Captivate, Flash and Chrome issues

Hello,

I'm a fairly new user to Captivate, and I've recently encountered problems with Chromes gradual phase out of the Flash player. I am building an e-learning module for the College I work at with Captivate, but the majority of content comes from After Effects animations (mp4) that are set up as multi-synchronized slides. From this, the published project is then taken into Moodle via SCORM and then should be viewed. Obviously with Chromes phase out of Flash I can't view anything until verifying unauthorised scripts, which is not useful when it is released to staff needing training.

Is there any sort of workaround for this? I've trawled the internet for solutions and I'm coming up blank, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

Correct answer Lilybiri

Sorry version 10.0.0.192 2017 Release


PK, please upgradze ASAP to 10.0.1.285. It is Flash player which is dying, the Flash application is very much alive but has been renamed to Animate. It is still the app used for most games. AIR is still also alive. Common misunderstanding.

Did you see my comment about AutoPlay? Can you upload the file to SCORM CLoud to check if the origin of the problems is with Captivate or with Moodle?

Do you have images in the course besides the mp4's?

Why do you not publish to HTML5? I haven't published to SWF anymore since about 2 years.

I know I did! I have done the HTML5 publish but it still doesn't show on the Moodle platform. We have some learning tech guys in their dept that can't get it to work.

Are you aware of the fact that not only Flash Player will be dead soon, but that browsers also disable AutoPlay and Captivate does the same for all HTML5 output?

SInce the original files are from AE, I suppose that the MP4 is using the correct codec needed for Captivate.

BTW since you talk about 'multi-syncnronized video', I think you are not using the most recent version (has been renamed to slide video which is better). Which version do you use? Please the full version number.
