Am I able to name an object on the master slide?

I would like to name, for example, the "Back" button so that I can hide it on the first page. The same would go for the "Next" button. These are my own buttons. I could also hide the "Pause" button and show the "Play" button, etc.
I just cannot find where I could name these.
Thanks

Objects on the master slide cannot be named and you cannot give them a duration. That means that you cannot control them by (advanced) actions neither.

  • Can I put multiple object placeholder in Master slide?

    I would like to know if I can creat multiple object placeholder in Master slide or not.  After searching the disccusion, seems that this problem occur since Keynote 03 and is not improved till Keynote 09 now.  In fact, I would like to make a slide show of multiple photos, but I would like to arrange several photos in one slide and exactly the same position and size in each slide.  So, it would be easiler if I can make a master slide with mulitple object placeholders.  Can anyone help or if there is any alternative ways? Thank you.

    Apple Maps is not a GIS application. It might be one day. For now, you will have to use ArcGIS or something similar.

  • How do you declare objects in the master database

    I am trying to register our CLR assembly as an unsafe assembly without having to make the database trustworthy.  Since making the database is_trustworthy_on = 1 is not a best practice, and would cause some of our customers (and our development process)
    a little bit of grief.
    I have read a ton about it but am still having trouble.
    The reason the assembly is 'Unsafe' is because it is calling the TimeZoneInfo class to convert between timezones, since we are not yet on UTC dates.  We plan to in the future but that's a big project.
    We are also not using the 'SQLCLR' but rather have written our own class library and just have a project reference to it, which works just the same, but we have found to be better for the C# programmers.
    I am playing with signing the assembly using an SNK file and have figured out what I need to do, including 1) creating a master key, 2) creating an asymmetric key using the same SNK file that signed the assembly, 3) creating a login for the asymmetric key,
    and 4) granting unsafe assembly to the login.
    When I do all that with straight SQL, it actually works!  But I am having trouble fitting this into our SSDT world.
    Should I create a separate SSDT project for items #1 through #4 above, and reference it, and check 'Include composite objects' in our publishing options?  As stated in this blog post though, I'm terrified of messing up the master database, and I'm not
    excited about the overhead of another project, a 2nd dacpac, etc.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ssdt/archive/2012/06/26/composite-projects-and-schema-compare.aspx
    Since we do use a common set of deployment options in a deployment tool we wrote, which does set the 'block on data loss' to false, and the 'drop objects not in source' to true, b/c we drop tables all the time during the course of refactoring, etc. 
    I don't want to drop anything in master though, and I don't want to have to publish it separately if we didn't have to. 
    I suppose I could just have some dynamic SQL in a pre-deployment script that takes care of the master database, but I was trying to do it the 'right' way, in a declarative style, but struggling.
    So, in short, what's the recommended approach for getting an 'unsafe' CLR assembly into an SSDT project?
    The error that started all this was:
    CREATE ASSEMBLY for assembly *** failed because assembly *** is not authorized for PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE. 
    The assembly is authorized when either of the following is true:
    the database owner (DBO) has UNSAFE ASSEMBLY permission and the database has the TRUSTWORTHY database property on;
    or
    the assembly is signed with a certificate or an asymmetric key that has a corresponding login with UNSAFE ASSEMBLY permission.
    Also, would a certificate be better than an asymmetric key?  I'm not entirely sure of the difference just yet to be honest.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    After much fighting with this, figured something out as a workaround, and thought I'd share it.
    First, I'm pretty certain the SSDT declarative way for these master objects just doesn't work yet.
    My workaround was to make a pre-deployment script (that runs when we create new databases, as well as for the current release), that takes care of the security items needed to support a signed CLR assembly with unsafe permissions.
    One issue we were running into was when it came to creating the asymmetric key, there are 4 ways to do so, and we didn't want to depend on a hard-coded/absolute file path.  The 4 ways are "From file", "from external file", "from
    assembly", or "from provider".  I still don't 100% understand the from provider way, but ultimately we are actually using the from assembly way, with a little trick/hack I did that allows us to not have to use the 'from file' way and to
    reference a hard-coded path on someone's C:\ drive.  I really really didn't want to do that b/c we create local dev databases all the time and not everyone has the same paths setup.  Also, our databases are deployed on our servers as well as remote-hosted-customer
    servers, and up until now, the database release has not needed file system access.  Even the CLR itself is created using assembly_bits, which is awesome.
    So I thought of something...
    What if I had a simple/temporary assembly, which I create from assembly_bits, use to import the public key from, through the create asymmetric key from assembly command, and then drop as if it never existed?
    Well...it works!
    Here is my current prototype of a pre-deployment script, which I'll go through and cleanup more, but thought I'd share.  I also want to document how I created the temporary assembly_bits in case anyone ever wants or needs to know, even though they really
    shouldn't.  But it should make them feel better.  Basically I just created did this to get them:
    1 - Created a C# Class Library project in the solution.
    2 - Added our .SNK to that project and removed the 'Class1.cs' that it created by default
    3 - Signed that class library with the .SNK
    4 - Added a project reference to that class library from the main database solution.
    5 - Generated a deployment script (but didn't run it) and grabbed the create assembly statement (copy/paste)
    6 - Deleted the temporary project
    7 - Pasted the code I had copy/pasted into the pre-deployment script
    Note that the objects do apparently need to go into MASTER, so at the end of the pre deployment script, I switch back to the automatic [$(DatabaseName)] after first having done USE master.
    Hope this helps someone.  Finally got it!
    BTW - The other way we almost used was to introduce a SqlCmdVariable of $StrongNameKeyFilePath but that would have been a hassle for people to set whenever they got a new machine, etc.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • Changing the display names of objects in the JTree

    Hi All;
    Is there a possibility of changing the display name of the nodes in JTree? I mean not the actual name of the JTree object, but only the display name? Is there any method available for that?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    Regards Madumm

    If your tree node object has application-specific complexity, you should define a custom tree node class and a renderer for that. Or if you just could use DefaultMutableTreeNode, call setUserObject() method with a new String.

  • How do I 'assign a higher layer to the object on the master' (page numbers on master) I understand the layer needs to be at the top to show above placed images on pages but how do I do this?

    I've added the page numbers to my master pages. They are displaying on the pages but I have images on the individual pages that are covering the numbers. I understand I need to assign a higher layer to the object but I don't understand how to do that. Please help me? Please explain a simply clearly as possible, I've read other answers but still don't understand. Wish it was as simple as select object, right click, edit layer!
    Many thanks!

    Layers panel;
    Create new layer
    Switch to Master page
    Make sure new layer is on top in the Layers panel, if not drag the layer on top in the Layers panel.
    Select (click once on) that top layer (pen symbol appears behind that layer in the Layer panel)
    Now draw your page numbers etc on the Mastet page
    From now on, select (click once on) any Layer in the Layers panel that is below the layer you used on your Master page items and create new objects in your document pages.
    If you accidently created objects on a 'wrong' layer:
    Select those objects
    You will see a square behind the layers name in the Layers panel
    Click and hold the mouse on that square and drag it behind the name of the layer you want to move the objects to.

  • Why am I not able to put plug-ins on the master track?

    so my problem is that the volume of tracks in logic is correctly and if I listen to them in itunes they are way lower. I put an adaptive limiter, a match eq, a multripressor and gain on the output track and nothing changed. How can I solve that problem?
    Thanks

    The simple solution is to turn up iTunes' output.
    The better solution is to learn about audio levels and how those plugins work. It now comes across as if you just put those plugins on without understanding what they do, and what their downsides are; here are some useful links with valuable info - especially the Levels in Digital Audio .pdf, found in the first link, is a must read.

  • I facilitate a lot of workshops and working sessions where Iuse presentation software. What I want to be able to do is "draw" on the presentation slides with a tool which will allow the drawing to be seen on screen and captured as mark ups or notes.

    Can anyone suggest the right software / tool? I am thinking that if the presentation was run on an Ipad it might be possible to have an app which can be used to "mark-up" the slides so that it can be seen on screen for all to see and capture the markings so that you can leverage the mark-ups as notes for changes to be made based on the working session. Can anyone suggest a successful way of accomplishing this?

    It's not something I've ever done. But SlideJockey:

  • Master slide and object animations

    Hi,
    I have a problem. If I apply an animation on some object on a slide, when I play the presentation, the objects on the master slide disappear. This doesn't happen if I apply a transition on the whole slide.
    I tried to play my presentation on a different machine, a macbook, and there is no problem.
    I don't think this is a misconfiguration because if I use two monitor, I can see all the object on the monitor for the speaker, but the problem yet remain on the monitor for the presentation.
    Is there anyone have an idea about the reason?
    thank you

    If it is working on a different machine, it may be there is something wrong with your current install of iWork. I would suggest deleting all the iWork preferences files (located in your Library, in Preferences, delete all of the "com.apple.name" files that have "iWork", "Pages", or "Keynote" in their name), and then re-install the software.
    As an intermediate step, you might try creating a new user account, and see if the problem appears on that account. If not, I'd suggest deleting the preferences in your original account, as indicated above, and see if that solves things.

  • Master & slide title or object linking?

    greetings,
    i've been using keynote for a few years. i'm using keynote version 5.0.4, which is the current version. i compiled a presentation recently by copying slides from older presentations. i've made a newer master and have reassigned the master slide for the slide to be the same. however, the titles on the slides are not getting relinked to the master slide title. so changes to the master title style are not being reflected in the individual slides for most slides.
    i've played with the "inspector" -> slide -> appearance to see if i can for the title to relink to the master, without success. so far the only way i've found to get the slide titles to connect to the new master is to insert a new slide and copy the slide body and presenters notes to the new slide. then i select the text in the old slide title and "paste & match style" in the new slide.
    but my presentation is around 140 slides. and i don't want to have to do this to all of them to be able to globally control the style of the slide title.
    i've searched some of the posts and haven't seen this addressed before. does anyone have any suggestions about how to relink the slide titles if they are no longer linked?
    thanks for any suggestions.

    ahh! i found it...
    1- select the object, in this case the title
    2- right click
    3- pop-up menu shows "reapply slide master to selection"
    i spent about an hour yesterday fooling around this this, trying different things, and did't figure it out...

  • Keynote 6.5 Loses Ability to Copy and Paste Master Objects (Titles, Body) From One Master Slide to Another

    This is just a major pain point that I hope is fixed as soon as possible.
    In all Keynote 6 versions of the past (and 5), you were able to do the following:
    1) Copy a Title or Body object (with proper formatting) from one Master Slide to another.
    1a) The slide you would paste it into would have had to have been deleted/unchecked.
    2) The pasted Title and Body objects would then assume the role of the Master's Title and Body Boxes
    Now:
    Instead of assuming the role of the Master Slides Title and Body Boxes, they are simply text box objects. If you were to check "Title" or "Body", the old objects (with probably improper formatting) would still be that slide.

    Below is the EtreCheck report. If Needed I am willing to make a screencast of the problem.

  • Objects in master slide disappear

    Hi,
    I got a problem with my master slides. I don't know why, but in some projects (not all), at some point, some objects (not all) in the master slide disappear. They are in the timeline, but we cannot see them in the document window display nor in the published swf. 
    What's the bug? (I'm using Captivate 5.5)
    Thanks
    LAG

    Hello again
    I totally understand about the visibility on Timeline having no effect on the published output.
    Let me try to explain this differently. Consider your Captivate workspace to be like a piece of paper. Perhaps you lay another piece of paper sized identically to the first on top of the paper. That second piece is colored gray. So it would provide the illusion of a gray background. You insert a caption and you see the caption and the gray background. You later insert another image. Perhaps a small photo. Now you see the caption, the photo and the gray background. But what if the photo were the same size as the paper? Then the whole photo would just cover the gray background. That's what I was trying to get at by turning off visibility in the timeline. Thinking that perhaps you have something large that is just covering things up where you cannot see them.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Objects in Master slides staying infront

    Hi I'm wondering if there is an option within keynote to allow objects in master slides to appear in front of objects in slides that that master is applied to.
    Hope this makes sense!!

    Yes, select the Master slide, then
    Chose the "Slide" tab in the inspector, then "Appearance" and select "Allow objects on slide to layer with master"

  • Keynote 6.5 Loses Ability to Keep Master Slide Objects Static for Object Transitions

    A gripe that I'm hoping many of you are as infuriated with as me – and hopefully maybe someone can point out something I am not seeing.
    In past versions of Keynote 6:
    Premise:
    An object is placed on a Master Slide (not a placeholder)
    That master is applied to slides.
    An Object Transition (Cube, Revolve, Pop, Push, Flip, Zoom Perspective) is applied to that slide (which is followed by a slide with the same master)
    Result:
    Only objects not on the master slide would animate during the transition leading to a premium feeling transition.
    Keynote 6.5
    Premise:
    Same as above
    Result:
    All objects animate, including non placeholder Master Slide objects resulting in "too much" happening on screen.
    As a presentation designer who makes a living on Keynote, this is a huge step back. I used to trick Keynote 5.3 into getting the effect that I wanted by taking screenshots of a blank slide and then making that screen shot the background of a slide. It was a time suck, often somewhat pixelated, a huge addition to file size (especially for templating), and cumbersome to make small changes like adjusting position of logos.
    Apple... I hope one of your engineers are reading this and creates a fix for this in the near future.

    A gripe that I'm hoping many of you are as infuriated with as me – and hopefully maybe someone can point out something I am not seeing.
    In past versions of Keynote 6:
    Premise:
    An object is placed on a Master Slide (not a placeholder)
    That master is applied to slides.
    An Object Transition (Cube, Revolve, Pop, Push, Flip, Zoom Perspective) is applied to that slide (which is followed by a slide with the same master)
    Result:
    Only objects not on the master slide would animate during the transition leading to a premium feeling transition.
    Keynote 6.5
    Premise:
    Same as above
    Result:
    All objects animate, including non placeholder Master Slide objects resulting in "too much" happening on screen.
    As a presentation designer who makes a living on Keynote, this is a huge step back. I used to trick Keynote 5.3 into getting the effect that I wanted by taking screenshots of a blank slide and then making that screen shot the background of a slide. It was a time suck, often somewhat pixelated, a huge addition to file size (especially for templating), and cumbersome to make small changes like adjusting position of logos.

  • Unhide objects within master slides?

    Hi,
    I have a bunch of flash animations on a master slide in Cp 5.0, and some of them overlap one another, so I right-clicked an animation and chose 'Hide' in order to get it out of the way so I could get to the animation under it. That was apparently a bad idea, because now I can't find a way to unhide it, since the master slides don't have their own timeline.
    In other words, since the object is now hidden, I can't right-click it to 'unhide' it because it is not there to right-click. The animation still plays in F10, so I know its still there, I just can't get to it to edit it. Does anyone know a way to unhide something that has been hidden like this on a master slide? Or, even better, a way to bring up a 'timeline' for the master slide?
    Thanks.

    Here's an image of what it looks like for me. Just clear the X.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Add an object placeholder to a master slide

    How do I add an Object Placeholder to a master slide so I can drag and drop photos and have the pictures automatically size themselves to fit the placeholder? (I need to place 400 images, 18 to a slide and manage their builds individually.)

    To add a placeholder to a master, select the master, and then in the Master Slide Inspector palette, select the Appearance tab, and under Layout check the "Object Placeholder" option.
    However, do note that a slide can have only one Object Placeholder on it. If you have a large number of images that need to be sized to certain maximum dimensions, you might find instead that a tool such as Downsize is useful -- it will automatically resize a folder of images to a maximum height or width (and it's only $20). ImageWell also does quick resizing (freeware, although no batch feature).
