HTML Progress Bar and Information Button in Captivate 7 HTML Presentation

I have a course in my LMS that I have 12 modules for, I placed 12 Captivate presentations with the each module. When a student goes through a presentation I want to indication whether or not they actually went through the presentation and how much time was spent on each slide.
Also I would like to add an information button that displays on each slide that connects to a page or another slide to display the course instructions.

Progress bars and threads...

Hey...
I've had many replies on my previous questions about progress bars. I thank everybody who was concerned. But i still don't know if i have to use a seperate thread to run the progress of my bar... Can i have a progress bar in a Frame updating the progress of some file loading without having it in a seperate thread ?? I mean if i have an application that runs a Frame, this frame has buttons, textfields and other stuff, one of the buttons uploads a file chosen to a server. Now i also have a progress bar, can it keep progress of the upload without having it in a seperate thread ?? If yes, then how. Cause i can't seem to make it move unless the upload is done... I also want to know that, if i have to use a seperate thread, do i have to use something called a SwingWorker ???

Here's the deal....
If you don't use a separate thread, then your file upload process will block the main ("dispatch") thread until it has finished. This means that the GUI will not be updated to show your ever-growing progress bar. You'll see the bar start at zero, and then nothing will happen until the file finishes uploading, and then the bar will show 100%.
Even if you are updating the bar in a loop, changes will still not be displayed, because repaint requests get put on a queue, and they are executed only when the VM decides it has time to do them (ie when it's finished doing your file upload!)
So, yes you do need to use a thread to load your file and change your progress bar. and if that thread will update any GUI elements directly, start it by calling SwingUtilities.invokeLater(myThread). Also, make sure you do "myThread.setPriority(3);" (or thereabouts - make sure it's less than 5) on the thread before invoking it. This way, the main thread that updates the gui will have priority, so will update regularly.

I am installing the latest update on Mountain lion. ( Itunes) . Screen went light gray, no progress bar, and is been running for about two hours. Help!

I am installing the latest update for Mountain lion (the iTunes update) . The screen went light gray, with no progress bars, and has remained that way for several hours. Help!

In this case, hold the Power button until your computer turns off, and then, turn your Mac on again. It looks like your computer got stuck during its restart, so it shouldn't harm anything on your computer

Splash screen with progress bar and multiple jar files to load

Hello,
I have been looking to the new features in java 6 for splash screens. I haven't implemented this never before and i was wondering how i could do the following with java 1.5 or 6:
I would like to see a splash screen with a progress bar that "grows" when every jar file has been read.
At this time i call my application like this from a shell script:
exec "$JAVA_BIN" -Djava.library.path=$LIBRARIES_J3D -classpath xxxx.jar yyyy.jar zzzz.jar ...
where xxx.jar, yyy.jar and zzz.jar are very heavy jars.
So i would like to see in the progress bar 33% 66% and 100% when they are loaded.
I do not know if this is the right forum to ask for this. If no, please point me which would be the ideal one.
Any help will be very useful. Thanks to all!

Show progress bar and percents when packaging a native installer with adt packager

Hello,
Below is a simple example using the AIR's NativeProcess for compiling an air application into a native installer... Everything works fine, so at the end of the NativeProcess, the native installer (*.exe) is created... In this case, the application which I'm trying to compile is small (approx. 600KB)... However, if I have to package into native installer a bigger file (several MBs), I would like also to monitor the progress by using a progress bar and percents... How?
private var file:File
private var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo;
private var nativeProcess:NativeProcess;
private function compile():void{
file = new File("C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\java.exe");
nativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
var args:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
args.push("-jar");
args.push(adtPath);
args.push("-package");
args.push("-storetype");
args.push("pkcs12");

Someone to offer a solution to this problem (if exists)?

When i try to restore my iPad it gets stuck a quarter along the progress bar and won't restore.

Ok so i downloaded the 4.3.3 update and tried updating but it got stuck about a quarter of the way along the progress bar and won't move. I unplugged it and plugged it in again then tried a restore, it did the same thing, i've done it about 5 times now and it still gets stuck in the same spot each time. I put it into DFU mode and tried a restore but it still won't. Help?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks, drop down menus and rollover states won't work!
Thanks

In my experience, the code created by graphics apps is less than satisfactory. And image based menus are very awkward for several reasons.
#1 If you decide to change your menu later, you must go back to your graphics app and re-craft the whole thing. After 2-3 times of this, it gets old in a hurry.
#2 Image based menus cannot be "seen" by search engines, screen readers and language translators.
#3 CSS styled text menus are better for your site's visibility, accessibility and they are a snap to edit in Dreamweaver.
That said, if you're still married to image based menus, use Fireworks to create images only. Use Dreamweaver's Image Rollover Behaviors to create your rollover scripts.

MacBook Pro frozen on startup screen with progress bar and then it turns off

Hello, I have a MacBook Pro 15" of early 2012 with a i5 Intel, 4GB of RAM and a 500 GB HD.
I was installing the new suit of Adobe, when suddenly my Mac got frozen, vertical coloured lines appeared and the image on screen went distorted. I had to reboot the Mac by holding the power button until the screen turned off and when I turned it on, the lines appeared again and it itself automatically rebooted. Then the screen (now with no vertical lines) got frozen on the startup grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for hours with no response.
I tried to follow the steps of the official mac forums like verifying the HD with CMD+R and then Disk Utility, it says everything's fine; the same happens with CMD+S, no errors. I reinstalled Mavericks with the same CMD+R. I already reset the PRAM, SMC and performed a Safe Boot staring up in Single user mode and Verbose Mode and nothing, the same startup screen. I made too thins thing of holding shift until the progress bar appeared. Three days later (Today) I repeated the steps again and finally the verbose mode. Now, when I turn it on, the startup screen appears again (Apple Log and spinning wheel) with a progress bar. When it completes, the Mac turn itself off.
if you can help me, please. I don't know what else to do. The last thing is technical service.

I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. I have lost my progress bar and song repeat function, how can I get them back?

I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. Unlike some people, I have not really had any problems but I am really annoyed with the new music feature. I have lost my progress bar abd song repeat function. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

Glad to hear it all works for you.
For future reference, if your iPhone misbehaves, always try a Reset. It's painless and often solves the problem.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
Enjoy.

IDS 9.0.4.2, Progress bar and frm-13008

Hello All,
I downloaded and installed the 10g (9.0.4.2) demos as detailed in the installguide.html.
When trying to open a canvas (layout editor) that contains my bean for the progress bar, I receive the frm-13008 error.
I've searched OTN and Metalink, and tried to make the changes I found on these sites, but I continue to receive the error.
Implementation class is: oracle.forms.demos.ProgressBarPJC
Current contents of forms90_builder_classpath: d:\oracle\10g\forms90\java\frmwebutil.jar;d:\oracle10g\forms90\java\f90all.jar;d:\oracle10g\forms90\java\jacob.jar;d:\oracle\10g\jlib\importer.jar;d:\oracle\10g\jlib\debugger.jar;d:\oracle\10g\jlib\utj90.jar;d:\oracle\10g\jlib\dfc90.jar;d:\oracle\10g\jlib\help4.jar;d:\oracle\10g\jlib\oracle_ice.jar;d:\oracle\10g\jlib\jewt4.jar;d:\oracle\10g\jlib\ewt3.jar;d:\oracle\10g\jlib\share.jar;D:\Oracle\10g\forms90\demos\progressbar\classes\progressbar.jar;d:\oracle\10g\forms90\java;
Classpath is: d:\oracle\9i\jlib\bigraphbean.jar;d:\oracle\9i\jlib\LW_PfjBean.jar;d:\oracle\9i\jlib\bigraphbean-nls.zip
What is the difference between progressar.jar and progressbarpjc.class?
The bean is visibile at runtime, but no visible changes (color changes etc) appear. Any ides as to the cause for this behavior?
Oracle must have (I hope) better documentation that what I've seen so far. Not all Forms developers have been able to jump on the Java bandwagon.
-Chris

Francois,
In regards to the progress bar moving, I am supply percentages and color changes but see no effect at runtime. This includes no error messages.
.java vs. jar, I then assume that forms would look for the .jar file then. As such the implementation class reading: oracle.forms.demos.ProgressBarPJC tells me what? That forms is expecting to see progressbar.jar, or progressbarpjc.jar, and where?
The 10g demos are installed to D:\Oracle\10g\forms90\demos and there I have a folder named progressbar not progressbarpjc. Is this part of the issues?
I'm glad Oracle has made using there demos so easy to setup and use.
Thanks for your help.

6i Template.fmb Progress Bar and Inv Org LOV

I am building a custom form for use with Oracle Apps.
I have two problems:
1. The progress indicator canvas appears after the window is closed. I do not know what is calling it or how to prevent it from poping up.
2. I would like to use the INVSTAND parameters for org_id and I would like to set those parameters by mimicing the behavior of other windows. (If the user has not selected an inv org, they are prompted with an LOV.) Can anyone tell me how to implement this?
I have created the form using the template.fmb file using 6i and Apps 11.5.?
Dan

This is kind of an old thread. But, I'm having the same problem now. When I use the windows MDI close button on a child window (called by the initial form window), the progress bar canvas is launched. I'm not even using the progress bar anywhere. Also using the TEMPLATE.fmb.
What is the cause of this?

About progress bar and Photoshop

I have been reading a lot about how to make a progress bar in photoshop (scripting) and my conclusion is that it is not worthy. The only way to make a progress bar is by using Palette window but Photoshop does not support it. If we use a dialog window, since it is modal, it will freeze whatever your script is doing so, you cannot use it (how to track the progress of a script if the script is paused while the dialog is being shown?). Although Photoshop does not support Palette, there are two workarounds that would make it work and they are using either app.refresh() or waitForRedraw() (and undocumented function that seems to me to do exactly the same thing that app.refresh() does). But as the manual says, app.refresh() will slow down considerably your code. According to my experimentation, each time you call app-refresh(), your script will waste about 1 second (no matter how powerful your computer is). That is a lot of time! In practical terms, you would use app.refresh() only a few times so your progress bar could be refreshed only a few times during the whole duration of your script, still one second lost for each time you use it. In other words, there is no good way of making a progress bar in photoshop scripting.
My question is: am I right? Is there a way to code a progress bar in PS that would not delay the code unreasonably?

Since I wrote that post I've learnt that BridgeTalk is pretty sensitive - for instance to binary code: instead to let .toSource() functions that needs to go to the message, you'd better of wrapping them into a String literal.
True, AM is lightning fast compared to DOM! But I won't use BridgeTalk for a Palette if the Palette is needed just for a progress bar. Such a Palette will stay alive while your script does all the things it's supposed to do without the need of waitForRedraw().
In my snippets library I've found this one that might help:
* Create a progress window
* @param {String} title           = title
* @param {String} message         = message (updatable)
* @param {Boolean} hasCancelButton = add a Cancel button (default: false)
* @usage          w = new createProgressWindow "Title", "Message", true
createProgressWindow = function(title, message, hasCancelButton) {
var win;
if (title == null) {
    title = "Work in progress";
if (message == null) {
    message = "Please wait...";
if (hasCancelButton == null) {
    hasCancelButton = false;
win = new Window("palette", "" + title, undefined);
win.bar = win.add("progressbar", {
    x: 20,
    y: 12,
    width: 300,
    height: 20
}, 0, 100);
win.stMessage = win.add("statictext", {
    x: 10,
    y: 36,
    width: 320,
    height: 20
}, "" + message);
win.stMessage.justify = 'center';
if (hasCancelButton) {
    win.cancelButton = win.add('button', undefined, 'Cancel');
    win.cancelButton.onClick = function() {
      win.close();
      throw new Error('User canceled the pre-processing!');
this.reset = function(message) {
    win.bar.value = 0;
    win.stMessage.text = message;
    return win.update();
this.updateProgress = function(perc, message) {
    if (perc != null) {
      win.bar.value = perc;
    if (message != null) {
      win.stMessage.text = message;
    return win.update();
this.close = function() {
    return win.close();
win.center(win.parent);
return win.show();

Progress bar and threads

I have made a web browser, when you load a web-page a progress bar is displayed showing the current progress of the page loading. However if you try and load a new page before the previous page has finished loading the progress bar goes crazy. I have included a short example of what is happening below:

Using Swing Worker.... Just like your code intended, the progress bar will wait one second upon completion before being made invisible. If the "New Page" button is pressed then the old SwingWorker exits gracefully and a new one starts up. All modification of the JProgressBar is done on the Event Dispatching Thread.

Macbook Pro get grey progress bar and shuts down

Hello All,
I have a macbook pro and I faced this issue out of nowhere. After shutting down the system last time, when I started the system, I could hear the apple chime, apple logo appeared with grey progress bar below it. The bar will progress to 1/3 or so and it will disappear and after few seconds laptop will shut down. I tried few times but same things was happening again and again.
After going through few support forums, I booted by pressing D to run the Apple hardware test. It wouldn't do anything at all. Apple hardware test was stuck at pass number: 1 with elapsed time of 7 seconds. All retry were the same as the first one.
I rebooted the laptop and pressed command + R and entered in recovery mode/recovery disk. I clicked on Disk utility and select Macintosh HDD and started disk verification. I got hundreds of errors/warning, saying Missing thread recode (id = XXXXXXX) and it suggested to repair the disk. I tried to repair the disk but after similar message, pop window appeared with message that disk cant be repaired. I exited out of it and went back to recovery menu.
I selected Reinstall OS X Mountain Lion and went through steps and at the point where I have to select my HDD, there was just one option and I couldn't select it. It gave message that This HDD is locked. I can't start in safe mode, and can't reinstall OS X
I believe this is because of my hard drive might have crashed. can anyone help?
Thank you,

It does sound like your having mechanical or other issues with your boot drive.
If your machine is under AppleCare or warranty you can take it to them.
If you can user service your machine, you can opt to try to see if a new drive will work and install it yourself, or have a local geek do it for you.
