Back and Next issue

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a solution that looks unreachable at least at my side.
I have a presentation with narration on every slide. To ensure that users have to listen the entire narration I'm delaying the "appear after" option, which display the navigation controls only when the narration is concluded.
The problem is...supposing that the user wants to navigate back in the presentation, he/she has to wait again for the narration in order to move to anywhere.
Is there any possibility to return for already visited slides without having this kind of block?
I hope I made myself clear with this question.
Thanks a lot.

Hello and welcome to the Captivate forum,
To be able to give you an answer, could you please provide some information: did you create the navigation buttons yourself? How do you delay their appearance: using the timeline or an (advanced) action? Which version of Captivate are you using?

Problem with Back and Next Buttons: a solution?

Hello,
It is well known that including the Back and/or Next buttons in Captivate quiz questions presents real problems. I have come up with what I think to be a solution. It should allow one to include both Back and Next buttons, if one wants to do this. It involves doing the following:
With Question 1, do not include a Back button. (This is so that the quiz-taker cannot get out of the quiz scope in the forward direction.)
Create this advanced action: If cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions = 0, then Go To The Next Slide (i.e. the results slide); Else Continue.
Insert a slide after the final question (and before the results slide). On this slide, include the following:
A message to this effect: ‘You have not answered all of the questions. Please go back and complete all of them.’
A button labeled ‘Return to Questions’ (on success: Jump to slide with Question 1). But include no other buttons. That is, if the quiz-takers lands up on this slide, he or she has only this option.
On Enter (i.e. on entering the slide being described here), Execute Advanced Action = the advanced action described in Item 2 above.
Now for something odd. Before the slide described in Item 3, insert a slide with a Text Caption with variable $$cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions$$. Keep the slide as brief as possible (something like 0.5 sec.) and make the text of the Text Caption invisible. And why all this? Because I found that, without it, problems arose quite regularly. If one or more questions were not answered, the quiz-taker would come, as expected, to the slide described in Item 3 above. The quiz-taker would then go back to complete the unanswered questions. But then—sometimes—the Item 3 slide would still appear, even though all the questions were answered! The quiz-taker would return once again to the questions (since this is the only option available), only to find that now none of the questions were answered! And at this point, there was no escape: the Item 3 slide would always appear no matter what one did. Why should inserting the additional slide described in the present item solve the problem? I don’t know. All I can say is that (1) without it, the problem arises often (though not always), and (2) with it, the problem hasn’t occurred yet, even though I’ve done lots of testing.
Final note. It will be clear that this solution is meant to be used together with the option Allow Backward Movement. Will the solution work with Branch Aware? I don’t know yet. Will it work with Question Pools? Again, I don’t know yet. I’ve only done a bit of testing in both cases. The results thus far indicate that at least one of these options presents real problems. Both might.
I’m still testing this solution (or what I hope is a solution). If anyone else wants to try it, I’d be interested in hearing how it goes.
Best regards,
Marvin DuBois

Dear Lilybiri,
Thank you for your response.
1. 'I don't get it why you don't use the Submit All option?'
Submit All is fine in some cases. But it limits the options: the quiz-taker does not get immediate (question-by-question) feedback. So where immediate feedback is wanted, the Submit All option presents problems.
2. "Why do you need a Back button . . . ?'
a. The Back button is needed during Review. Otherwise, the quiz-taker can only review in one direction.
b. In some quizzes, the quiz-taker should be free to go back, whether to check earlier question slides (since the questions and/or responses can be relevant for the current question) or to re-read/re-hear information slides inserted between question slides.
But the more general issue is this. The Cp Back and Next buttons provide us with possibilities, with further options. Workarounds are available, such as not allowing backward movement and placing a Clear button over Next. But these workarounds limit the possiblities, i.e. the possibilities that are there—i.e. that Adobe puts there. It's not that we always need these possibliities. But neither should we be hindered from using them if we so choose—and especially when we would be hindered simply because Cp doesn't work as well as it should.
Kind regards,
Marvin

How do I position the back and next buttons in a full screen lightbox

I'm working on a portfolio website, and it has five sections (each section is 1440px wide). I am trying to put in a full screen lightbox for some images. When I adjust the settings for the lightbox, I am just keeping the Back and Next buttons. However, when I put the buttons in one place, they either appear in a different position in the browser, or just don't appear at all. Maybe there's a technique I am missing with regards to putting the buttons in a place most computer browsers will be able to find it. (Pictures of the problem are below, and they use the sample pictures for the slideshow, but it doesn't make a difference what pictures are in there.
Muse document. The arrows are pink and can be seen on the left and right sides.
Web Browser Preview. No arrows, even though they're in the Muse document.

I see that you are using a long page with slideshow in lower section of the page. Navigation arrows are placed around 3200 , so when you will scroll the page down you can view the next and previous buttons.
Try to change navigation arrows and then check.
Thanks,
Sanjit

View Navigation (Back and Next)

Hi Experts,
Are there any alternatives to using plugs for view navigation in Web Dynpro?
We have an application which consist of a number of views, each with a 'back' and 'next' button that loads another view. Problem is - depending on choices made on the views, the next and back buttons need to navigate to different views. This means that we have to create separate plugs and links for each possible destination. Even worse, we have to keep track of which view was loaded before the current view, as the back navigation differs.
If I can maybe illustrate our problem with this example:
View1:
InPlug1(Back from View3 after navigating to it from here)
OutPlug1 (Next button with option A)
OutPlug2 (Next button with option B)
View2:
InPlug1 (Next from View1 with option A)
InPlug2 (Back from View3 after navigating to it from here)
Outplug1 (Next button)
View3:
InPlug1 (Next from View1 with option B)
InPlug2 (Next from View2)
Outplug1 (Back after navigating from View1)
Outplug2 (Back after navigating from View2)
For this simple setup we need 10 plugs and we need to keep track of which View navigated to View3. Is there a simpler way or maybe something we could do different somehow?

Hi,
Please go through this tutorial.
It explains how you can pass parameter inside the fire plug and how you can navigate to a view of your choice from a list of views.
It does not directly address your problem.But then this is possible solution with some intelligent coding.

Single Frame with Back and Next Jbutton support for Swing

Hi All,
I need a help regarding to th JFrame.
I have to design a tool with Back and next button with a single frame. With Next button action i should move to a new Frame content and with Back button i should back to the previous one.
How should i proceed?
Thanks a lot in advance.

1) That's a Swing question. There a {forum:id=950} forum.
2) This is a very common need. There is no built-in widget in the JDK, and a lot of custom approaches, including in libraries. Google for "Java Swing wizard"
3) If you roll your own, the simplest way, as far as the GUI layer goes, is to stuff your panels in a CardLayout, and have your buttons switch the current "card". Very simple: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html
4) The trick may be in keeping the "business logic" in sync (if for example panel 2 depends on processing info from panel 1). If you're new to java and Swing, make sure you understand objects and references

How to use the Back and Next navigation buttons on the Skin

Hi,
I am a Tech Writer using RH7 for my current project. We are using a skin created by our company. I am not able to include the navigation buttons "Next" and "Previous" in my Webhelp output. They are shown in the skin editor (Picture attached), but not reflecting int he output. Can anyone help me with this. You can also suggest any alternative ways of navigation. "Next" option is mandatory for me.

How do you add a "back" and Next" capability to a Disjointed Rollover?

I am having trouble linking two behaviors because I don't understand the code very well. I've seen what I am trying to do at other artists' websites like this one: http://www.emilyberger.net/paintings.html#
I have a nice Disjointed Rollover to show art images. I also have made Mara Ribbers' Linked Slide.
But what I want is to have the two things work together. Done successfully, one would see the detail images off to the left, with the larger picture showing when the details are rolled over. Then one would also have the option of clicking the "Next" & "Back" link/button to advance these same larger images.
It is probably all done very elegantly with CSS, but I can't figure it out.
Can this be done in CS3?
Thanks much

You should look into using a Spry Data widget. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSA671B0BD-047C-4752-BFAC-B6C0601F9791. html#WS7F0B5D16-1F52-455a-A82B-60B61CE58E15
I used a simple HTML page with a table to hold my dataset.
I'm not certain of how to implement the previous/next, but I think it can be done...
Here's a data widget I used on a site I put together for a friend: http://www.gravenimagedesign.net/nickerson/NickersonWork.html
Although I have put the thumbnails in scrolling div, you could just place them in a wider div.

Quiz Review--how can I change/customize the buttons in CP7--now showing "back" and "skip"

Hi,
I am using CP 7 and giving learners the opportunity to review their quiz questions. The review works fairly well, but the buttons at the bottom are not correct. Should say Back and Next or Continue. I don't see a master slide for this, like the Results master slide, where I can edit. Have not found anything useful yet under Object Preferences. Also would be nice to position them. Thanks.

I never show the Next button on a question slide, but drag it under the Clear button, so that it becomes only available during Preview. A skipped question cannot be answered anymore when coming back, it is only confusing. For the same reason I will rarely allow backward movement. Only with the option 'Submit All' it is possible to retake questions within the same Quiz attempt.

UILoader and next-button

Hi!
I use UILoader to load pictures from folder. Example 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc. I have just buttons to browse pictures. Button 1 loads picture 1 etc.
Now I need next and back buttons to browse pictures. Is it possible to do? How?
Here is code I use:
var photo:UILoader = new UILoader();
var defaultPIC:URLRequest = new URLRequest("1.jpg");
photo.load(defaultPIC);
picbox.addChild(photo);
photo.scaleContent = false;
photo.maintainAspectRatio = true;
panel_mc.panelInner_mc.btn_01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, pic1);
function pic1(event:MouseEvent):void{
    picbox.removeChild(photo);
    photo.load(new URLRequest("1.jpg"));
    picbox.addChild(photo);
panel_mc.panelInner_mc.btn_02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, pic2);
function pic2(event:MouseEvent):void{
    picbox.removeChild(photo);
    photo.load(new URLRequest("2.jpg"));
    picbox.addChild(photo);

I have my Quiz Manager setup to Allow backward movement and
to Show progress. I have not enabled any other settings on the Quiz
tab. On the Options Tab, I have under the If passing grade, jump to
"go to next slide" and under If failing, I have Allow user 2
attempts and Jump to "go to next slide".
For each slide I have the same setup under the Options tab as
what I have noted on the Quiz Manager.
I have published and tested the movie. I'm still unable to
use the Back and Next buttons.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you,
Joan

I installed 4Sync on my computer, and it resets my browser constantly. Even when I set my browser back to FireFox Start Page it just switches it back the next time I open a browser. How can I stop this please??

I installed 4Sync when I was trying to find a download for a song and it has hijacked my browser completely. It always tries to set my default home page back to the 4Sync Homepage, but I do not want this. I even change it back and save the settings, but it just comes back and does it again in a few clicks. I feel like it has completely taken over Firefox and that it will always be my start page now, instead of the Firefox Google search page I normally use. I need to stop this because it is frustrating me. There is no new plugins or extensions installed on my browser, I just don't get it. Any answers would be greatly appreciated!!

Same issue for me, no settings or options config changes this
I also tried a roll back to 3.16 and the problem is there too now, so its something in the general mozilla files
dont fancy a full uninstall and delete of anything mozilla, but i wont be using this if it continues

Your entire second paragraph is so confusing I am going to ignore it.
But I may be able to answer your first and third paragraphs, which seem to address the same question.
I wonder where your iPhone states it was backed up yesterday. I am going to assume that you see this under Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If that is true, then the backup from yesterday is in iCloud. The one and only way to restore an iCloud backup is to do this on your iPhone:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
That will cause your iPhone to begin a setup process. As part of that process, assuming you enter the same Apple ID you used when you created the iCloud backup, you will be offered the opportunity to restore from it.

Hi Karen
You may the sort set to Custom. Click the dropdown menu on the toolbar (to the right of the word sort) and change to capture time.
If you can’t see the toolbar above the filmstrip press the T key. Press T again to hide.
