Captivate 4 shortens timeline - elements are not displayed right anymore

Hi there,
I already searched the forum but couldn’t find an answer. Maybe someone of you can help me.
I have a weird problem with the timeline – in short: it changes.
I have some slides, based on imported Power Point slides. Within captivate I add some Audio (TTS), let appear images & textboxes simultaneously, add buttons etc.
Sometimes I extend the slide duration (for example when slide transition is set to automatically).
And now the problem that occurs: Captivate shortens the timeline – exactly to the length where the audio ends. Doing this causes that elements which are placed at the end of the slide are also shortened and not displayed right anymore.
This is shown in the following screenshot. On the left side of the cursor you can see an image element that normally should fade in directly after the audio ends and should stay for 4 seconds.
I couldn’t figure out when this happens. This means that I have to check every slide again to make sure that all elements are displayed right. Locking elements or the slide itself doesn't help.
Does anybody know why this happens and how to avoid this? I am using Captivate 4 and publish as an .exe or an .swf
Your help is appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Hi Noel
If you click Edit > Preferences > Global > Defaults do you have the option Calculate caption timing enabled?
If so, that's likely your issue. Clear the option and your timing should stay put when you make edits.
Cheers... Rick

  • Fonts are not displaying right

    I'm creating a website with Muse and I need to use Scandic letters. But they don't seem to work. I've tried both web fonts and web safe fonts but the letters are still not displayed. I have closed Muse and relaunced it with no success. I'm using the latest version. In previous versions I didn't have any problems like this.
    The site is www.sumiaispiiras.com I really need help to solve this fast.

    Hello,
    what I was doing was launching the website without doing it in Business Catalyst (through ftp directly to my web host using my own domain) however the fonts didn't work. So I tried to launch it in BC and the fonts were working perfectly there. After that I contacted my system provider (web host) and what they did was  that the added .htaccess file  "AddDefaultCharset UTF-8" to my homepage. So the problem was that they didn't have the same code as what Muse uses. So if anyone has the same problem, try to publish the page in BC and see if the fonts work there if they do the problem is not with Muse.

  • Elements are not displaying in webdynpro view's layout area

    Hi All Webdynpro Experts,
    Im new to abap.  Im working in webdynpro.
    Im facing a issue now.
    By Default, I need to disable a button (u201CCreate Responseu201D) in FPM_OIF_COMPONENT WebDynpro component in CNR_VIEW. But the thing is I cannot see the any elements in the layout area.
    The component configuration is /SAPSRM/WDCC_I_FPM_OIF_RFQ_BID. When I clicked this, itu2019s showing some attributes and one button called u201CStart Configuratoru201D. So now what should I do, to view the elements in the layout area. How to configure that component. So that I can set the disable attribute for create response button from the layout area itself.
    Please help me in thisu2026
    Thanks,
    Rani.

    Hello Rani,
    when you have development rights for this component configuration, just click on the button "Start configurator". Afterwards the FPM Configuration editor is opened and you see the statically defined layout of the component configuration.
    Basically the layout of FPM applications is stored within a configuration context, you have to go into the component configuration.
    A customer e.g. could also do some customizing on sap delivered component configurations - this he will do in the so called admin mode. You can start this mode in several ways, e.g. when starting the FPM Configuration editor and just adding the URL-parameter sap-config-mode=X.
    Further information on how to adapt FPM applications on the [SAP Help portal|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/6b/edc21e5e1e4a33a492b8955afffac7/content.htm].

    I created data elements and use them in a db table. I've added this data elements as parameters of a selection screen in a function group top include but when I test my function module with this selection screen I see only the field names and not my field captions of my data elements.
    While editing report choose Goto->Text elements->Selection Texts-> select Dictionary checkebox next to your parameters ->activate. The caption will be used then.
    And another question: I have defined and activated a search helper which I can call in my selection screen with F4 but I don't see the symbol behind the text-field. What is the reason?
    Refer standard program DEMO_DYNPRO_F4_HELP_DICTIONARY to see various techniques of attaching input help to screen field, together with search help

    I have the ZenV Plus, 2 gb and it lists the songs by Artist, by Album, by Genre and then it has a complete alphabetical list of the songs by title (All tracks). Don't you have this option uner your "Music Library"

  • Elements Organizer 8 - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide

    Hello:
    Elements Organizer - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide on Full screen. What's the problem? Wrong codec?

    Because WMV's can contain a lot of flags, like DRM, they can exhibit odd behavior, indeed.
    Usually, AV files will display in their native resolution, i.e. in their set Frame Size/Aspect Ratio and with their set PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but sometimes those flags are missed, or are altered by other programs.
    Remember, WMV's are designed to be streaming delivery-only, and are not intended, or designed to be edited. Most NLE's (Non Linear Editors) will allow them to be edited, but will require extra processing to do so. As is mentioned, WMM is designed around editing that delivery-only format, but most others are not.
    There are many other formats/CODEC's, that ARE designed to be edited by the vast majority of NLE's, such as DV-AVI Type II's.
    The best workflow is to NOT bring WMV's into the mix, unless one is using WMM exclusively. Converting those to an easily editable format/CODEC will always be the best course of action.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • I have two add-ons that are enabled AND working but they are their icons are not displaying.

    I have Firebug and Adblock-Plus on my Firefox browser that are not displaying their normal shortcut buttons next to the search bar of Firefox. They were displaying fine yesterday, now today they are not displaying at all. They are installed and enabled. There were no changes on my end (user end), that could explain this occurrence. No new addons installed. No new plugins. Any help would be grateful.

    I have Firebug and am on Ubuntu at present, so my options may differ slightly from Windows, and over time the Firebug options probably have changed.
    If you reset the toolbars to default settings by resetting localstore.rdf you may need to make some changes to recreate whatever you had before.
    I may display a full Firebug toolbar with keyboard key F12. That toolbar includes several display options from clicking the firebug icon. I also have Firebug showing as an option from
    * Tools -> WebDeveloper -> Firebug.
    If I use the customise toolbars option; for example from right clicking an empty space on a toolbar; the palette of icons includes one for Firebug that I may place where I like. If you try to create a custom toolbar remember it needs to be populated, if it has nothing on it it will not display.
    P.S.
    Presumably you are able to use Firebug, it is just an icon that you are missing ? is that correct ?

  • Firefox 33 HTML select elements do not display correctly

    HTML form <select> elements do not display options correctly in Firefox 33.
    For example:
    <select id="field_4" class="mainForm" name="field_4">
    <option value=""></option>
    <option value="submitted"></option>
    <option value="pending"></option>
    <option value="discarded"></option>
    <option value="all"></option>
    </select>
    should display a drop down with 5 elements (first one blank) but no elements at all are displayed.
    The bounding box does not seem to be computed correctly so no options display.
    I have observed this issue on multiple pages. These pages displayed correctly in older version of Firefox and they display correctly under IE. The problem occurs with no addons or additional themes installed. The problem does not occur in SafeMode so I suspect that it is theme related but the Default 33.0 theme is the only installed theme and it cannot be disabled outside of SafeMode. I tried installing and changing multiple themes without success. The problem persists after restarting Firefox and after rebooting the computer and even after uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.
    I can supply a screen shot if needed.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

  • Photo's are not displayed in iPhoto

    I can see Events and can click on them to see pictures, but when I click on the individual photos, they are not displayed, although I can see them in the "filmstrip' at the bottom of the screen. iPhoto will show the names if someone is tagged in the photo.
    Using osx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 11. Everything has worked just fine for several years, but suddenly this started happening. It appears it took place after my last download of photos from my iPhone since that is the last time I used iPhoto.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • JSF Components are not displaying :-(

    Cheers to All:
    What I have done is create a simple Java Server Faces project whereby I created a web project and added MyFaces JSF capability in MyEclipse. Next I created some JSFs and markups for the frontend portion of this example. What I am trying to accompllish is move around the different JSFs to ensure everything is working properly before I get complicated.
    When I type in the URL to the Parent (index.html), I get the markup to display. When I click on the link, what is suppose to happen is the screen moves to the index.jsp. The index.jsp has nothing more than a forward to the main.jsf. In this JSF is where all the Java Server Faces markup is located.
    When I process through to the main.jsf page, nothing is diplayed other than the <h2> element. The jsf input elements are not there! I am led to believe this is a configuration issue.
    I have tried to deploy this application on JBoss4.0.5 and Tomcat 5.5. In both cases, the same results are displayed with NO stacktraces.
    This is the main.jsf file:
    <%@ page contentType="text/html"%>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
    <f:view>

           </h:commandLink>
          </h:form>
        </body>
      </html>
    </f:view>I am new to JSF. Is there something I can use in guiding me through the debugging of this error? I am assuming the tag libraries exist somewhere other than within the project's web/lib directory......

  • Notification widgets are not displayed - iOS 8

    Hi community,
    i have a problem regarding the new widget feature in notification center.
    Although activated, Wunderlist and Apple's own reminders app (I hope it's called like that, as it has a different name in Germany) are not displayed. It is not like this happened right from the start but since I deleted one of my list in reminders, I'm not able to display a new one in notification center.
    With Wunderlist it's a similar behavior. When I first activated it, it has been displayed. The problem was that I had just installed the app and didn't even log in. Therefore I opened Wunderlist via notification center, but wasn't able to log in. Subsequently I shut it down, no change. So I deleted the app, downloaded it again and logged in. Since then, Wunderlist is gone from notification center (although activating again).
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance!
    Tim from Germany

    hello
    I am using iphone 5 having ios 8 .. my notification center widgets are appearing but are not updated automatically ..
    If you have any solution then please share ,,, I did restoring my device and installed fresh ios
    so is it a network issue, ios issue or application issue?

  • I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
    Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first.
