Autoplay not working in Captivate 6

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with Captivate 6 that I've contacted Adobe for help with, but they've not been able to.

My issue is that I'm creating projects using Captivate 6 and publishing them. I need them to be available online and when the url is opened, I want them to pre-load a certain amount (say 20%) and then when that's pre-loaded, I want them to autoplay. I have had Captivate 4, and got this exact functionality, to my complete satisfaction.

I have two types of projects:

- ones originally created in Captivate 4 and then transferred into Captivate 6

- ones created from scratch in Captivate 6.

These are the Publish settings for Start and End that I'm using:

 

When I preview the project or have it locally it seems to work fine, but when it's published online I get the following problems:

1) Autoplay doesn't work

2) When I manually start the project, it plays the first slide and hangs on the second.

I usually have to rewind or refresh a couple of times to get it working.

Here's an example of what I'm seeing: http://gale.cengage.co.uk/product-training/techdemo.aspx

Can anyone help? Can people who have been successful adding published projects to websites give me a walkthrough of what they did?

Any help would be greatly appreciated (I'm at my wits end!)

Thanks,

Chris.

Try adding a blank slide of about 2 seconds duration at the beginning and then hiding the slide that has your company logo animation on it.

Does it still pause on the first play then?

Hello there,

There was a known issue related to pre-loader in Captivate 6 and was fixed in a patch. Can you please let me know which version of captivate do you have? Go to Help>About Captivate. Can you email me with these details to viswanat@adobe.com?

Thanks,

Vish
