Drop Down Skin Menu equivalent in Captivate 4?

I've been at this for hours and I'm about to give up, so someone please help. Time is of the essence and I'm working with an incredibly unreasonable client. Here's the deal:
1. I have a fairly complex course broken into four modules. Modules vary in size from 50 slides to nearly two hundred (I know, not best practice).
2. I did initial development in Captivate 2, which I've been using for years. The issues started around re-taking the quiz and navigating back and forth. I know the answer involves navigating to the slide preceding the first question to reset the quiz, but it's so kludgy, I couldn't get this to work smoothly.
3. So after more research, I downloaded Captivate 4, which has the Re-take quiz functionality built in. It works perfectly.
4. I converted the first module only to find that my simple four line drop down menu in the upper left corner did not convert. The menu allows the user to jump between the modules, which are published as exe.
5. After hours of looking for the equivalvent in Cap 4, I just about give up. I tried to all the suggestions I could find, thinking that just building four small click boxes across the top that calls URL or File would be an adequate compromise, but I can't get it to work properly.
6. I downloaded the patch that was supposed to correct the strict path issue, but it doesn't seem to. I've copied all the exe and .cps to the same folder, navigated to the exe I want to call, deleted the absolute path, and published. When I click the clickbox, Captivate opens a browser to run the exe, and then returns an error that ie could not find the website.
7. So here's what I need: EITHER a simple way to add the equivavent of my Cap 2 drop down menu in Cap 4 to call and run exes (which is my preference) OR a really clear way to allow a user to smoothly re-take a quiz as many times as necessary in Captivate 2 to attain 60%.
I can't be the first person to need this. Anybody out there solved this issue yet? BTW - I'm not a Flash developer nor do I have access to one.

Did you get the update for CP4, released end May? You can download it in the Help menu, Updates. This patch solves some problems with calling other projects. Just a question...

How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

Hi,
I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
<form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
     <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
     <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
          <option value="1">username1</option>
          <option value="2">username2</option>
          <option value="3">username3</option>
          <option value="4">username4</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
     <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
</form>
Could somebody help me please?
Thanks.

I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Test Page</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               function userID(){
                    //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                    var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                    window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <form id="form1">
               <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                    <option>Select a User</option>
                    <option value="1">User 1</option>
                    <option value="2">User 2</option>
                    <option value="3">User 3</option>
                    <option value="4">User 4</option>
               </select>
          </form>
     </body>
</html>
//PAGE TO RETRIEVE THE USERNAME
<?php
if(isset($_GET['userID'])
     $userID = $_GET['userID'];
     echo $userID;
     die;

I can't print my statements from banking websites - the option to print (drop down file menu) from the website is greyed out

I do my banking online, and have previously been able to print my statements off the website. Since the last update, although the page shows in the browser as normal, the option to print from the drop-down file menu is greyed out and I cannot print anything, even if I try and select a portion. It is not a problem with the website as I can print without a problem in another browser program. This problem has now persisted for quite a while with no resolution over time. How do I get Firefox to allow print from a secure website (I assume that is the problem?) It occurs with more than one secure site (two different banks)

I have the same problem... not being able to print website 'Print' pages. I have read carefully the above link and have followed the reset directions in about:config, but I still cannot print in Firefox. Both Google Chrome and IE work perfectly every time. I have verified that the correct printer is selected and that the margins are in order (0.5 all around happen to be what mine are set for). I have resorted to use the Firefox Add On "View this Page in IE" whenever I need to print something. Works like a charm, but come on... it should work in Firefox too! I know there is some setting or something, but the Problems_printing_web_pages link had nothing there that worked for me.

HT2905 i am trying to delete duplcates" from my i-tunes....sounds easy...except I dont have a "show duplicates" in my drop down "view menu" !! help please

Anyone help?? I am trying to remove duplicates from my Itunes library....looks easy, except I dont have a "show duplicates" tab in the drop down "view " menu !!
So, what can I do? thanks

Dear iTunes,
YOU SUCK.
Seriously.
I have used Apple products for quite some time. I have no idea why they keep changing everything that has finally become second nature! It is now MUCH more difficult - create a playlist, show duplicates, etc. Its an absolute mess and I have yet to find anyone who does not have multiple complaints.
I have this same problem. All information I look up says use "Show duplicates", which I have done many times for years before. But now when my iPad is plugged in, that option is grayed out for me (unable to be clicked on). I went to the Apple store today and the employee couldn't even answer my questions. I am planning to go back sometime with my computer as well and beg for a solid explanation.
Wouldn't it be nice if these tracks just didn't duplicate? That seems like a proper solution that would suit me well. Until then I just plug in, arrange by song, and go through manually deleting the extras. Often. #wasteoftime #annoying #argh
Good luck.

Move a table to right or left when in the drop down tab menu

Drop down selection menu stopped working on Firefox 16

Hi there,
I have a drop down selection menu (<select></select>) on my website that triggers an ajax function to display a specific table using jquery's datatable. Prior to firefox 16, the selection menu worked fine. I clicked on the menu, and the options showed up. However, ever since I upgraded to firefox16, the selection menu doesn't work as expected anymore :S
Here's the thing, first time I clicked on an option, selection menu expanded, and I can click on any option to trigger the table change function. Everything is working fine till that point.
It's when I clicked on the selection menu the second time, the selection menu stopped working. It didn't even expand and show any options. I checked with firebug (No js error). I tried safemode/hardware acceleration option I read from another thread, it doesn't work either.
I checked with the firebug console log and I noticed the click event was being triggered whenever I clicked on it, but my selection menu somehow just won't expand (The options are in the html). I checked with all the other browsers as well, and everything seems to be fine (Even the previous version of FF).
Strangely enough, when I click on any other elements on the website and then go back to clicking that selection menu, the selection menu seems to have reset to my 1st step's state. (It stopped expanding as soon as I chose an option though and I will have to click on another element again.)

Do you know how the currently listed values got there in the first place? Some sort of custom code or action? Some background information would help. There is obviously a source feeding it from somewhere, but it's impossible for us to tell you exactly

Illustrator crashing every time I open drop down FONT menu

Every time I open my drop down font menu in illustrator it crashes immediately. It is doing this without fail every single time. As long as I don't go into Fonts, it does not crash. But I need to change my font!!!

Apetherbrigde,
It sounds like a corrupt font or corrupt font caches, see items 1) and 11) under 5) in the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Drop down searchable menu with autocomplete

Sorry, I'm new.
Is it possible to create a drop down searchable menu with auto text complete in flash?
For a web application I have a set of 300+ terms that I would like to be able to search with a drop down menu which autocompletes partially written text. After the wanted term is selected this will then link with a button in a movie clip.
Thanks,
Furna

How to edit drop-down contacts menu in apple mail?

I would appreciate if someone could tell me where I can edit the drop-down contacts menu in apple mail? I'm talking about which email address suggestions appear when you start to type a name of a contact. I've done it in the past but have unfortunately forgotten where to access this list.

If you are asking about addresses that are not in your Address Book, they are listed in Windows > Previous Recipients.

Creating Drop Down nav menu in Captivate 5.5

We are making a users guide for our field service representatives. In our index, we have quite a few categories with sub-categories. If we were to list them all out, it would take up 5 or so slides, just of navigation links to OTHER slides, where the useful content would be.
What I would like to do, is to collapse the sub-categories into drop down menus that would appear when mouse over occurs, or even if the appropriate section was clicked on. I need these sub categories to appear on the same page and to easily disappear so that my techs can continue their search without major disruption, which is why I want to do drop down menus. I could have them click on the category, and have it take them to a slide with the sub-categories, but then they would have to navigate back to the index...it's too time consuming, considering their daily responsibilities.
What is the best way to create drop down navigation menus that can go 2-4 levels deep?
Cheers!
Keith

I do utilize the TOC normally, but there was a specific request made to try
and keep them "in" the document. If there is now way to do actual drop down
menus, then I can take that back to the department head and try and sell
them on TOC, but if there is a way to give them what they are asking for,
then it would be helpful to know.
These files will be distributed to technicians on their laptops, most
likely in PDF format.
So, other than the TOC, is there really no way of making a drop down menu?
What if you wanted to do a software simulator? TOC wouldn't really be valid
for that. If in the software, there are drop down menu choices, then
wouldn't it be necessary to replicate that within the project?

How do I fix my floating drop down navigational menu?

Hello, I am currently reworking my website to make it responsive, but I have hit a roadblock with my navigation menu:
My goal for the menu is to have a floating navigational menu in which as the user hovers over the link the image changes. One of the tabs is intended to be a submenu that drops down horizontally. I also am trying to get the menu centered on the page using fluid positioning.
As of now, I have a functional drop down menu with the rollover effects. It wasn't until I began work on floating the menu that I ran into a problem. At first, the menu was not scaling proportioally with the rest of the page, but upon looking around, I found: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/beautiful-css-centered-menus-no-hacks-full-cross-browse r-support.
Using the code on the link, I recoding the menu. In the end, the drop down menu is causing the problem. When I have the drop down menu still included in the code, the menu is broken up in three lines. The submenu is grouped with its parent, but they are grouped boxy (at least in the browsers I have checked) and only two are visible.
I decided to humor myself and removed the code for the drop down menu to find that the menu works perfectly--it does everything I was aiming for for the time being--rollover, center, floating.
Is there something that I am overlooking that will fix the drop down menu?
I was thinking that I would have to center the styles for the sub menu, but I didn't see any results.
What am I missing that I am not seeing?
The links to the two pages:
http://ryanolsenstudios.com/WithDropDown.html
http://ryanolsenstudios.com/WithoutDropDown.html
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated, I have been looking around trying to figure this out, but to no avail. Thank you.

I don't advise you use images for navigation as they are NOT scalable to any good effect.
Below is a simplified version of your image buttons with dropdowns in place.
The jQuery used to create the rollover swaps is going to get very long and unmanagable (it's just as an example) I suspect there will be more streamlined solutions using jQuery if you Google, like just adding _static.jpg and_over.jpg to the end of the image src, which will keep the code to a minimum of lines.
