CP4: See Highlight Box Item Names in the Timeline?

In Edit View, right-click a highlight box. Select Properties, and then Options. Type anything in the Item Name field and click OK. What you type is stored there, but is there any way for me to see it on the timeline? I can see image names, text caption names, slide names, but not highlight boxes. This would be very helpful.

Hello,
That is one of the less-known features that were added in CP5, but sorry, not there in CP4. Moreover those labels in CP5 are also now visible in the Advanced Interaction view. I talked about it in this blog post:

The item "(name of the song)" can't be replaced because it's invisible!!??!

I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue.
I've been backing up my song purchases to the time capsule but for some reason on half of my songs i get an error that says "*The item (name of the song) can't be replaced because its invisible*"
never had this problem before until now... not sure how to fix it. i can play my songs no problem but when i try to copy a song to the time capsule i get that error message. HELP!

The issue has nothing to do with your original files (I'm pretty sure) so the profession of being able to play the song in iTunes has nothing to do with it. The file that's "invisible" is not the original, but the copy that's already in the destination folder. OS X has LOTS of invisible files all over the place. Why didn't you know that before? They're invisible! Usually these are files the system needs for proper operation, but the user doesn't need to mess with (according to Apple!).
Now, how did your destination folder wind up with an invisible file by the same name as the song file you're trying to copy? I don't know, but what it looks like to me is that standard opperating procedure for the OS is to begin its copying process by first creating an invisible file in the destination folder with the proper title, then begin actually copying data. For some reason that Apple needs to fix, sometimes when the OS goes to start actually copying data, it sees the invisible file it just created and says "Oops! there's already a file there by this title! I can't put another one there!" Normally, it would ask you, the user, if you wanted to replace the existing file, but the file is invisible and therefore cannot be replaced, so it just tells you that.
What to do?
I LOVE the widget available here: http://web.me.com/hansen.m/Site/Widgets.html One trip to the dashboard, click on "Show", and viola! you can see that pesky invisible file in your destination folder. Now you can delete it. Sometimes this works and a second attempt to copy the file works. More often I find that I have to copy to a different folder on the destination disk. After that I can move it to the preferred folder (copying from the local hard disk to some other location - I run into this when copying to my idisk - seems to be part of the problem.)
In case that was about as clear as a toad's complexion, let me illustrate. I move files for sharing to my idisk every week. I click on a song and drag from iTunes, where I've already placed my recording, to a Finder window where idisk/Music/ReChording is already open, wait for the green circle with the white plus sign, and drop it. I get the message about not being able to replace. I access my dashboard and click "Show". Then I delete the now visible (grayed, but visible) offending file from my idisk. Then I click (in the Finder) on the idisk/Music folder, making it the destination. Then click on iTunes and drag the song to the idisk/Music folder. It copies. When it's done, I drag the file from idisk/Music to idisk/Music/ReChording. This copy has never given me a problem, and is nearly instantaneous, since no data needs to be copied.
Download that widget. It's a lot less painful than other workarounds. But Apple needs to fix this.
I hope that helps.

Why can you no longer see audio clip names in the timeline in CC?

This is very frustrating, so I'm hoping there's a solution. I need to be able to read audio file names within the timeline...especially music clips. Why would they remove this feature? Is there a way to get it back? And while I'm at it, why do you now have to expand the timeline tracks to be able to read the the track names? (I label all of my track names, but obviously don't want them all expanded just to be able to read what I labeled each track...that would be one fluster cluck of a timeline since I have a minimum of 10 audio tracks at all times!)
Thanks for any help on this issue! I just switched to CC v.8 yesterday and am trying to work out all the kinks.

Hit the wrench in the timeline and check Show Audio Names.

How do we check the check box items based on the databse fields.

Hi All,
I have a requirement like as mentioned below#
1. I have a combox box whcih i will be populated from database.
2. I have created two check box as "Stategric " and "Non Stategric".
3. Now when i select the combox box condition i need to select the check box items.
4. But the problem is i wil be knowing weather it is a stategric or Non stategirc based on the database column.
5. How do i need to map the database point of view and correlacte with javascript pont of view.
6. Do we need to write any Application process to achieve this task and who we can do that.
Thanks,
Anoo..

Hi VC,
As per my understanding the code should be placed between --.
Based on this i have placed the code
function setCheckbox(pThis, pItem){
alert('inside');
    var l_code = '';
    // Get checkbox name
    rName = document.getElementsById('P1_ENG_BAU').firstChild.name;
alert("The value is"+rName);
    // Fire AJAX
    var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=CHECKBOX_LIST',0);
    get.add('F120_COMPANY',pThis.value);
    gReturn = get.get('XML');
    if (gReturn) {
      var values = gReturn.getElementsByTagName('value');
      var messages = gReturn.getElementsByTagName('message');
      // Build the checkbox
      for (i=0; i<values.length; i++) {
        var rValue = values.firstChild.nodeValue;
var rMessage = messages[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
l_code+='<input id='+P1_ENG_BAU+'_'+i+' type=checkbox value='+rValue+' name='+rName+'>';
l_code+='<label for='+P1_ENG_BAU+'_'+i+'>'+rMessage+'</label>
document.getElementsById('P1_ENG_BAU').innerHTML = l_code;
Correct me if iam understanding is wrong.
Thanks,
Anoo..

What i get is in the end that in the ComboBox in this case i call it cmbxNetwork i see in it many items all start with Win32_ For example when i click on ComboBox i see the first item is: "Win32_NetworkAdapter"
Instead Win32_NetworkAdapter i want to see in the ComboBox only: NetworkAdapter But when i select the item it should be selected as Win32_NetworkAdapter but the user should see and select only NetworkAdapter.
I want to remove as test from the ComboBox items the Win32_ But only that the user will see it without Win32_
Also in the constructor when i'm doing now: cmbxNetwork.SelectedItem = "Win32_NetworkAdapter"; so instead if i'm doing: cmbxNetwork.SelectedItem = "NetworkAdapter"; it will be enough. THe program will use the "Win32_NetworkAdapter";
but again what i see and user in the ComboBox as item is only the NetworkAdapter

Hi Chocolade1972,
>> I want to remove as test from the ComboBox items the Win32_ But only that the user will see it without Win32_ Also in the constructor when i'm doing now: cmbxNetwork.SelectedItem = "Win32_NetworkAdapter"; so instead if i'm doing:

Do you mean that you want the ComboBox show the value of “NetworkAdapter” in the text, but when you refer the value of the cmbxNetwork.SelectedItem, it will be “Win32_NetworkAdapter”? If so, I am afraid that you need create your own ComboboxItem and override
the ToString() method to return the text you want.
You could modify the code below for your own achievement.
public partial class Form0417 : Form
public Form0417()
InitializeComponent();
public class ComboboxItem
public string Text { get; set; }
public object Value { get; set; }
public override string ToString()
return Text;
private void Form0417_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
ComboboxItem item1 = new ComboboxItem();
item1.Text = "Processor";
item1.Value = "Win32_Processor";
ComboboxItem item2 = new ComboboxItem();
item2.Text = "DiskDrive";
item2.Value = "Win32_DiskDrive";
cmbxOption.Items.Add(item1);
cmbxOption.Items.Add(item2);
//MessageBox.Show((cmbxOption.SelectedItem as ComboboxItem).Value.ToString());
private void cmbxOption_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
MessageBox.Show((cmbxOption.SelectedItem as ComboboxItem).Value.ToString());

Multiple selection should enable the check box item next to the field

Hi,
I want multiple selection for " Environment" field in the Form. Once muliple values are selected, user needs to see a checkbox next to all the values selected in Environment field.
Checkbox field should be called as ' Implemented'.
For ex. In Environment Field, I selected three values, I should see checkbox against each selected environments:
col 1:I Environment col:2 Implemented
Env1 X
Env2 X
Env2 X
X-> refers to checkbox.
Please suggest something if anyone have tried this one.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ramya

hello Ramya,
In Environment Field, I selected three values, I should see checkbox against each selected environmentsyou can write Post-Change trigger or When-Validate-Item trigger on Column 1 say: txt_environment and in the trigger, write down the following code
          set_item_property('BLOCK.TXT_CHECKBOX',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
          set_item_property('BLOCK.TXT_CHECKBOX',ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
          set_item_property('BLOCK.TXT_CHECKBOX',NAVIGABLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

HT4623 What causes a blue highlight box to jump around the screen with an audible click?

How to see an imported FLV file on the timeline

I have a feeling this is a really basic question, but I am pretty new to Flash. I've imported an FLV file. This file is a slideshow of photographs with a Ken Burns effect already applied. I was hoping that I would be able to see the video frames on a timeline. What I then want to be able to do is jump to different frames (approximately where the photo changes) as a result of clicking buttons.
I thought this would be a good project to do in Flash as a way to learning.
Lots of help needed
Thanks,

If you imported it, embedded it as an MC, you should be able to scrub the timeline and see the video change - assuming your timline is the length of the video. Double check the frame rate of your video and the frame rate on your timeline for an accurate match.
Try importing to a fresh flash file too, to make sure nothing in your other flash file is hindering your progress.

Is there a way to visually see what clips are used in the timeline?

In FCP, is there a way to see in the browser all the clips that are being used in the timeline?
What I am looking for is a column that has a check mark in it if the clip is being used in the timeline.
In a big project, it would be good to visually see what clips have yet to be used.
Just wondering.
Ian

This probably isn't exactly what you're looking for, but you can turn on show duplicate frames in your timeline.
There is an option in the sequence>timeline settings that when turned on will put a red line under any footage that is duplicated in your sequence.
However there must be a reel number assigned to the clip and the timecode must be unique in order for it to work properly.
Another work around might be to color code each clip as you use it in your browser.

Assigning a Name to a timeline object (CP4)

Is there any way to name the layers/objects in the Captivate 4 timeline? I am aware that each item on the timeline is a separate object. For example, I am creating a slide of a software interface with several rollover captions and slidelets. When looking on the timeline, they are all called Rollover Area or Rollover Slidelet. Because they all share the same name on the timeline, I am not sure which Rollover is in front of another rollover. I would like to provide each rollover with a distinctive name to make it easier to identify each item.

Hello,
I'm very sorry, but do not know a way. One of the less talked new features in CP5, which I appreciate very much, is that now the labeled objects will be appear with their label on the Timeline (and also in the Advanced Interaction view). As you can see on this screenshot, this is probably what you want and what is not possible in CP4 yet. Hope you do not mind this answer, that is not really an answer (and I'm not working for Adobe, be sure).

Flatten to XML does not save Item Names of ListBox to XML file.

On my Front Panel, I have a ListBox Indicator that has Strings from which the User can select. Also the User can edit items in the ListBox to add new elements. After the user selects one and pushes my Save button, I use the Flatten to XML function to save the selection in an XML file. But Flatten to XML only saves the Value (index of the selected item(s)) to the XML file and not the ListBox Item Names. That is enough information to reconstruct which of the String data that the user selected.
In a ListBox where a User is selecting among a list of Strings, shouldn't the Flatten to XML function also store the String(s) that were selected?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dennis Knutson wrote:
The control is a U32 which is no different than placing a regular numeric control on the front panel. The flatten to xml is only passed a numeric value in both cases. It can't record something that you do not pass to it. The state of the control is the numeric value and the state can be reconstructed with that numeric. If you want to reconstuct the strings (which are not states), use the property node.
I disagree. A ListBox that contains Stings to select from is full of String information. Both I and the User entered those Strings into the ListBox. It is the only data in the Listbox that we see. It is the most important information in the ListBox. The Strings are present in the Item Names. The Flatten to XML does have access to the Item Names and can and should provide them. Neither I nor the User are interested in the Numeric Index of the Selected Items. That is useless information to us. Both of use are dealing with Strings. If the State of the ListBox control is to be reconstructed from the XML data provided by the Flatten to XML function, then the Strings (Item Names) in the Listbox must be provided in the XML data.

Problem translating click/highlight boxes when copy and pasting slides from another project

I'm baffled by this problem as it doesn't seem to make sense. I opened up a new project to record a simulation in and when I was done, I copy and pasted all the slides into the appropriate section in my "Master Project" if you will. After the paste, I noticed that all the clickboxes and highlight boxes I had taken the time to carefully resize were all out of wack in terms of position. Here's the kicker, I opened up a blank project and copy/pasted the same slides...this time the click and highlight boxes were in the correct position. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Neel

Oh, 'in terms of position'... I see...
Is the one project larger than the other? For example, the original perhaps at 800x600 and the new at 850x650?
Positioning may then be off relatively....
Pick a couple sample elements and note their x/y positions from the Properties panel in the first project (under 'Transform' in CP 5.5).
After pasting into the new, note those same x/y positions.
Is there a noticable factor?
If this is the issue, be sure the sizes are the same, do the paste, then expand the project later (and maybe everything will retain its anchors?)
I've not seen this occur in newer versions of CP.
You could try checking the 'Constrain Proportions' option in the properties of the original, just in case that helps 'constrain the position' too...total guess...

Highlight boxes on "mistakes" in training simulation

Hello,
I use CP5 for creating training simulation.
I am looking for a solution that a highlight box only appears when the user does a mistake (sorry, using the german CP version, don't know how the term is called in CP).
So when the user does not click onto the right field, a mistake-message box appears. Additionally I want that a highlight box appears on this event.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Julian

Hey Lilybiri,
At the clickbox properties, I find the action for on success but not on failure. See the screenshot attached, enjoy the german language
Do I have to activate this action on failure somewhere?
I left the the recording preferences on default, there are no highlight boxes in the training simulation automatically.
Cheers,
Julian

Process Only Works with Previous Item Name

I have a textarea item on my page, and a process that submits the text in that item to a column in a table. I decided to rename the item, and so then I changed the name of the item in the PL/SQL process as well; however, for some reason the process only works when I put the original item name in the PL/SQL of the process. Is this some kind of glitch, or am I really doing something wrong? The PL/SQL process is a very simple one and the problem may be able to be fixed by simply deleting it and recreating it again, but it would be nice to know how to prevent this in the future.

Scott,
That is correct, I did do it all within a single session. I've made changes like this before without the same error, but they mostly involved using the item name with reports, not processes - which was the case here. Anyway, this is the only time I experienced this error with this much confidence that I had made all the correct changes, so I thought it may be an issue you were aware of. I'll be sure to try the logging out & back in part if I experience this in the future. Thanks.
