Captivate 8 - Next Button Works Only After Viewing Slide

How do I make a Continue button work only after the viewer has viewed the entire slide?
I also want the viewer to be able to skip ahead instantly through slides they have already viewed.
Thanks.

Let me show you what I'm trying to create here. Sorry I need specific instructions since I'm a newbie to Captivate and not familiar with conditions and advanced actions.
I am currently using normal buttons (not a shape button) to create my PREVIOUS & NEXT buttons. Based on your advice I will switch to shape buttons.
"It could be done with a conditional advanced/shared action on Enter of each slide. You'll need a user variable per slide, a Boolean, that you change on the first visit from a default value of 0 to 1, after having checked its value."
What specifically do I select for the "On Enter" of each slide?
And do I only need to put this condition in the "On Enter" section of each slide? Or do I also need to setup special conditions for the NEXT button?
Thanks.

Next button activates only after user views all definitions?

Hi, All,
Just starting a new Captivate 4 project and the client has a list of terms that are each defined upon rollover. She wants to force the user (against my better judgement) to roll over each before he or she gets the ability to move on. I'm ready to tell her this isn't possible without a lot of extra programming. I'm right, aren't I? Or is there something staring me in the face that easily does this?
Thanks in advance,
--jessica

Hi Jessica
Definitely more involved, but not impossible. I'm almost out the door, but I have an example linked in one of these posts where I show only making a button available after viewing several rollover slidelets. See if the link below helps with that.

I don't know if this will help or not, but I was having a problem with the "-R" argument and my dhcpcd.
I used to have my dnsmasq and OpenDNS using this guide: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pos … ure_dhcpcd
I had to remove the "-R" to get my internet to work after the last update.... it's still not fixed but at least my Internet works when I start.

The "next" button of crystal report viewer does not work

hi
I use crystal report viewer control to show my crystal report on my aspx page.
like:
<CR:CrystalReportViewer id="CRViewer" runat="server" HasRefreshButton="False" PrintMode="ActiveX" DisplayGroupTree="False"
AutoDataBind="True"
SeparatePages="TRUE"
Height="520px"
Width="900px">
</CR:CrystalReportViewer>
however when I try to navigate to next page by click "Next" arrow button on the crystal report viewer toolbar, it only can navigate to the page 2, whatever I click the "Next" button, it still stay on page 2,
actually this report has 10 pages.
On the other hand, if I input the page number, such as 5 on the "goto" textbox, it will jump to page 5 correctly.
Could you give me any good advices to solve this problem?
Thanks.

There are a few threads discussing the issue in this forum. See if these provide some guidance:

Using Advanced Actions to Make a button appear only after three other click boxes have been clicked.

I'm working on an interactive brief, and I'm making slides where the user has to click the correct items and then a "Contine" or "Next" button appears so they can move to the next slide. Any help out there? I have been using Captivete but I do not have a lot of experience withthe Advanced Actions. I'm sure this is a pretty simple solution for all you captivate Wizards out there.
I'm using Captivate 5.5.
Thanks for any help!
heymattmann

Hi Matt,
Can you post some pictures of the Advanced Actions you're trying to use that aren't working? It might give people some ideas of specific ways to help you. It can be a bit frustrating to start out, since there's not a lot out there in Adobe's official stuff for Adobe Actions, but Lilybiri's blog really is a great resource.
Others might do this differently, but for your scenario, I would create 3 similar Advanced Actions, each one assigned to execute On Success for a clickbox, and three Variables to keep track of whether or not the user has clicked a particular box. There's also your next button, which starts out hidden. Make sure to name it something like NextButton so you can find it easily in the dropdown box when making your Advanced Actions.
So I might name the actions and variables: actionClickBox1, actionClickBox2, actionClickBox3, and varClickBox1, varClickBox2, varClickBox3 (when you create the variables, set their default values to 0). You can call them whatever you want, just don't reuse names anywhere else-- you will run into problems.
The idea behind the actions is that each time the user clicks a box, you change the variable for that box to keep track of the fact that it has been clicked. That part you were on the right track for. The next part of the action then checks to see if all the clickboxes have been clicked (aka, if all the variables have been changed from their original values to the new one). If they are, it shows a next button. If not, it does nothing.
From what you said, I think you were trying to add an Advanced Action to show the next button to the next button itself. This would only execute when the user clicks that button, which makes it impossible-- you'd have to click the next button in order to show the button so that you can click it... oh dear. The decision of whether or not to show the next button needs to be part of the clickbox actions, so that upon clicking the third and final box, the next button will pop up. Because it makes this decision (to show or not to show) on each clickbox, the order you click them in doesn't matter. It will only show the next button once all the variables have been changed.
You will see that the actions are all very similar, except for the variable that they change:
actionClickBox1
first tab in the conditional action:
     if varClickBox1 is equal to 0 <-- default value of variables must be 0
     then assign varClickBox1 with 1
second tab in the conditional action:
     if varClickBox1 is equal to 1 AND
     if varClickBox2 is equal to 1 AND
     if varClickBox3 is equal to 1
     then show NextButton
actionClickBox2
first tab in the conditional action:
     if varClickBox2 is equal to 0
     then assign varClickBox2 with 1
second tab in the conditional action:
     if varClickBox1 is equal to 1 AND
     if varClickBox2 is equal to 1 AND
     if varClickBox3 is equal to 1
     then show NextButton
actionClickBox3
first tab in the conditional action:
     if varClickBox3 is equal to 0
     then assign varClickBox3 with 1
second tab in the conditional action:
     if varClickBox1 is equal to 1 AND
     if varClickBox2 is equal to 1 AND
     if varClickBox3 is equal to 1
     then show NextButton
Hint: If you set up one of these actions and save it, you can click a button in the top right hand corner to duplicate it and then just change the few things that are different to make the next action. It saves you from having to create it three times from scratch!
Wow, this is long... I hope it isn't overwhelming in its length, and that it helps! Advanced Actions really are a cool feature once you get past their quirks...

Captivate 8 - Next Button

i created a next button that I would like to be clickable only after a person has listened to / viewed the entire screen.
How do I do that?
Thanks,
Charlotte

Easiest way would be to make it not appear until at the very end of the slide.

SUBMIT button works only when clicked twice... Online interactive form

Hi,
I have created a interactive form with SubmitToSAP button. In this I will enter a contract number and will click SUBMIT button.
For the first time it is fetching the contract details properly.
In the same form, i am changing the previously entered value with another contract number and clicking SUBMIT.
Now the details for the previously entered contract number is only displayed. Again if i try for the same value ( which i used for the second time ) and press submit, it is workin correctly.
So, the problem is, except for the very first time SUBMIT button action, the button works fine only when clicked twice..
please help me in solving this issue..
Regards,
Surya.

Hi,
In addition to my previous post, I am also using RESET FORM button from Library.
First I am entering the contract number (say 400000000) in the form and clicking submit button. The contract details are fetched and displayed in the form.
Now i am Resetting the form using Reset Button, and giving new contract number (say 400000020). When I pressed Submit button , the details of the first entered contract number (400000000) is coming.
Then again I am giving 400000020 or any other number, it is fetching the details correctly for that number...
Can anyone help me in this issue..
Thanks,
Surya.

Forced Navigation - Want the next button to display after user clicks on all buttons.

Hi. I'm new to using Captivate to make a learning module. I'm stuck on this forced navigation issue. I created 8 click boxes that the users have to click on. I created 9 advanced actions. Each AA for the click boxes hides text boxes that don't pertain to it, shows a text box, plays audio, and assigns a number 1 to a variable I created. There are 8 variables. I then created an conditional AA that displays the next button once all 8 variables have the number 1 assigned to it.
For some reason, the next button doesn't display even though I'm sure each variable has the number 1 assigned to it. Also, I want the entire audio to play for the click box before the person can click on the next click box. Right now, I can click on a click box and then another click box right afterwards and the audio stops and the next audio starts. Can you all please help?
I am using Captivate 6.0.0.199. My computer is running Windows 7. I want the output to be SWF. Thank you in advance for your help!

First of all, install the patch, you are still on the unpatched version that had a lot of bugs. Almost one year ago a fix was released, your version should be 6.0.1.240. Use Help, Updates.
The difficult part will be the audio, the other part should be very easy, have explained that a lot of times. You could disable all click boxes, but then you need a new event to trigger the 'enable' action. Is it that important? Are those users not wise enough to listen to the audio, or is that audio not interesting enough? Why not instruct them about listening?
I suppose you use the Play Audio statement, and indeed, when you trigger another audio clip the previous one will be stopping. You could attach the audio to an 'invisible' object, and make that visible which will play the audio. But that will cause another issue if the user clicks too quickly on a second click box: both audio will play at the same time.

Hide/unhide radio buttons works in lab view, not in executable

Hello,
I simplified a program I am using. When I run in lab view the radio buttons are visible or not (as programmed). But when I create an executable, this function is not working any more?
Do I need to make changes in the build settings?
best regards,
Rens van Geffen
I attached the maintest.vi (lab view program) and the executable as well in a zipped folder.

I think it is a bug and reported it in the monthly bug thread.

Yes i know it is a dirty vi. But I only made it because I had a problem in a complicated vi, with lots of sub vi's etc. in that vi I have all wait functions etc.
I did not care about any wait function. I was just objecting about the overuse of value property nodes and that exceedingly complicated inner while loop construct that really does not do that much.
For example, your upper case structure contains writing to two value properties that exist in all cases, while the actual terminal just sits there outside the loop. The cases only need to contain what's different. Shared code elements belong outside the case! Instead of writing to value properties (which is synchronous and resource intensive), you can just write to the indicator terminal instead. Right?
In parallel to writing to the "group", you also read from another value property instance of the same. Since this happens in parallel to the case structure, you will read a stale value, and not what has been generated by the case structure during the same interation.
My code modification shows some of the simplications that can be done. Also note that data dependencies enforce the proper execution order.
Writing to the visible properties only needs to be done when the situation changes and not with every iteration of the loop. Once written, these proerties stay until changed to something else.
In summarry, these are just some recommendations. They will not fix the LabVIEW bug you exposed.

VPN works only after reload

Hello,
I have a Cisco ASA5505 setup for VPN trough IPSec (L2TP). I can connect from wherever I want to it using the user and password.
The only problem is that, after 2-3 days I have to reload the appliance because it denies connection on port 500 UDP. After the reload everything works fine again.
Do you know how to handle this kind of problem? Is is a bug in the software or it could be only a misconfiguration?

forget the diagnostics and launch airport utility and if a yellow button is showing, double click it and read what it says to correct.

Power button works only intermittently

Hi there,
When I try to turn on my macbook pro, (bought in October of 2009), it now takes several tries at times. For the first year and a half, I never had this issue.
A couple months back, it would only turn on if I unplugged devices connected via USB (external mouse, Internet stick) but at least then the computer would turn on, but not fully boot up.
Now, it sometimes doesn't turn on at all. My sense is that this is a separate issue. When it doesn't turn on, the little white light on the front right of the case comes on. I hold the power button down again, and there's a faint sound, and the light goes off. Sometimes, on the next try, the MBP will turn on, sometimes it takes 3 or more tries.
I'd take it to an apple store, but I'm in a small town in South India, and there are none nearby. I'm hoping to get some input before making a long treck to a bigger city so I can have it looked at.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Julian

i brought it to apple support and it turns out there was so much humidity in my room that that's what caused the problem. They opened it up, dried it out and it worked again.
I'm in Goa Indis right now, and it's monsoon season. Plus, I lived in a place right near the ocean. This is probably an unusual set of circumstances but I figured I'd add the solution in case somebody else ever runs into this.

Virtual hosts work only after I will restart a httpd

This is strange. I'm using Apache server, and have problem with virtual hosts. For example I have a host:
<VirtualHost myhost.localhost:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "/srv/http/projects/2014/myhost.pl/public_html"
ServerName myhost.localhost
ServerAlias www.myhost.localhost
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/myhost.localhost-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/myhost.localhost-access_log" common
<Directory "/srv/http/projects/2014/myhost.pl/public_html">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I also added a
127.0.0.1 myhost.localhost
line to /etc/hosts file.
Now when I restart my computer myhost.localhost will show me default "It works!" message, and just after "sudo systemctl restart httpd" the proper website will appear under this address. Why is that?

Not sure what your actual hostname is; but this is probably related to DNS not being available at boot. Depending on your actual name; apache might listen on the wrong interface / source-address for this domain; which is only fixed by restarting it when you have a working dns-server.

I just set up My computer and Airport extreme. Everything works . When I restart it says no connection and directs me to use the diagnostic after about for screens it detects the network and everything is fine. What can I do to resolve this?

Ipod works only after keeping it near the car airconditioning vents

I have an unique problem. I stay in the middle east and have left behind my ipod in the car a number of times. My 2 year IPod is showingm a unique problem. It refuses to send anything to the earplugs/car speakers for the first 5 minutes or so. However it operates smoothly (meaning on screen everything is fine).
Only when I keep the ipod on the air conditioning vents for a couple of minutes, the ipod starts working after making a few screeching noises..
Pls help.

The ipod was working fine for two years , so it should not be the temperature problem.
I disagree. Electronic components can be damaged by excessive heat, and since the temperature inside a car here in the UK on a mild spring day can be as high as 35° C, I would imagine that in the middle east, it would not take long for the heat build up to be well above the 45° C maximum specified by Apple.
Typically, when electronics get very hot, the metal components can expand and if the temperature goes above the design limits this can force the soldered connections of two different parts to separate, thereby causing all or part of the unit to stop functioning correctly. (I still have a first generation CD player that does this due to the amount of heat it generates internally. I've repaired it three times!) If a connection breaks, there is a theory that "freezing" the iPod (or rather - cooling it down) will cause the metal to contract and thereby make proper contact again, thus allowing the iPod to work. This is not a "fix" and may not work at all.
But what I've mentioned above applies to larger devices with parts you can see. The iPod has very small components and circuits that are too small to see with the naked eye, possibly making it even more prone to temperature damage.
Consider this; some manufacturers "test-bake" their products in special ovens so that they can prematurely age them in order to test how long they will last in real life. So the fact that your iPod worked without trouble for two years in excess temperatures does not mean that it will continue to do so.
Sorry to say that it sounds like your iPod is displaying the typical symptoms of a heat damaged electronic device.
