Captivate several buttons

• Is it possible to change the State through several buttons?

  If I have already created, say, 100 identical buttons, and I want to change the State 'down' to a new color other than black. is it possible to do it quickly? I use 9 Captivate.

  Because you talked about "buttons" I assumed that you were pointing to the InBuilt States: Normal, rollover and down. The situation with styles is a little confusing IMO concerning States. You cannot set the States in Manager of Style of the object, as was the case of the Captivate 8 buttons. Since 9 Captivate, you will need to define States in the Panel object, for custom reports also state in regard to integrated States. Part of the InBuilt says are really integrated in the style: this is the case for all of the State for the Image buttons, for the background/outline for other types and form buttons. The labels on the buttons (text, system and form) are not part of the style. The exception are the image buttons because you have to put the text in the images. If you add objects in integrated States, they wil not be part of the style.  Even for States custom: they are not part of the style. I have problems with this configuration of confusing. It would be much easier, I think, if everything was recorded in an object style could be edited and changed in the Object styles Manager.

  The button menu "three lines", also called the hamburger or hot dog button, has opportunities to save changes to an existing style, to create a new style to apply a style to objects with a different style by default (as long as you override, leading + sign to appear).

  This no doubt confused answer: the workflow, I proposed with object styles, does that for characteristics that are saved in an object style (there no real explanation to help him as far as I KNOW). Now, I understand your last answer (sorry) that you are talking about a State that isn't integrated, but custom. In this case, you cannot change this State for all buttons at the same time. Only way is to duplicate the buttons. My apologies, I may have to write a blog about the object styles and its Director. I've heard several trainers proclaiming that they never use the OSM.

• With the help of several buttons on a slide

  I am a new user of Captivate 4 and I have questions with several buttons on a single slide.

  I want a button each to send to users in three different places depending on the button pressed. The locations are all in the current movie that I am developing.

  My problem is that using a button or click box is an action "pass" and "fail". When you use the two buttons in a slide I was creating a dummy "button and get the users click on this 'button' where there are only two choices. This procedure meets the success of failure on the button or click box.

  Of course, I can't do this job when I need more of two buttons.

  I must be missing something simple here any advice would be appreciated.

  See you soon

  Hello

  I'm a bit confused. You say you want to provide only two choices? (Or are you want to create a slide where it acts much like a table of contents when the user clicks the button or click box) 1 and moves might slide 5, button 2 moves to maybe slide 10 and 3 button move maybe slide 15.

  If this is the case, you are overthinking things. All you need to worry is the action of onSuccess.

  See you soon... Rick

• Disappear several buttons to create the message window after installing Enigmail and GNUpg

  Hello.

  I decided to install the Thunderbird PGP module (Enigmail). During the installation, it was necessary to install additional software GnuPG. After restart Thunderbird in create message windows several buttons disappear as: fonts, links, etc. (see photo).

  I uninstalled Enigmail and GnuPG, but the situation with row of missing button has not changed.

  I installed the new Thunderbird software at the top of the old installation and don't change the situation with row of button disappeared.

  I repeat the installation on a new computer to get started with Thunderbird and after that with Enigmail and GNUPG and I got the same result with line disappears in create message window.

  Thank you in advance.
  Cryospin

  Enigmail works very well with HTML email. That's why default Enigmail to plain text message composition. The installation wizard did ask you if it
  should these settings and let you inspect these changes.
  You must undo the changes in the settings of your account under Composition & addressing. Just check "compose messages in HTML format.

• Cp6: How to stop a slide with several buttons in a nonlinear presentation?

  Hello

  I would be very grateful for a solution to this issue, as I failed to find one yet in this forum.

  The presentation is non-linear, which means that the first slide is a kind of menu that you can choose another slide to explore and always comes back to the first.

  Each slide has several buttons that activate different audio files, and there is a button on the arrow in the lower right corner to jump to the first slide.

  The problem is that the slide does not stop after that you click on some of the audio buttons and continue on the next slide (instead of take a break until the user clicks on the arrow button). When I click a few buttons and listen to audio, eventually the slide automatically continues to the next slide.

  I tried:

  • Add button click box with "break project up to what the user clicks
  • change all the buttons for timing-> break after...
  • change only the arrow for Timing-> button pauses after...
  • and will not take unnecessarily long time to slide

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,

  The best

  You don't say 'how' to play the audio? In any case, the default behavior of interactive objects that trigger a simple action is out the read head. If you replace the simple action by a standard tip action one line, the playhead is not released. Watch this video (posterous is down once, again can not point to my blog):

• Captivate 6 buttons do not work when load in Flash. Help!

  I created a content player that load SWFs and plays them with some basic commands. It is able to load in Captivate 5 and 5.5 without problem. However, now when I insert into Captivate 6, buttons in the Captivate content do not work. I can get the bearings the trigger clicks, but not button.

  Any thoughts?

  I solved it. It had nothing to do with Captivate (that I know). All this had to do with how I manage Captivate content loaded inside my flash application. It had to do with the scope and timing of how I was Manager the loaded content. If someone wants to know the details, I would be happy to disclose but I think that this is something quite unique in my own code structures.

• Adobe Captivate Advanced button Actions shows clicks

  Hello

  I have a question about advanced Actions.

  I have two buttons.

  When I click a button it should disappear.

  After I clicked on the two buttons a third button is displayed.

  How can I do that.

  When I try the third button appears when I click on one of the two buttons and not after I clicked on both.

  Here´s advanced action I have for one of the two buttons that must disappear:

  __________________________________________

  Assign [variable_button1] with 1

  disappear [button1]

  Then a related action:

  IF

  [variable_button1 = 1

  [variable_button2] = 1

  ACTION

  Show Button3

  ON THE OTHER

  Break

  ____________________________________________

  I m sorry if there is something is not right. I have found no translation from German to English in adobe Captivate.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Kind regards

  Alex

  I suspected this to be the case. No, all shares advanced/shared in Captivate are event-driven. The conditional action will never be executed. I have a lot of examples on my blog for this use case, but post-it (yet) in this thread. BTW: I understand German (I'm Flemish) but do not dare to write in German.

  In a conditional action, you can have several decisions, which are all executed in the order: orders are from top to bottom, are decisions from the left to the humble. You will need to integrate the standard and the conditional action in a conditional action to be triggered by the buttons. Now that you have only one decision (indicated as "Unnamed" and choice in your screenshot), this decision should be the second decision. You don't need to put anything in the ELSE part, but I still don't know the break of the buttons, reason why I asked for a screenshot of the timeline. Your conditional action should look like this (sorry for the English terminology).

  The decision to "Always" 1 I like to cite the decisions and everything in my projects

  IF 1 is equal to 1

  Assign the v_button1 with 1

  Disable Button1

  Hide Button1

  See the Group1

  No Else part for this decision, you must edit the double button 2

  Decision 2 "CheckIt".

  IF v_button1 is equal to 1 AND

  v_button2 is equal to 1

  See the Bt_Next

  Select Bt_Next

  Joint actions are not possible because the variables are used in the two decisiobns.

• Captivate 8 button Retake Quiz - return to the slide of the wrong question

  Hello

  I have not yet fixed my problem of button retake quiz. I have a project with several questions of practices not classified (hot spot, drag n drop, 2 several multiple choice answers) followed by 9 questions 'real' test. I want students to return 'true' test questions when they click on the recovery test button. Now, the recovery quiz button brings back me to the first multiple choice question in the practical section - not the first 'real' test question.

  In the Interactions for the first multiple choice question (and the 2nd as well), I see that nothing appears in the neck to include in the questionnaire and responses report = no, but an entry appears in Objective ID and ID of Interaction. I don't see this credential anywhere in the QUIZ tab - I wonder if this is what pushed the button quiz in this slide.

  

  Attempt to correct:

  I saw the response of Lilybiri to "Captivate 8 resume Quiz" entry. It seemed like the perfect solution to my problem. So I created an Action conditional Advanced:

  If cpQuizInfoAttempts is greater than 1 go to (1 'real' test slide #) continue on the other

  The 'real' 1 slide test I put this conditional action on enter.

  It did not work. Please help me determine what I am doing wrong and how to fix this quiz of recovery. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I'm getting desperate!

  Smiles

  Susann

  You must have read my response wrong. Condition is OK, but you have to trigger on enter for the first issue of practice, not on the first slide of the real issue. As the recovery button will take the user to the first practical question slide, this action will be evaluated and the jump to the first slide of the real question occur. Assumed, here are that all the slides in practice before all the question slides.

• CP4 - Pause a slide with several buttons and continue after clicking a specific button

  Hi all

  I know that a break has been discussed, with the idea that you can use a clickbox (tiny/transparent) to pause the slide in CP4.

  My problem is that I have a few buttons to show/hide a scenario/question in a slide that is suspended with a clickbox.  I would like a particular button to advance the slide (for example, the button 'Next').  Currently * any * button will UN-pause the slide even if all the buttons use advanced actions and are not defined for advnace slide to the click.

  Basically, I want to achieve this goal:

  http://kb2.Adobe.com/community/publishing/871/cpsid_87182.html

  Scroll down for the film and ignore everything apart as a result of clicking on the US/Europe/ISO buttons, you don't advance the slide. (I don't like on all counters/times etc.).

  BB

  (just in case it is useful to my slide includes):

  (1) invisible clickbox to pause at the top of the timeline (i.e. "put on the map"

  (2) an another clickbox with a legend of success/failure (that I want to advance the slide)

  (3) a "Hide" button that hides the name of a legend and shows another button (all with a tip action)

  (4) a "show" button that shows the 'hide' button and the legend (by peak action)

  (5) a couple of areas of turnover used to mimic navigation so that the user can click in the right place for (2).

  )

  Hello

  What's you point to one of my articles? Oh, I see now you are intrigued by the little film. It was created with Captivate 5 and CP4 is a little heavier.

  I just answered a question similar, but explained by adapting the user file. He wanted to have several areas to click that showed a text caption and offer the user the opportunity to click as many times as he wanted to in order any on those select boxes. Only when you click on the continue button (or click box), there should be a navigation to the next slide. If I understand you correctly, this is a similar case?

  My workflow: do NOT use multiple actions for areas of click to show/hide captions. He must not trust at all, and in addition you must go back the playback head to avoid it continues after clicking on a CB. Create a tip action for every click like this screenshot:

  

  Here, a single text of the legend was hidden, but can be extended to many of course. The last instruction (assignment) is important: it puts the read head back a frame, so that it remains before the point of interruption.

  I blogged about this type of micro-navigation once, but the examples are for CP5 and later versions:

• Can I get several buttons for my various search engines?

  Is there some add-on I can get which allows me to create buttons to search with the search engines specific, rather than having to go to the dropdown menu, or if not, is it possible to get many search bars? Often, I use several search engines simultaneously and would save a reasonable amount of time with a such add-on.

  Better yet, you can create bookmarks and assign a keyword of each bookmark shortcuts.

  Firefox even help you create a keyword shortcut.

  1. Right-click in the search box on a web page
  2. Choose "add a keyword for this search".
  3. Tell it to this folder to put your bookmark in.

  Suppose you have used the search box on this page and assigned a keyword of "extra:

  Your bookmark could look like this:

  Name: support questions search supp:q

  File: K (as in key words)

  Place: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/search?q=%s

  Keywords: supp:q

  For him use %s is substituted by your arguments
  the SUPP:q module create search buttons

  See: Firefox keyword shortcuts

  http://dmcritchie.MVPs.org/Firefox/KWS.htm

  and help with research, see, in particular, Google searches

  http://dmcritchie.MVPs.org/Firefox/search.htm

  If I had to find the modules it is than my bookmark
  would look like with a keyword of "addons:

  http://www.Google.com/search?NUM=100 & q=site%3Aaddons.mozilla.org+inurl%3Aen-US%2Ffirefox%2Faddon+-inurl:collection+-cat = personas + %s

  That is to say 100 visits per page, site:addons.mozilla.org and the

• Can I change color of flipping Captivate ceiling buttons?

  I use a nice built in button that comes with 8 Captivate. However, I don't like the green color of reversal. Can I change the color of overview for this button?

  It is an Image button that comes with 8 Captivate.

  Thank you

  Image buttons are 'old' (I no longer used): to customize you create three images with a graphics application. The images must have the same name, followed by _down and respectively _up anime_survol. You can use any other compressed format, GIF or PNG. Take a look at the Gallery\Buttons for examples. When you want to use this custom button, you point to one of the three images and Captivate can detect the other two. One of the biggest drawbacks for me of this type is that you can not change the label, you must create 3 images for each button with a different label. Easier way with transparent buttons and form.

I was able to update my Mac version however have been unable to update the PC version as updates, the button is grayed. Screenshot see attachment.

  I've deleted and reinstalled 9 Captivate and this has not corrected the issue.

  Can anyone help?

  The Administrator removed updates.

  1. Close Captivate.
  2. Go to C:\Program files\common files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\ and rename the AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat what it is (say, just add a "_1" to the name).
  3. Launch of Captivate.

  Option updates you must activate now.
