Disabling plabar on specific slides in captivate 5.5

I have my quiz slides in adobe capitivate 5.5 been generated randomly from pools I created. How can I disable the playbar on all quiz slides in an elearning course?
many thanks

I would insert a very short slide, just before the first random slide and create this advanced action, to be triggered on entering that slide:
Assign cpCmndShowPlaybar with 0
Go to Next slide

    Hi benhenny
    It is not possible at this point to accomplish this. However,
    I suppose if enough folks ask about it, it may happen at some point
    in a future version.

  • How to create a flash menu that links to specific slides with in a Captivate swf

    Hi,
    I was wondering if someone could step by step explain how to
    create a menu in flash that links to specific slides with in a
    captivate swf. I understand that there is a rdcmndGotoSlide
    command. I can't seem to get it to work.

    Hi!
    I would like to create a DVD menu that offers two languages. So the first page gives two options: Language 1 and Language 2. Then depending on which language you choose, you go to a menu that proposes different videos and a photo slideshow.
    Regardless on which language button you click on initially, you get the same content but in different languages.
    I've been looking at Premiere's templates, which I can certainly customize, but I really don't see how to create the double menu. Does anybody have an idea?
    Put the video with the first language on the timeline followed by the video with the second language.  Use chapter markers so you can have each video as a chapter in the menu.
    I use Premiere Pro, so I can't give more specific directions. Perhaps somebody like ATR will chime in.
    Also, I have another question: can I put videos from different projects in the same DVD with Premiere or must all of the videos that go into the DVD be in the same project?
    Thank you very much!!!

    They must be in the same project.

  • De-activate Forward playbar button on specific slides

    Can I create an action script that will allow me to de-activate/hide the Forward button in the Captivate playbar on specific slides on slide entry?
    If so, how can this be accomplished?
    THANKS!!
    -Kate (cgoebel)

    Thank you Manish, but I was hoping for a bit more detail...
    I'd like to only hide/disable the Forward button, as the user should be able to go back to the previous slide at any time.
    I was hoping someone might suggest a good place to put the AS code that would trigger on slide entry?
    Thank you!
    Lilybiri,
    I'm reading through the excellent pieces you wrote on variables trying to learn as much as I can. Not had to use them prior to now. Thank you for posting the information! Any insight you could provide on this one would be most welcome!
    Still working on it...

  • Linking to a specific slide in an different swf

    I have a rather large course...each of the eight modules in this course is a separate swf. Is there any way that I can link back to a specific slide within a swf. As of right now I use Open URL or File to link back to the desired swf, but this only takes me to the first slide of that swf. Is there a way to go to a latter slide...like in the middle?

    Hi there
    Unfortunately there is no way to accomplish this with Captivate as it stands. You may wish to request it via the Wish Form. I've seen it asked about on several occasions.
    There may be a way by using JavaScript if you are using Captivate 4. You might be able to set a variable and persist it, then open the desired SWF and use the variable to navigate to the appropriate slide. I've never done this so cannot tell you what it would take, only that perhaps it's possible.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can Slides from Captivate 4 be pasted into Captivate 3?

    I had never used Captivate but I downloaded the Captivate 4 demo and was able to create a training (this software is sweet).  Anyhow, my company has Captivate 3 and I do not have this on my machine so instead of re-creating this training in Captivate 3, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if they are able to successfully copy slides from Captivate 4 to Captivate 3.  ( I have already read that Captivate is not backward compatible and noticed there is no option in Captivate 4 to save this as a Captivate 3 file).  Thanks for you help.

    Hi there
    You should be able to have version 4 as well as 3 on the same PC. Then copy slides from 4 and paste into 3.
    Of course, you cannot expect any features specific to 4 to work in 3.

  • Is there any way to PAUSE/RESUME the actual recording while recording a Video Demo slide in Captivate 8?

    If I have to take an "off-screen" action while recording a video demo slide in Captivate I am forced to END and start a separate video demo to continue.
    This fragments my demo and seems an unnecessary set of steps.
    Is there a way to pause the recording for long enough, say to clear my throat, and then resume?
    Thanks.

  • Disable DSN for specific messages

    Hi,
    i have a problem, where i wish to disable DSN for specific internal users.
    Scenario :
    Interal User a sends a mail to special address c,
    if mail host of special address c is not available or anything else i wish that internal user a is never informed that c didnt recieve his mail.
    Can this be done ?
    i thought about doing this with sieve.. but i dont know if DSNs generated by the IMS Master itself are also checked by sieve mechanism....

    Please do notice that your bits do not support many of the features you want. And that later bits do. If you offer that to your company, perhaps you could update more often, or at least this time. We're not talking about a new package, here, but just an update to the one you have, that's not doing the job properly.
    Also, if you had asked for what you needed at the beginning, I could have helped you better.
    What you want is the sieve command, save-copy, or, perhaps monitor. Please see whitepaper, quoted below:
    Saving Messages for Document Retention
    If the reason you want to capture a copy of the message is for document retention, then you will want to take advantage of the new "capture" sieve action. You have to have iMS v5.2 or better to use this facility. The capture action can only be specified in a system or channel sieve; it is not available in user sieves. The general syntax is
    capture "monitoraddress"
    The monitor action is the same as the capture action. Users are encouraged to use the 'capture' instead of monitor as it best reflects the function being performed.
    This action sends a DSN containing the original message in its entirety to the specified capture address. Since this is a DSN it is effectively a completely separate message so there's little chance of it causing side effects that will alert anyone to the monitoring. In particular, no addresses from the original message appear in the DSN header so there's very little chance of the capture copy getting forwarded to the wrong person by mistake. And even though the original message is encapsulated, it is a MIME encapsulation which means the content is easily accessible in any MIME-compliant user agent.
    The capture action is nonstandard and undocumented. It was originally intended to be part of the habanero release, but the backporting of direct LDAP support to 5.2 means it is available in 5.2 as well. We certainly intend to support it in the future.
    Saving Messages for Replay
    There is an undocumented functionality in iMS for making a copy of messages for archival purposes. It's intended for saving sent messages in the event that they need to be replayed. We did this for folks who send mail via bad links to places where the mail may be received OK by an intermediate host but then subsequently lost on its way to the final destination.
    This is done with the MESSAGE-SAVE-COPY mapping table. Entries in that table have the form
    MESSAGE-SAVE-COPY
    out-channel|from-address|D|msg-filename result
    where
    out-channel -- name of the channel the message is flowing out
    from-address -- originator's address (envelope From: address)
    D -- the letter "D" (stands for "dequeue" )
    msg-filename -- name of the message file being dequeued.
    result -- where to rename the file
    Outbound Traffic
    To save only messages out to the Internet, do
    MESSAGE-SAVE-COPY
    tcp_local|*|D|/instance-root/queue/tcp_local/*/* (tab-or-space)$Y/msg_save/$1/$2
    Be aware that the archive isn't made until the message is actually dequeued from iMS (i.e., sent successfully or bounced). A rename operation is done (as opposed to a copy operation). As such, the message file has to remain on the same disk that the IMTA_QUEUE lives on.
    Inbound Traffic
    To capture inbound mail will want to have good control of what machines/pathways a message will take on its way into your systems. If your setup is such that mail always enters the site via an INBOUND relay and leaves the site via know outbound gateways, then inbound message flow is from INBOUND-MTA --> MsgStore machine.
    Since you can have multiple MsgStore machines behind any one INBOUND-MTA, you will want to make configuration on the INBOUND-MTA machine such that it will use a dedicated queue to talk to the MsgStore machines. For instance, on the INBOUND-MTA machine, you could setup a rewrite rule in your imta.cnf file for MsgStore-A, MsgStore-B, ... MsgStore-Z like:
    Node-A.store.domain.com.au $U%$D@tcp_to_store-daemon
    Node-Z.store.domain.com.au $U%$D@tcp_to_store-daemon
    and a corresponding 'tcp_to_store' channel which looks like:
    ! tcp_to_store
    tcp_to_store smtp mx single_sys subdirs 20 noreverse maxjobs 7 \
    pool SMTP_POOL maytlsserver allowswitchchannel \
    saslswitchchannel tcp_auth
    tcp_to_store-daemon
    This has the effect of routing all mail to any of your MsgStore machines through tcp_to_store channel. Transactions to other machines in your setup will take the tcp_intranet channel.
    With this in place you can then throw in a MSG-SAVE-COPY mapping table which reads:
    MESSAGE-SAVE-COPY
    *|*|D|/instance-root/imta/queue/tcp_to_store/*/* $Y/msg_save/tcp_to_store/$2/$3
    the net effect will be a number of queue files in the /msg_save/tcp_to_store directory which are ready for replay. Note the $2 in the sample represents the subdir that the message was already in. As such if you have 'subdirs 20' on your tcp_to_store channel, you will want to precreate the /msg_save/tcp_to_save/000 thru 019 subdirectories with the appropriate ownership and permissions.
    To initiate the replay, you want to simply move the /msg_save/tcp_to_store/### directories to the /instance-root/imta/queue/reprocess and issue the command 'imsimta cache -synch'. The MTA will start pushing out those messages to the store(s).
    If you want to have multiple replays happening you can kick off parallel runs of the reprocess channel by doing 'imsimta run reprocess &' a number of times.
    And, If you want to segregate the storage for each MsgStore machine, you can make new channel in addition to the one suggested 'tcp_to_store' channel. You would then have groups of rewrite rules directing traffic over those channels or you could have one rewrite rule per channel block that you setup. That way you can have distinct entries in your MSG-SAVE-COPY mapping table.
    Finally, since there is a rename operation taking place when you use the MSG-SAVE-COPY mapping table, you will want to make sure that at the first pass that /msg_save is on the same device that your queues live on.
    Short Term Arvchival
    You could setup a process in cron to move those files to a new device on a periodic basis. Better yet, schedule this via the job_controller. For instance, these lines at the top of your job_controller.cnf file:
    [PERIODIC_JOB=archive_mover]
    command=/usr/iplanet/sitescripts/arc_mover.sh
    time=/00:10
    will run the arc_mover.sh script for you every 10 minutes. Your arc_mover.sh could look something like:
    #!/bin/ksh
    # ***Script is untested - should generate some ideas though****
    DUMMY=`test -d /var/tmp/timestamp.dir || mkdir -p /var/tmp/timestamp.dir`
    cd /msg_save
    # First pass
    for dir in `find ./ -type d`
    do
    DUMMY=`test -d /real/storage/area/$dir || mkdir -p /real/storage/area/$dir`
    cd $dir
    for msgfile in `find ./ -type f -newer /var/tmp/timestamp.dir -name "*.00"`
    do
    mv $msgfile /real/storage/area/$dir/
    done
    cd /msg_save
    done
    touch /var/tmp/timestamp.dir
    # Second pass cause we do not know how long we took.
    for dir in `find ./ -type d`
    do
    DUMMY=`test -d /real/storage/area/$dir || mkdir -p /real/storage/area/$dir`
    cd $dir
    for msgfile in `find ./ -type f -newer /var/tmp/timestamp.dir -name "00"`
    do
    mv $msgfile /real/storage/area/$dir/
    done
    cd /msg_save
    done
    exit

  • Disable Statistics for specific Tables

    Is it possible to disable statistics for specific tables???

    If you want to stop gathering statistics for certain tables, you would simply not call DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS on those particular tables (I'm assuming that is how you are gathering statistics at the moment). The old statistics will remain around for the CBO, but they won't be updated. Is that really what you want?
    If you are currently using GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS to gather statistics, you would have to convert to calling GATHER_TABLE_STATS on each table. You'll probably want to have a table set up that lists what tables to exclude and use that in the procedure that calls GATHER_TABLE_STATS.

  • Linking to specific slides in slideshow widget.

  • Flickering between slides in Captivate 4

    Hi,
    I'm having some trouble figuring out why my project flickers in between slides in Captivate 4.
    Some info on the project:
    Each slide's transition on the properties menu is marked as "No transition". Most of the objects on the slide, especially those that appear at the very beginning, are set at "no transition"; others are set as "fade in only" and have at least .5 seconds to fade in.
    At first, I had a floating image on each slide as a background image before I realized that I could set a background image. While I was playing around with this, I changed the background color to green just to test it out. It seems that the flicker between slides is whatever color that background color is set to. Black is the least noticeable, it seems...
    Then, I set the background image for each slide, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Then, I merged objects, such as the title (same for each slide) and some other non-changing pieces (logo/branding) into the background, and this didn't make much of a difference either.
    When I was playing around with the background images, etc., the flickering seemed to stop for a few slide-to-slide transitions, but these "successful" or seamless transitions don't seem to necessarily occur at the same places each time I pre/view them.
    Also, I have Adobe Flash Player 9 software on my computer (probably from the Captivate 4 software or from the Adobe CS3 software). I'm aware that there's a new release (10.1), but I've only been able to download plugins for browsers (chrome and firefox, so far), but not the actual software .exe file. Not sure whether its really a FP issue, though, because I've tried opening the project's .swf file in both browsers and the FP 9 and the flickering still occurs in all.
    I've seen some evidence of this flickering in other projects before. It may have been a few individual objects, such as a text box here or an image there, and I was somehow always able to fix it, though I never really knew what I did to fix it! The flicker usually just ended up going away! The previous problems were never as grand as they are now (being whole-slide flickers on EACH transition).
    Can anyone help me???
    It'd be MUCH APPRECIATED!!
    Thanks,
    Kate

    Macnimation,
    Flash video can be a bit glitchy in Captivate--especially if the video includes the audio.
    In answer to your autodetect concern, is your FLV set to "Pause slide till end of video"?
    Then, just thinking out loud, how about a workaround for the audio overlap?  Create blank slide (whatever color you want) before the second video--set for 0.1 second or so and "Go to Next Slide".  Then navigate to that slide before going to the second video.  That might cut the sound off.  This might not be the best solution, but it might be the most expedient one. --Leslie

  • When I copy and paste a powerpoint slide into Captivate the slide is blurry how do I fix that

    When I copy and paste a powerpoint slide into Captivate the slide is blurry how do I fix that

    Have you tried importing it with standard workflow instead of coyping and pasting.
    Is the resolution of your powerpoint presentation and Captivate Project same, make sure it is same, else, it would rescale it to fit on the sldie, rescaling might detoriate the quality.
    Thanks,

    Theoretically if the user's not in the audio group, he shouldn't have access to sound devices.
