Captivate 4 - unable to bookmark content slides with a Quiz and maintain Incomplete status

When creating a presentation that has content slides before a quiz the Captivate content is recorded as Failed when exited early in the LMS.
I am trying to allow the user to view content pages that bookmark when they ahve to exit the course. This should set a status of Incomplete which will allow the user to return to the last page (slide) viewed and continue. Once all slides are viewed they are then presented with a Quiz that requires an 80% to pass.
I have tried the reporting setting "quiz results and slide views" in Captivate but if I exit on any content slide it is recorded as Failed with a 0 score. The LMS I am using is OutStart Evolution.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

surf_easy922,
As discussed privately - you needed to click the "continue" button at the Quiz Results screen, in order to successfully complete the content in the LMS. There are a number of options that you can employ to resolve this:
- Change settings in the Quiz Manager to "Quiz Results, only"
- Remove the Quiz Results screen and insert your own certificate
- In this case (because of where the content originated) you should use Adobe Presenter
For building your own certificate - I have written an article on building your own Flash-based certificates for Adobe Presenter and Adobe Captivate. The article can be found here: http://www.connectusers.com/tutorials/2009/02/certificates/
I am in the process of revamping that article, because it is *very* technical and doesn't need to be. I think a lot of people are confused (justly so) by the article and really how easy it is to use the template/sample certificates I've provided in the article for their own purposes. While I am working on that update, here is a walkthough of how you can use any of the sample FLA's in the article, above for your own custom certificate: http://www.learningconsulting.com/content/adobe/connect/CertificatesInCpPr/CertificatesInC pPr_customizing.htm
Finally, I think for your purposes and based on how you are building your content, you should look at the Adobe Presenter tool. It is a PowerPoint plug-in that provides the same functionality that you have in your Captivate file (but you work within PowerPoint, so you do not need to import the PPT file - you work directly with it). Captivate is an awesome tool and should be used for your simulations and more complex interactivity, but in this case Presenter is the more appropriate tool for your needs.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Andrew

Unable to change content types for pptx, xslx and docx files

I'm running into an issue where I cannot change the content type of any xml-based Office documents. Here's what I've done:
1 - Create a custom content (A) type based off the Document content type
2 - Enable the custom content type in a document library
3 - Add a document or select an existing document and edit the content type to the custom content type
4 - The custom content type will save for documents such as .ppt, .doc, etc. The custom content type will now save for .docx, .pptx or .xlsx files. The properties window will save without displaying any errors but the content type will not change
I ran several tests including creating another custom content type (B) based off of the Document content type. I proved that:
The custom content type (B) can be saved to .docx, .pptx or .xlsx files IF no additional columns are added to the custom content type
As soon as I add a column to the custom content type the aforementioned documents cannot be saved as that custom content type
Documents created through the File option in a document library also fail to change content type to the custom content type when saved. Most of my files are .docx, .pptx, or .xlsx files, and this issue poses a significant roadblock in our SharePoint roll-out.
I appreciate any advise you can provide.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the custom content type could not save with .docx, pptx and xlsx files when with a additional column.
I tested with your issue as the steps below, the custom content type worked well.
Create a custom column Doc1
Create a custom content type Doc1, the parent content type from chose the Document Content Types, Parent Content Type chose Document.
Add the custom Doc1 to the custom content type Doc1.
Add the custom content type into the library LIbA.
Upload the files with .docx, .pptx and .xlsx files into the library with the custom content type, they all save well with the custom content type.
I also create other content type with other Parent Content Type, they all worked.
Did the issue occur in other library? You can create a new library then use the custom content type to check whether it works.
You can also use the other browsers to check whether it works, such as Chrome, Firefox.
Thanks & Regards,

Flattening or merging layers with layer effects and maintaining them.

How do you maintain multiple layer effects when merging or flattening the layers within a group or on their own ensuring they end up eventually to normal and 100 % opacity? (Using PSCC)
Thank you.

You want to flattern an image with multiple layers and layer effects? It should just happen for you, but there some occassions where flatterning does not show the expected results. When that happens, select the upper-most layer (so long as it is turned on) and add a copy merged layer to the top of the stack (Shift Alt Ctrl e). Then flattern, and it should be fine.

How to implement clone() with Evolvable POF and maintain future data.

POF evolvable objects support backward compatibiliy by maintaining "futureData".
If my client needs to clone a POF Evolvable (i.e. one that extends com.tangosol.io.AbstractEvolvable) before changing it and then writing it back to the cache , how does one implement clone and maintain future data?
Cheers,
Neville.

Hi Rob -
Yes, it's there. I'll ask for a second (and third) pair of eyes on this one to understand (and defend? ;-) the reason why.
Peace,
Cameron Purdy | Oracle CoherenceHi Cameron,
considering that PortableObjectSerializer writes the greater of implementation and data version as version id at serialization, it means that it assumes that an implementation from a later version than the data ALWAYS upgrades the data to the implementation version, it is correct that way.
On the other hand, if you wrote a serializer which does not make an assumption, but allows for optional and partial upgrades (to interim versions), you wouldn't be able to use AbstractEvolvable.getDataVersion() as a way of getting the old data version as it won't allow you to increase the data version once you upgraded the data with code in the data class called by the serializer. Ehh... it is a bit confusing as I wrote it down... An example:
You can't do this:
class A extends AbstractEvolvable {
    void upgradeState() {
        int dataVersion = getDataVersion();
       // initialize new attributes
        int newDataVersion = ...; // appropriate to what we upgraded
        // this triggers assertion failure
        setDataVersion(newDataVersion);
class ASerializer {
   Object deserialize(PofReader reader) {
      A newInstance = new A();
      a.setDataVersion(in.getVersionId());
      // set fields ...
      a.setFutureData(...);
      a.upgradeState();
      return newInstance;
}Instead, you have to do this (set the dataVersion to the instance AFTER upgrading the state, and therefore you have to pass the data version to the upgrade method):
class A extends AbstractEvolvable {
    int upgradeState(int dataVersion) {
       // initialize new attributes
        int newDataVersion = ...; // appropriate to what we upgraded
        return newDataVersion;
class ASerializer {
   Object deserialize(PofReader reader) {
      A newInstance = new A();
      int dataVersion = in.getVersionId();
      // set fields ...
      a.setFutureData(...);
      dataVersion = a.upgradeState(dataVersion);
      a.setDataVersion(dataVersion);
      return newInstance;
}Best regards,
Robert

How does Business content work with BI 7 and R/3 4.6 as backend?

Dear Bwers,
We have BI 7.0 with source system as R/3 4.6. I have the following questions:
1. I want to know how to install new BI 7.0 datastructures from business content when the datasources from R/3 are in the old version?
2. Is Business Content upto speed with the new structures like transformations and DTPs?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Raj

hi raj,
i don't think BI 7.0 and r/3 4.6 has good integration between them.
may be it's possible with after 4.7 versions. check it out

Filtering a Content Query with Tasks (Users and % Complete)

Here is what I'm trying to accomplish: Display all of the non-completed tasks assigned to a given user from any task list from a site collection on the parent site.
What I did: Configured a Content Query web part to search all the task lists and to display the tasks. The filtering is set up to "Show items when: Assigned To is equal to [Me]"
This looks like it works just fine, but where I run into problems is when I put a filter for "And" "% Complete." I've tried to do "is not equal to" "100", "is less than" "100" "is less than"
"99". Yet it continues to display completed tasks.
Any ideas?

You've probably fixed this, but you'll find that internally 100% is stored as 1
10% is stored as 0.1
1% is 0.01
I'm not sure if this will help you - I've used such queries ok sometimes.

Export QuickTime file with new audio and maintain the file size and quality as the original.

I shot some footage for a client yesterday and ran into an issue. To make a long story short I have QuickTime mov files shot with my Panasonic GH4 that have a buzzing sound in the audio track. I have clean audio from a recorder that can be sync'd. Is there a way for me to do this for the client and deliver them as the same QuickTime file but with the clean audio and keep the file size close to the original and not have quality loss in the image?
If so I will probably put all of the spanned clips together from each interview and sync the audio before delivery. I am just not sure which codec will give the client the same quality footage compared to the originals and not have a massive difference in the overall file size. They did request that they be Quicktime MOV files though so that is a must.
I don't see this as an option in the codecs in the export settings in PP, but is there a way to export as ProRes or another MAC native codec that will save them from having to convert it on their end? I am on a PC with Adobe CS5.5 so I am not too familiar with MACs, but from what I understand they would need to convert the files if I sent them straight out of the camera.
I found some related search results for this but they pertained to "Best quality" for export. I am not sure how the varying options work but I don't want to create files that are considerably larger, just not less quality.
If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cole

Here's the workflow: I imported the video footage into iMovie '08 and did my edits. Then I exported it (share) to my desktop with compression set @ 740 X 480. Then I used QuickTime Pro to fix the audio track. The file plays perfectly with both audio tracks working. It's a QuickTime file (.mov).
I hope this jars any replies as to why the file when uploaded to my iWeb gallery drops the second audio track.
Hmm,
Jack

"Synching" with new computer and maintaining playlists

I bought a new iMac in July, but continued to synch my iPhone4 with my older MacBook. I would like to switch over to synching with the iMac, but don't want to lose my playlists, music files, etc, which are currently stored on the iPhone. Is there a way to pull the playlists off the phone into the iMac? (All of my music files are on an external 2TB drive that synchs that is available to all macs in the house via my airport network. The other issue, which is slightly related, is that the MacBook's iTunes library recently changed itself and forgot where it's library was. In choosing the correct library, a lot of my playlists were gone and some of the music was also gone. The MacBook has 3 hard drives (one internal; 2 external that are always on), 2 of which are bootable. Booting from a different drive still doesn't pull up the iTunes library as it occurred a month ago. I tried pulling it out of Time Machine, but it didn't work. So, synching with the MacBook is also impossible, since again, my iPhone playlists will be erased. So, how can I pull the music & playlists off of the iPhone before synching with the new computer? (I should reiterate that I am not in danger of losing the music, since it's all on the external music-server drive, but the playlists will all disappear.)

I never got a reply to this, but today, downloaded the App called PhoneView, which appears to do nearly everything I needed. Pretty cool. Apple, I really wish you would make it easier to pull data and apps off an iPhone when synching with a new Mac.

Dropping master slides onto content slides causes strange lock

I'm having a Keynote problem that I haven't encountered before. Basically, after creating a new master slide and trying to drop it onto a content slide, Keynote locks my ability to work with the content slides at all.
Odd thing of this is, editing masters still works fine. But the scroll bar for the content slides becomes a decoration, and clicking on the content slides does nothing. The keynote still 'plays', and I can get to content slides this way but can't change them.
This is a very sudden behaviour that I've never seen before. I'd appreciate any ideas on whats happening with this. This is a new Keynote install due to a machine rebuild, so a preference setting may be the cause, or something less obvious.
Feedback very much appreciated - I'm under the time gun, as it were.
Jim

Turns out that this was an update issue. I should have spotted that one right away.
Problem solved, and thanks!

Reset Slide with Audio on Enter CP7 HTML5

I have a slide with some audio and animation (captions fading in and out) on the timeline that is triggered by a play/pause button with some Advanced Actions attached to it to toggle the buttons and resume and pause the timeline.
However, if I navigate through this slide to another slide my buttons get confused when I re-enter the slide with audio and require me to click/toggle them a couple of times to get them to work.
The solution I think I need is to be able to reset the slide with audio every time I enter it. Is this possible and can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks.

Buttons are text buttons sitting side-by-side, not stacked. The buttons appear only for the duration of the slide.
The result I wanted was a total reset of the slide, essentially for the play button to be visible each time and for the audio/animation to be restored to their original states. This has now been achieved thanks to your guidance.
I've switched a couple of things (see screen grabs) to enable the play button to be visible on entering the slide as I don't want the audio/animation to autoplay, I'd prefer this to be user-initiated. I know you'll know what I've done by looking at the screen grabs but I've included some notes in case this might help anyone else.
1. Set slide to display play button, hide pause button and continue to the first pause that is on my timeline (in this case the pause appears after 1.5 seconds) on enter:
2. When play button is clicked it is hidden and the pause button is displayed. Continue plays the slide.
3. When the pause button is clicked it disappears and the play button is displayed. The slide is paused.
Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated.

Printing the results slide of the quiz

I am creating a quiz using Captivate 2. Can I give a print
button wherein it prints out the result slide and also all the
questions slide with the correct and wrong answers answered.

I happened upon this recently:

Hypertext Links in PPT with Presenter Quiz breaks Quiz

I have training developed in PowerPoint 2003, using Presenter 7.0.5. I have added hypertext links, which link to hidden slides in the same file. There are also knowledge check questions within each file. When a student clicks on the hypertext link there is an error that tells them they are not finished with the quiz, and if they select continue, it will break the quiz.

7.0.1 is a pretty buggy version of Presenter. Have you tried going to 7.0.2, 7.0.5 or 7.0.6 through the Adobe Updater? If it is identified at what point in the updating process there was a change that affected the reporting functionality to your LMS, that may help identify the problem. Personally, I reccomend that you don't even touch Presenter unless is it on 7.0.5 or newer, as there it too great a risk of it not doing what you expect or just crashing and losing all your work.
Also, are you accessing the training in IE9? I recall that there was some compatibilty issues with IE 9 and Presenter, but I thought that was resolved in 7.0.7.
