Keyboard control in Captivate 8?

Hello, I am new to Captivate. If I have two buttons labeled "Next" and "Back" and have actions assigned to each, Next would be "Go to the next slide" and Back would be "Go to the previous slide" with "Enter" assigned for keyboard control it kind of sort of works (sometimes):
1. Sometimes you will be clicking "Next" and it just mysteriously goes BACK a frame
2. Sometimes you will be clicking "Back" and it just mysteriously goes to the NEXT frame
3. To top it all off, you don't even seem to have to tab to the buttons for the Enter key to be active (which is not right)
Am I doing something wrong or is there something I'm setting/not setting to make this work properly? I have enable accessibility checked in the publishing settings but I'm not exactly sure what that does (maybe make the text on the screen available to a screen reader?).
If Captivate is not keyboard accessible it is NOT accessible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.

Hi there
What is your project type? Responsive? If so, that's why animation is disabled. Animations are usually built in Flash and Responsive output doesn't "do" Flash.

Keyboard Control FAIL: Using TAB key on websites directs cursor to nowhere!!! Why?

(using 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 MAC MINI, OS X Lion 10.7.5)
I have always felt safer using the keyboard rather than mouse-clicking on search fields etc. (Open Firefox, hit command+L to the URL I want to go to, then hop to next field with TAB key).
Most notably frustrating example is with using Google, this has not worked right for some time. Say that you to start to search for something on google "main page" and then it goes to the search results page... You go to edit your search or type your next search and the cursor is flashing inside (but off center) of the search field and inputting text is not an option. Also you may instictively hit ESC (while in search field) when you are being given suggestions you don't want, and then the cursor moves again to this no-man's land in between fields.
The other KEYBOARD control issue that I have found is this:
Sometimes you cannot Close Window or even Quit Firefox with the usual keyboard shortcut. Usually when a few windows or tabs are open, or when there is some pop-up survey etc. on page. You can usually ALT+TAB to another open program and then back, and then you can close window or application. But that seems really sketchy to me! This happens all the time on major websites. You can go File-> Close Window or File->Quit, but when you use the same keyboard command the file menu just flashes with an "error tone."

The TAB key thing was the same in safe mode. Actually I should add/correct, regarding that google search example: when the cursor is in "inbetween fields" positions, actually it lets you type at the END of the text that you had typed in the field (even though the cursor is blinking before the text). and if you "Command A" to replace the text in the search field while cursor in this position, it instead selects all the rest of the text OUTSIDE the field. Just doesn't make any sense. I think this happens with fields on Facebook as well.
That first issue is just very annoying because it comes up every day and I never get used to it. I would be actually be curious to hear from someone whom this DOES NOT happen to.
The 2nd issue I mentioned occurs more randomly, and seems more definately a Firefox issue. (When you can only close a window or quit from the drop down menu with the mouse, Command W and Command Q just give an error beep)

How Stop Pop-Up Window: Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?

How can I cause the cessation of the pop-up window that asks me, "Allow fullscreen with keyboard controls?"
In the last month or two (January- February of 2013), this black, semi-transparent pop-up has appeared every time I go to full screen in the game Battle Pirates on facebook.
After numerous iterations, this confirmation request has become completely unneccessary and nothing more than an unwelcome annoyance.

Tom,
Moderators have the authority and privilege to mark answers as correct, in addition to the original posters. ANY moderator here could have marked it that way.
The Bug report/Feature Request link is not a "vote" page per say, but a place to submit a request for a feature you'd like to see added or dropped from Flash Player. It's the best way to voice a concern or "wish" for a feature, since the development team reads the reports/requests. Management who'd make the decision to add or remove something won't read about it here. They WILL hear about it from development.

How to add keyboard control on our tree.

hi,
any body can kindly tell me that how can we add keyboard control on out tree widget.
I am also anxious to know that when I compiled and loaded the PnlTreeView sample in Debug mode, keyboard control on this panel was also not working fine, it worked sometime and not on the other.
Can anybody help me for the above 2 questions.

There's no calendar control per-se, but you have an option - create an HTML image-map prompt - that should work....the only problem would be making it dynamic, but I'm sure you can create a big image map

Implementing keyboard control on a window

Hi, I'm currently trying to implement keyboard control for a tetris game I'm attempting to make, but I've done it a rather dodgy way. I've implemented it on a Jpanel instead.
What I want to do is, implement the keyboard control on the window, however I've been unable to do so. I'm new to java (this is quite an ambitious project - but I'm trying to learn) so any help would be really appreciated.
This is the code for constructing the window with the Panels:
please note: I have omitted the import statements.
public class MainWindow extends JFrame
    public MainWindow()
        setTitle("Tetris!");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container contentPane;
        contentPane = this.getContentPane();
        contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        Game game;
        game = new Game(10, 20);
        GameView gameView = new GameView(game);
        contentPane.add(gameView, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        InfoPanel infoPanel = new InfoPanel(game);
        contentPane.add(infoPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
        KeyboardControl keyboardControl = new KeyboardControl(game);
        contentPane.add(keyboardControl, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        this.pack();
        game.start();
}This is the code for the keyboard control:
public class KeyboardControl extends JPanel implements KeyListener
    private Game game;
    public KeyboardControl(Game game)
        this.game = game;
        setLayout(new GridLayout(0,-1));
        setFocusable(true);
        addKeyListener(this);
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event)
           int key = event.getKeyCode();
            if (key == event.VK_LEFT)
                // Move the block left
                game.moveLeft();
                else if (key == event.VK_RIGHT)
                    // Move the block right
                    game.moveRight();
                    else if (key == event.VK_UP)
                        // Rotate the block
                        game.rotate();
                        else if (key == event.VK_DOWN)
                            // Drop the block
                            game.drop();
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event)
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event)
}Can anyone provide any hints and sites to look at? I've been through the java tutorials, and the above is what I have achieved.

Your implementation of the keyboard control (or listener) looks correct.
To change it to listen to keyword on the window, would require only a
small change.. See below code.
public class MainWindow extends JFrame implements KeyListener
    public MainWindow()
        setTitle("Tetris!");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container contentPane;
        contentPane = this.getContentPane();
        contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        Game game;
        game = new Game(10, 20);
        GameView gameView = new GameView(game);
        contentPane.add(gameView, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        InfoPanel infoPanel = new InfoPanel(game);
        contentPane.add(infoPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
       addKeyListener(this);
        //KeyboardControl keyboardControl = new KeyboardControl(game);
        //contentPane.add(keyboardControl, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        this.pack();
        game.start();
   public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event)
           int key = event.getKeyCode();
            if (key == event.VK_LEFT)
                // Move the block left
                game.moveLeft();
                else if (key == event.VK_RIGHT)
                    // Move the block right
                    game.moveRight();
                    else if (key == event.VK_UP)
                        // Rotate the block
                        game.rotate();
                        else if (key == event.VK_DOWN)
                            // Drop the block
                            game.drop();
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event)
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event)

Front Row - Did the 10.6.3 update break keyboard control?!

So, I came across an odd problem today when helping a friend get her data moved from an old iBook G4 onto a new MacBook Pro 2.66GHz. I walked her through setting up the Migration Assistant while on the phone and drove over to help her install some new software. When I got there, she said she was exploring some of the new apps and Front Row looked like it had frozen on her. It wouldn't respond to the arrow keys, Return, or even Command-Escape. Force-quitting via Command-Opt-Esc worked though. I opened Front Row again, and the same thing happened. For kicks, I grabbed my Apple Remote from my backpack and tried it... it seemed to have control just fine, but the keyboard still didn't. Baffled, I told her I'd look into it more later.
When I got home, I tried it on my MBP 2.53GHz and... low and behold... keyboard control wouldn't work on my machine either! I find this very strange because less than a month ago under 10.6.2 (I held out on 10.6.3 for quite a while... was just lazy, I admit) I KNOW I had full control without needing any Apple Remote to do it! I used it for photo slideshows, movies, and quicktime trailers with NO PROBLEM at all. Now, suddenly, under 10.6.3, I can't use Front Row without an Apple Remote?! What gives??
Am I being stupid or blind to some simple setting somewhere, or did Front Row seriously take a change for the worse and disable keyboard control?? If anyone else can chime in here, it would be most appreciated, particularly if you know of a way to help me regain control like I had before without needing an Apple Remote. (For a computer that sits less than two feet away from me, this is a real annoyance!) Thanks for the help!

I have tried that now, but still the same and now my wi-fi printer has stopped working - it is in the print and scan folder and showing as idle but when I send something to print it appears in the folder but does not print. This too was working fine before the update.
I am afraid as a newbie Mac person all this is just far too much for me. After spending £1500 on a machine only 4 days ago, over £50 on books from Amazon to make sure I learn about the Snow Leopard OS X platform, I do not expect to have these issues from just a simple update. When I wanted to turn back the system to 10.6.2 Apple Care told me I have to re-load the iMac operating system to put it back into its original state - on a pc you would just have to do system restore and the whole thing would have been corrected in 5 minutes whilst I waited for all the apparent issues to be resolved relating to the current update.
I have packed it and today it is going back to the shop - sorry I really tried but this experience is just too much for me - but thanks for all your help.

Active content vs popups vs keyboard control

Hi Forum
I am using Dreamweaver 8 to build a web site to display some
interactive art work I made in Flash 8. I used Fireworks 8 to build
a navBar with popups and got that working OK with Dreamweaver, but
the popups would not show in front of my Flash art work (Active
Content). I found the fix for that in this forum's archives -- add
the wmode parameter with a value of opaque for the Flash artwork in
the XHTML, and set the z-index of the Flash Artwork below the
z-index of the navBar in the stylesheet. This worked and I thought
I was home free.
Then I tried to add a page of my Flash artwork that uses the
keyboard arrow keys. If wmode/opaque is present, the scroll bar
intercepts the arrow keys in IE 6 and IE 7. In Firefox, no keyboard
commands work at all. If I take out the wmode/opaque thing, the
keyboard controls work fine in IE 6, 7 and Firefox 2, but the popup
menu cannot be seen.
Is there a way to make everything work? If I went to a
commercial product like Project 7, would that solve all 3 problems?
Thanks.
Mote

No, it wouldn't. Redesign the page so the menu doesn't
overlap the flash.

Question about keyboard control in Flash presentation

I created a presentation in Flash. And I embedded the following keyboard control scripts so that I can pause the slide by pressing "Spacebar" and play it again by pressing "Enter".
keyListener = new Object();
var isStopped : Boolean = false;
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
    var keyCode = Key.getCode();
    if (keyCode == 13) {
       _root.play();
if (keyCode == 32) {
       _root.stop();
Key.addListener(keyListener);
I also embedded getTimer script to delay the speed of the flow so that key-point can be loaded one by one.
stop();
t = getTimer();
onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(getTimer()>= t+3000){
        play();
        onEnterFrame = undefined;
Other than the above keyboard control, I also add four buttons at the right bottom so that I can play and pause, fast forward and rewind by clicking those four buttons.
Problems:
1. the 1st and 2nd slide cannot be paused by the above keyboard control command.
2. the play and pause buttons at the right bottom is not functional in the 1st and 2nd slide
(i attached the fla for easier understanding of the above descriptions. appreciated if you can help me to figure out what goes wrong.

remove all your code except your key listener code:
keyListener = new Object();
var isStopped : Boolean = false;
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
    var keyCode = Key.getCode();
    if (keyCode == 13) {
       _root.play();
if (keyCode == 32) {
       _root.stop();
Key.addListener(keyListener)
then change your frame rate so your slides display at the rate you want.

Keyboard controls stop working after exiting full screen

Hi everyone,
I have QT Pro 7.4.1, with a problem that started after upgrading to the .1 version.
When I exit full screen mode while watching a movie, the keyboard shortcuts for the player controls stop working. Instead, the computer beeps at me when I press the spacebar, etc. The keyboard controls still work during full screen mode, and after exiting full screen mode, I can still click on the play controls with the mouse to make them work. I've looked through the forum, but can't find anything about this. I also got this problem with one of my school's computers, with the same version of QT Pro. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a known bug?
Thanks,
Irene

Yep.
A bug of sorts.
A "click" on the small screen version will restore QuickTime Player "focus" and then the keyboard inputs will work as designed.

Changing DVD player keyboard controls

Anyone know if it's possible to change the default keyboard controls for the DVD player? I wanted to change the scan/shuttle controls to J,K,L instead of Command-Arrow. Anyone know if this is possible? I'll also post it to the suggestion forum as well. It would be useful for those of us who are used to working in Final Cut Studio and other video programs.
Jonathan

It sounds to me like the problem is stemming from the energy savings settings on the mac. By default all iMacs are configured to go to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity. "Inactivity" is usually defined by the Mac OS as a lack of user input, i.e. through the mouse or keyboard. When watching a DVD you are most likely not fulfilling these user input requirements and the computer is attempting to enter a energy savings mode (sleep mode) while your DVD is playing. The Mac OS should be aware that you are actually using your computer and should not become unresponsive so this sounds like a bug that Apple needs to fix.
My solution is twofold
1st: make sure you are using the most current version of OS X by running software update (just incase Apple did fix this bug)
2nd: Adjust the iMac's "sleep" settings by opening System Preferences and selecting the Energy Saver button. Drag the sliders for system and display sleep to the right when you plan to watch a DVD and return them to normal when finished with your DVD (or your mac will always stay on)
Hopefully this works for you.
Thom
- One extra point: if this problem persists try pressing but not holding the power button on the iMac. This should "wake up" the mac from its perpetual deep sleep. I'm not sure, but perhaps you have wireless keyboard, mouse etc. which may be ignored when the iMac is in a low power or sleep mode.

How Stop Pop-Up Advisory: "Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?"

Is there any way to stop the repeteing ad nauseum and excruciatingly annoying pop-up queery: "Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?" everytime one expands a Flash window to full screen?
Similarly, is there a way to turn off the "<webpage address> is now fullscreen. Press Esc to exit." advisement, which reemerges every time one's cursor grazes the top of the screen?

I hear you. There is no official way to get this done at this time. If you have a few minutes, I'd encourage you to visit this bug report and leave a comment/vote.

Keyboard control on Labview

Hi,
I have a test fixture with power on and off switch, 6V to 4V switch, reset button, enable button, beep button and shock test button.
I also have PCI 6250 board and NI 5112 board.
I would like to create a Labview program using keyboard shortcut key to control the buttons on my test fixture. Can I do that?
and how?
Can I also not let anyother people to touch anything on my program except using the shortcut key? If so, what do I need to do?
I am in a urgent. Can you reply to me promply?

Hi Brett,
First, I would like to know if LabVIEW program can control the buttons of my test fixture.
Second, where is advanced >> key navigation for a keyboard control? Can you show your direction more specifically?
Third, not to provide mouse with your system. Did you means there is something you need to do besides assigning keyboard
control? That is the next step.
Forth, why you mentioned event structure? did you mean if you can restrict user not to touch using the mouse, you should ignore
the event structure part.

Keyboard control of dialog box buttons

Terribly sorry because I'm sure this must be answered more than a few times, but I just can't seem to find it!
Can AppleScript dialog boxes activate buttons in response to keyboard input?
Lots of Aqua apps let me use tab to move through the controls in a dialog box, then press space to activate. Even back before OS X, I could activate a button by typing the first letter (probably while holding down the command key).
Can I script that sort of behaviour without using Studio?

Thanks Cam -- Yes, you're right: I can use tab and space.
I'm just using the display dialog command (e.g., 'display dialog "Hello, world" buttons {"Button 1", "Button 2"})
I could change the prompt for the worse to take advantage of return and escape keys.
Does Studio let me assign or otherwise use other keyboard controls in dialog boxes?
