Captivate 8.0 interaction widget pictures are distorted

All images get distorted when adding them to any interaction widgets (even when I upload them in 100X150 in size).
(BTW: I'm currently using the subscription version.)

Just logged it as a bug, I know the size by heart and with your help discovered that in the latest version of the learning interactions the indication is (again) wrong: both need a image that is a square. It doesn't have to be precisely 150x150 but must have a width/height ratio of 1/1.
I know that in the first release of those interactions, a similar faulty indication appeared for the Timeline interaction, was corrected in a patch. Now it is wrong both in Tabs and Timeline. Only the Accordion interaction needs a 1.5/1 for Width/Height. Sorry about that, I am just a user...

  • All my pictures are distorted

    After I had my computer fixed, I reinstalled Elements 7.  When my pictures were put into the Organizer they all are distorted.  They are all squeezed from top to bottom.  Have no idea what happened and how to correct it.

    Ask in the PSE forum. Sounds like you need to rebuild your thumbnail cache or change some settings somewhere... Perhaps you are also missing a patch/ update that addresses this exact issue...

    Now it won't scan at all, but by going thru all programs, HP, taking the long route, I got pictures to scan. For each picture, this took a long time
    Don't understand why all of a sudden I can't scan from the front dials on the printer

    Can't locate the make/model from that part number in my Region. So I can only surmiss it could be your front panel dials no longer work. As I don't know the age and usage of the scanner it could wear out from usage. You only other option if is because of wear and tear from usage that you will have to go and get another scanner that will work better for your situation otherwise you will have to go through the long process that your using now.

  • I have purple lines running through keyboard and picture are distorted

    I have purple lines run through the keys on typing pad when I press them as well as distorted pictures . Is this a software or hardware problem?

    Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

  • After upgrading to iphoto 9.4.2, all my pictures are distorted.

    I recently upgraded my iphoto to 9.4.2. Now when I open iphoto, all I get is a distorted screen and I cannot click on or do anything.  What do I do?? I do not want to loose all my pictures:(

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your library is the culprit.
    In that case make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external drive.  I change the kind to "original" but when I view the video from the external drive once exported, the sound and picture are distorted.

    I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external hard drive.  I have tried to export from iphoto with changing kind to "original" but when I open the video from the external drive the quality is effected.  I have also tried copying the video to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the drive...same problem. Any suggestions?  I would like to save everything to my external drive so that I can delete all of iphoto library and then reimport to correct a few things.

    The file sizes are identical.  In the finder I did a search for all .mov files.  Then when they came up, I went through them and named each one so that they would be easier to find.  I am a new mac user and am used to windows.  I realized later that I should not have done this....with a mac files should be named within iphoto app...not finder....When I went to open the videos in iphoto, it wouldn't allow me.  I had to go into finder, copy to desktop and reimport into iphoto.  Then the videos worked again.  However, I had the problem with the poor video quality when copied to external drive before that.  Actually the first problem I had was when I copied to ext drive...videos were copying as an image...so I learned that you have to change "kind" to original before exporting....then that problem was solved...now they are videos, not images but not of a great quality.  Skips, sound and images are not in sync...etc...

  • Since upgrading to firefox 4 all pics are distorted, how can we fix?

    I recently upgraded to firefox 4 and ever since all pictures are distorted.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    * Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

  • Localize interaction widgets in captivate 6

    I'm using an English installation of Cp6 and would like to incorporate some of the standard captivate interaction widgets into lessons for high school students. However these lessons will have to be fully in Dutch and all of the widget parts need to be localized. The foremost parts (strings) can be edited into the right language from the design mode. But there are still some parts that can not be changed; for example in the word search interaction (see picture). Since the fla sources are not available to me these strings can not be changed. My question now is if I obtain a license for the Dutch version of Cp6 will i also get a fully translated set of interaction widgets? Or are there other work arounds I could use?
    TIA for any answer! 

    There is no Dutch version of Captivate and localisation has never been considered very important IMO. Have been complaining already a lot about that. There are no Dutch TTS, translation of the TOC is cumbersome and translating those interactions is not possible. Please, add your voice to me and other international users (Dutch is also my native tongue) by entering feature requests. Only the requests that do get a lot of support will make it in future versions.
    Lilybiri
    My workaround is to add instructions in Dutch, either with a previous slide, or with a text caption or using Voice Over

  • I am trying to use my iPhoto pictures as my screen saver on my mac book air (lion)... however many of the pictures heads are cut off.  How do I fix this without the pictures looking distorted?

    I am trying to use my iPhoto pictures as my screen saver on my mac book air.  Many of the pictures' heads are cut off.  How do I get the pictures to fit the screen properly without the pictures be distorted?

    Open the screen saver control panel. Right above the preview window there's a popup menu. You'll probably want to set it to "Fit to screen" so the pictures will be resized to show on the display.

  • Adobe Captivate 6 - Interactive Widgets and Resume Playing Timeline?!

    Hello! I am using Adobe Captivate 6 to work on several training projects and the slides where I have inserted interactive widgets (such as accordion theme), along with the normal text to speech and timed text boxes, when I go to publish in either html or swf those particular slides pause the whole presentation/training. Unlike the other slides that continue/play the timeline when entered these particular slides (with interactive widgets) do not do the same and pause the presentation (you have to press the play button on the menu bar to continue with narrative and I'm trying to have it play automatically). Does anyone know how I may go about having these particular slides not pause the presentation and continue playing the timeline. I've exhausted all measures and need help. Thank you.

    In Captivate 6, all learning interactions (accordions is not an interactive
    widget at all) were pausing the slide at the first frame, sorry. That has
    changed later. In 7 and present version, most learning interactions do not pause at all (with the exception of some games), you have to pause yourself to allow time for the interaction.
    Have some workarounds, but none for what you want. Keep the interactions on a separate slide is the only recommendation I can offer.
    As for my first remark about Accordions not being an interactive widget, last night I tried to explain some concepts of the interactions to another user in this thread: Tracking Learning Interactions

  • Reducing tabs in the interaction widgets in captivate 6

    Hi can someone tell me how to reduce the number of tabs in the interaction widgets. I am always presented with 4 with an option to increase when what I want to do is remove one or two of the buttons instead. Can someone please help as this is limiting the usefulness  of these interactions for me. Thanks.

    With the exception of the Process circle, for Accordion, Tabs... you can delete a label: go in edit mode for that label (double-clicking) and you'll get a big minus sign next to it that will allow to remove:

  • My iPad fell off the bed. Now when I turn it on there is a red backlight and then the images come on, but they are not like before. The picture colors are distorted. Can this problem be rectified?

    Having problems with my iPad after it fell of the bed. When I turn it on there is a red backlight, then the screen comes on. Even then the page does not look right. Images are distorted and there are patches of red in the images. What does this mean? Can the problem be rectified?

    I would take it to the Apple store but some people have been having luck holding their iPad upside down and smacking it on it's back. Be careful, good luck.

  • Web-object interaction/widget does not appear in published slideshow

    I added the web-object interaction/widget using my notes from the instructions in the relevant Lynda.com video (as the Captivate 7 User Guide makes no mention of the web page widget, web-object widget, web object widget, web-object interaction, web-page interaction, web page interaction, or webpage interaction).
    The web-object interaction, or web-object widget (or whatever you choose to call the thingie that should provide the user of the published project slideshow with direct interaction with a web page from within one of the slides), it sometimes works in preview; may have worked once when published; but otherwise does not appear on the slide.
    On its not appearing in either the published HTML document or the SWF file:
    --I had a Continue button on the slide, and tried removing that.
    This did not help.
    --Because the web-object interaction/widget automatically sets the slide's action on entrance to "Pause," I tried setting it to "No action" (thinking that the slide, being pause on entrance, might never get to the web-object widget/interaction).
    This did not help.
    --I thought that perhaps navigating in the slide show with various "Jump to slide" settings, I would watch it without navigation.
    This did not help.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Jeff

    In the published folder, I noticed a SWF called stagewebview. I guess this file has got something to do with Web Object interaction. When we link to published HTML file, this SWF is getting called automatically. But in your case since you are linking to published SWF file, the web object interaction SWF is not getting called. So, is it not possible for you to link it to HTM file?

  • Text not displaying interactive widget

    By using the widget interactive activities, texts are cut or simply disappear.
    I tried to answer using pictures or even without. Same problem.
    Occurs randomly in different questions. I found another thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21621230 # 21621230) in which this error has been detected but no solution. It seems to be a problem in the latest version of Ibooks author.
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    hi andyp85, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
    <blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>

  • Who'd like to test a new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget?

    It's taken about 6 months of every spare minute we could find but we're finally ready to do a round of Alpha testing for our new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget for Cp4 and 5.  This post is to ask for a handful of volunteers to test the new widget over the next week creating drag and drop interactions in both Cp4 and Cp5.
    If you've already tried our well-known Drag and Drop Lite Question Widget, but were a bit frustrated by the limitations that the quiz question format placed on your creativity, we think you'll be blown away by what this new Interactive Widget can do.  It does everything the current question widget does, aside from the aspects that are unique to question types (Review Area, Retake Quiz, etc) plus a whole lot more.  Due to the extra functionality, this widget has twice as much code as our last one.
    Some of the features:
    You can have as many widgets as you want on a single slide and each can be addressing a different drag and drop scenario.
    You can reference the same drag and target objects from different widgets to create different.
    Since they are interactive widgets, you can use the widget success/failure criteria to trigger Advanced Actions.  This opens up a lot of possibilities for game interactions.
    You can score each widget differently so that OnSuccess they will each report different scores for dragging the same objects.  This means you can have Conditional Scoring and more than one correct answer for a given problem.
    You can set one of the widgets to have its Preferences be used for all widgets on the slide so that you don't need to set all widget preferences individually, thus saving a lot of time.
    You can set Preference Priority for each widget to configure which widgets will have "right of way" if there is a potential conflict in preferences.  For example, if one widget wants one type of snapping behaviour on an object but another widget wants the same object to snap differently, the widget with the higher Preference Priority will dominate.
    You can nominate other interactive objects (including clickboxes or other widgets) to act as Submit button and Clear button to create a simulated quiz question.
    Since this widget is an Interactive widget, it also has the same advanced Pausing override behaviours we built into our Event Handler widget (http://www.infosemantics.com.au/eventhandler)  So you can have users stay on the same slide playing with the drag and drop interaction for as long as they like without progressing to the next slide until they want to.
    Plus other stuff I can't think of right now.
    If you decide to volunteer to participate in this Alpha testing, please don't use this widget for any production Captivate projects you may have.  The Alpha and Beta versions of the widget will be time-bombed to stop working after a couple of weeks so that we don't have buggy versions running around later.
    As I said at the beginning, we only need a handful of testers, we need people using either Cp4 or Cp5, and you need to do this testing over the next week so that we can then address any issues you find and release a debugged Beta version for more testing.
    Anyone wanna play?
    If you do want to volunteer, send me a private message on this forum with your email address so I can send you a widget and instructions.  We'll only be taking the first dozen or so people that are willing to contribute time and feedback.
    Cheers,
    Rod Ward
