Captivate 4, Right Click and Flash 7

Hello,
I am using Captivate 4 and I need to include right click boxes. I also have to publish to Flash 7 but, this functionality doesn't work below Flash 8. Is there anything I can do to workaround this?
Thanks,
Mary

Hi Vish,
Thanks for your response. The problem is I need to use Captivate 4 because I have to publish to Flash 7. I am limited because of the technology on my learners computers. It looks like the right click option isn't compatible with Flash 7. Do you know if there is any type of workaround for this?
Thanks for your help.

Captivate 2 right-click and drag and drop in simulation

Captivate has been suggested as a suitable replacement for
Authorware since the announcement that Adobe doesn't plan to
continue with Authorware. I find myself in the position to put this
to the test. I'm in the process of recreating a course that had
been created in Authorware in a toolset comprised of Artuculate
Presenter, Articulate Quizmaker, Articulate Engage, Captivate, and
PowerPoint.
The simulation created in Authorware has these feautures:
-learner right clicks on items on screen to see a context
menu then selects option from the context menu
-learner drags toolbar and other items on screen to another
screen location
-learner selects item from Windows Start>>Program and
other application menus. As the learner's mouse moves over the
menu, menu options highlight and flyout menus appear even if
they're not directly involved in the simulation
-learner logs into course with an employee ID number. This
information is stored and is used in the simulation in which they
log into the system being simulated.
Can I do any of these things in Captivate?
I suspect I can simulate the flyout menus with a number of
mouse over hotspots - exactly the way it's done in Authorware.
However, I haven't found any way to do simulate the other items:
-use of drag and drop where the learner performs the action
-use of a variable value to check validity of what has been
entered in the text field
-use of right click to advance Captivate simulation.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me. After all, I've
heard many people claim that Captivate can replace Authorware.
Thanks

Hi Grace,
Captivate is indeed a replacement for Authorware, but only in
the way that an Audi is a replacement for a Ferrari. They do the
same basic job, but you need to do some after market modifications
to the Audi to level the playing field somewhat.
1) Flyout menus are indeed possible, if you're willing to
create "rollovers" that display a picture of the expanded menu when
the user mouses over. You are limited to exposing only first-level
menus, however. Captivate does not allow for rollovers on
rollovers, except possibly via Captivate 3's Slidelet
functionality.
***EDIT***: You can also use Paul Dewhurst's rollover widgets
to fake multi-level menu behavior. They are available from Paul's
site here:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=29
2) Drag-and-drop in Captivate is currently only available as
an add-in Flash object, each of which must unfortunately be built
by hand in Flash. Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst offers
source files for such interactions on his website:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=29
3) Captivate has built-in checking of field values, but you
are limited to hardcoded values only. If you need variable-based
input checking, you must create it yourself in Flash and insert it
as an animation.
4) Right-click is possible in Captivate, but must be added
manually. Captivate community contributor William Heinz has created
a nifty right-click solution for HTML/SWF publication and Paul
Dewhurst again comes to the rescue with a solution for .EXE-based
output:
HTML/SWF-based Output:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/rightclick.html
EXE-based Output:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=29
Unfortunately, making these modifications to Captivate files
comes at a cost. First, there's the overhead of tracking down and
implementing the custom enhancements. More importantly, Captivate
has no way of "scoring" custom enhancements, so any such
interactions will not be reflected in the user's reported results.
If you're willing to live with these limitations, and a few
others, Captivate can indeed be a suitable replacement for
Authorware.

How do I right click and save pictures in flash

Hey,
I am wondering if its possible to create a flash button that
says 'save as' when you right click one of the pictures in flash.
Just like in HTML how you can easily right-click and save a
picture, I want to be able to do the same thing but in flash. Is
this possible? Would I use something like dynami pictures that are
outside the flash file but in the same folder and will be placed in
the flash movie when called upon? I very curious, please let me
know of any ideas you may have.

Call the button "target" (instance name) than your photo
image1234567.jpg
and paste it to timeline frame.
If you right click Target Movie clip, you will have the
download option.
Need to upload and test online, won't work in working
environment or browser
run from desktop.
function down() {
fileRef.download(foto, "image1234567.jpg");
var foto = "image1234567.jpg";
var my_cm = new ContextMenu ();
var menuItem_cmi = new ContextMenuItem ("Download The
Photo", down);
my_cm.customItems.push(menuItem_cmi);
my_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
target.menu = my_cm;
var listener = new Object ();
listener.onSelect = function (file) {
trace ("onSelect: " + file.name);
listener.onCancel = function (file) {
trace ("onCancel");
listener.onOpen = function (file) {
trace ("onOpen: " + file.name);
listener.onProgress = function (file, bytesLoaded,
bytesTotal) {
trace ((("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded) + "
bytesTotal: ") + bytesTotal);
listener.onComplete = function (file) {
trace ("onComplete: " + file.name);
listener.onIOError = function (file) {
trace ("onIOError: " + file.name);
var fileRef = (new flash.net.FileReference());
fileRef.addListener(listener);

Right Click and FlashPlayer 9

Urgent assistance needed!
I have developed a course for learning Windows XP and Office
2003 applications.
Integrated in the lessons are a lot of user- interactions
that use right-click functionality (Based on Adobe Captivate
Article: "Adding Right-Click Functionality to Captivate Content").
During a check of the course (IE6 and Flash Player 9) i
discover that the right-click functionality that works with Flash
Player 8, now open (again ?!) the Flash Menu.
HELP ME !

The associations menue in Bridge affects right clicking in Bridge only and has nothing to do with the file associations in Windows 7.
I am not trying to right click and edit a jpg file in Bridge! I am using the Windows explorer or desktop.
I need to find out how to change the file association for right click and edit with a jpg in Windows 7.
Thanks

Right click on flash movie / SWF file

Why we get flash default menu when i right click on a flash
movie?.
When i enable video bookmark (videomark). user is suppose to
right click on flash movie and select videomark.
is the flash default menu is customizable?. Please let me
know.

Here is a sample script to customize the right-click menu.
Put it in frame 1 of your movie.
var myContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myContextMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
var thisTitle:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("My
prison movie", bla);
var thisCredit:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("created
by Paris Hilton", bla, separatorBefore=true);
var thisCopyright:ContextMenuItem = new
ContextMenuItem("© My Intelligence Is Ltd.", bla);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisTitle);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisCredit);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisCopyright);
function bla() {
//insert your function here
this.menu = myContextMenu;
The function can be anything: getURL, load a movie clip, turn
sound on/off, etc. You can add as many ContextMenuItems as you
want. Each one can have a separate function assigned. It seems that
some sort of function is required by the class, so I use an empty
function like in this example if I want nothing to happen when the
user clicks the menu item.

Cannot Right-Click and Copy in Win 8.1 Event Viewer

A minor thing, but a slight reduction in functionality that might just be a bug...
In all prior operating systems I've been able to drag across text in the Event Viewer then right-click and choose Copy from the context menu.
In Windows 8.1, right-clicking does nothing except flash the cursor several times quickly - as though something's failing in the event loop. Control-C still works to copy text.
It's not something I have installed that's causing this. I've reproduced the problem on a freshly installed system that's done nothing but display the Start Screen for the first time.

Using Windows 7 I just encountered this problem. It lasted for say 20 minutes and then reverted to normal. Did it revert to normal for you?
Thanks for your response, Gerry, and for bringing this back up.
Frankly, I'd gotten out of the habit of trying to copy data from the Event Viewer (plus, the error count has gone down a good bit after all the Windows Updates), but after having brought the Event Viewer back up now, near as I can tell the
problem is fixed in Windows 8.1.
Well, maybe not completely fixed. There's no right-click context menu for things in the pane in the General tab, but it doesn't flash and I can copy text from everywhere with Control-C.

Right Click on Flash

Hello-
If I right click over flash on a web page I get a menu that is in Chinese, while everything else in my system and my usage of the machine is in English. Is there a fix for this? I've heard of this on windows machines and the RavMonE virus, but I cannot find anything about it for the mac.
Many thanks-

HI,
To put your mind at ease, there are no Mac viruses in the wild. The RavMonE file is .exe file which cannot be read or opened on a Mac unless you are running a Windows partition.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
And make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
Now try to right click Flash content... if you still see the Chinese dialog...
Try clearing your font cache.
Shut down your Mac.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator. During startup in Mac OS X v10.4.x or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, even if normally you log in automatically. Boot time is a minute or two longer than a normal boot.
After your Mac boots to the Desktop restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.
What this process does... It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/
Restart your Mac and see if that makes a difference.

When I click on links in websites the links don't work unless I right click and choose open website in another tab/window. This is even a problem on the Firefox page.

When I try to open a link on any page/website Firefox does not open the link. It doesn't even "work" at opening the link, it just sits idling. I have to right click and choose "open link in new tab/window" in order for Firefox to open the link. It doesn't happen 100% of the time but happens especially if there is a button or picture that must be clicked. Simple text links seem to work more often then button or picture links. One example provided below. When you click on the "launch Jumpstart" button it will not open unless you right click & open new. This also happens from my Yahoo! Email account, on Facebook, Cructhfield.com and other websites with "button" related links.

I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Try to open a new window and see if that window works.

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

When I click on a new site I want it to AUTOMATICALLY come up in a new tab WITHOUT HAVING TO RIGHT CLICK AND PUT 'OPEN IN NEW TAB'. It used to do this but has stopped,..., how do I do this?

Always before when I wanted to click on a new website or a location I found searching google for example, the new website or place I found ALWAYS POPPED UP IN A NEW TAB AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT me having to right click and say 'open in new tab'. For some reason it is not doing that anymore and when I click on an item it is coming up in the tab I am currently in. How can I set FF to automatically open a new tab whenever I click on a new site like it did before? This is driving me nuts since I am not a computer person at all and had it working the way I was used to before. Please help me fix it back.
Thank you so much.

You can also hold down the Ctrl key and left-click or use an extension to force opening a link in a new tab.

How do I get FF to focus on a new tab? I right-click and choose "Open in New Tab" and the Tab appears in the Tab bar but I cannot access or see the new page.

I open FF ver.10. My Home page is Google Search. I use a Bookmark and open, say, Hulu.com. I select a link by right-clicking and choose "Open in New Tab" The little tab in the tab bar opens but I am still viewing the Hulu.com main page and cannot view the new tab.
This happens even if I use middle-click to open a new tab. It happens with all links on any website I visit.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main website, like google.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main window, like google.
This does not happen when opening in a new window (shift+click).
It was never a problem in older versions. I now have ff 3.6.17. I' afraid to install ff4 because everytime i do so (install e new version) something i liked dissapears or good add ons dont work anymore!
I also don't like the fact that more and more of the adress barr is beïng used for crap i don't need. I'm a visual handicap and need all the space i can, just to read.

HT2513 How do you change the name of a reminder in the reminder list. I right click and then choose "get information" I can change the colour of the reminder but when I type in the name that I want and then press enter the name stays as "untitled".

Jerry,
Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
Thanks, Maz
