Applying the advanced standard Action to a button Type

Hello. Anyone happen to know if it is possible to apply a tip Action Standard for a Type of button that will be used across multiple slides. My project at home, the previous and next buttons I used on most of the slides. I have created a Standard for these buttons tip Action, but did not understand how to apply the advanced without going through each slide action and selecting from the very long list of advanced Actions, I have for the project. If anyone knows of an easier way to do it, it would be very useful for me. Thank you.

Kim,

What version do you use? In Captivate 6 is possible if you use the form buttons: you can put them on the master slide (or on individual slides of masters), or the time for the rest of the project. Blog about them:

http://lilybiri.posterous.com/why-i-like-shape-buttons-Captivate-6

If you are on an earlier version, I'm sorry but a normal button may not be displayed for the rest of the project, or put on a master slide. However there is a static button widget that does not have as many features, however, navigation is possible, advanced actions do not. Perhaps this widget can help you, it is static, which means that you can view for the rest of the project (don't forget to check the option "Always on top") or even use it on a master slide.

Depending on the exact content of your standard actions, maybe the action can be used without having to edit on each slide. It is then just copy + paste works with normal buttons.

  • Adobe Captivate Advanced - 8 Actions trigger an event after that audio connected to a button has finished playing

    Hi all.  I use Adobe Captivate 8 on Windows.  I have a slide that has 2 buttons.  The buttons are placed in advanced actions, when you click on it to play an audio file and display the text, and then set the variable key 1, clicked.  The button are similar functions and can be clicked in any order.  When you click on the two buttons, I need to read an audio of conclusion.

    My problem is that once the second button is clicked, select what action starts immediately, as the two buttons were clicked and the condition is now filled.  I need to finish reading the audio second-clicked the button before she turns to the next action, and no matter what I try it doesn't work!  Major frustration!  If you need me to post any screen shots, please let me know.  Thanks in advance,

    Mike

    You must use conditional Actions, not simple actions.  With a Standard action or conditional button does not automatically frees the timeline AFTER it has been clicked.

    You must also configure the tracking variables so that your conditional Action will be able to determine whether or not the two buttons were clicked and that's why the audio file should be placed accordingly.

  • A few Questions about the advanced Actions window

    Hello

    I have a few questions about the progress of the Actions (using the version of track CP7)

    1. What is the function of the action to "continue?"   Out of the peak action and advance the playback cursor?

    2. What does mean this comment "Nested calls to action advanced is a nice improvement."? Is the advanced decision at the top of a page of action tabs?

    3. What is the function of the option "custom" in the IF statement - "preform action if - custom", it doesn't seem to do anything for me?

    4. where can I get information about the timeline / playhead interaction with advanced actions, i.e. where the playhead is going again at the beginning of the slide. slide custom question - display button, e.g. verification of responses, comments - when all the objects are at the beginning of the timeline. I'm looking more for the read head of infromation functionality rather than how to implement this type of question.

    Thank you

    Donal.

    Continue: If an advanced standard action is triggered by a button, this will not trigger the playback head. If you want out, you can use continues. Continue can also be a choice in a conditional action, when one orders branching has nothing to special, but in advance. Continuous is also the "dummy" statement/command (this is the official name of a line in the dialog box advanced actions) If a statement has become unusable due to some reasons, it will be replaced by continue

    There is no nested call stocks advanced possible right now, one of my many feature requests. It would be sort of a subroutine that you can use over and over again, instead of having to create each time when necessary.

    A decision is one of the conditions to be an advanced conditional action. They allow to create more complex actions, as a loop or arrays are not possible. All decisions are executed in sequence and always.

    Custom: is a combination of or but it is rather limited, because you cannot use parentheses.

    I guess you'd better visit my blog if you want to learn more about the advanced actions.

    http://blog.lilybiri.com/

    I also did several Webinars on stocks advanced, last this afternoon (on the sharing of the actions) for Adobe. They are all available on request.

  • How to stop a slide automatically advances when you press one button several times in 8 Captivate?

    Hi, I am a beginner of Captivate so I hope someone can help me solve this problem, I found!

    I am trying to create an e-Learning module that I designed a custom at the bottom of the screen reading bar for. This includes a custom button to home/TOC (table of contents) which is linked to the prefabricated Captivate table of contents. I put this button to link to the table of contents, provided that the object is clicked. The function keys work perfectly the first time top, which brings to the table of contents as expected and displays the current slide. When you click the double chevron, it hides the TOC again, showing the State of origin of slides, which is exactly what is needed. HOWEVER! When clicking on the button home again for the second time on the same blade it displays the table of contents in the normal form (which is awesome), but the slide, and then progresses to the next slide automatically (NOT that I would) that I have previous buttons and depending also on the playback bar that control the actions end users.

    If anyone can offer me a solution to my problem, I would be extremely grateful because I can't seem to find someone else with the same problem?

    Thanks in advance

  • Advanced Scripts of Action does not not in the advanced Actions window

    I have no idea how or why it happened, but on some scripts that I applied to some buttons, when I click on the folder icon to open the script in the advance action window, the script does not load. It shows just blank like this (screenshot below). If I try to select it from the dropdown of existing shares, it does not load. If I try to make a new script again, it will work initially, but the same thing happens if I try to open it again. No idea how to solve this problem?

    ExistingActions.jpg

    It looks like the corruption of the file. You're careful with naming of decisions and measures? Never use a name that has already been used for another object.

    If you copy an interactive object in a new project, the action in the annex is copied (at least if you're on CP8 or 9).  Normally slides copy and paste in a new project could help, only bit worried on the copy with the actions.

    Have you already restarted Captivate and maybe your system as well? Worth a try.

  • Displays the value of the variable user based on the advanced run-time action

    Captivate 8.0.1.242 - Windows 7 64 bit

    I need to display the total duration of the captivate file in a text caption. To do this, after a bit of googling, discovered this total = cpInfoFrameCount/cpInfoFPS. I created a user variable called 'v_totalTime' and in stocks advanced created a standard action called 'totalTime' and added a phrase v_totalTime = cpInfoFrameCount/cpInfoFPS.

    Now the weird part is, I don't know how this user variable appears as text. In the text of the legend, when I hit $$ v_totalTime$ $ and overview slides in captivate, the value is not displayed. So I think, the advanced action is not get triggered. So how to get this working?

    Even the blog posts that are older than 4 years still not seen at this time.

    Every action has to be triggered by an event: events / Actions (Advanced) - Captivate blog

    In this case, you can use the event to enter for each slide. This means that the value of v_TotalTime will be refreshed only at the beginning of the slide.

    Another tip: type a variable in a text (shape or legend) container ever but still use the X button in the composition of the Panel properties, tab Style role. This will prevent any typos (variables are case-sensitive) and you can also change the default length that will be used to display the variable.

  • Is there a way to set the order of the advanced actions?

    Hello.

    I try to set a peak action where an effect is applied to several objects, and then it climbs to a slide. Is it possible to define the action to make the jump from slide happen after effects?

    Here is a screenshot of the demo of what I'm looking for:

    screenshot3.jpg

    I want each box of click to zoom out until the slide jump to another slide and the other 3 characters.

    I use 7 Captivate.

    Thank you.

    I have created an example, but used CP8, there will be a small difference for you in CP7. Those are the steps:

    • Create a variable user corresponding to each image that will follow if that one is clicked, a Boolean value with the default value of 0, branded the v_one, v_two... v_four
    • as I suspect you return to this slide, you need to reset all Boolean values enter; can be done with a tip action that affects 1 to each of the variables and don't forget the Continue statement as well
    • Make sure that the continue button has no suspension, and that the boxes to click on a break at 1 second before the end of the slide (1 second is the default duration of change of scale 0, what is the zoom effect)
    • I created a joint action for the areas of click, but since you can't define a variable as a parameter, you may use duplicates of the advanced actions:
      • Assign the v_one with 1
      • Apply the effect Image... Balance for x and Y, the value 0
      • Apply the effect Image... Balance for x and Y, the value 0
      • Apply the effect Image... Balance for x and Y, the value 0
      • Continue
    • Then created a conditional advanced action on the exit of the slide, with many decisions that you have variables, checks each variable and jump on this slide
  • Stocks advanced with him apply the effect

    Hello!

    I'm working on a Captivate 7 project where there are a number of objects on a slide, and I created an advanced action that uses apply effect to expand all objects off the slide (except those I want to stay) in addition to extra zoom content in the slide when one of the objects is enabled.

    Here are the problems I encounter:

    1. Some zoom not completely out of the slide objects.  They stop near the edge but do not disappear.  When you click on the original, click object a second time, it seems to go all the way.
    2. Zoom into objects should be soon same time that zoom of objects, but are not, until you click again on the original object of click.
    3. I added a button display to come in (that works) and I try to find a way for her to show all the original objects without having to create a new advanced action to make things zoom in place.

    If anyone has encountered these problems before and can offer some advice?

    See you soon!

    Zoom in and Zoom out don't really move things anywhere.  These effects simply change the size of objects expanding from small to large (Zoom In) or their narrowing between big and small (Zoom out).  So in addition to the effect of zooming, you will probably also need to add a motion effect that moves the objects off the stage more.

    Looks like you have problems to control where the effects because you apply them via advanced Actions.  It is a large area of frustration for many Captivate authors.  Some successes to report by creating a custom and then effect by modifying the XML file created in order to gain more control over the timing.  However, be warned that this requires getting your hands dirty with XML code and is very tedious.  Captivate provides no default is an easy way to control the timing of the effects if you apply via advanced Actions.

    For your button show that I propose that the simplest solution is to create copies of all your objects, remove their applied effects and just place them in the same positions that they would be at the end of their effects, then use your button to perform an action advanced to view these copies of the original objects.  Much easier to control.

  • Multiple actions on one button sensitive project advanced

    Hello world

    I have a question about the use of the advanced actions (or really any action) on a sensitive project.

    I'm doing a course that includes a section of menu which should be designed differently for mobile display (mainly of the buttons in a different format to accommodate the size of the screen). I use stocks advanced for hide/show buttons in the menu I use transparent buttons and some of them have / all to be hidden so I don't get duplication of text when they are opened or closed (so cannot use the States I do not).

    My question is, is it possible that I can change the tip action to be used on the buttons in the sections is mobile, so they perform a slightly different action on a mobile device than would the same key on a desktop computer; essentially fires a different action? I had a try of it because of a size, shape etc perspective for buttons/forms and these, these are inherited from the top downwards, except change. However for stocks, that appears not to be the case, if I change the view mobile action, it also change the actions in a vision higher, which does not work.

    I wonder if anyone has encountered something similar and knows how to do or has a work around?

    Thank you

    Andy

    Interesting question. My clients almost never ask a sensitive project, which means that I can't help you with real-life experiences here. Just a few ideas of "intuition". I don't think you can have different actions triggered by the same event in different points of view breakpoint. There is no variable (yet) available system that detects the breakpoint used view (hoping that this will be the case in future versions). There may be a (expert JS could help), but it is not accessible.

    Solution: I did not test this, but what happens if you use other events if you want another advanced action? This means that you can use the events of the slide. But you can move an interactive object out of sight and replace it with another interactive object: This means you have another successful event which can be used for a different action. I will definitely try this out, if I can find some time

  • I can't apply a snippet of ActionScript to a button once a motion tween has been applied to the button. How can I do this?

    I can't apply a snippet of ActionScript to a button once a motion tween has been applied to the button. How can I do this?

    I use Adobe Flash Professional 15.0.1.179.
    My operating system is Mac OS x 10.11

    I am able to apply a snippet of code ActionScript for the button before you apply a Tween movement on the button; However, when I try to apply the snippet for the button after the motion tween has been applied, I am unable to do so. The action panel reads "Select a single image to apply or view script."

    Hi Robert,.

    That seems fine. You should be able to add code snippets at this stage.

    Try following the steps below:

    1. Select None (click somewhere on the empty area on the stage)

    2. click on frame 1 of your third layer. (be sure that a picture is selected)

    3 open the Code Snippets Panel, choose the desired code snippet and apply it. (the code must obtain added layer Actions.)

    If you write code manually, select frame 1 on the Layer 1 (shares) and add the code here.

    I hope this helps!

    I've defined several buttons for the main Menu.

    How can I add these buttons Actions?

    I added one already to the Exit button. We work.

    My first idea was to add a method to implement the InfoScreen.

    But I get a Java error.

    Browsing through the Internet I have not found a solution.

    I took most of the developer Sources.

    But I don't know what I should do now.

    How can I declare different Actions for different buttons?

    2. question.

    I am swaping with screens with the pushScreen command.

    Is there a way to return to the previous screens?

    1 Add this as a change listener to each button.  In your fieldChanged method, mount ButtonField field, extract label and branch code according to it.

    2. pop removes the screen from the top of the stack so underneath the screen becomes visible. Stack screen blackBerry is just that - a battery.

    By the way - are you sure that you have found the font Times New Roman family?  There is no such family on BlackBerry.  Extract his name by using fof.getName () and display it in, say, Dialog.info - you might be surprised.
