Can Web Object be hidden?

I need to show a window with text on the same page as a Web Object. The text window appears with a button click. However, the Web Object is always on top. Is there a way to hide the Web Object temporarily, or, make it so it is not always on top?

Just checked it out and it was perfectly possible to have a text container (made it transparent, only text) on top of a web object, and have a (shape) button that makes it appear. Can you check the Timeline: is the text on this slide and is it on top of the Web ojbect widget?
And what do you mean by 'temporarily' hiding the web object?

Can I use JavaScript to force objects to overlap a Web Object in Captivate 7?

Hi, so I have all of these great ideas for using Web Objects to enhance my courses, but am discouraged by the fact that I can't seem to get anything to overlap a Web Object. The only thing I can seem to get to overlap a Web Object is another Web Object. I have found that buttons seem to still work under the Web Object (which is good) but I really would like to know of a way to allow things on the Captivate timeline to be viewed on top of them. Things like text fields and images.
I've seen posts about how to use JavaScript to have the menu show above Web Objects, but that code doesn't seem to work for regular objects. I read that Web Objects sit in an "<iframe>" tag and that that forces it to appear above everything else. I'm left wondering if it is possible to get around this by somehow putting Captivate objects in an <iframe> of their own with JavaScript? Or is there some other way? Does anybody know any JavaScript I can apply to Captivate objects to get them to appear above a Web Object?
Thanks,
Dan

So I have come to learn that the "<iframe>" tag for a Web Object is simply a window that sits on top of the course. Now I'm wondering if anyone has an effective method for importing flash quality animation (in whatever form) that can sit underneath of Captivate objects and still be HTML5 compliant?
Thanks,
Dan

Can't select local html files with web object in captivate 8

I can select pdf's via browse, but it I want to add local html files I have to type the path in manually. I'm guessing this is just a bug, I should be able to choose web pages for the web object even if they are local right?

Fireworks is a graphics editor that can export code; it is not an HTML/code editor.
If you have exported HTML from Fireworks, you ought to be able to re-import that, but I would think most people who use Fireworks exported code would just modify their Fireworks document and re-export. (Fireworks' code is not robust and it is only intended for mockups and prototypes. Fireworks is not intended for developing and maintaining live Web sites; Dreamweaver is.)
If your developer used Dreamweaver, then I really don't expect that Fireworks would be able to import that, nor any code that isn't in exactly the format that it can export. If you know your developer used Fireworks, then you need to look for .png files. Fireworks uses an enhanced version of the PNG format for its native document format.
If you are making small adjustments to your site, then you might be better off working in Dreamweaver. If you're doing a site re-design, then Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your design and producing your graphics, but you will, at some point, need to move over to Dreamweaver for coding.

Can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BW Bex Query

Hi Gurus,
I am aware BEX queries can access NearLine Storage data for reporting but can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BICS connection ( Bex Query as a Source).
Thanks,
Shak.

I would recommend to let your SAP Basis guys do a security trace on the SAP BW side and see if some authorization check for the user fails when trying to fetch data over the universe.

Problem with Jdeveloper and the Web Object Manager

I am trying to register a servlet through the web object manager.
As soon as click the web object manager menu pick I get the following
error: Could not load servlet information from web server.
On other peoples machines here it works fine and they can register
servlets. What am I missing!

hmmmm, wondering if I understood you correctly:
first try the file association - right click on one of the movie files (you should tell as well with extension) then 'open with' menu then go to 'choose program' and then choose one of them and coach the box "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" in your example 'window media player'.
the other point I understood is that in download directly into your browser, well there is a settin for this in the option, don't know where exactly, but you can avoid this by right clicking on the movie/file link and choose 'save target as ...' this forces it to download it on your disk and then you can open it.
hope this kinda helps
Cheers

How to display an element on top of a web object

Hello,
I would like to display some grouped elements on top of a web object in my project.
If you look at the image below, the large black frame is a web object that will play a video in an iframe.
I'd like to put a smart shape (the white outlined box) on top of that web object with a text object inserted and an image button (the X).
The idea is that when the video plays people can see what the video title is and click the X so that the box disappears if they wish to do so.
But even though the group is on top of the web object in the timeline, as soon as the video loads and starts playing the web object takes pole position and the box, text, X, etc disappear.
Any ideas how I can retain the layer order, even when the video starts playing?
Thanks.
R.

What if you use a script and use a image with the video name and the "x" I´m using the google logo as example.
var widget = document.querySelector("[id*='Widget'],[id*='Web']")
var ronanImageTitle = document.createElement("img");
ronanImageTitle.setAttribute("src", "https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png");
ronanImageTitle.setAttribute("style", "position:absolute; z-index:100; top:0; width:50%");
$(ronanImageTitle).fadeIn( "slow" , 0);
$(ronanImageTitle).click(function() {
$(ronanImageTitle).fadeOut( "slow" , 0);
$(widget).append(ronanImageTitle);

Web Object not visible in published project

I'd like to use the new web object interaction widget in Captivate 7 to embed a website into a project. Everything works fine as long as I only preview the project in my web browser. But when I publish it and go to the slide where the web object is supposed to be, there's only a blank space. Why?
I've published the project in SWF-Format with eLearning-output set to "AdobeConnect". I tried to switch the option "Scalable HTML content" on and off as I heared that some people are having problems using this in connection with widgets, but no matter whether it's turned on or of, the web object doesn't show up. There must be something very
trivial that I have overlooked since I'm using the web object in the standard way it is meant to be used.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Andreas

Thanks for your advice, but it still doesn't work. I have created a new project for my tests with only the web object in it to make sure no other objects etc. are influencing the output. I published the project and tried to run it on different browsers/operating systems and directly from my hard drive vs. Adobe Connect. The results:
Using my Mac and opening the project with the HTM.-file from my hard drive after I have added the published files folder to the trusted locations for Flash (without this setting, it doesn't work), the web object only appears in Safari, but not in Chrome and Firefox. Using AdobeConnect, it's the same: only Safari.
Using a Windows laptop (again opening the project with the HTM.-file from my hard drive after I have added the published files folder to the trusted locations for Flash), it works with Internet Explorer and Firefox, but not with Chrome. Using AdobeConnect, no browser works. I only get this message:
I can't use the web object when it only loads under very special circumstances. Moreover, I found out, that checking the "Scale HTML content" checkbox in the publish window results in a totally misplaced web widget in those browsers that support the web object. It then looks like this:
I use this option regularly, so this is really a problem for me.
I hope you can tell, what I can do to get the web object running. I simply can't believe that this is the standard behaviour and that everybody else is experiencing the same problems. There must be something I can do to get it running.
I hope you can help.
Best Regards
Andreas

Web Object Widget non-functional?

Hello again!
So I'm trying to use the web object widget to pull up a surveygizmo survey (which provides handy web links, HTML embeds, java embeds etc.), but it's not loading up. It works only when in previews within Captivate. Once published, it does not work. I have tested it both in our LMS (Cornerstone), and on SCORM Cloud. I've gone even further to change it to the default Bing.com to see if I can even bring anything up with the web object and again tested it on SCORM cloud and even Bing.com wouldn't come up.
Am I doing something wrong, missing something necessary to make the web object widget to work? I've published in both HTML5, SWF, and a SWF/HTML5 combo. Any help would be great! Thanks!

This seems like a similar question - http://forums.adobe.com/message/6142119#6142119
I haven't run into the problem you have, but it sounds like it won't show any Web site once you've published, right?
Is there perhaps some issue with the LMS? Or are you saying it also does not work when you upload it to SCORM Cloud?
I recall I ran into a problem with a Web Object when I had checked off the "Scalable HTML content" during publishing. I don't remember the specific issue, but there was a problem with that.
Best of luck!

Set Web Item parameter HIDDEN = 'X' based on Filter Value(s)

In a BW3.5 Web Template I want to set a Web Item parameter HIDDEN = 'X' based on a filter value for another Data Provider in the Template.
In other words I want a Web Item to be hidden if certain Co Codes are used in the Filter for another Data Provider in the template.

The output of this statement gives the variable value. If using a filter use a Filter Web Item.

Web Object web page underneath Captivate

I have a video embedded in a web page. That web page is then inserted into a Web Object. The video controller has a full-screen button. Like this:
When full-screen is activated the video appears BEHIND the Captivate web page like this:
This only happens when published as Flash and viewed in Windows Explorer on Windows 7 (as far as I'm able to test). Of course, this is what our client will be viewing this with. It works just fine On Windows XP, Chrome, Safari and HTML5. In those cases the video appears on top of everything like it should. Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Hello Steverb,
I think by Windows explorer you mean Internet Explorer.
Can you tell me the version of Flash installed along with the version of Internet explorer on your computer ?
Are you trying to open a swf file or a .htm file ? Please open .htm file and then check.
Please create a blank project with only one slide with webobject interaction and see if you are able to reproduce the issue.
Thanks and Regards

How do i make a web object scrollable on a tablet?

i put a web object on a slide and i used the folder icon in the property panel to target a pdf file. when i run the course in my laptop browser, locally or from a web server, the web object scrolls as it should and i can read the entire pdf. but when i navigate to the course url with the safari browser on an ipad, the pdf is in a fixed position and does not scroll at all.
i'm using captivate8, the course was published for html5 only.
how do i correct this issue? thanks

when i put a web object on a slide and i used the folder icon in the property panel to target a ZIP file, which has an html page that wraps a jpg image, i experienced exactly the opposite... the web object scrolls the html page on the ipad, but not on my laptop.
when i put a web object on a slide and i used the folder icon in the property panel to target a OAM file, which was nothing but a jpg image imported into adobe edge and then published, the web object scrolled the "animation" on both the ipad AND my laptop
how do i avoid this odd behavior? thanks.

Web Object issue with Vimeo Videos

I'm using the Web Object Interacion in Captivate 7 to embed some Vimeo videos in my course, but i'm having this problem while playing the videos using this tool:
When i play a video, it plays properly but if i don't pause the video before move to the next slide the audio of the video continue playing. I've been looking for a way to sync the Web Object in the way that if i move to other (next or previous) slide this not continue playing the video in the previous slide?

Hi,
Can you provide the video URL you are using.
Let me know if you are displaying the video in the same slide or in new browser window.

Sizing an Embedded Video into Web Object

Siziing an Embedded Video into Web Object
I've created a html page and placed a video player in it, I used the link to place it in my Captivate 7 Project by using the Web Object Widget. The problem I am having is getting the size right. I've tried changing the size of the player and widget. it seems to go out of wack.

If I am seeing it correctly, the message in the video box
is reporting that the player has crashed. Reloading the
page should fix it. If your player still does not work
after reloading the page, you can go to the web page
for the player and download the player again.

Web Object Widget and replacing Variables in the URL

I am using the new Web Object Widget in Captivate 7 and need some help with setting up the URL for the widget correctly. If I hard-code a static web page address, the widget works fine. The problems comes up when I need to slightly change the tail-end of the web address depending on who is taking the course.
I need to dynamically append some variable information onto the web address that we will be calling such as:
http://www.someplace.com/customizeforstudent.htm?Student_Name=$$studentName$$&Student_ID=$$studentId$$
Is there any way to dynamically load the variable information into this widget when the student takes the course?
I know that I was able to use the samples on captivatedev.com to do this web page variable replacement when I used JavaScript on a button so I know it can be done that way.
(see: http://captivatedev.com/2013/08/08/javascript-solution-launch-a-url-with-captivate-variabl es-as-parameters/ )
The down-side of the captivatedev.com example is that it forces the web page to show up "outside" the course (either in a new window or it takes over the browser window the course is playing in. I want to use the web object widget so I can stay "within" the normal flow of the course we are developing.
I have been able to get the student name and student id from our LMS using JavaScript (thanks again to http://captivatedev.com).
Whatever process we come up with needs to work not only with Flash, but also HTML5.
Thank you for your time.
Randy

Hi BubbaRB and welcome to the forums. I love it when people have great questions regarding integration.. and this is an area that Adobe Captivate needs to be better at! It would be nice if the stock web page widget in Cp 7 had the ability to substitute Cp user variables in the URL to make for dynamic rendering of the web page, but unfortunately that's a limitation of the stock widget.
The web page widget on CaptivateDev.com is capable of variable substitution in the URL. You just need to enclose the variable with double dollar signs $$cpQuizInfoStudentID$$.
http://captivatedev.com/2012/08/07/adobe-captivate-6-x-widget-web-page-widget/
This widget works for SWF and HTML5 output for Cp 6 and 7 and there's a free trial available.
