Issue with fill in the blank field and back button.

I am working in CP4 AS2. I have create a page of fill in the blank fields to simulate filling in a form. On the next slide, I show the answers by extracting the variables into text boxes. I have a back and a next button and instruct the user to review their answers and if incorrect, to select the back button in order to reenter the data. I have the back button set to jump to the previous slide by number (i've tried previous, last slide, etc...)
The flash movie freezes when I select the back button. I think flash is having trouble going back to the fill in the blank fields from the displayed variables. Any ideas? or work arounds for this. The idea solution would take them back to the page with the data already in the fields so they could correct the errors only and then return to the review page.
Thanks
Scott

Hi there
Is scoring enabled on these? If so, perhaps your quiz settings are preventing backward movement.
Cheers... Rick

Issue with Mark of the Web, PDFs, and merged WebHelp

I'm sure this has come up before, but I can't locate the definitive answer.
I am using RH8 and have a merged WebHelp system containing a parent projects and 10 or so child projects. Previously, when I generated the WebHelp projects, I selected the Mark of the Web check box for the parent and all the children. Everything seemed to work fine.
Now, I've been asked to create a new child project with links to a large number of PDF files. After reviewing the documents on this forum, I realized I needed to (1) unselect Mark of the Web to see the PDFs in the generated output and (2) change my IE settings to Allow Active Content to Run from Files on PC. Unfortunately, while I can now see PDFs just fine, my merged help is no longer working correctly--the link from the parent topic to a project generated w/o Mark of the Web no longer works. That is:
If Mark of Web selected:
     PDFs don't work
     merged help does
If Mark of Web not selected:
     PDFs work
     merged help does not
How can I make everything work?
Thanks.

Are you testing locally?
Have you tried after publishing to the server? If not do so as that will likely make the difference.

How can I make a fill-in-the-blank question with partial score?

I need to make an evaluation test with some questions. Some of them is a fill-in-the-blank question and it has to have partial score.
I have:
4 fields (text entry boxes) with: retain text, validate user input;
also checked include in quiz, with points, add to total and report answers;
an action that disables the 4 fields when the student is on review mode (otherwise it would be possible to change the answer after submitting the answers);
Problems:
I can't give feddback to the student: if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering, if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer. I tried to use a shape to hide captions but the captions are always in front of the shape;
When reviewing the test something happens and the second time we see the results slide it assumes that the fields in the FIB question are empty;
Notes: it will be used in Moodle, as a scorm package
What can I do?

I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
"if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
"if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

Fill in the blank and advanced actions

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering whether this can be accomplished with fill in the blanks standard quiz question or whether I need use Advanced Actions.
I have a graphic of a form that needs to be correctly filled out with specific values. There are multiple fields on each graphic/slide. I want all fields to be filled in correctly to get the question (slide) correct. I also want to be able to adjust to fields to have an invisible border and no inset so they are invisible on top of the the graphic.
Is this possible using a standard fill in the blank question slide (I couldn't really figure it out) or is this something that I should be looking at Advanced Actions to accomplish? If Advanced Actions will be required, does anyone have an example?
I appreciate the assistance!

Hello,
With the default FIB you are a bit limited especially concerning the field to be filled in. Advanced actions will give you more control. Would need some more details, but I did blog about constructing all kinds of questions. Here is one link to a post that has a FIB question:
Extended TextArea widget for custom questions
This will not be exactly what you are looking for, but perhaps give you some idea about what is possible. Are you familiar with advanced actions?

Fill in the Blank Problem

Alright, I'm new to captivate and all that, but I have a slight problem with fill in the blank quizes that I can't seem to figure out. What I want to do is create fill in the blank quiz questions that already have an incorrect answer in the blank that, after a user attempts to answer the question, returns to the original incorrect answer. So, for instance, if I had a fill in the blank that read "(Cats) go woof woof" where the parentheses represent the blank, I would want 'Cats' to reappear after a user incorrectly filled in that blank. As it is, it seems to keep the user text. I've tried checking and unchecking the retain text button in options, but that doesn't seem to do it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re-reading the question, I realize I may not being clear? I want the example text in a text entry box to re-appear after a user types in an answer and is given the failure or success message. Not possible? Thanks in advance.

Differences between 'Cancel' , 'Exit' and 'Back' buttons in a dialog prog.

Hi all,
I have a straightforward questions about handlign the Cancel, Exit and Back buttons in a dialog program. What is the way of handling these function codes? I guess with 'Exit' we leave the transaction using command 'Leave Program', with 'Back' we can use 'Leave to screen 0' . Right? What about Cancel command?
Regards,
Sükrü

hi
good
CANCEL->Cancel the Current Session back to exactly last session
EXIT->Exit From the current session and back to main session
BACK->Back to the exactly the last session
thanks

Filling up a pdf form which I received as email. I opened it on my adobe reader 11 and filled up the highlighted fields. Yet when I click on the send via mail it says changes will not be included. How do I send the form with changes?

Filling up a pdf form which I received as email. I opened it on my adobe reader 11 and filled up the highlighted fields. Yet when I click on the send via mail it says changes will not be included. How do I send the form with changes?
The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

I can't draw straight lines for fill-in-the-blank on my tests and worksheets. The "draw it yourself choice makes big fat lines and takes a lot of manipulation. Do I have to draw them myself with a pen and a ruler?

I can't draw straight lines for fill-in-the-blank on tests and worksheets. The draw-it-yourself ooption gives me thick lines and is time-consuming. So, after all these years, do I have to go back to using a ruler and a pen?

In Pages v5.0.1, the straight lines are already drawn for you in the Shape Tool. Before we go there, select Menu > View > Show Ruler.
When you click on Shape in the Pages toolbar, the top left line is straight. Click it. It will drop into your document in a 45 degree angle. Grab the lower left selection grip and drag it up and to the right to position the horizontal line in the length of your choice. Use the Format: Style tab to manage the stroke weight. You can also choose Menu > Edit > Duplicate Selection (command+D) as a productivity tool.
If you move from the Format: Style tab to the Arrange tab, you can compare the start and end points with where you want the line positioned on the ruler. Once you have it positioned, notice the Lock button, also on the Format: Arrange tab.

Issue with DEBMAS IDoc,not all fields are reflected in the IDoc Seg E1KNB1M

For IDoc type DEBMAS, there is a segment E1KNB1M. This segment is relate to the customer correspondence details (XD02 -> company code data -> Correspondence).
For any change to the customer master a DEBMAS IDoc is triggered which has data in segments including the E1KNB1M.
In my case for few customers, the not all fields in the segment E1KNB1M contain data. Few fields contain data but the rest are filled with u2018\u2019. This is happening only in the production system, for the same customer in the quality system the data is there as required.
I checked in debugging, and found that the data is correctly passed to the segment in program SAPLVV01 Include LVV01F01. And the segment contains data till the IDoc is triggered. I.e. the fields are not getting cleared at any point.
Can anyone suggest what is happening and how to fix this? Please note that the issue is only in the production system and not in the quality system ( for the same customer).

BTT... Need some help on the above

Using wild card with Captivate 5 ( fill in the blank)

I am training software package that requires many fill in the blanks besides the login screeen. If I were to recording the actions using Captivate 5 record, I think, I can only use a demonstration recording as oppsed to having my students interact with the product by filling in the blank. For example, my product asks for a login. When I login to demonstrate how it should be done, the product reponds correctly. By my student is limited to watching as opposed to interacting. While login is not such a big deal, there are several other areas where the same concept applies. Ideally, I wish to use wild cards in fill in the blank so that any name or information can be used to interact with Captivate and move the slide along. Is this possible, and if so, how?

I think Lilybiri may be misinterpreting your use of the term "wildcards" to mean using them in the programming sense.
Perhaps you are referring to the characters that appear in a typical Password field to hide what the user is actually typing?
If so, the text field object in Captivate has an option to use these password characters so that the user's typing characters are hidden. The characters used are asterisks, which are what some people refer to as wildcard characters.

Combining multiple pdfs and then adding info to the blank fields.

i combined multiple pdf's together to make one package. The forms had text field in each of them, when i combined them i tried to add text to the blank spots and the info autofilled from page one on to all of the pages. I do not want this to happen. when i go to the tasks-> Forms-> Edit fields, it brings up each page with the text box and a number next to each one that page. All of the pages have some numbers that are the same and i can not change them so the info does not fill in from info on other pages. How do i stop this?

Do you need the fields to remain interactive or need to extract the field data after you merge the document together?

Issue with filling out form fields in Safari?

Hello,
Has anyone noticed any issues with filling out form fields (specifically text boxes) in Safari 6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.8.2? When I attempt to test forms I've created, there is a delay when typing values into text boxes. Other types of input controls (check boxes, drop down lists, etc.) appear to work fine. As far as I can tell, this only occurs with Safari 6.0.2 in Mac OS 10.8.2. Prior versions of Safari do not have this issue, nor does Firefox in the same OS environment. When I refresh the form, the delay is not as noticeable. I'm searching the WebKit bug reports as well, but nothing seems to point to this issue. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

From the menu bar, select
Edit ▹ Substitutions
and uncheck Text Replacement.

How do I download a pdf, fill in the blanks and then email

How do I download a pdf file, change it so I can fill in the blanks, then email?

If the form doesn't have any fillable form fields, then you could use the text tool under "fill and sign" in Adobe Reader XI.
If you have an older version, you cannot do this.

I would like to fill up the following pages. If I fill up the first fields with some letters, they multiplay each other in several other fields, there I don't want them. Can you help me?

You can't change that, and we can't either. It's an error in the creation of the form. ALL of the fields that "auto populate" have the same name and description, so when you fill one, the rest fill by default with the same info. You'll need to contact the author of the form and inform them of the error.
