Adding a click box for a pop up on a quiz page

I would like to add a pop-up scenario review on a quiz page so that those doing the elearning can review the case history. I have the file saved as a pdf and it allows it to pop-up on other pages of the learning module but I can't figure out how to get this to work on a quiz page. This is the page I especially want them to have the information so that they can make an informed choice. Does anyone have a thought on how this can be done or what i need to do differently? Thanks

Hi Deb
This will be a bit on the cheesy side, but as your name infers you are from Wisconsin, that shouldn't be a big deal, no?
What you might do is to create a blank project sized at 100x100. Configure it with no preloader and no playback control. Then insert a Click Box that opens the PDF. Just insert the PDF file name and no path information. Publish that as a SWF.
Now return to the project where you want to open the PDF from a question slide. Insert the SWF as an animation object. Perhaps layer the area over an image of a PDF or some other trigger to clue the user they may click.
Give that a go and see if it works for you... Rick

What is Current, New, Parent and Top in Click Box for Open URL or File?

Hi,
I would like to know what is the definition for Current, New, Parent and Top options in the click box parameter if I want to open a file?
Regards,
Jac

Hi there
The only way I can fathom that happening would be if you had a hidden slide with a Click Box on it that was already configured. Then you would copy the Click Box object and paste it where you want it.
Other than that, sorry but the answer is that you can't.
You might wish to suggest this as an option that Captivate would offer. You would do this by filling out the Wish Form. (Link is in my sig line)
Cheers... Rick

Has anyone successfuly added the "like box" for Facebook (not the "like button")?

I've seen several discussions of this, and they either just trail off, or answer the question as it applies to the "like button" only.
If common Facebook Social Plugins don't work. Fine. It would be incredibly helpful if moderators, or Adobe staff could let us know. I've just started with Muse, but I have run across a few problems where other users have already asked the question I"m asking, but after a few vague suggestions the matters just seems to dead-end without resolution, one way or the other.
If I've missed a memo (its been known to happen) and Muse is still not out of beta and is unsupported, please ignore the above.
Cheers.

Thanks so much for the post.
I have compared the page source of your test page with mine and the code is identical. Yours works, (I successfuly pasted it into my site) and mine does not. It appears as a grey box with a blue HTML in design mode, and does not appear at all in preview in browser or uploaded.
There must be something about the facebook page, or its permissions that I have missed. I have opened up everything I could find. Is it possible the feature only works with paid facebook accounts?
I'm still working on the Facebook KB to see if there's a reason why the LikeBox paste is not working.
Thanks again,
Sorry if I maligned Muse earlier....

Two click boxes counted as one interaction

When I have a screen with two click boxes that are ticked to include in quiz, I only want one or the other clicked, not both. It seems that Captivate wants you to click both in order to for it to recognise that all questions have been answered. How do I get around this?

If this is one of those situations where the user needs to choose one of two correct answers, and clicking either click box would be considered a correct answer, then one way to deal with this is to use the Infosemantics Interactive Master Widget:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/interactive-master
You turn off reporting for both of the click boxes and get them set up as slaves of the Interactive Master Widget, which then reports a single score to the quiz regardless of which click box is clicked.
Trial version available here if you want to try it out:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/download-free-trial-widgets
Just one caveat: This is an SWF widget so it is not compatible with HTML5 output.

Click Box ?

I have a slide with 3 click boxes that launch 3 pdf's in a
new window. I also have 2 click boxes for nav. next/prev. The Nav
boxes are set to pause project until user clicks and the pdf click
boxes are not. If I click a pdf click box it launches pdf in new
window but also advances to next slide. any idea on how to stop
this so only advance is done via the nav click boxes?
Thanks in advance

On the Click Box tab of the Properties window for the PDF
objects check the down arrow just to the right of the URL box. The
last entry is "Continue Playing Project" - make sure this is not
checked.

Click Box - Open URL's

I created a Captivate project. At the end of the project the
user has 3 options that I created Click Boxes for.
Option 1 - Return to the start of the video and watch again.
Option 2 - Click Next to view the next video
Option 3 - Click to schedule an on-line demo
These click boxes are set to pause until clicked with
Infinite attempts.
Option 1 jumps to slide 1 and works fine.
Option 2 - Is set to Open URL or file -
http://www.raritan.com/videos/blades-management/virtualization.html
Option 3 - Is set to Open URL or file -
http://www.raritan.com/c/f.1002/p.online-demo/thank-you/
If I preview project, these links work correctly (option 2
will show file not found since the video hasn't been posted yet).
When I publish the file and play the flash, both the Option 2
URL and Option 3 URL's open at the start of the swf file. I have
never had this happen before. I have looked at the publish
preferences to see if something there is kicking off the start, but
I don't see anything that would cause this.
Can anyone help me..... This project is already overdue.
THANKS.

Rick,
I selected the click box properties for Option 2 and Option
3. I selected New and I also De-Selected continue running project.
This is producing the same results.
I publish a zip file that includes an .html, .swf and .js. In
not using any project skin and testing components. When I double
click on the swf, the url links for Option 2 and Option 3
automatically open with the swf.
So basically I have 3 windows open. The swf file, and 2 IE
windows one with the url address for option 2 and one with the url
address for option 3.
These should not open until the user gets to the file slide
of the swf and selects one of the click boxes to activate the url
link.
I have been all over these forums and one suggested I put the
text "url:" before the
http:// link --- I tried that and the swf file
and 2 IE windows still opened upon the start up.
Just for additional information - these are my publish
preference settings for Start/End Project -
Project START Options -
Loading screen - unchecked, Password protect project -
unchecked, Password expiration date - unchecked, Fade in on first
slide - unchecked
Project END Options
Action - Close Project, Fade out at last slide - unchecked.
Any idea what to do from here?

I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

Is there a way to import a Power Point presentation without adding click boxes?

I want the user to navigate through the Power Point portion of my training by hitting one of two buttons. Unfortunatley, in order for me to restrict the users options to these possibilities, I have to delete every click box from the slide that is added to the power point slides when I import them. The only other option (as far as I know) is to make it so they advance automatically (without clicking) when I import the slides, and I don't want that either.
If someone can help me out, that would be great!
Thank you!
Ryan

Why not import with the option 'advance automatically' and add the buttons in Captivate? Are you talking about navigational buttons (Next, Previous)? If you are using Captivate 6 you can use a Shape button for that purpose, add it on Master slides or time them for the rest of the project if you want to have them on each slide:

Change default "on success" behavior for click box?

Hello,
I create a lot of pptx --> Adobe Captivate eLearnings, and as you know, when the slides are imported, they are given a click box, which when clicked, advance the user to the next slide. I want to keep the click boxes to stop the project at the end of each slide, but dont want the user to be able to interact with it. (I have a customized navigation bar) I can achieve this by changing the "on success" behavior to "no action". Question -- do i have to do this for every click box? Unfortunately, I cannot apply this to all click boxes like I can apply the timing settings, for example.
Thanks for any help!!
Ryan

As far as I know....and hopefully someone can correct me (I would be curious for sure)... but I don't think you can change the properties of multiple click boxes across slides all at the same time. Other items like buttons and smart shapes can be visually adjusted using the Object style manager, but as far as On Success options and such...unless you select them all in a given slide, you can't. Clickboxes can't even be added to master slides unfortunately. If the clickbox can be in a common place across slides, I would delete all of the clickboxes except the first, make the necessary changes to that one, then do a ctrl+c for copy, and then just paste it into all of the remaining slides. Again, I hope there's an easier way someone can share.

Show an image for incorrect click box response

Is there a better way to show a "Please Try Again" image for a click box response?
1. Add click box.
2. Set to 1 attempt
3. If clicked correctly, advance to next slide.
4. If clicked incorrectly, continuing playing current slide
5. Add "Please Try Again" image in timeline to show AFTER click box Pause.
6. If I want to allow multiple failed attampts before moving to the next slide, duplicate items 1 - 5 above, adding it later in the timeline,
The above method works if Quiz Scoring is turned off. If Quiz Scoring is turned on, would I have to start using variables to score the quiz? Each click box would set a variable to TRUE once they get the question correct, whether it was the first attempt or the third attempt.
Micky

BTW - This is Captivate CS5.
Just thought of a better solution.
After incorrect, redirect to the beginning of the current slide, so it plays from the beginning again. this way, I would have to duplicate a click box and "please try again" image 3 times for 3 attempts in the same slide.
However, this method would not let me specify the number of attempts, unless that was stored in variable.
hmmm....
One second thought, it may be better to just duplicat the items to reflect the number of attempts I want on that page. This would let me include a highlight box after the last attempt so they can learn where to click correctly. We don't want them caught in an endless loop of ignorance!
As for scoring, I wouldn't have to use variables if I directed them to a "Correct" screen that as a "Click to continue" click box that gave them the point. Though that might be a little clunky.
Thanks for letting me think through my problem on this forum. ;-)

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

How do I make a pop up field appear corresponding to the number selected in a dropdown box e.g. 2 selected in drop down = 2 pop up boxes for details of each?

I have a form created in Adobe Pro X that has a drop down box for participants to select the number of presenters they have. Is it possible that when they select the number of people, the correct number of boxes pop up for them to enter personal details for each presenter? e.g. 2 presenters = 2 pop ups?

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

Can I have an action occur only after a button / click box is clicked and held for three seconds?

Within Captivate, I am trying to simulate touching and holding a button for three seconds on a touch pad to get a second window to come up. I have an image of the touchpad and an image of the second window. Now I have to set up the interaction. Is it possible for me to have an image "show" -- in this case, the second window - only after a click box or button is held for three (or more) seconds?
Thanks for any help!

Hi TLCMediaDesign,
That sounds very interesting and I would like to learn how to do it. I just read Common JS interface and I know how to manipulate the output at runtime using the JS console, but that is all I really know how to do...
To understand your answer, I had to make a few assumptions. When you say JS "post publishing", you mean going into one of the JS files that get published with the project such as standard.js and manipulating that. Is that correct?
My second question has to do with the event listener. I have some experience with JS in the past and manipulating HTML elements, for example. How do I find a particular button, or any Captivate object in the JS? HTML elements always have IDs and classes...
Thanks for any help..
