Association of objects - is it possible in Captivate 4?

In my quest continues to wish for a Lectora feature, I wonder if the grouping of objects is possible in Captivate 4. I don't see the option, but perhaps that it is done in a different way.

It is an extremely useful feature that have most of the other applications (i.e. other e-Learning tools, graphics applications, etc.). A practical use would be bringing together a box of note commonly used with an icon so that it can be copied as a single object to slides.

Any thoughts?

Hi Shawn

The only group that is possible is temporary. You hold down the CTRL key when you click on objects that are. They remain selected until the focus is removed from the selection. Perhaps, you change another slide or click another object on the slide.

There is no permanent grouping of objects.

See you soon... Rick

  • Is it possible to have editable objects when importing ppt in captivate 9?

    When I import a powerpoint slide in captivate, it converts it into a static image even if there are many objects on the slide.  I like to keep all separate objects rather than to group them all into the background.  Is this possible?

    There is no way to have individual objects when you import into Captivate. It is not a good idea to use the Captivate a PPT Converter, create the file from scratch in Captivate, using images and other assets of the PPT.

    If you want a PPT Converter, use Adobe Presenter, iSpring or one another PPT-plugin.

  • I need a button to activate the audio and trigger an object, is it possible?

    I need a button to activate the audio and trigger an object, is it possible?

    I guess it depends on exactly what you mean when you say "trigger an object. If you mean to show a hidden object, with advanced actions, it is easy. Just create an action that would first start playing the audio then reveal the object.

    If "trigger an object" means something other than to show it, please post back with what it means for you.

  • Association of objects in Captivate 8

    I'm trying to group objects on a slide to clean my list object in the timeline panel. When I select objects of Group on the slide, the group in the Edit menu option is grayed out. No matter what kind of objects can I select the Group (text, image, etc.). The reference Guide says it should work. Can someone throw me any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

    Thank you!

    If you have purchased the template, you could ask them the reason. I've never heard a question also of grouping, and I'm around this forum for a while.

  • Get Machine plans associated with objects of a Service catalog

    In our vCAC, we have a service with the catalog items that vSphere available machines virtual via cloning model. In a vCO script, is there a way to get objects of schema associated with each point objects catalog in our service? If so, can you provide the code to show how it's done? We have vCAC 6.1 and vCO 5.5.2.Thanks!

    OK, I finally found the answer courtesy of Automation vRA (vCAC) using vRO - Split Brain :

    «Each element of the catalog has an attribute of providerBinding.» This package contains the bindingId value. This link ID is the ID of the master plan (virtualMachineTemplateID) of the part of IaaS. That's how vRA figures on what course of action to deploy when you request a catalogue point. »

    So, given an vCACCAFECatalogItem object, I can get the ID of associated like this blueprint:

    var blueprintId = catalogItem.getProviderBinding () .getBindingId ();

  • Entities and Associations - Association error objects

    Hello

    I am new to develop in JDeveloper and I am currently following a tutorial with the Oracle members database use for their tutorial. Now I'm following this tutorial (Oracle JDeveloper 11 g Release 2 tutorials - rich in development of Web Applications with Oracle ADF)

    My problem is that when I try to create entity objects and Associations based on the tutorial, my AppModule does not create the association departments-> employees as you can see on the subject of 20º to the link (the Appmodule running the EmpDeptFkLink1view).

    I tried many things to fix it and I try it on my localhost database (not an oracle database).

    Given that this association is not created, the AppModuleDataControl isn't the control needed to create the jsf page in the next step.

    If you have all the help you can give me, please reply to this message.

    I use jdeveloper Studio edition version 12.1.2.0.0.


    Hope that my problem is clear enough.

    Thank you very much!

    Greetings,

    Frederico Barracha.

    Frederico,

    Associations are created automatically when the database table has a foreign key.  Check your local host database and make sure that there are foreign keys.

    If this isn't the case, you can manually create links and associations.

  • means of a loop with associative arrays / objects: #1034: forced conversion

    I had a long post somewhere on here and just want to start a specific post on associative arrays just.

    First of all, I have a table which I do not know if it is an array, an associative array or an object, or both.

    That is to say: I read that below would be an object but works like a table also.

    The problem is when I use this table as references to instantiate classes in a runtime shared library.

    I seem to be able to create appropriate tables and objects, BUT I certainly can't use/acess them correctly. I have a massive confusion between movieclips and objects.

    I get an error of forced conversion when I try to add objects to a movieclip. just because I want to add the elements of mc to the scene.

  • Is this possible in Captivate 3?...

    I have Macromedia Captivate 1.0, and it does not have what it takes. I was wondering if upgrading to Captivate 3 would solve the problem. Here's what I would do...

    I need to have a screen of 'menu' which would have, say, three "tasks" to complete. The user would choose a 'task' and while they could watch a demo on this subject, or they could try in "test mode". If they pass it in "test" mode (by clicking in all the correct places), then Captivate will somehow it tick (or put a check mark next to it) or something on the main menu with the three tasks. Once all three tasks have been "marked" in Test Mode, then Captivate will pass a variable 'complete' the LMS via SCORM compliance...

    Is this possible with the last Captivate? Or other tools would be needed to achieve this? If Captivate 3 alone can handle this, it is a relatively painless process? Thank you!!!

    As long as initialize you the SCORM API and the report by using the correct calls, I think not that SCORM care about what was going on within the SCO, once it is launched.

    If you are not interested in the follow-up to the notes of the user and I just want simple, at least you should try scoring mechanism internal to debone Captivate. This assumes that you have correctly configured the LMS to only expect a notification of the completion of each SCO.

    The only way to add custom in Captivate features is to insert as a standalone Flash movie, so you can easily insert a Flash movie on the last slide that will solve your global flag 'complete' for the checkmarks. Identifying uniquely each file to know what box to show could be a stumbling block, but a global variable in your menu would probably take care of that.

    By the way the finished flag back to the LMS seems to be the hardest part. Either you have to build your own full SCORM wrapper or patch in which Captivate provides when you publish on SCORM.

    If you choose to piggyback on the feature of Captivate, pore through Captivate scorm_support.js file and I hope to be able to determine Javascript variables/functions to change.

    In A2, the file is located in:

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2\Templates\Publish\SCORM_support\scorm_support.js

    Good luck!

  • Problems associative Array (Object)

    Here's the function that I face
    I read in a delimited string and using indexed arrays to break them up and assign keys and values to an associative array in a loop.
    I use variables in the loop and the load as expected in the loop table
    but outside the loop, the only key is the name of the variable and the value is not set
    This is the case by using dot or rating table, as well as literal strings for keys
    any help is appreciated

  • Association of objects

    Hi, I was wondering if there was a way in flash to group a set of objects, for example a load of buttons, so that you can apply a single AS work to control them, rather than having to create a separate for each button function.

    Ill give you an example, I want to apply the interpolation in 5 different buttons, but I do not want to write

    Button1... = function
    Button2... = function

    I would go

    group_of_buttons... = function

    Thanks for your help

    Create a table and put the names of occurrence of each of the buttons in this table. Loop in the table and assign a function to each event for the items in this table. Write the real function.

  • If a learner drags an object to the target of wrong depot, I want 9 Captivate suddenly the object in its original position immediately. Is this possible?

    If a learner drags an object to the target of wrong depot, I want 9 Captivate suddenly the object in its original position immediately.  For example, if I drag OBJECT_A to DROP_TARGET_A (i.e. to the good drop target), it should align on the drop target. But if I drag OBJECT_A to another location on the screen, I want OBJECT_A abruptly to its starting position. I don't want to use the send button or any message feedback. Is this possible?

    If not, is it possible to let objects correctly dropped on their drop targets (correct) as soon as the learner clicks on Submit, while allowing the wrong objects fall back to their starting point? I'm not a complex solution of coded manually; just a question if it's something easily configurable via the standard properties for drag-and-drop panels.

    Thank you!

    -Ray

    Hi Ray,

    It is possible in Captivate. You can select the wrong target, click on the 'actions Object' from the Panel drag / move. Uncheck the "OBJECT_A" of the dialog "drag Source has accepted." Repeat the same for all incorrect targets/sources.

    Thank you

  • Captivate 9: States of smart objects are not allowed on the slide master?

    If someone can tell me I'm wrong (the 'question' I write I guess) then please do - and tell me what I don't see in this program. THX!

    I have a series of large module has just completed for a high-profile pharma sales force - all built in my former 8. Captivate any software. Should I build a custom interface and completely brand (as it usually is) and do not use search gawd-awful, teacher friendly, built in stuff. All controls in the interface/shell are on slide master (as they should be) - and they are dynamic objects that use images in their States of a button. Worked very well! A master slide to any other, quiz, for precedent... get it. Plus - I complex animations that require a certain work come in the content area of a position backstage - so master slide items MUST be chosen as always on top (another reason to place controls on master slides. Some of my animations are edge animate - then those who are great - but the Captivate timeline based stuff can be 'hidden' obviously.

    Guess what? Captivate 9 not only broke all the controls (and all the custom actions of the art btw)-who needed to be rebuilt using their new 'States' method - but for some bizarre reason Adobe brilliantly REMOVED says abilities completely, all the objects that are placed on leaves of masters... WHY! Now - projects that I opened in it (which where ideally converted to C9 now) have not any comment Visual user for my custom shell (no State to overthrow) controls. I am the only man that creates custom controls and requires them to be the most logical place... slide masters? I am at a loss with this absurd forgotten - especially when it was already possible in Captivate 8. People really bad call.

    If all goes well - can someone tell me I'm a fool and I don't see a button somewhere...

    No, a little more and state that is a slightly shrunken version button of

    normal.

  • Is possible rating in captivate?

    How can I request a score in a game of words crossed. I want to mark each letter in a box with 1. The final score will depend on the number of letters/words in a puzzle. And how do I add it to the total score in the module if the Crusaders is one of three quizzes in a module? Is it possible in captivate? In addition, I am using captivate 5.0.

    I if needed some time for reflection, trying to find a way to reuse variables... It would help if I had an example to work, that would be possible? You certainly have boxes click on all the letters? But normally, you do not have 100 letters or are you talking about something else than the Crusaders regularly? Your description with possible diagonals seems to point to another type or word puzzle. How did you realize "the right answers were also inside of the boxes, that is vertical, horizontal and diagonal, upward and downward"?

  • Import slides/objects in Captivate 5

    I just installed Captivate 5 on my Mac and can not for the life of find me a way to import slides/objects as I could in Captivate 4. I create tutorials for work and they are similar, except the bottom. I know its weird but we had sister 3 companies and the layout of the tools are the same, just the brand is different. So I used to just import the objects of a tutorial of 'master' in the other.

    Did I miss something or was this deleted option in Captivate 5?

    Hello JCHands,

    To change the property for multiple instances of an object, we use Object Styles. For Ex: To change boxes highlight in all the slides, you can use the object styles, if you change a property in the Style of the object manager, it will change in all cases. Please let me know if it works for you.
