ODBC - Compact and Repair Access DB

Hello,
I am building an applicaiton in AW that uses a Access database. This
database gets very large and commonly adds and deletes many records. I am
hoping to be able to build a "Compact and Repair Database" function into my
interface so users can perform this function in my application.

Does anyone know the syntax to open the access db in "exclusive mode" and
then perform this function?

Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Active X won't install

We have been using the same computers and Authorware courses for about a year and a half. As we set up new machines or re-image the older ones IE will not allow awswaxd.cab to down load. We get an error message:

Windows has blocked this software because it can't verify the publisher. Name: awswaxd.cab Publisher: Unknown publisher.

Our IT staff believes this is on the Adobe end and is ready to throw in the towel. Do any of you have any ideas on how I can resolve this issue?

I've attached a screen shot.

 

On top is the graphic (.png file) that was imported into a interaction icon and the mode was set to "Alpha"

 

On the bottom is the same graphic that was imported as a button.

 

Is it possible to set the mode to "Alpha" for a button  in Authorware 7? If so, how?

 

Thanks

Unable to execute user code function; this file may be damaged

Hey, keep getting the "Unable to execute user code function; this file may be damaged" warning everytime we try and run a diagnostic test for ECDL exams - stored on a server share. I have tried re-installing Authorware but no joy, if you click on the continue button then it will continue but with constant warnings, may still sometimes crash out altogether, or if you click "Don't show further errors" button it may continue to the end or just for a couple of questions before the errors come back.

 

The computers having issues are on a domain, running the software as Admin has no issues at all. So i'm thinking it's likely to be a Group Policy setting but am struggling to figure out which one. We are running Windows Server 2008 64bit.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

My project consists of several quizzes, some of which are linked to the main application by the jumpfile return function. The application has an application knowledge object that allows users to log in. Also, each quiz was built using short answer KOs. I need to find a way to track the scores that each user receives in each quiz and even represent it graphically through time and in table format. Is there a way to do that using Authorware?

Question about extracting Sound Icon File property

Hello everyone!

I have several large AW files with LOTS of audio in them. I am trying to automate the process of extracting text for audio script and I need to extract the "file" property (which are always relative links to SWA files) from the sound icons. However, so far, I only managed to successfully get the "filename" property. This helps, but unfortunately, the filename of the soundicon does not always correspond with the filename that it is linked to.

Bottom line, is it possible to extract that relative path from the "file" property of the sound icon?

Thanks for you help!!!

Authorware 7 and Windows XP Tablet Edition

Greetings

I'm probably going to buy a Fujitsu Tablet PC; it runs the Tablet Edition of XP.
I want to load Authorware 7 (and Camtasia) on the Fujitsu to record full motion pen-strokes at the speed in which I write and create an e-learning Math tutorial.
Will Authorware 7 (and Camtasia) run on a Tablet PC under the Table Edition of XP? I vaguely recall reading something about
problems that Authorware 7 and Camtasia have running under the Tablet Edition of XP.
Thanks

Authorware Mac Issues

I'm trying to start an online course and I cannot seem to get authorware to work. I've downloaded Authorware 7-1.0 Complete Install.sit a few times and every time I open it it's just a bunch of random characters and symbols which would normally lead me to think that it is meant for PCs but the download info makes me think otherwise [Platform: Mac OS X.  Browser: Internet Explorer, Netscape and Safari]. How can I get Authorware to work? Oh, also, I have the latest Adobe Flash Player Downloaded if that makes a difference.

Hi all.  I have inherited a series of a4r files that need to be edited.  Or rather, I need the audio out of them to change to an html based program.

 

Authorware and Dreamweaver will not open them.  Any ideas on how to get the info out of these files?

 

Thanks!

Authorware course does not send "finish" command to LMS

September 11, 2012, 2:06 pm

We have a course (named SAVE) created in Authorware several years ago.

 

It had been published in our now-retired LMS (Pathlore).

 

We want to publish this course to our current LMS (SkillPort).

 

I have access to Authorware 7.01, but have never used the tool.

 

We use Windows XP, SP3 and Internet Explorer 8.

 

I can start the course upload in SkillSoft Publisher and everything works fine until I do the test launch.  The course opens and works fine throughout, however, when I try to exit the course, I get stuck on the white Authorware course player screen with the Done Progress Bar.  Even leaving it sit on this screen for hours does not change anything.  We must use the red X to close the player window.

 

SAVE Course DONE Screen.png

 

Then, back in the SkillSoft Publisher window, we see the runtime check failed.

SkillSoft Publisher Error 01.png

 

When we view the runtime error we see that the course did not send back a “finish” message to the LMS.  It reads, “There has been no communication between the player and the LMS, or the player did communicate but did not exit correctly (no finish command was sent by the player).”  Consequently, I cannot publish the course.

SkillSoft Publisher Error 02.png

 

 

Reading on the Adobe Authorware forums, I see discussions about issues within IE7 and IE8 that were not resolved in the Authorware Player after development on Authorware ended.  And I see a solution referenced as the iframe work around.  I do not know if this is the same issue.

 

I am not an application engineer, nor programmer.  And, as I said, I have not used Authorware before.

 

The SkillSoft tech support took my files and tried to upload the course.  They got the same result.  They have no solution at this time.

 

I hope there is a solution which you can offer.

 

Thank you in advance!

Sockets in authorware

Hi all,

 

I want my authorware program to communicate with another program (programmed in python). This communication should be two-ways, the program should be able to receive information from the other program, and also be able to send information to that other program. Now, I have a solution that works that makes use of .txt files, but I have been told that sockets are the way to go for communication between two programmes. The question is: can Authorware make use of sockets to send information to and receive information from? I have found a socket server (XML socket server eClever for authorware http://multiuser.web-cd.net/en/default.aspx) that could be interesting. Does anyone has experience using sockets to let Authorware communicate with other programs? And could the XML socket server be the way to go? Any hints/tips are very much appreciated!


Regards,
Frank

Hello,

 

We are a school that is using PLATO for a content provider in our classrooms.  PLATO requires Authorware with some modules for them to work.  I was not able to find it anywhere on your website, so I tried to contact an outside software provider that we use, and they said that we had to buy the eLearning Suites to get Authorware now.  Can anyone confirm what I need to do to get an Authorware player.  Understand that all I am trying to do is play the content, not create it.

 

Thanks, Cory

 

Here is the link that tells me what plugins that we need:

Error: "Authorware Runtime has stopped working"

I'm trying to fix a problem our students are having with an instructional CD that was made by Ivy Software. I'm getting an error "Authorware Runtime has stopped working". I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to diagnose and fix this problem.

So far we have been unsuccessful getting it to work on a Lenovo factory (OEM) HDD image. It works fine on all other PCs running any OS and any version of IE. I’m providing some links to documentation I found that may be of help with the diagnosis, although none of these documents have solved the problem. I have also noticed that the web installation, the first link below, for the newest version of the Authorware Player errors out on the Lenovo image but works on other PCs. I have put a call into Adobe to get the distributable installer for this updated version, as described in the 13295 "Technote", but I'm not holding my breath. The Adobe support rep. said they would mail me an FTP location to dl this installer, "if they can find it". :-P

It appears that there is no installation, the entire module runs directly from the CD and does not install anything to the HDD. The files on the CD utilize the Macormedia product called Authorware which comes as both a development program and an add-in for browsers. The error message we get when we autorun the CD is "Authorware Runtime has stopped working". It isn't clear to me exactally what it is running from the CD and or from the OS when displaying this Macromedia Authorware software CD, since the Task manager shows only "start.exe" running from the CD. Start.exe shows it is Macromedia Authorware 7.02 in its file properties.

I think this might be too broad a question for a simple answer on this board, but anyway desparate times....
I need to make a multiple choice test very simple of 40 questions - from a random selection of about 100 questions. The end result will print the overall % score and be able to print out the test with the wrong questions and the right ones for review.
I have never used authorware but had it at my disposal and thought it would be perfect to do this in but its not as easy as i thought it would be. I created basic title page etc and need to know how to get the question part working using the quiz KO. I cant seem to get it to lay out the way I want and dont know where that is coming from. How to develop the rest of it by using Next and Back options...Im lost, please help if you can.....kingarthurshorse@gmail.com
