Accordion widget and audio

Using CP 7, I am trying the accordion widget for the first time, and I have it working rather nicely. Then I added audio to each of the options, to accompany the text that is revealed when the option is chosen, so that as each option is selected, and its text appears, the specific audio would play. That makes sense and that is how I would expect it to work. However, as soon as the screen loads one audio plays, and none of the audio clips play when their option is chosen.
Is this really the way it works? I would expect no audio until the user clicks one of the options, and then that audio would play. The way it is working for me makes no sense. Why have an audio icon for each content area (under each accordion option) if they don't play when the user opens that option?
As I created content for each of the options, I added an audio clip, using the audio icon specific to each accordion option. But it appears that only one audio is being used for the entire accordion.
I read through the string about problems with audio and the accordion, but that issue was different from this.
The way this is working now is not acceptable, and I will need to throw away everything I have done so far and start over if I can't make this work.

I just tried it in Windows with exactly the same behavior.
Can someone confirm how this is supposed to work? Logically, when a user selects one of the accordion options, and the option expands to show the text within it, then the associated audio should play. In the image below, you see the audio icon associated with the content for one option. However, in the documentation I found it is very vague about what the audio is assicated with. If the audio is just associated with the entire object, then the interface below is misleading at best.

Tabbed widget and audio

I've created a tabbed widget with definitions for three separate functions. My intent is to have the user click each tab to hear/see the specified definition. My problem is that the slide progresses at the end of the slide audio (this adio explains how to use the page) and doesn't allow time to click the tabs; do I have to time the slide really long in order to get this to work or is there something I can add to the slide so that it doesn't move forward. The click box renders the widget unusable and simply progresses the slide so that didn't work for me, unless someone knows of another way to use this??? Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!
I just added a button to go to the next slide but now the tabs go to the next slide when I publish and in the preview, does this mean I can't have more than one widget on a slide? I'm thinking it does.

Can I place a (Rectangle Tool) container filled with an image in an (Accordion) widget and make it clickable?

Is it possible to use the Rectangle Tool to create a container, fill the container with a graphic image, place the container and image in an Accordion widget space and make the container clickable to open and close the Accordion?
I've done this but the container isn't clickable, only the other areas of the Accordion window are. Can this be done?

You can use the image as fill for label of accordion which will open the container on click.
If this does not answer your question then please provide me an example where I can see what exactly you are trying to achieve.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Accordion widget and pages

Hi
I've got a website in which i've got an accordion widget of all the pages.
When i click on a part of the accordion, it displays the correct page, but the accordion resets by itself when the requested page is loaded.
Would it be possible to stop it from resetting itself (when i change the page) ?

Merci Brad.

Youtube widget and audio widget crashes gmail

Hi -
I have my site as a business catalyst site - and on some machines, it crashes gmail when I open youtubes or the audio widget I bought from Musegrid.
Has anyone had this happen? And perhaps when I host from GoDaddy or sim, this problem will go away?
Thanks -

Hi
Please share the site url and exact steps you are taking to replicate the issue.
It should not crash any other browser site.

Open an accordion widget in the closed state?

I have searched the forums but have yet to find a resolution
for this issue. I am using an accordion widget and would like for
all of my panels to appear closed when the page initially loads.
Only once the user has clicked the tab do I want the panels to
open. Any suggestions that do not require me to buy a separate plug
in? Thanks.

This is directly from the Adobe documentation:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/accordion/AccordionSample.html#AllPanelsCl osed
However, one thing to keep in mind is that this is assuming
that you are using the 1.6.1 update (as that is what the references
refer to). If you have never updated your Spry this would be a good
opportunity to do so. The below is the to the official Spry
homepage. There you will find the update package which includes
some samples and an Extension. Install the extension and restart
DW. Then under the Sites menu you will see a new option to update
Spry. Run that script and your Spry will be updated. Also on that
homepage is a link to the official Spry forums:

Accordion widget

Hello!
I have a question, why not work accordion widgets and thumbnails when I upload it via FTP to my server?
Already contacted my hosting provider asking if they had the solution, I gave my directory permissions and widgets do not work.
another thing, when I open my page from any IOS images that has the project are moved around!
please help!
thanks!
Greetings!

I see not all the files are uploaded on the server that is why you are facing this issue. Please try to export the html to a different folder and then use an ftp client like filezilla to upload it and let me know how that goes.

Yet both pages have identical code (with absolute links to the CSS and JS files).
Can anyone shed some light on a solution?

Error When Adding Audio to Accordion Widget

I am trying to utilize the accordion widget that comes with Adobe Captivate 7. In the Widget Properties, you can add audio to the description under each tab. When I go to select a narrated audio file (that was recorded using Adobe Captivate) from the library, I get this error message stating I have "selected the wrong file type...". Has anyone encountered this? What other audio file types can be added?

I have similar bizarre behvior with the accordion widget.
I record my audio in Adobe Audition and then import to Captivate. However, when I did this with the widget the audio did not work. I discovered that if I edit the audio in the library, after I import it, it no longer works in the widget. Editing audio works fine everywhere else in Captivate.
Even more bizarre, I edited an MP3 in Audition, that had been working in the widget. I deleted the current, working, audio from the widget option, then imported the new one, but got the error This is the Wrong File Type. This happened on multiple edited MP3 files.
So, I went back to Audition, and rather than saving the edited MP3, I re-exported it to another MP3 file, and this one imports into the widget.

Problem with accordion widget flashing open and shut when page loads

why is it that my accordion widget flashes open and shut when the page is loading (see http://vincentballmusewebsite2013test.businesscatalyst.com/digital-illustration.html#.UVDr Ehx7JyII) have tried everything to solve this, and Adobes customer service is terrible they don't get back to you when they say they will.
Please help me someone,
Thanks

Thank you Zak for your help, I spent 5 hours going round in circles trying to fix that problem and that's all I needed to hear, a bit of honesty and integrity.and yes, Adobes terrible customer service has still not got back to after promising 2 level technical support to contact me last Monday, I wish there'd keep their promise
Pamela, did you try my test website or my own website and if so my own has now no accordion widget on it and my test website may need you to try loading a few times to see if it really works or not, sometimes it does actually work even on a pc but most times not.
thanks for you help too.

Spry Accordion Widget hiccups and more

Hi, I am using the Spry Accordion Widget on my website and have the following problems:
1. Is there a way for the accordion movement not to affect the images that are placed below it. For example, I have the accordion placed on top of 3 different logos. Whenever, the accordion panels move up and down (in use) all the contents (below the accordion) moves with it. I don't want the logos to move up and down whenever someone clicks on the panels. How do I make the logos stationary so its placements won't change?
I don't want to use an ap div tag because that would force my website to be in a fix position on a page. All I have been using to position my graphics are div tags and floats; no ap div tags. If you resize the browser window you will see that my website is somewhat elastic. Meaning, the graphics are always in the center of the page regardless of the size of the browser window—this is something I want to keep.
Please go here for better understanding: http://meinaco.net/tblLists.html
2. When one of the accordion tab is clicked there seems to be some kind of hiccup/jump/jerky (up and down movement) before it settles/stops. Is there a way to fix that? I noticed the accordion moves up and down smoothly prior to my inserting the images into the tab panels. To be clear, the images I am referring to are the brown horizontal lines with white words on a green background. Do these images have anything to do with this problem?
3. When the 1st tab (the restaurant panel) is open and another tab is selected, the restaurant panel displays large incorrectly styled text for a brief second as it closes to allow the other panel to open. I know it has something to do with my style sheet but I can't figure out what is causing it. I checked my css files and it seems they all have the correct size. To see this problem reoccur please do the following:
Make sure the restaurant panel is open then click on another panel (one of the 3 panels). As you click on the second panel pay attention to the text that sits inside the restaurant panel. You will see that large minus leading text will appear for a split second.
4. When I run my webpage (url mentioned above) on Safari 4.0.3 there seems to be a blue line outlining the whole accordion widget. This outline doesn't exist on Firefox nor on Opera. Please see attached image for clarity.
Any suggestions or help on any of these problems is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
Meina
I hope someone can help me resolve or give me suggestions for the 1st and 2nd problems at the very least.

Tabbed and accordion widgets not working after latest export.

The accordion widget was working on the sites I built, but now when I export the sites after changes, the accordion and tabbed panels don't work.
The link below shows the old accordion and the new one I was placed from Muse.
http://www.thresholddrain.co.nz/newsite/faqs.html
I don't have time to redo every accordion and tab on the site. Any ideas why it is not working and what I can do to fix it.
Thank you,
Ana

I'll check that error message out when I get home, but for now, you could try adding this to your .xinitrc instead:
setxkbmap -option caps:escape
This helped. Thanks!

Or maybe try setting by keycode rather than keysym in .Xmodmap. e.g.,
clear Lock
keycode 0x42 = Escape
(I think you'll need to use xev to find out what keycode your escape key is though.)
This one didn't work though. I tried removing the clear Lock line, and I don't get any errors. But then it doesn't work properly.

Unordered list bullets and Spry Accordion widget

In all browsers except IE (surprise, surprise!), the page
works fine. Otherwise the bullets in my unordered list appear at
the bottom of the multiline text they are associated with. I
haven't had this problem in similar pages not using the accordion
widget.

Enlarge accordion widget maintain image proportions and resolution

I am trying to enlarge an accordion widget. When I do, the image distorts.
Is there a way to override this? If so, do I need to maintain widget proportions or can I scale it to fit my screens' aspect ratio?
Thank,
jz

Lilybiri,
I'm attaching a screen shot. In this image, the widget is enlarged with proportions constrained.
Text is okay. The image is the problem. It is no longer distorted (turns out I had the wrong aspect ratio). But it is still pixelated. This is in the SWF Preview mode.
As 150 x 100 was losing resolution, I saved file as 300 x 200. Aspect ratio is okay but ideas on fixing resolution?
