Update: The Domain Lock Widget have been updated to work with Adobe Captivate 5 now. Previous buyers of the AS3 Domain Lock Widet should have recieved an email with a free upgrade. If you have not recieved this email and you have bought the AS3 Domain Lock Widget earlier then please contact me.
I have created an AS3 version of the DomainLock Widget for Adobe Captivate 4 and Adobe Captivate 5. This widget will allow you to lock your Captivate content to only play on the domain(s) that you authorize.
You have the option to authorize multiple domains to play your content. You can also define a custom stop message that will be displayed if the domain check fails.
Adobe Captivate 4 Widget Parameters:
Adobe Captivate 5 Widget Properties:
Requirements
The component uses ActionScript 3.0 and requires at least Flash Player 9 to work. Adobe Captivate 4 or Adobe Captivate 5 is also required.
Demonstration
Example of an Adobe Captivate project playing from an authorized domain:
http://www.cpguru.com/demonstrations/domainLockWidget(domainOk)/domainLockWidget(domainOk).htm
Example of an Adobe Captivate project playing from an unauthorized domain:
http://www.cpguru.com/demonstrations/domainLockWidget(domainNotOk)/domainLockWidget(domainNotOk).htm
The example above on the unauthorized domain is set to accept “localhost” as the domain so if you were to download this movie it would play on your computer locally, but not on any other domain or intranet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Question: Are we able to change the text in the component ourselves?
Answer: Yes the stop message is fully customizable through the Widget parameters.
Question: When I insert the component in Adobe Captivate all I get is a blank box. Is that normal?

Question: Can I use this component in a course delivered through an LMS?
Answer: Yes that is no problem at all.

Answer: Yes as long as you have a domain name then it will be fine.
Question: I also bought the Bookmark component and want to use both of them in the same project. Is that possible?
Answer: Yes that is possible. Place the DomainLock widget on the timeline first and then the Bookmark Widget afterwards.
Question: What happens if the project has a playbar?
Answer: The DomainLock Widget will disable the playbar while the domain check is in progress. If the domain is authorized the playbar will be enabled again.
Question: Can I use this widget in a project that has the TOC (Table of Contents) enabled?
Answer: Yes that is possible. Set the widget to display for rest of project then.

hi,
thanks for this domain lock widget (just purchased). It looks like it will be very helpful.
Quick question. I read some of the other comments and want to make sure I do this right. I will be using a TOC – so I need to set the widget to display for rest of project? Correct?
Also, I will be using an aggregator to pull several projects together. Will the domain lock need to be on each project within the aggregated project?
Thanks
James
@ James,
Thank you for buying.
Yes you should set the widget to “Display for rest of project” if you are using it in a project with a TOC. The widget would also need to be inserted in every Captivate project file if you are using it in a aggregated project.
