How do I make a project play automatically

I have recorded 4 presentations, all with a power point presentation first slide. When doing one of them I found somewhere a setting so that it starts playing automatically, the other 3 need the user to either click on the start button on the toolbar or use the enter key. I have searched and searched to find how I managed to get the one starting automatically but can not now find it - any help from anyone would be much appreciated as I would like them all to start playing automatically.
Thanks

Hi again
Well, it's because you didn't advise up front what version of Captivate you are using. As you seemed to be a new user, it would appear I mistakenly assumed you were using version 4.
You might want to review the link below:

As for auto starting, if you are using Captivate 3 or older, it should already be playing automagickally. This would infer you have a Button, Click Box or Text Entry Box object on the first slide. Any of those objects will typically pause the playback until they are dealt with.
Cheers... Rick

  • How can I make music (mp3) play automatically in one Scene (NO buttons)?

    How can I make an mp3 play automatically in one Scene (NO buttons)? I have been searching the net for answers for over 10 hours with no answer... My movie will not be for the web, it needs to be portable (CD or flash drive)...
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
    thank you!

    You just need to look in Help for the Sound class and possibly SoundChannel... if you have an MP3 in your library - right click it, and go to properties. Set the sound to export for ActionScript - and give it a class name - mySound will work. Then you can make it play with something as simple as:
    var a:SoundChannel = new mySound().play();

  • How do I make iMovie projects play in Windows Media Player?

    How do I make movies that I have created in iMovie play in Windows Media PLayer having been transferred by memory stick or email? This would be ideal to know because my school's computers are PCs and our main computer is an iMac.

    By far the easiest way is to have the school install the free QuickTime Player (Windows Version) from Apple.
    Otherwise, you can buy a version of Flip4Mac that will enable you to do the conversion using QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip.

  • How do you make the dashboard open automatically at login?

    Ok, you know in your dock you can right click on any application icon and it will come up with some options, one of them being "Open at Login." Well, I want to automatically open the dashboard at login, but when I right click on the dashboard icon it does not give that option. How do I make the dashboard open automatically when I log in?

    There is a freeware app called "Dashboard Starter" that will start the DB up when you log-in, or anytime you force quit the Dock.app.
    Search www.macupdate.com for it.

  • How can I make my iPod sync automatically?

    When I first got my iPod I chose for it NOT to sync automatically but I should have. I have no idea how to get back to those settings but want to change it so it syncs on it's own. I've read a few topics here and noticed stuff about Summary tabs but the thing is, I have nothing like that on mine, I have no setting options whatsoever. I tried registering my iPod on here to see if that would do something but the thing is, it asked for payment details but I don't want to pay for anything. I don't use the iTunes store to download my music, I transfer it from another downloading software.
    So, my question is - how do I make my iPod sync automatically and how do I find these 'settings' that everybody else appears to have?

    Connect your iPod to the computer. That will cause

    No it doesn't. Instead I have a screen with a picture advertising 3 different iPods.

  • How do I make the plugin run automatically when a photo is imported?

    As John said, there is no mechanism to receive notification of import. The likely recourse is continuous polling (unless you get very creative..).
    You can try optimizing. e.g.: every second (or less), see if the count has changed, if it's gone up, something's been imported, if not then probably not (check anyway once in a while..).

    How do I save the custom metadata with the image file?
    Lightroom 5 has the limitation, plugin  cannot link the custom metadata fields to XMP file or save them with image file.
    So, is there any alternative way to save the custom metadata?
    Yeah: Lightroom won't save custom metadata in xmp, nor read it if it's there, so you are pretty much on your own - you can save in a file, but if you save as non-standard sidecar Lr won't attend to it like it will jpg or xmp sidecar. For that reason it's often better to save in a separate dedicated location. You can save in image file itself, e.g. using exiftool if raw file, but that would make me nervous, and of course you'd have to have the logic to read it somewhere too..
    Good luck,

    I'm not familiar with JBoreland IDE, but is there a way to export your project .jar file?
    If so than theres your solution. .Jar files just need to be exected (IE: Double click.) Also if this isn't the appropriate solution than you can export to a .jar file and use JSmooth to turn your .jar file into a .exe. For any other solutions I suggest you look on google.

    How do i make the database open automatically at startup in solaris?

    need to write a shell script that is invoked from /etc/init.d/ and soft link the following:
    ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc3.d/S99oracle
            ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc2.d/K99oracle
            ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc1.d/K99oracle

            ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rcS.d/K99oracleThe shell script should be pretty straight forward.

  • How do I make one video plays after the other

    Let's say I have an idvd project with 5 different movies, how do I make one plays after the other? When I click next, it goes back to the menu. Thanks Alex

    There are two ways to do this.
    1. If you have it, use iMovie HD6. You can put all of your movies into one project, and add chapter markers at the beginning of each movie. This will allow you to play your movies straight through or select the individual movies, like a scene selection.
    2. You can use iDVD instead. Check out this post by Old Toad on how to use this method.

  • How do I make a playlist play UNchecked songs?

    When creating a new smart playlist there's a checkbox option called "Match only checked items".
    This means you can make a playlist that will include unchecked items.
    Now how do I get them to play?
    In particular I use the Genre field in conjunction with the Grouping field to identify Christmas songs. After all a Christmas song can be Rock, Funk, Soul, Pop, Folk, etc. whatever. I keep these songs unchecked so that they don't turn up in my smart playlists the rest of the year when I'm making a playlist of e.g. R&B.
    However, I also have a smart playlist called Christmas that collects all these unchecked songs. Now how do I get it to play those songs?
    Thanks.

    You dug up an old apple account from years ago to respond to Grant Greene's 13 month old post?
    I've been asking this question for years, because SOMETIMES I just make a playlist of a mix of checked and unchecked songs so that I can listen to ALL the songs in that playlist without checking them, ..
    and valiant66 wrote,
    "Besides, the checkmarks were put there to control what syncs with your iPod, not what you listen to."
    which is incorrect. The option Sync only checked songs was put there for for additional control when syncing, not the only control
    As noted, unchecking songs does more than simply not sync them.
    And even when unchecked, you need to select the option to not sync checked songs.

    A few weeks ago I started to notice the Project Bin coming up whenever I went to quick edit. I don't think it did it before that. I always have to go to windows and uncheck it to get more screen space to work with.
    How do I get the Project Bin to Not automatically come up when I press Quick edit in Premier Elements 9?

    This is the Premiere Elements forum.
    Quick Edit is a function of Photoshop Elements. If this is a question about Photoshop Elements, you're more likely to get an answer in the Photoshop Elements forum.
