Cannot create chm layout, "Next" dialog button disabled

I have used and created chm formats in the past on my project.  Now all of a sudden when I try to create one the dialog opens and allows me to designate the location, toc, index  etc. but the only button available to me is Save and Cancel.  I can't use the "Next" button (disabled) to go to any other dialog.  Has anyone had this problem before.  I'm using RBH 7.03 and generating locally.  I am wondering if this could be from a security hotfix or something like that.  I haven't tried reinstalling, I thought I would see if anyone has had this before going to that option.
Also, I was asked to print to PDF and we noticed that the footer doesn't print in the PDF.  Is this a default of RBH?  I don't see a way to change it so it will print at the end of each topic.

You should only see Save if you have accessed the properties of the layout. If you double click, then you should see Finish and Cancel. Previous and Next will be disabled as there is no next for this layout.
Separate questions are best asked in separate posts as sometimes people can answer one and not the other, and then may not answer either. You haven't said whether you are talking about printing topics from the output or creating a printed document. If the latter, the headers and footers do not print. See Printed Documentation on my site.

  • Cannot create CHM output in RoboHelp 10

    When attempting to create CHM for a large RoboHelp 10 project, the process fails with the following error:
    HHA Version 4.74.8702
    htmlproc.cpp(114) : Assertion failure: (pszTmp == m_pCompiler->m_pHtmlMem->psz)
    There are 2400 topics in the project. Some 'out of memory' errors have recently been displayed when working on the project. I have followed some basic advice which I have found on the forums to change the path for the output file. I have also created a new Single Source Layout, and tried a variety of settings within the HTML Help Options dialog, with no success. I would really appreciate some advice.  Thanks very much.

    Try HHA Version 4.74.8702 in Google.
    Here's one result that may apply.

    I am using TCS2 with linked Framemaker files. I have markers in Framemaker to generate topics (as opposed to RH pagination). I cannot attempt to compile againg without going to Project Settings reseting the Stop List to default then exiting and reopening Robohelp only to receive the same error.
    Next, I tried reseting the Stope List, then deleting all htm files from Robohelp starting with UAS_Airfield_Preferences_and_Properties and all other htm topics derived from the same Frame file. I selected generate file on next update. I exited RH and reopened, this time my output file looks like this:

    Note the text I highlighted red, the file extension of the file with the compilation fail is htmc. However, in RH it displays as htm. Is this a clue to the fatal error? Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions on how to get my project to produce a chm again?
    regards,
    Nelle

    Hi again
    And what happens if you copy the project to C:\Projects\BAMS and compile from there?
    I note that the path listed is pretty long:
    c:\Documents and Settings\serboji\My Documents\BAMS\Help\BAMS UAS Help\BAMS UAS UPC Help\!SSL!\New_Microsoft_HTML_Help_Layout\BAMS_UAS_UPC_Help.chm
    If you were to change to what I'm suggesting, the path would then be:
    c:\Projects\BAMS\!SSL!\New_Microsoft_HTML_Help_Layout\BAMS_UAS_UPC_Help.chm
    You might be surprised at the result if you try it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE - dialog button disabled

    Hello. I met very strange problem. I'm trying to create full screen flash movie. I've set all possible params in html. Full screen opens, but I can't press allow button. For example here all works fine http://www.leebrimelow.com/?p=3311. Why?
    And why stage.allowsFullScreenInteractive is always false???

    Finally. The reason that full screen not worked was beacause I tested it locally. So be careful, test on server.
    Anyway, stage.allowsFullScreenInteractive is always FALSE. So I must be sure that I put correct javascript or I'll get RTE. That's bad.

  • Creating next/previous buttons problem

    I am creating next & previous buttons on my main scene. I have created a scrolling photo gallery as well as a random button to randomly select images. I have a photos layer that has 15 images tagged in the AS "img1" "img2"....hopefully this all makes sense so far.
    What script can I use to easily create a next_btn. This is what I currently have
    next_btn.onRelease = function() {
        photos.gotoAndStop("img"+1);
        photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
    "img"+1 goes to the "img1" however I would like it to go to the next img instead of always go to img1. I've tried _currentframe+10 (images are 10 frames apart) and some others but cannot seem to get it to work.
    I would like this to work along with the random button so that when a random image is clicked, the person can click the next button and get to the next image.
    Current script in...
    random_btn.onRelease = function(){
        var picNum:Number
        picNum = Math.ceil(Math.random()*15);
        photos.gotoAndStop("img"+picNum);
        photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
    next_btn.onRelease = function() {
        photos.gotoAndStop("img"+1);
        photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
    if you need any clarification let me know! thanks!

    i'll try to explain this simplier.
    scene 1 (layers)
    inside layers
    AS
    next back btn
    random btn
    photos
    displays images when clicked on from photo gallery
    scrolling photo gallery
    photo gallery + buttons for gallery
    i'm looking to create a simple < > prev and next image buttons.
    My current script from above (original post) hasn't worked out.
    random_btn.onRelease = function(){
        var picNum:Number
        picNum = Math.ceil(Math.random()*15);
        photos.gotoAndStop("img"+picNum);
        photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
    next_btn.onRelease = function() {
        photos.gotoAndStop(picNum+1);
        photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
    I'll take out the random_btn if need be to create just a regular next button and previous button. (i'll worry about tracking the scrolling image gallery later...one issue at a time)
    Thanks again.

  • I have disabled the next/skip button in quizes and don't remember how I did it.

    I have disabled the next/skip button in quiz and don't remember how I did it. I need to reenable it. Oh yea Captivate 7.

    Thank you for responding.
    Not sure what you mean. The master question slide looks normal and the project question slide does as well. When I launch the project the Next/skip button is grayed out and I cannot click on it. In the properties it looks the same as the other buttons.

  • Robohelp 10 unable to create next/previous buttons in new TOC folder

    Suddenly I'm unable to create next/previous buttons in new TOC folder. I create folder, add pages, go to Browse sequence editor, create new Browse Sequence, generate Multiscreen HTML & when it's through no browse sequence in shown ie no next/previous buttons. Help?

    Hi there
    Silly question here. If you double-click the Responsive recipe in your Single Source Layouts folder, then click the Content section in the left panel, is/are your Browse Sequence(s) selected?
    If not, perhaps that's the problem?
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can i create an album with chose category list and next/previous button

    hello guys im working on a project for my uni i finished the whole website but one thing is missing
    i need to create a photo album with next and previous button, with choosing a category and inside each category i have like 5 pictures and i can change with the next/previous buttons to see another picture of the  same category.
    Please see the picture below to see what i mean.
    some told me it needs flash but i dont know how to work on it :S so plz if anyone can help me
    thank you

    Dear Mr. Murphy,
    thank you for your help.
    Actually i have tried to search for a tutorial and i found that one that was very helpful and gave me the half solution. the part i found and it worked with me is the part of the next and previous buttons and moving from an image to another.
    SO the part i still need is the list so when i click on a category i get the pictures of the chosen category, I had the idea of create a flash for each category alone and maybe i will be able to add them all together.
    But i guess it's too much work and there must be a way where i can make it all in one flash file.
    If you have any idea let me know please, thank you again for your help and i'm trying to search for the AS3 image gallery as you told me.
    Regards

  • I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

    I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
    The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
    Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

    Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
    One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
    iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

  • Cannot create additional Radio Button items

    Hi. I am new to Appleworks database, so this my be a stupid question. When I try to add a field and define it as a radio button group, then try to customize the buttons via Options, it normally only shows 2 buttons "Item 1" and "Item 2". I can modify these 2 buttons, but cannot create any other buttons or delete either of these buttons. The "Create" button is greyed out when in Options. I tried re-installing Appleworks with no change.

    Adding to the previous comments:
    You can't delete either of the two items because two is the minimum number of items for a radio button field. The purpose of radio buttons is to allow a choice between (or among) items.
    When you click on either item in the list (and make no change to its label) AppleWorks offers you only the choice to modify it because it won't allow two items with the same label. When you change the label, AppleWorks offers the choice of Modifying the existing button or Creating a new button with the label/item name you've typed into the box.
    Once you've created an additional button it's possible to delete a button without leaving fewer than the minimum two buttons in the field, so AW then adds Delete to the available choices.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Everytime I hit the   button to add a folder it says CANNOT CREATE A FOLDER AT THIS TIME

    Everytime I hit the button to add a folder it says CANNOT CREATE A FOLDER AT THIS TIME. I've already created several folders but now this comes up. I signed in and out a few times to see if that would change anything.

    Finally got to the store to see what was going on. I didn't do it. My previous carrier was still holding my number even though it was working before. Verizon called and got it released and problem solved!!  Thanks!!

  • HELP-DIALOG POP UP BOX-JAVA Cannot create XMLHTTP instance.

    After going to a Web site with Opera Browser, I get the following dialog box JAVA "Cannot create xmlhttp instance".
    Now it pops up when ever I use Opera, but not Internt Exployer. Can you tell a Newbie how to fix it?
    I uninstalled Java 1.4.2 & installed ( jre 1.5.0.05 ) and I still get the
    same Dialog Box. The Box stops me from using Opera Browser,
    because it reappears all the time. I NEED HELP. My OS is XP Home.
    PM me at( trader_zzzz, yahoo.com ). Thanks in advance, traderzzzz.

    Java is not involved in the error - Javascript is. Javascript is not Java, and except for the similar name, they have nothing in common. The problem is the way that Opera is interacting with Javascript and the webpage you visited. You probably want to look for the solution at Opera's website. This search listing may help:

  • Web service browser - "Create Assembly..." button always disabled

    I am trying to use .NET web services. I have followed the steps in the "Building a Web Service-Based Application in LabVIEW 7.0" document. My problem is that when I have selected a wsdl file in the .NET web service browser, the "Create Assembly..." button does not become enabled. I have tried a multitude of wsdl files, which looks ok to me, but nevertheless the button stays disabled. Any suggestions? Maybe I have missed some settings somewhere?
    /Andreas

    Hi
    I unchecked the "Show friendly HTTP error message", but
    this dosen't solve the problem, instead it shows
    the run time error RABAX_STATE.
    I need the web-service-browser to generate the
