Advanced action appears in a loop - 6 Captivate

• The Template Variables and advanced actions

  I created a template to 8 Captivate, which includes several variables user and advanced actions (the model was created with Captivate 7.)

  When I create a new project from the template, Captivate automatically creates duplicates of all the variables user and advanced actions changing the names slightly (add numbers at the end). The thing is now I have twice as many actions and variables, and Captivate does not allow me to delete the shares referenced by the model. How to avoid this?

  Is it possible to return to the original set of variables user and actions on my project? Thank you.

  The upgrade often cause this kind or problems. Normally, you should be able to easily remove CP8 variables, but of course, I do not avoid upgrade especially when the characteristics have changed as is now done with stocks shared in CP8. I agree that it would be easier if the upgrade still worked smoothly, but learned after so many years with the software that it is rarely the case.

  The case you describe is perfectly suited for common actions, I even used it as an example in an online seminar I did (always for CP7) and definitely want to show it again if I ever get the chance to make another or provide training. Creating a library with shared actions that you can use over and over again now is no longer a daydream. No need for a model reuse advanced actions.

• Captivate 9 Advanced Actions break the module

  It is so incredibly frustrating. I had built a module in Captivate 8 and then converted to 9. Subsequently the entire module would publish, but wouldn't download on the internet - I got the spinning wheel, but nothing appeared.

  
  Now, I've reconstructed this entire module in Captivate 9 and published each slide, he transferred a lot - UNTIL I added advanced actions (standard actions to that). Now, it will not download again. I removed the advanced actions, but still, it won't upload more. I'm very, very frustrated by this setting level and hold that I had not upgraded to 9. Very frustrated.

  I've never seen a situation where HAVING simply advanced within a published file Actions prevented him from Internet download.

  Are you talking about maybe your LMS do not accept it as a SCORM package when you say "upload"?

  Could you be a little more specific on what do these advanced Actions?  How do confirm you that they caused the failure of download (e.g. If remove them fully active again the download, what all simply NOT running but leaving them in)?

• JavaScript for loop to execute Advanced Actions - execute Javascript does not?

  I use a loop to check the value of a Cookie.  When I add this using Execute Javascript it works fine but I want to run with certain other actions, if I want to use Of execute advanced Actions. When I add this coded to an action to run Javascript in the breast to perform advanced Actions code disappeared if I open the Script window again once.  I try to remove the code for loop in bold below and then the remaining code remains.  So I think that the problem must be with the loop for, but I don't see anything wrong with this code and I have, as I said that this code works fine if I use Javascript to run on its own. I've attached a video clip below to show what I mean.

  var task1_value = readCookie ("task1");

  function readCookie (name) {}

  var nameEQ = name + '=';

  var CA = document.cookie.split(';');

  for (var i = 0; i < ca.length; i ++) {}

  var c = ca [i];

  even if (c.charAt (0) ==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);

  If (c.indexOf (nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring (nameEQ.length, c.length);

  }

  Returns a null value.

  }

  I found that window JavaScript of CP does not like loops.

  Your best bet is to put the function in an external JS file from the top of the page. I always run scripts in an external file. Really helps debug that you do not have to republish Captivate. Just change your code and refresh the browser. If you use external file you can store all your functions there.

  I would also look into using the local storage instead of cookies. Very easy to implement and you can store a ton of information.

• Captivate 4 - Advanced - Actions buttons Pause/Play

  HI - so I created a 2 buttons - a pause and play - so my users can implement pause/play my captivate video (slide audio and real). I created my 2 variables for the buttons and I created my Advanced action. I am affect my break to "rdcmndPause", hide break, exhibit. And I'm assigning play "rdcmndResume", hide the piece, see the break. It does not work. The play/pause buttons appear and disappear as they should - but my project is not a pause or play. Any thoughts?

  I'm not very good with AS3, but try this, removed some of your code and added a little ;-) worked OK for me

  PauseButton.visible = true;

  PlayButton.visible = false;

  PlayButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, hidePlay);

  PauseButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, hidePause);

  function hidePlay (event: MouseEvent): void {}

  PauseButton.visible = true;

  PlayButton.visible = false;

  MovieClip (this.parent.parent) .rdcmndResume = 1;

  }

  function hidePause (event: MouseEvent): void {}

  PauseButton.visible = false;

  PlayButton.visible = true;

  MovieClip (this.parent.parent) .rdcmndPause = 1;

  }

• Execute advanced action does not work in Captivate 9. Help, please!

  Hello

  I created a simple questionnaire and use to execute advanced action if students take the test, a new slide is displayed. To fail back to the quiz. Here is the screenshot of what I put in place. I think I followed the correct instructions, but whenever I tried it in preview mode, it doesn't. After the last slide in the quiz, he continued to go to the next slide. Thank you!

  

  

  You choose the wrong system variable. I guess you want to check the score, not the maximum score?

  Use cpQuizInfoPointsscored or cpInfoPercentage. Here is another link where you can download a descriptive table with all system variables:

• Captivate 6 - Advanced action does not work in the project?

  Hello

  I use 6 Captivate. In my project I have a common slide2 which is called when clicking on the two different buttons (C1 and C2). Slide 2 contains several objects, saying Text1, text 2, 1 button, and Button2.

  Slide 5 I have a C1, I defined the on success action: execute advanced actions

  Script: If CPIntoCurrent Slide is equal to 5

  Action:

  Go to slide 2

  See the Text1

  See the Button1

  Hide Text2

  See the Button2

  Similar action has been set to C2 (slide 8) redirecting to slide 2 showing the Text2 and Button2, hiding other objects.

  These scripts where works fine, until I installed a patch on the adobe site. The patch was intended to display the video correctly in the PDF when selected the option display the table of contents.

  But unfortunately he's completely unbalanced the script of existing projects. I also tried to uninstall completely and fresh install Adobe Captivate, but not luck .

  Help, please.

  @Rod and with a concern for users of later versions (I'm not sure 6, this version did more) 6.

  It is perfectly possible to show/hide objects of an 'Advanced' action (not with a simple gesture) that is running on another slide of the slide corresponding to the object. I am certain about it for versions 7 and 8. I have not been much about 6 blogging and was bit sloppy on this release to keep track of all the changes. If you don't believe me (what happens in these forums), CP8 users take a look at the example file Cloudair included with this release: the action advanced in the first slide shows/hides objects anywhere in the file based on the information of the new cpInfoGeoLocation of system variables.

  Rod, I see you post this comment often, I just wanted to add these details. As I explained that I don't know when this change occurred (6.1 is my suspicion, but cannot test). In CP5 you could hide objects that have been timed for the rest of the project on a slide different than its original location. Since 5.5, you might also show this type of object.

• using advanced actions to make a button appear at the end of my project - HELP

  I'm working to build a set of advanced actions, which allow a user display the buttons at the end of the test based on the responses of the text entry box. The plan that I've discovered so far is:

  1. on the slide after the TEB, I have a conditional action that uses IF cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored = 1, and THEN assign the Variable 1 to 1 (the variable is set to 0)

  2. at the end of the test, I have an advance action that declares the variable = 1 IF THEN hide button (the button says they did hide the bad action means they did as the correct input) ELSE view button

  I have a total of 23 of these interactions TEB

  Everything works perfectly if each answer is correct

  Everything works perfectly if each answer is wrong

  Arrises them problem when alone or some answers are wrong. When that happens, no buttons appear.

  I built a debug slide and be positive for each Variable, I built received the first interaction.

  so, what could I have done wrong on my process? Any help would be appreciated.

  Always nice to hear from someone who likes my book.

  A thing, you have not made it clear to me yet.  You say that you are running the first action 'at the entrance to the next slide. I guess you mean using the event YOU enter the quiz question slide slide follows?

  Then, you mention that "at the end of the process," you have a blank slide that performs the final conditional action.  I assume that you mean that you use the event YOU enter Slide for the Quiz results slide where your buttons is displayed?  You won't be able to perform actions SHOW/HIDE objects on slides other than the one where the action is executed.

  My personal preference to set the variables on each quiz slide would be to use the event on the success of the quiz slide just to set the variable directly instead of using a decision of conditional action block as you did. If your quiz questions are all together for a moment of success, then just using the action of success WE should have the same result, but it's just more direct and so less inclined to any question (for example if, for some reason, the system cpQuizInfo variable did not work, your event on success should always pulled).

  In theory, your way (using the system variable) should work too, but sometimes if there are several ways to do something and your current path does not work, try them the other way around can get out you of trouble.

  I guess that your final conditional action has something ELSE for each block of decision which SHOWS the button?

  One thing that also that Lilybiri would probably say, that you are trying to rename all your blocks of decision in the last conditional action.  It could be one of the names of your decision blocks is originally a kind of conflict.  I noticed that you have a name of decision block with a punctuation of hash character.  Not a good idea.

• Advanced actions do NOT appear to work ONCE the user fills in a questionnaire?

  Advanced actions do NOT appear to work ONCE the user fills in a questionnaire?

  In my project, I have disabled the Quiz results slide and manually set the actions of success/failure to "go to" a customized results slide:

  

  On results carts custom pass/fail (as well as all the slides that follow), I need to disable the playback bar so that the user cannot use the navigation controls. I have created a tip action to disable the playback bar and set it on every slide that follows the Quiz:

  

  The tip action fails to disable the playback on my personal results slides bar; but I know that the action does not work correctly because it works on all the slides that follow my personal results slides. This leads me to believe that there is something about the function "go to" success/failure that is causing my Advanced action not to function. Is there a work around for this?

  Just checked out, and it works for me. I combined the jump and turn off the bar reading a success and failure action:

  SuccessAction

  • Jump to drag the success
  • Assign the cpCmndShowPlaybar with 0

  FailureAction

  • Jump to slide fail
  • Assign the cpCmndShowPlaybar with 0

  Why you split? He was not even the need to create an advanced action.

• Don't hide and not available in advanced Actions - 7 Captivate

  I'm very new to using Captivate, so maybe it's an obvious solution.  I have a screenshot below what happens when I try to create an advanced Action.  I want to show and hide a legend when a button is clicked.  Cannot use a roll because it is not compatible with HTML 5 and you can not roll something on a tablet or iPad.  As you can see Show, Hide and Enable are disabled. I tried to create a new project and do the same thing and it works very well.  But I don't want to start a new project and recreate the other interactions that I have already installed.  Also, I would like to know what is the cause, so I repeat again.

  Any help or suggestions you can provide are greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  

  Success!  I found the problem.

  I went through and delete a slide at a time and then tested to see if I could add a tip Action.  About slide 19 (of course) I was able to make it work.  After cancellation and put the blade back in I could not add an action.  So that was probably the problem.  After looking at the settings for the slide, I was wondering if the characters of < and=""> > on the slide name could be the problem.  I took out them and viola - this has worked.

  So I learned my lesson - only letters and numbers in my slide names in the future!

  

  Thank you all for your useful ideas and thoughts.

• Adding Advanced action causes objects to not appear

  In Cp5.5 I have a strange situation. I created a questionnaire and everything worked very well. At one point, I noticed that on questions quiz that some just objects are not displayed, or rather, they display very faded, almost invisible. It's just about certain objects:

  • It concerns all the text captions and images added by me (no not objects standard quiz)
  • It's the only objects that appear either not 0 seconds on the timeline, or have "Fade In" effect. The objects that are on the chronology of 0 seconds and not including any transition normally appear
  • It can be easily fixed by removing the Action advanced in "on entry. The tip Action can contain anything or even be empty, it is not serious (currently it contains just "keep"). The fact that "on entrance" suggested Action is the cause of the problem.

  Copy of the slides to a new project does not help, bug moves with the slide. I tried to deconstruct the slide to identify the problem and remove almost everything, but the error is still there. The original quiz must have images that appear in the calendar after 1 second, and of course the quiz must Action Advanced enter. It seems that the only way is to recreate from scratch (no guarantee will not repeat the problem).

  Does anyone have an idea what to do to make it work?

  It seems that your advanced Actions has been corrupted somehow.

  When I removed both of your advanced Actions and implement new, the problem disappeared.

• incomplete script in advanced actions

  Hello world!  I have a problem that I can not understand.  I got an existing course to another developer and they have an advanced action is defined on run javascript - code is as follows:

  Original code
  winRef var = window.open ("", "targetWindow", "height = 400, width = 400, menubar = no, scrollbars = yes", false); var slideRef = window.cpAPIInterface.getCurrentSlideIndex (); transcript of var = $("#transcript_"_+_slideRef_+_"accStr").text (); var doc = winRef.document; doc. Open ("text/html"); doc. Write (transcript); doc. Close();

  This works, but it does not display the text formatted correctly, so I changed it to this:

  Updated code

  winRef var = window.open ("", "targetWindow", "height = 400, width = 400, menubar = no, scrollbars = yes", false); var slideRef = window.cpAPIInterface.getCurrentSlideIndex (); transcript of var = $("#transcript_"_+_slideRef_+_"accStr").text (); splitText var = transc.split("|"); var doc = winRef.document; doc. Open ("text/html"); for (i = 0; i < splitText.length; i ++) { doc. Write (splitText [i] + "< br br > > <"); }; doc. Close();

  This code works fine when tested on a separate page, standalone HTML, but whenever I try to update in advanced actions, it will not change.  When you take things off line by line, I discovered it's the loop who dislikes Captivate.

  What I'm missing here?  Thank you guys!

  Generally, you cannot use a loop in the JS window.

• Images and advanced actions

  I'm setting up a demo of "false" to a program that uses our society.  I have a picture that should appear on the 100 + slides when you click and then click box disappear when you click another click box. Is this possible without renaming each image and creating multiple advanced actions?

  Example: See the slide: click the address: an address box image is displayed: click x to close the image address and see the original slide.

  I am using captivate 8

  You cannot attach files, you must insert screenshots in the form of images using the camera icon in the toolbar:

  

  Why click on boxes? Indeed, this means that you can copy/paste on each slide. Forget them and use this workflow:

  1. Put the image on the first slide, it time for the rest of the project, always on top. Then hide it output ("eye icon" in the upper-left panel properties). It will have a unique ID, it will be called "Im_One".
  2. Replace your boxes click the shape on the first slide buttons, so you as well for the rest of the project. Alternative is to put on the main model of slides. Remember do not overlap with other interactive objects on individual slides.
  3. Create an advanced or shared (better if you want to reuse this much) action for each of the buttons on the form, where you can hide or display the image. You can even create a toggle button, if you use a conditional action and follow-up user variable v_visib

• Faster advanced actions?

  I have a project with a screen that shows about 15 forms and a total score in the upper corner.

  When a user clicks on one of the forms of the form disappears and adds '10' to the dashboard (using a variable)

  I have a box click on each shape and you need a tip action to trigger the increment of 10 to the variable of dashboard and hide the corresponding shape.

  But this means I have to create 15 advanced actions, one for each form.

  Y at - it a way more quick to do, or is the only way to create a further action for each form of art?

  What version you are using, please? And is not at all a matter of "start." If you want to put me on the issue, waiting for your response.

  First: Why use a click on a form when the form can be used as a button? Who will save you half objects. This is possible because forms appeared with version 6.

  For the basic question, it depends on your version. If you are still on the 6, only way is indeed to reproduce advanced actions. If you're 7 or 8, use a shared action with the form (button) as the only parameter. You can apply shared action to each button of form, no need to set the variable of dashboard as parameter (which is possible in 8) being given that it never changes. Take a look on:
