Hide the smart shape on master slide button

Hi all

Looks like I have another issue of nag... I have a project (Captivate 6) that contains the FOOTER navigation that I used smart shape buttons... the problem is, I have a few slides with popups... and buttons are still ALIVE in the pop-up window. And because I can't quote a button on smart shape on a master slide, I don't know how to identify it with a tip Action...

I know that I can go the L-O-O-O-O-O-N-G way, using a different Master and duplicate the navigation on the slide that will give me the ability to appoint the Smart form buttons... I can't HIDE/SHOW them... but the project has 4-8 pop-up windows that would be a large number of buttons...

So, is there a way to hide/show buttons created on a model of slides?

Thank you!

Not possible: objects on master slides do not receive an identification, which means they cannot be used in a fast action (one of my many requests of feature for quite some versions).

In such a case of use I would not place the buttons on form on the model of slides, but on the first slide and their time for the rest of the project, always on top (if it can be done here?). In this case, they will have a unique ID for the whole project. However, there are a few possible problems for buttons in form with a suspension point. When you use a suspension point for a button shape on the master slide, the break will always happen at the end of each slide, regardless of its duration. This is not the case for form buttons timed for the rest of the project.

  • Disable/hide the smart shape buttons

    I use Cp 8.0.1.  I am trying to disable and hide the buttons of smart shape to go to the next/previous slide until a specific time or a situation that happens.

    Smart shape buttons still work even if disable them you or hide them, even if you do not see them. Is there a way to do this?  Thank you.

    Hello

    Are you talking about intelligent form buttons that exist on a slide Master?

    If you don't want a smart shape on a regular slide button to be 'available' to the point of a while, you just configure so that the starting point is when you want on the timeline, as shown below:

  • Auto Slide advance to the next when slide the smart shape buttons are on the sensitive presentation page.

    If I have several buttons smart shape on a slide and I continue by clicking on them, my auto slide advance intermittently. I tried to put a break in action simple and advanced areas leaving. I also placed a button on my model of slides to test. It does not occur on all pages, but it happens on many.

    I'm not sure why the concept of a blade not moving until you click a next button is still such a cryptic mystery in Captivate. This is a very basic function that almost all e-Learning course uses, but it is extremely buggy and almost impossible to remove without a hitch.

    Oh, Captivate, when are you going to become a man?

    It is not mysterious, it has always been the same behavior. If you want more details please visit:

    Why choose Standard Simple action? -Captivate Blog

    Or if you prefer a video: Simple vs stock Standard

    I am intrigued by the "Advanced intermittently", if you want to help, please post a screenshot of the timeline.

    The event on the output is not a good choice for a break, for several reasons: break will take place after the output, which means that on the first frame of the next slide.

  • Captivate 7 change the smart shape on score button image?

    I know that Captivate 6 does not support changing the image of the smart shape to the overview button.  Captivate 7 does it take?

    I forgot to test this on my trial prior to its expiration.

    To build on the response to Lilybiri, I think that my desire for buttons have three States (high, low) is driven by what I see in other applications on the web apps and installed locally.  All the buttons tend to have three States.

    It would be very happy to be able to customize these three States, just as we can with the current buttons.

  • Captivate 5: hide the playback for a specific slide bar

    Is it possible to remove the bar reading and its controls to a specific slide to ensure that the user (after reading some information) necessarily must click on a button to go to the next slide?

    For example: I built a production in which the quiz questions appear at certain intervals. I don't want the user to skip the question slides and proceed just click on the Play button. I want that they to select an option and click on the Submit button, which then leads to the next slide. So is it possible to hide the PlayBar to these slides only?

    John

    Hello

    You have configured by action 'Enter' to the first Question slide hide PlayBar? So it makes sense that the action you set up 'Leaving' review slide (think you point to the slide of Score here?) is devastated when you re-enter the first slide of the question.

    Could you try to hide the bar just before reading the first Question slide, slide "output on" slide just before the first Question? I think it would work, since this slide will not visited again when you return to the first slide of the Question for review. In this case, the action triggered on leaving the Score slide has an effect. Did not try, am a rush, please obtain if it does not work.

  • The preSubmit for a Master Pages button fires several times.

    I coded the JavaScript following in the event preSubmit for a submit button that will result in a deletion of the database.

    Form1. #pageSet [0]. Page1.ButtonAreaTop.DeleteButton::preSubmit:form - (JavaScript, client)

    var resp = xfa.host.messageBox ("Delete this deposit?" ) , 'Check' , 2 , 2);

    if (resp. == '4') {xfa.event.cancelAction = false;} }

    else {xfa.event.cancelAction = true;} }

    The script works, but because the button is on the Master Pages and the form has several pages, the preSubmit event is called as many times as there are pages.  So, the user must answer the same question several times.  It's a little embarrassing.

    Does anyone have an idea on how I can keep the DeleteButton on the Master Pages and stop several times (once for each page) display of the message box?

    This gives a test:

    if (Page1.index==0){
    var resp = xfa.host.messageBox("Delete this filing?","Verify",2,2);
    
    if (resp == "4") { xfa.event.cancelAction = false;} 
    
    else { xfa.event.cancelAction = true;}
    }

  • Provide the feedback score of quiz slide button

    Hi, we have created a training using adobe captivate 6.  We kept a final quiz containing 5 questions.  In the end, there is a slide of score.  Death of the quiz, we want a button called feedback to appear. The button should be a hyperlink to a url.  How can we achieve this?

    In 6 Captivate, you can use a form, while checking the option 'Use as button' in the properties panel. Among the possible actions for such a form button is to open a URL. There are even form buttons in the category button (such as 'i') that are already set up a button with this action.

    This button of form making it invisible by unchecking the visibility output in the properties panel. Since you want to have appear when entering the Score slide, you will need to use an advanced conditional of action to be triggered on enter to the Score slide. You can use a condition based on the cpQuizInfoPassFail of system variables. Something like this:

    IF cpQuizInfoPassFail is equal to 1

    THEN show Shapebutton (specify the label of the button)

    OTHERWISE, continue

  • How to activate the sound from the smart shape button visible


    Hello

    I have a project with keys mute and reactivate through a project. Buttons (intelligent forms) are shared between the project and seems to work fine (if mute is active, the mute button is visible and active).

    The problem is that we have integrated video we want the user to see and hear. If the user has audio disabled, I can get the audio to play on the slide video by running a fast action (assign cpCmndMute with 0). Now, when the video is finished, we want to put its original condition (if they have been cut before the video, we want to have the restored silent).

    Currently, we have the button 'Activate' (the name of the instance in the properties), so we're looking to see if this is possible:

    If the "Enable" button is folded (it is on the stage behind the video - which means that the volume has been disabled in the previous slide), can define us cpCmndMute with 1 (meaning we are back in a silent mode) at the end of the slide?

    Is this possible with the help of the conditional actions?

    Thank you.

    You are probably aware that you need an event triggers an action. Is it true that you will use the event to enter the next slide?

    Given that cpCmndMute is a variable system of the film category, I would like to add a user variable to track if the user had put to turn. I guess you have two form buttons, will label them for the time SB_Mute and SB_Unmute. The default situation is that cpCmndMute the value 0. Create a variable user v_mute with a default value of 0. Add this command actions triggered by shape keys, but NOT to action which restores the sound for the video slide (hope that's clear?):

    Affect of v_mute with cpCmndMute

    Thereafter, enter action on the slide following video, you will need a conditional, tip action:

    IF v_mute is equal to 1

    Assign the cpCmndMute with 0
    Affect of v_mute with cpCmndMute

    Disable SB_Unmute

    Hide SB_Unmute

    See the SB_Mute

    Select SB_Mute

    ON THE OTHER

    Assign the cpCmndMute with 1
    Affect of v_mute with cpCmndMute

    Disable SB_Mute

    Hide SB_Mute

    See the SB_Unmute

    Select SB_Unmute

    This would restore the situation of the slide before the video slide.

  • Captivate 8 - cannot change the captions or contained text of the smart shapes

    I am arm wrestling with C8 after C7 update last week.  Now, on the first software Simulation, I recorded from scratch, I can choose failure of legends and the intelligent forms with text in them, but I can't edit their content.  These elements are NOT locked in the timeline panel, otherwise I would not be able to select them.  I can move them around, but they contain the auto text that Captivate put into them, and I can't change it. I can also change the shape and type of legend of failure or intelligent form. When I insert a new legend I have the same problem.


    The project has 55 slides, so it should not be because of its size.  I erased the library of unused items.

    I recorded under a new name, closed and reopened the project, closed and reopened C8 - same question. Any ideas?

    Sorry, I forgot this post from last week and published inadvertently.  I'll mark this one as replied to clean of open-ended questions.

  • Hide the Textbox when you click on buttons

    Hi all

    Im trying to create a form to our customer service representatives to make their life easier. Which is a plus for me.

    I tried Googling and playing with scripting Validation and nothing seems to work.

    Here's what I'm trying to accomplish.

    There are 3 radio buttons (credit, repair and replacement), I need to have the possibility of having only 1 of the selected three

    So if a button is clicked it would make a series of text boxes and text visible and hide others

    I can't mention how to proceed.

    Found this article, but im not sure if it applies. IM using Acrobat X Pro.

    I have acutally thought of it earlier

    var f = this.getField ("c1");

    var g = this.getField ("Text2");

    If (f.value == (2)) # changed that "if (f.value is"YES") #

    {

    g.Display = display.hidden;

    }

    on the other

    {

    g.Display = display.visible;

    }

    If (event.value == 'Yes') { ##Changed that "if (event.value == 'YES') {} ' # }

    this.getField ("Hidden_Field") .display = display.visible

    } else {}

    this.getField('Hidden_Field').display = display.hidden

    }

    Thanks for the reply so :-D

  • Problem with the smart shape in reactivity text captions

    I have slides with many text captions, which are all intelligent forms with text inside them. Tips on how can I prevent the text to be cut in small breakpoints would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried different settings but nothing works well. I prefer not to manually edit and resize text captions to each breakpoint.

    You have configured by the styles for forms in the management Style of the object to change the font size in each breakpoint? Regarding the size of the form how do you define Position Panel for these forms? Do not be naïve, Jay, a sensitive project needs much more time to create. You will have to edit three situations instead of one, but the right settings can save time. I know that marketing is an another story

  • Smart shape above the button, button still running

    Hi Fokes,

    I am using Captivate 8.0.1.242 (latest version), and I came across something quite boring.

    Tell so you create a button that will take you to the next page, then say that you create a smart shape above the button, which is then defined as a button 'Use as button', but when you click it, it will execute the button below.

    Even if the smart shape is not defined as a button, if you happen to click where is the button below, you will end up on the next slide.

    The intelligent form is on the top layer of most, over everything, including the button.

    Anyone have any ideas on what is happening here?

    You can have two interactive objects in the same place at the same time. That has always been the case. It works correctly when you view a button in time, as I have explained in one of the scenarios here: buttons in the form of rocking - Captivate 6 - Captivate blog

    An interactive, covered with a non-interactive object object maintains its interactivity, have many examples of this behavior on my blog too. The only exception I've found recently (to CP8) is when you cover an interactive object (like a text input area) with a widget static (as an interaction of the drop-down list), then the widget now seems to kill the features of the interactive object. He didn't is not logical, but so far (connected to a bug report) haven't heard back about this problem.

  • Master slide with the scenario, reference, reference active / disable

    I have a model of slides with this little built in purple overlay:

    The three icons are smart shape filled with image buttons that play white in the bearing and States out of service.

    I want to use them on slides unguided practice for:

    • Scenario - Toggle text caption. Scenario is checked by default on a previous slide in its entirety, it would be a reminder for the slides, that it applies to (good for several slides)
    • Tip - Toggle text caption. Used when the learner gets stuck, sort of a hint of specific workflow (changes slide to slide)
    • Reference - link. Open a tool of work with step by step instructions.

    I would like to use variables so I could control to show exactly when these rockers are used on each slide, and I guess that I need stocks advanced on my model of slides.

    How can I do this?

    Long ago, I explained a similar workflow in these forums and blog on this subject:

    'Beat the system' - save time by creating advanced Actions (Captivate) - Captivate blog

    It is the workflow, I'd certainly use for the Tip:

    1. create a v_hint of user variables
    2. insert this variable in a text container on the first slide where you need (form or legend, I always mention that, because the shape is much more flexible for the style) and don't forget to adjust the length as high as possible. in previous versions maximum number of characters in a variable used to 256, but Rod pointed out, it is now lower (about 150)
    3. make this large enough text container, so that it can have your longer index and the time for the rest of the project, always on top.
    4. Create the action of the show/hide button that container (have several blog on shape toggle buttons)
    5. Create a joint action or a tip action that must be triggered by pressing enter for each slide where you want the features. It will be quite simple: assign v_hint with «...» ' (text you want for that slide being in the indicator); I would have preferred a shared action on a bunch of advanced duplicate actions because they save on the size of the file, and you can manage the library

    You can use the same approach (with a different user variable) for the script, but due to the limitation of the length of a variable and the fact that you have only 3 different versions, I would argue just to have 3 different, but still timed text containers for the rest of the project and always on top.

    With respect to the URL, I'm afraid you will have to use JS. I think that TLCMediaDesign (David Crawford) posted on this workflow.  Publish to HTML or SWF? There are widgets autour.

  • Icon display/hide the TOC on some slides/s

    Hello

    I'm trying to learn Captivate and im using version 8.1.

    Trying to show/hide the TOC icon on some slides.

    For example I want to display the TOC icon on some of my slides, except of these slides, I would like to hide.

    Searched the forum, but could not very well.

    Is this possible to do?


    Thank you..

    You can't easily change the buttons in the default player bars. But if you use a button custom shape on the first slide to turn the table of contents (only possible overlap), this time for the rest of the project button, always on top, it will have a unique ID (name). You can use the event to enter the slides when you want to hide this button table of contents: SB_TOC hide.

    To create a button to toggle for OCD, take a look on: 1 share = 5 buttons toggle - Captivate blog

    ATTENTION: a table of contents in overlay by default has a button to expand and a button to reduce the table of contents. The default buttons are the double arrows. You won't want to leave these buttons visible for the user. What can be done to replace the buttons (project, Table of contents, settings), which are indicated as "Icon to expand" and "Collapse Icon" by a small rectangle in the same color as the background color of the slide.
