I need to pause the slide while A role over caption audio plays

I am working in Captivate 4, I have a few audio explanations in role over captions and I need to pause the slide if the learner scrolls over them. currently it will play both the slide & role over at the same time. Anybody got a solution????

Hi Paco,
Here is an AS3 version for Captivate 4:

I don't have CP4 installed on this machine anymore so I haven't been able to test if it works or not.
Good luck ;o)

  • What upload speed do I need to upload the XL photo books with over 25 pages?

    I have just recently gotten a new Internet provider and the max upload speed I can get is 1mbps but I am only getting .4 mbps at the most.  When trying to upload an XL photo book with over 26 pages it keeps failing to transfer/upload and the error message says to check the internet connection.  I'm wondering what upload speed I need to upload?  I need to cancel this internet provider before my free month runs out if 1mbps is not going to be fast enough.

    Well I have my first order coming in tomorrow (according to Fedex) and I have my fingers crossed.
    So far I haven't been able to find any local printers that will print and bind the books at a reasonable cost - best I've found so far is $200 (or more) per book.
    Hardly cost effective for my relatively meager budget.
    I've explored Asuka a littoe more, and their quality does appear to be superior at first glance, but it seems I am not able to take advantage of submitting my aperture-generated book directly. According to their templates I have to put everything together manually in Photohop. Great for end-control, but one thing that made me pursue this was the ability to generate a book inside Aperture using versions direct from collection (any changes I made to an original image were automatically incorporated in my book. Had I done it all manually, teh time/effort I'd be putting into the book with be well over 5x greater!
    I've also looked at shutterfly.com so far - and they seem promising, and am wiating for my colleagues order to go through before I get too excited.
    Either way, I hope to have my first printing this week - I'll keep ya posted!

  • I can't get my shuffle to play through all my playlists. Once I pick a playlist, it will play that one all  the way through and start over instead of playing the next one.

    How do I get my shuffle to play all my playlists through their entirety?  I will select one and it will play all the way through and start over.  I want it to finish that one and move to the next playlist, and so on.

    I think that's the way it's supposed to work. 
    You should just create another "merged" playlist that has ALL the songs from those playlists, with songs in the order you want them played, then use the play in order setting on the shuffle.
    It won't take up any more space on the shuffle, because all of the songs will already be on the shuffle due to the separate playlists.

  • While downloading 3.6.4 with auto update, I needed to pause the download. It is now frozen & will not allow me to resume the download.

    When I go to Help there is an option now for me to click "Resume Downloading Firefox 3.6.4 I am using Firefox on a U3 USB thumb drive.

    You can NOT downgrade iOS.
    That said, millions people have updated to iOS 5 without experiencing the problems you report. Why don't you try some basic troubleshooting before you resort to drastic measures.
    Restoring from your backup will NOT revert the phone to iOS 4.
    First, try to reset all settings. This will re-set the network settings and clear any personalization (wallpaper, custom assigned ringtones, etc.) but you will not lose any data.
    Then, try a simple re-set. If that doesn't work, try restoring from your last backup. If that doesn't work, Erase all content and settings and set it up as a new device.  It's possible one or more of the apps you are trying to use

  • Need to pause the action

    I have one action with 15 steps . How can the action pause at 7th and 11th step in 5 seconds ? I insert Stop but after the action stops I have to click play button to continue- it takes time. Thanks for your help.

    You can use the built-in action pause playback option but you will need to create two scripts. One to set the option to pause and the second to set it back normal.
    function setPlayback( optionID, seconds ) {
        //stringIDToTypeID('accelerated')
        //stringIDToTypeID('pause')
        // second argument required only when id = pause
        var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
            var ref = new ActionReference();
            ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), charIDToTypeID('PbkO') );
            ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('capp'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
        desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
            var optionsDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
            optionsDesc.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('performance'), stringIDToTypeID('performance'), optionID );
            if(seconds!=undefined) optionsDesc.putInteger( stringIDToTypeID('pause'), seconds );
        desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('T   '), charIDToTypeID('PbkO'), optionsDesc );
        executeAction( charIDToTypeID('setd'), desc, DialogModes.NO );
    setPlayback( stringIDToTypeID('pause') , 5 );
    and
    function setPlayback( optionID, seconds ) {
        //stringIDToTypeID('accelerated')
        //stringIDToTypeID('pause')
        // second argument required only when id = pause
        var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
            var ref = new ActionReference();
            ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), charIDToTypeID('PbkO') );
            ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('capp'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
        desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
            var optionsDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
            optionsDesc.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('performance'), stringIDToTypeID('performance'), optionID );
            if(seconds!=undefined) optionsDesc.putInteger( stringIDToTypeID('pause'), seconds );
        desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('T   '), charIDToTypeID('PbkO'), optionsDesc );
        executeAction( charIDToTypeID('setd'), desc, DialogModes.NO );
    setPlayback( stringIDToTypeID('accelerated') );
    Then where you need the pause have the action run those two scripts.

  • Need to resequence the pages while Printing

    Hi,
    I have a PDF with 4 pages but while printing, I want to print them in the order of pages as 3, 4, 1 and 2. This is just an example. I even have a PDFs with 100 pages which has to print in the order of pages as 99, 100, 97, 98 and so on.
    Can anyone guide me on, how to implement and automate this sequencing during printing?

    This question really has nothing to do with the PDF specification. You
    might get better results asking in the Acrobat forum. However, have
    you looked at imposition software, such as QuiteImposing, as a
    possible solution?

  • Need details of the error while executing query in RSRT

    Hi,
    when I  am executing a query in RSRT,I am getting the following error:
    error in exception with the type "cx_sy_export_no_shared_memory"occured ,but
    error no space left in the shared memory.
    Please provide more information regarding the same.
    Thanks,
    Rashmi.

    Hi Rashmi,
    Try to narrow down the output by using more and more variable & providing more & more inputs to those variable  and system should show you the output .
    Also check the read mode of the query in RSRT -> Properties , it should be set to "H".
    Try to minimize no. of characteristics in "Rows" area of the query, put them all in Free characteristics.
    Hope it helps.

  • Roles not visible in the Catalog while requesting roles in OIM 11gr2

    Hi Experts,
    We have recently installed the OIM 11g r2 for a POC purpose and created few roles. The issue is we are unable to see the roles created while requesting the roles in catalog.
    Already run the Catalog Synchronization Job and its scheduled to run in every 15 mins.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Also, which type of Role Category did you chose for the ones you created ? If you chose "OIM Roles" they won't appear in the catalog, any other Category (e.g. "Default") will be shown.
    Try creating a new role with the "Default" category to test it; changing an OIM Role to another category won't work, it will still be hidden.

  • How to stop the soundtrack while there is a video that playing during the presentation???

    please help me... i spent hours and hours trying to figure it out!

    You can if fact add an "animation" to the sound file and video file. If you select a video (or sound) you can go to animate and under "Build In" you have: "Start Video/Sound" and under "Build Out" you have stop. If you have a sound that you would like to stop at the same time as you start your video you can tie those two "animations" together. Then you can decide if you want to click to stop the audio or if you want to stop it after a specific period of time.

  • How do I pause a slide without the playbar?

    Hi I am using Cap 6 and I do not have a playbar on my published project, I have a back and next button, how can allow the user to stop or pause the slide do I need some java script on a button?

    You'll have to use the system variables cpCmndPause and cpCmndResume.  More details about system variables in this  blog post:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/system-variables-in-captivate-6
    You can assign the action 'Assign cpCmndPause with 1' as Success action for the Pause button, but would recommend doing it with a standard, not with a simple action (anyway those variables are not available in the dropdown list of the Action accordion). And to play again it has to be 'Assign cpCmndResume with 1'
    If you want it to be done with one button, create a conditioal action :
       IF  cpCmndPause = 1
       Assign cpCmndResume with 1
    ELSE
      Assign cpCmndPause with 1

  • Need to pause Background music during .flv playback

    Hello,
    I have a project that has 2 .flv videos, and I need to pause the background music while the user is playing those videos- is there an advanced action that would let me do this?  Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

    No worries.
    I looked through the Cp4/5 system variables and I didn't see a way to manually set the background audio to 0%.
    I don't know what else is going on in your slide so this may or may not give the effect you want, but can you mute the background audio in the slide properties and add the narration audio to an invisible object on the slide?

  • Cannot Move the Slider in Videos/Podcasts

    I cannot seem to drag and move the slider while watching a music video or podcast. The pause/play and the forward buttons work, but I cannot move freely to any part of the podcast/video or adjust the volume with the slider, almost as if there was some sort of blockade. Any ideas how to resolve this? I really appreciate any tips.

    There's a weird bug in the latest version of iTunes regarding this issue. If you maximize iTunes and run it full screen, I believe you'll find that all of the video controls, including the volume slider, now work. However, if the program is minimized even slightly, the controls no longer work. I've tried this on two different Windows machine with the exact same results.

  • Please pause this slide.

    I have a program in Captivate 5.  On one of the slides, I have an image of a man with a "thought cloud" behind and above his head.  I have added text boxes to this thought cloud making the captions appear within 2 seconds of each other.  I have the timeline set so that there is plenty of time for each caption to be read.
    The problem is that the slide continues to run on to the next slide as soon as all the caption appear.  I want users to click the "next" button to be advanced to the next slide.  I tried placing a clickbox on the slide with the setting "pause until user clicks" but the slide still rolls on.
    One other thing, this may be related somehow, when I play the slide, it starts to run then pauses.  It will then play 2-3 more text captions then pause, I have to continue to click play (in the preview) to get this thing to go. 
    Any ideas on how to display all the text captions (for the rest of the slide) then pause the slide until the user clicks the next button.
    Thanks
    MC

    as lilybiri says, seeing the timeline will give a definitive answer..
    Think of the project timeline as one big long filmstrip, that runs from left to right.  Once you start the project, it runs from left to right showing and hiding objects until you tell it to stop.  You tell it to stop with a button that has a pause, or a click box that has a pause.  If you don't tell it to stop and wait, it's going to just truck along through your captions, doing exactly what you told it to do.
    When you're inserting a click box with a pause, you need to make sure that pause (the very end of the click box's life) falls within the span of that caption.  So if your caption is on the timeline from the 1 second point to the 4 second point (3 seconds total) you want the pause of that click box (the two thick vertical bars, kind of like this ||) to be somewhere between 1 second and 4 seconds.  I personally would put it at 3 or 3.5 seconds.
    So the project starts to run, the playhead moves left to right.  It sees your caption and displays it.  It sees your click box appear and it 'displays' it.  Then suddenly at 3.0 seconds it sees the pause and the playhead stops and waits for the learner to click.  Once you click the box, the playhead is released and it continues to move along to the right until it sees another pause.

  • Having trouble pausing a slide with audio paused

    Hi, I have a slide with audio.  I have a hyperlink on this slide, and I would like the slide to pause if someone clicks the hyperlink, then keep playing when the viewer presses the "play" button again.  If the viewer does NOT click the hyperlink, I'd like the slide to play as normal.  I can easily get the audio to stop playing when the hyperlink is clicked, but the slide itself keeps playing sans audio, and the next slide then comes up without the audio ever restarting.  Can someone tell me how to conditionally pause the slide when a hyperlink is clicked?  Thank you!

    Did you remove the "Continue playing project" from your click box properties? Right next to the URL is a button with a small triangle on it. If you click that you can define how to open up the URL (new window, current window etc.). At the bottom of that list you need to remove the tick in front of "Continue playing project".

  • CP8 - Pausing a slide.

    I'm still learning Captivate but, to pause a slide to wait for interaction before advancing, you have to include 'Pause' in an Advanced Action when the slide starts or in another interaction. Doing this means that timing or effects, or the ability to 'Show' an object delayed by timing or effects, have no outcome because the play head is stopped. So, how would you show an object after a certain period of time or with an effect when you still need to pause a slide? How to accomplish both a pause and delay or effect when an object appears? Shouldn't this kind of pause (necessary when you want to wait for an interaction before proceeding to the next slide) be the default or at least handled by setting a property of the slide master or some way that doesn't require a manual intervention?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    There are several possibilities to pause a slide. The easiest one is to use an interactive object: button, shape button, click box or Text Entry Box. They all can have a pausing point (visible in the Timing Properties panel). The timeline is the core of Captivate, where you can time objects to appear later than the start of the slide. Your question is very basic and very vague at the same time. You are talking about 'an effect'... are you pointing at the Effects that can be applied to an object? Those effects have their proper timeline.
    Try to avoid the simple action 'Pause' at the Exit event of a slide, it will stop the movie at the first frame of the next slide which is not what you want. Only for very specific situations do you need to pause with an advanced/shared action. I don't know why you think it has to be done so often?
    This is an old blog post about the timeline, although the screenshots will not be totally the same, most is still valid: Tiny Timeline Tidbits - Captivate blog
    You talk about master slides: if you want to create a custom navigation with buttons, you have to know that only shape buttons can be used on master slides. If the shape button is set to pause, it will always pause at the end of each slide, whatever its duration. Because on master slides you cannot time anything. Why I like Shape Buttons - Captivate 6! - Captivate blog  explains some use cases for shape buttons.
