Is there a project size limit for Captivate 3?

Hello,
I'm using Captivate 3 and building a project that is currently approximately 19,200 KB. I don't know if that's too large but as I continue to build, it seems to be acting funny like it's too big. For instance, it closed on me without warning which it never did before. Also it's taking longer & longer to prepare for previewing. My project is only about 1/3 finished so I'm concerned I'm going to get into more & more problems given its growing size.
I thought to break it into smaller projects and link them using the MenuBuilder but I haven't figured out a way to get back to this menu page from the project. In Advance Settings of a particular menu item, I can select "Open link in the same window." This happens but at the end of watching that linked project, I just get a blank screen. If I "X" out of that project at the end of it using the "X" on the menu, I get a white screen. If I use the MS Window's "X", then everything closes included the menu preview window. Is it possible to somehow use a button to get back to the menu page and not have a 2nd window open for the menu item that was selected? Or maybe I can keep building in a single project b/c there is no size limit?
Thank you,
Jeanne

Welcome to our community, Jeanne
Indeed Captivate 3 projects *DO* actually have a "size limit". But I'm unaware of any specific byte size that is to be concerned about. Typically we recommend folks keep projects at somewhere between 50-65 slides as a "rule of thumb" guideline for an upper limit.
There are a great many factors that come into play with this. Things such as:
Authoring PC Specifications (available memory, hard drive, processor speed, etc.)
How many objects are on each slide
Generally you are able to split things up and perform what is called a "Daisy Chain" approach. This is where one project ends and another is launched as the ending action. You may also specify that the end action for projects be to open the SWF that contains the menu.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Is there a file size limit for images in keynote on a mac?

Is there a file size limit for images in keynote on a mac?

If you right click on the file (navigate to it using finder, or if it is in iCloud you should open keynote, File -> Open and you should see a list of your iCloud keynotes) then press command+i, you'll pull up the info tag which will tell you the file size.
Keynote also has an option to Reduce File Size (File -> Reduce Files Size) but I do not recommend it at all because it will severely degrade the quality of your pictures.
It's also possible to reduce an individual image's memory size in your keynote by right clicking it and selecting Reduce Image File Size). This is more time-consuming but allows you to see if the degraded photo quality is still good enough, and you can always undo it.

Is there a movie size limit for iWeb published in MobileMe?

I'm having trouble creating a movie page in iWeb. There's an error when I try to publish it to MobileMe.
Is there a movie size limit? The video is 20 MB.

I don't know what the limit is but iWeb often indicates 10MB or less is preferred. There are alternatives to adding larger movies to a web page that don't require the movie to load until the play button is selected. See this demo page for one method: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. A demo page with 7 movie files using this method can see here: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
This second page has the other method. It is a little more involved but works nicely. Again, the move doesn't have to load until the play button is selected. It's the movie here: QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player.

Is there a pratical size limit for an Air application window?

I'm brand new to creating Air applications. I started to design a utility in Flash CS4 for my own use. I had originally intended for it to be a simple SWF, but decided to make an Air app as an experiment, and to perhaps share it with others in the future.
Basically, the application allows the use to drag-resize a box to measure the pixel dimensions of an area onscreen (photo, Windows window, etc.) I wanted to allow it to be resized to any dimensions up to the size of the screen. The chrome is custom and mostly transparent with some alpha for the box to overlay on whatever you're measuring. However, I've run into a few problems, the primary one being that I cannot set the app to run maximized to the screen size and allow any graphics to extend beyond the dimensions of the stage in the source FLA (it all gets clipped at the edges of the stage). I decided to forget about this and just set a maximum size of the stage. So, what was originally a box that you could stretch out to any dimensions, can now only be resized to the upper limit I set (preferrably 1600px X 900px).
Annoyingly, I've found that any stage size in the source FLA beyond 1500px X 850px causes the Air app to respond very slowly. At sizes below that, the app responds very quickly, as if it were a windowed SWF. My question is, is there a practical upper limit to the size of an Air app window? I mean, if I have an Air app with a window size of 1500px X 850px that can be resized without any perceived lag, why does the window resizing slow down so dramatically by just increasing those dimensions by 1px?

These factors that determine the minimum and maximum width and height of a window:
The minimum and maximum operating system limits, which are the values of the systemMinSize and systemMaxSize properties of the NativeWindow object
The maximum width and height of a window in Adobe AIR, which are each 2880 pixels
The minimum width and height required by any displayed system chrome
The minSize and maxSize properties of the NativeWindow object
I cannot address the performance problems you are experiencing. I hope someone else can comment.

Is There A Maximum Size Limit for The MicroSD Card?

Hey all,
I'm a BB newbie. I installed an 8GB MicroSD card. Finally figured out that you must format the card from the device in order to get it to work.
However, in doing so, my 8GB card is only recognized as 4GB. Is there a maximum size card that the 8300 series(I have an 8320 through T-Mobile) will recognize or is there something strange going on with my MicroSD card???
The manual isn't clear on that.
Thank you

Supported SD card size is OS dependant as follows:
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 - Up to 2 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 - Up to 4 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 - Up to 4 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 - Up to 8 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0 - Up to 8 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.0 - Up to 16 GB
Note that 16 Gigs was just added to the list a few days ago! This is directly from the Tech Support Site here:

Is there a file size limit for App Store downloads over wifi?

I just gifted my friend a navigation app that is 1.4 Gb in size. Unbeknown to me, her iPhone is not tethered to a computer and therefore she only downloads apps directly to the phone via wifi. Is it possible to download a file of this size directly to the phone? So far the app has said "Loading..." for 3 hrs with no movement in the status bar. If there is a limit I would have expected the phone to disallow the process from even beginning.
Any thoughts on how to get this app downloaded would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a maximum size limit for a single file?

I haven't been able to find a statement of the maximum size of a file. We're looking at storing several 5-10gb files in one file library.
Is it possible?
How badly would that impact performance?

maximum size of a file. All files are stored as Binary Large Objects (BLOBs), A BLOB max size is (4 gigabytes -1) * (the value of the CHUNK parameter of LOB storage). Oracle Content Services configures its LOBs to have a 32K chunk size
Note that there is a overhead by storing large files, you should compress your files if possible before storing them.

How badly would that impact performance?Compared to what? Oracle ASM gives you the ability to stripe your content over hundreds of physcal disks to improve the performence. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/asm/index.html

Is There a File Size Limit for Videos from DVDs?

I copied King Arthur using HandBrake Lite so I could put it on my iPod, but HandBrake Lite, no matter what I try, refuses to copy past 1:20:59 (or 1 hour, 20 minutes and 59 seconds). The version of King Arthur that I'm trying to copy is, however (according to IMDb), 2:01 (2 hours and 1 minute), or as HandBrake Lite contends is 2:05 (2 hours and 5 minutes). These runtimes make a difference, but I'm going to go with what HandBrake Lite says the runtime is.
As a comparison, I'm also running the copy through HandBrake (which, incidentally, is at least consistent with HandBrake Lite's runtime, which makes my comparison easier). My main reason for running the copy through HandBrake and HandBrake Lite was to see whether the copy would copy past what HandBrake Lite obviously doesn't want to do.
Before I receive the data from HandBrake, answer me the question that is in the subject. If the answer is no, then why does HandBrake stubbornly refuse to copy past 1:20:59?

Is there are a size limit for the returned value from substr?

It is seems to be limited to 4000.
But working with clob it is not enough.
Does someone have a quick workarround?
Thanks!

It is seems to be limited to 4000.use plsql:
michaels> DECLARE
   c   CLOB := RPAD ('x', 32767, 'x') || RPAD ('x', 32767, 'x');
BEGIN
   DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Length clob: ' || LENGTH (c));
   DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Length substring clob: ' || LENGTH (SUBSTR (c, 1, 50000)));
END;
Length clob: 65534
Length substring clob: 50000

Is there a practical size limit on JPEG format image files?

I have noticed when working with Photoshop v7.0 on Windows XP that, when creating a JPEG format image file from a very large scanned image (more than 800 Mb, maybe), the .jpg file will usually be saved on disk at any of the possible compression ratios available, without any reported error, yet when the saved file is re-opened, an error is reported - something along the lines of "missing or corrupted end of file marker" - and the image cannot be loaded.
If before saving the original image is substantially reduced in size, e.g. by reducing the resolution of the image, a viable JPEG format file can be created, which will subsequently load successfully, though technically with data loss.
This appears to happen only with JPEG format files - PDF format files can be saved from the original image at similar JPEG compression ratios, without error on reloading.
I do not know if this also occurs with any other Photoshop versions. I am working with Adobe Photoshop v7.0 on Windows XP, although we are preparing to upgrade to CS (which version I don't know) in the near future, for different reasons to those which are detailed above.
Does anyone know if there is a technical explanation for this behaviour? Is there a file size limit for writing viable JPEG files (which Photoshop does not report as an error when exceeded)?
Thanks

that's what I gathered from "JPEG cannot [...] in Photoshop (code difficult to replace)".
But if you say this is in the works right now, that's good news indeed.

HT5071 size limit for an ibook on an itunesU course?

Can anyone tell me if there is a size limit for an ibook on an itunesU course?
Mine is looking pretty enormous I may have to break out into more than one book

The absolute limit is 2 gig i think; remember the larger the book is, the less likely people will want to doewnload it. Try doing it in seperate chpaters or multiple installments.
Hope it helps,

Is there a size limit for uploading files?

is there a size limit for uploading files?

You have max 20GB storage.
Upload anything you want up to that limit - be it one file or many.
The only limit after that is the speed of your internet connection since extremely large files can take hours to upload.
