Creating a interactive prerendered 3d presentation.

Hello I'm creating a presentation in adobe flash pro cs5. I wanted a interface of buttons that would if you clicked on one of them play a prerendered movie clip that would after it has been played be jumping to another keyframe and stay on that keyframe. Then from that keyframe you would be able to play another video clip and jump to another keyframe. To create the illusion of 3d by using prerendered clips. I hope you get what I mean.
Anyway in order to do this I need a few commands for controlling the timeline. I think it's the commands for jumping to a certain frame then stopping at a certain frame.
Two commands I can't find in the confusing menu of action commands. Also for a file like this what would be the best type of document to use. Flash project I presume?
Sorry I'm very new to flash...

To jump to a new frame you can use gotoAndStop(...) or gotoAndPlay(...), where "..." represents a frame numnber or label, and if they happen to be adjacent frames you can use nextFrame() or prevFrame() (which act like gotoAndStop() commands).
If you happen to be trying to tell something other than the current timeline to go to a new frame, then you need to target the intended object/timeline.
This can tell the timeline that holds the object that contains this line to move to a new frame...
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay(...);
This tells an object on the same timeline to move to a new frame...
objectInstanceName.gotoAndStop(...);
If you are after something more complex than that then I have probably missed the point of your posting... I don't see where 3D fits into the discussion of moving to frames.

Creating an interactive DVD from a Keynote presentation

Does anyone know how to create an interactive DVD from a Keynote Presentation?
I tried the export to Quicktime option, and then brought that QT movie into iDVD. The problem is that the interactive pauses between slides that I get with the QT version, isn't there in iDVD. The transitions turn into chapters, and when you play the DVD, one chapter goes right into another.
I'm sure someone has dealt with this before.

I should make something clear here...
Be careful with terminiology. WIth Keynote 3 you can create a linear DVD, that works the same way a show in Keynote works if you plan to move through the show in the order you built it (complete with all the builds). What it does NOT appear to do is allow you to make a non linear DVD, which is, if you put a button/hyperlink on a slide, it won't work in the DVD. See my other thread about this for the reason why. I'm praying the next version of DVD Studio Pro will read iDVD projects, which would allow us to customize what Apple creates for us automatically.

How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

I'm seeking a little guidance -
How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of

The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

Can I create an interactive PDF without distributing it?

Hi guys,
I am very new to this and I have been asked by the development team here at work to play around and create a form. The idea behind this is that we want to be able to create an interactive PDF form that can be saved without uploading it to anywhere by one of our users (as they may not have access to the internet when they are filling out the form). At a later stage the user will need to upload the PDF into our system which will read the form's content and upload that data to the database. Our system is a Java web based back office system.
Likewise - we will also need to pre-populate data into the form if it is present in our database when the form is downloaded for use.
So I am basically looking for some way to change the security settings on the PDF. I know it is possible but I cannot see how to do it and I cannot find any help on how to do it and it's driving me completely insane!

Hi,
You can do this in LC Designer, but I strongly recommend that you have a look at our summary of restrictions depending on how you deploy your form:
It is available here: https://acrobat.com/#d=3lGJZAZuOmk8h86HCWyJKg and here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Using_LiveCycle_Forms_in_Acrobat_and_Reader-16518.html
You can send out a form, but if the users have Reader they will not be able to save data that they fill in. They will be able to submit the data, but only as xml.
If you reader enable the form to allow users with Reader to save data, then data connections is turned off.
Good luck,
Niall

How do I add a pre-existing flash, interactive quiz to presenter 9.0

currently, we are reviewing Presenter 9.0 as it appears to be the only option to move existing flash CBTS into SCORM for loading into our LMS. The content is not the issue. The "quizzes", for each lesson, are pre-created flash interactive videos(files, whatever...).
I want to incorporate the quiz into the existing Presenter 9.0 imported SWF content before I package everything in Scorm 1.2 I am hoping that I do not have to hop into yet 1,2,3 or more other applications to solve what would be a very easy problem, albeit flash being involved.
Steps....
1) Start Powerpoint.. Import SWF content (existing, interactive) using Presenter plugins..
2) add a SWF quiz that relates to Step 1 content
3) pre-set for SCORM 1.2
4) Package SCORM Content..
Exist Presenter use...
Thank you for any assistance..

My biggest concern here would be the effectiveness of the Flash Quiz content you are embedding in the presentation. Presenter has its own reporting that will take precedence over an embedded SWF file. For example, if you created a Captivate project with reporting, and then embedded it into a Presenter presentation, the only report you would see would be that the viewer(s) viewed the slide with the Captivate SWF in it. None of the Captivate reporting would be recorded.
For this reason, I suspect that Presenter won't report your quiz content as expected, but hey, you can get a 30-day free trial of Presenter 9, so it is easy to test and validate. Presenter could prove me wrong (it has happened before)!

Creating an interactive cd or dvd...

I've haven't found too much info about creating an interactive cd or dvd. I see that the new version of DVDSP touts features for doing such, but how good of a solution is it? If I were to make an inteactive DVD, say a quiz, would it play slowly on a consumer dvd player? Do these games/quizzes only work well on a computer? I've seen recommendations for Adobe products ; ie. Director. I would like to develop an interactive quiz. The idea is to have it play both on dvd players, as well as on computers. Is this feasible, or do I need two different solutions? Any suggestions of what software and solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You have less flexibility using DVDSP, but whatever you do that works will work for a TV or for a computer, because the computer would just play it as a DVD-Video. There are some cases where the computer experience won't be as good, so I would expect everyone to prefer to use it on a TV.
Director is used for web based applications and games, and for downloadable applications and games, and for CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. It also happens to be able to play DVD-Video content inside an interactive environment, with none of the limitations that DVD-Video normally has. But if you're going to be that interactive you probably should use QuickTime video or Flash video inside the Director application, and not require the user to have DVD-Video play back abiliy at all.
If you made such a highly interactive disc you probably wouldn't be able to reproduce all the features in a DVD-Video only version.
If you're curious about Director, maybe you could sign up for this Adobe presentation that is happening next Wednesday:

What software is best to use to create an interactive CD?

Hi
I'm creating an interactive cd rom. I have made several interactive CDs already using a really basic bit of software called Autoplay Menu Builder (made by a company called Linasoft) but it has several limitations.
Basically it needs to be an easy to navigate menu with thumbnails of images that users can click on to open and print however many images they like (one at a time). The images will be pdfs as I will distribute a copy of Adobe Reader on the CD (yes I do have a license to do so!)
The main problem I am having with my current software is that each menu program I create can only handle opening 10 or so pdfs and so I need to have lots of menus linking to one another in order to be able to open all of the pdf files on the cd (usually several hundred files). Each menu program is an .exe file with autorun feature. Each .exe file is named 'autorun.exe' by default and I cant change the name without encountering problems. Therefore the CD ends up containing 100s of .exe files with exactly the same name and users are having problems with their virus checker software thinking that the CD contains a trojan virus.
So I need to come up with a new way of making these CDs.
Things I need my interactive CD project to do...
* Autorun from disc without prompt from the user
* Run from disc only - I don't want the user to have to install anything or need an Internet connection to use the CD
* Not to have issues with the most commonly used anti virus software (I know this might be an impossible task)
* Have a customisable interface and buttons etc.
* Enable the user to quickly and easily open and print 100s of pdfs one at a time
* It needs to work on older home computers - and if possible to work on both mac and pc platforms
I would rather not have it open in an Internet browser window - but would go for this option if I could remove/disable the navigation bar and give it some kind of skin (so that users don't think that they have to be online to use the CD - I know that sounds daft but it's quite important to the project I am trying to create).
After reading around the forums I think that Director seems the logical way to go but thought it was worth asking for any advice on the matter before diving in at the deep end - I'm not familiar with Director or Flash... but always willing to learn something new!
Any advice or comments very much appreciated!
Thanks, Emma.

Director will definitely do what you want, but, you will have to program the functions you need yourself. If you have programming experience from another programming language other than lingo (directors programming language) it's relatively easy to get the hang of lingo, most later director versions also supports java script. In addition you're going to need a few plugins (called xtras in director) to get all the functionality you need, specifically BuddyAPI to be able to load or open the pdf's and get a list of the files on the cd, and if you don't want to use the adobe reader you will need Impressario to view and print the pdfs.
Also, there are probably quite a few director users that have done something similar already so if you need help you can go to www.director-online.com or http://www.directorforum.com/ and search the forums (or ask for help).

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

Is there a way to create an interactive form without Acrobat

Bottom line, is there a way to create an interactive form that can either be filled out and saved, or "submitted" with a mailto: button without having to buy a copy of acrobat too.
I have found numerous tutorials and examples, but everytime I try I run into the "action is not supported" error from adobe reader. Ironically, I have not problems saving a filled out form with OSX preview, but that won't work for PC users.
It seems like Adobe missed a step or is just forcing users to buy a secondary product to "re-save" a file with a form.

It’s not a failing at all. It’s just the way it is.

I have created an interaction to show 7 groups and 7 clickable objects. Once all are click the Next Button is show. How can you make that work if you want to embeded the SWF just created but show a button in a master Captivate?

In flash you can have a shell that has the navigation and some button in the shell are not activated until all clickable objects are clicked. I am not a flash programmer but it was related to using the path of shell and the sub-project.
Can anybody help me on that.
I would like to create Captivate interaction that you can just embedded in a Shell captivate project.
Do I need to set variables at both levels (Global variable.

Hello Lieve, That is the screen shot of my custom interactivity, when all labels are clicked the Continue button will be shown because there is a conditional validating if all Labels have now a value of 1. What I am trying to achieve is to create an interaction where where the continue button (an the back button would reside in another Captivate project. This way there is no reprograming required or use of share-actions. Everytime we use a similar advanced action or a shared action we have to make sure the object name in the advanced actions or conditional actions are not the same. I trying to make it a bit dump proof for somebody that does not know any thing about advanced action and just reuse the label interaction in may projects. (The only thing they would change would be the image and the content of the label.
Do you thing I going in the right direction. (As I said before I have custom javacript in Captivate 5.5) to unlock un button that was part of the LCMS ForceTen). I belive the word .this was part of the object path in the JavaScript. Can we hide and show a Captivate button.
I have embedded other Captivate animation in a Master Captivate but the objets were not talking to each other. (You can see a sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erm4_qdybiA&feature=youtube_gdata). In that sample the continue is always there and can be click anytime. The 3 steps animation has been done as another project and embedded in my main captivate. I would like to implement a solution where a my 7 labels have to be clicked in the subproject before showing and enabling the Continue button.
I hope my explanation is clear enough.

Create a new user in Presentation Services

Hello All,
I would like to know if it is possible to create a user in Presentation Services.
For now, when we create a user, we use the administration tool. We do the following manipulation:
Manage-> Security-> Action-> users
Is it possible to create a new user in Presentation Services?
Thank you in advance for your answers
Best regards

Hi,
Users are created in the Repository. When a user logs in via the presentation server, this user is validated against the one created in the repository.
Cheers.

Flash CS5.5 or CS6 creating an interactive ebook /app for IOS

I'm in middle ground here as I'm able to create a simple app for IOS using CS5.5 and was wondering if I'm able to create an interactive IBook ( which is actually an app ) to know what I mean if you go to the Apple Book Store and download the free "Beatles" Yellow Submarine you will see the interactivity.
When I write middle ground I mean I just finished downloading CS6 and looking at some tutes so if this is possible, which I know I can get the interactivity but its just putting it in book form that I was curious about.
thx
RD

I misunderstood you, because I'm not english speaker. But I will try to answer..
You develop 1 app. This app will include all that you wants. Page - it's just object. Each object can contain another objects. Like a tree and leafs. So you simply make 1 page with any animations. Page 2 with any animations and etc and combine this to one APP.
Here is the link, you can get free 8 pages. Will be good if you can spent $1.99 =)))

APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_API Error while creating a Interactive Report Region

Does anyone know how to debug this

Hello ???,
We are experiencing this too at login in an application. The error is caused by violating the constraint WWV_FLOW_DATA_IDX1 on columns FLOW_INSTANCE, ITEM_ID in table WWV_FLOW_DATA. So for some reason the value of an item in session state is set multiple times.
When looking at the Access view (statement below) I see that there are multiple logins per second for a user (I have seen 12 times as maximum).
select login_name, application, access_date, count(*)
from WWV_FLOW_USER_ACCESS_LOG_V
group by login_name, application, access_date
having count(*) > 1
order by access_date descSince this count of logins varies from 1 to 12, it looks like it is not caused by the application itself, but I also don't have a clue what the root cause is.
Is there anyone else with more information on this issue?
We are on APEX 4.0 and Oracle 11g and the applications have all been built in this environment, so no upgrades have been performed.
Regards, Wouter
