How can I create a button that performs the function of a keyboard shortcut, specifically print scrn

I need my presentation users to take a screen shot of a slide within my presentation. I know that windows 8 has a new function that allows a screen shot to be taken and saved directly to the user's computer and I need a button that can be placed on a slide and perform this function. The shortcut is (windows key) + (print scrn). I want to save my userss some time and just have a button perform this task. Any idea on how I can make this possible? I am using Captivate 7.

I think Ajit may have misunderstood your need. The command he told you about triggers the Print command to allow you to print the currently active slide (on a laser or inkjet printer). This does not have the same result as you would get by hitting the PrintScreen button on your keyboard (to take a screencapture and have it saved to the Clipboard for pasting somewhere else).
You can add a button to your slide and set the PrintScreen key as the shortcut, but this will NOT mean that clicking the button will cause a screencapture to be taken.
There are JavaScript libraries that will allow you to execute JavaScript code in a Captivate project that can take a screen capture:

However, to implement these solutions you would need to be quite knowledgeable with setting up JavaScript. It's not for newbies.

How can I create a button that looks like this?

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to create a button in photoshop for a web project I'm working on and I found something similar to what I'm trying to do already being used online. I'm trying to get something similar to the bottom row of buttons in this image:
The bottom row of buttons uses a gradient overlay effect... but there is a small darker area in the top left corner of each of those images. It looks to be exactly the same in each image... meaning I'm guessing it's not hand drawn with something like the burn tool?
How would I go about doing something similar? What's the easiest way to reproduce the effect shown above keeping it consistant from button to button?

One way is using layers.
Color layer on the botton so changing colors simply change color layer.
Place all your image effects on the overlying layers.

Can I create a button that copy's a certain test to my clipboard?

Can I create a button that copy's a certain test to my clipboard?
For example, when I click the button on the website, then the next time to paste somewhere, a specific text appears?
If this is possible, could someone please explain how? =(

Hi Travis,
There is no native feature in Muse to achieve this. However, you can use custom code to achieve this. Please refer to the following link for the sample code : How to copy to the clipboard in JavaScript? - Stack Overflow

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display/

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture: a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made. (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack. A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack. This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick. If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album. Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick". (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.) The change is immediate. The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

How can I make a button that on press the object appears and on second press the object to disappear

Hello,
I'm quite new to flash programing, and I don't know how can I make a button that will make the object appear and disappear.Till now I have this code for the appear:
on (press)
    _root.top1.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.topp.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.mm1.gotoAndStop(2);
          _root.m1.gotoAndStop(2);
but from here I'm stuck.
Thank you for your help

What you can do is use the _visible property of the object to make it appear and disappear, or more correctly, use the opoosite of the _visible property. You should not put code "on" objects, keep it in the timeline.
If "object" is the instance name of the object you want to toggle, then in the timeline code you can use...
object._visible = false; // start with the object being invisible
yourButtonName.onRelease = function(){
    object._visible = !object._visible;
That one line in the function sets the object's _visible property to be the opposite of what it currently is.

How can i create a new item in the app "health"?

how can i create a new item in the app "health"? I need a field for documentation of "Waist-to-height ratio", exactly for "circumference".
It's a matter of common knowledge, that the Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has more significance then the Body-Mass-Index (BMI).

If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

How do I create a filter that bypasses the in page and goes directly to spam rather than to delete?

From your question I'm going to guess you are talking about Mac Mail.
If you are talking about a RULE then the "Perform the following actions:" would be to select "Move Message" to mailbox "Junk" instead of "Delete Message."
If you are talking about something else then please give more information.

The customer needs to know exactly how much everything will cost before submitting. I can handle the actual payment portion manually.
