Question

Losing Captivate audio in Flash Export

Hi everyone,

>> I'm trying to export my CP project including audio (voice recording) to a Flash MX project. Notice that my voice recordings are often splitted between several slides, so that the voice can run over several slides... No problem with Captivate, my project runs fine. Troubles begin when I export the project to Flash...

Here are my 2 problems :
The audio files (voice recordings) are not imported in the Flash library.
Indeed, only the mouse clic sounds are exported... What's weird about it is that once in while (let's say 1 on 10 attempts), it works fine, and I can finally get all my audio tracks exported to Flash.
When I finally get the import to work fine with my audio tracks, it appears that Flash cannot handle the multi "slide audio" (same audio recording running on several slides), so it only plays half of a sentence for example...
Example of swf generated from Captivate (working fine)
Example of swf generated from Flash after Captivate export (audio is cut)

Here are my 2 questions :
Why can't I ALWAYS get a "clean" export ?
What's the matter with the recordings running on several slides and not playing well in Flash ?


I guess I've checked all the points mentionned in the following article Exporting your Adobe Captivate project to Flash , but found nothing that solved my problems.

Softwares : Captivate 2, Flash MX2004
Link to my Captivate test project (1.5Mo)

Any idea ? please...

Hello Cedric,

Does this happen with all your Captivate projects or just one in particular. I have seen this occur on a couple of projects in the past but on a very intermittent basis. if this has with the same project all of the time then I would suggest you file this as a bug using the Feature Request/Bug Report Form . In theory at least there may be something specific in this file that is causing the audio from being imported to Flash correctly.

Regards,
Mark

Hello Mark,

I'm afraid this problem occurs with all my Captivate projects.
I've submitted a bug last week but still got no answer...

I guess, I'm going to abandon the idea of importing Captivate projects in Flash and work with another method : Design an HTML player and just play the Captivate generated swf in it.
Here is an example : http://cedricsuire.free.fr/demo/demo1.html

Anyway, thanks for your help !
And if this is really a bug, I hope Adobe will fix it soon !
