Captivate 4 - Audio magically plays from an external swf that is not being displayed yet.

-

hi -

 

i searched have not seen issue posted in forum yet - apologize if has been covered.

 

i have built 2 captivate files - mainfile , subfile. mainfile has 2 slides. first slide has click box pauses slide until learner clicks, in case advances slide 2.

 

slide 2 has animation object on displays subfile. subfile has audio on severa slides.

 

when previewed , when published , viewed locally, works expected; mainfile loads, slide 1 shown, , movie sits , waits me click clickbox continue. when click clickbox, navigate slide 2, displays subfile, , hear audio subfile , interact expected.

 

however, when post files webserver, here happens: mainfile loads, , after 10 seconds audio subfile starts playing, though still sitting on slide 1 of mainfile , subfile not displayed. not on slide displays subfile.

 

i have used architecture on many projects succesfully using captivate 3, issue new in captivate 4.

 

i have run lot of tests , troubelshooting ideas, , 1 thing found this: if subfile greater 1 mb, problem occurs. if subfile less 1 mb, problem not occur.

 

i have tried many solutions , workarounds, including using blank slide 1 in subfile , changing every publish setting in captivate.

 

any ideas?

 

regards,

 

chris

an update interested...

 

the problem seems related upload web server. if upload mainfile , subfile server @ same time, problem occurs. if upload mainfile first, subfile second, problem occurs. however, if upload subfile first, mainfile second, problem not occur.

 

i tried on different web servers, , holds true. tried using cuteftp , web folders (windows explorer) , holds true.

 

very strange, @ least can make issue stop. unclear on how time stamp interferes how swfs interact each other?

i having trouble getting indesign recognize mathtype fonts.  have been told move mathtype fonts on 2 indesign font folder.  copied mt-extra font file mathtype folder , pasted indesign font folder.  nothing changed.  indesign still gives me blank box after copy mt-extra font mathtype -->illustrator-->indesign.   guess need instructions on how transfer of fonts done correctly.  i'v looked @ install fonts manual indesign, not clear me on how it.  need utility fontexplorer this, or there other way.  what's weird working fine until had reinstall osx , reinstall cs3, font trouble started.  need toggle "activate-reactivate' adobe cs3 , don't know how close 20 max on this, worried that.  (i suspect because of note on forum might necessary).  thoughts appreciated. i'm using windows, advice may worth nothing...   1) shouldn't have deactivate id recognize fonts. 2) design science gives fonts away in type 1 , truetype flavors....
