Swf compilation failed Adobe Captivate 7 on Windows 7

I am getting this error: 

"SWF Compilation error- Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name"

Even for a new blank project I created without changing anything the issue exists.

I cannot preview the Project or publish anything.

 

Tried the following:

1)updated ini file

2) removed folder in local/app data

3) Reinstalled Java

4) Checked Project Info for double quotes

5) Reinstalled JRE

 

But the issue still persists.... even on blank project, video demo, simulation. Please help.

    Java has nothing to do with this, perhaps you meant JavaScript?

    Possible causes: you publish to a folder that is not added to Flash trusted locations? The default paths that Captivate choose are added automatically, but I don't know if you changed those paths. Second possibility: the used browser is the Flash plkayer plugin activated?

    Hi,

    Thanks for your response. SWF Compilation issue seems to be there since 2010 or earlier in Adobe Captivate and I could see number of threads on the same issue, and in many posts they have mentioned about a conflict between JVM and Captivate, so that is why I had checked on that part as well.

    Even Preview>Project is not working.

    Publishing I tried to both C: drive folders and other partitions.

    I am not trying to view the content on any browser, however even to do that this issue is not allowing.

    SWF compilation issues are usually due to one of the following:

    • some object in the project that is corrupted,
    • naming of objects, slides or Advanced Actions / Variables with special characters that cause conflict,
    • certain compression settings in Preferences that can fail due to trying to compress already compressed objects.
