Can't save/update advanced action with specific slide set to jump to

Using version 6. Experienced with Advanced Actions, but no clue what's causing this. If I include a "Jump to Slide" pointing at a certain slide in the project the action will not save or update. I can point at any other slide except the one I need. Nothing especially unique about the slide in question.

When you save/update, does it give any error/prompt?
Try creating a fresh script just with the action to jump to 'that' slide.
Also check from a regular button, if you can set on Success to jump to the particular slide.
Thanks,

How can I combine advanced actions with the branching view?

I am creating a branching scenario in Captivate 7. It's fairly involved and I'd like to keep track of it with the branching view. But, I understand that if I use an Advanced Action, it won't show up in the view. My slides track a conversation that goes down different routes based on the selected answers. I give the user 3 smart shapes that I'm using as a button. When they press the button, I want to change two variables and then jump to another slide. If I put this all into one advanced action, I have to write an advanced action for each button and it won't show the branches.
Is there a way to execute an action that will change my variables. Then, have it jump to a slide. I've been trying to give the user 1 attempt, execute my advanced action that will change the variables, and then have the Last Attempt jump to a slide, but that doesn't seem to work.
Any other ideas?

I just upgraded to version 8, hoping for a solution.
I know that I can write an Advanced Action for every slide like this:
It changes my variables and then advances to the right slide. But, I'll have 100+ slides when I'm done and I was hoping that could make this a little easier. AND, I can't track it on the branching view.
I was hoping that I could make this work:
I could use an Advanced Action to change my variables (I would only need a few) and then have it jump to a slide. This would show up in the Branching view. But, I can't get that work.
Are there any other options?

HT1338 i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created.

i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.

You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
Hope that helps.

HT1311 How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID

How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID. I have apps that I got for free, and some that I have purchased. I had to create a new Apple ID because I don't have a credit card now.

Apps will always be tied to the ID in which they were purchased or downloaded under. You can not change this unless you buy or download the free app using the new ID.

Really need to be able to save back to the older versions, in order to output vector files on an older plotter. Running an older application of Mac sign from Softeam, can't get in touch with them. Total pain to upgrade, been dumbing down for too many years.

How can I create Droplets using Actions with several Stops?

My Droplets (using Actions but with several Stops) work very nicely when using a single image source. However when using multiple images thing start to go crazy.
At the first stop on the first image a pop-up emerges asking me to continue to the next image or stop. If I select stop I can continue with the Action for this first image and complete the Action on that first photo.
If I select continue it halts the action on that photo at the first stop then opens the 2nd image and repeats the action to the first stop on the next photo then the pop-up appears again and the cycle repeats.
How can I create Droplets using Actions with several Stops?

I don't believe this is possible when starting from Java. I think you need to start with a WSDL to get this to work. I am curious as to why having multiple WSDLs is an issue, would you care to eloborate.
Thanks

Repeat advanced action over 3 slides

Hi there,
I have an advanced action that shows an image and some text when entering a slide depending on the users selection in a drop down box earlier in the program. This works fine, however I would like this same result to show on 3 different slides.
I though setting the image and text to "show for rest of project" and using the same advanced action on the slides would work - but no!
Can anyone help? It is going to take so long to copy all the images and text, rename them and then copy and edit the advanced action to suit!
Thanks

This is an old post, and not everything is valid anymore:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/playing-hide-and-seek-with-captivate-objects Now you can hide/show an object timed for the rest of the project anywhere.
You have 7.0.1.237, which means you can have shared actions. And this will be worthwhile since you have to use it on multiple courses.
For reasons of file size, and also because it keeps the same ID, I would plead to show/hide the same group (hope you grouped the text + image).
You create an conditional advanced action (one decision for each choice from the dropdown interaction), as you have already done. After testing on one slide (to see if it is OK), turn it into a shared action, and use that On Enter for each slide where you want to see the group. I know, you'll have to choose parameters each time, but a shared action is not adding to file size as do duplicates of advanced actions and you don't have to type in new names for the advanced actions on each slide.
Create a standard advanced action, that hides all groups, turn that it in a shared action as well, and trigger it On Enter for each slide where you need to hide the objects. No need for a conditional action there.

Open Director with specific panel set

Hi,
It is possible to set the default configuration of Director?
In other words it is possible open Director with specific panel set?
If yes how?
Thanks.

1. First, get the layout you want.
2. Go to
Edit > Preferences > General....
3. Click the checkbox - Save Window Positions On Exit.
4. Exit Director.
5. Open Director and go back to the General Preferences and uncheck the Save Windows Position property.
Now when you close Director, it won't save the positions and will used the last saved setup.

AppleScript To Save Messages As PDFs With Specific Naming Convention

I am looking for an Applescript that:
1: Prompts and allows the user to select one or more Apple Mail email messages from within Mail (10.4, 10.5, 10.6).
2: Prompts and allows the user to select a save-to folder.
3: For each message, saves it as a PDF file in the save-to folder, using the following naming convention for the PDF file:
"YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email From FIRSTNAME LASTNAME - SUBJECT",
"YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email To FIRSTNAME LASTNAME - SUBJECT",
where in the email date-sent stamp (if I am the sender) or date-received stamp (if I am the recipient):
YYYY = the year
MM = the two-digit month
DD = the two-digit day
HH = the two-digit hour (in 24-hour time)
MM = the two-digit minute
SS = the two-digit second
FIRSTNAME is the email sender's first name for email that I receive (or is the email recipient's first name for email that I send)
LASTNAME is the email sender's last name for email that I receive (or is the email recipient's first name for email that I send)
SUBJECT = the email's subject line
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan - Status Of Payroll Updates.pdf
For example: 2010-04-10 16.33.55 Email To Sue Anderson - RE Status Of Payroll Updates.pdf (Colon omitted after "RE".)
4: For each attachment to the message, saves it as a PDF file in the same directory using the naming convention:
"YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email From FIRSTNAME LASTNAME Z Attachment - NUMBER - FILENAME",
where:
YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email From FIRSTNAME LASTNAME = as above
NUMBER = an integer representing the attachment number (1, 2, ...) sorted according to filename alphabetical order
FILENAME = the name of the file attached to the email, including its extension (.docx, .xlsx, etc.)
The letter "Z" sorts the attachment PDFs after its respective parent email in the directory.
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan Z Attachment - 1 - List Of Suggestions To Moore.doc.pdf
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan Z Attachment - 2 - Proposed Salary Adjustments.xls.pdf
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan Z Attachment - 3 - Salary History.pps.pdf
Note: The email attachment may consist of a PDF or MS Office file (Word, Excel, Power Point); however, a smart implementation will be able to handle any attachment kind. If the attachment is a PDF file, then save it "as is" using the stipulated naming convention, without passing it through Distiller.
Thank you.
Kurt Todoroff

Well, that's quite a spec sheet.
Here's a start, you can easily edit the script to get what you need:

How can I use an advanced action to show a sequence of images by clicking on a single button?

I'm trying to make Captivate 7 project where I have several slides where images are revealed one after the other. I wanted to insert a button along the lines of click here for next image but can't work out how to write the script for it. The Adobe information is next to useless and I can't find anything which breaks down these processes from scratch. Any help appreciated!

You're a little early but help is on the way. There are a couple of new e-books being written about using Advanced Actions.
One of them is currently available as a discounted pre-release here:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/e-books/guide-to-adobe-captivate-advanced-actions-01
Lilybiri is also writing an Advanced Actions Cookbook as well.
Your specific use case could be handled a number of different ways:
Have your images on different slides and use an identical button to jump to each slide.
Use Conditional Advanced Actions and User Variables to check which images have been viewed and then show the next image in a series. This would allow everything to be done on the same slide but is a more advanced technique that may be beyond your abilities until you are more versed with how variables and advanced actions work.

Crash when creating advanced action with "open URL"

Hi there,
my crash problem (captivate 5.5, win 7 64 bit, adobe PP CS6 installed):
On one slide of my project, I have a slide video and a button at a certain point. First I created an advanced action (open URL in a new window and pause slide video). Then I saved the action and assigned it to the button. Til here, all was ok.
Then, I wanted to change the URL in the advanced action.
When I opened the created action, the "open URL"-parameter disappeared, but the table row was shown empy:
Then I wanted to assign a new URL. After creating a new "open URL"-paramter I wanted to save the changes. And then captivate crashed with this fatal error:
And from this time, every time I want to change - or even create a new action with the above mentioned parameters - captivate crashes.
can anyone reproduce this error? Is this a bug (or a feature ;-), or did I something wrong?
Thanks
Markus

Hi Aditya,
thanks for your post.
2. Create a new project and try the same thing
I created a new project....same problem...
If you face the same channel, then try recreating the Adobe Captivate preferences. Please follow the steps mentioned here :
1. Close Adobe Captivate.
2. Locate the preference folder:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5.5 folder
3. Rename the preference folder.
I didn't found a preference folder in the captivate 5.5 folder. Here is my captivate 5.5 folder:
what to do now?? Now I am at a loss...

Ready-only issue. Can't save files or highlight with Reader 11.7.1 & Kitkat 4.4.2 Samsung Tab 3

Hello,
I got several updates last weekend. Since then I can't save my pdf files properly. Before everything was fine.
When I want to open a pdf now - a prompt pops-up, saying this:
Read-only document
To modify this document save a copy on your device. The document will be available to other applications on this device.
I found another thread which describes the same error - but I already have 11.7.1 with 4.4.2 and it does not work.
Can't save files or highlight them on Reader 11.7.0 in Kitkat 4.4.2 Acer A1 Tablet

Are these files stored on your external SD card or your internal storage? Android KitKat has added restrictions for third party apps from modifying content on the external SD Card. You can find some more information here: KitKat and SD cards — what's fixed, what's broken and what's misunderstood | Android Central
Could you please confirm if the issue exists for files on the SD card only?

I can´t save images in .jpg with "Camera Raw" software from my Elements 6.0

I have Photoshop Elements 6.0, I bought it last year and untill now, it´s OK. Now I´m beginning working with .RAW files, but I can´t save them as .JPG after I modified them with the "camera Raw" software. I can only save pictures in .DNG. ¿Could someone please tell me how to save it as .JPG?
I consider this is a basical function wich, for example, Photoshop CS3 does.
Bye.

Thank you very much for your answers.
Daniel.

The Save button in the raw converter is the DNG converter. To save in any
standard image format, you must open the image in the editor, then save it
there.

Can't save updates

Often I get an error message (-43) that I can't save a file that
I have already saved. Once I run permissions I can
usually continue normally. How can I prevent this from
happening (or can I?)

Sorry my post comes out alone. I'm not familiar yet with this forum. In fact I wanted to add this as a reply or extra information to others that had the same problem. But I can't even find this post line I first saw up to now.
