Adding a quiz timer

I've read some older posts about adding a timer to a quiz but never really saw a definitive way to do it. I'm using Captivate 6 and I would like to add a timer to a random question quiz which, once the time expires, it advances the user to the results slide. Is this possible? And if so, how do I go about doing it?

Since I'm now on a laptop and can see the screenshots, I don't read that Mayank told you the timer could be used as a trigger? He just pointed to my blog post, and I'm very certain that I didn't write about that being possible.
Timing Learning Interaction has changed name, and is now also called Timing Learning interaction. But the screenshot you are showing is definitely the one from the widget. Properties for the Timing Interaction are in the screenshot. You see that you can have an action after timeout, which is only to jump to another slide. Then you can use the On Enter of that other slide to trigger another advanced action. But you have to be aware that the jump will only occur 2 seconds after timeout to show the message. And contrary to the Timer widget, this timer interaction is mostly not starting immediately, especially if it has to be loaded on the first slide (which is to avoid).

Possible to display quiz time in results?

I'm using a timer interaction to count up to 10 minutes during a quiz. The goal is for the learner to complete the quiz as quickly as possible. Is it possible to capture the time when then submit the last question and display it with the quiz results? For example, if I completed the quiz in 6 minutes and 45 seconds, could I have "Quiz Time - 6:45" displayed on a separate slide?

Should be possible with system variables, and advanced actions. Have a look at: Display Time information - Captivate blog This post has been written for an older version. Some system variables have a changed name now, I don't know which version you are using, but since you talk about 'interaction' it will be a more recent one. A list with system variables in 6: System variables in Captivate 6 - Captivate blog and new ones added in 7: New features in Captivate 7.01 - Captivate blog
Sorry, didn't yet publish the new ones in 8.

Thanks for your response, but copying and pasting creates a link. If the user places a check mark in one of the boxes, all the rest of the boxes will have a check mark also. I will research this some more.

Adding a second time capsule?

I've reviewed some of he discussion on adding a second Time Machine but two issues arise. The information relates to older Time Machine software and leads to confusion.
I have an Airport Extreme with S/W version 7.6.4 and would like to add a newer Airport Extreme to back up the older one. Reading the suggestions on adding a new TC didn't cover the newer Time Machines and I could find Apple's instructions for doing it.
Somewhere I read that the new TC could be connected to the old TC but forgot the port setup. Also, newer instructions for adding a second TC so both the old and the new acquire the same data could not be found.
Hope This question is clear. Is there help on this?

The network setup is fairly trivial.
Plug TC2 into TC1. (the hardware is Time Capsule.. TC as per your title.. or is it Airport Extreme as per your question..?? Time Machine is software on your computer.. and totally unrelated to the hardware.)
Makes no difference which way around you do it. Plug WAN of the 2nd device into LAN of the 1st device. And setup the 2nd device in bridge.. wireless is up to you.. off or on?? Roaming or not??
As far as backup is concerned.. you need to be clear in the question. And sorry it is a bit mixed up now.
But I can tell you what you cannot do.
You cannot backup to both units at once. You can however setup Time Machine in the computer to backup sequentially to both.
See Q34 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
The TC itself cannot backup to another TC.
(extreme with hard disk amounts to the same thing.. with caveats)
You can backup one TC to another manually via a computer.. it is slow and I do not recommend it.. if a fault creeps into backup1, you are simply copying said fault to backup2.. AND it is poor for another reason.. Time Machine cannot do it.. you will need another utility eg Carbon Copy Cloner.. and even then you will probably end up backing up a huge amount of data every time.. since TM works so strangely you cannot just backup differences.

How to restore my old Itunes Library WITH the DATA (plays & date added) from a time machine

Hi,
I recently got my macbook fixed through the apple store and the repairers replaced my hardrive, therefore wiping my computer of all its infor, including my Itunes library. Luckily, I had everything backed up on my time machine.
My question is how I can put back all my music into Itunes but also restore my data such as ratings, date added, and number of plays. Of course, I just want all my music back on my computer but stuff like this is what makes my library unique and personal to me. I enjoy listening to my music in order of when I downloaded them, bringing me back to specific experiences and times of my life where I enjoyed the group of songs, but I cannot do that when my Itunes has the "date added" of my songs all on the same date (the date that I'm putting my music back on).
Is there any way to take my itunes from library from my time machine and restore that back onto my itunes? (I've recently updated my Itunes too)
Please, anything helps!
Thanks!

I was also previously having problems doing a full system restore from my most recent backup.
Depending on what kind of problems, they may be damaged.
Long story short, all I want to do is restore my Itunes and just the Itunes from where and what it was like before.
Have you already set up a user account? If so, you might be able to selectively restore your iTunes library from your backups, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
But the user account you've set up may not be recognized as the same one as on your backups; you may not have permission to view, much less restore, the library.

Adding a Date/Time stamp to videos already created

We have someone using Elemets 8
They need to add in the date/time stamp to video's that are already created.
The camcorder we have does record this information but doesn't allow that information to be put onto the screen its a Canon HD HF200
We were told by Adobe support we can do this but they wanted $39 plus $39 an hour.
Anyone out there able to tell me how we can get this done for free

PrE lacks the TimeCode Effect (unless it has been added in PrE 10?), that both PrPro and Adobe After Effects has. However, even that Effect does not do date/time, just Runtime TimeCode, but with some display alternatives.
There are two programs called DVDate. One is/was freeware, and the other was inexpensive shareware. I do not have the two links handy, but believe that either will do what the user wishes.
I know that in the past, one valued contributor, Neale, has posted the links, and has also given the details of what each of the programs can, and cannot do. Maybe he'll drop by this thread, and fill in the blanks that I am leaving here.
Good luck,
Hunt

Numbers: Cell time calculation not adding the correct time

Greetings,
First, thank you in advance for your assistance. I have searched the board and where there are many great formulas, I have not found the answer to this challenge.
Cell A1 has a time for example 5:45 PM
Cell C1 has an amount of minutes for example 40
Cell B1 should be adding 40 minutes to 5:45 PM for result of 6:25 PM
Cell A2 picks up the value of Cell B1 as its starting value so that it can calculate the same formula for the next line.
This document is a schedule so that it adjusts the times based on the amount of minutes a segment is. I can post an excel file if that will assist, the excel formula for this in the B cell is A1+TIME(0,C1,0)
Again thank you in advance for any assistance in solving this challenge.
John

=TIME(HOUR(A),MINUTE(A)+C,0)
• Every time I may use them, I uses the "short references", those with no row num embedded.
• The TIME function requires three parameters,
a number of hours,
a number of minutes
a number of seconds
but the formula parser is fair enough to understand that, when the given number of minutes is greater than 59, it means some hours + some minutes.
And of course, mutatis mutandis, it's the same for the number of seconds.
This is why, when I want to display with the current format hh:mm:ss a decimal time value as those resulting of calculations, I don't spent time to isolate the number of hours, the number of minutes, the number of seconds. I just calculate the total number of seconds.
if cell B2 contains 0.1234490740741
I type =TIME(0,0,B24*6060) in cell C2
Then, applying the yy:mm:ss format I get 02:57:46
inserting =TIMEVALUE(C) in D2, I get 0.1234490740741
I know that this behavior is not described in the Help.
I don't feel that it's a sin.
It's for passing this kind of details that the forum exists.
I feel perfectly odd questions whose response is available in the Help but it's always a pleasure to help users to discover features which are only available "between the lines".

Project Server adding in erroneous time into users timesheets

Hi All,
I'm hoping somebody has seen this and can help, as I am not sure what PS is doing here.
We are using PS 2010 in SEM and users are only filling in their time in the timesheets.
I've noticed in certain timesheets and for the same task that PS seems to be adding erroneous time into certain dates. When I look at the task details there is no record of the time being added or sent by the user, and they clarified this.
Is there a way of finding out why PS is adding this time?
Many thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee,
I am not sure of the patch level but there are few known issues which are already fixed. I would advice you to patch both your server and client to SP2 atleast and then check the behavior. If you can describe more about what is getting added and if you have
an example, that will help us answer more.

Adding a simple timer to game

I created a game. It's not a quiz, but i tell the users they have 60 seconds to complete it. How do i create a timer with 60 seconds to add to the slide. if they finish within the 60 seconds then their fine. it takes them to a new screen. If they run out of time I will give them one more chance. if they run out of time a second time it will direct them to another screen that basically says they failed.
Any and all help will be appreicated.
Thanks!

Double posting, please look at the thread in the principal forum http://forums.adobe.com/message/5695329#5695329

Adding a Second Time Capsule to a Network

I have made several multi-base station networks in the past, from graphite, through snow, express, extreme and now have a Time Capsule 1TB and an Express. The Express is there simply to provide a second networked USB printer. My current issue is with NAS; I have two Buffalo LinkStations and their attached USB drives, and I tried out adding a LaCie Wireless Space (being cheaper than another LinkStation), which has been something of a disaster. It works by itself but doesn't play well with others. So I'm going to add a 2TB Time Capsule to 'join an existing network' as the setup assistant likes to put it. Two questions:
1. I assume I may use the USB port on the second Time Capsule to reconnect the printer that currently sits on the Express? This gets me one step closer to a network running on 802.11n, as the Express is an older b/g model. Only my wife's Chumby will be holding us back at that point.
2. The ethernet ports on Time Capsule #1 are full: one Brother laser MFC, and the two LinkStation NAS drives. May I expect the ethernet ports on Time Capsule #2 to function, um, transparently? If I plug in another ethernet printer or NAS will it be visible to Bonjour and the Finder respectively? I ask as I have tried using an ethernet hub plugged into a port on Time Capsule #1 and no printer plugged into the hub is seen by Bonjour.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Chris

1. I assume I may use the USB port on the second Time Capsule to reconnect the printer that currently sits on the Express?
Yes, you will be able connect a compatible printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule in either the "join" or "extend" configuration.
May I expect the ethernet ports on Time Capsule #2 to function, um, transparently?
No, if the Time Capsule is configured to "join" a wireless network because it performs no routing functions in this type of configuration. The Ethernet ports are not enabled.
Yes, if you configure the Time Capsule to "extend a wireless network". The Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup.
I think you will have an easier time of it if you use Manual Setup in AirPort Utility rather than the guided setup.
Everything above assumes that TC #2 is picking up the wireless signal from TC#1 and TC#1 has been configured to "Allow this network to be extended".

Setting corect value in JTable while adding row @ run time

HI All,
Iam facing the following problems in Java Swing while using JTable..
I have a JTable with 11 colums and i add row on run time..
Since i needed the 11th column of the table to be of type CheckBox i used the follwing object in the DefaultTableModel class..
Object[][] data =
{"1", "", "", "", "", "", new Double(0.0), new Integer(0), new Double(0.0), new Double(0.0),new Boolean(false) }
When ever i wan't to delete a row i will click the Boolean Object ( which appears as a Check box ) and then delete that row.. For deleteing i am using 1 methods..
1. By selecting the col by mouse and the click a button to delete the selected rows...
2. By selecting the col by key board , using a Menu ShortCut key ( CTRL-F ) and then using the space key to on the value , then i use another Menu ShortCut key ( CTRL-D ) to delete all the selected rows..
The above 2 methods work fine as for as deleting is concerned..
But the problem starts while adding another row after deleting one or more rows..That 2 happens while the deletion had been done by the KEYBORD only..
The problem is...
If there is more than 1 rows and i select some rows of any order..And then delete them with the Keyboard option..and then add a rows , while adding the row @ the postion where the last row was deleted iam getting the 11th col. value ( which apears as a check box ) as selected..For example if there is 4 rows and i delete the 3rd and 4th row and then when i add rows its fine for the 3rd row and for the 4th row ( which was the last one which was slected to be deleted ) i get the option as a selected one..
But while adding i use the above said Data object only..I then used the the
JTablename.getValueAt(i,10); to print the value and iam geting false only..
And more over when i try to focus in the cell in 1st row last column of the table by the setSelection method , the focus goes to the cell which appears to be enbled..
My friends asked me to use the follwing methods before adding rows ..
1. clearSelection()
2. Validate()
3. repaint()
But the problem seems not over can anyone help....
U can mail me to [email protected]
Love,.

Yes, relatively easily, I think.
In your end jump script set a second value in a different GPRM that identifies the last film played. This way the play all flag is set and you know which clip has just been seen.
On resuming the play all you need to reset the play all flag to '1' and then look at the other GPRM to see which clip played last. Use a bunch of jump commands to get back in to the playback at the start of the next logical clip and it should continue through as before.
The secret here is to clear the play all flag when showing a few clips, but use your 'resume play all' button to reset the flag and see where you were by reading the other GPRM.
The downside here is that you could be in clip 3 when you exit the play all, but you would have to resume clip 3 from the start when you return as the 'Resume' info will get cleared if you start showing other clips in the mean time.
Have you also considered setting up a video jukebox? You could then pick a selection of tracks to play in the order they were chosen and leave them to run through. This is a much trickier bit of scripting, but very possible!
Stories could have made things easier, but given the set-up that you have built you can still get what you need from the scripting

Quiz Timer Not Jumping to Score Slide for Submit All Quiz

I've followed the instructions for the TimeCheck advanced action posted by Lilybiri (http://lilybiri.posterous.com/timer-widget-to-stress-your-learners), but it doesn't work for me. Am wondering if it is because I am doing something wrong or because I have the Submit All option selected in the Quiz Preferences. Any ideas?
My goal is to have a countdown timer for a quiz that automatically jumps to the score slide when the time expires.

Hi,
It will not be functional anymore, because I checked and the variable associated with the Timer widget is not updated anymore. Moreover, one is limited in characters used for the variable., underscores are not possible anymore, variable always starts with a capital etc. I do not know what has changed in this widget, have been asking for an explanation but got no answer yet. For the moment the Timer widget is pretty useless if you want to do an action based on the value of the variable. I'm very sorry and should even check all posts about widgets (there are quite a lot there) to see if other similar problems occur.
My blog proves with the example and the screenshots that this work flow has been possible in the past. No tricks there.

Adding Date and Time

I added the iweb date and time to my website and it looks great, the problem is it stays at the time when you upload live and never changes. I have to go into the program every day to change it. Is this missing a script that apple doesn't provide?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I found that to be the case also. There is another way that I found. You can see it on this demo page: Date/Time, Show/Hide Text and Poll Widgets.
There may be some javascript you can add to a snippet that would refresh the date and time that you added but that's beyond my capability. It also might refresh the page and that would be annoying.

Adding a delay timer in a frame - need help

in flash cs3 using actinscript 3.0 i have a frame that i
loaded text into, i want to freeze that frame so the text stays in
the window for lets say 10 seconds, then it exits and loops
again...is there a snippet of code like sleep(1000); that will
allow me to do that?

1. 10 seconds would be 10000 ms, one minute would be 60000 ms
2. you only need this to execute 1, not 60 times
3. you need an event listener for your timer to call a
function that will direct your timeline to play
4. you need a stop() in that frame.
5. you need the function mentioned in 3.

I bought and external usb hard disc, and i added it to time machine and now i can't use it! what do i do?

I just bought this external USB hard disc, and what I did was I put all of my pictures in there because I need space for my computer. What I did after that , is that I configured the hard disc with Time Machine, to clear some space also and to "protect" my data. But now I can't use my hard disc, I can't see my pictures I had in it and I can't use it for Time Machine either.
What can I do to get my pictures back?? Thanks!!

External USB hard disks come formatted, and unless they're specifically sold for use with Macs, they're formatted for PC's, with FAT, exFAT, or NTFS formats. Macs can read data from all three formats but can only write to FAT and exFAT formatted drives. So you could save your pictures to an external with either of those two formats. However, Time Machine needs a HD formatted and partitioned for a Mac, and if you "configured the hard disc" for use "with Time Machine," you effectively erased the pictures. However, since you "can't use it for Time Machine either," it's not clear exactly what you did, so we'd need to know that first. Also, what do you mean by "clear some space also?" On your internal or the external? And if the external, how did you do that since it already had your pictures and should still have had some empty space.
I'd suggest looking here to see if your external's format agrees with what Time Machine needs. Just look, don't actually change anything, so we have some baseline to work with. And also look at the box the external HD came in. What does it say about computer compatibility and which operating systems it's intended for (i.e., Windows, Mac, both).
