Interactive widgets and pausing the timeline

I'd like to create an Interactive type widget that pauses at
the end of its time on the timeline like a click box does, but as
far as I can tell, any widget that returns true for isInteractive()
is going to automatically pause the Captivate movie near the
beginning of the widget's time on the timeline.
Am I missing a setting, variable or function that affects
pausing? "Pause for failure/success" doesn't seem to have any
effect, and I can't find anything in the widget documentation that
mentions the pausing behavior.

I found the setting. It's the "Pause after" field in the
Widget dialog box on the Options tab. Don't know how I missed that.
However, I'd still be interested to know if there's a way to
set this value from within the widget.

Adobe Captivate 6 - Interactive Widgets and Resume Playing Timeline?!

Hello! I am using Adobe Captivate 6 to work on several training projects and the slides where I have inserted interactive widgets (such as accordion theme), along with the normal text to speech and timed text boxes, when I go to publish in either html or swf those particular slides pause the whole presentation/training. Unlike the other slides that continue/play the timeline when entered these particular slides (with interactive widgets) do not do the same and pause the presentation (you have to press the play button on the menu bar to continue with narrative and I'm trying to have it play automatically). Does anyone know how I may go about having these particular slides not pause the presentation and continue playing the timeline. I've exhausted all measures and need help. Thank you.

In Captivate 6, all learning interactions (accordions is not an interactive
widget at all) were pausing the slide at the first frame, sorry. That has
changed later. In 7 and present version, most learning interactions do not pause at all (with the exception of some games), you have to pause yourself to allow time for the interaction.
Have some workarounds, but none for what you want. Keep the interactions on a separate slide is the only recommendation I can offer.
As for my first remark about Accordions not being an interactive widget, last night I tried to explain some concepts of the interactions to another user in this thread: Tracking Learning Interactions

Pausing the timeline on Press

Hi, I found many similar topics, but nothing like this. For a
project I am working on I want to be able to click on a movieclip
and pause the _root timeline until another movie clip is pressed
which will resume playing the movie. I was hoping this would be as
simple as a Stop and PLay function but i know its much more
complex. Could someone please help me with this code. It would be
greatly appreaciated. AS2 please as I am not accustom to AS3 and
the project is AS2.
Thanks alot,

Actually, it's not much more complex than you are hoping.
What have you tried?

Hi, I've just downloaded the latest release 10.1.1 and now I do not see any more correctly my clips either in the canvas and in the timeline. Playing clips, they now appears with garbled images, completely unstables: I can not editing in these conditions!

Hi Russ, Thank you for your reply!
System Spec:
2x2.26 Ghz QUAD-CORE
12 GB RAM 1066 MHz DDR3
I've stored the library in HARD DISK which is installed inside my computer (1 TB capacity) and different from my hard disk in which I've installed all my applications (600 GB capacity).
I've installed FCP since 2001, bought FCP X in 2012: never had a problem. Yesterday I was editing my video of my last vacations (in California!) and I have updated FCP X, downloading FCP X 10.1.1: then the problem!
Strange is the fact that I've just tried to export a short project, I can see the final product quite well.
What is impossible is playing the clips within Final Cut: they are jumpimg, moving, presenting some frame in green or red ...
Everything all right in iMovie.
I've just checked the RAM: 9GB out of 12 GB is busy, could this be the problem?
Motion is very slow: for 20 sec of project, it takes minutes to play. And once again, if you finalize the projet and export it in Quicktime, you can see it correctly.
I do hope you may suggest something, I'm getting crazy!
Thank you in adavance

ITunes radio starts playing after I check email. What can I do to stop that from happening. It is a nuisance to open iTunes and pause the song playing.

On my iPhone 5c, after I check email or other apps not related to phone use, frequently iTunes radio starts playing. I have learned to open app and pause the song being played. Is there a way to not have that happen?

HI,
Most likely this is the server end and may improve on changing ports

How do i pause the timeline cursor at the point where i press the spacebar

Right now the cursor always goes to the start of the timeline after i press the spacebar.

You have received 40 or so views in less than an hour. Sometimes it takes days for other suers to drop by and your post is arriving during the start of a long holiday weekend in the Sates so it might not be till next week befor someone who really knows how to answer this shows up. Your post is being viewed by people who want to know if you are serious but have no help to offer. Woudl you rather they posted nonsense? I have never had AE jumpt back to the start of the timeline and posting that information does not help you. I can assume you have a some sort of pref incorrectly set or your keyboard has been tweaked at the OS level to interpret a spacebar in AE as a Media Start command.
From the AE help system:
To modify keyboard shortcuts, use the KeyEd Up script from Jeff Almasol, which is available on the Adobe After Effects Exchange website.
Sebastien Perier provides instructions on his website for assigning keyboard shortcuts to scripts so that you can run a script with a single keystroke. This technique relies on the KeyEd Up script.
For information on remapping keyboard shortcuts for keyboard layouts other than the standard US English layout, see Jonas Hummelstrand’s website.
For a reference of keyboard shortcuts, see Keyboard shortcuts reference.
Note: On Mac OS, some keyboard commands for interacting with the operating system conflict with keyboard commands for interacting with After Effects. Select Use System Shortcut Keys in the General preferences to override the After Effects keyboard command in some cases in which there’s a conflict with the Mac OS keyboard command.

At a Genius Bar appointment yesterday, we determined that I needed to go to Mountain Lion from Lion. I purchased Mountain Lion at the Bar, and paused the install so that I could resume from home. Now I can't find it to resume. Not in Downloads. ?????

When I upgraded to Lion, my Parallels stopped working and I got a Bootcamp error message. It had worked fine for the prior year. I upgraded to Parallels 7. No luck. At the Genius Bar, the Genius uninstalled Bootcamp. No luck. I still get "The Boot Camp partition /dev/diskOs4 used by Hard Drive 1 is missing."
Another Genius suggested upgrading to Mountain Lion. While at the Bar, I purchased Mountain Lion and then we paused the install so that I could resume it at home. Once I got home, I can't find the Mountain Lion installer to resume. It's not in the Downloads file. Any clue?
My business programs all run on Windows, so I have to get it operating. The Genius Bar isn't much help. Does anyone know how to get Mountain Lion installed? How to get Parallels working?

The "Geniuses" (and I use that word in sarcasm) at the Bar are lying to you. Upgrading from Lion to Mt Lion will not fix whatever problems you are having. In fact it will most likely make them worse.
If you want to try installing Mt Lion to fix the problems you are having you will need to open the Mac App Store link in your Dock, Login to your Apple ID account for the MAS and go to your Purchases area. Mt Lion should be in there and you will be able to do a proper download. Once you either set your Mac into sleep or shut down and then left the internet connection at the Bar all record of that download was lost. So you will need to restart it again from the beginning, like described above.
Good Luck

How to create a button in a interactive document and use the button to launch and external "exe." file.

I created an interactive document and will export as a swf. I would like to create a button in the interactive document to launch and external "exe." file. Is this possible.

You will need to create custom web part editor. Look at the following example. It also have added button and its events. I am sure you can use this sample as base and code your logic.

How do I get a smartshape button that open the TOC and pause the project when it is selected?

Please help! I created a smartshape button and assigned it the action of making the table of contents visible when clicked. However, now I also need the project to pause when the TOC button is clicked. Can someone please guide in as to what I need to do? Thanks

Hi,
Please follow the below steps.
1) Create an advanced action with the action "Show TOC"
2) Insert a smart shape and use it as button
3) Execute the advanced action on success of the shape button.
In the published output, movie will not continue on clicking the shape. Please let me know if it solves your issue.

Lost much of audio and then the timeline

Working on my second three hour DVD in a set of three. I was very nearly completed with the PP portion with maybe 10 minutes work left when I decided to cash in my chips and head to bed. When I came in this morning, started PP and loaded my project about half the audio was missing. Ah - no problem I thought. PP must have loaded incorrectly. So I closed the project without saving, closed PP and restarted then reloaded my project. Now - I have no timeline. All of my clips, titles and voice overs are present but I have no timeline.

Pausing the timeline

I am using this script in the first frame that needs to be
paused:
stop();
var theTimer:Timer=new Timer(4000);
theTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerNx);
theTimer.start();
function timerNx(e:TimerEvent):void{
play();
theTimer.reset();
In the subsequent frames that need to paused I am using this
script:
stop();
theTimer.start();
This works fine as long as I don't need to pause longer than
4 secs each. However, each frame that has a pause may need to be a
different amount of time. How do I go about doing this without
confusing the heck out of myself?

Yes, that is what I am looking for, to set the increment as I
go along. I shall try this. I wish I could wrap my mind around
Actionscript as well as you. I'm a designer and so therefore, quite
prone to looking at this coding as some alien language. I'm hoping
with enough practice, I will be able to get the hang of it
eventually. Thanks!

AS3 play and pause timeline as well as soundchannels

I am trying to make global playback control buttons to play & pause the timeline as well as the sound channels. I have managed to get the buttons to function correctly with controlling the timeline but I need them to also work with the soundchannels too.
Here is the code I created for the buttons:
btnStop.visible = true;
btnPlay.visible = false;
var movieclip:MovieClip;
function stopMovieClip(mc:MovieClip):void{
mc.stop();
for (var i:int = 0; i < mc.numChildren; i++)
var mcChild = mc.getChildAt(i);
if (mcChild is MovieClip) stopMovieClip(mcChild);
btnPlay.visible = true;
btnStop.visible = false;
function playMovieClip(mcPlaying:MovieClip):void{
mcPlaying.play();
for (var j:int = 0; j < mcPlaying.numChildren; j++)
var mcPlay = mcPlaying.getChildAt(j);
if (mcPlay is MovieClip) playMovieClip(mcPlay);
btnStop.visible = true;
btnPlay.visible = false;
btnStop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopAll);
function stopAll(event:MouseEvent):void
stopMovieClip(con);
btnPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, PlayMC);
function PlayMC(event:MouseEvent):void
playMovieClip(con);
And the code for the soundchannels:
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
var strokeVOSound:strokeVO = new strokeVO();
var strokeVOChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var bleedVOSound:bleedVO = new bleedVO();
var bleedVOChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
yellow_mc.visible=false;
blue_mc.visible=false;
strokebtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displayStroke);
strokebtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
function displayStroke(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace ('Clicked')
yellow_mc.visible=true;
blue_mc.visible=false;
bleedVOChannel.stop();
strokeVOChannel = strokeVOSound.play();
bleedbtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displaybleed);
bleedbtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
function displaybleed(e:MouseEvent):void {
yellow_mc.visible=false;
blue_mc.visible=true;
trace ('Clicked')
strokeVOChannel.stop();
bleedVOChannel = bleedVOSound.play();
The soundchannels are triggered by a movieclip which acts as a button.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

For the two soundchannel sounds you have, you will need to keep track if and which one is playing so that you can use some logic to stop the sound right after you mark where the sound was (position) so that you can resume playing it again when the play button is selected.
So if the stroke sound is started, you could assign a boolean variable named something like 'strokeplaying' to be true (setting the other sounds similar boolean false). Then, in your pause function you would test to see if strokeplaying is true and if it is, store the position property and stop the channel playing.
When play is selected, similarly, you test if that sound is true and if so you restart it using the position value you stored as the starting point. You do the same for the other sound... remembering that it is possible neither is playing when pause it clicked.
