Cp5 - Slide with FLV doesn't continue to next slide.

Is this still a bug? I'm on Windows XP. I have an FLV on a slide, set to display for length of slide, and 'pause slide till end of video'. The FLV has the minimal clearskin1 playbar, and synchronize with project is unchecked, loop in unchecked.
I don't want the learner to be able to skip the video, so I have the project skin turned off. After the FLV plays I want the slide to advance to the next slide, which is a quiz slide. After publishing, if I don't pause the video, it works. But if I pause the video, it sometimes DOESN'T work...the video fades to black and the slide just sits there, and since there is no skin, there is no way to go to the next slide. If I put a 'Next' button on the slide and have it appear toward the end of the video, then I run into the problem of it appearing too soon if the person pauses the video for a long time, since the slide continues to play even if the FLV is paused.
Is this a bug in CP5 as well?
thanks

Quick question before I give up on this. Can I only add tables in this manner. I am trying a simple file right now untill I understand how to do it. I create a file that contains a button (which will be used for adding an extra drop down list) and a drop down list. I did not include a second button to remove the section.
I then select the button and in the Script window add the:
// Invoke the Instance Manager to add one instance of the detail subform.
subform1._DropDownList1.addInstance(1);
//Invoke the recalculate method to include the field values from the added row in calculations.
xfa.form.recalculate(1);
So my subform is called "subform1" while my element I want to duplicate with the button is called "DropDownList1"
At this point I get confused and not sure what I need to do.

Keynote stops when playing and won't continue to next slide?

Keynote stops when playing and won't continue to next slide?

Hello, welcome to the user forum,
It would help if you told which version of Captivate you are using. Since you are talking about 'multiple actions', I suppose it is Captivate 4, because that feature was abandoned in Captivate 5 and even for CP4 it was not very recommendable, I always replaced it by an Advanced action.
I blog a lot about advanced actions, and also posted articles in the knowledgebase of CP-Help. A complete list of those articles are found as a link in this blog post:
Articles on Advanced Actions
It is a list published on acrobat.com; updated it yesterday with latest article.
If you are totally new to Advanced Actions, I could offer an example of the code you'll need, but want to know first if you are using CP4 or CP5.

Text Entry with Tab Key not advancing to next slide

I am using Captivate 1 to create a screen that has a text
entry requiring the user to press the Tab key as the Shortcut Key.
The users are having to press the Tab key multiple times to get the
course to advance to the next slide. There does not seem to be a
rhyme or reason to which text entries this occurs in, nor does
there seem to be a pattern to the number of times or forcefulness
in which the Tab key must be pressed, though more aggressive key
presses have yielded better results. Sadly, requesting the users
bang the Tab key with as much force as they can muster is not a
viable option.
Here are things I have tried:
Decrease length of slide
Increasing active time of the text entry
Adding/removing playback control
Deleting and recreating text entries
If anyone has any idea what can be done to correct this
problem, it would be much appreciated.

Hi berrylicious877
The following has worked for me in Cap1, so try it and see:
Add the text entry box and include the submit button.
Make the submit button transparent and edit text to a full
stop at the smallest available font size (Captivate won't accept a
submit button without something typed in and a full stop is the
smallest thing available display wise)
On the submit button, set the shortcut key to "Tab".
My reasoning was that the shortcut key on the text entry box
"activates" the box, thus allowing input and the shortcut key on
the "submit" button "deactivates" the box so that the slide can
move on as required.
Please let us know if this helps.

Setting a condition for continuing to next slide

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 4. I have four rollover slidelets on a slide - each simultaneoulsy active for displaying in any order.
How do I create a condition where a 'Next slide' button would be made visible and activated on the slide only if all four rollover slidelets have been visited by the user? Is this possible in Captivate?

Hi there
I'm thinking you may be able to accomplish this by declaring one or more variables, then assign the on-click event for each of the slidelets so the event triggers an Advanced Action. The Advanced Action would consist of checking to see if the variable(s) have been set accordingly. Assuming the right condition exists (meaning all four slidelets have been clicked) an action would occur to reveal the button that allows the user to proceed.
Cheers... Rick

Transition of slides go to blank screen instead of next slide

I can't figure this out. I have the transitions set up and when the transition happens instead of going to the next slide with photos and words I get what looks like a blank slide. Same color as the background for the next slide but no content. If I continue to advance the slide, I eventually get the next slide. It's almost like there are extra blank slides in between my 2 slides. This is happening with a number of my slides. I am wondering if it's because I duplicated certain slides, then deleted the content and added new content to that slide. Does the duplicated slide show up as a blank slide? what's going on? Please help!

Thank you for your suggestion. I think I know what happened. I took existing blank slides (no themes) that I had text boxes on and I duplicated them because I wanted the exact background to the new slide but not the text. I deleted the text from the duplicated slide and built my new slide on that background. Apparently, that's where the issue began.
I created new slides by deleting text/images from old slides because I was having difficulty getting the master slide to show up. I would open my master slide viewer, select the master slide I wanted, close the master slide viewer and click on "new slide". I would never get the slide I had just selected from the master slide viewer. It would always be some other slide not the one I wanted. So, to circumvent that frustration, I just duplicated slides that I was somehow lucky enough to create with the correct background (even if they had text/images) and just delete any of the unwanted material. Frustrating.
Thanks again for your helpful suggestions. If I continue to run into this problem I will definitely do as you asked. I love Apple discussion groups. You guys are the best.

Can't go to next slide after adding advanced action to answer and other

Hi,
I'm creating a quizz and there are some problems I can't
solve.
I have a flash project with login page, where user should
fill name, company and e-mail. To this e-mail I have to send the
results of the quizz. After you correctly fill the gaps and click
OK, my flash aplication starts within the Adobe Captive 4 project
(swf file). And now problems:
1. In my captivate project: I have a question, 3 answers, 3
possible attemps and one correct answer. If user answer wrong,
there is a grey hightlight box, which should apears over my chosen
wrong answer and stay there to mark already chosen answer and there
is also a text animation "Sorry, your answer is not correct." under
the quizz (on the same slide), which appears instead of error
message. No problem, it works, I made a script for it, which is
joined to every wrong answer (in Edit Question > (Answers)
Advanced > Execute Advanced Action). But the problem is with
correct answer (it shows text animation "Congratulations!" and
green hightlight box). If I specify the event on correct answer and
then submit the right answer, it shows the hightlight box, the text
animation, but it doesn't continue to next slide! It stucks despite
of the
settings Edit Question > Options > (If correct answer)
Action: Go to next slide). If I add new statement to my
script, which is "Go to next slide" and then click on the right
answer, it immediately jump to next page and doesn't show the
hightlight box and the text animation. How can I wait until the
duration of the animation ends and after that go to next slide?
Script for the advanced action on my correct answer is:
-> show rightHighlightBox
-> show congratulationsText
2. I need another pass fail option, for example - I have 30
questions - 3 answers, one correct, 3 attemps. User submits wrong
answer, but then he choose the right one, but he choose the wrong
one at first ---> 0 points. It's e-learning and I need to allow
users to correct them.
3. How can I export the value of correctAnswers to my flash?
Is it possible?
Thank you very much for reply!

Hi,
You need to add a "Continue" statement at the end of your
script otherwise you will have to click on Skip to go to next
slide.
And all the Quzzing information can be accessed from Flash
using the Quizn variables.
thanks

CP8 Interactions and slides with audio and closed captions - not working well - please help

Okay, I am using cp8 on a windows 8 64 bit machine. I have placed an interaction on a slide. I also have audio on that slide and closed captions.
When I get to the slide, the audio does not play because the mere fact that the interaction is on there makes the slide pause upon enter. I could have the student click play on the playbar to go, but that is not required on slides without interactions, so I don't like that solution. I also could do an On Enter slide Play Audio and pick the wav file, but then the closed captions don't show up.
So, the question is, how do I have the slide automatically play the audio at the slide level without the student having to click the play button to go?? Slides with interactions should behave just like other slides with objects/widgets on them. This auto pausing thing is driving me nuts!
Thanks,
Lori

Lori, this is puzzling! Are you talking about one of the learning interactions included with Captivate? If yes, which one? My puzzlement is due to the fact that what you described is what happened in CP6: interaction paused slide at first frame (I had a workaround for audio). But since CP7 interactions do not pause any slide, you'll have to provide the pause yourself. There are some exceptions (games).

Slide master guides do not appear in the slides

Hi!
I have been working on a straightforward prez, nothing special to it, no animations or transitions. However, I need the blocks to be aligned from slide to slide. So I created some guides in the only slide master (no chance of getting mixed up on the template), and then moved back to the slides. But then two things happen:
- at times, the Format>Reapply Master to Slide is greyed out (probably because I did not change anything in the master
- but the annoying thing is that I cannot get the guides to appear in the slides (and of course I made sure that the guides are visible in the view menu).
Of course, I did this zillions times, always with the same result.
Any idea? Thanks in advance

Guides in Keynote only apply to an individual slide, they cant be set in a theme or master slide.
To set up multiple slides with the same guides: create a blank slide and position guides and other oblects as required, duplicate this slide (command D) whenever you need this layout again. Once your presentation is complete, delete or Skip the slide ( slide > skip slide).

Click box problem..loop to next slide without the command

Guys, I have a problem with my click boxes.
I'm using captivate 5.5.
details:
I have 4 click boxes
3 for hide and show objects
1 for go to next slide.
I have 2 slides only.
first slide has the changing view.
sample:
clickbox1 opens object 1 2 and 3 and triggers audio inside object 1 (working)
clickbox2 hides objects 1 2 and 3..shows 4 5 and 6 objects with audio also.
clickbox 3 goes the same process.
Problem: when I click clickbox2..it performs the action but maybe at around 1 second then proceed to the next slide. in which in the action, there was no command that say go to next slide or any.
the button for the next slide is on the 4 clickbox.
I'm using advance actions by the way.
I'm confused, this is my second time to do this..the first was working, what could be the problem?
Thanks

link sent thru PM.
I'm thinking if this is an inconsistency of CP.

How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7

How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7? I mean to stop the play slide bar moving down the bottom?

Thank you, I already have click boxes and buttons on every slide - the slider at the bottom still automatically moves, it doesn't go to next slide until button or box is clicked. I want to stop it moving if possible?
Update: looks like it does the same on the old versions - I'm assuming its the time set to play each slide. I will just even these up so the don't look so inconsistent.

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move it. The apps will freeze and I have to "force quit" to get them to close. Sometimes putting the computer to sleep and waking it up helps. Is there a way to remedy this?

When making Question Slides, the "Your Score" screen has a CONTINUE button on it but it doesn't continue

I can't remove it. I can't change it so it moves the user
forward to the next slide. I can't insert a new button. I might
lose my mind. Any suggestions?

Hi jwcrews and I too welcome to our community
Hopefully Andrew won't mind my offering up something here.
My last Captivate class had a student that reported her
project was behaving in a similar manner. Additionally, I've seen
other posts here that suggest the same thing. Multiple clicks to
continue, etc.
Does your results slide contain audio? If so, what we found
as a potential issue with my student was that the Continue button
waited for the audio to complete before moving on.
If your results slide has no audio, one way to try and
overcome the long wait is by positioning the mouse pointer over the
pause point. Wait until the pointer changes to the left/right arrow
(indicating you may click and drag) and adjust the pause to perhaps
.2 seconds. Then drag the duration of the results slide to perhaps
.4 seconds.
If your results slide does contain audio, one possible
workaround would be to create a totally new blank Captivate
project. Size it to the minimum size. I believe that would be 100 x
100 pixels. Add the audio to that and publish as a .SWF. Then drop
the .SWF into your results slide (Insert > Animation...). I'm
thinking this would somewhat abstract the audio from the timeline
of the Results and possibly overcome the timing issue.
Please keep us posted on what you find! Also, I again offer
apologies to Andrew for my unsolicited intrusion in the thread.
Sincerely... Rick

Slide advancer (Kensington) doesn't work with powerpoint

slide advancer (Kensington) doesn't work with powerpoint

Hi, Todd.
I don't use an AirClick, but a quick check over at Griffin Technologies indicates one must be using PowerPoint 2004 to control presentations with the AirClick and AirClick USB products.
If you're using PowerPoint 2004, then I suggest you take up the matter with Griffin Technology's Support. They also appear to have published some updated software for AirClick.
Another place you may want to search or post is the the PowerPoint group you can find on the Microsoft Mac Support - Newsgroups page. These are Google Groups with active participation from MS PowerPoint users, including a variety of expert users.
I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but I've found numerous answers there for folks with questions related to MS products. Accordingly, it has often proved to be the first, best place to look for answers to questions such as you are asking.
Good luck!

Remediate to content slide; return to question; then continue on - using Captivate 8

Using Captivate 8, I’m trying to remediate from a Knowledge Check question slide back to a content slide, then back to the KC question to try again, and then continue on from there. On my first instance, this works fine. However, the problems began on the second instance and continue on each instance thereafter. The settings on the KC question slides are all the same with the exception of which slide each jumps to for remediation. I don't understand why it works the first time, but doesn’t work after that. On the second instance the question jumps back to the content slide, but then skips any subsequent slides.   Anyone had a similar experience? Know of a workaround or what I might be doing wrong?
FYI, I'm using he E-Learning Uncovered Adobe Captivate 8 book by Elkins, Pinder, and Slade as a reference, and it clearly describes how to do this on page 183, "Remediation back to Content Slides - If students get a question wrong, you can branch back to one or several slides where the content was taught and then return them back to the quiz to retry the question. To add remediation branching: 1) in the last attempt field on the question, set a Jump to Slide action to the first slide with the content. 2) On the last slide with the content, add a return to Quiz action on the slide's next button. On the content slide, the Next button with the Return to Quiz action executes a Continue action under normal circumstances, but returns students to the quiz if that's where they came from."
Please see content map below:
Content

Slide 1 – Content
Slide 2 – Content
Slide 3 – Content
Slide 4 – Content
Slide 5 – Content
Slide 6 – Content
Slide 7 – Content
Slide 8 – Content
Slide 9 – Knowledge Check Question -Remediates back to slide 5 if user misses two attempts to answer; slide 5 returns user to Slide 9 for one last try at question, then advances to Slide 10 (works perfectly)
Slide 11 – Content (here’s the first problem; on click, slide 11 jumps to the Knowledge Check Question on Slide 13, skipping slide 12)
Slide 12 – Content
Slide 13 – Knowledge Check Question that remediates back to slide 11 if user misses on 2 attempts to answer; slide 11 should return user here for one last try at question, then advance to Slide 14
Slide14 – Content
Slide 15 – Content (here’s the second problem; on click, slide 15 jumps to the Knowledge Check Question on Slide 19, skipping slides 16, 17, and 18)
Slide 16 – Content
Slide 17 – Content
Slide 18 – Content

I've tried contacting Adobe, too, but with no clear resolution yet.  One suggestion they gave me was to put the slide you are remediating back to right before the question slide. However, if you can only remediate back to the slide immediately before the question slide, that limits this functionality severely. My solution has been to remediate to a duplicate, but separate content slide using buttons rather than quiz logic. Cumbersome, but it works.

Remediate to content slide; return to question; then continue on - using Captivate 8
created by camelothome in Quizzing/LMS - View the full discussionI have the same problem with my project. If the player detects that a quiz has begun, it sees it as in quiz scope. Thus, when it encounters the next slide after the quiz slides that has "Return to Quiz" as the Exit Action, it instead goes to the next set of quiz questions and skips a bunch of content slides. I don't know where I read it, but I thought that if the slide was being visited for the first time, and did not come from a quiz, the "Return to Quiz" would have no effect and it would continue to the next content slide. Perhaps I am wrong, but I thought that was the correct behavior. I've attempted to get help from Adobe, but the operator was not very helpful. He wanted me to upload my file using wetransfer.com but gave me an invalid e-mail address. Since that was the second attempt to get help, I gave up on Adobe Support. Although I get the suggest above, it's a pain, especially since I don't have buttons on the content slides. I have the player just playing with the playbar available for pauses. So, now I have to create some sort of workaround using variables, but I don't think this is how it's supposed to work. In fact, I'm not sure what I did yesterday that caused it to work correctly for a while, but I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything related to this. Of course, then it stopped working. I find Adobe Captivate to be pretty buggy and it's put me way behind in delivering a product to my client. I'm very frustrated.

How to remove continue button from slide "Quiz Result"?

After clicking on the button gets the first slide. I want to remove the button. Help. I am a newbie. The settings are not found. Thank you

It's standards Captivate functionality that you cannot add Interactive Objects such as click boxes or buttons to the Quiz or Quiz Results slides.
If you're having issues with the Continue button NOT working on the Quiz Results slides, check your Quiz Settings as shown in my earlier post on this thread. It may be that you have the settings that make it mandatory for the user to pass the quiz before they'll be allowed to continue.
Check also in Quiz Settings in case the default Action for Pass or Failure is set to Continue. It might be set to No Action or something else that the Continue button cannot do for some reason.
If none of the above seems to be the case, remove the Quiz Results slide (by turning off Show Results in Quiz Settings) and then turn it on again the same way. If your project was upgraded from an earlier version of Captivate 3 or 4 it may be that the Quiz Results slide is currently defective. It's happened to me when upgrading older projects to Cp5 format. So re-generate the Quiz Results slide again and see if the Continue button now works better.
By the way, there's a button widget that ships with Captivate 5 which, because it's only a Static Widget and not an Interactive Widget, you CAN add it to the Quiz Results slide.
