Captivate 8 - click through buttons/smartshapes is incorrect

I have smart shapes that act as buttons on my slide, as well as an image button that is positioned in front (on top in the stacking order) of the smart shape (so it overlaps).
When I test and click the image button, it does not activate the image button action, but activates the smart shape action. As long as the smart shape is behind the image button, any click on the image button is being interpreted as a click on the smart shape instead. The screen design for the project that I am working on means I have no choice but to have elements like this overlap from time to time.
I have been getting this behavior consistently in Captivate for a while. Is this an active issue that the Captivate dev team is already looking into? Am I doing something wrong?

Having two interactive objects in the same location at the same time is a
bad idea. Do you really need that?

  • Captivate 8 - Click Box Deduct Points for incorrect click

    I am working on building a simulation assessment for a course I am working on. I don't want to use the hot spot quiz question due to the required use of the submit button. I have set up a simulation where there are 10 steps that are graded. The learner gets two attempts. If the learner clicks correctly the first attempt, I want to award 10 points. If they click correctly the second attempt, I only want to award 5 points. If they click incorrectly both times, they are awarded 0 points. I must be able to report the final score as a percentage to my LMS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    This seems like it would be tricky to do out of the box... (Although I could be wrong! Maybe the experts will know of a way )
    I know Lieve's latest post talks about custom hotspot questions, but those have multiple hot spots with partial scoring, not a single hotspot with partial scoring based on number of tries: Custom Hotspot questions in Captivate 8 - Captivate blog
    There is the Interactive Master Widget, but I've never used it so I can't say for certain that it would do what you need it to.
    The problem as far as I see it (which perhaps you're aware of) is that any scored object will add to the total number of points and mess up your percentage. So you could have two smart shape buttons with one attempt each, one worth 10 and the other worth 5. The first is visible, but on failure hides itself and shows the second. But with that method you'd have 15 points total, not 10.
    In the past I saw something where someone sent their own score to the LMS using JavaScript and then closed the project before Captivate could overwrite that score, but I don't know if that's doable these days. (Report Custom SCORM Variables with JavaScript | Infosemantics Pty Ltd)
    EDIT: Woops, slow to post. I'll leave this, though, in case any of it is useful.

  • Captivate 4 - Clicking back button on question slide takes me to next slide not previous slide.

    I have my quiz preferences set to "user can skip quiz".  When I click the back button I'm taken to the slides AFTER the quiz question, not the slide before.  Help.

    Please, which version do you use? If it is 6, exact version number.

  • I requested a repair, but there was an error after clicking the button with my credit card info. I was still charged, but the form email I received the next day had incorrect info about my iPod Touch problem. How can I contact CS w/o paying $19?!

    My iPod Touch battery is not working. I requested a repair through the Apple Support. On the final page, when I clicked the button that puts the info through with your credit card number, the resulting page gave an error (I wish I'd have saved it!). Anyhow, I checked my credit card and it was charged, so I assumed the repair request went through. The next day I received a form email saying my problem was with "Sync with iTunes (Not iCloud) - Data Backup/Migration (not iCloud)" instead of the battery repair. It also says for iPod customers, to send your iPod to Apple - but I had requested the "iPod Coffin" to be mailed to me so I could send it back. Obviously there was an error between the request and what was received, so I'd like to ask Customer Service about it. However, I can't find a way to contact them. When I replied to that form email, I recieved an automated reply saying emails there were not read. Anything online asks me to pay $19 and I don't have the correct issues to request an exception. The closest store is over an hour away or I'd simply go there to ask. What can I do?! Any suggestions you have are much appreciated. Thank you!
    PS - The form email also says if I wait 10 days the repair request will be canceled. Does this mean my credit card will be refunded for the $85 battery replacement charge if it is canceled automatically?

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

    thanks

    Then use the gotoAndStop() or gotoAndPlay() functions.  IF you are using scenes you might have some problems.  Scenes have always been problematic when it comes to working with Actionscript.  You are better off creating your scenes as movieclips or as sections along one scene's timeline.

  • Sending mail through clicking a button

    hi,
    I am using oracle developer suite 10g and oracle database 10g.
    the problem is like this , I have a table named emp which has two columns
    employee_id number primary key,
    and last_name varchar2(20) ;
    I have two text boxes names :block3.text_item8 and :block3.text_item9 , and a push button named push_button4;
    when I click on the button the data inside the text_boxes will be saved in the emp table as declared and also a mail will be sent to an email address which will be provided through another text_item :block3.text_item10 in the format say [email protected] .
    I can save the data after clicking the button through simple dml queries , but I am not able to send the auto genearted mail which will send a message to that e-mail address that an entry with this mail account has been made .
    could you please help me with a step by step procedure to do this.
    Thanx for your interest .

    Hello,
    There are several options for sending email.
    1) Write a stored procedure using utl_smtp or utl_mail (new with 10g). This is the easiest to implement. See for example: www.psoug.org/reference/utl_mail.html
    Problems you can have here: your smtp server does not allow you to send email or won't relay emails from your side. Most problems I have seen with this implementation were related to the smtp server.
    2) Use the javamail PJC/javabean from the Oracle PJC demos. This one is a bit easier to implement but does require some preliminary setup. You might have to check the smtp server again and make sure it can relay your emails.
    Hope this helps.

  • Playing basic sound ( *.wav ) through a click of button ?

    Hi Java experts:
    Need to know the Java code to be added to a click button 1 to play sound ( *.wav ) and the code to stop the sound through and other click of button 2.
    Using a normal applet
    Thank you in advance

    See...the scenario is something like this : I have a main application running into a JFrame instance. Now, from a menu item in this JFrame, I have opened the modal JDialog. And from this modal JDialog, I have created a JFrame. Now I am not able to focus and perform any operation on this JFrame unless I close the JDialog from which it was created.
    Please suggest some workaround so that without closing the JDialog, I am able to fire some event from the JFrame which is being created from this modal JDialog.
    Thanks,
    Gauri

  • I am Whenever I click a button on any web page there is no response. I have gone through the settings and have not found what needs to be changed to enable

    I open web pages, such as adobe, and click the button, in this case to download Flash Player and there is no response. I have opened and reviewed the settings for foxfire and have been unable to find anything that might remediate this issue. Additionally, I have also checked the settings in Trend Micro and have uncovered nothing there that would remediate this issue.
    Interestingly, the button on this page appear to work quite well.

    You may need to turn off the feature of "warning" you about redirects. In some cases Firefox does not display the infobar and just silently blocks the redirect, which I suspect is what is happening on download sites.
    To test this theory, open
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the General mini-tab, ''uncheck'' the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"
    Then try the download again (you might need to reload the page before trying again, depending on how the site is designed).
    Any luck?

  • How can I pause a slide until the user clicks a button?

    I wish to pause a slide until the user clicks a button (which I've created out of a Smartshape). The thing is that I haven't added a click box object over the smartshape but have only set the smartshape properties to "Use as Button". If I were to add a clickbox object, I would get a "Pause project until user clicks" in the options section of the properties. However in using a smartshape as a button, I cannot find this option. I am using Captivate 6. Seems strange as I would have expected to see the same checkbox option even if I were to use a smartshape as a button but I dont. Can't someone help me and let me know if I'm missing something.
    Of course I could use a clickbox over my smartshape to achieve what I want, but I want to avoid thsi for two reason:
    I want to avoid adding another object when I dont need it.
    My smartshape is a right arrow (indicating "Begin"), and I dont want a squarish click box sitting on top of a triangle because that just shows the hand pointer even if the cursor isn't exactly over the arrow button because it enter the clickbox area.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Select the Smart Shape button , go to Properties > Timing accordion > Pause After and set the number of seconds from the beginning of the slide for it to pause.

  • How can I do to code the equivalent of: Wait ... until(click one button)?

    Thanks to answer me and to send me a little code which explains the solution.
    A French guy.

    If you have to display a panel and wait for the user to click one button to proceed, you could use GetUserEvent ().
    I use it when I have to disply a popup panel
    different from MessagePopup or PrompPopup or similar and I don't want to deal with a separate callback to manage controls on that panel. Here you find an example: I display a popup for the user to input a password (using the password control in toolbox to display an input string with the usual '*****' pattern while typing).
    pwH = LoadPanel (0, UIR, pwd);
    InstallPopup (pwH);
    PasswordCtrl_ConvertFromString (pwH, pwd_pw);
    errChk (PasswordCtrl_SetAttribute (pwH, pwd_pw, ATTR_PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH, 12);
    while (TRUE) {
    GetUserEvent (1, &pnl, &ctrl); // Program waits until a button pressed
    // Here when a button
    have been pressed
    if (ctrl == pwd_quit) { // 'Abort'
    button
    // Exit from function, close popup...
    PasswordCtrl_GetAttribute (pnl, pwd_pw, ATTR_PASSWORD_VAL, pw); // Read password
    if (strcmp (pw, correct_password))
    MessagePopup ("PASSWORD",
    "Incorrect password. Retry.");
    else
    break; // Correct password
    RemovePopup (0);
    I use it where I don't want to exit from the actual function to manage the 'Ok' button from the popup panel elsewhere.
    Hope this helps

  • Issue in Product configurator component on Clicking DONE button - Session hung up

    Hi All,
    In our environment, eCommunications and eProdCFGObjMgr are separately configured in different servers..
    When we place order and take through product configurator to customize the product and click DONE button, the eCommunication session itself got hung.
    When i checked the eComm task, its just waiting for command and the eProdcfgObjMgr component shows the following error in their respective task

    We resolved the issue by restarting the component and clearing the mentioned cache directory. But i want to analyze deep as why it happened.
    Please reply me if you have come across such issue.
    Thanks,

    To achieve the above, try the below fix:
    var buttonBar:ButtonBar = new ButtonBar();
    buttonBar.requireSelection = true;
    Hopefully this works for you . Cheers!!

  • How to Track Clicks on Buttons, Triggers and Drop-Offs

    In my presentation, I want to be able to keep track of every time someone clicks a button and what button they click. I also want to be able to keep track of when people drop off from the presentation. Is this possible with Captivate?
    Thanks,
    Vince

    add a stage covering rectangle to the lowest layer of your external swf and make sure the stage sizes of the loading and loaded swf are the same.  convert that shape to a movieclip and assign an instance name (eg, bg_mc).  in the actions panel, you can use:
    bg_mc._alpha=0;
    bg_mc.onRelease=function(){
    bg_mc.useHandCursor=false;
