A self running lesson and a chapter navigation option in the same file

My client has asked if their lesson can have a branching option at the very beginning that allows the learner to watch the entire lesson without having to click a next button or experience pauses between chapters or modules and a second option to select a TOC type screen where they can choose the specific chapter they wish to watch and then when the chapter is finished, the learner can choose to continue to the next chapter or back to the TOC screen.
I understand that I can create that branching scenario, but in my version, I would be replicating the entire lesson (about 140 slides) to create the two paths, one path with the pause/navigation for the chapters and one without.
Is there a better way to accomplish this style of navigation and keep the file as small as possible?  My Java skills are at a beginner level, so please include specifics if the solution will use Java.
Thanks for your help and ideas.

You can achieve this using variables and Conditional Advanced Actions in Captivate.  But it would not be a job for a Captivate beginner.
You need to use the branching slide to set the value of a variable that indicates the user's choice of whether to watch all content or use the menu slide.  Then you need to use Conditional Advanced Actions triggered by ON SLIDE ENTER events to skip certain slides and play others.  You'll also need to set up the Menu slide and again use variables and Conditional Advanced Actions to return users to it after completing sections.
If you are unfamiliar with these concepts, I recommend you watch the tutorials on this site: http://lilybiri.posterous.com/
Like I said, it's not a task for a beginner.

    How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook?  I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.  The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • Pick a particular file and keep on target side with the same file name

    Hi Guys,
    I have got couple of files in a folder. I need to pick only two files, I have setup BPM procedure 2 payloads merge. To keep these merged file with  the same source filename.
    Source side file Directory

    xxx12345.xml
    test.xml

    Target Side, How do I keep with the same file name?
    abc_12345_20100408111239.xml ---  same file name with diffrent timestamp.

    Hi,
    One more question: How to setup a file adapter to trigger between 2:00am to 5:00 am? in a particular time
    For this you can Availability time planning (i.e you can schedule the file adapter to poll for the files with in the time interval i.e 2 -5)...
    for generating the file name at target side you need to look for the Dynamic Configuration as you need to change the timestamp for the file..and i am not sure how this works in BPM..
    in normal scenarios dynamic configuration will help....

  • Fail to download file with explorer 10 while explorer 9 and other browsers succeed to download the same file

    I try to download file from management website of switch device. The file size is 11.66K.
    The webserver is GoAhead, OS is windows7 and explorer version is 10 (it also happens with explorer 11). The server is using Transfer-Encoding: chunked.
    After I download the file, I get pop-up message from the browser “Do you want to open or save running-config.txt from 1.1.1.11?”
    If I press the save/open button I get message “running-config .txt couldn’t be downloaded”. If I press the retry button the file is downloaded successfully.
    When I used meddler to debug the problem, it didn’t occur and the file was downloaded successfully.
    I took capture of successful download (with meddler debugger) and  another capture of download that raised “couldn’t be downloaded” message, but I didn’t see any difference between the requests and the responses. I also made sure the last chunk
    “0” was not missing in the response and it wasn’t.
    Please note, I also tried many suggestions given to other users that reported similar problem – restart explorer, remove add-ons, etc – nothing worked!
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Did  this issue occur on when you download file from other website?
    This problem occurs if the Do not save encrypted pages to disk option in Internet Explorer is selected.
    To fix this issue, try these methods:
    Methods 1
    On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, click the
    Advanced tab, click to clear the check mark from the Do not save encrypted pages to disk check box in the
    Security area, and then click OK. (This is the default Internet Explorer setting.)
    Methods 2
    1.Start Registry Editor.
    2.For a per-user setting, locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
    For a per-computer setting, locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
    3.On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following value:
    "BypassSSLNoCacheCheck"=Dword:00000001
    4.Exit Registry Editor

  • Will running older and newer versions of iPods on the same PC cause prblems

    My daughter has a 60g video iPod which works ok with V6 iTunes. I have just purchased a 30g which requires V7 iTunes to work. She has seen the forums and is worried that if I upgrade it will cause probs - possibly even losing her music. Is she correct to be worried?
    We have seperate admin accounts on the pc. Is it possible to run V6 for her and V7 for me? If not should I back-up her music and libraries - how do I do this?
    Thanks
    Guy

    You only have one version of iTunes installed. If the iTunes upgrade goes alright, mine did, everything in old version will transfer and be available in new version.
    Backup method depends on what you have available. You can use CDs, DVDs, or another hard drive. Make sure you copy the itunes.itl file for each account. This is the actual 'library' file that contains playlists, playcounts, subscriptions, etc.

  • I'm trying to play an .mp4 video, but it does not display smoothly; image is jumpy.  The sound is fine, but the image starts and stops.  When I play the same file in WMV, displays just fine.

    Any suggestions on what I can try to clear this up?  Videos that I have downloaded through iTunes work just fine.  I don't know how to troubleshoot this file to see what is causing the issue.

    Ok then tell me this what is that DVD your having problem watching then? And what Region Code are you from like Euro is Region 2 and so on??? Could be the Region problem on the DVD doesn't match your drive Region as well?

  • Using Illustrator CS and being able to open the same file on two machines!

    Hi,
    Don't know if anybody can help?
    I have been using macs for many years and now we have moved over to windows!
    We are using a server (not sure which type? NT?) and we have found that with the Mac you could not have two users in the same file but with Windows I can be in an Illustrator file and a colleague can also open the same file - no error message comes up or anything! We can then both do changes in that file and the last to save has the updated file.
    Can we do anything so you get a error message for the second user?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Carole

    Hi,
    this does not make sense? Its the SAME version of Illustrator as that was on the Mac but when working on the PC you can both be in the file. On the Mac you get an error message saying the file is already open and you cannot access it.
    This must be a Windows issue or a Server issue as the problem is not on the Mac?

  • How can I save my data and the date,the time into the same file when I run this VI at different times?

    I use a translation stage for the experiment.For each user in the lab the stage position (to start an experiment) is different.I defined one end of the stage as zero. I want to save the position , date and time of the stage with respect to zero.I want all these in one file, nd everytime I run it it should save to the same file, like this:
    2/12/03 16:04 13567
    2/13/03 10:15 35678
    So I will track the position from day to day.If naybody helps, I appreciate it.Thanks.

    Hi,
    I know the function "write to spreadsheet file.vi"
    can append the data
    to file. You can use the "concatenate strings" to display the date,
    time as well as data... Hope this help.

  • How can I do to acquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI without interrupti​on.

    I've attached a VI that I am using to acquire amplitude from Spectrum analyzerse. I tried to connect amplitude ouput to the VI Write Characters To File.vi and Write to Spreadsheet File.vi. Unfortunately when I run continual this VI without interruption, labview ask me many time to enter a new file name to save a new value.
    So, How can I do to aquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI for example during 10 min.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Your VI does work perfectly. Unfortunately this not what I want to do. I've made error in my last comment. I am so sorry for this.
    So I explain to you again what I want to do exactly. I want to acquire amplitude along road by my vehicle. I want to use wheel signal coming from vehicle to measure distance along road. Then I acquire 1 amplitude each 60 inches from spectrum analyzer.
    I acquire from PC parallel port a coded wheel signal coming from vehicle (each period of the signal corresponds to 12 Inches). Figure attached shows the numeric signal coming from vehicle, and the corresponding values “120” and “88” that I can read from In Port vi.
    So I want to acquire 1 time amplitude from spectrum analyser each 5
    period of the signal that I am acquiring from parallel port.
    So fist I have to find how can I count the number of period from reading the values “120” and “88” that I am acquiring from In Port (I don’t know the way to count a number of period from reading values “120” and “88”).
    Here is a new algorithm.
    1) i=0 (counter: number of period)
    2) I read value from In Port
    3) If I acquire a period
    i= i+1 (another period)
    4) If i is multiple of 5 (If I read 5 period)
    acquire 1 time amplitude and write to the same
    file this amplitude and the corresponding distance
    Distance = 12*i). Remember each period of signal
    Corresponds to 12 Inches).i has to take these
    values: 5,10,15,20,25,35,40,45,50,55,60............
    5) Back to 2 if not stop.
    Thank you very much for helping me.

    No printing :I can't print anymore, printing the same file with another program is ok, printing form LR (in the same system and printer of course :-) ): Preparing  and Printing indicatorbar in the left hand upper corner are running and completing, but no output at all to my printer. I have been printing before. Next I upgraded to LR5.7.1 but the problem stays. Perhaps some adjustment is changed by me unintentionally, but I have no idea. Does anybody know what to check? Printing to file is also strange,the canvas only seems to accept A4, and crops any image relative to that size, so a 10x15 cm print on 10 x 15 cm paper is cropped to 10x15/2. Anybody any idea? (system win 8.1 64, printer HP B8550)

    I accidentally solved my mystery.  For some reason it was set to "print to file".  I changed it to "printer" and now I am able to print.

  • Can i run UDP  client and UDP  server socket program in the same pc ?

    hi all.
    when i execute my UDP client socket program and UDP server socket program in the same pc ,
    It's will shown the error msg :
    "Address already in use: Cannot bind"
    but if i run UDP client socket program in the remote pc and UDP server socket program run in local pc , it's will success.
    anybody know what's going on ?
    any help will be appreciated !

    bobby92 wrote:
    i have use a specified port for UDP server side , and for client define the server port "DatagramSocket clientSocket= new DatagramSocket(Server_PORT);"Why? The port you provide here is not the target port. It's the local port you listen on. That's only necessary when you want other hosts to connect to you (i.e. when you're acting as a server).
    The server should be using that constructor, the client should not be specifying a port.
    so when i start the udp server code to listen in local pc , then when i start UDP client code in local pc ,i will get the error "Address already in use: Cannot bind"Because your client tries to bind to the same port that the server already bound to.
