conditional actions in Captivate 6

• Problem of numerical comparison conditional Action

  I read the long blog of Rod Ward on conditional actions in Captivate, which seems to tell me if I have a user with a numeric variable and I'm comparing it with a literal value of-1 to see if they are equal, it should work fine because, as Rod, says "what is happening under the hood is that strings are first converted to digital before be assessed values.  However, it clearly doesn't.  That's what I have for the IF condition: VariableName is equal to-1.  The value of the variable declared in the Console (via a call to cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue ()) is - 1.  And yet the conditional action performs the ELSE action instead of the action of the YEW, as if he thinks that the variable, the value is - 1 is NOT equal to-1.  Captivate is certainly not lame that it can't handle the sign less on the - 1!  Anyone has an idea why it wouldn't work?

  I was waiting a bit to see if any of the other advanced/prolific contributors would be consistent with an opinion opposite to one Lilybiri expressed, but no one has.  I appreciate the offer of Lilybiri for help .  For awhile, I thought his assertion that Captivate couldn't handle

  If varname is equal to-1

  correctly.  I created a test case very simple to try to confirm, one who had nothing else going on at all to blur the.  I was surprised when it worked very well comparing a variable with-1.  Then I noticed other places in our advancement of existing shares that already rely on it working properly, and they worked as expected.  So I was banging my head against it to try to understand the real reason for a few hours it did not work and then I discovered there are TWO assets, click boxes on this slide, which enabled the AA I had been struggling with and another who had not changed but should be doing the same action as the ELSE the other action.  So basically, I discovered it wasn't a problem with the check against-1, such that it was originally, but execution of the evil AA.

  In addition, if Rod blog comment is correct ("what's happening under the hood is that strings are first converted into digital values before being evaluated"), it SHOULD work perfectly to compare negative numbers.  And it looks good now.

• Captivate 9 just all my conditional actions converted to standard actions

  This isn't a problem converting 8 Captivate. I spent several hours this morning, creating conditional actions and by assigning them to the learning map that I create in Captivate 9. I save the file several times along the way and also at the end.

  Then, I went to lunch and attended a meeting. When I got home and has reopened the case in order to duplicate and modify the existing conditional actions, I found that they were converted to standard actions, and my settings of variables and expressions had been dropped.

  I have not a screenshot of what it is supposed to look like - these are actions "and then" which were associated with the first condition. The second condition and all the "else" statements have been abandoned.

  I had to have this ready to present to my boss before the end of the day--and I would have, if I didn't all start again. And how do you know if that this never happens again?  ARGH!

  SOMEONE HAS THAT HAPPEN, AND IS THERE A SOLUTION?

  

  No, they have not installed the patch for 9.0.1.320 nor the 9.0.0.230 fix. You are always on the first version that had this bug, resolved by a hotfix released shortly after the first version. This patch is now included in the patch you need to install as soon as POSSIBLE.

• Captivate 9 corrupt conditional Actions

  One of my co-workers recently updated to Captivate 9. When it opens files created in Captivate 7 and 8, they view, edit, and preview well. But once she saves them (convert to Captivate 9) all conditional actions get deleted. They are from the Cp7 or Cp8 conditional actions convert all in stock Standard. (If) conditions and the other information are lost, and all sub scripts get pushed in a standard action column. All variable assignments are also hidden.

  If someone else hit this problem and if so, is there a solution? I have over 200 different courses spanning four languages. I can't afford to have 9 Cp corrupt all the.

  It is everywhere in this forum, you must have missed it. A fix is available,

  You can google for the hotfix in Captivate 9?

• [Captivate 6] Indicator completion using conditional actions

  Hello

  I'm looking to implement an indicator of achievement in the form of an image is displayed next to the link to a specific section to show that it is has been visited, to achieve this, I did the following

  1. [Page 1] 3 (smart form configured to use like button) buttons, 3 images (located in invisible on output) Image1, Image 2 and 3
  2. Link 1 [page 2] back button on slide 1
  3. [Page 3] 1 button link to slide 1
  4. [Page 4] 1 button link to slide 1

  Variables:

  • Sec1Done, value 0
  • Sec2Done, value 0
  • Sec3Done, value 0

  Conditional actions:

  • IF [Sec1Done] is equal to 1 THEN show Image1
  • IF [Sec2Done] is equal to 1 THEN show Image2
  • IF [Sec3Done] is equal to 1 THEN show Image3

  Action (as input):

  • [Slide] Assign the Sec1Done with 1
  • [Slide] Assign the Sec2Done with 1
  • [Slide] Assign the Sec3Done with 1

  Now, when I click on the link in section 1 (slide 1) then click the button back (slide 2) the Image1 does not appear, then is the same for slides 3 and 4.

  I've included a link to the project (hosted on mettle) if all goes well to make it more clear

  Thanks in advance for your support

  A little difficult, have several posts on similar configurations, but do not understand your explanation. You don't specify what events trigger actions at all. Why not use the Back buttons to change the value of variables? And the event that triggers the conditional action? I suspect that this is the event to enter the slide Menu?

  I suspect that you want something like that, watch the movie:

• What are the variables system will report to the LMS for the completion of the course, when there is a test (developed with conditional actions manually).

  I developed a course where the learner must pass the test to complete the course in LMS.

  I developed a quiz (quiz developed using conditional actions) manual.

  Now I want my course should show in LMS completion status, only after the learner either in quiz.

  How do my report course to the LMS of completion criteria?

  I use 6 Captivate and LMS is CSOD.

  I tried to include in quiz option is not working for me... anyone have any ideas to fix this?

  Thanks in advance

• Creating conditional actions based on the results of the quiz

  I have a quiz at the end of my captivate file and I try to get to show different based on images if you have passed the quiz, or if you failed. For example if you pass, I want to show an image of the tick, and if you do not have an image of the cross, on the results slide.

  I tried to create this by implementing a conditional action. I put the two images on the slide and they hid. Then I have a conditional action value:

  IF
  cpQuizInfoPointsscored greater than or equal to 70

  ACTION

  See the Image_tick

  ON THE OTHER

  See the Image_cross

  When I play the quiz or image shows that I have success or failure (the quiz is set to a 70% pass - there are 10 questions, and all are worth 10 points)
  I am new to Captivate so that any help would be appreciated!
  Thank you

  Each action must be triggered by 'something', which is an event. You must attach to an event, I suspect that the event on enter score slide is one that suits. Select the slide of score, look in the properties panel, tab Actions, perform actions on enter, choose the action.

  In addition, there is a difference between the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsscored and cpInfoPercentage. Personally, I would use the simpler cpQuizInfoPassFail:

  IF cpQuizInfoPassFail is equal to 1

  See the tick

  On the other

  See the cross

• conditional action passed to standard action - why?

  I work with a lot of conditional actions in my file (date limit rushed, will spend actions of timeshare learning soon). All my actions conditional on the slides were working, but I had to add a few items here and there, so I've been reviewing actions to add a few lines to show/hide. I've updated 2 blades without problem, now on my third 3 slide all conditional actions, that I created have changed somehow standard action. I'm not sure what I did to make this happen, but I need to not do it again. Can anyone provide an overview?

  If it comes to Captivate 9, which I suspect the issues you MENTION, install this hotfix:

• My conditional Actions become advanced actions?

  This happened to me like 5 times... I always use variables to create checkpoints on the subjects or the buttons, so when my student visit them all Cp invites with a Windows with something like: congratulations, you've seen then all now to the next slide, blah blah...

  BUT: The conditional actions often turn into advanced actions and some actions that I had programmed, make me start all lose... (I have backups, but very annoying sound copy slides, which causes problems of its own related actions).

  Anyone know why this happens? I understand that this only happens when I continue to make changes in my project, but I always try to leave the variables and objects involved in the action intact.

  Just sharing and looking for some toughts

  I assume you are using Captivate 9? The issue you have now detected immediately after the liberation, and there is hotfix that you have to install to prevent the conversion of advanced conditional actions in standard common action. Take a look on:

• How can I get the action to hide the table of contents to work as part of a conditional Action?

  GOAL: when a user takes the Quiz and fails, I wish they were able to get back underway and reviewing the materials before taking the quiz. As noted in other discussions, I have created actions advanced conditional and standard to achieve this:

  • Quiz results Slide Property executes the standard action "ResultsSlideVisitedAction", affecting a variable (AssessmentVisited) to 1, an indicator that the result slide has been visited.

  

  • If a user clicks the Retake Quiz button, instead of going to a "knowledge management", a quiz question classified early in the race with zero points, it goes to the first real quiz question. The slide to check knowledge runs the 'ExcludeKCAction', a conditional, looking to see if the result slide has been visited, which means that the quiz taken. If so, he jumps at the 1st question of the quiz slide.

  

  • I changed my Quiz message fail to tell the user to click the button Retake (which works fine) or navigate using the table of contents to review topics and then resume the quiz. The problem with this is that if a user uses the table of contents and gets to go to the slide to verify the knowledge to conditional action, they are sent directly to the Quiz.
  • So, I took a different tact and decided to ask the user to use a "Back in the race" button to review the course and then resume the quiz. Because you cannot add buttons to the slide of results, I created an invisible button to reset the AssessmentVisited variable to 0, so when the GET to the verification of knowledge, they are not sent for the quiz. I did this by adding the image on a button, and then by superimposing an invisible rectangular shape on top of the button image. This allowed me to add advanced invisible form actions. It worked!
  • The last thing I want to do is to hide the table of contents, so there is no chance of the user to return without resetting the variable. I tried to add the action to hide the table of contents, but it doesn't seem to work. Is this possible?  I tried to move the TOC to hide as actions of 1st, 2nd and 3rd and sill does not. Here is a screenshot of the conditional action that runs when a user clicks on my return to the button a course:
  • 

  I appreciate any thoughts on a solution to hide the table of contents as well. Thank you.

  Hide the TOC works only for OCD in overlay, you use a table of contents separate?

• Hide or display based on time or conditional action button

  Hello

  I wanted to see if anyone might have some insight on the best approach. In my Captivate program (version 7), I have a next button on each screen. Using Javascript and .NET, the variables are passed in the program.

  There are two scenarios when a user opens a session in the program I want to accomplish.

  (1) If you are a new user or if you have not seen a particular screen again, hide the btn 'Next' until the slide duration reaches a specific time (for example 60 seconds on a slide that's 63 seconds of time, given that the next button will stop the slide to move to the next slide) is over.

  (2) If you are a user existing, or that you have already seen a screen, display the next btn.

  I fight with the best approach. Any help would be appreciated!

  Thanks for your help!

  Ruth

  You cannot move a button on the timeline on the duration. I would therefore suggest to have two following buttons:

  Bt_Next1 for new users, with his script at the end of the slide

  Bt_Next2 for existing user.

  If you have access to the value of the variable v_lastmod an advanced conditional action on enter the slide might do the trick:

  IF v_lastmod is equal to or greater than 1

• Several conditional Actions required to Slide "on entry.

  I have a Captivate 7 file with a main Menu that contains 5 buttons that take users through 5 submenus. There are buttons that launch other project files on each submenu.

  On the submenus when a user performs a project file, the file closes and a variable puts a check mark on the top of the key to display this project is completed. Once a user makes all projects on a submenu, the button in the main Menu which directs user to the submenu then will have a tick on the top of the key to show the submenu is complete.

  This works well with many variables; standard actions on the buttons and a conditional action advanced on the "on entrance" for the slide.

  Question I have is that on each slide to make a Visual indicator that indicates the total percentage of full user (6 built images showing 0,20,40,60,80 & amp; 100). I created a conditional action that shows a relevant picture but my question is how to integrate only next to entry. Have you thought to use on output to show the image correctly on each slide, so that when the user visits a slide good picture - unfortunately it does not work.  Someone at - it ideas? Is it possible to drag on entry perform two separate conditional actions?

  Any great fully received help!

  You can put decisions as much as you want in a conditional to the progress of the actions. How much time do you have for now? All the statements in any fast action are always evaluated, which is not always the case in conditions in a programming language. Sequence is of course very important, both in the statements and decisions.

• Help conditional Action.

  Ok.. so I found a video on creating a conditional action on ADOBE TV... Excellent. However when I get to the part where I apply it to a button I encounter THIS problem.

  

  ADOBE TV video is on the left... my screen on the right. As you can see, it applys the conditional action to the button using the 'ACTION' of the object properties section, but when I look for the same 'ACTIONS' menu in my CP7, apparently does not exist.

  More Grrrrr...

  Same question: How can I request a conditional action to an object such as a button... If I insert an object "button... How I bind it to a text field?

  PS. I tried with just a 'button', but that didn't work either.

  You can find the settings for captions to show lower in the properties panel, under 'Options '. (Assuming that Captivate 7 has the same general layout than previous versions.)

• I can take a break in the middle of a conditional action?

  Hello

  Use 6 Captivate, is it possible to introduce a break during a conditional action, while I can, for example display text, pause for 2 seconds and then show a second bit of text, or what I have to jump out of the conditional action, use the timeline, and then create a second conditional action.

  Thank you very much Mike

  Advanced actions are triggered by events.  You have a limited number of events available, including on click (of a button or clickbox), success, on the last attempt, on slide enter, leaving drag, etc.  But there is no default event that you can use in the middle of the timeline on a slide.  Should the user to take action.
