'Close Project' in Captivate 4 not working

Hi,
I have a number of projects where I set the preferences to close the project, and it works in some and not others.
I have a slide with a 'Done' button.  When the user clicks it, it goes to another slide with nothing on it but the background and a text caption from the previous screen, and it is set for only one second.  Some of these projects close perfectly; others delete the text caption and leave the project open.
Any ideas?
Thanks, as always.

Hmmm, it was intended to show you that you simply cannot rely on the different means of closing the window. Close Project and the Exit button are essentially the same action, no? Perhaps I should amend the note so it specifically also mentions the action of Close Project.
The thing is, unless you are presenting your Captivat using EXE format, you are seeing a very generic overall issue with closing a browser window. And closing browser windows is inherently fraught with issues and seldom works as one would expect. The only way to make it work as you want most of the time is to ensure you always open the window using JavaScript so it's a child window. When you open in this manner you have more control over the behavior of the child window and can usually close it at will.
Cheers... Rick

  • Ok, the project panel does not work anymore!!!!

    I'm using flash cs5.5 and today I opened my project to start working... just to find out that the project panel does not work. When I click the tab to expand it, flash hangs for a minute and then it works, but the panel is blank, empty. The odd thing, I saved the project as CS5 version to open it in the CS5 Flash, but CS5 it's broken too.
    I tried opening Flash (both versions) without loading any project and the tab does not work either.
    Anyone has an idea on this?
    Thanks!

    Ok, I think I get what the problem is... When I make right click over the PROJECT panel, it displays the flash player popup menu, so I guess it's made with flash/air. What I think is that my flash player is somehow screwed, so it don't displays the project panel contents and won't let me export my FLA files correctly. And it happens in both CS5 and CS5.5 versions.
    Maybe a clean reinstall of both should solve the issue... I reinstalled the CS5.5 two times, and didn't solve the problem, neither uninstalling/installing the flash player plugin for all browsers.
    kglad:
    I only see the tab, when I try to display the panel contents, FLASH hangs like for a minute, then it responds but the panel is blank... no menus, options, nothing.

  • Project Plan icon not working

    The little icon found on the left that allows you to access your project plan is not working for one of my project managers, who is the owner of that specific project. However in the Admin's view they are able to access it by clicking that button.
    Any thoughts why?

    Hi EPM Admin,
    The issue occurs only for 1 PM? Is the icon working for this PM with another view? Can the PM try on another machine? When you say that it doesn't work, do you have any error message or just nothing happens? Have you tried refreshing IE deleting the cache
    (press CTRL F5)?
    Hope this helps,

  • Captivate 5.5 project -links are not working when i publish to the IE server

    I was wondering if someone had a solution to my Captivate 5.5 project with external links. 
    Here is my problem:
    I have a page that has an external link that opens another window. 
    For some reason the window will open in preview.  However, when I publish to the IE browser it does not work. 
    Does someone have a solution to this problem?  I saw some verbiage that stated adjusting something swf file.  I don't quite understand were to change this file.  Is it in Captivate?
    Any information you have is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!
    Kat

    Google for information about Flash Global Security.
    It looks like you need to trust the publish folder location as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings.

  • Project link does not work in Office 365

    We recently signed up for Office 365 and Project Online.  That adds a link "Projects" in the top nav, but when I click on it, I get error "Sorry, this site isn't available right now. Give us few minutes and try again. If it still does
    not work, contact your administrator." Any ideas?
    Darwaish

    Hi Darwaish,
    How long ago did you sign up?  We have seen some issues where it has take a while or needed re-provisioning.  I'd suggest you follow the support options from the page
    https://portal.microsoftonline.com/Support/SupportOverview.aspx# - the right hand section and the "Contact Support..." option.  We can look into this and get you sorted.

  • Close button - FPM WebDynpro - not working after upgrade NW 7.01/SP10

    Hi,
    I have developed a form using FPM Webdynpro. When click on a workitem in UWL, it launches the form which I have developed.
    One of the standard buttons on the form is "CLOSE" button (Which automatically appears). This was useful to close the window and was working fine all these days.
    Over the weekend our basis team upgraded the system to Basis patch SP10 and NW 7.01 SP10 patch for Portal.
    Since then when I click on "CLOSE" button, it doesn't close the window and message on the window is "Application was terminated; you can close the window".
    Please let me know how to resolve this issue. Thanks.
    Regards,
    Vijay.

    This is to do with web browser we use. When you press close button the window.close script is called. However the browser checks if window.opener is filled or not. If it is empty you get warning message to confirm your action.
    please read it here how logoff is working

  • Projecting macbook pro not working

    I hooked up my macbook pro to a project and the only thing displayed on the screen was my desktop image (no icons). Tried to change the display size on my macbook and projector - still not working.
    Does anyone have any idea what is happening? What is the solution to my problem.
    Thanks

    This is because your computer in in extended desktop and not on mirror dipays. You will notice you can drag your windows the right and they will pop up on the projector. If you would like to mirror the display on your MacBook Pro and on your projector, go into system preferences and the to displays while connected to the projector. There should be a check box allowing you to mirror the displays.

  • Trial Captivate not working

    I was somewhat embarrased today. I touted Captivate as the direction we should go in our elearning efforts. I proposed to download the trial version and produce an 8 slide proof-of-concept of the 8 hour course we are tasked with building. It will rely heavily on recorded audio instruction with matching closed captions. We were able to put an audio clip on a slide but the dialog and controls you would use to apply closly timed closed captions simply would not work. The simplest thing such as play a preview of the audio file would not work. Please don't think it was operator error because my neighbor turned me on to the app and let me practice with his the night before I showed it to my bosses. Thus I know how to work the app. Also I 'm sure nothing is wrong with the computer or audio system because audio works well with Flash, Camtasia, Dreamweaver, Premiere etc. on that PC.
    I hope someone get me working in the right direction because Captivate would be perfect for what we need to do.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Hi Al
    Sorry about the lack of detail. Fortunately, and I hope you will agree, Jing is dead simple to use, so you hopefully didn't have too much of an issue with it.
    From what the video shows, you are using either Vista or Windows 7. So there are a few things I'll mention.
    Are you running Captivate in Administrative mode? On Vista or Windows 7, you get a warning about that when starting Captivate about needing to be in Administrative mode. If you look at the properties of the shortcut that starts Captivate, you should see something like this:
    Note that I've also got mine (I'm on Windows 7 64 bit) configured to run in Compatibility mode. I'm not 100% sure the compatibility mode is needed, but thought I'd point it out.
    You would also want to download and install the service release for Captivate 4.
    So try configuring as stated and see if things improve for you.
    Cheers... Rick

  • 1013 ADF project migration does not work

    I have previously developed a simple ADF application using Jdeveloper 1012 that contains the following components.
    1. a data page called start that contains a simple form where a user can input a name and a number
    2. this page then forwards onto a dataAction called doSomething that bings these values to a refresh method on a collection that I have written
    3. the refresh method then builds up the collection of test values, i.e. 1_David, 2_David, 3_David etc up to the number that the user entered on the form.
    4. I have used the invokeCustomMethod within the dataAction to manually force the itterator to refresh on the colleciton when the doSomething dataAction is called.
    5. this then forwards onto a dataPage called results that displays the contents of the populated collection as a read only table.
    please note that this colleciton is populated on-the-fly using a custom refreshMethod that I have written for the collection and does not retrieve data from a database.
    THIS WORKS FINE IN JDEVELOPER 1012.
    I have then tried to open this project in Jdeveloper1013. This wizard asks me if I would like to convert the project to the new format - to which I agree, but then when I try and run the program the application fails.
    I'd appreciate any help/suggestions that you may have as to why this happens.

    Hi Shay,
    I'm not getting any specific error messages when I do the conversion, the applicaiton just does not work anymore.
    As I have previously said the application I am trying to migrate from 1012 uses a collection that a dataAction populates when it is called using a refreshMethod that I have written.
    When I run the "converted" application in 1013 I don't get any errors at all but the applicaiton does not populate my collection any more. I think this may be down to the fact that I am manually resetting the itterator on the collection to -1 (therefore forcing it to be rebuilt when the dataAction is called). I have done this by using the invokeCustomMethod which is no longer supported in 1013.
    I am currently discussing this fact here:
    1013 - Force Collection To Refresh Different To 1012
    I'd appreciate any other ideas/suggestions that you may have as to why the migration process is not working correctly for ADF applications that have been developed in this manner, especially as I would like to convert a VERY large application that was developed in this way using JDeveloper 1012 into 1013 so that I can utilise the new enterprise manager within the OC4J 1013 server.

  • Updating sandbox solutions in project online does not work?

    Hello
    We have created a sandbox solution (version 1 - test.wsp-) with Visual Studio 2012. This sandbox solution only writes the URL in a log: "V1_http://contoso.com". Everything works fine when we launch a workflow. I mean, we create a project through
    "new project" button. This project has a Enterprise Project Type associated to the previous workflow.
    Now we update the sandbox solution (version 2 -test.wsp-) with Visual Studio 2012 adding a new functionality (deactivate old solution/upload new sandbox solution/actívate the new sandbox solution). We have modified the sandbox solution in order to write "V2_http://contoso.com".
    Our test is as follows: We use the same Enterprise Project Type and we create a new project with the same workflow. When the project is created, the log still writes the URL defined in the sandbox solution (version 1 -test.wsp- "V1_http://contoso.com")
     instead of the one we have defined in the sandbox solution (version 2 -test.wsp- "V2_http://contoso.com).
    It seems that when we update a sandbox solution, changes are not taking place in Project Online.
    Changes take place only when we create a new sandbox solution, with a different name.
    Does anybody have the same issue?

    We solved it!

  • Re: Navigation in adobe captivate not working?

        I am facing an issue with adobe captivate swf generation.......
        I have generated an swf presentation using Adobe Captivate 4.
        The generated swf looks as in the above image.
        I searched the in the internet,  but couldnt find a proper solution
        The issue is that i have created a swf using adobe CP,  with slides from a ppt file.
        All these slides contain audio files attached to it.....
        After publishing, it works well except when clicking on a slide in the Table of Contents
       ( slide number shown in left of above image),
        the   player cannot navigate to the selected slide.
        It was first thought of being an issue related to the buffering of the video.
        But later on came to know that, even after waiting for long, the slide doesnt get played.
        Same is the case when dragged on navigation bar(Shown in the bottom of the above image).
        The enable navigation option is set but still the problem persist....
         Pls help me if u can.....

    Hi there
    Perhaps thy this. Click Project > Table of Contents. Then click the Settings button in the lower left corner. Is there a check mark in the "Enable Navigation" check box?
    If you see a check mark, clear it. Then dismiss the dialog. Then click the button again and click to place the check mark there. But if there is NOT a check mark, that's the issue. Navigation hasn't been enabled.

  • After latest update 20.0.1 when opening a new tab, close, minimize, maximize are not working. Also using arrow in online dropdown menu's are non-selectable.

    After automatically updating to version 20.0.1 yesterday the buttons in the upper right corner minimize, maximize, close stop working when I open a new tab. When only one tab is open they do work. Also when downloading a file ( and again this opens a new pop-up window ) after clicking save file there is no response. The save file button looks as if it is pushed but there is no download going on.
    I tried safe mode, didn't help.
    I tried switching off all add-ons, didn't help.
    I tried reset, didn't help.
    I even tried uninstalling and re-installing firefox, didn't help.
    The only thing that works for a couple of seconds is when I go to options in the firefox menu, close the pop-up the buttons in the upper corner are active for a couple of seconds.

    Hello,
    I kept searching a solution for this problem and I found that: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956417
    You just have to update the Add-on Firebug from 1.10.6 to the latest version 1.11.2. If it's not that Add-on try with another Add-on.

  • Imported project from CVS not working.

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a weird problem with the use of CVS.
    I am a new user of CVS, i installed a cvs server and i am trying to test its functionnalities within JDEV so that i can explain to the team i am working with how to use and benefit from it use.
    But right now i have a hard time using it. I imported the project to CVS using the command line and then i checked it out using jdev. the problem is that when i compile i get an error on every jspx page the error is a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException for the following lines in the source of the jspx :
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
    <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:afh="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/html"
    xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces">
    Also the the design view of the page is in designer mode and not in normal edit mode.(i only see embedded boxes one inside the other)
    I did a test i took the project from the folder that i used to import it to cvs and this version is working perfectly no errors at all.
    What could be the cause of this problem.
    I am using jdev 10.1.3.3 with cvs version: 1.11.17
    If further information is needed just ask me!
    Any help will be appreciated
    and thank you for your time
    Regards,
    Carl

    Hi all and thx for your time,
    I did some more extensive testing and i actually got it to work on a redhat machine. But i tried on 2 different windows machine and it does not want to work!!! But as i said from the redhat machine it worked right out of the box!!!
    On the windows machines i tried the jdev native cvs client and i also tried to install a newer version of cvsnt and i specified the path in my project unsuccesfully. I am running out of tests to try... Could it have to do with file permissions since the server is on a redhat machine and i try to import into windows!!! (i dont think this is even an issue but i am ready to consider every options)
    Thanks again for your time and involvement.
    Regards,

  • Thunderbird Mac - command+w for close Mail & newsgroups window not working

    I use almost all keyboard shortcuts. So when I need to close the email window without quitting the program, I've *always* just hit command+w. It stopped working a few days ago. it doesn't even work if I choose "close window" in the File menu. In order to close the window, I have to click the close button in the corner.
    Can anyone help me figure out why this suddenly happened?
    Thanks!

    "I am using the standard (wired) pro keyboard that came with the iMac (G5)."
    Interesting!
    Your system info confirms you have the G5 iMac w/iSight. So do I & mine did not come w/the Pro Keyboard.
    According to Apple's iMac G5 (iSight) - Technical Specifications site:
    Hardware accessories: Apple Remote, Apple Keyboard, Mighty Mouse.
    Now, to your problem.............
    See if trashing the keyboard preference helps and/or repairing permissions.
    Does the problem occur in other browsers? If so, maybe updating your OS may help. Just a thought.
