Keeping Score in a Jeopardy-like way?

So I want to setup a sort of jeopardy like game in Captivate. So far I think with advanced actions I can accomplish this. However, I'm not sure exactly how to use advanced actions to keep a running total of a score.
So basically, I'll have a basic Main slide that will contain the game board and the numbers (i.e. Tools for 400), will be buttons basically that won't be obviously so. Selecting them will send you to a quiz/survey slide. I'd like to, with advanced actions, have a text box on the main slide that when a correct answer is given on a quiz slide, that number they won is added to that box on the main slide. Hopefully that makes sense.
Also, if anyone has any idea how to make a Quiz slide become just an element of a regular slide so that I can hide/show it instead of sending the user to a new slide, that'd be awesome too. If nothing works, I guess I'll make a flash thing, but I'd like to do it all in Captivate if possible.

that sounds like the quiz scope problem.
Quiz scope is a concept where once you show the first quiz question, you're within the 'scope' of the quiz. generally you can't move back 'before' the first quiz question, if you're looking at it on the filmstrip. you can move around all you want within that scope, but not outside of it until you finish the quiz.
If you have some kind of intro/instruction slide, add/change a 'continue' button. In the properties panel, go to 'reporting' select 'include in quiz' then deselect 'add to total'.
This will open up the quiz scope but not actually score the button.
that should fix it. should. not making any promises
PS - meant to say add the button to the intro/instruction/any slide prior to the game board slide.
edit: I was typing my response between your two replies. Sorry, someone corrupted one of our original source cp files this morning so we're scrambling to try and recover it. trying to type here and work with my peer might make for some confusing exchanges, but the quiz scope might still fix the scoring problem.
In the project i have, sorry I can't attach a screen shot, I have
Slide 1 - intro slide w/ quiz button
Slide 2 - game board with 5 columns of 7 questions each.
Slide 3-24 (not done yet) Random question slides pointing to their appropriate question pool.
Slide 25 - default scoring slide.
and it does all the things you mention in your original post. You don't need the random question slides I have in 3-24, it should work with 'regular' quiz questions also.

My ipod touch 4 keeps puasing my music for like half a second and then it starts playing again happens with all songs at random times

My ipod touch 4 keeps pausing my music for like half a second and then it starts playing again happens 2 to 3 time in any song

Hi, Radical2
This is not a complicated problem. And you can easilly solve it. Here is the way about how to recover music from iPod.
Connect your iPod to your computer to restore custom ringtones and ringtones saved to the computer. Click the "iPod" button in iTunes, or select your iPod in the sidebar if you enabled the option to show the sidebar. Select the "Tones" tab, check the box for each ringtone you want to transfer to your iPhone, and then click "Sync." Sometimes a 3 party tool such as Data Recovery may help you in a easy way.

My mac pro keeps making a chirping cricket-like sound

My Mac Pro keeps making a chirping cricket-like sound, more and more frequently. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this telling me one of my HD is going bad?

...I had them so close together that it sounded like the MacPro. Once I pulled them apart however, it was clear where the sound was coming from. Thank you all for the help!
Been there, done that. And the instructions, once I found them, seemed to list every possible communication except the chirps; I had to call tech support, which was actually a pleasant experience after dealing with Verizon.
The frequency of chirping as well as how long each chirp sequence lasts seems to be related to the line voltage. It's as if the UPS begins to worry as the line voltage goes down that it might have to actually do something with its battery.

My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M. Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing. Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

That's Windows malware, so it cannot be infecting your Mac. It probably is on your computer as an email attachment. To remove it, see:

Also, note that BitDefender is pretty bad at detecting Mac malware. I would recommend removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information about protecting yourself from malware:

Floating photos in 11 any one know how I can keep them in the workspace like elements 6

floating photos in Elements11, does any one know how I can keep them in the workspace like elements 6 really annoying when looking under photoshop and seeing the photo blocks my desktop or something simular or even blocks the tools bar opions at the bottom, which also seems far to big any help in mmaking that smaller or putting it at the top like elements 6 .. ( think I may just go back tho that 6 )

Hi Barbara B
Yes I have the photos floating but they float everywhere but not with the workspace If I move the work area and the photo stays where it was blocking all under it and as I said the photos tend to over lap into other parts as well when I move it in the work space Yes i know as clear as Mud

That is strange, sheltonrt.
What kind of an error?

HT1918 What about the verification questions? the ones like "way was your first job?" or "your favorite teacher?" I just got a new iPod and forgot the answers to those questions, and need to change them..

How to keep score in a simple game?

Hi - I'm building a simple multiple choice game. There is 5
questions, each with 2 different answers.
Which ever answer the user chooses on each question - they
will either gain or lose money - eg.
Answer A: Lose £2
Answer B: Gain £4
I'm looking for the simplest way I can keep track of the
users score throughout the game. I've looked at a few quiz
tutorials but they seem too advanced for what I'm trying to do...
Thanks.

To keep track of the user's score you just need to declare a
variable to hold that value, probably a global variable, and then
change that variable's value based on a set of rules that you
define.
To display the result of the change in the score, you need to
convert the value of the variable to something that the user can
use. In your case it looks like you want to show a value in pounds.
One way to achieve this is to declare a global variable at
the start of your movie, and then give it an inital value in a
function at the start of the movie. Something like this in a movie
script window would work:
global score
on startMovie
score = 0
end
Then you will need to set up a method to record the user's
choice for each question. In that method, probably a behavior
attached to the answer selectors, you can change the value of the
global variable.
Then you will need a text or field member instance on the
stage to show the score. You can show the result something like
this:
member("show score").text = "£" & score
Be sure to declare the global at every point where you want
to use it.

Keeping Score

Hey all,
I've conceptionalized the way to create a training DVD with a "questions and answers" format and multiple choice answers directing the viewer to the "you answer is correct" or the "sorry, but the correct answer is...", but I can't think of any way to keep a running score. Any thoughts?

>I think I'll use something like Visio to flowchart the concept and see what it looks like
Somewhat OT, but what is Visio?
I have heard of it before, but have no idea what it is or who makes it, or what it is capable of.
I'm told it can be used not only for flowcharting, but also keeping full tabs on a project including asset signoff, job allocation, workflow - the lot.
Any links would be great.
GPRM are exactly as Ruud describes, and you don't see them in Encore as it deals with all this in the Abstraction Layer - this is the bit between you & the DVD specs, and it is what does the work here.
For full control, and complete access, I would like to see this accessible myself, and so would a lot of other users.
However the downside is that probably 75% of Encore users would not need it, want it and would complain loud & long about it being included. Fact is, you cannot please everyone.
This is where there could possibly be 2 versions of Encore.
A new, full spec version where the AL can be turned off, or at least where full scripting could be allowed. You will really need to understand exactly what you are doing, and have a good knowledge of the specs.
And before anyone tells me that Apple's DVDSP has this already - I know. It also has a lot more bugs.

Combine text layers but keep text editable? OR A way to export text as a paragraph in InDesign into Photoshop

Hoping to achieve one of these goals, either option is equally fine:
Option 1) find a way to merge text layers but keep the text editable in Photoshop.
Option 2) find a way in InDesign to group and collapse text so that it lands on one layer or one text paragraph that could be selected together. So that when I export to EPS and then PSD the text is not sliced up on various layers but is combined into one editable text layer.
Why? I'm saving out from InDesign and for whatever reason the text is fragmented across many objects/layers/ whatever you want to call it. When using the export feature from InDesign these bits of text are then saved out as separate layers when you export to EPS. Using Illustrator with the EPS files is no help either.
The best way I can describe it is like in these InDesign document there are web page slices being used and various bits of the text are landing on various slices which in turn befuddles the export function that is valiantly trying to maintain these 'slices' of text by fragmenting letters, words, or characters across many 'slices' into many layers.
Here's what the document looks like when I go from InDesign> export> EPS> then open in Illustrator and export to PSD.
What I want is all of those individual text layers to be one text layer, still editable, in Photoshop.

The icons on my Google toolbar keep changing position and the stock indicators (7 of them) all lose their original references and point to Nasdaq. How do I keep my settings from changing like this?

I recently added the Google toolbar to Firefox and set it up the way I had it using IE with my favorite web sites followed by 7 stock indicators each pointing to a different company. I have this on two separate computers and in both cases the order of the icons changed and the stock indicators all changed to point to Nasdaq. I corrected this on my system at home but do not know at this time whether it has happened again.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Over this past weekend.

Firefox 8 comes out Nov 8, look for it on the 9th unless you like to try all day to see if Help>About shows an update. Actually if your anxious try mozilla.com on the 8th.

A more Unix-like way to instant message

I've been using Pidgin for IM'ing and it's working satisfactorily so far.
But I want to be able to IM from within a terminal, or from within emacs. I'm not happy with the emacs jabber client and I do need many more protocls than just that.
Is there an IM client that'll, instead of creating windows for me to read/send messages, will dump incoming messages to a file (/tmp/incomming-user@protocol or something) and send whatever data I put into another stream (/tmp/outgoing-user@protocol)?
I'm not sure if this idea is really a good one... maybe it's just because I've been tinkering with mkfifo too much lately but... my gut tells me it's the most versatile way t'build an IM client.

Wibjarm wrote:You may want to have a look at putting bitlbee together with ii. That should give you good support for a bunch of protocols, and make it easy enough to do whatever other fifo shenanigans you've got in mind.
This is pretty cool.
I've also found this: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ELIM
It may work. I'll keep y'all posted.

How can I keep only the photos i like in my hard drive ?

lets say i download 10 pictures from my camera to my library.
i dont like five and send them to my trash bin.
then i modify them all five and everything looks allright in my iphoto library.
And then i go to my hard drive and i have 20 photos!
but i only want in my hard drive the five i previously chose and modified and are in my library.

Hello, giru san,
Welcome to the discussions.
First, I think you need to understand a bit of how iPhoto is designed to work. When you import your photos into iPhoto, iPhoto stores your original photo in its iPhotoLibrary file called Originals. That way you always have the original photo. If you make any edits, then iPhoto puts your edited photos into its Modified file. In addition, iPhoto creates thumbnail versions of your photos. So, after importing and editing you will have three sets of photos. That is just how iPhoto works.
Have a look at the posts of smtr, Terence and Old Toad for more explanation here
You may also find it useful to look at the Apple tutorial for iPhoto
When you have iPhoto open, be sure to look at the Help files for a lot of information and explanation of how iPhoto works.
Also, don't ever change, rename or move anything from the iPhotoLibrary files on your hard drive. Do all your iPhoto changes from within iPhoto. If you change or rearrange those files you can seriously damage iPhoto and may lose your photos. See this Don't tamper with iphoto files
