Can Captivate 3 Support a Rollover and a Custom Button in the Same Area?

Hello,
I'm trying to create a functionality in a slide that includes both a custom button and a rollover text box.  I'd like both the button and the text box to occupy the same area and trigger off the same MouseOver action.
I'm finding that only one or the other will trigger on the MouseOver.  It seems like only the top-most object (whether it is the button or the rollover text box) will trigger on the MouseOver.
I've considered multiple workarounds, but each of them I've thought about tend not to fail for one reason or another.  Here's what I've considered so far:
Create a rollover slidelet.
          *  I can't find a way to import a button into the rollover slidelet.  Also, I can't use a rollover image in the slidelet because I need the _down, _up, and _over states.
Create a button with transparent properties outside the bounds of the actual button to include the rollover text.
          *  Since I have so many buttons in a row, there's no way to exclude certain portions of the button that might overlap the rest of the buttons.  Also, I don't want people to MouseOver where the text box might be to enable the button.
Create a click to jump to the button.
          *  This sacrifices the true functionality of the simulation.
Finally, I don't want to use any other program other than the Captivate series of programs to complete this action.  I know I can import an animation, but I currently can't support that as a solution.
I'm guessing that I've reached a Captivate limitation.  However, I figured I'd give a last ditch effort to see if there's anything out there that might be a clever workaround I can't figure out.
So, what do you all think?
Cheers,
Chris

Hi again
I would then surmise you find yourself upstream with no visible means of propulsion.
Please consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for this capability to be considered in the next version. (Link is in my sig)
I'm not sure how many folks would actually realize there are three states. The down state happens so briefly it's hardly noticeable.
Cheers... Rick

  • Can i install windows 7 and OS X together on the same Mac Book Pro?

    can i install windows 7 and OS X together on the same Mac Book Pro?

    You can do it either using Boot Camp or by running a virtual machine, such as Parallels Desktop (which I use) or VMFusion. I prefer the VM method, as I don't have to reboot using the handful of Windows applications that I use. And I can access my Windows apps just as I do my Mac apps - copy and paste between them, etc.
    I just upgraded from Parallels 7 to 8 and I'm quite happy with it, running Mountain Lion on a late 2011 MBP with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. I also have a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display and there are no problems with video drivers, etc.
    If I were you - unless I needed every inch of performance that running Boot Camp can bring - I'd go with a VM to run Windows. I can attest to the functionality of Parallels - perhaps others with experience with other VMs will chime in.

  • How can I listen to itunes and play a game at the same time on my ipad 4?

    How can I listen to itunes and play a game at the same time on my ipad 4? This means I need to run 2 apps at the same time itunes and my game.  The game has its own sound control so I can turn off its sound while i listen to itunes tracks.  But I don't know how to set it up so the ipad does both.

    Anytime you open an app that has a persistant sound stream - a movie, a podcast, some games - it will overide the music app's stream. nothiong you can do to change it.

  • How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?

    How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?
    I am playing music, by starting the Crash Baandicoot Nitro Kart 3D game it shuts off the music playing. Is there a way around this?
    It seems like this should be possible.

    Select the music play list you want to listen to and start it playing. Go back to the home screen and start the app you want to use, music will stop. Press the home button two time quickly and it will bring up a simple control for controling the music. This works for me with all of the apps I have purchased including games. Just a note you can pull up the same music control if the iPod is a sleep and locked by pressing the button three times quickly.

  • Can you run Lion os and Lion Server os on the same Mac mini?

    I'm a windows convert to Mac and I'm interested in running a standard Lion Client, but at the same time running Lion Server on the same Mac Mini (Server Edition).  My needs for the Lion Server OS is to handle e-mail, a Web Site, and file sharing between the server to a secondary PC, iPad, and iPhone.  But at the same time I wish to dive into the Mac (Apple) experience.  I just wish to be able to do this on the same machine.
    As a secondary question, is it possible to merge two different iTune Accounts into one?  Is it possible to share items purchased on one iTunes account with an iPad that is tied to a different iTunes Account?

    1. Yes, but you'll need separate partitions for each OS, or run the client OS in emulation.
    2. It isn't possible to combine the accounts, but a single iTunes library can contain content from multiple iTunes Store accounts.

  • Can I use a shuffle and a 1st gen on the same mac

    I use my 1st gen ipod for pod cast in the car. I want to get a shuffle to take just a few podcast with me when walking. Is it possible to use a shuffle and another i-pod on the same mac. can I manually transfer a couple of pod cast to a shuffle?
    Thanks
    Joe

    Itunes 4.9 is fine but I really would recommend getting the latest Ipod updater they just made another bug fix for the shuffle in the latest Ipod updater. http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

  • Can a single AE receive and deliver multiple signals at the same time?

    I've looked through the forums and the AE pdf manual and have not been able to find a definitive answer so far.
    We have a (all Apple) cafe in a remote location with no Apple support and we presently operate wireless music and wireless internet for customer use from one iMac and one AE. The iMac is also our cashier station. We have another iMac for customers who don't have their own laptops. The iMacs switch to screensaver displays promoting the cafe when not in use.
    Our wired TV monitors that are currently not associated with our AE display either satellite TV, cable TV or from DVD player using a manually switched hub with the three separate receivers wired to the hub.
    We want to add streaming TV from the internet to the TV monitors so we will have four sources. I am looking at connecting this internet streaming TV source to the TVs via AE hence I want to also allow the other TV sources to operate via AE. If possible, we would also like to switch in the screensaver from one iMac on a timed basis (or using Apple remote to one iMac) if there is nothing else of particular interest on the TVs.
    The AE has multiple ports that can be expanded using hubs that we can hopefully connect the existing 3 TV sources, and can receive / transmit to multiple computers but can it operate the iTunes, internet distribution, and TV output (with switching TV inputs via the iMac & AE Utility) at the same time or do we need multiple AEs and another computer?

    The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not have a TV or video output.
    The AEBS, just like any other router, supports multiple clients simultaneously. Of course there is always bandwidth limitations for any device. So in theory the AEBS can support all of that. In reality the performance of each service will depend on the bandwidth used by each and the bandwidth available. This is no different than any router.

  • Can I use DHCP snooping and IOS DHCP server on the same switch stack

    Hello,
    I am shortly going to be deploying a Cisco CallManager solution for a customer whose network comprises stacks of Catalyst 3850 switches.
    There is no separate core/server farm switch so the CallManager servers, voice gateways and IP phones will all plug into the same stack and be in the same VLAN (not my choice!).
    For security we want to enable DHCP snooping and were planning on using the IOS DHCP server on the Catalyst switch stack.
    Will this work? - when I enable DHCP snooping in networks with separate access layer switches I set the uplinks to the core as trusted links.
    I am not sure whether DHCP snooping will work in this case. Do I need to set the VLAN interface on the switch as trusted, is this even possible?
    Unfortunately I do not have access to a layer 3 switch to test this at the moment.
    Thanks

    Nope.  That's the issue.
    They'll sync on a third device acting as a hotspot, but the device sending a signal is not "on" the network it creates so the airport is all by itself on that network.  At least that is what it looks like to me.  Anyone have another take on it?  Seems pretty silly that an iPad can put out a wifi signal, an Airport Express can receive a wifi signal, and yet there is no simple way to get them to communicate under this particular condition.

  • WRT160 doesn't seem to be able to support both PC and Apple devices on at the same time

    we have 2 PCs, a macbook and an iphone. we use a cable modem with the WRT160 router. since thursday the 2 PCs can connect to the internet at the same time, but the mac then loses its connection as does the iphone. if the mac and iphone are connected, the minute we start up a PC, the mac and iphone lose their connection and can't reconnect. Apple couldn't help and said it was the router. Anyone have any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it?

    Open the router setup page and reduce the MTU to1400 and click save settings..Under the Wireless tab,Click on the subtab Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Now,check..

  • Can I use both Wifi and a Lan connection at the same time?

    With me back in the dorms I have been limited to a slower connection than what I would like. Now we are able to use both Wifi and a Lan line so I was wondering to somewhat "double" my speed if there was any way to use both connections at the same time.
    Now I know that you can have both plugged in at the same time, I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way that I could set programs to use one or the other? Or some kind of virtual desktop that is set to use the other connection or anything that would allow both be used at the same time.
    Or am I just wishing for something that doesn't have any possible way to work?

    You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
    Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
    Sorry.

  • How can i send multiple videos and photos, via mail, at the same time?

    you allowed to send only one video or 10(+) photos via mail.
    but can you send both at the same time? so 10(+) photos and a video (or more than one) in one mail?
    because if my mom has birthday pictures or something like that. She likes to be able to send it directly from her iphone to every person she knows in just one mail.
    anyone any tips or tricks?

    Those restrictions are generally part of the email provider, not just the phone. Attachments are restricted due to size, bandwith use, etc. Trying to send that much information in an email attachment is even restricted on a computer. Sharing via photo sites is generally a better option for large amounts of pictures and large video files.

  • Can I have an IPOD and an IPOD Shuffle at the same time?

    I have had my IPOD for almost 2 years. Recently as a gift I received an IPOD shuffle. Can I connect the shuffle to my pretty robust ITunes that is connected to my 20GB IPOD?
    I don't want to mess up my current library, so before I tried hooking up the shuffle, I wanted to make sure nothing bad would happen.

    As Samtherocker says, you can use two (or more) iPods with one computer; in fact, you can connect them both at the same time and iTunes will allow you to maintain them separately. The iPod preferences in iTunes will now have a drop down list when they're both connected and you can have separate preferences.
    This article goes into more details: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
    As an experiment, I connected all three of my iPods to my Powerbook and it worked flawlessly; the only problem I then had was that I ran out of USB ports, so I couldn't use my mouse. Time to get a wireless mouse methinks...

  • Can I connect an iMac AND a MacBook Pro at the same time on icloud ?

    I arrived without a problem connecting my MacBook Pro icloud but I can not open a session with my iMac when I get the Apple ID and my password and he said "The login is currently impossible.Try reconnecting" and below the two boxes there writes : "Apple ID or password not recognized". I do not understand why, while on the same iMac I connect without problem on www.icloud.com

    After 1 or 2 reboot system I managed was enter my MacBook Pro my AppleID and it is connected I managed so to have the flow of "Stream Photo" from my iPhone 4 S to my iPad 2 on the MacBook. But incomprehensible how the function "find my Mac" not recognize the MacBook Pro in "iCloud.com" or App in the iPhone 4 / iPad 2. Thus I do little "see the iMac, iPhone 4 and my iPad 2" and not the Macbook Pro !?!

  • Can i run 32 bit and 64 bit foxfire on the same vista PC, at different times?

    FF 3.6 crashed and froze my HP laptop with vista. I had it "repaired" at a local shop I have used for many years. They put 64 bit namorola on - all is ok but no flash. I also want to install ff 3,6 or earlier on the same PC - to use SEPARATELY one at a time. Can this be done?? Will the bookmarks, etc transfer??

    There will be no official 64 bit version of Firefox for Windows for some time, there are currently only test versions. I recommend not using the 64 bit version and just sticking with the official 32 bit version.

  • Can we have both 9i and 10g db running on the same machine

    Hi,
    I want to to exp/imp upgrade of my 9i db to 10g db.
    Can I have both 10g and 9i installed on the same server?
    Thanks,
    Kavitha

    Yes, provided that the HW, OS version and Patch level are certified for both 9i and 10g.
    Install 10g into a seperate ORACLE_HOME -- whether under the same "oracle" account or a different (e.g. "oracle10g" account).
    However, you should consider 11g as 10g is being desupported this month (i.e. no new patches / fixes will be available for 10g)
