CC for roll over caption

Hello,
First of all. I just discovered this forum yesterday and
already find it extremely helpful. Like some others I also miss a
extensive manual, trial and error is not sufficient to discover all
the functionality of the product, but this forum answers lots of
questions.
Anyway, my question:
I have been able to add audio to roll over captions, but also
need to include close captions for it, as part of my audience is
not able to hear the audio. So far I only have been able to include
CC for the slide, not for individual roll over captions on the
slide.
Do I miss something, or is there a work around?
Thanks, Helga

Hi again Helga
A thought occurs here. You could instruct the user to click
for more information. Then the click would cause a jump to a
different slide where the audio played and closed captioning would
appear.
Orrr, thinking outside the box a bit, you *might* be able to
get what you want by using the new Rollover Slidelet object. Here's
how it might work. Create a Captivate project that will only be
used to display inside the slidelet. Configure audio and closed
captioning, then publish as a .SWF. Then drop that .SWF into a
Rollover Slidelet as an animation object. I've not tested this,
just thinking out loud. But it may be worth trying. I may do that
this evening...
Cheers... Rick

Roll-over Captions / Regular Captions - Audio

Hello all!
I have a lot of rollover elements that describe different
objects within our application for my project... I have recorded
audio for the captions themselves (rollovers), and also have click
boxes behind them, for the user to click and get more in-depth
with. I have noticed that when the object is clicked, the rollover
audio continues to play on to the next slide. I haven't seen the
option to "pause audio" or "stop audio when etc etc etc.." option
for captions.. Any way to get around this?
( I can post an example of hte demo if you like..)

I am sittinghere, trying to finisha rather large project that
I have beentrying to get done for a while.. Ican't post it, as the
info in it is sensitive and proprietary. I can make short example
of what I am talking about, but honestly I need to devote my time
to theproject at hand....
Basically... Lets say I have a drop down menu. there are 4
items on that drop down menu. I have rollover captions that explain
each one of these items in the menu. There is also a click box
behind the rollover captions, that will take the user to another
portion of the tutorial, covering that menu item in-depth. If the
user clicks on the item, before the rollover caption has finished
it's audio, the audio from the roll-over caption is carried to the
next slide. That next slide may have background audio and the one
rollover audio, will overlap the background audio of the next
slide.
Now lets say I have a button, to return to the previous
screen. When the user clicks that button, the previous screen is
re-shwon, and the caption, from the rollover caption, is still
showing. Regardless of where the mouse is at, until you put your
mouse over a separate rollover, in which case the other will go
away.
I hope that made more sense. If not, then I will take out a
little time, and post a demo of what I mean. I can repeat this
"error" so to speak, all day, lol.
Thanks for the reply!

Please could someone tell me if its possible to get my recording to record roll over captions?

Hi All
I am making a recording of some slides in a captivate e learning course to be used as a demo for the course. Please could someone tell me if its possible to get my recording to record roll over captions. If I click on the roll over link rather than let the mouse just roll over it, in the recording it records the caption box but before the mouse path gets to it which gives an inaccurate picture of what happens, if I don't click anything then it doesn't record that I rolled my mouse over it. I'm hoping its a setting somewhere. I did try and add the captions as an image but then it doesn't show a mousepath aaaagggghhhhh!!! Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated.
Janet

Hi there, Janet
I'm confused by your description. Are you saying you have created a Captivate that you are playing back, and recording the Captivate you created using Captivate?

Best approach for roll over in BPC?

Hi All,
We are currently looking for the best approach in SAP BPC for the roll
forward of closing balances into opening balances from the previous
year to the current period.
Our current approach takes the closing balance account lines from the
previous year , copies them into specific opening year members (f_init
and ob_init) using business transformation rules then every month there
are business transformation rules which takes these values in local and
base currency to calculate the fx gain\loss and also copies over the
closing balance at the historic rate into the opening balance of the
current period. This approach takes both input data and journal data
into account.
We also need to take into account now the fact that we need to pull
through any journals which were posted to adjustment companies and some
(but not all) legal entities for traditional lines which do not have
typical opening balance accounts (e.g. cash, stock, accruals etcu2026). The
approach above can work but we need to add the relevant opening balance
accounts.
Please could you advise whether there is a better approach than this?
Kind Regards,
Fiona

I normally prefer saving images in LocalFolder and save file name in database table. I prefer this because saving just file name will keep size of SQLite database small so will load faster.

Roll over images not appearing in a preview

I've created a new project and have had had previous success in making roll over images/captions work but now nothing in this new project is appearing when I preview the slide, not the images or the roll over captions. I'm using Captivate 6.
Sorry if i'm not explaining it properly but I've only started using the program this week and have no idea about any of it.
cheers
Emma

Hi Emma
I note you said: Preview the *SLIDE*. And in that type of preview, all you will ever be able to do is to view when objects appear or disappear or move. Interactive objects such as rollovers will never work in the slide preview. You must preview a different way. (Project, Next X number of slides, From this slide, etc)

The roll over feature doesn't work for customizing, is there a way I can fix this

I always have to change my browsers theme to see what it looks like, instead of just roll over. Is there a way to fix this?

Roll Over text for key figures

Our business users are requesting us to apply the "Roll Over Text" to the APO/DP Key Figures. Currently the text pop-up displays only the key figure name when you keep the curser on it. We would like to have pop-up text with 40 character values when the curser keeps on the keyfigure in the Interactive Planning Book.
We have more than 60 keyfigure in each planning book (total around 200 Keyfigures) and most of the key figure names are looks similar, to avoid confusion we would like to maintain the 40 character note should display when some body would like to know about the keyfigure.
Is there any possibility to maintain the rollover text in Planning Area or Planning Book or any where else ? Is there any performance issues if we design in this way ?

Write a macro which can run on start.
Row: Forecast ( Attributes ) = ROW_TOOLTIP( 'Forecast Constrained Plan' ) .
In this case, the Row Forecast will have tool tip "Forecast Constrained Plan"

Exporting with alpha for html roll over

I am doing some animations for use on a website. so that when someone rolls over a particular element it would play a 3secong video of a Jack popping out of his box.
The video will be uploaded to the server space specified for the website.
That is the best way/format to export this animation?
Are there thisng other than resolution to consider?

Use flash. Render an h.264 and use flash to embed the movie. Any media player is going to give you a player window.
To make it mobile compatible, set your comp's frame rate to something like 6 or 10, make the comp 2X the size of your roll over to accommodate high rez displays, export an animation codec QuickTime with an alpha channel, bring the movie into Photoshop and save an animated gif from the movie. Much easier implementation too. Just use the gif as a roll over image.

Fixed Image roll over question....

I am putting the finishing touches on my photography business site (www.colbybrownphotography.com) and came across an interesting problem. Instead of using iWEB's photo gallery pages (which I can't stand) I decided to set up my page as an art portfolio with an "art gallery" feel to it. The photos in my "home" section are set up as links so when I roll over them they list where they are redirecting you, but in my actually gallery they are fixed images. Is there any ability to add roll over text to those photos where I could possible talk about the particular photo that the mouse scrolls over? I knew I would be limited when I decided to use iWeb to put together my site but I have been surprised lately with at least a few of the ideas I figured would be out of its technical reach. Thanks in advance.

There's also this +Tooltip DHTML Library+. At the following link, mouseover the image there...
http://www.walterzorn.com/tooltip/tooltip_e.htm
...I don't know how easy these scripts are to incorporate into an iWeb site using +HTML Snippets+, but if you get them working, please post back here explaining how you did it.
The following thumbnail viewer is beyond what you were asking for, but anyway, click on the examples here and watch the captions drop down...

Text buttons and roll over

Hi
I have text buttons and want to make the text bold when the user rolls over. (this is a menu)
Are there any other ways besides having the text as a master slide and then click boxes and roll overs, I realise I can do text buttons but there is a small icon that I need at the front of the text which will also need to be clickable.
thanks

Bold only when rolling over? That means that you will not be able to use it for HTML5 output? Only SWF is OK?
My first idea is to use the EventHandler widget of InfoSemantics (not free but you can download a trial version), because it can create a rollover event for your text button. Anyway you'll have to create a transparent text container (shape or caption) that has the Bold Text and appears when rolling over. If you don't want to go with that widget, you can simulate the same by using the Rollover slidelet (you'll need only the Area, can drag the Slidelet itself outside of the sldie), that has a rollover event that can trigger an action to show that previously hidden transparent text.
Welcome to the forum, just one tip: mention the version number (exact number, which you find under Help, About Captivate) when you post a question.

Display element only if other elements have been clicked or rolled over (Captivate 5)

Hello
I am trying to find a way to display a text caption IF the users have rolled-over all the elements in my slide. Is it possible?
I had a look at the variables but it doesn't seem to be that.
Cheers
Helene

Hello,
The eventhandler widget is great if you do want to go with Rollover captions or Rollover images. Because those objects do not have the possibility to have an action attached to. If you use a rollover slidelet, it is possible to trigger an action on rollover and on click, that way you could increment a user variable.
The idea shortly is this:
Hide the text caption that will have to show up
Either create a user variable (counter) that will be incremented on first click or rollover an element; to be able to check if the element has already been clicked or had a rollover create another user variable for each element set initially to 0, it will be changed to 1 when clicked/rollover
For each action (will have to be an advanced action) attached to the rollover slidelet you'll have to check several things:
has this already been visited (rollover or click) by checking the associated element variable; if not increment the user variable (counter) and set the associated element variable to 1
check the counter (important that this check is done after the first one): if it has reached the maximum (all elements visited), show the text caption; if not just continue (or no action, depends on what is happening else on the slide).
I have been blogging about similar use cases, not exactly this one.

Roll over balloons in eBay searches not poping up w/ Safari 2.0.4

Is there a setting or a technique to once again allow roll over balloons to pop up on eBay search listings? I'm referring to the "Enlarge" roll over link in the Gallery picture of search results. This is a "paid for" option that some sellers use.
I do not have "Block Pop-up Windows" checked off in the Security Preference window.
Firefox still allows this, but on both a Powerbook G4 and a iMac Dual Core using Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3) this feature is no longer working for me. (It had worked in Safari until three days ago...could I have inadvertaently changed something?)
For an example of a roll over balloon try searching eBay for an item of interest, and then scan down the resulting list. Typically a few items in large search results will have the "Enlarge" roll over below the gallery picture of an item being sold.

Thanks again.
BTW... I just received this from eBay in regard to my questioning them about this problem. As you said, they seem to be disregarding Safari.
Dear eBay Member,
Thank you for writing eBay in regard to the problem you are experiencing
while trying to list your item using the Safari browser.
If you are using OS X 10.2.x or higher, I would like to suggest using
the Firefox browser. This browser seems to be the most compatible format
for Macintosh users for eBay Picture Services.
If you don't already have this browser installed on your computer,
please visit the following page to download the Firefox browser:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/all
Once the page loads, please select which language you would like to
download, and click on the link under the Mac OS X column.
If you are using OS X 10.2.8 or older, I would then recommend using the
Netscape browser. If you don't have this browser installed on your
computer, please visit the following page:
http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/download/archive72x.jsp
Thank you for being a valuable member of the eBay community. Have an
enjoyable time shopping and selling on eBay!
Sincerely,
Adam

How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

Hello,
Here is the problematic:
1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

I tried to contact support but they do not recognise my Thai phone number.
the Thai support site is all in Thai (and I neither read or write it).
All I want is a single email address that works - it must be quite a simple process.
I don't want to create another account with another credit card - life will just get seriously complicated then.
BTW my apple I'd is accepted for downloading free apps!!!

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

How do I make a textbox appear in a PDF made in InDesign CC when the cursor rolls over another textbox?

I'm trying to make a textbox appear in a PDF made in InDesign when the user rolls the cursor over another textbox, and I want it to disappear when the cursor moves off the first textbox. I've tried the following with various setting, and it's just not working for me.
Display a different button on rollover
You can create a hot spot in which clicking or mousing over an object displays another object. To do this, create two buttons, hide one of the buttons, and use the Show/Hide Button action to show and hide the target button.
Create an object to be used as the source button. In the Buttons panel, click the Convert Object To A Button icon.
Place the image you want to be used as the target button, and convert it to a button.
Select the target image and select Hidden Until Triggered at the bottom of the Buttons panel.
The image needs to be hidden in the exported document so that it can be displayed when the source button is moused over or clicked.
Select the source button and create two different actions, one to show the target image and a second to hide the target image.
If you want the image to appear when the mouse hovers over the source button, use the On Roll Over and On Roll Off events. If you want the image to appear when you click the source button and disappear when you release it, use the On Click and On Release events. In either case, use the Show/Hide Buttons action to display and hide the target button. See Make buttons interactive.
Use the Preview panel to test the buttons.

Here's more information about what I'm doing.
1. create text box with a little text
2. turn it into a button (Button 1)
3. create another text box with some text
4. turn this into a button (Button 2)
5. check "Hidden Until Triggered" for Button 2
6. For Button 1, select "On Roll Over" for Event
7. For Button 1, click + to add Action and choose "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms"
8. For Button 1, change icon next to Button 2 into eyeball (which I assume makes Button 2 visible on roll over).
9. For Button 1,, select "On Roll Off" for Event
7. For Button 1, click + to add Action and choose "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms"
8. For Button 1, change icon next to Button 2 into crossed-out eyeball (which I assume makes Button 2 invisible on roll off).
8. Export to PDF with modified smallest file size and include bookmarks and hyperlinks and include appearance for interactive elements.
Both buttons are visible in the PDF, and nothing happens with roll over and off.
What am I doing wrong?
