Can I create a button that will take me to a random slide in a sequence?

Let's say I have three simulations setup and the simulations start on slide 5, 15, and 23. Can I make a button that will randomly jump to one of those slides?

You have to execute that script using an event, in this case you'll use the Success event of the button that you created to 'jump'. And it will probably be an advanced action, unless you execute the JS with the On Enter event of the slide. You have two commands: first to execute the script, second to jump to that slide, for which you'll have to use a system variable cpCmndGotoSlide and the value of the variable returned by the JS. Slide numbering starts with index 0.

  • Can you create a button that will go to multiple key frames?

    Hi, I am trying to make a rpg style character select interface.  What i am trying to do is very similar to the picture below. How do you create a button like the stats, gear, and supplies that will each show a different image or text depending on which character you choose. If noone have played this marvel facebook game before, if you choose for instance Ironman, then the buttons on the right change to stats, bio, and gear. Each character will show a different bio when the bio button is clicked. Do i create a different screen for each character with the same button layout in the same place? I think i just answered my own question but i want to make sure that is possible. Should each character portrait, stats, bio, and gear be on its own layer and have the buttons go to those specific keyframes? thanks

    While you could create a different screen for each, a better way to do this is via some form of database.  The buttons cause functions to be executed and the functions utilize data resources based on the selections that are established.
    So if you pick a particular character, a variable is a assigned a value that indicates that.  That variable is then utilized to extract the data associated with the character and to build the screen elements related to the options for that character.

  • Creating a button that will Copy my view from so I can paste it to MS Word

    Is there a way I can create a button that will copy my view from so I can paste it MS Word?
    I know I can select the entire form and copy and paste it, but is there a way to do it via a button similar to my "Print Form" button?
    Thank you.

    so there isn't a button that will copy the text my view form?
    instead of highlighting the data I want to easily copy it so I can paste it on a word document
    I came up with a script that when a item is highlighted I click the copy to clipboard and it copies the item.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function CopyToClipboard()
    CopiedTxt = document.selection.createRange();
    CopiedTxt.execCommand("Copy");
    </script>
    but is there a way I can put in the script the area I want to start the copy from instead of highlighting the text first?
     

  • I need instructions on how to create a button that will email a pdf form to someone else on a websit

    I NEED ASSISTANCE CREATING A BUTTON THAT WILL EMAIL A PDF FORM FROM A WEBSITE TO WHOEVER THE VIEWER WANTS TO

    Just a bit more info. E-mail can be used, but has potential problems -- often related to the client machine that you have no control over. Use the data submissions (either FDF or XML) rather than the full PDF so you do not have to deal with Reader Rights and the related license issues. The FDF and XML data files are easily imported into the original form so that you see what the client sees. With those aspects in mind, just go ahead and try one. Be aware that you can add form fields using the form tools in the Advanced Editing tools, OR use the forms menu that will take you to Designer. You might want to try both to see the pros and cons. Be sure to keep such a test simple so you are not wasting time on your final form just for testing. I typically create a 1 page form that has all of the possible fields for such a test.

  • Firstly hello to all. I'm looking to create a vi that will take a single logged output from a thermocoup​le and monitor the temperatur​e and produce a Boolean when the temperatur​e has stabilised for a pre determined time say 1minuet.

    Firstly hello to all. I’m looking to create a vi that will
    take a single logged output from a thermocouple and monitor the temperature and
    produce a Boolean when the temperature has stabilised for a pre determined time
    say 1minuet. I have managed to find a couple of examples on the forum but one
    will only run on V8.2 and I have V8, the other is for more than one channel
    witch is fine I can always reduce this, but it was the timing feature I was
    having difficulty with. I looking to monitor the temperature of a motor until
    it has stabilised prior to testing and then to use this temperature as a
    reference. Pleas forgive my ignorance if this is a very simple thing but I’ am
    learning and really enjoying it. Thank you in advance for your answers.

    Hi
    Graham, thank you for you reply.
    What I’ am trying to achieve is a vi I can use in a motor
    testing setup, a part of this would be to warm the motor up until the exhaust
    air temperature has stabilised, this takes approximately 10 minuets. I was
    thinking of just letting the motor run for this time and leave it at this, but
    some motors warm up quicker that others and. I am basically looking for a vi with
    an adjustable temperature window of say ±5 C° in 1° increments, timing wise 1minuet
    to 10min the adjustment is so I a can use this for another application. I tried
    to adjust the code I found at the link below but had a little difficulty with
    the timing. Thank you so much for your help it’s much appreciated.

    Can I create a button that copy's a certain test to my clipboard?
    For example, when I click the button on the website, then the next time to paste somewhere, a specific text appears?
    If this is possible, could someone please explain how? =(

    Hi Travis,
    There is no native feature in Muse to achieve this. However, you can use custom code to achieve this. Please refer to the following link for the sample code : How to copy to the clipboard in JavaScript? - Stack Overflow

  • Creating button that will take you to table of contents pages

    I'm using CS4 and have created a 30 page document with a table of contents (TOC) on page 2. On my master page I have previous and next page buttons that have rollover states. These work.
    I want a button in the middle that will take you to the TOC page.
    I have tried creating a text anchor on page 2 and setting the action of my button to go to anchor but in the button window the text anchors area is grayed out and has 'none' in it.
    I also tried to have a button with a rollover state just for show (no action assigned) and putting an invisible hyperlink on top of the button. The link goes to page 2. This only works on the areas where my hyperlink does not overlap the button.
    Is there a way around this?

    Is this a Pages question? YOu are in the Numbers for Mac forum.

  • Having stopped audio with a swf inside a sidelet can someone create a swf that will resume the audio

    Ok, rick is going to post the fla of this file and I will
    post the swf. Basically this is all about having a slide that has
    audio running all the way through and enabling the user to roll
    over a sidelet and have the video and audio stop playback.
    At present, the max you can achieve is, to stop video. The
    audio keeps going and of course everything gets out of
    sync. Rick has create a swf that you input into a sidelet (
    after having imported your image or video ) which stops the audio.
    Fantasitc. Unfortunatly he was not successful in creating a swf
    that will resume the audio.
    So there is the mission. To create something that will resume
    the audio, be it a swf inside the sidelet or something else.

    Hi there paul. Am I right in thinking that your code will
    mute the audio. In my situation this would cause problems becasue
    you would roll over the sidelet - the audio would go silent and
    when you rolled off, or resumed the audio, it would have been
    playing so again the video and audio will be out of sync.
    Rick - rather than another swf which would activate the audio
    and video when you roll off the sidelet ( while that is the perfect
    solution ) what about looking at a button the user can press to
    resume things, maybe Im wrong but that sounds a little easier.
    ( however for all those reading this that is not really the
    solution I am looking for, what Im looking for is the above
    solution where you can just roll off and on and so on )

  • Can i create a button that links to the slideshow widget

    I am creating a portfolio site for a class. It is a one page site, One of my sections is going to be my "work" section. I want to categorize my work, So I have made buttons that pertain to each category of work. Is there anyway that I can link this to the slideshow widget. When one of the category buttons is clicked I want the slideshow widget to pop up. Is this possible? I can not find a tutorial and I am very new to Muse. Thank you!

    Hi,
    You can't directly associate a button with a slideshow. However, you can embed slideshow in a tooptip target and add the button to the tooltip trigger as mentioned in this post : Re: How do i create a button which will show new content on same page?

    Is that possible? No extra options needed, just a quick print.

    With the JavaScript doc.print method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.511.html

  • How can I create a button that performs the function of a keyboard shortcut, specifically print scrn

    I need my presentation users to take a screen shot of a slide within my presentation.  I know that windows 8 has a new function that allows a screen shot to be taken and saved directly to the user's computer and I need a button that can be placed on a slide and perform this function.  The shortcut is (windows key) + (print scrn).  I want to save my userss some time and just have a button perform this task.  Any idea on how I can make this possible? I am using Captivate 7.

    I think Ajit may have misunderstood your need.  The command he told you about triggers the Print command to allow you to print the currently active slide (on a laser or inkjet printer). This does not have the same result as you would get by hitting the PrintScreen button on your keyboard (to take a screencapture and have it saved to the Clipboard for pasting somewhere else).
    You can add a button to your slide and set the PrintScreen key as the shortcut, but this will NOT mean that clicking the button will cause a screencapture to be taken.
    There are JavaScript libraries that will allow you to execute JavaScript code in a Captivate project that can take a screen capture:
    https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/wiki/Screen-Capture
    However, to implement these solutions you would need to be quite knowledgeable with setting up JavaScript.  It's not for newbies.

  • Can I create a VI that will allow me to choose whether I should record results or not in Teststand?

    I've created a front panel that consists of booleans. When one is chosen it will open a different subsequence in Teststand, and then walk the user through the appropriate test.
    The problem is, what if the user hits the wrong button and decides he doesn't want to run the test which opened. He can cancel out, but the results for the test are recorded (usually failing, because the default values are present). This, then, causes the entire test to fail.
    Is there any way I can place a button in a VI like 'exit, do not record results' along with the current 'exit and record results' button I have now?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Dave Neumann

    Hi,
    Find attached a VI (LV6.1) that will disable the results.
    You will need to call the DisableResults again passing False to enable the results during your execution.
    But I believe once your Step has executed you cannot then disable the Results for that step. The only way is to remove the result from the ResultList.
    (see example sequence2.seq).

  • How can I make a button that will work on iPads? (animate only on Mousedown)

    I am making an interactive page in Adobe Edge Animate. It will double as a low-mem website and also as an iPad page and is part of a larger flash website which is highly animated.
    This website sports two kinds of buttons; the ones linking to a label in the timeline and the ones linking to a URL.
    The problem is that I do not want the buttons to work on mouseover because that will be completely useless on iPads and similar devices. That is why I want the thing to animate on mousedown.
    What I did initially was to load the on and off states of the button to my timeline and made them into a symbol, after that I made two labels inside of that symbol; one for the on state and one for the off state. Below the first label there is a "sym.stop("ONstate");" action  and then my off-state button graphic has a mousedown "sym.stop("skipON");" action. Then comes the tricky part, I wanted to reference the label on which it should land in a onclick action on a root level. It didn't work at all. I used "_root.stop("label");". As you can see my programming abilities are extremely poor, I'm a graphics guy.
    Next, I decided to leave the mousedown action inside the symbol and do the onclick action on the main timeline, which did work for the most part, however it behaved weirdly. First off, the mousedown action worked perfectly, but not at the same time with the onclick action; You would click on the mousedown thing and it would stop on the frame and then you would need to click it a second time to go to the label.
    There must be either something  I'm doing wrong or this function is not supported by the Edge Animate beta. But my programming abilities are so poor to pinpoint the real cause of the problem.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi, redcrowdesign-
    Part of the problem is that you're using ActionScript syntax in a JavaScript environment.  Instead of using _root, you can access the Stage object.  If your symbol is only one level down, you can use sym.getParentSymbol().stop("label");.  If you have a nested symbol, you may find sym.getComposition().getStage().stop("label"); more effective.
    That being said, you might want to rethink your UI model and focus your iPad interactions on the touch events, which are much more performant than the mouse events.
    Hope that helps,
