Location of closed captions box

[ScottPakis]

Hi all you frustrated CP users,

I can see in the skin editor for closed captioning there are options for the number of lines, font, size, color, background color and transparency. However it positions the box containing the closed captions about 20 pixels above the controller. Is there a way to lower that box and have it appear just above the controller?

Thanks.

Scott,

I have an AS3 widget you can use to reposition the CC bar.  It's located here.

Let me know how it goes...

Hi Jim,

After messing around with this for a while it works, but appears automatically by default. How can I make it so it only appears when they click the CC button. Any advice?

Thanks.

Hi Scott,

I've uploaded a new version with the changes.  It was a good suggestion so I made it an option.  You'll find the new version here.

HTH,

Hi Jim,

Thank you very much I got this to work. One odd thing was that the closed captions automatically appeared when I previewed the movie. When I saved, closed, and reopened the file it didn't show closed captions automatically (I made sure the checkbox wasn't checked to automatically show).

Thank you very much I'll let you know if there's anything else!

Scott,

If you don't remove the old widget before inserting the new one, it will do that.  Glad it worked out for you!

Yes it looks great, except Captivate doesn't anti-alias fonts (come on Adobe). Interestingly enough closed caption text looks perfect on my Mac (no surprises there).

On another note have you ever imported a 3D animation created in Flash CS4 into CP4, set all the publish settings to Flash player 10 and published the file? It's horrendous! I have that and another unresolved issue with CP4 if you care to help.

Thanks.

Sure... do you have the source file for the animation?

Thanks can you look at post

It has the attachment.

Note: I did create the 3D animation, then later chose to convert by frame by frame animation. This still fails. Anything imported with 3D stuff into captivate destroys the file. And then if you bump down to player 9 or AS2 it also fails.

Thanks.
