export to Flash CS3 doesn't work

[Leoš]

Hello,
I have Captivate 4 and Flash CS3 (full versions) - WinXP. When I want export Captivate project to Flash - "File -> Export -> Project to -> Flash CS3" I will get only notify: "Cannot initialize Cpativate FLA Exporter. You may need to restart Flash." Flash CS3 is running and Captivate project is saved. Any idea?

Try restarting Flash and then Captivate. After this you should be able to export without error.

I was trying this before and it didn't help - restart Windows too.

Hi Leoš,

Do the following one by one:
1. Close Flash and Captivate.
2. Delete RDMFISTUB9.DLL if present in the following folder:

For XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers

For Vista:
C:\Users\<user directory>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers

(If windows is installed in some other drive other than C:, please use that drive letter in the paths)

3. Open Captivate 4
4. Now try to export.

Try this also if the above steps doesn't help:
Save the cp file and try to open it in flash: File > Open > (cp file path)

If it is still not working, can you please check if RDMFISTUB9.DLL is present in this folder:
For XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers

For Vista:
C:\Users\<user directory>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers

Also what is the flash cs3 language that is installed?
Do you have Captivate 3 installed on the same machine?

Hi,
unfortunately I didn't find the file "RDMFISTUB9.DLL" all over C drive (system + programs are in C drive; hidden files are visible). Even folder "Importers" I have in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\cs\Configuration\Importers"

Maybe this problem is because in this PC was intstalled collection of Adobe software with Flash CS3 (English version). Then I uninstalled this collection and installed Web Premium CS3 (Czech version) and then Captivate 4.

So, now I have only Web Premium CS3 (Czech version) and Captivate 4 (English version).
Flash didn't open Captivate file.

Hi Leoš,

I guess you are searching in the wrong place. Its not
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\cs\Configuration\Importers

It should be
For XP:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Documents and Settings\<user directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers

For Vista:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Users\<user directory>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers

Windows Drive Letter is the drive in which windows is installed into. Generally it is 'C' (without quotes)


Anyway, I dont think there is support for Czech version of Flash to export from Captivate. However you can try this out:



Copy RDMFISTUB9.dll into
For XP:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Documents and Settings\<user directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers\

For Vista:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Users\<user directory>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\Importers\

(Ex path for dll: For XP, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\RDMFISTUB9.dll)


Copy RdJsfl.dll into
For XP:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Documents and Settings\<user directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\External Libraries\

For Vista:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Users\<user directory>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\External Libraries\

(Ex path for dll: For XP, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\RdJsfl.dll)


Copy AdobeCaptivate Folder inside ActionScript Folder into
For XP:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Documents and Settings\<user directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\Classes\

For Vista:
<Windows Drive Letter>:\Users\<user directory>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS3\<language>\Configuration\Classes\

(Ex path for folder: For XP, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\ActionScript\AdobeCaptivate)

You can get RDMFISTUB9.dll, RdJsfl.dll in Adobe Captivate 4 installed directory
(Generally this should be C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4)


Now try to import a cp file into captivate.

Great, the last advice helped! Now, it's possible import (or open) Captivate file in Flash. Export from Captivate still doesn't work, but it's not big problem. Thanks!
