Working capital and advanced Actions - Keep Alpha slidelets

Hi all

I have a question about the slidelet in combination with advanced actions. What I want to do is the following:

When a user points to a specific item on my image, I want to set the alpha of everything that surrounds this item to 25% while keeping this element to 100% for the duration of the bearing (mouse over the rollover area).

So I cut my image into different elements and use Advanced Scripting in the elements of specific bearing to say: on the overthrow, apply the effect-> image_surrounding_element-> Alpha = 25%.

I do it for all images that are not part of the element that is subject to the substitution.

However, here's my problem. I can keep the text in the rolling element very well for the time that I put. But when I rollover, the alpha Gets the value 25% but after a second, or 3 it of like the screen then resets and all alpha is 100%.

How can I set the duration of the fast action to last as long as I want? Or at least so that the mouse away from the rollover area?

Best,

Frank

Welcome to our community

Personally, I would take the easiest road with that. I would like to size of the rollover area that is presented when you smile more basically to cover the entire screen. Can I insert a highlight box object and its size to be what you want the overthrow of sound. Then, use the option in the shadow of the outer part of the highlight box.

There is no way I know to remove the X. However, I wonder if you tried what I suggested above if the X seems to be deleted because it would be at the edge of the screen.

See you soon... Rick

  • The Template Variables and advanced actions

    I created a template to 8 Captivate, which includes several variables user and advanced actions (the model was created with Captivate 7.)

    When I create a new project from the template, Captivate automatically creates duplicates of all the variables user and advanced actions changing the names slightly (add numbers at the end). The thing is now I have twice as many actions and variables, and Captivate does not allow me to delete the shares referenced by the model. How to avoid this?

    Is it possible to return to the original set of variables user and actions on my project? Thank you.

    The upgrade often cause this kind or problems. Normally, you should be able to easily remove CP8 variables, but of course, I do not avoid upgrade especially when the characteristics have changed as is now done with stocks shared in CP8. I agree that it would be easier if the upgrade still worked smoothly, but learned after so many years with the software that it is rarely the case.

    The case you describe is perfectly suited for common actions, I even used it as an example in an online seminar I did (always for CP7) and definitely want to show it again if I ever get the chance to make another or provide training. Creating a library with shared actions that you can use over and over again now is no longer a daydream. No need for a model reuse advanced actions.

  • Can I use conditional and advanced actions on the same button?

    I'm fairly new to Captivate, but come from a flash background and I do of Captivate to do certain things, that I expected to be straightforward and a normal requirement.

    I want to create a screen with a number of interactive objects, in this case photos, it's the learner clicks on to display a text element.

    By clicking on the following image, the first piece of text is hidden and a second piece shown.

    There are 6 images/buttons which have to work in this way.

    However, I also want to determine if all the buttons have been used, as we force the user to view the entire slide before you continue.

    I can do the hide/show text and buttons, and I wrote a conditional action to check the variables for each button. However I do not know how and when to appeal to this action.

    I was hoping that in my Advanced action for each button, I could add in a call to the conditional action "record"variables", which would be very well fulfil this requirement, however this doesn't seem to be the case."

    I also animation/effects on the timeline before the images are on the meaning of screen I want to go back to the beginning of the timeline to use an event "on enter.

    I am surprised that this isn't something that people most need because while it may be frowned upon outside in the field of e-learning, disabled navigation is frankly not will disappear and working for a large corporation will be a must.

    If anyone can shed some light on this, or perhaps suggest a better approach then I'd appreciate it.

    Thank you.

    Of course, it is possible. This is the approach I explained (for previous versions):

    http://blog.lilybiri.com/template-for-reusing-script

    The models that I offered it, were invited to a lot of times and are used all over the world, which is funny

    I also have templates for CP6 and 7, but has stopped offering everything for free. And 7, you can have all the shares shared in a library that can be used as external library... just a tip: http://blog.lilybiri.com/new-features-in-captivate-7-dot-01

    Agreement on controls on effects for paths, please submit a feature request as many have already done to have the most control over the coordinate without having to change the XML file.

    It would be nice to have timed events. Jim Leichliter has a widget (only for the SWF) which allows some scripted events. The interaction of timer that can do as well, but is not very accurate because after that time there is always a lag of about 2 seconds.

    http://blog.lilybiri.com/events-and-advanced-actions tells us about the available events.

    Sorry for all these links, but advanced actions are my passion, since they appeared with 4. They are limited, all right, but I managed to convince many users to give them a try at different levels. Would love to train more users for this "point-and-click" approach that does not really need programming skills, but only a logical mind.

  • JavaScript and advanced Actions

    I try to do the following in Captivate 6.0:

    1. Display an animated gif of the dice on a slide in Captivate [work]
    2. When you click on:
      1. Generate a number 1-6 as a result of "the launch" and assign it to a variable [of work]
      2. Show / hide items on the page so that the user can see the result of their deployment and a next button so they can continue to [does not]

    I tried to reach the Show / Hide by:

    • Jump to the current slide, using JavaScript and
    • Advanced action on enter to the slide, which checks if the value of the dice has been set and then show / hide objects as you wish.

    Unfortunately, it seems that when I jump to the same slide using JavaScript, enter it event is not called. If I click back, and then forward on the playback bar, I see the desired result.

    I have included the JavaScript and the tip Action (fixed on enter to the slide) below.

    Is there a way to:

    1. Update the JavaScript so that when I jump to the current slide, enter to be executed? OR
    2. Call my action advanced directly from JavaScript? OR
    3. Get the desired result in a different way... I'm not particularly fussed I used JavaScript or advanced Actions to achieve this!

    Here are the details:

    Variable (set through project-> Variables...)


    Dice_Value = - 1

    Fast action (in between)

    If Dice_Value is greater than or equal to 1

    Hide Dice_Animation

    Hide Dice_Click_Box

    See the Dice_Value_Text

    See the Dice_Next

    See the Dice_Next_Caption

    On the other

    See the Dice_Animation
    See the Dice_Click_Box
    Hide Dice_Value_Text
    Hide Dice_Next
    Hide Dice_Next_Caption

    JavaScript (called when the user clicks on the animation of dice)

    function rollTheDice() {}

    cpObj = document var. Captivate;
    var diceValue = 1;
    currentTime var = cpObj.cpEIGetValue ('cpInfoCurrentTime');
    var lastDigit = parseInt (currentTime.charAt (7));
    {Switch (lastDigit)}

    case 7:

    diceValue = 1;
    break;

    case 8:

    diceValue = 2;
    break;

    case 9:

    diceValue = 4;
    break;

    case 0:

    diceValue = 5;
    break;

    by default:

    diceValue = lastDigit;
    break;

    }
    cpObj.cpEISetValue ('m_VarHandle.Dice_Value', diceValue);
    cpObj.cpEISetValue ('cpCmndGotoSlide', cpObj.cpEIGetValue ('rdinfoCurrentSlide'));
    cpObj.cpEISetValue('rdcmndResume',1);

    }

    rollTheDice();

    If you return to the first image of a slide, the action that is triggered by the event progress on enter is not executed. I'm an advanced user action, Javascript is still just a mystery to me. If I want to enter action to repeat itself, I will return to the slide before the slide that contains a conditional action (slide has already been visited, so setting a variable and checking that one) get immediately to the next slide. This way subsequently enter event repeats. Haven't checked it yet, but maybe browse the framework before the first frame of the current slide will be work as well (micro-navigation), something I have to try it because maybe you need to get a couple of frames further back.

  • Images and advanced actions

    I'm setting up a demo of "false" to a program that uses our society.  I have a picture that should appear on the 100 + slides when you click and then click box disappear when you click another click box. Is this possible without renaming each image and creating multiple advanced actions?

    Example: See the slide: click the address: an address box image is displayed: click x to close the image address and see the original slide.

    I am using captivate 8

    You cannot attach files, you must insert screenshots in the form of images using the camera icon in the toolbar:

    Why click on boxes? Indeed, this means that you can copy/paste on each slide. Forget them and use this workflow:

    1. Put the image on the first slide, it time for the rest of the project, always on top. Then hide it output ("eye icon" in the upper-left panel properties). It will have a unique ID, it will be called "Im_One".
    2. Replace your boxes click the shape on the first slide buttons, so you as well for the rest of the project. Alternative is to put on the main model of slides. Remember do not overlap with other interactive objects on individual slides.
    3. Create an advanced or shared (better if you want to reuse this much) action for each of the buttons on the form, where you can hide or display the image. You can even create a toggle button, if you use a conditional action and follow-up user variable v_visib

  • Why continue the option does not work in my Advanced action?

    I'm Captivate 7. I have a slide when the user clicks the click box running a tip action: to view animation, play audio (beep) and then it should continue (go to the next slide). But it will not. The slide is set to 4 seconds long, but stops until the user clicks the click box. The tip action reads: Show Laserline; Beep of game; Continue.

    In the preview mode, if I wait more than 4 seconds, when I click on it just moves to the next slide without executing the action. If I click in 4 seconds, he will play the advanced action but it won't move to the next slide (unless I click the clickbox once again). I tried to change her continue to go to the next page, but then it will not display or play. What Miss me?

    You must have the interruption of just click the box before the animation, which means you will have to shorten the duration of the timeline click box. You can add sound to animation, or create an audio object (Audio objects: menu!-blog of Captivate). Could you post a screenshot of the timeline? If the animation + audio duration matches the duration of the scenario after the break, the playback bar will automatically switch to the next slide.

  • Audio management with animation and advanced actions

    Hello everyone,

    I actually try to use Captivate in order to show that a screen with several animations appear one by one with the following procedure:

    http://blogs.Adobe.com/Captivate/2011/05/adding-multiple-click-based-animations-on-a-scree n-with-adobe-captivate - 5.html

    But, I have a voice audio associated with the slide itself, and files audio link to each imported animation.

    I would like to cut the 'master' sound to listen to only a particular sound.

    You have an idea on how to do something like that?

    Thank you very much

    Best regards

    F.Bo

    Hello

    You cannot achieve this with the audio of the slide, but if you attach the audio to an 'invisible' object (perhaps a rectangle with fill transparent and no respect), you can control the audio using actions advanced to show/hide this object. This is how I realized several effects in my last blog. If I want to control audio that I will never insert as slide audio.

    Playtime with audio and widgets

    Thus, the workflow would be to hide animation with its seal and show the invisible object, which now plays the previous slide audio. When the user clicks to see an animation, attach an action to this box click (or button) that hides the invisible object and shows the animation.

  • Advanced actions and effects in CP5.5

    Ok

    It is theory based only at the moment, but I have a problem with it. In the interest of this scenario lets say there is only 1 slide.

    What would be the best way to use AA to trigger 5 objects on stage on the path to another part of the scene?

    I set myself a conditional action that essentially says

    IF rdinfoCurrentFrame = 60

    THEN apply effect to Motion Path LefttoRight Image_1

    OTHERWISE, continue

    However, this doesn't seem to work at all, and even if she did, I can't change the itinerary of MotionPath.

    I also tried with Rotation 360 basic effects.

    Anyone used previously?

    I could sit and do it all in the timeline, I suppose, but I would like to think that there is a way to the AA to achieve? If not, why is this option in the AA in the first place?

    I look forward to your contributions!

    Hello

    You can apply effects in advanced actions, but there are a lot of limitations: you can not enter the timings etc.

    My solution is to create exactly the effect I want, then save it as a custom effect and then apply the custom effect. First, you will need to apply this effect to an object, to make it visible in the drop-down list in the dialog box advanced actions.

    You should know that most of the effects of movement are using coordinates, based on the position of the object on the stage. What makes delicate: If you apply a motion effect to go from left to right, it will run correctly the first time. The next effect starts with the current location of the object, so it moves off the slide. I hope that clarifies something.

    I asked, pleading for more functionality when applying effects by advanced actions, but apparently not many users are favorable, whereas up to now nothing has changed

    Lilybiri

    PS You forgot to answer "why is this option here..." ». Most of the problems are motion effects, the other effecs work well in advanced actions.

  • JavaScript advanced action

    I created a tip action that I called "showMe".

    Then, I tried to trigger JavaScript. I tried

    cp.runJavascript ("showMe");

    cp.runJavascript (showMe);

    and

    cp.runJavascript (cp.model.data.showMe.oca); (I guess).

    but they give just JavaScript errors.

    How to call and advanced action Cp 9 using JavaScript?

    The cp.runJavascript needs another "_self" argument, but it still does not work.

    The Advanced "showMe" action name exists in the IDE, not in the output of HTML5. The only thing that exists in the code is all JavaScript or cpCommands that make up the tip action, that is to say:

    CP. Show ("Something");

    cp.runJavascript ("someFunction () ', '_self'")

    cp.jumpToNextSlide)

    You are on the right track by using the "oca", but does not have the implementation. You have to find the item that has the specific property "oca".

    cp.runJavascript (cp.model.data.slideID.elementID.oca, "_self");

    If you have a button called 'cc_btn' which is configured to display the rest of the project, it would be:

    cp.runJavascript (cp.model.data.cc_btn.oca, "_self");

    It all depends on what is triggering the fast action. You will first need to obtain the id of the slide, once you have that you can browse the 'if' to get the item and property ownership "oca".

  • I need the Accordion widget to open on working capital for my mobile site

    Does anyone know how to remove the mouse to the bottom of the State for the Accordion widget that ships with Adobe Muse? I need panels to open on working capital for my mobile site.

    Customization should be as the accordion can be set only to open with the click of a mouse action, States can be defined even for working capital and the mouse downwards so removing the State would be unnecessary.

    Other than the customization, you can go with this option: http://www.muse-themes.com/products/accordion-hover

  • A custom in advanced actions effect switches back to default

    The old custom effects and advanced actions...

    I am trying to apply an effect to an object:

    Screen Shot 2015-05-15 at 09.29.27.png

    But when I update the action, it changes by default:

    Screen Shot 2015-05-15 at 09.29.46.png

    I tried to change the order as suggested by jmblackman in this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/950517?q=advanced%20action%20custom%20effect

    But then the object will appear just without effect.

    Customization, I've done was the duration of the effect. So I don't really know if it really changes the default effect or that the duration of a custom effect is 1 second that I remember reading somewhere.

    Is there someone out there who controlled this part of Captivate?

    I use 8 Captivate by the way.

    Thank you

    Indeed, it is the flow of tedious work to make it appear in the list. But 0, 7secs won't work, too short. I really hope one day these limitations for effects by advanced actions will be done with.

  • Almost there with advanced Actions

    I found a way... I think so.. I could create my Quiz in Captivate, click a button, submit 5 questions in this section, return to the main slide and have this section button grayed out, click the next, etc.

    I found this article in which Mark (I guess that Fletcher) created an example with doors and I did the same thing, I had images greyed out under the buttons and then hid the buttons on a scenario.  It works... almost.

    I created variables user for each button and set the values to 0.  Once a section is selected and questions answered, on the slide of congratulations (they are children) following, I put the corresponding variable to 1.  Then drag on output, returned to the home page where the slopes of script on slide enter and the parts to the answer buttons are hidden, showing through the greyed out image.

    My problem is that the article no matter what is answered first works very well.  Back to section is good, but when you click the second button, you get the launch for this article page and clicking on the button continue does nothing while the slide is sitting there and just does nothing which I suppose is 3 seconds can I substitute because I have objects on the page.  Then he moves to the slide section completed without ever presenting the question.

    It works this way if I try to respond to the first section first and then the second or I first answer to another and then try the first one second.  Whoever I do first works. Whichever one I second does not work.

    I wish I could copy the script in here, but of course, I can't that Captivate is not select, copy of the script window.

    Any ideas?  This is the example that Marc and his works, each time, but of course, he won't transparent intermediaries in the meantime, I found... which, IMO, should not be a factor.

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

    Nancy

    Hi Nancy,.

    I think I wasn't clear enough. Lets consider situation below

    1 quiz has 10 question slides and a slide of result

    2. you have a House slide that allows you to access a particular section and take questions in there.

    3. you jump to slide home after taking the questions in a section

    4. you select again the section to go to and take Questions in it.

    In the above situation after that step 3, Captivate will consider that you have completed the questionnaire as you jump to a slide that overflows the Quiz rank (1st question slide and blade of result)

    In step 4, all Questions will be greyed out you already took the Quiz.

    It is also designed as a Cp because it supports only one quiz per project. This isn't a new feature introduced in Cp4.

    To work around the problem, you can try variables and advanced actions. In this case the increase in the number of Quiz attempts to Quiz--> Quiz preferences--> pass/fail. You must also calculate the score for yourself and replace the result with your personal results slide blade.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you

    My dashboard contains a prompt to choose a year that, once selected must display the sum bearing of the income for the previous two years, including the present.
    For example if the year is 2008, I need to get the sum of ' 08 +'07 +'06 revenue turnover.

    The problem is that I can't use AGO function since I need to perform this year, QTD and MTD on this amount of working capital and OBIEE does not use the features of nested levels time series. I mean MTD (Ago (revenues, year, 1)) is not allowed.

    We tried this FILTER function to achieve this, but it did not help.

  • Captivate 6 - Advanced action does not work in the project?

    Hello

    I use 6 Captivate. In my project I have a common slide2 which is called when clicking on the two different buttons (C1 and C2). Slide 2 contains several objects, saying Text1, text 2, 1 button, and Button2.

    Slide 5 I have a C1, I defined the on success action: execute advanced actions

    Script: If CPIntoCurrent Slide is equal to 5

    Action:

    Go to slide 2

    See the Text1

    See the Button1

    Hide Text2

    See the Button2

    Similar action has been set to C2 (slide 8) redirecting to slide 2 showing the Text2 and Button2, hiding other objects.

    These scripts where works fine, until I installed a patch on the adobe site. The patch was intended to display the video correctly in the PDF when selected the option display the table of contents.

    But unfortunately he's completely unbalanced the script of existing projects. I also tried to uninstall completely and fresh install Adobe Captivate, but not luck .

    Help, please.

    @Rod and with a concern for users of later versions (I'm not sure 6, this version did more) 6.

    It is perfectly possible to show/hide objects of an 'Advanced' action (not with a simple gesture) that is running on another slide of the slide corresponding to the object. I am certain about it for versions 7 and 8. I have not been much about 6 blogging and was bit sloppy on this release to keep track of all the changes. If you don't believe me (what happens in these forums), CP8 users take a look at the example file Cloudair included with this release: the action advanced in the first slide shows/hides objects anywhere in the file based on the information of the new cpInfoGeoLocation of system variables.

    Rod, I see you post this comment often, I just wanted to add these details. As I explained that I don't know when this change occurred (6.1 is my suspicion, but cannot test). In CP5 you could hide objects that have been timed for the rest of the project on a slide different than its original location. Since 5.5, you might also show this type of object.

    Lieve
