How well does Captivate work with Flash?

I'm kind of new to e-learning. I can create interactivity in Flash just have not used e-learning software, currently we have Articulate and it seems to be limited to actionscript 2 and player 6 for some things I need to do. Below is the description of what I have done.
I created a module built in flash which has 4 questions (will have many more). The data and images are loaded in using an XML file. The questions require the user to select the correct image, if he doesn't, he is asked to push a button, to go back. When he selects the correct image he can move to the next question.
I need the module to work in a linear fashion, in articulate the user can move forward and back to any question as he wishes because the navigation is on the articulate template and does not control the swf.
How well does flash communicate with captivate? Can I pass variables? Can I restict the user from moving forward until a flash "widget is complete"?
Any help is appreciated!

At the end of the day, the presentation is compiled into AS3 so you can easily communicated with Captivate. Actually, what you need to do is a Captivate Question Widget. If you build your swf as this, you'll be able to edit your questions from within Captivate and benefits from their LMS tracking features and some more.
I'm pretty sure that you can block to move to the next question but maybe someone else can corroborate.

E72 - How well does it work with Garmin Mobile XT?

I bought Garmin Mobile XT for my mobile and successfully installed it, but it stops responding after a while, maybe some 5-10 minutes. Has anyone else tried it with the E72?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ahhh, damn it! Ovi Maps doesn't cover Serbia (yeah, we're heaven forsaken, I know). Good thing I didn't actually buy Garmin and then figured it doesn't work.. I was considering buying it actually. Go figure - the map of Serbia, which is basically a third world country in the middle of Europe, costs exactly as much as the maps covering most of Europe. That just s*cks.
You've got kudos from me for advice, thanks!
Do you happen to know any other GPS software that does work on the E72?

How well does GarageBand work with the MB Air or the MB Pro 13"?

Greetings, everyone! I'd considering purchasing my first Apple computer -- to become more familiar with OSX (professionally) and to use GarageBand with my MIDI-compatible electronic keyboard (personally).
I'm having trouble deciding which laptop to buy--the Macbook Air or the Macbook Pro (probably the 13" -- I'm having a lot of trouble justifying the price jump from the 13" to the 15"). I like the beautiful look of the Macbook Air; but I'm wondering whether 2GB of RAM (at least for the models from Amazon.com -- where I want to buy from) will be sufficient. I plan to do basic photo editing, browsing, perhaps some simple video editing, and to use GarageBand. For that reason, I'm leaning towards the Macbook Pro 13" (sadly, with the now-dated Intel Core 2 Duo, and with 4GB).
Can anyone who is using GarageBand with either the Air or the Pro 13" with 4GB tell me what the performance is like? Would I regret going with the Air 2GB, the Pro 13" with 4GB, or even both? Thanks!

Thanks! I have a Yamaha PSR-E403. 61-keys.

Also, since you asked what model KB I have...
Like most electronic keyboards I'm sure, this model doesn't have any space to place the MBP on top. What do other users use to hold their laptop in an effective spot for lessons, etc.?
http://www.amazon.com/Stage-Stands-Deluxe-2-Tier-Keyboard/dp/B0002M3OJ0 looks good...but I already have the keyboard stand.

OTOH, these products appear to be designed for placing a larger music keyboard above the primary keyboard -- not for a laptop. Appreciate any comments.

How well does premiere work with the Canon XH-A1?

I've used premiere for some time now, but the older 6.01/6.5 version. I finally bought a camera based on what folks were saying of the camera, and naively believing "they're all the same when it comes to capture" -- i.e., firewire is firewire, so it's a no brainer.
The camera I bought was the Canon XHA1, and from what I see from a couple of posts, it sounds like Adobe and Canon are far from bed-partners...
I downloaded the trial version /specifically/ to test HD capture with the camera before I spent the big $$$ on the upgrade, but it seems the -one- feature I wanted to actually test has been disabled from the trial, which makes it rather worthless for me.
What I'm curios about is what format the capture takes -- previously, with 6.0 and a DV camcorder, I would capture in "raw" format and the system saved them to disk as .AVI files. With the Canon and a "competitive product", capturing HD creates a multitude of files -- separate audio files, a video file in some obscure format, a "scene" file or index indicating where the cut-points are or should be in the overall video, etc.
Honestly, I prefer the single file format for media, especially if I preview the entire tape and make a batch-capture list -- makes it easy to deal with "archiving" the captured media later on...

Thanks for the replies -- as it is, I do get a message with the other program >cough<pinnacle>cough< that my system might not adequately "capture" video. I suppose the system is getting to the "obsolete" stage, even though I followed the "ultimate linux box" article for the specs [AMD 3400, nvidia 6800, corsair memory, SATA disks set up as raid, etc.] but now that I think of it, it was probably the "ultimate linux box" for 2004 or so... ;)<br /><br />editing has been a little mushy with the other program, but so far all I've done is simple cuts and fades [oh, and one night hand-correcting the image stabilzation, but that's a story of it's own...] I'm kinda turned off by their "buy the package for $130 now, then pay more to turn on each individual feature you thought you were paid for in the first place..." I don't know if it will get to the point where it meets or exceeds the full CS3 price, but since I qualify for the discounted price of $300, I'll probably get there...<br /><br />But, back to the point -- if "all HD" is the same [separate audio and video files], then I'll deal with it and not worry too much. For the most part I don't care if the video "scrubs" properly, but I *do* care that it RENDERS properly (I can let the system render day and night if I have to) so I'll continue to squeeze a little more out of this "ultimate" system just a little longer [and in two or three years when my regular DVD player dies and "all that's available" is blu-ray, I'll upgrade when the prices are better :) ]

Does Captivate work with Tin Can API? Yes it does!

Hi guys,
I don't know if you've been following the progress of Project Tin Can and the Tin Can API, but if not you can find out more here:
http://scorm.com/tincan/
You may be thinking - that's great but Captivate doesn't publish for Tin Can.
Well, I'm here to tell you about a litle project that aims to allow you to take Captivate swfs and drop them into a Tin Can package that will communicate with the LRS. I've so far developed a proof of concept - a Captivate swf that reports to a TIn Can LRS and also successfully bookmarks. Its far from being a finished product and there's a lot of stuff like hard coded variables and missing functionality, but the basics are there.
You can download the proof of concept here: http://tin-can-can.googlecode.com/files/poc.zip
The project is called Tin-can-Can and is hosted at http://tin-can-can.googlecode.com
I need your help to get it finished and make it awesome - whatever your skillset.
It would be great ot have help with developing the javascript, but if you can't do Javascript I'd love you to get invovled too.
I also need people who can test the wrapper, help to build the documentation wiki, design a logo, manage the code responsitory, publicise the project, give and collect feedback from users, make/organise/implement suggestions etc. etc.
If you'd like to be involved, visit the project site for my email address and send me a mail explaining what you can and would like to do.
Feel free to shoot me any questions about the project. Send any questions about Tin Can API generically to the guys at http://scorm.com/tincan/

Hi folks,My host are still being rubbish so I've re-written the site in static HTML, moved it across to Github and re-pointed the DNS. All the good content is not available again, but in a nicer and mobile friendlier format. http://www.tincanapi.co.uk
The downside is that all of the urls have changed for the individual pages so any existing links to specific pages will get a lovely custom 404 error and need to be changed to point to the new location.

Hi chip,
I'm having massive problems with my host (123reg) these last 2 days and being at work, haven't had time to sort it. The site will be back up over the weekend, even if I have to change host.
The code is still up on github at https://github.com/garemoko
I'll probably move the whole site across to Github pages this weekend

How well does windows work?

How well does windows work on a Mac? I am thinking of getting a mac book pro and I would want to use the MAC OSX most of the time but sometimes on the road I will need to use windows for work. If I install windows also how well does it work?? Have you had any problems?

Lots of questions! I'll do what I can, I am newish to Macs and not an IT expert.
I use a MacBook when out and about, it seems fine, better when I upped the ram and HD. I'm not sure whether "better" is the right term. The pro's bigger screen and keyboard may be useful - your choice. The MacBook is my choice because of weight and price, I'm not sure what to get next time. I think I prefer portability for travel and Mac Pro power for deskbased work. The graphics driver would be the deciding factor for Cad etc for me. Not an issue so far and it's a 2 year old MacBook.
I did put a new hard drive in, the partitions were too small. A 250gb drib=ve is MUCH cheaper than a new machine, simple to install. I allowed the max XP partition at 30gb (FAT).
AV - antivirus software for XP - essential to keep clean files.
Leopard - run BootCamp and follow the instructions. It will tell you when to insert the XP disk etc. Mine was choosy about the XP version, you need a recent one. Early SP1 just don't work.
I prefer to use BootCamp and not Fusion etc - simply to maximise the MacBook resources - it's not sharing anything. That may be why I can run the apps. You just need a little planning on what you are going to work on.
Think that's all , as I said, I'm just a user.

MacBook Pro to TV-- how well does it work?

The recent announcement of tv.com CBS's streaming of old TV shows (90210, Star Trek, MacGiver, etc.) for the iPhone got me thinking about how to connect the MBP to a TV.
I've found out that there's a $19 adapter (hmm... should look again at how long the cable is), which is peanuts for trying this, but I'm wondering how well it work.
Any comments? We have an old 20" JVC tube TV and a 20" Zenith LCD TV, neither high-def, neither digital, both take RCA composite cables, so I assume that's how I'll hook up the video/sound.
But, am I going to get audio/video glitches, poor streaming (ISP dependent no doubt), restarts, etc.? Or does it generally work OK?
Note: this is a duplicate post. It was pointed out that this was the better place to post this message!

There are two factors here. The speed of the computer, and the speed of the Internet. You already acknowledged that Internet speed is ISP dependent, and that's true.
I have no problem watching standard definition even off of a slow DSL. However, frame rates are rather stuttery if I use my old G4 PowerBook. If I'm using my MacBook Pro, the experience is good enough that you forget you're watching the Internet (don't forget to click the Full Screen button).
Things change if I click the HD button on the site. This seems to be bandwidth dependent. My home DSL can't keep up, and it stutters. If you want to watch in HD you should have a nice fast cable or fiber connection. The MacBook Pro should have no problem playing back HD streaming if the Internet can feed it fast enough.
The TV connection part is not a problem. Even the old G4 can do it. Video is routed via DVI>HDMI to the TV, while audio is routed from the laptop into my stereo for nice sound.
TV sites are very dependent on Flash and JavaScript, and are very aggressive about making sure you see the ads embedded in the shows. The more you use ad blockers etc. like Firefox's NoScript or AdBlock, the more chance a TV site will not work right.

How well does VIP work?

I plan to configure two NICs per server in the public network for VIP. Based on what i read, if VIP is being "aliased" on NIC1 and if NIC1 fails, Clusterware will move it to NIC2. And if both the NICs on the server fails, it will move the VIP to the other server in the cluster.
Does anyone have any experience with this setup and do you know how well this works?
Thanks!

I was not really referring to teaming up two NICs as one, if that's what you meant by pairing or bonding.
According to the RAC FAQs on metalink:
Can our 10g VIP fail over from NIC to NIC as well as from node to node ?
Yes the 10g VIP implementation is capable from failing over within a node from NIC to NIC and back if the failed NIC is back online again, and also we fail over between nodes. The NIC to NIC failover is fully redundant if redundant switches are installed.
Also, in the same FAQ:
Can I set up failover of the VIP to another card in the same machine or what do I do if I have different network interfaces on different nodes in my cluster (I.E. eth0 on node1,2 and eth1 on node 3,4)?
With srvctl, you can modify the nodeapp for the VIP to list the NICs it can use. Then VIP will try to start on eth0 interface and if it fails, try eth1 interface.
./srvctl modify nodeapps -n -A //eth0\|eth1
Note how the interfaces are a list separated by the ï¿½|ï¿½ symbol and how you need to quote this with a ï¿½\ï¿½ character or the Unix shell will interpret the character as a ï¿½pipeï¿½. So on a node called ukdh364 with a VIP address of ukdh364vip and we want a netmask (say) of 255.255.255.0 then we have:
./srvctl modify nodeapps -n ukdh364 -A ukdh364vip/255.255.255.0/eth0\|eth1
To check which interfaces are configured as public or private use oifcfg getif
example output:
eth0 138.2.238.0 global public
eth1 138.2.240.0 global public
eth2 138.2.236.0 global cluster_interconnect
An ifconfig on your machine will show what the hardware names for the interface cards installed.
This is what i was referring to.

Intensify as external editor: how, and how well, does it work?

Intensify from developer macphun I have assigned as an image editor in iPhoto Preferences/Advanced. In iPhoto when i click on Edit the image opens in Intensity and can be edited. Unfortunately, saving after editing the image presents a standard file dialog offering to save the edited image in Documents. Getting the edited image back into iPhoto requires importing. Afterwards other data, such as Places, Faces and notes, are gone, although the original unedited photo remains in iPhoto and still has the data.
To edit with Intensify seems to require exporting, editing, then re-importing the photo. Is this how all iPhoto external editors work? I had thought that an external editor would substitute for iPhoto's editor and edit the existing photo while it remained in the iPhoto library I see on the MacPhun web site that Intensify Pro can be run "...as either a standalone app or as a plug-in to Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Apple Aperture." Does iPhoto need a plug-in version to simply replace its internal editor?
In past versions OS X allowed applications to provide services to one another. I have not kept up with how services are implemented, but I think I expected iPhoto to essentially use its services when an editing program was selected.
Can someone more familiar with OS X services, iPhoto's use of external editors in general and/or Intensity in particular, help me understand this?

Terrence,
Thanks for the comments. I appreciate the help. Sounds like you have considerable expertise in what I need to learn. Some of what you said I do not understand. If you could clarify these points it would help me more.
You say "No it's not like this with any editor used as an external editor in iPhoto." I assume you mean an external editor would edit the photo while the photo remains within the iPhoto database, so export to edit followed by import to return the edited photo to iPhoto would not be needed. Is this correct?
You say "... Intensify isn't an editor, it's a non-destructive database-based application." In my very limited reading and experience, it seems Intensity modifies single image files. How is an application intended to modify image files to change their appearance not an editor? How is an application intended to work with single files a database-based application?
While posting here I also asked MacPhun support a similar question. They replied "This editing procedure is fine, you can send the edited image from Intensify to iPhoto as shown at the screenshot attached."
The menu choice shown does allow saving in iPhoto after pressing in Intensity. However, the edited image imported into iPhoto has lost metadata such as found faces, places and comments associated with the original, and it is placed in a new Event. That MacPhun support refers to the product of what Intensity does as "the edited image" shows why I referred to Intensity as an image editor.
You say "In essence, you cannot use a non-destructive processor as an editor" yet "With Aperture I have used it as a plug-in." To me this sounds like one can use Intensity as a non-destructive processor if Intensity's function is accessed as a plug-in. That is, the necessity to export images from iPhoto to "process" (what I would call edit) them in Intensity results from how Intensity and iPhoto access the image files, not from the type of processing involved.
You say "This has nothing to do with services ..." Agreed. I mentioned services because I thought one application modifying data for another seemed like a service.
On further consideration I realize that non-destructive, eh, processing of an image requires storing the original plus the processing steps which have been implemented. This seems similar to what iPhoto's built-in editing functions do. However, I suspect Intensity's more complex processing of the image requires a more complex file structure, which iPhoto cannot read or write.
Supporting this idea of different file structures, I see my originals in iPhoto are typically JPGs of size 800 KB - 5 MB. After processing by Intensity, "-edit" is append to the file name, the format changed to tiff, and the file size increase by a factor of 8. The format conversion and consequent increase in file size I have not seen mentioned in Intensity's literature, but may be of significance to other potential users.
You say "There is no plug-in for iPhoto - perhaps you should ask the developers to make one." Agreed. Not for iPhoto, which is being terminated, but for its replacement Photos.

How well does SAP copes with a manufacturing environment ......?

Hi all,
I wanted to check about how well SAP copes with a manufacturing environment where there are many parts for many product lines, with small production quantities being the norm. In this case, you would see many BOMs, High quantity of POs, Supplier invoices etc. This is in addition to the normal needs for Quality inspection forms, WIP movement and valuation. It's intended to utilise all the modules, ordering, inventory, quality, purchasing, MRP, sales order, invoicing, payments, AR/AP, HR, CRM.

Hi,
Not sure about the scenario - many BOMs for many production line - Is it that there are very high number of material master data which has BOMs or there are lot of BOMs for single material. If it is the second case, concept of variant configuration can be used, where number of BOMs are reduced by using super BOM.
Regarding high quantity of POs: probably you can exlpore the option of clubbing small POs into a single one for common vendors.
Regards,
Amalesh

How well does Siri work?

My Logitech Webcam 500 does not work with Flash 10.4

I am running 32-bit Windows Vista (unfortunately!) and recently upgraded as recommended to Flash Player 10.4.1.53. Now when i go to some websites and want to use my webcam, it just brings up the settings window with a check box for Enable Hardware Acceleration. But it just stays even when i close the window, just pops right back up and the camera never opens.
The webcam works fine on other sites - ie: Yahoo Messenger. What gives??

Please check your Flash Player version again: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
As for the Flash Player Settings window, can't you switch to the Camera panel (the left-most tab, beside the Close button)?

IFS - how well does it work for our situtation

We currently have around 950,000 files stored on an NTFS file system. It has become a hassle to maintain and backup. We expect the number of files to grow at a pace of 150,000 per year.
These files need to be accessable by UNIX and NT. We currently are using NFS to do that for UNIX access to the files.
iFS sounds like an interesting solution to our problem. It would allow the SMB and NFS access we need. We would run iFS on Solaris. My questions are:
1. How reliable is iFS? It is stable, does it have any issues with data corruption?
2. Can iFS handle this many files efficiently?
3. What are your experiences with iFS in general?
4. Does Oracle seem committed to iFS in the future?
Any feedback is really appreciated. Please post here or you can email me at [email protected]
Thanks all!

Hi,
Just to let you know that I have just managed to successfully tether the MOFI3500-3GN 4G/LTE to an iPhone 5 running iOS8 using USB.
This was in the UK.
Solution was to upgrade the MOFI firmware to the latest version, then "upgrade" it again to the iPhone specific firmware.
After that it was just a case of plugging it in and turning on, off and then on the hotspot, "trusting" the router at the appropriate juncture.

How well does Rewire work in Logic Pro 7.2?

Has anybody who got 7.2 tried Rewire? What do you think of it? Any visible improvement?

probably thats gonna be a no no as well
this was not a bug fix
it was more loops for the GARAGEBAND users, and an intel base LOGIC
not necessary a bug fix
i swore to god, i have a feeling after this update (7.2) apple is gonna make another update saying they have fix the real problems and we have to pay for it again
then you'll get some idiots from this forum who tell us not to blame apple but to wait and buy and try to see if the problem is still there
get a hint "LOGIC 7" was cool but useless, also 7.0.1 which was useless because it was for free and didn't really fix much bugs
then 7.1 which fix a few bugs but not the most important ones and it also introduced more bugs and they added more loops just to make us happy
now there is 7.2 .GOD!!
again the most important problems haven't been fix
I bet you, you'll get some appleASS licking user who is gonna tell us not to worry and wait for the next update and hope they fix it
why won't they just listen to our problem so they know how it is in the real world
you testing logic on a clean INTEL mac doesn't mean thats how it is all around
hopeless!!!!
