Buttons inactive when the playbar reaches the project end

Hi
I am using Captivate 6.
I am creating a standard UI template file. I have added a smartshape button that opens up a PDF file for download/ save. This button is visible and active throughout the Captivate project right from the first slide (timing set to Rest of the project).
The problem is when the playbar reaches the end of the project, this button gets inactive.
I checked in the forums and found a similar query in this post.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3735858#3735858
Based on the info there, I checked the frames in the project (in Project Info) and the last frame where the playbar ends. I noticed that the last frame of the playbar is 2 frames more than the frames mentioned in Project Info.
Again, taking a cue from Lilybiri's comments in that thread, I added one advanced action at the On Exit of the last slide:
Expression: cpCmndGotoFrame = cpInfoCurrentFrame - 2. (to send last frame count back by 2 frames)
Assign: cpCmndPause with 1 (to pause the last slide, so that the learners can do any other task on the last slide if they wish to)
This solves the problem.
However, is there a way to make this button remain active without using advanced actions? This template will be used by some newbies to Captivate. I feel they might think that assigning advanced actions is complicated task and hesitate to use this one.

Thanks from me as well. I'm trying to make an interactive house simulation game (basic) and hit this issue where the timeline needs to skip to the next segment as several options are available per room (listed one after the other in the timeline). Flash isn't particularly easy to use when it comes to this kind of thing. Is Flash Catalyst CS5 more suited to this?

HT4847 Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

I found the solution .,,,
1) click on your current plan and press done your payment details will appear .
2) the first section is your plan and there is a botton "change" click on it
3) it will take you back to the upgrade options
4) press on the downgrade options
5) choose the 5 GB and the done botton will be enabled
6) click on it you'll back to the step number 2 , here read carefully you'll see that your changes will take effect after the current plan expired with the date.

Do you know which iMac model family you have? There are four families dating back to 1998. Troubleshooting depends on that. This forum covers the first three families made from 1998 to 2005. iMacs newer than that get a separate forum.
Do you have the system disks that came with the computer? If so, and depending on model, you may be able to start from the CD/DVD and then make the jump to booting normally.
All computers has a little battery on the logic board that holds date, time, and some important startup parameters when the compuer is taken off wall power for a short time. If your battery was very old and died, then the settings the computer needs to start may have been lost when you unplugged it. For some Mac modles, booting from a CD or DVD gets around this temporarily, but ultimately the battery needs to be replaced. The internal batteries are cheap but can be hard to access on some iMacs like the G4 "desklamp" model

Why does Firefox not scroll the page when selecting & the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen

When selecting text on a screen page, when the cursor reached the bottom edge of the screen Firefox (9.0.1) does not scroll. Other programs (including IE) do so, so it does not appear to be a local computer problem.
I cannot see a setting on the options page that enables/disables this so what is the solution?

Enable the Add-ons bar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars; Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F) to make Firefox scroll the page while selecting text.

While trying to restore os x and erase content, some problem about voice software came up and the computer asked me to restart and try again by clicking restart button. When I did this, the machine went to a gray start up screen and will not progress.

While trying to restore os x and erase content on my MacBook pro, some problem about voice software came up and the computer asked me to restart and try again by clicking restart button. When I did this, the machine went to a gray start up screen with an apple and will not progress. I've waited more than 30 minutes and tried restarting again by holding the power button. Also, restore cd 1 will not eject so the computer will no longer move past the gray screen with spinning circle. Restore CDs had never beeused and were still in packaging in the original box. Ran hardware test just to check, and it came back as normal. Now what? I live nowhere near a genius bar :(

That's called a kernel panic...
Since the install disc won't eject, try starting up while holding down the C key. If the Mac won't boot while holding down the C key, try ejecting disc by either holding down the mouse while starting up or holding down the Eject key while starting up.
Try booting from your install disc so you can run Disk Utility in case the startup disk needs repairing.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your startup disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free space.

Hi,
i have set up a small test case on apex.oracle.com and I receive the same error if I use download format.
I have a table
test_blob (id number, name varchar2(10), blobcont blob)
If I create IR like
select
    id,
    name,
    blobcont
from test_bloband then I define download format I hit the error.
If you want this to work you have to change your query to
select
    id,
    name,
    dbms_lob.getlength(blobcont) blobcont
from test_blobAnd then again define download format for blob on blobcont column.

The number of display columns in the report reached the limit" Interactive Report

I get the error message of "The number of display columns in the report reached the limit" when trying to display less than 100 (100 is limit) columns when an aggregate has been created.   This does not happen when an aggregate has not been added to the IR report. It seems to happen because I have a control break on as well. When I turn off the control break it works but is not the result that we want. Interesting enough, if I filter the results down to 500 rows it works just fine. Does oracle treat aggregates as columns!? This is a really odd issue that I really need to clear up.

Where did the iPod shortcut button go when you double click the home button and scroll to the left?

After upgrading to iOS 4.3.2 I have noticed that when I double click the home button the multitasking tray pops up when you scroll to the left the ipod shortcut is no longer there, it has been replaced by a safari shortcut. Is this right??

Reset
Have you tried rebooting the device? Hold down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. If this fails, connect it to a power source and try again holding them for at least 20 seconds.
Reset Home Screen
Reset All Settings
Reset all settings on Device. On your Device, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset All Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and Appleid login information, but can result in a more stable function. On the final screen you will restore your backup or “Setup as new device” to keep current info intact.

I closed then reopened my navigation toolbar using the Alt button. When it re-opened the add-ons(?) that were on it were no longer there. I'm specifically looking for two add-ons that took me to "Major Television channels" and "Minor television channels".

I would be content just to have the add-ons back, the one that allowed me to view ABC, NBC, CBS and a handful of other channels, and the one that connected me to the National Geographic channel and I believe some of the Discovery, etc channels . I can get to the Nat Geo if I go through my history but most of the other channels I can't. I've had MozFire on my computer for a while but mainly used Google Chrome until last week when I decided to check out MozFire. As has happened in the past I found myself really liking this program and wondering why I haven't been using it all along.

Ribbon Button activating when a field in the Document / List item metadata = 'Yes'

Im hoping this is an easy answer as Im sure it must be, but my mind has gone blank!
Basically I have created a button to run some javascript code to fire a custom (manual) workflow on an item that is selected in a Document Library (or List)
I have set the ribbon button to only be active IF one item is selected in the Library but what I want now is to only activate the ribbon button if one item is selected AND IF a specific field in the item = 'Yes' (The field in this case being called 'DraftDoc'
[Choice field]).
Ive tried a few methods but none seem to work and VS2012 errors on debugging.
My code to enable the button so far is:
// Method to enable/disable the button on the ribbon.
function EnableSubmitDraftDocument() {
// request number of selected items.
var items = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems();
var count = CountDictionary(items);
// only return true is a single item is selected.
return (count == 1);
Can anyone help me with the extra code I need?
Cheers

Hi,
According to your description, you have been able to set the ribbon button to be actived if one item is selected. Now, you want to activate the ribbon button if there is one
item selected and the value of "DraftDoc" column is "Yes".
We can achieve it by getting the value of this "DraftDoc" column of the selected item to check whether it is "Yes".
Here is a code demo about checking whether the value of "DraftDoc" column of the selected item for your reference:
function retrieveSelectedFiles()
this.clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = this.clientContext.get_web();
this.selectedItem = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems();
this.selectedList = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList();
if (CountDictionary(selectedItem) == 1)
this.listItem = web.get_lists().getById(this.selectedList).getItemById(this.selectedItem[0].id);
this.clientContext.load(this.listItem);
this.clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, onRequestSucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, onRequestFailed));
function onRequestSucceeded() {
str = listItem.get_item('DraftDoc');
if(str == 'Yes')
str+="Yes";
alert(str);
function onRequestFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Error: ' + args.get_message());

Adobe Captivate 4 - How do I include the playbar in the movie, rather than below it?

Hi,
As the title says, how can I have the playbar displayed inside the movie window rather than as a seperate entity below it?
We used Captivate 1 up until recently to make our training videos. We would use the playbar "PresenterSilver" and then insert text boxes into the slides as a sort of guide as to what section the user was currently viewing. We would also use this to show the author and the date. A static image was used as a background also (this was created in Fireworks to look the same as the PresenterSilver background).
This setup worked fine for all our movies. However when we upgraded to Captivate 4 the PresenterSilver skin is no longer there. The playbar is also no longer part of the movie but is below the window.
I was wondering if it possible to include the playbar the way it used to be. If not, then can someone suggest a work-around? I was looking at it earlier and I see that you can use image files as backgrounds around the player. This is not ideal as I think that the images remain static for the entire movie. And we could not have a set image (e.g. Part 1 for slides 1-3, Part 2 for 4-6 etc.) for different slides, it would have to be the same the entire way through. If I am mistaken please let me know.
Thanks for your help,
Eoin.

Hi there
Unfortunately Adobe changed the playing field with version 4. You are no longer able to have the playbar occupy part of the main movie.
Please report this as a bug to the development team. The link is in my sig.

AFter upgrading to FF7, I get certificate errors & only see text & broken links when trying to reach the FF Addons website. How can I correct this?

I am currently at work, & this issue is occuring on my home computer--which I cannot reach at the moment.

I now find that even when I attempt to visit the FF Addon page from work, using either IE or FF 6, gives me the same problems. & the system date & time on my work computer is correct.

How do I hide the area left behind when the playbar is hidden?

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 7 and one of my module's design requires me to display the playbar only on specific slides in the training. I've set my playbar to NOT show on overlay because that would cover up the lower section of the application screenshot, so now the playbar is displayed outside the canvas area and doesnt interfere with anything on screen. The problem is that on the siides where the playbar is hidden (Assign cpcmdShowPlaybar = 0), there is a colored strip at the bottom of the screen (for where the playbar would have been had it's visibility been turned on), which I don't want to have.
How do I achieve this?
Thanks,
Sean

Hi there
One thought would be to note how much space this occupies. Then resize the project so it's taller by the same amount while pushing the existing content to the top. Then enable the playbar overlay. Then you could capture an image of the playbar and manipulate it so everything on it appears to be in a disabled state. Perhaps even superimposing words to the effect of the playbar being disabled. Then when the playbar disappears, the user has a clue that the playbar has been disabled.
Just thinking out loud... Rick
