Background colours disappear when question slide added in C4

I recently updgraded to Captivate 4. Since the upgrade I have encountered this problem. I am importing slides from power point. Some of the slides have a blue background. When I add a question slide in C4, the blue background does not show up when I Preview in web browser or Publish the file. The blue background is still there if I don't add any question slides. Any ideas on what is going on and how to prevent my blue backgrounds from disappearing?

Sorry... I was in the process of doing it yesterday, but here's what I did.
I have two versions of Captivate in my laptop, Captivate 3 & 5.
1. I opened Captivate 3 and started a project
2. Create a question pool in Captivate 3
3. I inserted a powerpoint slide with my gif animation in the slide
NOTE: If you want your gif to loop continuously, you must make sure you pause the project in Captivate before the end of the slide. It will not work if you extend the slide duration.
4. After importing the ppt slide with looping gif animation in captivate 3, I copied the slide (make sure you're not copying the invisible click box) and pasted it on top of each question in the pool.
5. Go to your timeline and send the slide to the background if necessary.
6. Line up/design your question slides.
7. Save and close the project.
8. Find the project and open with > Captivate 5
Your question pool should retain the animation.
I am working on creating a "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" game. I've seen it done before, but it always looks amateur. I wanted to do something more polished, with nicer graphics, appropriate sound effects and good transition slides. The gif animation is of two moving spotlights on the background of every question screen. I'd be happy to share a sample if I knew where to upload it to.

Background audio disappears when an interaction slide appears

I have a (Captivate 6 produced) project which includes approx 40 slides and it looks to be running smoothly when published.
However, I have imported a background music audio track which I want to play (and then loop) during the course of the whole course - however, whenever it reaches a slide which has an interaction on it, the music disappears and then returns when a non-interaction-based slide is reached. Disappears again when the next slide is reached that contains an interaction, etc.
I am unable to test in earlier versions of Captivate and so I am wondering whether this is an issue with this version of the program i.e. background audio disappears when an interaction slide is shown?

We don't have the 6.1 update yet, but I did find a workaround for this (although it's not perfect). With Captivate 6 there is now a "Play Audio" action that you can assign to the Slide Properties "On Enter" action. When I did this, the narration continues to play even after the Flash interaction appears in the timeline. So for any narrated slides that have Flash interactions, you need to:
1) remove the Audio narration that is imported to the Slide (Audio > Remove > Slide from the menu bar)
2) On the Slide Properties - On Enter action, select Play Audio, then select the appropriate narration file for that slide.
This seemed to work -- the only problem is that if you use the "Play/Pause" button in the Adobe playback navigation bar, the button seems to get confused and changes to the Play state while the audio is still playing (instead of staying in the Pause state until the audio finishes as it does when the audio is imported to the Slide itself as narration). Not sure how to fix that issue except to remove the Pause/Play button from the playbar and just use the Next/Back buttons. And if you use navigation buttons instead of the Adobe playbar, you don't need to worry about this.
Hope this helps!

Why does my footer background colour change when adding a float to a DIV element?

Bear with me as I am a student learning dreamweaver....
I am trying to insert a series of 4 DIVs into a footer area with a black background. WHen I insert a float to constrain them to a horizontal position, the black background disappears and the body background shows through. A strip of the footer displays on top of the area where the DIVs are placed. The float works but the problem is with the background colour. It's almost as if the divs have been pushed down below the footer area. I have tried placing my cursor in several locations before inserting the float but it doesn't change anything.
Can anyone help?

It all depends on the code you're working with.   In the following example, I applied overflow:hidden to the <footer> element.
Copy & paste this code into a new, blank HTML page to see how it works.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 Layout</title>
<style type="text/css">

Marking words with background colour, the colour disappears when making pdf. How to do?

Hi, I am working with a project that needs to highlight certain word or phrases with different colours. I use the background colour option to do this, but when making a pdf, the colour disappears. How do I get this to work? FM10 unstructured.
JW

Unfortunately, this doesn't work in FM10 (or 11) using the CMYK settings - you have to use RGB and convert the colours either in the PDF (with tools like Enfocus' PitstopPro) or during the postscript stage with a tool like PubliPDF (see: Grafikhuset Publi PDF for GPL licensed freebie version; usage details and other info is available at: Welcome to Grafikhuset Publi PDF ).
You could also try using the CMYK joboptions setting in the RGB mode to see if you get an acceptable conversion (however be aware that any graphics and images in the documents may be affected). You should also set GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=None to prevent FM from trying to do unnecessary colour conversions.
The background colour feature works correctly in the CMYK mode starting only with FM12.

Background Colour Incorrect when exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

Hello All
When exporting to PDF from CR2008 the background colour of the crosstab is incorrectly displayed. The problem is as follows to create a crosstab with a grey header row and column details in white we have used the following trick.
Format Cross Tab Border Background is set to Silver.
Crosstab Expert Grand Total Background colour is set to white.
The result is a crosstab with header in grey and details in white.
This report displays correctly in CR2008, and exports as seen on screen to everything but PDF. When exporting to PDF the Crosstab is completely grey taking on only the Background colour of silver, and ignoring the Grand Total Background colour being set to white.
What is strange that when I print to PDF the format is also displayed exactly as required,
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Some additional details.
CR2008 version 12.3.1.683
Adobe Reader version 9.3.3
Windows XP Professional
Thanks
Phillip

If this is a big issue for you then please purchase a case and a Rep can duplicate and escalate to R&D.
As a work around export to Editable RTF and in Word 2007 you can get a PDF export plug-in and then export to PDF.
Thank you

Background Image Disappear When Refreshing

Hi,
Recently, I encounter a problem for building my application. I define my own background for my application in formsweb.cfg. The background load the first time I access the page, but it disappears when I press refresh button. So, can anyone tell me why and how can I going to fix it? Thank you.
Ramon

Ramon,
you don't specify a Forms version number, which makes it harder for us to help. It could be a problem in a Forms version that may be fixed in a subsequent patch. Without Forms release numer however, I cant tell. I suggest you contact customer support at metalink.oracle.com

Portlet Background Color Disappears when displayed

Hi,
I am using ver 9.0.4.0.99 of Portal and I'v created several Navigation Pages for the top banner and footer of my pages.
The banner is divided into two regions each holding an image. To 'fill in' the white space that surrounds the images I've specified a background color (blue) in a 'banner style' and added it to each region of the Navigation Page.
When we look at the Navigation Page alone, all looks well, but when we add the Navigation Page as a portlet to our root page in a banner region, the background color just disapears. I am left with two images surrounded by
whitespace.
I have just recently done the same process (nav pages with separate styles) in version 9.0.2.6 with another company and I did not have this problem. It worked fine. I even went back to make sure I followed the exact same steps and settings.
Has something changed with this version (9.0.4.0.99)?
Any ideas what we are doing wrong? Thx for your input.

In the properties for your navigation page, on the Others tab, ensure the "Use Style Of Page On Which Portlet Is Placed " checkbox is unchecked. This should force it to use the style you picked in the banner page and not on the display page. Please note this checkbox only has affect on item regions in the navigation page. Portlet regions on the navigation page will take the colors from the style on the display page.
Hope this helps,
Candace

CS6 2D layers disappear when 3D layer added

Doesn't seem to matter if it's classic or raytrace renderer. All non 3d layers become invisible. If I make them 3D, they appear. Strangely, if I nest the comp into another comp, everything shows up only when viewing through the new comp.

File it under the "one more of those CS6 bugs" category. Though you might try to check, whether the issue actualyl occurs when only running with the internal display. You could simply be running out of resources for all that hardware acceleration crap they threw into the program.

Default SSID Disappears When Additional SSID Added

Hi,
I have an issue when configuring an additional SSID for an autonomous AP, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Currently there is one SSID configured to use VLAN 1, Bridge Group 1, and the normal dot11Radio0 and FastEthernet0 interfaces. I can associate clients to this SSID without issue.
I then configure a second SSID, and assign it to VLAN 253, Bridge Group 253, and sub-interfaces dot11Radio0.253 and FastEthernet0.253. Clients can associtae with this SSID ok, but now clients are unable to associate with the original SSID on vlan 1.
Is there something key that I would have missed or any particular debug commands to run that will narrow down the problem?
APs are Aironet 1230B's running c1200-k9w7-mx.123-7.JA1.
Thanks,
Paul

Sorted this.
I needed to specify vlan 1 with the encryption methods and ssid, eg:
dot11 ssid wlan1
vlan 1
authentication open eap eap_methods
authentication network-eap eap_methods
int dot11Radio0
encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 7 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890 transmit-key
encryption vlan 1 mode wep mandatory
Thanks,

Background not rendering when opened in Acrobat 9.4.7 but fine in Reader 9.3.4

The PDF in question was created using InDesign CS5 7.0 and the properties of the file identify the following additions
PDF Library 9.9
PDV V1.5 Acrobat 6.x
and Fast Web View is Enabled
The background colour looks to have been added as a layer during the creation of the PDF. When the PDF is opened in Reader, the background displays fine, when opened in Acrobat, the background is not present. The thumbnail in explorer also shows the PDF with the correct background.
Is this a configuration problem at my end with Acrobat?
Any help is very much appreciated!

Is there an outside chance that you do not have view large images turned on? OK, I am taking a stab in the dark, but it is a potential thing to check.

The colour picker is selecting the background colour instead of the foreground colour.

You know how when you're painting, you can hold ALT and it will pick a colour from the canvas? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the colour but it sets it to the background colour instead of the foreground colour. And when I actually select the colour picker tool, it will only select the background colour but when I hold Alt, it selects the foreground colour. Basically it's flipped where it's supposed to select. Do you know how to flip it back? It's driving me mad. Thanks.

In the Color Palette (Window>Color) click on the foreground swatch. A "focus ring" will appear around it.

White border in cell when adding background colour.

In Numbers for Mac. When I add a background color there is a white border inside the cell. How do I have the entire cell filled with the colour? I go through, the 'format'menu, 'text','layout', 'border' and 'background colour'.

Use the Cell tab to apply a fill color to the cell instead of applying a background color to the text.

How do you change the slide background colour in the keynote app?

How do you change the slide background colour in the keynote app?

You can't (not in Keynote for iOS). The background color is a function of the template selected when you create the file initially and cannot be altered. the only workaround I know of is to add a graphic file to the slide and position it behind all other content, but this would need to be repeated on any slide you wish to "recolor".

Bug in adding Question slides?

Firstly, thank to those who replied to my previous rant... restarting solved that problem.
Current rant: I think there's a bug in the Adding Question slides... but maybe it's me.
Here's the scenario:
I have a Master slide that says "MCQ, T/F, FIB, Sequence" so I think it's the master for the T/F slide.
When I go to Question Slide…, and add 1 T/F slide, it produces a new slide with the correct look from the Master slide.
BUT if I to to Question Slide… and add 2 or more T/F slides, the slides it produces look pretty much like the Master slide (and it says the name of the master slide in the Properties panel), but it's got things wrong with it... the Question X of Y is in the wrong place (the opposite corner, actually), and the "Correct/Incorrect/You must answer" boxes are one below the other... totally different than what's on the Master slide.
I also have issues with the GIFT import... Tryiing to import 10 T/F questions, I swear that the file is UTF-8 perfect, but it's telling me it's the wrong syntax. Why is this so hard?
Thank you for the assistance.
Ben

Thanks for the good suggestion Tony. Luckily I only do a limited number of these and they involve maybe five graphics at a time. I reckon the time it would take to import, apply the motion then export from Motion into FCP would be uneconomic.
I have done more tests and it definately only happens in DV timelines when copying scale motion keyframes from one image to another.
One solution is to manually copy the keyframes which is admittedly a little tedious. The other is to lower the motion filtering to fast which, as far as I can tell doesn't affect the quality to a noticeable extent.
I would say it's a bug unless anyone else can tell me where I'm going wrong?
