Modify Learning Interactions properties panel

Hi there,
I was wondering if I can modify the parameter panel of a
Learning Interaction component to make it more user-friendly for a
Flash author? For example, I would like to change a single line
textfield to a multi-line textarea. Has anybody tried that and
could provide me with some direction and help?
Thanks,
Dan

Are you trying to assign the value from the array:
SessionArray[0].interaction_ID to your variable qresult?
If so, you're using the wrong operator symbol. "==" is a
comparison operator (it tests to see if something is equal to
something else and returns a "true" or "false")
To assign the value you'd do this: qresult =
SessionArray[0].interaction_ID; (note the single "=")
Then you can load the value of qresult into your text field
in a separate function called from your button event
handler.

Modifying components in learning interactions

I've created a multi-choice quiz, but now I want to be able to change the location and text color of the interactive messages that appear when the user takes the quiz.
I created the quiz by dragging the learning interaction component to the stage. Everything works beautifully. Just want to format and change the values of some of the properties, such as the location of the feedback text, the text color, etc. How do you do that?
Thanks for any help you can give me!

An update . . . I'm able to change the question text font, color and size using the values box in the properties of the component. However, I can't figure out how to format the options' values, as well as the feedback boxes. Specifically, for the feedback text boxes, I would like to change their placement.
Thanks so much for any pointers.

Lost drag and drop properties panel CP8

I developed a project in Captivate 7. It included some drag and drop interactions. I've upgraded to CP8 as we want to be able to release the training on mobile devices.
I have not set it up to be a responsive project at this point - I've not learned enough about how to do that.
I can create and edit new drag and drop interactions but as soon as I save them, close the file and reopen it, they are no longer editable. The drag and drop properties panel won't show up, the D&D outlines (blue and green) disappear, the D&D option in interactions is greyed out and I cannot edit the interaction at all. It still has the submit button in the corner and this cannot be deleted. There doesn't seem to be a way to edit the interaction at all.
When I go to close the file and save it, it tells me that it is a captivate 7 file and as soon as I save it, it won't open in Captivate 7 only 8. Save as just saves it as a Captivate file.
How can I work around this?

Drag&Drop would not work in responsive projects anyway.
Maybe this is due to the upgrade? And I suppose you are working in Newbie mode, where panels are controlled by Captivate? You could try in Expert mode (fourth option 'Enable...' in Preferences) because it will allow you to open the Drag&Drop panel from the Window menu.

Flash learning interactions, what am i doing wrong

Hi all
everytime after i modify and then save and publish a learning

Dave,
> I have a Flash 8 FLVPlayback component on stage, with
> an instance name of 'vid'. In a frame script I have:
>
> vid.setMedia("dd2.flv");
> vid.play();
The FLVPlayback class does not feature a setMedia() method,
that I can
see. According to the docs, FLVPlayback "wraps"
mx.video.VideoPlayer. Not
sure if that means "inherits," but assuming for sake of
argument that it
does, the VideoPlayer class does not faeture a setMedia()
method, either.
Unfortunately, the docs get a bit cryptic at this point, IMO.
The FLVPlayer
Component has a contentPath property, as you mentioned, but I
don't see the
same property in either of the aforementioned classes.
Perhaps something in the inheritance chain provides for a
FLVPlayback.setContent property. I see references to a
mx.video.NCManager
class, but can't seem to find that class reference anywhere.
If you can do without the FLVPlayer Component, you may just
want to use
a Video object to load your external FLV.

How Can I Remove Tabs That I Added in a Learning Interaction Widget?

Hello, I inserted a "Tabs" Learning Interaction widget into a Captivate 8 project I'm working on. Adding tabs is easy enough by simply hitting the plus button. But when I want to remove a tab, I can't for the life of me determine how. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

When you double-click on a Tab button in the Interaction Properties, you'll see a minus sign that will allow you to delete that tab. Beware: you need a minimum of at least 2 tabs, maximum is 5 tabs.

Defined rule not seen in Properties Panel

I am a novice, using DW CS5, trying to learn the 1 column liquid, centered, header and footer layout provided.
The following rule is seen in Code View, as well as in the CSS Panel:
ul, ol, dl { /* Due to variations between browsers, it's best practices to zero padding and margin on lists. For consistency, you can either specify the amounts you want here, or on the list items (LI, DT, DD) they contain. Remember that what you do here will cascade to the .nav list unless you write a more specific selector. */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
However, this rule is not available in the Properties Panel, as are the others to apply, e.g. .content.
I'm sure that the answer is simple, but it eludes me.
Thanks,
Sonny

Exactly what do you mean by "not available" in the Properties panel?
Are you looking at the HTML properties or CSS properties inspector?
And what are you trying to do with the list elements?
If you're trying to insert a list, use the HTML properties inspector and click on the bullet (unordered list) or numbered (ordered list) icon.

Inconsistent audio volumes with audio inserted via Properties panel and Audio menu

My course includes audio imported using the Audio menu (Import to Slide). On a few slides that have Captivate 6 Interactions, I had to include the audio using the Properties panel so the audio would play during the course of the entire slide and not pause when the Interaction appears.
The issue I'm having is, the audio inserted using the Audio menu plays at a lower volume than the audio inserted using the Properties panel. All audio files were recorded at the same time using Adobe Audition, so the volume level should be the same.

Yes, we are having the same issue, calling up a video on Netflix and having zero audio. Seemingly random, yet consistent. If we try the movie a week or month later, it still has no audio. We have a newer Television, have the HDMI cord, optical audio, state of the art. We're upgraded to the latest. So .....what's up Apple?

Symbol Properties panel not updating or refreshing

Y'all,
I'm running FW CS5 under Windows 7 Pro (64-bit), and my Symbol Properties panel has stopped updating when I select a symbol to modify. I have to close and re-open the Symbol Properties panel to force it to refresh.
If I have the panel open and select a symbol on the page, the panel remains blank.
If I have edited a symbol then deselected it, that symbol's properties remain visible in the Symbol Properties panel after the symbol is deselected.
If I have edited a symbol then select another symbol, the first symbol's properties remain visible in the panel and it does not update to show the properties of the newly selected symbol.
In all cases I must close and re-open the Symbol properties panel to force it to refresh and update.
I've also noticed two other peculiar refresh problems lately - when the rulers are visible and I either zoom in / zoom out on the document or change the application window size, the top ruler often vanishes. I have to minimize then maximize the Fireworks application window to force a refresh and get the rulers to re-appear.
Finally, the little document info boxes at the lower right corner of the canvas showing document size and zoom level often go blank or vanish when I either zoom in / zoom out on the document or change the application window size. I have to minimize then maximize the Fireworks application window to force a refresh and get the info boxes to re-appear.
It seems that the problem may be related to some larger Fireworks screen refresh problem. It did not behave this way when first installed - it began happening recently, and the only thing that has changed was a minor update to all of the CS5 design tools (including FW) about the way that image metadata is handled.
Is anyone else experiencing odd refresh errors? Is it possible that an extension could cause this?
Any help and advice would be appreciated, because it has become really cumbersome to use component symbols.
Thanks,
Dave

After digging around and looking at what has been updated or installed on my computer since these weird refresh problems began, I may have identified a possible cause.
Adobe installs the Java runtime with the Creative Suite (I'm not sure why, but it's there), and a few weeks ago the 1.6.20 update installed itself, but it failed multiple times before installing, then Windows 7 informed me that a component was improperly installed with the incorrect privileges. Last night the 1.6.21 update installed itself without any errors, and this morning Fireworks seems to be working normally again.
I'll keep monitoring FW for weird refresh problems, and if they return I'll post an update. It is possible that the 1.6.20 update broke something that was fixed by the 1.6.21 update.
Can anyone tell me why the CS programs require Java and what it is used for?
Thanks,
Dave

Main Properties panel's width

I've notice that in Fireworks 8, the main properties panel's
width extends
under the side panels, where in fireworks mx 2004,
dreamweaver 8 + under,
and flash 8 + under, all have the main properties panel just
in the middle
column under the canvas (assuming you are using the default 3
column
interface layout). This creates a problem because its now
wasted space and I
can't have as many side panel open at one time because of
this.
So the question is, is there a file I can change or modify,
maybe even take
a file from fireworks mx 2004, to make the width of the main
properties
panel stay in the middle column like its suppose to?

Hi Charles,
Here is how to reset the user defined settings (window sizes, which windows are open) in the registry.
You should make a backup of your windows registry before making any changes...
1). Close Xcelsius down.
2). Run regedit.
3). Navigate to and delete this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Xcelsius\Settings
4). Then start Xcelsius and you should be good to go again.
I'm not sure what causes this but for me it sometimes happens when I am running Xcelsius and I change windows screen resolution, then have been into and out of preview mode, not all the time though...
If you can help me figure out some simple steps to reproduce it we can log the bug and hopefully get it fixed in the future...
Regards,
Matt

Custom properties panel

Is it possible to create or modify a properties panel in DW
MX 2004? I
use PHP and my form fields all have their value set by a
function, and
their class set the same way (the CSS for a field with an
error is
different than one w/o any errors). So a text input looks
like:
<input name="First_Name" type="text" class="<?php echo
setClass('First_Name') ?>" value="<?php echo
getVal('First_Name') ?>"
What I would like to do is modify the templates for edit
dialog so that
I don't have to do so much cut-n-paste. Ideally it would
automatically
enter the <?php echo getVal('') ?> into the value
attribute, and read
the value of the name attribute into the getVal() call.
Bill

only if you made them components could you assign custom properties using a panel.

Fw CS5 Properties Panel question

Can I control the way the PROPERTIES PANEL titles my internal pages in the pull down LINK menu? The problem is, by default, all my internal pages are named with their extensions capitalized, ex: ".HTML" (please see the attached .png) I can not link to these pages when in "View Page/All Pages in Browser" mode until I manually change the link's extension to ".htm" It took me several days, of mind-numbing searching and going over past tutorials/videos, to come to the realization that this was the cause of my inability to preview properly in a browser. I was never able to find info that discussed this problem.
I'm a newbie, so possibly I skipped a very important tip early in my learning process.
Please help - thanks

Thanks folks... I figured it out. The answer was in the OPTIONS side menu of the EXPORT menu.

Dreamweaver not displaying properties panel

I am having trouble getting my properties panel to display its options. I have it there, but it keeps always saying that I need to refresh the code to get it back, but otherwise the panel is blank. I can go to the properties under modify and properties, but it's quicker if I have access to it on the Dreamweaver interface. I am on a Macbook running 10.9.2. Is there an issue that's keeps it from refreshing in the OS? Or did I do something to have it do this?

If you change some code in Code View, you need to either hit F5 or click in Design View to get the inspector's options back.

Workspace - Properties Panel

.... but this is a very "newbie" question!!
I just downloaded the Dreamweaver CS5 (Trial) and am getting a "feel" for how it works. I've been using Frontage 2003 for years (don't laugh).
I want to display a text-edit type toolbar on my workspace. I see there is a "Properties Panel" but it does not have all the commands I am use to, like; center-text, left-text ..... that sort of stuff.
Is there a way to modify the Properties Panel to add commands, or is there a "Text Toolbar" that I can add to my workspace?
Thanks for help!!

Back in the day there used to be such option(s) but it really produced bad HTML code (not compliant with the latest HTML standards) so Adobe removed these "features" for the sake of better web development. Instead you should use CSS to style your document. If you're not very familiar with HTML and CSS, now is a great time. Dreamweaver really rewards those who are familiar with the underlying medium and can really punish those who don't.

Learning Interactions in Flash Professional CS4

I have installed the Learning Interactions extension in Flash Professional CS4, but it does not operate correctly. First, it tells me to edit a given interaction in Windows>Panels>Clip Parameters, which as far as I can tell no longer exists.
When I double click right on the clip to edit it, not all fields are editable. and ActionScript 3.0 is having fits with these interactions, giving me a list of Warnings in the Output tab.
I realize these are old interactions, are they still usable? They seem better behaved in an ActionScript 2.0 document, but I still can't edit them. And I cant find newer versions of the extension.
Any input or assistance would be appreciated. I am a returning Flash user, having not used the app in a few years.
Doug

Hi,
Pls let me know if you managed to solve this problem with the learning interactions in CS4. I am running the demo of CS5 (and doubt very much that I will upgrade after this and issues with the help) and have downloaded and installed the learning interactions, but cant seem to get them to work. As you described, I cant find Windows>Panels etc and even though I opened a AS2 file I still get loads of AS errors when trying to run the interactions.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
