Buttons Script Appear After

Good day --
I am working on a captivate file that needs to have the user go through all buttons, and once all 7 buttons are clicked the user can then move on with the project. I am having a hard time trying to figure out where I can set my button count to 0 then to 1 in order to make the button to proceed active.
I have seen this problem answered on the forums before which shows me that it can be done. However I can not fully understand how to set this advance action up.

I tried that but I could be doing it wrong.
I downloaded and received a zip folder.
The actual folder is entitled with the .cptl extension.
inside is .cpad, .cpi, .eptd, .cpth, and folder with compressed_data,
objects, uncompressed_data that are all .cpd files. None of these are
opening in captivate. When I go to New Project from Template or New Template
Project.
I've tried opening the Captivate file I am working on and dragging the
files. I assume I am opening it incorrectly.

Buttons only appear after menu loops

I am new to encore and I am having some problems. I have set up my menu to loop and a certain point and I have put all my buttons on the menu. When I go to preview the menu, the buttons only appear after the menu loops for the first time. I am sure there is a simple solution, but if someone could help me out that would be great.

>Please provide a bit more detail about your Menu and your Project. The Buttons should appear, when the Menu is navigated to.
Yes, after the menu enters the loop point that you can define for each of your menu.

Buttons not appearing after given time

Captivate is driving me absolutely mad...
I am attempting to make an elearning app with audio narration
on some slides, and some quiz slides and branching. I have set the
default slide display time to 600 sec. I am using audio files for
narration and want captions to appear at strategic points in the
slide. I made the captions and positioned them where I want them on
the timeline, then changed their properties to "Display for rest of
slide".
When I preview the slide in the Captivate interface, it works
fine, but when I publish the project (or do a full preview), the
audio plays but the captions don't appear unless I click on the
"Play" button in the Flash player controls underneath.
I have downloaded Captivate 4, as I was having similar
problems in version 3 (except that in version 3 the audio didn't
play either!) Was surprised to find the same problem - surely this
is a really standard thing to do... so what am I doing wrong?

Hi there
600 seconds? Seriously? OMG, that's ten minutes!
Personally, I would never recommend having a slide longer
than maybe ten
seconds. I'm not sure how you even manage a timeline that
long.
At any rate, whatever floats your boat I suppose. My guess is
that you have some object (Click Box, Button or Text Entry Box)
that is sitting on the timeline and pausing things before the
button you wish to see has a chance to appear.
Cheers... Rick

Buttons not appearing after exporting to Interactive PDF

I created buttons on my master page in InDesign with the event "on click" and actions "go to first page", "go to last page", "go to previous page", and "go to next page". Then I applied my master page to all the pages in my document. On certain pages I override the item on the master page and gave the button a different action (go to text anchor). Then I exported to Adobe PDF (Interactive). When I view the PDF, most of the Master Page buttons do not appear. This doesn't happen every time. I have created documents that work with this setup, but this one document will not work properly. Any suggestions?

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

Appear after all buttons clicked

OK, I have a relatively easy question for you guys. I have a slide with four persistent buttons on it and I want a link to the next slide to appear after the four buttons have been clicked. What confuses me, however, is that I'm not sure where to put the "Advance to Next Slide" button on the timeline.
I'm assuing that the problem is that I have all the buttons set to pause at the same time, but I'm not sure what the alternative would be.
I've attached pictures of my slide and timeline below. Any feedback you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks.

OK Walter, then you really need advanced actions for the buttons. Noellet gave some ideas but it will not work if the user can click multiple times on each button, sorry Noellet. I will try to explain why: in your scenario the Next button will also appear if the user clicked four times on the same button
Walter, you need to create one user variable for each button, I will label them v_one, v_two, v_three, v_four. You do not need to give those variables a start value at all. They will be set to 1, when the corresponding button is clicked the first time. You will need a conditional advanced action for each button, and as Noellet correctly pointed out, the 'Next' button has to be initially invisible.
Each conditional advanced action will have to do several things, showing the text caption and hiding all other text captions, set the value of its variable to 1, check the value of all the user variables and if they are all=1 the next button will be made visible. Easiest way will be to create indeed a counter variable as well v_counter.
Would use 2 decisions: first will be a mimick of a standard action, second will be a really conditional action. For the first button, where the Text Caption is TC1 this will be:
First decision: IF 1 = 1     (will always be true, so THEN actions will always be executed
                    THEN      Show TC1
                                   Hide TC2
                                   Hide TC3
                                   Hide TC4
                                   Assign v_one with 1
                                   Expression v_counter = v_one + v_two
                                   Expression v_counter = v_counter + v_three
                                   Expression v_counter = v_counter + v_four                    need 3 expressions to calculate v_counter
                                   Assign rdcmndGotoFrame with rdinfoCurrentFrame      to rewind the playhead
Second decision IF v_counter = 4
                         THEN Show BtNext      shows the Next button
                         ELSE Continue
Did not try it out, let me know if it works, logic is OK

Start won't appear after clicking start button or win key on keyboard

It's happened after update to 9926. First start menu works properly but after reboot it broken-down. Right click works fine. Before reboot i disabled "Windows search" service but i don't think it related.

Start won't appear after clicking the start button or win key on keyboard on the second user account. It works fine on the administrator account. UAC changes have no effect. Re-booting has no effect. Build is 9926

After updating to IO7 (Iphone 5) I had to accept the user agreement for APPSTORE all over again, the thing is after reading 54 pages of user agreement, no accept button has appeared for me to move on.

No accept button has appeared for me to accept the APPSTORE user agreement.

Simple button script not working

I am using AS2 and need help figuring out why this simple button script is not working:
stop();
buttonWS1.onRelease = function(){
                    gotoAndStop("Stage1and2_Boss",4);
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
                    nextFrame();
//end
My buttons are the square letter-puzzles below. They are images that I converted to "symbols" (specifically, buttons). I put their names as above (buttonWS1, buttonWS2, etc.) in the "instance names" boxes.
I have no idea what is going on. Please help!

Hi -
1. Yes, buttonWS2 is the instance name
2. The only code attached to it is the code I pasted above.
3. onRelease does not execute because my trace statement does not appear in the output
Here is the modified code for buttonWS2:
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
                    trace("clicked!");
                    nextFrame();
Question: It shouldn't matter if I have commented-out code within that set of codes should it?:
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
          //if (puzzleschosenarray[0] == 2 || puzzleschosenarray[1] == 2) {
          // cannot be chosen -- make button non-functional
          //else{
                    //puzzleschosenarray[roundnumber-1] = 2;
                    trace("clicked!");
                    nextFrame();

How do I produce buttons that appear at the end of a motion background? Please Help!!!

I just began working with my new production premuim CS3 suite and the current project that I am working on calls for buttons that appear right the end of the motion background. I have tryed everywhich way I can think of to import and export buttons that I thought I created in after effects. The video background works but when it get to the last frame of the video the buttons do not work. Please someone who has a bit more experience working with encore and after effects help.

Button not appearing on quiz pass

Hi All,
I'm trying to get a button to appear on a quiz when someone passes successfully. This button will be a link to another .swf file that will pulled into the project in Aggregator. The link is working fine, but I cannot get the smartshape to appear successfully when the quiz is passed. I have used the cpInfoPassFail Advanced Action set to greater than 1, visibility is turned off and execute advanced action is set in the Action property box, but still it does not show. I've working round and round and circles with this all day, trying different advanced actions, visibility on, off... and nothing is working with it.
If anyone has any suggestions how and why this not working, I'd really appreciate it. I'm not finding Captivate particularly intuitive at the moment and am seriously considering heading over the Storyline.

cpInfoPassFail will never be greater than 1; it has only two values: 0 if failed, and 1 if passed. It is a boolean variable.
When looking at your action: I thought you wanted to open the URL using the shape button, but you put the command Open immediately after showing the shape? That part should be triggered by the shape button. I hope you configured it as a button?

Why new contacts are not appearing after some time?

I Am using iPhone6, iPad New and iPad mini. The contacts which I saved in iPhone are not appearing after some time. I don't know whether it is related with synchronisation of other devices. Please help me if you know the reason.

Hi,
Have you checked the filtering option in contacts? Open contact menu button > filter. Perhaps you have a filter hiding the contacts.
What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

Multitasking appears after only one click

Multitasking bar appears with just one click. Sometimes pushing Home Button does nothing and must be pushed again once. Sometimes Camera Button appears after touching Home Button only once.

Clicking once in a white space does not open the advanced editor.
This is only initiated if you click twice in a white space.
However, the point that some people keep clicking twice either because of their computing habits in a word processing package or otherwise has been taken on board by the developers. As you say, people like yourself found the pop up irritating and wanted it removed from so easily being selected.
You will be pleased to hear that if you update to 31.1.0 then you will find that accessing the advanced property editor has been prevented from opening using the double click.
The Thunderbird program is not stored in the same place as the Thunderbird Profile folders.
So updating via 'Help' > 'About Thunderbird'
click on 'Check for updates'
will not have any effect on folders.
You could also uninstall the current Thunderbird via Control Panel > Programs and Features and then download from here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all.html
However, it is always a good idea to backup your Profile just in case :)
You can use MozBackup tool to backup a Profile or use ImportExporttool to backup emails or you can manually copy the Profile folder.
Suggest you save all backups to an external storage device for safe keeping.
Here is info on Backup:

Disable page display when back button is pressed after logout

hi,
I dont want the old pages to appear once the back button is pressed after loggin g out. That is .... when logged in, if the user presses back button then his previous pages must be shown....but once the user logs out and then if he presses back button then some message like session has been closed....like message should be displayed.
Hope you understood the problem

If you expire a page then back button will not take it to the previous page.
expire is a HTTP-EQUIV meta tag in the header of the page. You can set the content to some time in the "past" when serving the page first time.
Expires
This tells the browser the date and time when the document will be considered "expired." If a user is using Netscape Navigator,
a request for a document whose time has "expired" will initiate a new network request for the document.
An illegal Expires date such as "0" is interpreted by the browser as "immediately." Dates must be in the RFC850 format, (GMT format):
<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT"> Hope this works for you, there are browser dependencies as well.

[CS5] InDesign Server holding onto script file after being executed?

Hello,
I've run into a scenario which we have a script file dynamically created, saved to disk, then sent to InDesign Server to be executed. The code that tells InDesign Server to execute the script will delete that script file after it's finished executing. This works MOST of the time. However, sometimes, we get IO Execeptions stating that the file cannot be deleted because it is still in use. It would appear that InDesign Server is possibly holding onto the script files maybe even for just a millisecond after it's finished executing.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I'm looking for possible things to check (maybe it's not even ID Server that is the problem). Or maybe there is some option within ID Server when executing scripts that would allow ID Server to remove the file instead of our .NET code?
Any advice/suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks!
-lhanneman

UPDATE:
It appears that this problem is related to IDS executing the script. I've narrowed the problem down by taking the script execution completely out of the equation. If my code saves the script to disk and attempts to delete it right after - it works every time. I'm also able to, within our .NET code, save the script to disk, open the file up, read a line out, close it, and then immediately delete it. ONLY when ID Server executes that script between writing the file and deleting the file do we have problems.
Has anyone ever encountered anything like this? It seems to be directly related to ID Server holding onto the file for too long.
Again, many thanks in advance for any help!
