Stop Auto Play in Aggregator project (CP5)

I've got a collection of software demos that I thought would be useful to bring together in an Aggregator project. Having done this, when I launch the project, the movies in my TOC automatically run, one after the other.
I set my individual projects not to Auto Play in the Start End Settings, but this hasn't made a difference.
Ideally, I want the first movie to auto play, then let the user select which of the others they want to view.
I'm assuming I'm missing something basic here, but I can't suss it out

P.S. My first swf in the project does not get displayed in the preview window either

How to stop MP3s from auto playing?

When I download an MP3, it starts auto playing in iTunes once the download finishes. I called Apple support but as usual, they had no idea. Any one know how to turn off auto play? This started once I upgraded to Yosemite.

G,
You might try downloading Bluetooth Connect & Stop Play from the playstore.
I found this on the web and it may help:

Embedded SWF files auto starting in IE but set to not auto play - Chrome, Firefox, Safari work ok

One of the web masters at my school has embedded several Captivate 5 swf files in a web page. I had re-exported all of them to not auto start after we realized that the originals were set to auto play upon loading (someone else made the orginials...). Caches have been cleared on IE9, but yet, when that page loads, all of the no auto-play swfs start playing. On Chrome, Firefox and Safari, none of them start playing when the page is loaded. Does anyone have a clue why IE9 might be doing this and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Sue

Am I correct in assuming that when your web developer set these SWFs up on the same page that he did not use the default HTM page that Captivate creates? Did he just embed them into the web page using standard Dreamweaver code for SWFs?
Do the same Captivate SWFs start automatically if you upload them to your web server individually with the HTM and JS files that Captivate creates? If not, then your web developer might be better off embedding the content in his web page using individual iframes pointing at the HTM file rather than the method he previously chose.

I started setting up a web page with iWeb. Auto play box is checked, but music will not play when page is opened.

I started setting up a web page with IWeb.
Several proplems so far:
1) Auto Play box checked for music, but music does not start when page is opened.
2) Can't get Quicktime "start/stop" slide to start and finish a section within a long piece of music (classical for example). How does one work the slide bar to do this?

Yes the audio file plays on the iWeb page when I click the play button. I even made sure it played both without the “little boxes” that surround the icon (don’t know the technical name for those), and when I click the music icon without the little boxes.
I did note that the iTunes window that appears when I open the Inspector is not highlighted until I click the music icon and those little boxes appear. Then the Start/Stop, Auto Play, Loop, and Show Movie Controller are highlighted — and work properly.
One other thing. I see that the iWeb icon I am working from says “Domain copy.sites2.” Does that have a bearing on anything?

Do i need separate videos to enable a user to 'Play All' (From start to end) and select certain sequences (e.g. Ceremony, Reception Speeches that start at the chosen sequence and end at the end of the rest of the video and not the sequence)?

Hi - I am obviously new to Encore but this is what I want to do.
In a wedding video I want them to be able to:
1. Play the movie from start to finish.
2. Select a sequence (say Speeches) that plays from the start of the sequence until the END of the whole video.
So do I need 1 video for the play all one, as well as the 4 sequences - Reception, Cake, Speeches, Dancing?

You can use separate videos, or a single video. The single video is easier for your desired navigation. You will find more people asking how to get the "chapter" or scene video to back to a menu when it ends, and also have a play all. So ignore the advice on those.
Single video:
Your single video goes on one Encore timeline. "Play all" is a button to the timeline, and the timeline has an end action of "last menu."
Chapter menu has 4 buttons (plus a fifth to go back to the main menu), going to each respective chapter marker. There are no end actions on the chapter markers, so when another chapter is reached, it keeps playing through just like the play all.
Multiple videos:
Each video goes on its own timeline. The end action of video one timeline is video two timeline etc. Play all is a button that goes to timeline one. The chapter menu also has a button going to chapter one, and it works the same as the play all. Each of the chapter buttons go to their respective chapter timelines.
Encore can have some issues with lags, but I don't think they affect either of these workflows. Do not rely on the Encore preview; burn a test disk and play on a DVD player.

Including a photo when Auto Play not clicked (Preferences Start/End)

Captivate 8, Windows 7.
I've included a photo to show behind the PLAY button when Auto Play is not checked. I've used this before in previous Captivate versions with great success. But now when I publish it, the photo shows up as an ugly red background. What happened to the photo? Are there photo limitations for this action?

If the photo was a PNG it could be that the transparency setting in the graphic is causing the red background. Try a JPG instead.

Video playlists no longer auto-playing (4.3)

I've noticed that my music video playlists no longer auto-play from one song to the the next with the latest OS update (iPhone 4.3, Apple TV 4.2). Basically, a music video stops and the next one doesn't start until I press play again.
Any solutions?

I have the same problem.
I am using an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3) and various Apple TVs (4.2).
When i start a playlist with music videos from the iTunes store, the first video will be played on the Apple TV and then Apple TV plays this Video again but "repeat" is not selected. Actually the next clip in the list shut be played. Seems to be a bug :-(

After Update, stacked widget won't stop auto play

Hello-
On the home page of a website I am creating, I have used a composition widget to scroll through featured youtube videos. It is designed to auto play, sliding from video to video when you land on the page (stacked option selected), and then stop the auto play when one of the thumbnails is selected.
Now that I have updated/upgraded, the autoplay will not stop! Once you select a thumbnail, the auto play just starts again. This is an issue because I need the user to be able to watch the youtube video in the "slide" they have selected.
Any way around this? or can this be resolved??
Thanks,
-Cord

We broke it in the 2.0 update. 2.1 should go live next week. It includes a fix for this. Until then, I'm sorry but I'm not aware of a workaround.

FIX SLIDE SHOW FREEZE (auto play / loop) IWEB 09

IWEB 09
I Dropped a still shot slide show quicktime video onto my home pg. I used inspector to remove the play menue bar tab and then selected the video to AUTO PLAY and LOOP
When you go to the site everything is fine until your mouse curser crosses over the video and you simultaneously scroll down... it freezes the video and unless your smart enough to double click on the video to start play again it will just freez up.
Why is this happeneing? how do we avoid this? the whole purpose to dropping a video on your pg and having it run in auto play and loop is to be hands free and allow playback while you navigate... it shouldn't freeze up like that
anyone ever have this issue? know how to fix it?
Would very much appreciate your help
go to www.flatironfinishes.com you will see what I am talking about
Thank you!!

yeah you bring up a good point, I think as I was reading tutorial on how to upload audio and auto play/loop it I added it to the pg. and then took the company logo and pasted over that audio box...... later I wtched tutarial on uploading a quicktimes video and auto playing / looping
Yeah I am not to savy on codes and website building.... but can go back into IMOVIE and add in the audio to the movie file and have only one file...
Thank you for pointing that out.
now the html snippet is not recognizig the folder and file in my FTP files?? so the quicktime icon is showing.
So lets say I combine the audio and the video and then drag n drop it into the home pg. as originally done...
If it continues to freeze when you move the cursure over the video and scroll down..... what would I do?
moving the curser over the video does nothing its the combonation of scroilling down and having the curser over the video that it freezes up??
appreciate you guys walking e through this

I am getting closer... I think?

My lap top wont import pictures from auto play. it keeps saying there is a file error and a device connected to the computer isnt working properly. i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste the pictures but this wont work either.

my pictures from my i phone 4s wont import from auto play. a message keeps coming up saying there is an error and a device is not working properly. also i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste them but that wont work either. the page either stops responding or the picture simply dont copy. does any1 have any idea why this is happening. it has never happened before and only seems to be happening since i started using i cloud storage instead of synching my phone with the lap top.

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Auto-Plays On The iPad?

I have my movies on an external G-Drive connected to my Mac with FireWire.
iTunes has Home sharing on using an Airport Extreme. On the iPad when I select
the Shared Tab, my movie collection cover art begins to load as normal. Then I
Select a movie and the cover art is displayed on the right and the movie info on the
left.
The problem is when I select the play button from that screen. The iPad screen goes
black and nothing else happens?
If I tap on the black iPad screen the movie controllers then pop up and if I hit play then
it begins to play. It used to play automatically right after I selected play from the splash screen.
Any suggestions?

It appears that the buffering is taking an unsual longer time to load everything and this may be preventing the auto play from playing the movie as instant as possible.
I also noticed that if I go to edit a movie file on itunes it is taking a bit longer for the selected file to pop up for my edit.

Always Use Primary Line / Auto Line Select CM 4.1(3)sr3c

Is it correct that the "Always Use Primary Line" system parameter and the phone device page "Auto Line Select" setting work together to affect a phone's off-hook behavior for incoming calls? I changed the Always Use Primary Line from the default (False to True) to change the behavior and force primary line only when the phone goes off-hook. When I then enabled Auto Line Select on the 7960G, I expected to reverse this global setting for that device only. But, that did not happen. In fact, no matter how Always Use Primary Line is set (True or False), the device page setting Auto Line Select (enable or disable) does not appear to cause any change at all. Has anyone else encountered this? If changing the Service Parameter takes effect without restarting callmanagers, wouldn't resetting the phone device force the change on the device page to take effect? Or, do I not understand the relationship between these two settings?

Auto Line Select comes into play when you are already on the phone and you have a new incoming call on another line, then should the focus change to that new ringing line so it can show you the caller-id or should the focus be on the active line. Depending on this, the softkeys and everything change on your screen and you don't have to press the line button to see all the keys.
Always use Prime Line is primary used when the phone goes off-hook. This determines if you want to go off-hook on the primary line all the time or not. If you choose to always use primary line, then everytime you go
off-hook, we use the first line on the phone and it does not matter if there is a call ringing on another line.
If its set to false, then when you go off-hook, it will go off hook on a line which is ringing and not your primary line.
