Cannot Order Front/Back a Question Rollover Caption

Following from another post, http://forums.adobe.com/thread/609673, I cannot z-order the Rollover Caption when it's on a Question slide. I right-click the text caption and the Order -> Bring to Front / Send to Back options are grey / disabled. Is this a bug? Any workarounds/ideas?
Thanks,
-Matt

Hi Matt
Unfortunately Question slides are a bit of a different beast. I'm thinking about all you can do with this is to ensure the caption isn't obscured by Question elements.

Setting Tab Order on Rollover Captions

I have created a Captivate piece with rollover captions
describing various portions of a screen shot. Because of ADA
compliance, I was told that you had to be able to tab through the
rollover boxes, which does work. However, strangely, when you tab,
there doesn't seem to be a controllable pattern. I thought perhaps
it was left to right and then wrap down, but that doesn't seem to
be true. It also doesn't seem to be controlled by order of creation
of the rollover caption item, nor the order the items are placed in
the timeline.
While it isn't the end of the world, I would sure like to be
able to specify the tab order of the rollover captions.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately, it does NOT use the stacking order when
determining tab order. I moved the order a number of times to see
if that made a difference, and it did not.
I did find that it has something to do with placement on the
page - but not completely. If I moved an object to the top left
corner of the slide, it would select that one first (regardless of
the stack order). However, that does not fully follow through - it
would choose the top-left most object, then start on the second
line of objects which was lower than a right-hand rollover caption,
then skip to the right-hand object then back to an object in the
middle of the page, etc. It is a consistent pattern on the page
(meaning that it is not a random changing pattern each time), but
not in any sensible (at least to me) order.

Bring to front/back and rollover images on Question slides

Hi All-
My feedback captions show through revealing the content underneath. There is not an option to make them opaque. Also, Captivate allows me to insert a rollover caption on a Question Slide (as opposed to a button which it does not allow) but the rollover doesn't work. Suggestions? Please see me pdf attached.
Thank you!
Rita

All objects that are default to question slides (no separate timeline visible) are on top of the other objects. That has not changed.
I found some tweaking possibilities for shapes but that first rule is still valid: http://blog.lilybiri.com/want-a-button-on-question-slide-in-captivate

Applescript - ID - CS3 or CS4 - create array containing front/back order of objects?

Hi all,
I'm looking for ideas of how to do this: create a layer for each object in the document, then move each object onto it's own layer — and preserve front/back arrangment. In other words, 10 objects = 10 layers, without changing stacking order.
So far I've got it creating unique layers and moving objects onto each. . .but i'm looking for the most efficient way to have it handle the original stacking order.
I suppose i can start learning how to build an array, then re-order it by index (which i understand indicates front/back), and then create layers following that order? If that's the best way, I'd LOVE some direction on how to code that. Or, if there a more elegant solution?
Thanks for any help!
CS3 is ideal but can use CS4 if necessary (or CS5 if there's some killer function in there)

It's a vertical imposition script. Items from the top half of each page are moved to a different page (using a temp page as a staging area), then pages are reshuffled. Here is the script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
set myDocument to active document
save myDocument
set fp to file path of myDocument
set DocName to name of myDocument
if DocName ends with ".indd" then
set DocName to characters 1 thru -6 of DocName as string
end if
set myFileName to fp & DocName & "-imposed.indd" as string
tell myDocument
repeat with i from 2 to 7
set myPage1 to page i
set myPage2 to page (16 - i)
set myTempPage to page 15
set myItems1 to (every item of all page items of myPage1 whose (class is in {rectangle, oval, polygon, graphic line, text frame}) and (parent's class is spread))
set myItems2 to (every item of all page items of myPage2 whose (class is in {rectangle, oval, polygon, graphic line, text frame}) and (parent's class is spread))
repeat with myPageItemCounter from (count myItems1) to 1 by -1
set myitem to item myPageItemCounter of myItems1
set locked of myitem to false
set mybounds to geometric bounds of myitem
if item 3 of mybounds < 52.5 then
tell myitem to move to myTempPage
tell myitem to move to {item 2 of mybounds, item 1 of mybounds}
end if
end repeat
repeat with myPageItemCounter from (count myItems2) to 1 by -1
set myitem to item myPageItemCounter of myItems2
set locked of myitem to false
set mybounds to geometric bounds of myitem
if item 3 of geometric bounds of myitem < 52.5 then
tell myitem to move to myPage1
tell myitem to move to {item 2 of mybounds, item 1 of mybounds}
end if
end repeat
set myTempItems to (every item of all page items of myTempPage whose (class is in {rectangle, oval, polygon, graphic line, text frame}) and (parent's class is spread))
repeat with myPageItemCounter from (count myTempItems) to 1 by -1
set myitem to item myPageItemCounter of myTempItems
set mybounds to geometric bounds of myitem
tell myitem to move to myPage2
tell myitem to move to {item 2 of mybounds, item 1 of mybounds}
end repeat
end repeat
delete page 15
move last page to after page 1
move last page to after page 3
move last page to after page 5
move last page to after page 7
move last page to after page 9
move last page to after page 11
save myDocument to myFileName
end tell
end tell

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID on yoru phone from an old ID ("email address") to your current ID, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Rollover problem - rollover area and rollover caption appear simultaneously. Mouse has no effect.

Greetings - I am a new user of Captivate 7, subscription version. I am taking tutorials and cannot get the rollover caption and area to work. They simply appear as two objects. Mousing does not affect appears or disappearance of the caption. What am I doing wrong? TIA

This may seem like a stupid question, but how are you watching the project? Simply playing the slide (using F3 or pressing the play button in the timeline) won't show interactive objects working. Use:
F4 (to preview the whole project within Captivate)
F10 (to preview a certain number of slides in Captivate starting with the current one--default is 5 slides)
F12 (to preview as a swf in the web browser)
or... I think it's F11 that previews as html5 output in a browser, although I don't use Captivate 7 so I don't know for sure
Edit: woops, looks like Lilybiri beat me to it

Canon Pixma ip 4500 front/back issue?

Hello to everybody
Im just new in this community and in the Apple wordl, besides I'm italian so plese forgiveme both for my inexperience and for my english.
In the PC environment the pixma driver showed the possibility of automatic front/back printing selecting the drawer, now in the cups driver from Canon
I cannot fin this option. I do not have handly the version I've downloaded, but seemed to be the last release (september 2011). Anybody else had the same problem? I like very much this printer both for the quality and versatility.
Thanks for hints and attention.
Gian

I don't have this printer but the Canon site says this is the latest driver:
http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_ip_serie s/pixma_ip4500#BrochuresAndManuals
And within the manual there is this (click image to enlarge) which says be sure to click the Paper Feed Switch in order to see the ? mark for help with duplex printing. Another page says manual duplex printing is not available for Macs, so it has to be automatic. Hope this makes sense.

I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
First close Photoshop.
Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

Redownload the apps by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Combining Rollover Caption and Click Box?

Hi all,
I wonder if anybody can solve this problem please.
I am creating an interactive simulation to familarize users
with a clients new web app.
For each button, I have created a roll over caption (which
describes the button when rolled over). I have also put a click box
in the exact same place. When clicked, it takes the user to a
different slide which shows the effects of the click.
After the user is done with the slide, I have created a
button which wil take them back to the original slide.
The problem is, on going back to the original slide, the
rollover caption still appear on screen. It disappears eventually
after a user rolls over and out of the button.
I have figured out that it must be because:
1)the user rolls over the area and the caption appears
2)if he rolls out, then it disappears
3)BUT if the user rolls over the hotspot and clicks the click
box, then the Rollover caption never registers the mouse rolling
out of the hotspot, because the presentation jumps to another
slide.
So when you return to the original slide, the caption
remains. As I said, it disappears eventually but looks very
unprofessional.
Please please can anybody help? This is driving me crazy! Is
there any way around it at all?

Rollover Persistence Bug?
Can't post my project unfortunately. But trust me, I know
what I am doing :) kind of...
My rollover + buttons have a bug with the rollover, much the
same as isanmiguel. Going "up" is no problem, works as expected.
Going back to previous slides is a problem in that the rollover
from the previous screen is displayed under the "new" rollover.
This happens even when I move the rollover (ala Captiv8r's
recommendation). The "bad" rollover does NOT display when
navigating, it simply "appears" underneath (or in plain view when I
moved rollover away from button) when arriving at earlier slide.
Structure: 5 Slide project explaining website GUI. Three tabs
have rollovers + click boxes allowing interactive explanation. All
clips are 3.0 seconds, with an invisible button to side pausing
clip at 1.5 sec.
This behavior is not what I would expect, any recommendations
please? Perhaps I should be doing something different?
BTW, I just checked the "hover previous slide" thread, and
noted that going "back in time" is not handled well by Captivate 2.
So much for interactive sandboxes where user could "construct"
learning at their own pace by interacting with a non-linear
workspace. Sigh, it works in PowerPoint. (I did not import from
ppt)

Not sure if I had to submit my question:

There isn't an iCloud app, I'm not sure what it is that you have deleted, but it isn't iCloud.

Making a rollover caption background plain white

Hi all,
I'm trying to make a customer rollverover caption background plain white so that it covers an image and reveals text when the image is rolled over. I've created a plain white BMP file but it is just appears transparent.
I was thinking this could be achieved using a 'Hide' action but this doesn't seem to be an option.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Rod,
Thanks for getting back to me. It’s definitely the Rollover caption. In the properties bar, under ‘general’, it gives me the opportunity to change the caption style. Default styles include yellow, red, green, adobe blue, halo, etc. If I click the folder icon, it shows that these are all bitmap files, and will only allow me to select bitmap files in the file type dropdown. I created a white bitmap but this doesn’t work.
With regards to white transparency – this could be the case but as no other white object has done the same, I don’t think so. Could you let me know how to double check?
Thanks again for your help.
Very best
Mike

Hide rollover captions for editing

Hi, all;
I'm converting some courses that make copious use of rollovers in Authorware to Captivate. I'm finding that in Captivate, the rollover captions cover everything, so I can't actually see or access the slide beneath. My understanding is that if I click under the little eye to hide the rollover, this will also hide it in publishing. I'm very afraid that I will forget to show these again (not to mention, next time I edit the slide, I've got to do the whole thing again).
Is there a setting to hide the rollover captions while editing that allows them to be visible when published? IOW, I want to be able to view the slide while editing like it looks in the filmstrip, and only turn on a caption if I need to change its size, location, or text (then immediately hide it again in editing view).
Thanks;
Amy

Hello
This is a common misunderstanding: the little eye on the timeline allows you to hide objects for editing reasons but will not change anything on publishing, those objects will remain visible. So please, go ahead, use that 'eye' for all the objects you want to hide for editing.
Here is a link to my blog post about the functionalities of the Timeline (including that eye icon):
Tiny Timeline Tidbits
If you want to really hide objects also after publishing, you'll need to uncheck the Visibility in its Properties. Cannot show you a screenshot because you did not mention the version you are using. The object will remain visible during editing, but will not show up when published.

Order the FAQ module questions

I am trying to order the FAQ module questions in Business Catalyst.
It puts them in alphabetical order by default so I numbered them. But once it gets to 10 it obviously goes out of order.
And the client does not want to put a letter in front. ie A, B, C
Any ideas on how to acheive this?
Thanks in advance.

Try leaving numerical gaps in your weighting scheme so you have future flexibility.
For example, I like to use the weightings of 1000, 900, 800, 700 and so on.
Then I have a LOT of wiggle room to add new information and sort my information the way I like.
