I get the above error when I launch one particular Captivate lesson from my LMS. That error is shown in the Flash Player debug window (I have the debug Flash player installed). I can ignore or continue. Regardless of option, Captivate does not continue. It is frozen on "Initializing LMS..."

Any suggestins on what I might need to do to fix this?

TIA

Steve

I am having the same issue in another LMS, though I cant reproduce the same steps inorder to create this. Is there something in the course that the LMS doest support?

I've also recived:

I also have the scorm calls recorded when these occur.

Others have said that it was due to MMQuizClasses for AS3 and that publishing to AS2 works, though Captivate no longer publishes to AS2

Looks like i fixed it.
The suspend data was being cut off at 255 varchar not the 4k String in the database.

DigDugDelux,

I'm seeing this error as well - can you share the steps you took to resolve it?

Thanks in advance!

Never mind. Life being what it is, I republished (for about the 12th time) and now it works. Ye old "ask the question and majically you have the solution" routine.

I'm having this exact issue in my LMS (ilias), also using captivate.  Was there ever a better solution to this other than to republish n number of times until it works?  Did anything else change in your configuration?
