Phantom Play Button Appearing in middle of first slide

I have a Play button appearing in the middle of my first slide and cannot figure out where it is coming from.  I
do not have any selections made for a control panel .  Here is a capture of what I am getting.  Anyone else have this problem?  I really need help on this one.  Never saw it before.

Hi there
You may believe it to be a "Phantom", but the odds are you actually told it to be there.
Try clicking Edit > Preferences > Project > Start and End.
My money is betting that you have cleared the "Auto Play" check box at the top of that screen.
Cheers... Rick

  • Just upgraded to an iPod touch 5th generation. I've noticed that the device wont stream videos online As my last device did. The play button appears, i tap it, the video loads, it begins playing, then stops around 2 minutes in. It is NOT my Internet.

    Like i said, the iPod is brand new. It works great in all aspects. But I frequently watch movies online with my iPod. Since i have upgraded to the fifth generation, this is almost impossible. The video begins to play and then freezes as if it is buffering. But the video never plays again. It is impossible for me to use my movie site to watch movies anymore and i am very disappointed.

    Sounfs like a network problem.
    Try
    - When connected to another network          
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • Can you make buttons appear "on success" on quiz slide?

    I'm not an expert Captivate user and don't know Javascript, so please excuse my ignorance if this question seems strange.
    I have a Captivate 6 project with several quiz slides peppered throughout the entire file. In other words, the quiz slides are not grouped together. Each slide, including the quiz slides, has a forward button and a back button.
    I would like for users to move forward and backward through the presentation in a linear fashion as they like, and this is working well. However, it would be nice if users weren't able to skip answering the quiz questions. I would like the buttons to appear after the user has answered the quiz question correctly, and then I would like the buttons to stay on the slide thereafter.
    Is this possible? Do you have a Javascript resource I could use for the "on success" action, or what other solutions do you recommend?
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    When you are talking about the default buttons Back and Next that you find on question slides, you don't have much control over them. As you probably did see they do not even appear as separate objects on the timeline. And I doubt that Javascript could realize what you want.
    Try first to understand how the work flow of question slides is designed:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
    You can drag the Next button under the Clear button (see blog post), normally Next during a Quiz is not needed, since the second step (Press Y or click on the slide) will move to the next slide.
    However the Back button is a more tricky button if you really want to have it. Maybe, didn't check it out, try to hide the back button to the user (make it transparent without a stroke) and have an image appear on top of that button after the first step on the question slide. The invisible Back under the image will remain active, it even has absolute priority over other objects.

  • Skin - Play button in center of first slide

    On Captivate presentations created by by predecessor, a round "Play" button appeared in the center of the first slide as part of the applied skin. I'm using the same skin in Captivate 5, but do not get the play button on the first slide.
    Is there a setting I am missing?

    Hi there
    Try editing the preferences. Press Shift+F8. Then click Project > Start and End.
    My guess is that Auto Play is enabled and needs to be DE-selected as shown below.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Responsive Project & On-Screen Play Button

    Hello,
    I'm starting to play around with the responsive projects with Captivate 8.  I've produced a couple of sample projects (with different themes) but have an odd issue with the play button on the first slide:
    The project plays well enough but that play button in the middle doesn't way to go away.  I've searched the net and this forum with no luck.  Anyone have any ideas.  My phone is a HTC One.
    Thanks much!

    Hi There,
    While creating responsive project in Captivate 8, can you please check under Edit > Preferences > Project > Start and End > Auto Play is checked or unchecked.
    If it is unchecked then play button will appear in the beginning of your project.
    Regards,

  • Trying to create Large Play button on Flash CS4

    Hello,
    I am trying to create the following: (using someone elses post from another board)
    "I am wondering if there is a way to hide the FLVPlayback skin until a certain event happens. Let me explain.
    I have an instance of the flvplayback component in my movie. I have the player skin set to "autohide" and "autoplay" set to false. Instead of having users click on the play button of the skin to start the movie I have incorporated a larger play button in the middle of the screen. The set back here is that when a user mouses over the movie to click on the larger play button the flvplayback skin appears as well.
    I'd like to basically tell the skin "Hey don't appear on mouseover until AFTER the large play button is pressed." What code would I need for this in Actionscript 3?"
    I am curious if someone can teach how to embed a regular .swf movie file into the
    "example" code, which was also posted here
    (http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=323702)
    I have very limited coding skills and very much appreciate the assistance.
    Rod

    You are looking for the visible property I believe.
    At the beginning of your code, set:
    myFLVPlayer._visible = false;
    to set it invisible (replacing "myFLVPlayer" with your components name ocourse)
    Then, onRelease of your button, set:
    myFLVPlayer._visible = true;
    to make it visible again.
    EDIT
    I just looked at your code in the other forum, and here is your onRelease function fixed:
    video_mc.video._visible = false;
    video_mc.bigButton_mc.onRelease = function(){
    video_mc.bigButton_mc._visible = false;
    video_mc.video._visible = true;
    video_mc.video.play();

  • Why do I keep getting a white screen and just play button when previewing in browser? CP 7 and 8

    It doesn't matter what I try, I just keep getting a white screen show up with a play button in the middle. Once I have pressed the play button in the middle the rest of the slides play, this is not good - I need to ensure company logo is first thing users see.

    Hi
    Are you using chrome browser ?
    Chrome version 36 has some issues with captivate html5 output. Please find the following workaround for the issue.

  • Random Buttons Appearing in Preview and SWF file

    My love/hate relationship with Captivate continues, although it is trending quite a bit towards the latter.  Here's the issue:  I have created a presentation from a powerpoint and when I preview the project, about half of the "slides" have a random gray captivate button just sitting in the top left corner.  This button cannot be clicked.  Just appeared out of no where as no button was ever inserted.
    When I view the SWF file, the slides that had the button now have a light pink square in the top left of the screen.
    Can someone please explain these phantom buttons/images... and more importantly, how to remove them so I dont have to re-create a presentation that's well into 24hrs of creation.
    Thanks.

    Does this button appear randomly on half the slides in the project or only the latter half of the slides?
    If there is a particular slide where they seem to start appearing, check that slide and the one before it for any objects that might have been set to appear for Rest of Project but have been hidden on the timeline layers so that they are not visible in Edit mode.

  • Captivate 4 - Advanced Actions - Pause/Play buttons

    Hi - So I have created a 2 buttons - a pause and play - so my users can pause/play my captivate video (audio and actual slide). I have created my 2 variables for the buttons and I have created my advanced action. I'm assigning my pause to 'rdcmndPause', hide pause, show play. And I'm assigning play to 'rdcmndResume', hide play, show pause. It's not working. The pause/play buttons appear and disappear like they should - but my project isn't pausing or playing. Any thoughts?

    You can create and use Widgets for Adobe Captivate 4 in AS2 as well Mike.
    If you go to your Captivate Installation directory and find the "Gallery" folder and "Widgets" then you should be able to find some AS2 Widget Source files. Take a look at the "Flash Button" widget. This is a relatively simple widget and you can basically just use the code framework to make your own button widget.
    If your end users have low-end systems then it's probably safer to stay with AS2 and publish towards Flash Player 8.

  • "YouTube-style" Play button on video

    I've successfully published a video but whenever I try to
    embed it in an HTML page, the video plays immediately when I open
    the page. I would like to have the video stopped by default with a
    big, "YouTube-style" Play button in the middle of the screen that
    users could click to get things started. Did I miss a setting
    somewhere that allows me to do this?
    Thanks,
    Sterling

    Welcome to our community, Sterling
    To pause a Captivate slide, you insert a Click Box or a
    Button object. Either of those should normally stop the slide from
    advancing until your user clicks to allow play to resume.
    For the image, you may wish to fashion one that you
    superimpose on the slide and possibly allow some transparency.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Slideshow Does Not Start at First Slide

    Using Keynote '09, I recorded a voiceover for the third slide of a presentation. Now if I play the slideshow, the presentation will not start at slide one. (Yes, I select the first slide to begin. No go.) The presentation begins at the slide with the voiceover. If in Document Inspector I select "normal" or "self-playing," the show begins at the first slide, but there is no sound. When "Recorded" is selected, the voiceover plays, but the slideshow begins with the recorded slide. Any help appreciated.

    You're running the slideshow directly from an album or an Event, correct.  This has been a problem for a number of users and there's not been a fix discovered.
    Many found that creating the slideshow in the slideshow mode will eliminate that problem.
    Give us details.

  • For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

    Greetings Heather,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

  • ITunes won't play song, even though pause button appears

    Recently my iTunes has stopped playing songs. If I click the play button, the pause button appears but the progress bar does not move and no sound is made. The volume on my computer is fine as I can still watch videos on youtube and such. I've recently updated to the lastest iTunes and am not sure whether the songs played find after that or not. I read that it could be a probably with quicktime but I've deleted that and downloaded it again but that did not help.
    Please help me!

    I noticed today I am having the same problem. Song would not play in Ver. 9.1.0 and 9.1.1. Same song plays fine in another media player. Also seeing the same that al0022 is seeing, my play button changes to a pause button, and my progress bar does not move. I am able to navigate around iTunes until I try to play a song then I have to kill the task.
    I had a Windows update performed yesterday, and believe the windows update is the cause of the problem.
    Anyone else unable to play after Windows updates were performed?

  • I recently rented a movie, it downloaded successfully, but it won't play.  When I call up the movie, there is no play button, just what appears to be a stop button.  How do I access this movie, or get a refund?

    I recently rented a movie, it downloaded successfully, and it will not play.  When I call up the movie, there is no play button, just what appears to be a stop button.  How do I access this movie, or get a refund?

    As it says on the page that you posted from :
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Why it's like that I don't think that Apple have said (these are user-to-user forums). If you haven't downloaded it on your iPad then have you checked to see if you can download it on your computer's iTunes (Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option) or Apple TV ?
    If it doesn't show on either of them then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will let you download it on a different computer/device or refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

    Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

    Hello ckuan. Thx for your reply.
    The songs are not from iTunes, they are from CDs that I had copied to my itunes library.
    It is worth mentioning that I wasn't facing this issue before IOS 5.
