Add JavaScript to boxes and buttons

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/captivate/cp/using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119e9581edd-7feb.h tml

This article is talking about a click box object in Captivate, not a text caption. Clickboxes and buttons in Cp are interactive objects that can be used to trigger Advanced Actions, one of which is to execute JavaScript code.
You CAN make a text caption clickable by attaching an Event Handler widget to it. This effectively turns the text caption into an interactive object capable of executing Advanced Actions in response to mouse events. However, there is no Advanced Action that will turn your text caption into a scrolling caption.

Problem with action script 3 make input text box and button....

Hi every one I am trying to make a family book using "Air for Android" with a simple search engin in the book
air for android only work with AS3,
the search function is to type a person's name and hit submit then go to a specific frame.
have a problem making below code to work in AS3 and hopefully one of you guys can lead me in the right direction to fix the issue.
Currently, I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame.
(it work find in AS2 but not in AS3,)
Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function () {
    submit.onRelease = function() {
        switch (yourname.text) {
        case "name1" :
            gotoAndStop(2);
            break;
        case "name2" :
            gotoAndStop(3);
            break;
My button that checks if the phrase is correct is called "submit" and my input box has an instance of "yourname".
My phrases that will be accepted in the input box are "name1" and "name2" which bring me to two different frames.
Basically, I'm having a problem with making this to work with AS3.

you should use the default option in the switch statement
that way yourname contains something not in one of the case statements it will go to the default bit and execute teh code there
function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void
                              switch (yourname.text)
                                        case "name1":
                                                  gotoAndStop(2);
                                                  break;
                                        case "name2":
                                                  gotoAndStop(3);
                                                  break;
                                        default:
                                                  goToAndStop(you frame you want);
                                        break;

Button, Javascript Confirm Box and Process

I have a button on a page. When someone click on the button, depends on the value on a item, if it's not null, then pop up a confirmation box, if the item is null, the call a process directly. If the confimation is true, then call the same process, otherwise page won't be to submitted.
I' m still on version 1.6.
Anyone could give me some help?
million thanks!

Thans for the reply.
Here is what I did:
I created another item called itemB. And put a javascript function on the HTML Header. And put a image button and use onclick to trigger the function. Based on the confirm is true or false, the javascript will set the itemB to two different values. And the process will run based on the value of the itemB. It seems to work sometimes, but not always. I don't know if I am missing anything or maybe it's not a right way to do it. Could someone take a look for me. Here is the javascipt.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function checkMissing(formItem,formItem2)
var t1 = document.getElementById(formItem).value;
if (t1 != null)
conmod = confirm("There is/missing parts, Do you wnat to continue to close the seesion?");
if (conmod == true)
   document.getElementById(formItem2).value = "CLOSE";
   doSubmit();
else if (conmod == false)
    document.getElementById(formItem2).value = 0;
else
   document.getElementById(formItem2).value = "CLOSE";
   doSubmit();
</script>

Newb deserving assistance with Adobe Javascript (check boxes and combo boxes)

Hi, I'm a newb when it comes to javascript (using adobe acrobat pro 6.0).
I am working on a form that will allow me to autofill checkboxes based off of information chosen. Ideally, I would like to have a selection from a combo box autofill/auto checkmark check boxes. Alternatively, I would be willing to just have different selections presented with check boxes that when filled, would auto checkmark other check boxes (I know how to do this one, but I am not sure how to clear the check boxes if the initial one is unchecked).
I have the action button tied to the mouse up function. This just errors out.
var Citrix = this.getField("Citrix")
var Appro = this.getField("Appro")
var SAS = this.getField("SAS")
if (event.target.value=="Yes") {
Citrix.checkThisBox = true
Appro.checkThisBox = true
SAS.checkThisBox = true
else {
Citrix.checkThisBox = false
Appro.checkThisBox = false
SAS.checkThisBox = false
I have this that works, but I don't know how to clear the buttons when "Associate" is unchecked.
if(this.getField("Associate").isBoxChecked(0));
this.getField("Citrix").checkThisBox(0, true);
this.getField("Appro").checkThisBox(0, true);
this.getField("SAS").checkThisBox(0, true);
The other way I was working on it, was to use a combo box to autofill/checkmark check boxes. But this code doesn't work either.
function calculateTextField()
// get the value of the combo box
var comboValue = this.getField("Select").value;
// get the state of the checkbox
var isChecked = (this.getField("Citrix").value == "Yes");
var textFieldValue = "";
console.println(comboValue);
if (isChecked)
if (comboValue == 0)
textFieldValue = "";
if (comboValue == "Associate")
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "Yes");
else if (comboValue == "Specialist")
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "Yes");
else if (comboValue == "Team Leader")
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "No");
else
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "No");
else
textFieldValue = "";
this.getField("Select").value = textFieldValue;
Can anyone please assist me with this?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Gene,
Thank you for the response. Are you saying that my initial formula should look more like this; ?
var Citrix = this.getField("Citrix")
var Appro = this.getField("Appro")
var SAS = this.getField("SAS")
if (event.target.value=="Yes") {
Citrix.checkThisBox = true
Appro.checkThisBox = true
SAS.checkThisBox = true
else {
if (event.target.value=="Off")
Citrix.checkThisBox = true
Appro.checkThisBox = true
SAS.checkThisBox = true
Thanks,
Chris

Click boxes and buttons not working in Captivate 3 published projects

I really, really, hope that someone can help me...
we are migrating from Centra/Saba LMS to Connect Pro LMS and while taking our "old" SCORM projects and posting them to the Connect Pro server we have encountered an issue...and the reason it's very hard to trouble shoot is that it's not all of the projects....??
Once a project is pulished none of the buttons or click boxes are working - for instance we use a play button on the frist slide for students to enter the course - you click it nothing happens (except when you mouse over the button it does change color)...same with the click boxes - I can use the progress bar to move froward but anything I click just doesn't respond...
Has anyone encountered this? and I hope know something we can do?
THANKS SO MUCH,
Jen

Do your published projects work outside of your LMS?
Or is it just inside the new LMS that it isn't working?
Usually buttons and click boxes not working is because your slides are pausing before the button becomes active.
What version of Captivate and Flash are you using?

ALV with check boxs and buttons

Hi guys,
It's been a while since last time I used ALV and its options.
I have a requirement to show many records in ALV format. each record starts with a check box, user can choose which record by checking each and click on a button to merge them (those record contain text). Everything should show up on ALV screen. Any idea what how should I do that??
I think I should use screen painter but I have no idea how to implement that...

Print widget makes answer box and buttons disappear when clicked

I've tried two print widgets so far
1. the widget that comes standard with Captivate 4 and
2. the one posted here http://forums.adobe.com/message/1937195 by a community member.
Issues:
1. standard print widget - once the user has typed in their answer (on a short answer question slide) and presses the print widget icon the preview bar shows up and makes the answer box disappear as well as the buttons on the page. So yes, they can print that slide but then there's no way for them to move forward to the next question, answer it and print again etc.
2. the print widget created by the community member in the thread linked above makes the answer box disappear entirely. The user can't even answer the question.
In both instances I can't "bring to front" because they're placed on question slides and the option is greyed out. I don't know what to do at this point but I REALLY REALLY need the print function to work for these courses.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aarti

How to delete an xml list from the data grid using the check box and button

i am using an XMLList as the dataprovider for the dataGrid,
there i have a checkbox for each row, i need to delete the row for
which the checkbox is selected with the help of a delete
button.

Your checkbox must update a property of the dataProvider when
checked. You can then loop through the XMLList, checking that
property. when you find it use the "delete" operator on the found
node.

Captivate 4 crashes when I try to add a click box to a slide

I know this is not an advanced functionality but it's certainly an agressive bug. I have created several movies using the Clickbox button to add boxes to my slides with no problem, but I have one Captive 4 file that crashes every time I click on the Clickbox tool or try to paste a Clickbox from another movie. The problem file was created in the same resolution and using the same techniques as the non-problematic files. Any ideas as to what could be causing this or am I stuck with a corrupt file I need to reshoot?
Thanks!
Joyce

Hi there
It could be that your project has become corrupt. In that case you might be able to recover by opening a second instance of Captivate and creating a new blank project using the same resolution as the problem one. Then copy slides from the problem project and pasting into the new blank one.
Just a side note. You seem to be confusing Click Boxes and Buttons. These are two distinctly different objects. Click Boxes operate nearly the same way as Buttons. They are invisible by their very nature.
Cheers... Rick

I am web developer and I found that safari latest version 8.0 donot support tabindex for input type radio, checkbox and button.,

Hi,
I am using safari 8.0 on latest mac system. I am web developer. My website do not support keyboard tab button for some of html controls for safari 8.0. I have apply tab index for these controls( input type="radio" ,check box and button tag).
Please help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks

Post a link to your webform with these controls
I am unable to test on Safari 8.x, but have you tried changing the UserAgent from the Developers Tools menu? My UserAgentSwitcher for Firefox only goes up to 7.xx Mavericks, but Safari's should be backwards 'compatible' a very long way.
I am unsure whether you cannot TAB between these controls (normal browser behavior) or whether you have some special code that "SELECTS" each control as you go through them? The latter seems unworkable for any scenario I can imagine - if I want to select something I have brought into focus, the normal action would be to press the ENTER key while control or link is focused, then TAB on through choices to the next selection to be made
Please clarify what exactly the problem is (for *me* at least)

Add javascript to Out of the box Modal Dialogue Box in Sharepoint 2010.

Hi,
We have Sharepoint and Project Server 2010 SP-2 enviroment. We are using Project Server Timesheet for our managing Time logging.
Project Server 2010 has "Add existing task" Modal Dialogue box in which I want to add "Javascript" code in order to sort the Project Server Timesheet Line Claasification listbox control in Ascending order.
As you can see from below screenshot "Standard" the Out of the box timesheet line classification is coming at top and then our custom line classification coming.
But I want to sort this list in ascending order so that this "Standard line classification can come at the bottom of the listbox control.
Please suggest me how can I achieve this.
Thanks much !!!

Thanks SaiRam from input, I can get JQuery for sorting the control over the internet no issue. I have to pass the ControlId in J-Query to sor the items in that control and I am not able to get the control id as it;s modalk dialogue box.
Can you please explain further here, also let me know in case I am wrong in my understanding.

Check Boxes and Javascripts

I have a form where there is a table, and inside the table is a row for a Check box for “Sub to Sub”, a row for Work performed by Sub-Contractor Description, a row for Original $$ Amount, and a row for Final $$ Amount Paid. The Original Amount and Final Amount Paid totals up at the bottom of the page.
The user would like to have it set that if the Sub-Contractor selects a check box under “Sub to Sub” row, the dollar amount that is entered for the Original Amount and Final Amount Paid for that row does not add into the Total amounts at the bottom of the page.
Is it possible to write a Javascript for this and if so, what would it be?

Okay. I put it in the first calculated script which is the total for Original Amount (OA1). The checkboxes are named Checkbox1.1, Checkbox1.2, etc. But it's not calculating at all. Any suggestions?
(function () {
    var f1 = this.getField("OA1");
    var a1 = f1.getArray();
    // Get the "Sub to Sub" check boxes
    var a2 = getField("CheckBox1").getArray();
    var sum = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < a1.length; i++) {
        // Only add the value if the check box is not selected
        if (a2[i].value === "Off") {
            sum += +a1[i].value;
    if (sum != 0) {
        event.value = sum;
    } else {
        event.value = ""

How to add a single check box and a label to a image in Muse?

Hello!
I need help with adding a check box with a label to the right of it. I know about the forms, and how you can add a check box there but i don't need all the other form options.

Hi
It is not possible to use only checkbox from a form at the moment. An alternate way could be inserting it using html, something like below
<input type="checkbox" name="Muse" value="Muse"> A sample checkbox<br>
I am not sure what exactly you are trying to achieve, but this will work with Form tag only, like in the example here
Tryit Editor v2.5
Do let me know if you have any question.
