not changing, try this:

  1. Open your project in Captivate, and Save As a different file name to a totally different directory.
  2. Then change the text in the Project Title field on the Publish dialog to what you want it to remain as, and then publish. 
  3. Now, Save As back to the location of the original project file with the same original name, overwriting your original file.
  4. Open the Publish dialog again.  What text do you see in the Project Title field now?  Is it the text that you wanted?
