Lock the progress bar in the playbar (Captivate 8)

I'm looking for a way to lock the progress bar in the playbar in Captivate 8. This has come up a few times in regards to older versions of Captivate, but I haven't seen anything for 7 or 8 yet.
I've tried this: Captivate 6 Help me Lock the Progress Bar in the Playbar, which relates to ver 6, but seemed to kinda do what I'm looking for, but not exactly.
However, the Playbar Lock Widget seems to do exactly what I'm looking for (Flash-Factor » Playbar Lock Widget (Cp5, Cp5.5)) but is for 5 and 5.5 only. According to this threadCaptivate 6 playbar lock, the widget doesn't work on 6, so I assume it doesn't work on 7 or 8, either. I've emailed the developer (Whyves) the other day, but considering the last activity on that site was a couple of years ago, I'm not really expecting a response.
Does anyone know if there is an easy-ish way to do this or if there is an updated version of this widget available?
Thanks,
Marc

Lilybiri,
Thank you very much for your response. I realize it was very unlikely that particular widget would be updated, but was hoping someone has since been able to make something like that work in Captivate 8 (or even Cp7).
I am actually working on a project that must be completed in a linear fashion the first time through. It consists of three parts, with each part consisting of a short video presentation followed by a couple of knowledge check/quiz questions. Learners must correctly answer the questions before they can proceed to the next part, and should be able to review the video they just watched (or any previous video) at any time, but they must not be able to skip ahead to the next video until they've correctly answered the KC questions for each part, or to skip the video the first time through.
Enabling remediation helps in that it allows learners to re-watch the video before and even during the knowledge checks without getting 'stuck' on a question they've answered correctly already. However, it seems that forcing a linear flow while still giving learners an idea of their progress through the course via a progress bar without allowing them to use it to skip ahead has proven very difficult to do.
The widget seemed to perfectly fit the bill in that it would disable 'scrubbing' with the progress bar until learners completed the activity. Then, once they've completed it, they could now use the progress bar to review the material again if they wished.
Oh, well... we'll keep digging and hoping that maybe someone out there with more knowledge and skill in this than us figures out a way to make it work.
Thanks again!

Lock the progress bar in the Adobe Captivate 5.5 playbar.

I recently read some interesting postings from cpguru website. One of them is how to lock the progress bar.
(http://www.cpguru.com/tutorial-lock-the-progress-bar-in-the-adobe-captivate-playbar/)
It says that we can lock the progess bar with simple three lines of AS2 code.
this.stop();
delete _root.cpPbcBar_mc.pbcBar_mc.pbcSlider_mc.onMouseDown;
delete _root._level0.cpPbcBar_mc.pbcBar_mc.pbcSlider_mc.onMouseDown;
I would like to use this code, but my captivate version is 5.5, which means
I do need to have AS3 code. Is there anyone who already figure out how to do it with AS3?
If so, could you give me some guidance.
Sami

Hi Sami,
I am not sure if you would like to hide it or lock it.
I can recommend you to use the a system defined variable and set it to hide the play bar on ceratin slides so it would not appear on those slide.
Thanks!

What happend to the download progress bar and the secure site indicator (lock)?

I recently upgraded to Firefox ver.4. Immediately noticed that the green download progress bar no longer displays. Also when accessing a secure web site the lock icon previously displayed in the lower right of the window is no longer there. Any suggestions on how to get them back?

The status bar was removed in Firefox 4. You can use this two add-ons:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-statusbar/
The Lock icon has been changed. Please read this article:

You can use this add-on to get the classic icon back:

Hey there ddjild,
It sounds like you are restoring your previous phones backup to your new one, but the progress bar appears to be stuck. According to this article:
iOS: Apple logo with progress bar after updating or restoring from backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3681
the process can take from several minutes to an hour to complete. The amount of time depends on the number of files on the device and whether you're erasing, updating, or upgrading your iOS.
If the device has stil not finished the process, I would recommend resetting the device with the following article:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If that does not get the phone booted back to the Lock Screen so you can get to your Home Screen, I would next try putting the device into recovery mode and attempting another restore from that backup:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Problem installating Snow Leopard on old Macbook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo. After creating partition on internal hard disk (Extended Journaled), installation starts but stops at half of the progress bar. Screen asking Restart appears.

Hello:
I have tried installing Snow Leopard via the installation disc on a Macbook Pro (2007) with an Intel Core 2 Duo, but I the installation has failed more than 5 times.
I have first formatted and partitioned the internal hard disk with Mac Os Extended Journal format.
Once the installation starts, it starts without a problem unti lthe progress bar gest until half completed then a screen asking for a Computer Restart shows up.
It asks to press the power button for some time until it the computer shuts down and then, press again to turn it on.
Once turned on, the installation disc gets readed, the installation screen appears again and asks again to start the whole installation process form the beginning.

Then you have a Hardware Problem.
Your system is Crashing part way through the install and Re-Booting because of the crash.
Could be the drive itself or it could be some other hardware part in your system. Like the RAM.
To check if it is the internal drive connect an External drive to the system by USB and do the install on that external. If the install completes then it more then likely the drive is bad. If it crashes again then it is more then likely some other piece of hardware in your system.

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Internet recovery gets stuck on the spinning globe with the progress bar below.

Hello Everybody!
I'm trying to fix the iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) of my friend. He said it doesn't boot anymore and just gets stuck on the grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel below. So my first step was to go into the Startup Manager by pressing the Option key after the chime. There I was presented with the Macintosh HD and the Recovery HD. After selecting the Recovery HD to access the Disk Utilities I got stuck on the grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel again. So I guess the data on the drive is corrupted and might have to be replaced. But before I do that, I wanted to give the Internet Recovery a try. I connected the iMac to the internet using an ethernet cable and pressed Command + Option + R after the chime and the spinning globe appeared with the info: "starting recovery process from network. This may take a while". After a short time the sentences are replaced by a progress bar and a timer that is counting up. The progress bar then moved for a tiny little bit and then nothing happens anymore but the timer keeps counting up. I waited for quiet some time before I gave up. I did not get any errors so I can't provide any other useful information. Can anyone give my some advice? I read in other posts that the ISPs of specific countries block ports which are needed for the internet recovery. I'm in Thailand right now. Does anyone know if that might cause the problem?
Thank you for all your help!

HT1212 My ipad mini has been crashing a lot recently so I started a system reset. However, it's now stuck with the progress bar less than a quarter gone: this has been the case for several days now. I have tried resetting from itunes but it needs the pass

Now it's stuck with the progress bar less than a quarter full. I have also tried resetting through itunes which works right up to the point where itunes states that it needs the passcode to be inputted into the ipad to connect to it. At which point it then sticks at the same progress bar point. HELP!! please, this ipad is really important to my work.

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

ITunes Store - Will not go beyond the dashed progress bar, will also freeze any outside Internet activity

Alright, I've read numerous discussions and have tried to find an answer and have come up with zilch. Here's what's happening:
I open iTunes, and it attempts to connect to the iTunes store (presumably to update the Cloud). When it does this, it remains on the dashed progress bar. While attempting to connect, it will also freeze any other Internet applications, specifically any pages open in my browser (Chrome). I'm not sure why this is, I haven't seen anything on that subject. However, if I click the (x) next to the progress bar to tell it to stop, it will do so and I can listen with ease. Now, I'd actually like to use the iTunes Store, but whenever I do, it never gets anywhere. I get the dashed progress bar, which on occassion will move on to the solid progress bar, but it will completely freeze from there. I have tried doing the winsock reset, looking for conflicting programs with LSP, reinstalling, updating, none work. After running the network connectivity diagnostics, iTunes determines that everything is good except that a secure link to the iTues store failed. This led me to believe that there was a firewall of sorts that was blocking it. After adding iTunes to the list of exceptions to Windows Firewall, the same results were thrown back at me. I do not have any other programs that would block it (that I know of).
Please help? I just want to buy an album all legal-like.

Hi there,
So it's sounds like you've already tried a majority of the main troubleshooting steps, but I would still recommend taking a look at some of the published troubleshooting found in the articles below.

How can I add a Progress bar to show the "render to JPG" progress?

Hi everyone, I have a button which renders my component to
JPG.
How can I attach a progress bar to show the progress of the
rendering?
<mx:Button label="render" click="renderasJPEG ()"/>
public function renderasJPEG( ):void
convertToImage( component001, new JPEGEncoder( 100));
private function convertToImage( object:IUICompon ent,
encoder:IImageEncod er):void
var base64string: String = ImageSnapshot. encodeImageAsBas
e64(
ImageSnapshot. captureImage( object, 72, encoder));
var variables:URLVariab les = new URLVariables( );
variables.encoded = base64string;
variables.type = "jpeg";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(" script_saveasima
ge.php");
request.method = "POST";
request.data = variables;
navigateToURL( request, "_blank");
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I would have thrown a prompt to the user in the renderasJpeg
function and removed it in last line of convertToImage function.
Isn't this what you want?
Hope this helps.

ITunes store won't load. The progress bar freezes at about 50% and I get nothing but a white screen.

I'm running iTunes 10.5 beta 7 but this issue has been happening since I was running 9. One day I clicked on a link for an app I saw on techcrunch and it pulled up in iTunes as being in the UK store. I clicked ok and my iTunes hasn't worked since. I can log into my account but can't access anything in the store or Ping. I've googled this issue and found some similar sounding stories but none of the solutions have worked. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, turned of the itunes store in parental settings and checked "except for iTunes U", I've uninstalled apple aplication suport and installed safari and every other option I have found and nothing has worked.
Sometimes if I let it sit long enough what looks like an unstyled version of the store comes up but is completely unusable.
Just to be clear, this has been happening since before I was running any beta software or OS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you gchin.
I emailed apple support and they got back to me, I did what he said and it's fixed! SOLUTION found- see below.
I said:
"I can't access the iTunes Store. When I click on it the progress bar stops at 50% and I'm left with a blank white screen (no error msg). I have uninstalled and reinstalled, run the iTunes diagnostics (it said all was ok), gone through all of the online help material and I've tried turning off my firewall. Nothing works. I can't sync my iphone either (stops on verifying iPhone so I think it's getting stuck on trying to contact the store). Plzz help."

What's happened to the Share Monitor or at least a progress bar in 10.0.6?

Previously when exporting using the Share menu, I either had a progress bar or the Share Monitor to show how my export was doing.
Now in 10.0.6 there appears to be neither of these items so I have no idea how long it will take.
Am I doing something wrong or have both these items disappeared?
If the latter, how do I estimate the time the export will take?

All exports in FCP X as of 10.0.6 are background processes, and GPU enbled so they are much, much faster.
Click the Background Process indicator in the Dashboard to see the progress there. Just like when you import files. The great news is, now you can contiue working while exporting is going on in the background.
See the Export Enhancements section of this review:

Why does the word "attaching" sometimes appear with a progress bar at the bottom of the woindow when I have not attempted to attach anything during composition

Occasionally, when composing and email, the word "Attaching" appears at the bottom of the window and a progress bar repeatedly sweeps as though a file is being attached, but I haven't tried to attach anything to the email.

Hi mark11111,
Does this happen when you are composing new emails, or when you are replying to emails?
Or both?
