I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
I don't want to disable portrait mode.
Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

Combining scored interactions and questions - navigation settings

I'm trying to get to grips with the way the Preferences > Quiz > Settings > Requried options work when my quiz combines both scored interactive objects and questions.
I'm currently using Cp4 but would be interested to know if Cp5 behaves the same.
Am I right in thinking that the effects of the different options are:
Optional
The learner can scrub back and forth with the playbar as much as they like without restrictions.
Required
The learner can scrub back and forth without restriction, but only up to the last slide with a scored interaction or question. To get further into the lesson they have to click any one of the previous scored interations, or submit a single question answer (wrong or right).
Pass Requried
I couldn't figure this out at all! I set a pass score, had a load of scored interactions and questions, but the learner could scrub right through the slides with scored interactions into later slides that weren't scored. Ah well, good job I'll be using the LMS to manage pass/fail
Edit: Oh, it looks like this only comes into play if I select 'show score at end of quiz' - you can only ontinue past the results page if you achieve the pass score.
Answer all
Learner can scrub to the end of any slide with a scored interaction or question, but to get to the next slide must either click the interaction or submit an answer (right or wrong). And if the next slide also has a scored object, repeat. Once they've 'unlocked' a slide they can scrub out and back into it in the same session.
Any observations on that?
Obviously learners won't be able to scrub back if backward movement/review is disallowed.
Incidentally, I did notice that the point Cp locks the slide seems on 'answer all' to have some very odd properties. If I removed the pause from the click box, or the learner clicks play at the pause, then it carries on into a kind of phantom frame - with no captions or slide background - but the click box still works, if you know where on the screen to aim for!
Does anyone know a way to modify that locking frame to provide some info for the learner on what they need to do to progress?
Thanks

Hi BrightonJon
For the back movement there is an additional field. "Allow Back Movement" (or close to that)
Required only mentions that you cannot skip until you have answered
Pass Required means that you have to answer it correct to continue
These are about single questions.
A locking frame often happens at strange places. I have it most often using advanced actions.

Interactive pictures question

If you look at the free iBook "Life on Earth" that's in the new textbook section of the bookstore, you will find that when you tap pictures or do a two finger spread, they enlarge to full screen mode. Is this some special widget that the publisher has or can you do this with iBooks Author's standard widgets? After a lot of searching on the internet, I discovered that you can get pictures to enlarge with a tap by selecting the picture and then in the Widget Inspector clicking the title selection under layout followed by clicking the Full screen only selection under Interactive. This essentially turns the selected picture into a one picture gallery to which you can add a caption if so desired. If you do this, the picture will enlarge to its full size when taped on your ipad. However, this does not do the two finger spread enlargement mentioned above. You can enlarge the image by spreading your fingers on the iPad screen, but as soon as you remove your fingers the picture pops back to it's original size on the page. In "Life on Earth" it will stay at its enlarged size when you remove your fingers.
And yes, I have looked at Publishing with iBooks Author, but have not been able to find anything about the question above.
Thanks for any insight.

As KT said, it is a gallery widget, and thats how they work (2 finger launchs full screen)
single image with caption and "full screen only" selected, a tap lauches full screen and the 2 finger spread justs inlarges the whole page/image untill let go and it snaps back. (I have Accessibility off)
if single image not set to "full screen only", the 2 finger spread launches full screen (just like the gallery widget)

Hi,
Sory, but I'm still not sure, how ADF comunicates with BPM (I know that it uses EJB services and hwtaskflow.xml). But a still don't have an answers for follwowing questions:
1) I know ADF quite good. Having method in data controls (in our case getTaskDetails()) we need to invoke it somehow. I don't see anywher invokation of this method.
2) In generated task flow there is some managed beans and params - what is role of them ? Having over 50 task flows , do I need it in all of them. Where can I find description of those beans and params
3) In our approach we use BPM , ADF RC for UI and Business Components to persist data into database. Only data from payload we need is ID of master-level row. My question is - do I have to generate data controls for all human task ?. In my my opinion it should be only one communication point between BPM and ADF but not the same for all pair human task --> task flow.
All infomation I need from BPM is:
- task ID
- task flow name (to open apriopriate tab in my application)
- available outcomes
- to know is BPM operation is enabled

Interactive swf question

hello forumers.
im exporting an swf file from indesign,and id like to know why indesign or the swf generates an empty blank left hand page.?
and when im making a pdf file,everything seems a bit buckled and pixelated although my images are 300dpi
thank you.

Hi
First - There is nothing stopping you continuing to use swf's with html5 as the object/embed code used is still valid and recognised by html5.
Second - You are probably asking this question due to the fact that the iPhone/iPad does not allow flash content. Unfortunately there is no way to get flash to play on these devices, (at the moment, but this could / probably will change). To use interactive graphics on these devices requires the use of the canvas element and javascript, but unfortunately the canvas element are not usable on current versions of IE, (IE9 does allow them).
There is a javascript fix that will allow the use of canvas on IE versions prior to IE9 but I cannot recommend its use due to its speed of rendering except for very simple animations, (and I do mean very simple).
The general opinion of most designers/developers appears to be that unless your target audience is the iPhone/iPad, then continue to use swf's for such items for the next few years at least, after all, the purchasers of the iPhone/iPad did buy these devices, (in most cases) knowing that they could not render flash.

Materialized View and Ord Media questions

Hey Guys,
My first question is on the use and creation of materialized views which i have previously done using TOAD. The question that i have is where/if can i visually see the constraints that are on a materialized view and where is the information for "next refresh" times placed?
Question two is about viewing informaiton on ord media objects that are stored. Previously, i had the ability to double click one of these elememts in the data view and see the information related to that instance of the ord media object, but the SQL developer does not seem to have this ability??
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Kris,
The reason that i asked about the constraints on MV is because when you create a materialized view over a db link with primary key, it will place a not null constraint on every column. This is obviously no good because some rows are bound to contain nulls and these need to be removed and updated before it will work!
As for the ord objects, it just makes it a little easier for testing to see what they are :).
Anyway, its looking great and i hope these features will be in the next release?
Cheers David

Relinking media question

Hi everyone,
I am using CS3
I have a question about relinking media. I have some MXF files, which are quite long (going on for 2 hours) (these were captured on a Sony EX3 camera). There are 4 mono audio tracks associated with each video file. Although CS3 works with these files it is generally quite slow, and I was planning to render them to a native format (Matrox HD) and relink the assets. The render works fine, but I am only able to export the AVI file with stereo audio or no audio (these are the only options within Premiere). When I try to relink the asset, it won't do it, as the audio componet is different. Is there any way to force Premiere into accepting it with or without audio (I am using a remixed audio on separate channel so the camera audio is irrelevant). Or anyway to export 4 channels of audio (which I can then mute if necessary)
Many thanks in anticipation.
Daniel

Hi,
I'm presuming that you mean that you don't think it's possible?

Using the Creative Cloud to Create Interactive Media Websites

Can the Creative Cloud Easily allow me to create an interactive website that allows me to post video and articles that can be share by users to Facebook, Twitter etc and also allow them to login and make comments on my posted media.

Adobe Dreamweaver and Adobe Fireworks are two programs available with a Creative Cloud membership that are used to create and edit webpages. Although there is no "easy" way to create an interactive website, these programs provide the capabilities to do so.
Dreamwaver requires some knowledge of web coding. Lynda.com offers an excellent series of videos on Dreamweaver CS essential training.
Fireworks is another web design program that does not require knowledge of coding. Lynda.com also has a series of training videos for Fireworks.

Interactive Popup Questions when entering data

Hi
I created an interactive document for work where the processor has to enter a dollar amount in a text field. Is there a way to create the form so when the processor enters the amount, a question pops up to ask "Are you sure this is the correct amount? I am trying to find a way to have the user have to confirm the amount. I really apprecate your help if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Try67.
I was hoping I might be able to bug you with one more question. Another community memeber sent me thecode below that will actually put the dollar amount in the Pop Up Question which my boss prefers. The only problem is I have a reset button and when I click the reset button, t makes the Pop Up Question pop up again with a blank amount. When I use your code, I do not have the reset button problem.
It is odd because I tried to ask this person if there was a solution but when I click on View Original Discussion in the email from him, it states it was deleted. Here is his answer:
A good event for this is the Validate event of the text field. You can use the app.alert method to ask the question, and based on the response, either accept or reject the value. For example:
var sMsg = "You entered: " + event.value + "\r\rAre you sure this is the correct amount?";
var resp = app.alert({cMsg: sMsg, nIcon: 2, nType: 2, cTitle: "Verify amount"});
// Reject the entry if user doesn't select Yes
if (resp !== 4) event.rc = false;
Again, sorry to bug you but grateful if you have a solution.
Jeff

Omni10 recovery media question

I installed a 64 gb micro SD and everything was great till I turned on the option to automatically save files to that drive. The card became corrupt and I can't turn off the save feature.
How fluid is the recovery media that came with my tablet? My tables is running GREAT with the exception listed above and don't want to mess things up if there are known problems with the recovery media supplied with my tablet. Any advice from folks that have used the SD recovery card that came with the Omni 10?
Positive or negative please!

Well, I got no takers to my question, but the D drive became available again after putting a 32gb SD card in and rebooting. I had copied my can't live without files, photos and movies to that card before putting it in the bay. At first the tablet did not recognize the drive, but the reboot fixed that. I won't have to run the recovery disk and my really cool Omni 10 tablet is back up to par.

Recovery media question about Vista

I ordered my T400 with Vista Ultimate x86 installed. I am wanting to install the x64 version now. I know I will have to do a clean install but I want to know if I have an option to install the x64 version off of the media that it creates for me? If it does not what is a good way to do this?

kofs, welcome to the forum,
the media you wil be able to create from an x86 install will be x86 recovery media, no x64 will be present. I hope this thread offers you a possible solution.

Server Sizing for Flash Interactive Media 3

Hello,
I can't get anyone in sales to answer this question. Specs
say any Windows 2003 32bit OS and recommends 4MB RAM. But I would
like to put a powerful server dedicated to this function but don't
know if this software is capable of Hyperthreading. I can have one
or come CPU's all with multiple cores. Likewise I could install
Windows 2003 Enterprise Server and put in a lot more memory.
Obviously I don't want to throw money into processors,
Enterprise OS or more RAM if this software won't take advantage of
it.
Any help?
Thank you?
Text

Okay here is an answer to my own post based upon what I've
learned.
A single License of FIM3 will handle up to (2) physical
processors limited to Dual Core. You cannot use (2) CPU's with Quad
Core processors, this would require an additional server license on
the same physical server.
FIM3 was also designed to minimize memory use. 4GB is
recommended but 8GB RAM is preferred. The later of course will
require an upgrade to Windows 2003 OS Enterprise Version.
My configuration below on a single server will handle
streaming up to 1000 concurrent users with no problem.
Dell 2950 2U rack mount
(2) Dual Core Intel Xeon 3.0's with 4MB cache each. 1333Mhz
Buss.
Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Version, 32bit.
8GB DDR2 ECC Fully buffered RAM, 677Mhz.
(4) 300GB 15k SAS hard drives in RAID 10 configuration (600GB
effective use).
Hope this helps all who search for server specs.

GP and WD with Adobe Interactive form question - need some guidance.

Hello experts,
FYI, I'm running ECC 5.0 Support Stack 9, EP 7.0 SPS 11, NWDS 2.0.9_15 with Adobe Livecyle Designer.
I am slightly stuck with what I'm trying to do. I have created a web dynpro application that has an Adobe interactive form. I'm trying to use guided procedures to initiate a process so that this interactive form can be filled out and submitted to an approver. I need the relevant parties to receive a notification email. I have setup email templates and services, I just need to know how it will fit into the process. Once approved in the process, a BAPI should be invoked to populate some fields in the form. Should I be creating the Web Dynpro application to invoke the bapi or should a guided procedure callable object invoke the bapi? I know how to do these things, but I dont know which method I should use, in order to correctly have this process flow from point A - point B. Should the process appear in the Universal Worklist? If not, why not? Will it only appear in the GP runtime? I have pretty much read thru most of the tutorials but still cannot get this GP stuff to work as a WHOLE process.
Any guidance, suggestions, possible solutions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kunal.

Hi,
It seems you have not activated the Composite Form object. Only after activation you will be able to use it to create a Callable Object of type composite form.
Hope this helps,
Ashutosh
