Read external text and display in a slide in Captivate 4?

I wonder if someone else did it?

A slide in one of my lessons depends on text that is constantly evolving and I need a way to display the text WITHOUT having to modify the Captivate project and re - publish, on an hourly basis.

Is there an easy way to do this?

The text is coded HTML so ultimately, I am looking for a way to read an external html file in a Captivate slide. If there is a problem in HTML, the text can be formatted in plain text format.

One idea is to have a 'window' in my lesson of Captivate, that points to a URL. This URL points to a simple HTML file that contains text and maybe a chart or two.

Note:

1. I don't want to open a new page web (I know it's easy to Captivate).

2. I know that I can write the code Flash and 'probably' this insert into Captivate... I wonder if anyone knows how to do this Captivate (without additional Flash code). I Flash at home, but I don't have a Flash to work, and I was hoping to get there before the end of my work day.

Shawn,

You could try my google spreadsheet widget that displays the dynamic text to a google spreadsheet.  It's an AS3 widget and you can find it on my blog here.  And Yes... it's free.

  • Read xls file and display the data in the table.

    Hello

    Try to read the data from an xls or csv file and fill the same data in the table. If I need to use the table to store the data from the file and display, hoping that someone could help.

    Thank you

    Hi hari,.

    One thing that is very important when you use the Excel activeX interface (in case you need it) is good termination of worksheet/workbook/lettering handles.

    You need these handles to specify what cell in which file you are trying to access.

    If you are unable to throw each handle you have, then you will be left with ghost Excel process in your task manager, devours your system's memory.

    Thus, when debugging of your application, open the Task Manager and the watch as Excel treats created/destroyed and make sure that you end up with zero Excel process running when your application is closed.

    Also consider the case of fault for your program. Check that your exit routes did not omit any termination of handle.

    Hello!

    I need to put objects on the top Slide Master. But there is no such properties in the view of the 9 Captivate slide.

  • Display the source shows not only HTML, but also external JS and displayed in a format that is unorganized, how is?

    When I use the view source feature, the pane shows not only the HTML code, but it sticks in all Javascripts that are in an external file. In addition to this all dashes went making it virtually unreadable.

    I have this problem with each monosite, I try to view the source of the. I turned in and uninstalled all add-ons. Starts in safe mode. But nothing seems to work. I got this in firefox 3.6 and upgraded to 4 it would fix, but is not hope.

    It's strange. How about trying to reset all preferences of view_source to their default values.

    Talk openly about: config (type or paste Subject: config to the address bar and press enter)

    In the filter box, type or paste view_s

    When preferences are displayed, do a right click and Reset those appearing in "BOLD" to return to their default values.

    A little luck?

    Edit: Oops, for Mac, read 'right click' like what you normally do to display a context menu.

  • FileToArray or readline to read a file and displays the information in a textbox control

    CVI, I am a beginner and I have a few basic questions.
    I am currently using CVI 2009th

    I want to open a file and transform it into another format. The most important information to be included on the GUI.

    The text display, I use the text box.

    With readline, everything has worked, but for my rows of data is rather impractical.

    That's why I tried the same thing with FileToArray. But the table does not appear in the text box.

    I don't know exactly how works the text box. Is - that the textbox is a page break after a certain number of characters? Or I can write a text in succession away?

    Here are a few lines of my code.

    FileToArray

    FileToArray (road access, & fcsLine, VAL_CHAR, fcsfile_numberofelements, 1, VAL_GROUPS_TOGETHER, VAL_GROUPS_AS_ROWS, VAL_ASCII);

    What is the proper way to display text with filetoarray?

    SetCtrlVal (tabPanelINFO, TABINFO_FCS_VERSION, fcsLine);

    InsertTextBoxLine (tabPanelFCS, TABFCS_FCSBOX,-1, fcsLine);

    ReadLine

    While ((fcsfile_open, fcsLine, fcsfile_numberofelements) ReadLine > = 0)
    {

    InsertTextBoxLine (tabPanelFCS, TABFCS_FCSBOX,-1, fcsLine);

    }

    OK I found documentation on the format of your data, and it seems at the first glance not so difficult to decode.

    A few answers to your questions:

    1. opening a file in ASCII mode allows the system to recognize and welcome the correct new line character (the one that allows to ReadLine to interrupt playback) sequence. As you treat binary data may be ASCII option is not the best, you can use

    2. using a data structure or by analysing the single lines in significant variables is somewhat equivalent: in my opinion, the structure is more immediate, she may not need any extra data setting to use correct variables populated by vales (depends on data format and packaging data: little - endian or big-endian and so on)

    3. as much as I've seen in the part of the file that you have posted, the hexadecimal bytes you observe are not in the file: they are only a means of your Viewer uses to represent unprintable binary data

  • Newby needs help with external text and the madness of the actionscript.

    Hello

    Try to load an external plain txt file into a field of text with Actionscript 3.0. The text file is saved in UTF-8 format in the same file as the Flash movie and I use the following code:

    var external_txt:TextField = new TextField();
    var externalReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("external.txt");
    var externalLoad: URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    externalLoad.load (externalReq);

    externalLoad.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, textReady);

    external_txt.x = 175;
    external_txt.y = 100;
    external_txt. Border = true;
    external_txt. Width = 200;
    external_txt. Height = 200;
    external_txt.WordWrap = true;

    addChild (external_txt);

    function textReady(event:Event):void
    {
    external_txt. Text = event.target.data;
    }

    When I test the movie, the following error message appears in the output window:

    at ScrollingTextField_fla::MainTimeline/ScrollingTextField_fla::frame1()

    I know that the solution is probably very simple, but I'm new to Actionscript and it cannot work around. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • How to eliminate the fade in and out between the slides in Captivate 6?

    I tried to go to the locations suggested in this same topic for Captivate 5, and my settings all appear to be correct.  Fade in and Fade out on the first/last slide are unchecked.  Each individual slide's Transition not verified; each individual element also has the Transition not verified.  When I discovered the master slide I see no option - I get only the part 'General' of the menu - even when I click on the model of slides in the timeline panel.

    I'd appreciate a lot any help you could give.

    Hello

    Glad to know it worked

    If there are answered you post, please mark it as correct.

  • How use the serial port read and display the text but not scroll off the screen?

    I'm new-ish/return user fan of Labview and trying to change the example VI "Advanced serial write and read VI" is the part of the dev suite 2012.  I need to use the string box for ALL of the text from a serial port, always adding and just roll off the screen when the actuals come to the serial port.

    What actually arrived more than bytes (or no bytes AT ALL!), during reading time text, current rolls out of the box in the chain.  Even when receiving 0 bytes, screen is removed.  I'm not very familiar with the locations of functions and even worse to understand obscure references to functions, so please keep very basic answers so I can follow.

    Just to be clear, I need window of the chain behave as HyperTerminal does always displays the data and it is not pushed by window arbitrarily.

  • When I plug my portable hard drive to the usb port it does not read and display the contents...

    When I plug my portable hard drive to the usb port it does not read and display the contents...

    Hi deaza,.

    Ø Have you connected the USB hard drive to the computer directly or you have used an external USB hub to connect?

    O trying to connect to another USB port to check if it works?

    O the hardrive shows in windows of the computer when you connect it?

    Method 1:
    If you have installed security software, I suggest you to temporarily disable the security software and connect the USB and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable the security software after checking.

    Alternatively, you can try to plug the USB key into a different USB port and check if it helps.

    Method 2:
    I suggest trying to launch hardware and troubleshooting of devices and check to see if it helps, here is the link:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-to-do-when-a-device-isn ' t-installed-correctly

    Method 3:
    If this does not help, then follow these steps:

    (a) remove all your USB devices. Use the safely remove the feature to turn them off.

    (b) open Device Manager and navigate to the section for USB. Uninstall all USB drives. There should be one for each USB port, and then restart.

    To open Device Manager, go to the link below and follow the steps:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-Device-Manager

    (c) Windows should re - find all of the devices. If it is not the case, note the error message and let us know.

    You can also navigate to the link below and follow the steps to install the USB device.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  • How to make a slideshow of heroes with the text and the button for each slide?

    I'm trying to make a basic slide show (auto no buttons) which will be the width of page 100% and I want each picture to have a title and a status button they can click to access other pages, for the life of me I can't this is! What I am doing wrong?

    Indeed I could solve my problem, yay 2 + hours of troubleshooting finally paid off!

    I tried the white color text and read 'Check this video now!', but the background was a color of the light, so it is in contradiction with the white text. To remedy this problem, I created a rectangle shape, he made black and reduced the opacity to 40% and threw it behind the text. In order to get the button under the text that says: 'Click here'! I was able to use a copy + paste glitch by sticking the trio in the caption text box for an image, thus allowing me to have a unique caption for each photo in an automatic slideshow. The problem arises due to the notion of a chart of the icon to stay on the text no matter how it is pasted into the text box but I could understand that if you group the text above the rectangle elements before pasting in the text area of the legend, then the text will remain on the chart! Yay problem solved (at least for now)!
