Question

Slides in Simulation Stop After First Slide

After I published a training video as a swf file in Captivate 5, it only plays the first of 193 slides. It does not automatically move forward to the next slide with audio. What am I doing wrong?

    Well, here is what I did:

    1. I wanted to create a demo from a website to be used to show employees how to use a specific web-based software.

    2. I went into simulation mode--selected demo and training in automatic--and went to the website and begin recording in FMR.

    3. When completed, I published it as a swf file and then checked to see if it would work and it doesn't.

    Does this make sense?

    Please, please, please....post a screenshot of the timeline, it would be much easier to see if the cause is to be found there.

    Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker, but you are puzzling me more and more. Either you record in Automatic mode (where you can choose to have different files, like demonstration. training...) OR in FMR but what do you have for the moment? FMR is full motion recording, and this would also be visible on a screenshot of the timeline.

    How did you check? Did you start the published SWF from the HTML-file? And what happens when you choose Preview in Browser?

    The file was created from scratch. I checked the demo and training button but I really just want it to run like a demo and not a training.

    I am trying to attch the html file but that does not work. Also, when I emailed it to another comutper and tried to open it did not work.

    Hello,

    It is not possible to attach files. But you can insert a screenshot, as I asked, by using the small still camera icon. JPEG works fine, PNG is not accepted.

    So the file was not from scratch, but it is a captured file, since you mention demo/training? I'm puzzled.

    Could you post a screenshot of the timeline of that first slide? Perhaps you added an interactive object like a button or a click box on that slide that pauses the slide.

    Was this file created from scratch, is it a capture by CP or is it an imported PPT?
