Menu Builder for Captivate 4 anyone???

Just a quick question. Can't seem to find the menu builder in the lastest version of Captivate. Quite easy with the previous version. I have looked up the online help but it's not being very helpful...no surprise there - it keeps sending me to a search page of the adobe site.
I have 4 movies that I wish to combine together with a menu builder so the user can select which part they wish to play or select the 1st and have it play through all of the subsequent 4 clips (kind of like a DVD movie menu if you think about it).
Any easy solutions?
Thank you in advance.

Hi there
MenuBuilder is not included in Captivate 4. Instead, you have the Aggregator.

Menu Builder for Captivate 4

Hello!
I just downloaded the Captivate 4 and I'm trying to find the
Menu Builder. Does Captivate 4 still have that piece of
functionality?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Welcome to our community, Kevin
I believe MenuBuilder disappeared with this version. I'm
guessing that because Captivate now has a built in menuing
functionality and they are providing the aggregator with Captivate
4, they decided to drop MenuBuilder.

Annoucement: New Menu Wizard for Captivate

I'd like to announce our latest product release - the
Menu Wizard for Adobe Captivate
The
Menu Wizard is a 3rd-party software product that integrates
directly into published Adobe Captivate movies. The
Menu Wizard is a Flash movie that provides a dynamic menu -
a series of buttons that navigates to slides you specify within
your published Adobe Captivate movies. This is a frequently
requested feature for Captivate - and is often discussed here in
the Forums.
The
Menu Wizard uses a .XML file read the menu content and
settings. You can configure many options, including the number of
menu buttons, button text, background colors (up/over), font, font
size, font color (up/over), border width and color, drop shadow,
button size (height,width), location, horizontal/vertical layout,
transparency, and menu header options. The product is distributed
as an InstallShield release (setup.exe), with all the necessary
files, an example movie and menu, and a 19 page Instruction Guide
(.PDF) document.
The product website
Menu Wizard
Homepage contains detailed information about the product,
example movies, and FAQs.
July 23 Update: I've added a 15% discount throught August 6
for Adobe Forum users. Use the coupon code

Dirk, the Menu Wizard does not have a feature to
restrict users from going to various sections (slides) until
they have visited other sections (slides).
However, you might be able to accomplish this by 1) using
some creative branching or 2) breaking your project up into
separate movies - 1 for each section. At the end of section 1 -
there is a Click Box or Button that will launch section 2. In this
case, the Menu Wizard would be used for navigation within 1 movie
(section) at a time.

Menu Builder

Hello out there!
I need help and fast. I created an online simulation for our
distance education students. I created a menu builder for a CD
version of our simulations. I published it and linked it to the
menu. I worked well. However, I burned the project to a CD ROM. The
menu opens without difficultiy; however, when I link to any of the
simulations I receive a strange message error which I cannot read,
but the the file does not open.
Can anyone out there assist me with this dilema--I'm pressed
for times due to a last minute request.
Thanks!
Liz_T

Hi Liz_T
Let me guess. The error message you see probably simply says
F?
If this is the case, this would indicate that the MenuBuilder
output file can't locate the files it is linking to. Normally, this
can be overcome by making sure you create
relative links and not
absolute links in MenuBuilder.
If you create an absolute link, MenuBuilder expects to find
the files it is linking to in the same exact location each time.
For example:
C:\MyFiles\MyProjects\MenuBuilder\MyMenuBuilderProject. Links like
this will work just dandy on your PC when you test, but will fail
miserably when you send it off. This is because your users likely
don't have the same folder structure.
If you create a relative link, things are much better. One
way to help ensure you create relative links is to edit the
properties of the links in MenuBuilder. In the link properties,
click the check box labeled: "Save file with project". Once you do
this, make sure there is no path information showing in the "Link"
field. If so, remove it so all you see is the file name you are
linking to.
Give that a go and see if things are better.
Cheers... Rick

HT201210 I am trying to update my iPhone but it seems that I have to many photos and music because I received the following message: The iPhone could not be updated; this device is not elegible for the requested build. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You have to delete the corrupt back-up so iTunes can at least back-up the current data on the iPhone and then restore it. Search these forums, there a several good posts on how to delete the corrupt back-up.

Flash learning interaction and Course Builder for CC products?

Hi all, Could anyone advise me where I could get extension Flash learning interaction for Flash CC and Course Builder for Dreamweaver CC? Sometimes their use and after stopping the development of eLearning Suite I anywhere on the Adobe site found these extensions.
Thanks for any response.
Yarik

You would be better advised to ask these questions on the Flash or Dreamweaver forums. This is the Adobe Captivate forum.

Links to exe and back to menu builder not working

I have read through all of the messages in the Forum and have
seen similar questions on this topic but no actual answers for this
precise situation. I apologize if I've just missed it. I'm fairly
new to Captivate and am using version 2. I am building a project
that will have 15 - 20 standalone .exe files.
This client is one of of the very few that does not have
Flash Player and will not due to security reasons. We will publish
and play from a DVD/CD.
The problem -
I need to have a course menu to link to each exe and then
link back from each exe to the main menu.
I have built a sample menu builder and exported it as an exe.
The links to the other files from this main menu work; however, I
cannot get the links in the separate exe files to access the main
menu exe (i.e. menu builder file). I either get a blank browser
window or other url window, or nothing happens and the screen just
stays there. The same thing will happen if I'm using the menu in
the skins feature.
I have ensured that all my files are in the same folder. I
have variations on the link, such as "relative" links as suggested
(i.e., removing path information and including only the file name).
I'm not sure Captivate Player will help because it sounds
like that is more for Web applications.
Please help!
Thanks

Hi Don
Sure thing. The weird part of this is that it will require
using both MenuBuilder and Captivate to accomplish it. As you have
seen, Captivate likes to open things by feeding into HTTP. So
often, you wish to open a Word Document or a .PDF and you see a
browser open. The bizarre part of all this, is that if you look at
the address bar of the browser that opens, the path and filename
are correct! You click there and press Enter and by golly it loads
up. Go figure.
So here goes.
1. Note the exact file name you wish to open. Perhaps
"Menu.EXE".
2. Open MenuBuilder and create a new totally blank project.
3. Set your width and height by clicking Options > Project
Options. I think the smallest you can go is 320 wide and 200 high.
4. Click Insert > Clickbox.
5. For the link part, just type "Menu.EXE" (or whatever you
noted in step 1) Note that you should not enter any path. JUST the
file name. You might also click to place a check mark in the "Save
file with project" check box, just to be on the safe side.
6. Export the project as a Flash SWF.
7. Close MenuBuilder and open your Captivate project.
8. Edit the slide where your user will click to open the .EXE
and click Insert > Animation...
9. Insert the .SWF you created using MenuBuilder. Position it
over where you wish your user to click.
10. Publish your Captivate and test the link.
In case it will help, I've got a zip containing all the files
so you can see them in action (I included the source). No cloak and
dagger with this next part, just conserving bandwidth, as I'm
limited with this service and I don't wish everyone and their
brother to use it all up just looking to see. Shoot me an E-Mail
message to captiv8r (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and I'll send you a
link to download the files for you to play with.
Hopefully something here is helpful... Rick

*sigh* can't build for ad-hoc :-(

Hello, all ...
I'm trying to build for ad-hoc, and i'm meeting with failure again and again. When I try to select the distribution profile that I created for ad-hoc, it does not show up in the menu -- a long hex number shows up instead. I've followed the distribution build instructions to the letter as far as I can tell, but this just refuses to work.
I've quit XCode ...
I've cleared out ~/Library/MobileDevices/Provision Profiles ...
I've verified that the ad-hoc distribution profile has the correct app ID ...
I've re-downloaded the profiles ...
I've dragged them to the XCode icon in the dock and verified that they show up in the organizer window for the connected device ...
I've checked said profiles in aforementioned organizer window ...
I've duplicated the release target as "Distribution" in the project info window ...
I've set the build target to distribution ...
I've changed "iPhone Developer: John Zorko" to "iPhone Distribution: John Zorko" in the target info window (I even verified in Keychain Access that that is what the certificate says) ...
I try to select the ad-hoc distribution profile (step 6 in the ad-hoc distribution build instructions) ...
... and what shows up instead of my profile is that long hex number. Time and again. Can anyone give me an indication as to why that hex number shows up, instead of my ad-hoc profile i.e. what step I did wrong, and how I can fix it?
Regards,
John

Alas, I finally did it. I didn't need to drag to iTunes -- XCode worked, but the ad-hoc profile wasn't set up correctly in the program portal. Once I fixed that, cleared everything out and started over, it worked. Wow, though -- so many steps; quite unwieldy imho.
Regards,
John

Problems with "Open other project" in menu builder

Hi everyone,
I have a series of projects that I want to link together
using the menu builder of the "Skin Editor" dialog.
I create my menu items, and for each item choose "Open other
project" in the "On click" dropdown. I then choose the project that
I want the menu item to open. For this example, lets say I chose a
project named "Viewing_Patients"
However, when I publish the project, run it, and then use the
menu to open the next project, it just opens up a browser window
trying to access the URL "
http://Viewing_Patients.htm/
Why is that?
To check my sanity, I created a Click Box in one of the
project's slide where I chose the exact same configuration - "Open
other project" for the "On success" dropdown, and the
"Viewing_Patients" project as the project to open when the box is
clicked.
And this works fine (it opens the "Viewing_Patients" project)
Why is my menu failing but not my click box?
Thanks very much in advance for any help!

Hello Slothrop206,
Try the following steps:
1) Change your Action to be "Open URL or file"
2) Key in the relative URL to the movie you are attempting to
link. If it is in the same directory, simply key in the file name
of the .swf you are attempting to load.
3) Publish and test.
Let us know if this works for you.

TF215097: An error occurred while initializing a build for build definition : Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel

Hello,
We are facing an issue when triggering a new build using TFS 2013 Update 4, VS2013 Update 4 using TFVCTemplate.12.XAML template. All our other older build definitions just work fine but not the TFVCTemplate.12.XAML. It seems to me that some certificate
might be invalidated. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Hi Mitul,
Thanks for your reply.
It’s strange, if your old build definitions can work using the same TFS Build Server, that indicate your TFS Server configuration is correct and can works. But only new build definition with default TfvcTemplate.12.xaml template cannot build successful.
Please share your TFS Server detailed environment information here. And share your
Build Service Properties dialog screenshot here.
Try to clean the Cache for TFS 2013 manually(delete the content of the folder only, not the cache folder itself):
Clean the Cache folder on Server machine. The folder path is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 12.0\Application Tier\Web Services\_tfs_data.
After cleaned, on Server machine, click Start and select
Run… to open the dialog box, then input iisreset.exe and click OK, wait it run completely.
Additionally, you can run the TFS 2013 Power Tools BPA to scan the installation of your TFS Server.

How to do subtemplate Using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2

Is it possible to do subtemplate (similar to subreport in crystal report) using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2?. If yes, can anyone explain how to call or import subtemplate from main template?
Thank you
V.Piraba

Hi V. Piraba,
Here is how it works for me in Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure if it will work in Word 5.6.2.
Creating Subtemplates
1) Make sure you fill in the “Territory” field when creating Subtemplates. Otherwise there will be no way to import the Subtemplate into another Template. The Import command requires the Territory field to call it from other Templates. You will get a big Java error if you try to import a Subtemplate that does not have the Terriroty field populated.
Importing Subtemplates
1) Place the following syntax at the beginning of your XML Publisher template to import a subtemplate (in Oracle Applications)
<?import:xdo://XDO.[Template Code Name].English.US?>
Example: <?import:xdo://XDO.WC_SUBTEMPLATE_LOGOS.English.US?>
2) Use the following commands to importing Subtemplates from local/network drives (outside of Oracle Applications):
<?import:file:C:/Temp/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import:file:L://Templates/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import: file:///C:WorkChemical.xsl?>
You can email me at [email protected] if you have further questions.
Hope this helps!

Internet Explorer 8 and Menu Builder Links

We just installed Internet Explorer 8 and the links from Menu
Builder are no longer working. They will work in IE 7, and Firefox.
Any ideas? Is anyone else having this problem?

Hi there
Before attempting to answer this I'd like to know exactly how
you published the MenuBuilder output. Did you use the Flash output,
the HTML or the EXE?
Cheers... Rick

STOPWATCH WIDGET FOR CAPTIVATE 4

Can anyone tell me how to create a stopwatch or timer widget for Captivate 4?

You don't really have to construct a widget to do that. There are two easy ways to achieve this.
1. Make a textbox and use the $$cpInfoElapsedTimeMS$$ Captivate system variable to show the elapsed time since the project was started. It displays the time in miliseconds, but you could just make a rectangle in the same color as your background color and then cover up the miliseconds part of the text box. That way only the seconds will show. Remember to right-align the text in your text box.
2. Provided that you have Flash and can use it you could make a simple flash file which reads the cpInfoElapsedTimeMS variable from Captivate - strips away the miliseconds and display the result in a dynamic text box.

Can't create a silent install package for Captivate 7 with AAMEE

I'm trying to create a silent install package for Captivate 7. It doesn't appear that this works with AAMEE. Has anyone been able to do this? If it won't be possible with AAMEE, is there a way to do it with cmd line switches?

Hi,
You would need to use Adobe Creative Cloud Packager to create a deployment package and deploy Captivate 7 as AAMEE does not supports Captivate 7.
Please refer the documentation available at - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager.html
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sharad
P.S - Creative Cloud Packager would be deployed under your Adobe LWS account. In case you do not have it available in LWS, then please P.M me your email address and I will get that processed.
Regards,
Sharad
