Change default "on success" behavior for click box?

Hello,
I create a lot of pptx --> Adobe Captivate eLearnings, and as you know, when the slides are imported, they are given a click box, which when clicked, advance the user to the next slide. I want to keep the click boxes to stop the project at the end of each slide, but dont want the user to be able to interact with it. (I have a customized navigation bar) I can achieve this by changing the "on success" behavior to "no action". Question -- do i have to do this for every click box? Unfortunately, I cannot apply this to all click boxes like I can apply the timing settings, for example.
Thanks for any help!!
Ryan

As far as I know....and hopefully someone can correct me (I would be curious for sure)... but I don't think you can change the properties of multiple click boxes across slides all at the same time. Other items like buttons and smart shapes can be visually adjusted using the Object style manager, but as far as On Success options and such...unless you select them all in a given slide, you can't. Clickboxes can't even be added to master slides unfortunately. If the clickbox can be in a common place across slides, I would delete all of the clickboxes except the first, make the necessary changes to that one, then do a ctrl+c for copy, and then just paste it into all of the remaining slides. Again, I hope there's an easier way someone can share.

Failure attempts for click boxes

I am curious as if there is a way to create failure attempts for click boxes, the same way they are available for question slides?
Thanks,
Judy

Here is a possible work flow:
Created 3 click boxes, same size, same location (is only possible in CP6, forgot to ask the version you are using): CB_1, CB_2, CB_3 Only the first of them is visible, visibility checked off for CB_2 and CB_3
Click boxes have 1 attempt, the default action for Success 'Go to Next Slide' is OK; for After Last Attempt I created a standard advanced action for each click box: Fail1, Fail2, Fail3
Have an initially invisible text container Failure12 that will show up for the two first failures. I had the text 'Please again, attempt $$v_counter$$' That user variable v_counter would indicate the number of the attempt, perhaps not necessary?
For the last, third failure I created a group 'Last' of two initially invisible objects one text container with the incorrect message and a Next button (so that the incorrect caption can be read and then the user clicks on the button)
Fail1 action, triggered by CB_1:
Expression v_counter = v_counter + 1            if you do not need the counter, skip this, it will result for Fail1 in a value 1
Show Failure12                                            the text container with the guide text
Hide CB_1
Show CB_2                                                  so the first click box is disabled and the second will become functional
Fail2 action, triggered by CB_2:
Expression v_counter = v_counter + 1            if you do not need the counter, skip this, it will result for Fail2 in a value 2
Hide CB_2
Show CB_3                                                  so the second click box is disabled and the third will become functional
Fail3 action, triggered by CB_3:
Hide CB_3
Hide Failure12
Show Last                                                    this is the group with the incorrect caption and the Next button
Writing out this answer took me more time than creating the actions in Captivate. Hope it makes sense?

Need Label/Title for Click Box Button for Screen Reader

Version: Captivate 3
1) We created an online course for a government client. The next screen navigation (next/back) we used click boxes. However, when read by a screen reader it just says "click box 1", "click box 2", etc. We need it to say "back", :"next" etc.
CAN THIS BE DONE?
2) We did try a workaround with buttons by making the text a tiny font size and the same color as the background to fool the program. However, the buttons become inactive when the movie time is up. We need to buttons to stay active because if the user walks away to the restroom and comes back we don't want them to have to restart the program.
Is there any way to keep buttons active eventhough the movie is complete?

Hello Chaitak,
It looks like the problem is not in the Click event. The Ribbon UI is a static thing from its birth. You need to use callbacks, not to set values in the Load event like you did for any UI controls in .Net applications.
There is no need to handle the Click event of the toggleButton control for changing the label property. Instead, you need to use the callback. For example, to change the label you need to declare the getLabel attribute. And when you need to update/refresh
values you can call the
Invalidate method of the IRibbonUI interface. It invalidates the cached values for all of the controls of the Ribbon user interface, your callbacks are invoked to get new values.
You can read more about the Ribbon UI (Fluent UI) in the following series of articles in MSDN:

Pausing Movie for Click Boxes

Hi everyone -
This is my first time on this forum and I'm fairly new to
Captivate, so please be gentle :)
I am creating a movie that highlights accomplishments for a
department over time. Using the "Click Box" feature, I'm creating
links from the movie to Flash, GIF, PDF files, websites, etc. that
highlight some of these accomplishments. What I would like to do is
stop the movie while the viewer explores some of these links in a
new window, but I cannot figure out how to do this. I've attempted
to do this by clicking the dropdown arrow to the right of the "Open
URL or file:" field in the "Click Box" popup window. In this menu,
I click "New," and uncheck "Continue playing movie."
Alas! This does not work for me. I publish the movie and give
it a test run. When I click on the "Click Box" links in the movie,
my URL or file opens up just fine in a new window, but when I come
back to the movie, it is finished because it was still running
while I was exploring my links.
Am I missing something in "Options" or the "Click Box" tab?
Is it possible to stop the movie while the viewer explores links?
I am using Version 1.0.1188, Build 1188 (Education Version)
of Captivate, and viewing my movie in Mozilla 5.0 on a PC with
Window XP.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris :)

Hi, I have a similar issue with click boxes. I have a few
slides which follow the same pattern: I have some instructional
text which spans the length of the slide with fade in and fade out
effects. I also have a click box positioned over a button image
which the user is required to click to proceed. The click box is
set to appear a few seconds into the slide, before the text starts
to fade out.
The idea is that the instructions fade in, tell the user to
click the button, then the click box appears and pauses the slide,
the user clicks the button and the slide finishes playing, fading
out the text and moving on to the next slide.
The slide does wait for the user to click the button before
proceeding to the next slide, but the slide fails to pause, and the
instructions fade out before the user clicks the button. Just to
prove that the slide has not paused, I placed an image set to
appear after the click box appears, so if the slide had paused when
the click box appeared, the image would not appear until the user
had clicked it. However, the image does appear, the instructions
fade out, the slide plays to the end and only then does it pause.
Both the click box and instructions have their duration set
to "Rest of slide", the instructions starting at 0 seconds, fading
in over one second, starting to fade out at 4 seconds, and ending
at 5 seconds. The click box is set to appear 4 seconds in, just
before the instructions start to fade out. The click box action is
set to "continue".
I managed to solve my problem (kind of) by using an invisible
button instead of a click box, but an invisible button is also
invisible in the editing environment, making it hard to spot.
So is there a bug with click boxes? Or is there something I'm
missing? Should we avoid click boxes altogether and just use
buttons for every clickable element?
Thanks,
Scott

To change default backup file permission for dsconf

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible and ADVISABLE to change the default backup file permission for dsconf util. We're having two OS users, once which runs the script, and other which runs the dsconf. We're not allowed to schedule crontab from the second user profile. Hence, the user which runs the script will not be able to purge the old backup files as part of the backup process.
-rw------- 1 tty gis 32M Dec 15 22:00 usersConfig-15-12-11.ldif
Any thoughts if anyone has come across such issue.
Thanks, JPrince

So if I understand correctly, there is one user which creates the backups, and can run cron scripts. A second user runs some script on the backup, but doesn't have permissions to remove the backup once the script finishes.
Changing the permissions on the file itself is not enough, you have to have write permission on the directory which contains it as well. This doesn't sound (to me) like something you really want to do.
What I would suggest thinking about is having directory or file somewhere that both users can read/write.
When the script finishes processing, write the name of the backup into that file (or create an empty file in the directory with the same name as the backup).
Run a cron script from the first user (the one that creates the backups) which checks for names of processed files. If it finds any, it removes those backups, and the names from the file/directory.

What is the the tag I can use in a custom conversion publish/print template for click box text?

I have customized a conversion template to generate a storyboard but I can not find a tag to grab the text found in the click box text. I am able to grab all text captions from text boxes. HELP!

Not that I know of.<br />
Maybe it works if you would specify a font (!important) that doesn't have those glyphs.

Change Default Application level setting for checkbox value from "On"/"Off" to 1/0

Hi,
I am creating livecycle designer forms. In that the checkboxes take a default value of "On'/"Off" and I have to change it to 1 and 0 in all the boxes on layout checkbox property.
In livecycle i have to change it in Object-Binding tab.
Is there an application level setting where I can set the default to 1 and 0 instead of "on/"off" at the app level itself? this way every new form will have 0 and 1 instead of off/on
I export the form data to XML and push it to database and it needs 1 and 0.
I need the app setting for both Adobe Acrobat 9 Extended Pro
Please help

It is 1/0 by default .....if you drag a checkbox from the object library onto the canvas and you are getting on/off as your default, then you have modified th eobject. You can set the object the way you want (anf property not just binding) and then you can drag the object back onto the Library palette. This will ask you to name it and if you choose the same name it will overwrite the one that is in the library.

Send to: Changing default texts/system-url for emails

Hi, I would like to change the default texts for emails send by "Send to". The specific problem is, that the system-url in the link to the object isn't correct.
for example: http://testsystem... instead of http://productive...
Have you got any ideas where to change this?
Thanks a lot
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
I don't know where you have this problem but if this when you create a room you should modify in:
System Administration-System Configuration-Collaboration- Room Backend Properties- you can generate the access url to collaboration room.

Change default maps link behavior?

Hi--
Is there a way to open Google Maps (via a browser) instead of Apple Maps when I click a location link in, say, Contacts?

Interesting. I would have thought it would always use the units specified by your Region Format.

Click-box behavior and calling javascript

Greetings,
While working on a project I have noticed odd behavior
concerning click-box behavior where there are more than one
click-box on a slide.
Here is the situation:
I have a Captivate (2) lesson project. In several slides I
have an area on the slide where the user can access material
outside the lesson. They do this via clicking a click-box. The
click-box is set to fire a javascript that opens the additional
content (an outside url) in window that "floats" above the
currently viewed slide.
The javascript is a standard open browser window script with
passed parameters.
Here is the script being called (it is located in
standard.js):
function openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features)
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
This script is being called in Captivate in:
Insert -> Click-box -> If the user clicks inside the
box, On Success -> Execute Javascript
An example of a typical call:
Click box -> JavaScript: -> In the window/field is:
javascript:openBrWindow('
http://www.mydomain.com/about/org-pol/f-07/f-07-016.html','mypolicy','width=800,height=600 ,scrollbars=yes');
This works fine. A window with this URL opens up over the
stopped slide.
The odd behavior comes in where I have more than one of these
click-boxes on a slide. If the user clicks a second click box, the
correct (different) URL opens up in a window OK, but the slide (now
behind the new, open window) advances. It shouldn't advance to the
next slide. It should stay put until a user clicks a particular
button to advance.
Has anyone seen this type of behavior before? Is this a bug
in Captivate 2? Or a bad javascript call? Any thoughts?
Thank you for your input.
TPK

Hi TPK
When you edit the properties of the Click Box, note that
there are two buttons to the right of the "JavaScript" field. One
is an ellipsis ( ... ) and you probably clicked that one to enter
the script. The other is a down arrow. You need to click the down
arrow and DE-select the option labeled "Continue playing project".
You will need to do this for each Click Box the user may interact
with where you don't want the slide to continue if the user clicks.
Cheers... Rick

Helix's synaptics bottom right click box

Other than the dropping wireless I get randomly when doing a large download from the internet, the only other issue I have with my 1 week old Helix now is that default bottom right corner "right click" box. The properties of the driver allow you to make the box larger or leave it at the default smaller area, but they don't allow for complete removal.
I've been googling my butt off, and found some threads in a few places about it, and had been hopeful about one that mentioned a registry entry for button4, but having tried what it recommended (changing the value) it sitll is there. Since I have it set to use a two finger touch for right clicking, this just interferes with my normal operations (although the 2 finger click still works fine at least).
Having come from Macbooks since 2009 (I transitioned to them from Tablet PC's becuase I loved their trackpad) I am used to being able to click with my thumb anywhere and have it be a left click. This is especially important when it's on my laptop and I'm trying to drag something, when my thumb naturally will fall on the bottom right of the trackpad becuase of the angle my right arm has to the keyboard.
Has anyone with a Helix managed to come up with a way to remove this right click area completely?
Thanks for any help
John

My guess would be that your colleague has not trusted the publish folder location in his Flash Global Security settings:
