Incorrect/correct captions appearing behind question text in CP5

Hi, the correct and incorrect captions are appearing behind the question text. I cannot find a place/setting to bring these captions to the front?
help appreciated
thanks
Gav

Hi Gav,
I tried in a project with multiple choice Questions and I am not able to reproduce the issue with Correct/Incorrect captions. But I am able to reproduce the issue with 'Retry Caption'. Can you please confirm whether it’s happening for retry caption or for Correct/Incorrect captions? If it is happening for Correct/Incorrect captions please the share the Information.
1. Which 'Caption Type’ is selected for 'Correct/Incorrect ' captions
2. The Question Slide is attached with some Master Slide? or the background image is directly applied to the Question slide?
Thanks,
nsukumar.

Partial correct caption displaying text from Success caption

Hi, as the title of my post suggests the Partial correct caption is displaying the text from my Success caption. To my knowledge I have correctly configured these in Quiz > Quiz Preferences > Default Labels with all fields having unique text entered in to them.
I'm using Captivate 7 and am working on a master slide for my MCQs within a project template file. I intend to allow multiple options to be selected in the MCQ, hence the need for a partially correct answer.
Has anyone else had this issue, if so did you manage to get around it and how?
Thanks.

Hi Lilybiri, thanks for replying.
I'm setting up my MCQ master slide and have edited the labels in Quiz > Quiz Preferences > Default Labels, then I've added the captions to the page via Quiz > Question Placeholder Objects.

I downloaded the pages application, to be used like " word", but I can't get if I can use it also to revise documents ....so as to make corrections and they appear on the text. thanks for the help

Why repeat the question in the description area? That provides no more information than just leaving the description area blank.
Yes you can edit documents in Pages. What can you not figure out that you want to do? Have you transfered a document to the iPad and opened it in Pages and tried to edit it?

What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window but in other cases, both the label and caption appear in the context help window?

I am trying to polish an application, and find that I cannot seem to reliably control which of the label or caption text appears in the context help window because I don't understand what rules are in place to determine which should appear. It seems like if I reate a named constant, then use it's right click menu command "Create Indicator" I get a control with only a Label (as long as I don't add a caption). This then appears in the context help window as the label name followed by the description text (after entering some description text). But if I add a caption, the label name is shown in bracket
s which is a 'feature' I would like to avoid, because I have certain controls where I would like to use a descriptive variable name on the block diagram side without using so much space on the front panel. It seems like there is no way to avoid showing the Label name in the context help for a control/indicator. Is this true?
I thought the purpose of having a seperate caption was to make the text that appears with a control programmatically controllable, but if that control is not extended to what appears in the context help window, it limits the usefulness of the caption and forces me to re-consider some Label names. However, the problem goes deeper than that because then even when I make the label and caption exactly the same, or if I delete (via a select caption text-backspace or select caption text- delete key .. sequence) the caption for a control, the label name in the context help window still appears in square brackets!
Can I have complete control over the context help fo
r a particular control (or has anyone found a third-party context help solution that functions compatibly with LabVIEW 7 in a built application that they will be so kind as to recommend?)
I have used LabVIEW for three years, and I am now using LabVIEW 7.0.

Sorry for that.. I was changing the text of my question and didn't read carefully enough in the preview stage. I wanted it to read "What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window?"

The dropdown menu in the banner should be behind the text fields.

Hi Andy,
In our Application we have three Menus...The problem we are facing in that when ever we move the cursor, a drop down list will appear.. which is covering the text fields...
The dropdown menu in the banner should be behind the text fields.
Can u pls help me in this...
anoo..

Hi Anoo,
(You can actually ask questions to everyone, not just me!)
Normally, dropdown menus are supposed to be on top of all other items, so the user can pick an option from the menu. In fact, usually the problem is that select lists in IE appear on top of menus, not the other way around!
What you may have to look in to is adding a z-index value to items. Have a look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms531188(VS.85).aspx
z-indexes determine the order in which items appear when two or more occupy the same space on the page. The higher the number the nearer to the top that item is. You can use negative or positive numbers. So, if item A has a z-index of 1 and item B has a z-index of 2, then item B will appear on top of item A.
A z-index can be set as a style on your menus:
<........ style="z-index:-1".....>Andy

FontAwesome appears as question marks in FrameMaker 12. I installed the font in the Windows/Fonts folder. Do I need to do something else to get it to work in FM?

I need to update our fonts/templates to Font Awesome. I downloaded and installed the font in the Windows/Fonts folder.
The font appears as question marks (????) in place of the text in FrameMaker 12.
The font appears correctly in other applications, such as Microsoft Word and Outlook.
I tried this with both FontAwesome.otf and fontawesome-webfont.ttf.
Do I need to do something else to get this font to work in FM?
Thanks-
Stephanie

Well, if it's any consolation, it does the ????? thing (complete with bad font metrics for the question marks) in FM9, too.
I'm tempted to blame the font, but it could also be that FM is confused by things that shouldn't be where they are. You'll notice that some of the glyphs aren't given descriptive names in Character Palette.
For example, code points U+0000 through U+001F. Those are supposed to be the C0 Controls in Unicode, and not displayable glyphs.
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf
Ditto for U+0080 through U+009F, which are the C1 Controls:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf
The glyphs at these code points should either be in standard Unicode positions (where the glyph is covered by Unicode, such as that left pointing triangle at U+0011, which might have been the same thing as defined by Unicode at U+25C0 or 23F4) or in some Private Use area.

A Verizon cellphone tower in my area is feeding multiple Verizon Customers / Devices with the incorrect time (one hour behind) when we are in range of this tower

A Verizon cellphone tower in my area is feeding multiple Verizon Customers / Devices with the incorrect time (one hour behind) when we are in range of this tower (in this specific area). Our phones show the correct time in other areas. Is there a way to fix or report this?

The zip code that this is occurring in is: 87102
Specifically when I am at
1001 Woodward Pl NE
Albuquerque, NM 87102
Upon further investigation, it is happening to anyone with a Verizon handset, regardless of specific device. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and my co-worker has a Motorola Droid Turbo and we are both having the issue. Anyone on a different carrier (T-Mobile, AT&T) is fine, and is not experiencing this issue.
It actually looks like the cell tower is feeding us the correct time, but its like it forgot daylight savings happened. So it is feeding us the incorrect time zone/day light savings information.
When I goto Settings -> Date and Time on my Android device, I have both "Automatic date and time" and "Automatic time zone" checked.
the "Automatic timezone" it is pulling from the Verizon cell tower is "Mountain -7". It is correct that we are in the "Mountain" timezone, but we are currently "Mountain -6" (also known as day light savings). So the Cell Tower things it MST when it should be MST DST
When I uncheck "Automatic time zone" and select my own, suddenly it lets me select "Mountain -6" and doesn't even give me the option of "Mountain -7".
So in conclusion, some cell tower in the area of zip code 87102 forgot that daylight savings ever happened, and is telling cellphones they are in the "Mountain -7" timezone, instead of the correct current timezone of "Mountain -6 DST"
Edit: Oh, sorry, and to answer your question, it began happening about 3 weeks ago. We started noticing around March 25th, maybe a little after that.

Rollover - make highlight and caption appear

I'm creating a screenshot tour of our application, and I want
to allow the user to hover over different areas of the screen --
which then produces a highlight box that greys out the rest of the
screen and a text caption appears with information about that area.
I've tried using the rollover caption, but the highlight box
appears at all times instead of on rollover.
Has anyone found a way to do this?
Thanks,
Heather

I know this is an older question but this may help. I liked
the answer Captiv8r gave and it gave me an idea. The main issue is
not only the rollover but the hightlight box.
The problem I see is a highlight box will appear by the time
line but the rollover by the mouse. I don't see how they would ever
work together predictably.
I took a cue from the example and I created an image that had
part of the screen with areas grayed out and the text. I created
two images and combined them into one and made that image the
rollover. It looked pretty good for a quick version.
The problem I have had in doing this is to have rollovers for
an entire computer screen can be too much for one slide. That is
why I have always used multiple slides of the same screen and let
the user navigate over them to learn the complete screen.

Several click boxes on screen but only one failure caption appearing

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 6 and I have 3 click boxes on one slide. I have set each click box to have a Failure caption however, only the failure caption of the click box in the top position of the timeline appears in the course.
Ideally I want all 3 captions to appear at once if the user fails to click in any of the correct areas.
Do anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Liam

Hi Liam
One way I can fathom would be to create a blank slide. Insert three text captions that present the text you wish to see and arrange them so they "work" aesthetically. Then preview the project and screen capture. Then configure the background as transparent and save the image. Use this image as the Failure caption for that top level Click Box object.
Cheers... Rick

Appearing numbers without text at index

Hello,
i have an auto generated index for fm 9, some textless page numbers (i see them below also correct) keep appearing as symbols
this is the first time i meet markers with start and end range,
but i wonder if something is wrong and if i can do anything about that...
Thanks,
Elena

Open the Marker window and then use the hypertext (hold down ctrl+alt and click on the page numbers) in the index to jump to these no text index entires. Inspect the contents shown in the Marker window and edit (or delete) accordingly.
Every startrange index entry must have a corresponding endrange. The spelling of the terms must be identical and FM is case sensitive. See FM9 help for more details: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/9.0/Using/WSd817046a44e105e21e63e3d11ab7f7561e-7fae .html#WSd817046a44e105e21e63e3d11ab7f7960b-7ec4

Spry Vertical Submenu Bar Appears Behind iFrame

In IE and Chrome, the Spry vertical submenu bar appears properly on every page of the website, except for the one page that has iframes.
In IE, the submenus appear behind the iFrames
In Chrome, the submenus appear in front of the iFrames but with an incomplete border
In Firefox and Safari, the submenus appear as they should (in front of the iframes and with a complete border)
I've scoured this forum and tried several fixes that seemed to work for others with slightly different conditions but didn't work for mine.
I've included my SpryMenuBarVertical.css for referece; if you can offer a fix for this particular issue, I'd be forever grateful. Thank you!

Some math elements appear as question marks in equations - FM9/Win7Pro

Hello everyone,
I am facing the issue that some math elements appear as question marks in equations; for example, the summation and angle symbols.
The approximately equal or the alpha symbols, for example, appear correctly.
The symbol font is installed.
System specs:
FrameMaker 9 with the latest patches installed.
Windows 7 Professional with the latest updates installed.
The strange thing is that math elements appear correctly using virtual computers on my computer (Windows XP and Windows 7 Ultimate on VMWare).
Same maker.ini file and fonts are present on all (real and virtual) computers.
I have reinstalled FrameMaker already on my real computer (where I have the trouble) and it did not solve the issue.
I have checked (I think) all question mark related topics (when question marks are displayed instead of the correct characters) on this site, but none of them provided the solution to my problem.
I would appreciate your help!
Thanks,
András

Hi Sheila,
Thank you for your response.
I use Adobe PDF as the default printer on both the real and virtual computers and I do not know the SetPrint utility.
I see the question marks appear in the FM files as well as in the printed PDF. It makes me think it is not a printing issue.
c:\windows\fonts is provided as the Font Source in the Embedding box for the Adobe PDF printer both on my real computer and my virtual one.
The SymbolMT font is listed in both cases in the Embedding box, which is (probably) referred to as Symbol Regular when I open the c:\windows\fonts folder using Windows Explorer. No other symbol fonts seem to be installed in this folder. I do not know how to check what other folders FM considers.
By the way, I can insert the summation character, for example, as a simple character using the Equations editor correctly, the problem comes when I try to insert it as a math element.
I have attached an example screenshot.
Thanks,
András

Fireworks Menu Appearing Behind Content

Hi All
I have an existing website built in Macromedia Studio 8. I would like to upgrade to Web Premium CS5.5. As a result, I am currently using a trial version which has helped me to redesign the whole website. I am not proficient in code writing and have a basis understanding of the software. (That is why I am testing the trial version first). However, I an faced with TWO problems.
The first is, although my templates were built using one of Adobe's page layout formats (then customised), some of the pages are no longer centred.
The second is, I have created menu's in both Fireworks (Studio 8 then edited in Fireworks CS5.1 creative suite master collection and saved) and Spry (in Dreamweaver CS5.5) - which have now caused the menus to appear behind content on some of the pages.
I have tried to use the pages which look fine in the browser as templates but, sadly, when the content is changed/added to, the menu appears behind again.
I would appreciate any help.
S
P.S.I can't publish a link as I am using a trial version of the software at present.

ListView appearing behind other graphical components in VBox

I have created a ListView implementation of a ChoiceBox since I have a very long list of items and I don't like the fact that the entire list is displayed when opening the ChoiceBox. I have attached this ListView to a button so that when a user clicks on the button the ListView opens just like a ChoiceBox. My issue, however, is that when the ListView is diplayed it appears behind the other graphical components in my VBox container! I have tried to call "toFront()" on my ListView component however the VBox repositions my ListView component to the bottom of the VBox (which makes sense since toFront merely moves the node to the end of the VBox node list). Obviously this is not the behaviour I want and I don't want to have to convert my VBox to a StackPane (or just a Pane) and layout the components myself since the VBox lays out the components perfectly. It would be nice if there were a "z order" parameter but that doesn't appear to be the case and I have already looked into the "depth" parameter.
Are there any other ways to bring my ListView to the front without the VBox repositioning this component? How does the ChoiceBox component itself accomplish this? I have also tried to embed the ListView in a PopupControl but the unfortunate side effect of this is that the Popup always appears in front of EVERY window on my screen which is a tad annoying.
BTW, I think JavaFX is the next best thing to sliced bread! I have written a very large application and this is the only issue that I have run into since it went GA. JavaFX has far exceeded my expectations and the JavaFX team (and Oracle in general) and other developers who have contributed to this project should all be commended for the outstanding work they have done on this!!!

The reason why is that if you use "lightweight" rendering of the drop down (er... popup?) and it extends beyond the end of the window, you will have your list appear clipped. So you have to use a real heavyweight window (the PopupControl) to make sure that if it extends beyond the edge of the window, it displays correctly.
I believe the UI controls team is planning on adding a proper ComboBox (which, FWIW, we always planned to add) sometime between now and 3.0, but I'm not sure when. The ChoiceBox actually uses a ContextMenu, while ComboBox would use PopupControl, but some of the little details are the same. Here is a code snippet that might be useful from the ChoiceBox skin.
        // When popup is hidden by autohide - the ChoiceBox Showing property needs
        // to be updated. So we listen to when autohide happens. Calling hide()
        // there after causes Showing to be set to false
        popup.setOnAutoHide(new EventHandler<Event>() {
            @Override public void handle(Event event) {
                ((ChoiceBox)getSkinnable()).hide();
        // fix RT-14469 : When tab shifts ChoiceBox focus to another control,
        // its popup should hide.
        getSkinnable().focusedProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Boolean>() {
            @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> observable, Boolean oldValue, Boolean newValue) {
                if (!newValue) {
                    ((ChoiceBox)getSkinnable()).hide();
        // TODO remove this id once bug RT-7542 is fixed.
        popup.setId("choice-box-popup-menu");
