Bring to front/back and rollover images on Question slides

Hi All-
My feedback captions show through revealing the content underneath. There is not an option to make them opaque. Also, Captivate allows me to insert a rollover caption on a Question Slide (as opposed to a button which it does not allow) but the rollover doesn't work. Suggestions? Please see me pdf attached.
Thank you!
Rita

All objects that are default to question slides (no separate timeline visible) are on top of the other objects. That has not changed.
I found some tweaking possibilities for shapes but that first rule is still valid: http://blog.lilybiri.com/want-a-button-on-question-slide-in-captivate

Move back and forward through Quiz questions...

Hello,
I need to be able to let individuals move back and forward through quiz questions after they have answered them without the need to re-answer the question.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do this in Captivate 6.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply!
I should have been a bit more specific and provided an example...
Question 1 and 2 are answered correctly and feedback box is shown each time - they then get stuck on question 3 so need to use the back button to go back through past the answered questions to the main information screens to find the answer and then need to use the forward navigation button to move back to the third question this will result in them moving through question 1 and 2 however we do not want them to answer these again.
The individual must answer every question correctly to pass the course.
Thanks,

Can we send pre-test score (Pre-test question slide) and post test score (Question slide) both in lms from captivate?

Pretest score normally is not sent to the LMS. However it is stored in a system variable, you could use JS to send it.

HTML5 and rollover images

Hi there.
Just wondering if there's any workaround for using rollover images when publishing to HTML5.
I've also noticed that links and widgets don't always work correctly when publishing to HTML5. Will I just have to publish everything as SWF?
Thanks.

Almost all widgets that have ever been created for Captivate are SWF and therefore NOT compatible with HTML5 output. If you have SWF widgets in your project and you want them to work then YES you will need to output as HTM/SWF instead of HTML5.
In the mobile world, there is no mouse. So rollover needs to be re-developed as a tap or swipe. Effectively a click or drag.

Help! needed with behaviors - iFrames (open URLs and rollover images)

I'm able to target an iFrame and open a series of images from text link numbers on same page.
But I'm not able to simultaneously target another smaller iFrame and have a thumbnail of the same image load
when the full size image loads in the full size iFrame,
nor can I get a rollover image to load in the smaller thumbnail iFrame when I mouseover the text link numbers.
I have nav link mouseover images on the same page, so I numbered the thumbnail mouseovers consecutively after the navbar mouseovers.
Previously, thumbnail mouseovers had been numbered beginning with Image1 like my nav bar mouseovers,
and thumbnail images would load in my nav bar,
but now they won't load at all.
Suggestions?
See - http://dstall.com/ld/products/priest/byzantine/

OK, I got swap image to work for both images, but it's still not doing what I want.
See 1, 2, 3 under 'Accessories' in left div - http://dstall.com/ld/products/accessories/
Mouseover of each number loads appropriate thumbnail AND full size image.
I want mouseover to only load thumbnails, then on mouseout, load thumbnail corresponding to full size image that is currently loaded.
When clicking on a number, I want corresponding thumbnail and full size image both to load and to remain loaded.
Please check/correct my source code.
Here's how I constructed swap image -
I highlighted my text 'number', entered placeholder link (#), left 'target blank', selected onClick, then SwapImage behavior -
SwapAction then appears next to onMouseOver even though that's not where I had applied the behavior.

Going back in tutorial renders unanswered question slides void

Hi, I have looked through the last few months of questions and don't see exactly my issue.
I have a Captivate 4 project that is linear and has questions (no scores reported to LMS) throughout to reinforce learning.
When a learner gets to a quiz item in the series and wants to jump back to an earlier content slide (using TOC or back arrow on Nav bar--I don't have back arrow on Question slide itself.) they can't return to the question and take it. The question appears to be locked up and they get the error message below. This is a question they never tried.
I don't put a back button on the question because I don't like to encourage that, but I do have on the Quiz settings to "Allow backward movement". If that will fix the problem, then I'll add that button. Just wondering if there is another setting I can change.
The question settings are:

Yes, I had to do something, so I changed the number of attempts to unlimited. That did fix the problem. Guess if we aren't scoring the items, we need them guess as many times as they like. This automatically resets the question for reentry from anyplace.
Thanks.

Spry submenu colors and rollover images

New both to spry as well as creating flyout menus. I've spent
hours attempting to use the spry menus properly, but have hit a
brick wall in a couple of areas.
First (and I'm sure I must be missing something incredibly
obvious), I would like to have the background of my submenus a
different color than that of the main list. Somehow, I just can't
get it right.
Second is my need to for a different rollover effect for
different items in the first list. I need a different sized gif
shape to highlight the main words in the initial list. Through
switching out the default rollovers in the css, I can have a custom
image, but not a separate one for each selection.
Any advice (other than read a tome or two on css - I'm
running low on time for this :)?
Thanks

Spry is part of Adobe. This forum, though owned by Adobe, is
volunteer
staffed. By "our products" I was referring to my company's
products. We make
add-ons for Dreamweaver but we are an independent company
with our own
support system. Spry is very new and the documentation is not
really
targeted at beginners. It would seem you could benefit from
one-on-one
support, which you should be able to get by contacting Adobe
Customer
Support directly. I believe there are 2 or 3 free support
calls you can make
before charges are incurred. But you might get lucky and find
someone on the
forum who has the time and the knowledge to help you - it's
just not
guaranteed that you will.

Images and rollover images

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/captivate/cp/using/WSA2E0A6EA-A192-4d38-8C15-5E589ACEF374.html

It is not really necessary to store them in the Gallery, you can just put them where you want and point to them using the folder icon that appears next to Image Button when you choose that type. Pointing to one out of the 3 images is sufficient, if the 3 images are in the same folder and have the correct names xxxxx_up, xxxxx_down, xxxxx_over (xxxx is the name of your choice, do not make it too long or you'll have issues with the width of the dropdown list).
I'm a bit wondering about the subject line and your sentence '... one can use an image I created in PS'.... If you are using Captivate 6 another way is to use a shape that can be converted to a button and fill the shape with the image. Difference with normal buttons is that you only have two states (automatically, you do not need to create two images): up and pressed.

Bringing up a button and an image using video cue points

Hi,
I have a 4:40 long video and I'd like to show a button and a background image (or a movie clip) at 4:30 and I want them stay on the screen after the video is complete. If someone could give me a step by step instructions for this I'd really appreciate it. By the way I use Flash CS5.
Have a great day!
Veli

Sorry if I confused you. Here's a little sample video I'd like to show you (only 10 seconds), so I can explain it more clearly. This is exactly the same thing except it is 10 seconds instead of 5 minutes.
http://www.relationsmith.com/hhosp/slideshow/jan12/slideshow.html
In this project I have 6 layers (from top to bottom); action, replay, button, bg, frame, video. The video plays and the button (btn1) comes up at 7, then the video ends and replay button comes up. So far so good.
When I hit replay button to watch the video again, the video starts to play but this time the video is on the top of everything. I cant see the blue frame, at the 7th second the button activates but is hidden behind the video, and so is the replay button. I think the answer lies in this code:
function replay(e:MouseEvent):void {
    addChild(flv_pb);
    flv_pb.play();
You said this code "addChild(flv_pb);" would put the video on the top of everything. So I was wondering if there is a way to play the video without having it at the top most depth. I'm pasting the entire code for your reference.
Thanks!
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
replay_btn.visible=false;
btn1.visible=false;
flv_pb.addASCuePoint(7,"show");
flv_pb.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT,cuepointF);
flv_pb.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickButton);
replay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, replay);
function completeF(e:Event):void{
replay_btn.visible=true;
function replay(e:MouseEvent):void {
    addChild(flv_pb); // moves flv_pb to the top most depth
    flv_pb.play();
function cuepointF(e:MetadataEvent):void{
if(e.info.name=="show"){
bg.play()
btn1.visible=true;
var myURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://www.ctwolfpackyouth.org/");
function clickButton(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
          navigateToURL(myURL);

Flash - how is the HD support - and HUGE image resolution question

Hello Flash Forums,
It's been a while since I posted, but I would love to get some information from some of the old pros on here as to best practices using flash for large scale environmental displays:
1. Flash supports High Definition correct? I did a google search, and see that it does - but unsure whether I need a plug-in or it's just a setting? My question is more along the lines of - can the flash animation be highDef, or only the videos it displays?
2. I am working on a very large (like 40ft tall) environmental graphic, and curious if anyone can tell me how you deal with images at that size? I remember vaugely, that they don't need to be 300dpi, but do i still need to maintain a certain resolution?
Thanks for any help you can provide~!
B

Any limiting factors you'll be dealing with are likely more to do with what will actually be running/playing your Flash content and feeding that to this display. Whoever is responsible for setting up the computer system that displays this could answer that. Find out the resolution of their display set up. It will probably be a projection setup, that shows whatever media at a blown-up size. Ask them if 1080 HD video will work, and if they have used that before, and how did it look, etc.
If the display ends up having a resolution of something significantly higher than what a graphic designer's "high" resolution monitor is, you don't necessarily have to have your Flash showing at 100% and fill all those pixels. You can have good results creating your Flash at a reasonale width & height, and then scaling that to 150%, 200%, etc.
Flash has no problems dispalying 1080 HD video, and nothing is needed other than the Flash plugin. There continue to be Flash Player updates for improved video support, so be sure you get the latest version installed on whatever computer is playing this. YouTube started showing full HD size (1080) a while ago, and so you can always refer to that site to see how smooth the videos are.

Gapless play back and itunes auto art question

How do you know that albums are suppose to be Gapless? I assume that you just have to know.
I have some albums that won't retrieve artwork from itunes store yet and the Cd's are in the store. Is there anyways to fix this?
Also do you know any good site for organizing and maintaining your itunes.
Thanks a bunch

My understanding is that iTunes automatically detects if your albums are gapless or not. Gapless CDs that I've ripped have remained gapless when played back in both iTunes and my Nano.
You can manually set albums to gapless by selecting all the tracks in that album, pressing CMD-I and setting the Gapless option.

Not able to highlight and select answers to question slides in Captivate6

I have published my projects to html5 in captivate 6. I find that many of my slides do not respond to clicking the correct answers. The slides that Do work allow me to highlight the desired answer and click it to select it? How do I solve this problem? Thanks

Which 6 version? I'm asking this because if your version number is ending on 199 (I know several users who still have that one), you have to upgrade ASAP to 6.0.1.240.

Rollover images don't show up

I have a menu in which the menu items change color when the
user rolls the mouse over them. I am trying to recreate this using
rollover images. I have inserted two rollover images on the slide.
Only the first one shows up. For the second one, you can see the
mouse change when you roll over the target area, but the image
itself does not show up. The image should appear in the target
area. The first and the second image are close but do not overlap.
Also, I've played with the order, and that doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Hi all
I'm updating this thread for anyone that may have been
following and anyone that may search later. I connected with Linda
and observed her project. Unfortunately, that failed to reveal
anything immediately correctable. So I asked her to send me the
project so I might have a play. Here is what corrected the issue.
The image used for the rollover was in .BMP format. While it
appeared just fine from the Library, it refused to show itself on
rollover until it was converted to a different format. I converted
from .BMP format to .PNG. After re-importing back into the project
as .PNG, the rollover magickally appeared.
Go figure! Rick

Applescript - ID - CS3 or CS4 - create array containing front/back order of objects?

Hi all,
I'm looking for ideas of how to do this: create a layer for each object in the document, then move each object onto it's own layer — and preserve front/back arrangment. In other words, 10 objects = 10 layers, without changing stacking order.
So far I've got it creating unique layers and moving objects onto each. . .but i'm looking for the most efficient way to have it handle the original stacking order.
I suppose i can start learning how to build an array, then re-order it by index (which i understand indicates front/back), and then create layers following that order? If that's the best way, I'd LOVE some direction on how to code that. Or, if there a more elegant solution?
Thanks for any help!
CS3 is ideal but can use CS4 if necessary (or CS5 if there's some killer function in there)

It's a vertical imposition script. Items from the top half of each page are moved to a different page (using a temp page as a staging area), then pages are reshuffled. Here is the script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
set myDocument to active document
save myDocument
set fp to file path of myDocument
set DocName to name of myDocument
if DocName ends with ".indd" then
set DocName to characters 1 thru -6 of DocName as string
end if
set myFileName to fp & DocName & "-imposed.indd" as string
tell myDocument
repeat with i from 2 to 7
set myPage1 to page i
set myPage2 to page (16 - i)
set myTempPage to page 15
set myItems1 to (every item of all page items of myPage1 whose (class is in {rectangle, oval, polygon, graphic line, text frame}) and (parent's class is spread))
set myItems2 to (every item of all page items of myPage2 whose (class is in {rectangle, oval, polygon, graphic line, text frame}) and (parent's class is spread))
repeat with myPageItemCounter from (count myItems1) to 1 by -1
set myitem to item myPageItemCounter of myItems1
set locked of myitem to false
set mybounds to geometric bounds of myitem
if item 3 of mybounds < 52.5 then
tell myitem to move to myTempPage
tell myitem to move to {item 2 of mybounds, item 1 of mybounds}
end if
end repeat
repeat with myPageItemCounter from (count myItems2) to 1 by -1
set myitem to item myPageItemCounter of myItems2
set locked of myitem to false
set mybounds to geometric bounds of myitem
if item 3 of geometric bounds of myitem < 52.5 then
tell myitem to move to myPage1
tell myitem to move to {item 2 of mybounds, item 1 of mybounds}
end if
end repeat
set myTempItems to (every item of all page items of myTempPage whose (class is in {rectangle, oval, polygon, graphic line, text frame}) and (parent's class is spread))
repeat with myPageItemCounter from (count myTempItems) to 1 by -1
set myitem to item myPageItemCounter of myTempItems
set mybounds to geometric bounds of myitem
tell myitem to move to myPage2
tell myitem to move to {item 2 of mybounds, item 1 of mybounds}
end repeat
end repeat
delete page 15
move last page to after page 1
move last page to after page 3
move last page to after page 5
move last page to after page 7
move last page to after page 9
move last page to after page 11
save myDocument to myFileName
end tell
end tell
