How do i create a button that will always play my flv, not just once?

I'm currently using captivate 5.5 and need to use a button to load my flv. That button works fine and when the flv finishes it returns me back to the slide with the button on, the problem is the button no longer works when you press it again if you want to see the flv again...help! My flv is set up to not be visible as I want it to be hidden until the button is pressed as it cover my entire slide when it loads. I set it to run for the duration of the clip so it's great when it returns me to my slide but then the button won't make it visible again when you press it. I tried setting the button to enable after show hoping it would reset the button but that doesn't work...as you can see I only know the basics of Captivate!

The issue may be due to the fact that once you've clicked the button its Success criteria has been used. This can be reset by re-entering the slide where the button is located.
So in order to have your video play multiple times, you may need to use a different strategy than your current one. You could try placing the video on a different slide to your button. Set the button click to jump to that slide, and once the video has finished playing, set the OnSlideExit action to jump back to the slide with the button. That way your button gets reset each time ready for another click to launch the video slide.

Acrobat 9.0 Std - How do I create a button that will show / hide the menu bar?

In Adobe Acrobat 8, I was able to create a button that would show the menu bar using Link Properties. In version 9.0, the option I used is missing.
The other view options are there under "Execute a menu item": View > Toolbars > File, Edit, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

I NEED ASSISTANCE CREATING A BUTTON THAT WILL EMAIL A PDF FORM FROM A WEBSITE TO WHOEVER THE VIEWER WANTS TO

Just a bit more info. E-mail can be used, but has potential problems -- often related to the client machine that you have no control over. Use the data submissions (either FDF or XML) rather than the full PDF so you do not have to deal with Reader Rights and the related license issues. The FDF and XML data files are easily imported into the original form so that you see what the client sees. With those aspects in mind, just go ahead and try one. Be aware that you can add form fields using the form tools in the Advanced Editing tools, OR use the forms menu that will take you to Designer. You might want to try both to see the pros and cons. Be sure to keep such a test simple so you are not wasting time on your final form just for testing. I typically create a 1 page form that has all of the possible fields for such a test.

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
I currently run OS X 10.10.1
Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
Here is an example of what i want to happen.
I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

Hi Shegra,
Paste this into a applescript editor window and run it from there. In the script you may need to adjust the four properties to agree with your spreadsheet. Let me know if you have any questions.

Script starts:
-- This script converts column A in one table into an alphabetized list of popups. It copies the last cell in that column. Then reverts the column to text. It then refreshes popups in column A of a data table starting with a user defined row.

Creating a button that will Copy my view from so I can paste it to MS Word

Is there a way I can create a button that will copy my view from so I can paste it MS Word?
I know I can select the entire form and copy and paste it, but is there a way to do it via a button similar to my "Print Form" button?
Thank you.

so there isn't a button that will copy the text my view form?
instead of highlighting the data I want to easily copy it so I can paste it on a word document
I came up with a script that when a item is highlighted I click the copy to clipboard and it copies the item.
<script type="text/javascript">
function CopyToClipboard()
CopiedTxt = document.selection.createRange();
CopiedTxt.execCommand("Copy");
</script>
but is there a way I can put in the script the area I want to start the copy from instead of highlighting the text first?

Can you create a button that will go to multiple key frames?

Hi, I am trying to make a rpg style character select interface. What i am trying to do is very similar to the picture below. How do you create a button like the stats, gear, and supplies that will each show a different image or text depending on which character you choose. If noone have played this marvel facebook game before, if you choose for instance Ironman, then the buttons on the right change to stats, bio, and gear. Each character will show a different bio when the bio button is clicked. Do i create a different screen for each character with the same button layout in the same place? I think i just answered my own question but i want to make sure that is possible. Should each character portrait, stats, bio, and gear be on its own layer and have the buttons go to those specific keyframes? thanks

While you could create a different screen for each, a better way to do this is via some form of database. The buttons cause functions to be executed and the functions utilize data resources based on the selections that are established.
So if you pick a particular character, a variable is a assigned a value that indicates that. That variable is then utilized to extract the data associated with the character and to build the screen elements related to the options for that character.

Can I create a button that will take me to a random slide in a sequence?

Let's say I have three simulations setup and the simulations start on slide 5, 15, and 23. Can I make a button that will randomly jump to one of those slides?

You have to execute that script using an event, in this case you'll use the Success event of the button that you created to 'jump'. And it will probably be an advanced action, unless you execute the JS with the On Enter event of the slide. You have two commands: first to execute the script, second to jump to that slide, for which you'll have to use a system variable cpCmndGotoSlide and the value of the variable returned by the JS. Slide numbering starts with index 0.

How to Best Create a DVD that will play on BOTH Mac and Windows

Hello - Looking for some direction. How can I create an iDVD DVD that will play on both Mac & Win? I can not find a solution that will accomplish this. What I did was create an .img then burned to DVD. This plays fine on my Mac & on home stereo DVD but not on a windows machine. The Windows machine can "read" the DVD fine but WIndows Media Player can not play it. Do I need to have folks use a special player on WIndows? Is there another format the I should have iDVD output? I need to send some DVDs to college coaches for my son and am trying to do this the best way without knowing what platform (Mac or WIn) they will be using. What is the best approach?
Thanks in advance for your help,
David

Hi
There are two ways to burn a DVD.
• as a Data-DVD (eg including a video.img file or any data)
• as a Video-DVD
A. Data DVD is what You creat by just popping in a DVD disk and OK to format it.
B. Video-DVD - You make from within iDVD and insert thed DVD WHEN iDVD asks for it
(OR - Via Disk Util tool - Still introduced when asked to do it !)
(or via Roxio Toast™ - STILL not inserted until asked to do this)
So what You've done is a Data-DVD with Your movie as an .img file on it.
• Can only be playbacked on Your Mac
Open "Disk Util tool"
Then on Dasktop - Double click the .img file so that it creates a fake DVD disk
Then in "Disk Util tool" - select it and click the Burn (Nuclear) button
THEN insert a new DVD WHEN asked to do this.
NOW ! ! Select a lower Burn Speed eg 4xDVD - This will result in a DVD with few burn errors and
a PC will read it easier !
Use of quality DVD brand is also important - I use Verbatim
I use DVD-R
Good Luck - Bengt W

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:
https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/wiki/Screen-Capture
However, to implement these solutions you would need to be quite knowledgeable with setting up JavaScript. It's not for newbies.

How do You create menu buttons that move up and down with a remote?

I have six menu items that are linked to their proper locations. When I simulated it a Hand moves over the proper choice then when I click there we go.
But on the DVD simulator you can't navigate. I thought maybe I would bring in one of the templates to use their buttons I can't get my images to replace theirs. Any help appreciated.
Jerome

Take a look here to make sure buttons are being set properly
http://dvdstepbystep.com/buttons07m.php
And download the movie if you like
I create a button, then set the text and include highlights
I then create another button, then set the text and the include highlights
I then click on the menu and go to the inspector to see colors
RED Normal
BLUE Selected
YELLOW Activated
In simulater I then use the remote control and CANNOT navigate through the buttons
I stop Simulator and then use Auto Assign Buttons Now Command, then relaunch Simulator and get the remote control to work
Make sure to link the button to the track you want to go to.
I thought the issue is that you cannot navigate the buttons with the remote control? If you only have one button on the screen, it will always be selected (Yellow in your project as described)
If it is flashing Megenta and nothing happens, it means a target has not been set (or somehow you are targeting the menu again)
So the only two condiitions you will see is yellow or magenta.

How can I make a button that will work on iPads? (animate only on Mousedown)

I am making an interactive page in Adobe Edge Animate. It will double as a low-mem website and also as an iPad page and is part of a larger flash website which is highly animated.
This website sports two kinds of buttons; the ones linking to a label in the timeline and the ones linking to a URL.
The problem is that I do not want the buttons to work on mouseover because that will be completely useless on iPads and similar devices. That is why I want the thing to animate on mousedown.
What I did initially was to load the on and off states of the button to my timeline and made them into a symbol, after that I made two labels inside of that symbol; one for the on state and one for the off state. Below the first label there is a "sym.stop("ONstate");" action and then my off-state button graphic has a mousedown "sym.stop("skipON");" action. Then comes the tricky part, I wanted to reference the label on which it should land in a onclick action on a root level. It didn't work at all. I used "_root.stop("label");". As you can see my programming abilities are extremely poor, I'm a graphics guy.
Next, I decided to leave the mousedown action inside the symbol and do the onclick action on the main timeline, which did work for the most part, however it behaved weirdly. First off, the mousedown action worked perfectly, but not at the same time with the onclick action; You would click on the mousedown thing and it would stop on the frame and then you would need to click it a second time to go to the label.
There must be either something I'm doing wrong or this function is not supported by the Edge Animate beta. But my programming abilities are so poor to pinpoint the real cause of the problem.
Can anyone help me please?

Hi, redcrowdesign-
Part of the problem is that you're using ActionScript syntax in a JavaScript environment. Instead of using _root, you can access the Stage object. If your symbol is only one level down, you can use sym.getParentSymbol().stop("label");. If you have a nested symbol, you may find sym.getComposition().getStage().stop("label"); more effective.
That being said, you might want to rethink your UI model and focus your iPad interactions on the touch events, which are much more performant than the mouse events.
Hope that helps,

How do I create a package that will install a shell script?

From various sources I have made this shell script which creates a hidden admin user, starts ard and sshd.
I would like to make this a package which will run on a machine on first boot. (I'm using deploystudio to deploy ML)
It creates a hidden user called testuser1 with the password of password1
[code]# Create user record in directory services
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1 RealName "testuser1"
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1 UniqueID 401
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1 PrimaryGroupID 20
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1 UserShell /bin/bash
dscl . -passwd /Users/testuser1 "password1"
# Set up a hidden home folder
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1 NFSHomeDirectory /var/testuser1
cp -R /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj /var/testuser1
chown -R testuser1:staff /var/testuser1
# Grant admin & ARD rights
dseditgroup -o edit -t user -a testuser1 admin
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ki ckstart -activate -configure -access -on -users testuser1 -privs -all -restart -agent
# Tell loginwindow not to show the user
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow Hide500Users -bool TRUE
# Alternate: defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow HiddenUsersList -array testuser1
# start remote login ssh
systemsetup -setremotelogin on[/code]
I'm using package maker but it keeps failing. If I add it from somewhere like my Documents dir it says it will give my username the permissions instead of root. If I add it from / and make root the owner packagemaker errors probably because my user doesn't have the rights to it. I want it to copy somewhere then maybe have another script that copies to the same location and does an rm to remove the previous script so no admin details are left on the machine

Basicilly I want to roll out an image that will work with all models of macs which are comaptible with Mountain Lion. To do so I'm using deploystudio with the installESD.dmg as the image. This way it will install the relevant drivers for each model of mac. So the image should work whether it's a mac pro tower/mac mini/macbook.
Upon completetion deploystudio lets you run packages so I would like the script above to be in a package. I don't want it even to copy the script anywhere I would just like it to run the .sh file I've made if thats possible?
I'm just not sure what steps to take with packagemaker, I've never used it before.
But yeah the ultimate goal is: upon installation completetion setup hidden admin user that will have ssh and ard access.

How do i create a button that will always play my flv, not just once?
