Menu slide problem (and final slide)

Hi
Am sure these two are dead easy but I am struggling !
I have some captivate projects on our intranet and have url links to them all. What I have been asked to do is just build a menu for them from which each one can be launched. Basically this is one slide with 8 click boxes over the respective title of each module - each click box launches the url of each of the existing modules
My problems are :
i) how do I stop this my slide progressing when a menu item is selected. I basically want it to be stagnant and stay on screen but when you click one of the boxes it moves on !!
ii) how on the final slide of each of the launched modules can I get the project to close eg once that closes you will see the original menu slide already open.
Hope this makes sense !
thanks in advance

Why don't you just set the Action for the end of your movies to point back to the Menu project HTM file again. If your menu project is the same screen size as your movies, you won't need to worry about closing down your movies. They'll just terminate and open the Menu again. You also won't need to worry about the pausing behaviour on your Menu slide.
If you should for some reason prefer to have the Menu project open in its own window and stay on that slide no matter how many times the links are clicked, then I would suggest you get the Event Handler Widget: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/catalog/widgets/interactive/wdgt_event_handler_01
You can set Preferences on this widget to over-ride the normal pausing behaviour of Interactive objects. It allows you to turn any caption or image into an interactive object that will fire an action (e,g, Open URL or File) when clicked.
If you prefer the look and feel of a hyperlink in a Captivate project, get the Hyperlink widget, and attach the Event Handler to it so that when the hyperlink is clicked you fire the action to open the movie. (Hyperlink widget doesn't as yet have the extra preferences to over ride pausing so you might still need to use the Event Handler for that advantage.)

I just completed a keynote presentation, but it will not "play"...I just get a blank slide (probably the final slide) when I hit the play button, even though I can see all the slides are in the list and will open as I click on them. HELP!

I just completed a keynote presentation but it will not "Play". I can see the slides are in place, but all that comes to the screen when I hit the play arrow is the last, blank, slide. HELP!

At the risk of stating the obvious, is your first slide highlighted before you hit play? You mentioned the last blank slide shows up which could mean you have that last slide highlighted. If the last slide is highlighted and you hit play then that is the slide that will show up and if it's your last slide that is all you will see.
Make sense?

Slide numbers and Quiz slides in Captivate 8

How do I add slide numbers to Captivate?
Also, in my course, I need to add quiz questions and then final test questions. Quiz questions are not added into the final score, but final test would be tabulated into the final course score.
How do I do this? (I noticed that with survey questions, there is not a review page to show the correct answer. Survey questions also seem to still be included in graded question score reporting.)
Any guidance would be much appreciated!
Thank you

There are several system variables available. I have upgraded my list for CP8 and will publish it soon. But those you need are already in a post about CP6: System variables in Captivate 6 - Captivate blog
For slide number you need cpInfoCurrentSlide, which starts with 1 (most numbering starts with 0). Insert that var in a text container, using the X button in the Style tab of the properties panel,
the Character portion.
As for the Quiz question: you can uncheck to include a score in the Quiz total. Advanced Interaction panel (F9) is a good place to check all scored objects, and to see whether they are included in the Quiz total or not. Most quizzing system variables will adapt to the situation, score and percentage, maximum possible score will not take into account the questions that are not adding their score to the total score. However some variables will include the knowledge questions: total number of questions is one of them. This means that you have probably to tweak the score slide, to create a score slide yourself. Check the same list with system variables to create a custom score slide. Maybe this blog post can help, although the subject is bit different: Intermediate Score Slides - Captivate blog
Another approach would be pretest slides, but it has a lot of limitations: navigation will disappear, pretest slides have to be together at start of the course.

TS1424 i get an error code of 1004 when i try to purchase music and says itunes is having a problem and try again later... Help

Can anyone help?

Try this and see if it works for you.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data/Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Slide Open and Close Menu

Hello,
I am trying in vane to code a menu to slide open revealing a
photo. I am really having trouble coding the different variables
depending on if the menu buttons are "opened" or
"closed" and how the various buttons relate.
The file is located
http://www.tallentsmith.com/slidingmenutest.fla.zip
or you can see a pic of what I am talking about here:
http://www.tallentsmith.com/menutest.jpg
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Sage

It's impossible to tell what you want to accomplish from your
sample file. I'm guessing that each of those diagonal tabs will be
a movieClip that will slide out to show a photo, and that you want
each to slide out, and any previous tab to slide back in.
If any of this is correct, then one solution is to put the
instance names of each clip into an array. Then you can write a
function that will play the selected movieClip and close any open
clip. Here's an example:

Next and Previous slide from Flash Menu

We are currently tasked with updating SAP training that was
created with OnDemand software. The current simulations have a
Javascript menu on each screen which provides various functions
including moving from current slide to next or previous slides.
When the existing movie is played and captured, we lose the
javascript menu functionality.
I have created a Flash Menu and have imported it to the newly
captured Captivate movie. All links on the menu work except Next
Slide and Previous slide.
The script I use for the button for the Next slide is as
follows:
this.next_btn.onRelease =function(){
this._parent._parent..nextFrame();
Also I have tried substituting for nextFrame "play" and for
the target path "_root" for the first "_parent."
The variables "rdcmndNextFrame" and "rdcmndPrevious" do not
work unless you are using a playback bar, which detracts from the
simulation.
Has anyone ever created this type of functionality? It seems
that it would be straight forward. It is most likely a target path
issue. The captivate movie is the container for the flash menu. To
access the captivate movie timeline and move to the next or
previous slide is what I really need.
Help!

I resolved the issue by selecting to use a playback bar and
then in the Flash file setting the visibility of the playback bar
to "0".

Has anyone else had this problem, or found a solution?
If you refresh the page and start over, the problem doesn't happen. But on the first page load it always seems to happen.
Here is a link to the module I am working with. If you let the video play for a couple seconds on the first slide, and then click a navigation link to another slide, you will still hear the audio from the first slide playing.

To clarify - this happens in both IE and Chrome, and is the Flash version of the content.

If the screen appears zoomed in then try double-tapping the screen with 3 fingers (with zoom 'on' you need to use 3 fingers to drag around the screen), and then go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn Zoom 'off', and possibly also change what Triple-Click Home is set to.

Finally upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6; what should I do about drivers for photo printer and Nikon slide scanner?

Finally upgrading to 10.6 from 10.5.8. What do I need to do about drivers for my epson photo printer and nikon slide scanner? May be going all the way to 10.8.

I suggest you determine if compatible drivers are available either in the OS X drivers package or directly from the manufacturer. The following has a link for application compatibility. You can check this, too:
OS X- Printer and scanner software available for download
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.

My ipod is showing an "activation required" message on my home screen and the slider to unlock it is not working. I've had it for 2 years and had no problems and then it randomly locked up on me and won't let me do a reset. Any way to fix this?

I haven't been able to use my ipod for a month because its stuck on a screen that says "Activation Required" and the slider to unlock it is unresponsive. I've drained the battery and recharged it, I've tried resetting it. When I try opening it in iTunes it tells me its unable to access it because the iPod is locked with a passcode, which I can't enter on my iPod because the slider is unresponsive. Any help?

next thing i would think of is to ask bestbuy apple retailer or bestbuy pple to help u out from here bc im not sure what to do next if u cant get it into dfu mode.
all i can think of is to hold home and power for 30 seconds in the meantime of showing the apple sign at least once or twice.
either that, home and power flashes once and 1/2 sec later release power while holding home still and plug it in wihout trying to let go the home button. dont even let go until itunes says somthing remotly saying anything ...lol

Problem with my iPod touch: Frozen screen, unable to access anything as slider does not work, will not accept a full restore. Apple Store advised that it is a 'hardware' problem and I could trade-in!

I am a relatively 'new' user. Touch was a gift, I used it in a simplistic way - listened to music took a few photos, added a few calendar events. After a year I then decided to be more proactive and found a few free apps (Solitaire) - then had a the frozen screen problem which I though was connected to low battery, but it wasn't. I recharged it, still could not access, then tried a full restore and got an error message. Took it to a Genius Bar and was told it was a hardware problem and as it is out of warranty I could trade in or just buy a different product. As this is my first Apple product is this usual? Do Apple products have a very short shelf life - I anticipated that it would last me longer than a year! Has anyone else had this problem? Was it able to be resolved? Or is it worth trying to get it repaired - and if so who can do it - Apple Store did not offer that to me as an option?

Sure sounds like a hardware problem. It happens some times. The iPod is just an electrical device.
Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for this price. Apple does not repair your iPod.

A third-party place like the following maybe less expensive. Google for more places.
