Mouse Click to Advance
I am just starting out with Captivate. I want for the user to
control the advance/forward by using their mouse. Is this
possible?
First of all, i couldn't figure out how to advance the slide
with the use of the mouse. so i chose the spacebar as the select
key. i used the following settings: on success--continue; allow
user--one; select keys--space bar; apply settings--all. the
settings-all didn't seem to have any effect. on the slides i worked
on individually, here are the issues i ran into: slide continued to
play for a long time before advancing to the next slide, needed to
press space bar multiple times before slide advanced, clicking
button on screen to advance (the one i created with the click box)
did not seem to have any effect. right now, the show is playing by
itself. my goal is to slow it down so the user has control over
when to advance to the next slide.

Ctrl + Mouse Click to Advance - Possible?
In the course I'm working on, I want the user to select several options from a list and it uses typical Windows behavior - the user would click and hold ctrl and left mouse click each option. When I recorded the screen in Captivate 7, the dialogue box states this instruction but when I test it, i can advance by only using the mouse. Is there a way to force the user to use both the ctrl key and mouse to advance or else get a failure caption?

How do I set my project to advance to next slide on mouse click vs just play?
Captivate 6 on mac running OS 10.7.5 file format in question .htm (firefox)
I'm brand new to Captivate 6 (never used it before) I have put together a mock presentation from scratch which has a few introductory slides then a quiz. When I publish it there is a "play" button which is NOT the behavior I want.
I watched a training video from Lynda.com and the insstructor imported a PPT file, there was a dialog box which asked the how to advance slide, there was a drop down menu and one of two options was advance "on mouse click". This is the behavior I'm looking for.
I've scoured the internet and forums etc to find a comparable option elsewhere in Captivate 6 when creating from scratch vs importing from PPT and cannot find one anywhere. I've also read that you can insert a click box object and that that would do what I'm looking for but that doesn't work either.
Does any such option exist and if so where/ how do I get to it/ use it. Please see attachments below. First screen shot is the first slide I get which isn't the first slide either, what's up with that? Next one is simply to show how the project just "plays" instead of advancing slide by slide. Third is my publish dialog box. Bottom line I don't want a "play" button I want the user to mouse click next, next, next etc. How do I do this?
Thank you for any help or suggestions!Maybe I understand something wrongly, but thought you also wanted to know how you can make slides advance on clicking the Next button instead of having it playing on automatically? And instead of using the playbar you want to have a Previous and Next button?
The way imported PPT with advance on Mouse click works is because there is a click box added to each slide that pauses that slide at its end. The user has to click on the slide to advance.
A click box is an 'interactive' object: this means that you can have it pausing the slide, that the user can interact with it and trigger an action like 'Go to Next Slide'.
You added (from what I see on the last screenshot) another interactive object, but now I'm confused: the third screenshot has a Prev and Next arrow, I think those are shapes. You do not need to add a click box on top of them (what I see on the last screenshot), they can be converted themselves into buttons. I blogged a lot about those shape buttons. Anyway, both click box and shape button can pause the slide. This is the case by default for click boxes (at the end of their duration, their timeline), for shape buttons you have to tell them to pause in the Timing accordion. In your case I certainly would choose a shape button because they can be put on a master slide, or timed for the rest of the project whereas Click boxes need to be unique on each slide, you'l have a lot of copy/paste to do then. In the Action accordion, On Success you choose the action, I think in this case you want 'Go to Next Slide' for the Next 'thing'
As for the first screenshot, Rod explained that you cannot get rid of the play button for pdf output, but you can have a poster image instead of the blank screen. There is a folder icon in Preferences, Project, Start and End when you deselect AuotPlay.
Here is a link to an article where I explain shape buttons:
http://lilybiri.posterous.com/why-i-like-shape-buttons-captivate-6
There is an on-demand webinar as well on the Adobe site which I presented, only about shape buttons.

I do presentations in PP10. I am new to macair, and used to Windows. HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"? I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back. The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box. I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC. How do I do it with the Mac????
Thanks
hacmdHi Rod,
As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project. -
Want CP4 project to play like a "movie" - i.e. no mouse click by user to advance. How?
I recorded a simple 2 minute, 7 slide project. I want the project to play more like a "movie", meaning I don't need the user to "click" to advance to the next slide. So, no breaks, just play the project from slide 1 to slide 7. How can I make this happen. Was looking into slide properties (on slide enter and on slide exit), but nothing seems to make it work the way I want.
Any thought?Hello,
When you turned the PPT to a CP-file, which settings did you choose? You can have 'Automatic' or 'waiting for user clicks' (I'm not sure about the phrasing but you should recognize this). I presume that you choose the second option. Then the 'movie' will indeed wait for a user click.

Mouse Clicks/Positons in Pictures!
Even a guru learns new things...
I just discovered the use of a picture control/indicator to detect mouse positions and clicks! What a wonderful thing. I have LabVIEW 6.0.2, and have, up to now, not known about this. To all those out there who I recommended to use the mouse click API for Windows, I apologize. This is such a marvelous way to get Mouse information. It's easy, efficient, and completely held within LabVIEW.
If anyone is wondering what I am talking about, go to Help>Examples in LabVIEW and go to the Examples>Advanced Examples>Picture Control Examples>Mouse Control.vi to see what I mean. I didn't realize that if you dropped a picture control (even as an invisible object!) on the front panel that you could use prop
erty nodes to get x and y positions, and also the left, right, shift left or right, and third mouse button click information.
Of course, I hear that this may all be somewhat obsolete in LabVIEW 6.1, but for those still using 6.01 or earlier, it's a great tool that means you don't have to mess with API, MFC or dlls.
Any comments or questions?Hi,
This is ideal for some applications, you can even build drag/drop functions
into a picture control using this. But there are some backdraws (or one very
big one);
The picture control needs to be the control on front.
The picture control needs to cover the entire area you need information on.
This implies that normal functions of controls and indicators cannot be
used, not even simply clicking on a button...
It also makes the screen updates take a lot more proccessor time, because
controls/indicators are overlapping. In the example for instance, the charts
are not clear to read, because they're flickering.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Mouse clicks blocked improperly when stage resizes
Hi everyone,
Been working on this for a while with no success. would really appreciate your help.
We have the following issue: 1 main flex application is loading another flex application swf using a swfloader placing the child app in the same security domain, but in separate application domains from the parent. There is an '...allowDomain(*)' between the apps and the stage scaling is set to no scaling.
The problem is that when the stage is resized (window size increases or it goes to fullscreen) the child app 'grows' a large invisible area that blocks mouse clicks from reaching the parent app. This area far exceeds the child app's width & height and can be seen only when doing 'right-click' --> 'show redraw regions'. When scaling the window slowly back to the original stage size that the flash player started out with, those areas grow smaller and eventually disappear. If i load the child app when the main app stage size (window size) is already very big (or in fullscreen), this issue does NOT appear.
Thanks in advance,
UriSounds like a bug. If you have a simple test case, please file a bug.

Hello!
I have a JTable. I added a mouse listener to it! The problem is that I cannot count the mouse clicks correctly!
I have:
mouseClicked(... e){
e.getClickCount()
but I only get 1 click, despite the double click I made!
Does the table mouse listener erases the preceding event and never gets to count the second click? I got the behaviour of two single clicks!
THANKS in advance!
Rui Vale... the the milli between the events... if they are say 40 milli or less the action is a double click...if not restart the chronometer...You can use other listener to...it depends on what you want to do!

At runtime, can it be determined if multiple overlapping objects/layers exist beneath a mouse click?
Hi folks - total nube here. I am trying to find out whether I can determine if multiple objects exist beneath a usr's mouse click coordinates. The objects will be either shaded areas under a LineSeries in a chart or possibly overlayed images representing such areas (not sure which approach would be better). I know that I can probably determine alebraically whether the coordinates selected b a mouse click belong under one series or another or multiple and if this is the best option, then I will proceed with it. But possibly, there is a way for me to determine whether a shaded area under a series or a grpahical element exists under those coordinates. Any hints? Thanks in advance.
Yes, export it for your reference first. make it delete and create new one.
hope it should work fine.
thx

Right mouse click in word for mac
i just bought a g-5 intel core duo and i love it. though i am an experienced mac user this is my first time with the mighty mouse and i miss the right mouse click when i am in word for mac (2004): with my old mouse i could right mouse click on a word and get immediately into the thesaurus/dictionary, whereas with the one-click mighty mouse i have to go to tools, then thesaurus or dictionary, which takes several clicks. is it possible to program the mighty mouse so that i can get with one click to the thesaurus dictionary? thanks in advance. mmvski from amsteram
Are you trying to do this in Word for Mac or Word for Windows?
The Mighty Mouse buttons can be programmed on Mac OS X using Apple menu --> System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse.
On Windows go to Start --> Control Panels --> Mouse.
Hope this helps! bill

Hi, I have the following code so far, and when run in conjunction with other classes it creates a carousel feature.
When you click and hold on the carousel and drag up or down, the carousel moves in the relevant direction.
I am trying to change this click and drag, so instead when you click one of the polygons (which represent up and down arrows), the carousel moves up or down depending on which you click.
Can anyone help with this?!
Thanks very much!

}Here is the Apple document covering Magic Mouse faults. Symptom number 6 seems the one to check out. Is this a longstanding or a recently developed fault?
And, of course, is it still under the 12 month warranty.
One thing to pay particular attention to is the proximity of electronic items such as cradles for phones and the like which if active, can interfere with the signal.
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues -
Hi, id firstly like to begin by saying i am only learning Labview at the minute so i appeal for some patience,
I have done the relevant searchers also but i am unable to find an answer to my question.
Ok i am using a 17.5" resistive touchscreen to track the path of a ball which is placed on the screen..I want the screen to communicate the x-y co-ordinates to an x-y graph on the front panel of my program. In my attemp at doing this i have used a previous labview example which uses a mouse click event structure. However this means the touchscreen acts as a second mouse. My problem is that the touchscreen is not communicating with the graph directly as it is controlling the entire pc screen meaning it can interfere with the program.
I have included a two page word doc with screenshots which hopefully can explain better what i mean. One screen shot is the display result of the Labview program, the second resembels the path of the ball on the touch screen
Page one of the doc shows the ball tracking when only the first quadrant of the screen is used.
Page two of the doc shows the result when the full touchscreen is used. as the touch screen acts as a mouse it is only able to track the ball when it is in the same locating as the graph on the screen.
I have found it difficult to explain my problem but i hope you gurus can understand and provide me with a solution!
I am hoping someone can give me an answer that will allow the touchscreen to communicate with the labview x-y graph only.
Thanks in advance for any help.

As for your issue, there's a couple of things that are unclear from your description. Before offering a solution it's better to understand the objective here. The example you are using was specifically designed to only track mouse movements over the graph. However, your description seems to imply that you want to draw on the graph regardless of where the mouse is on the screen. Is this correct? If so, then you need to use the Input Device Control VIs to poll the position of the mouse, as that returns the mouse coordinates globally (search the examples for "mouse" and look at the "Basic Input Demo" example). Second, why an XY graph? Are you drawing a bouncing ball over some graphs? I would think you'd want to use the picture control. -
Hi Development Team..
I have a problem while getting the number of mouse clicks.In our application for single click on one button it is performing some functionality and by double clicking the same button it is performing other functionality.Noe the problem is if i double click the button the functionality for single click and double click functionality both are performing.
Now i am trying to print the mouse clickcount for double click it is printing both ..1 , 2
if(me.clickCount()==1)
System.out.println("You Clicked Single Click");
else if(me.clickCount()==2)
System.out.println("You Clicked Double Click");
Out Put :
You Clicked Single Click
You Clicked Double Click
Both Statements are printing ..
But i want for Double click it should print 'You Clicked Double Click'
Please rectify the problem ....
Thanking you in ADVANCE..

Especially so, since you couldn't be bothered to search the forum before posting because this is of course a problem that no one else could ever have come across before.
Just for reference, this [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=781650] is the very first hit when searching for "mouse double click". -
Mouse clicks on windows without focus
Is there a way to recognize when a user is clicking on a defocused JFrame, to bring it to the front, as opposed to clicking to set a text cursor position within the JFrame? For example, if I click on a terminal emulator I've developed, the text cursor within the emulation window goes to the click, even if the emulator is only being clicked to give it focus. (I've also noticed a similar phenomenon with JBuilder, by the way.)
By comparison, look at any native Windoze or Macintosh application; very few (if any) behave that way.This must be very hard for LabView to do. I just need to use LabView to run another application. Then have labview emulate a mouse click on that application. I have found out the windows message using Spy++ for the mouse click. Now in LabView I need to move the mouse to a certain position on that application. How could LabView know where to move the mouse cursor. I found some move cursor vi on this forum, then the coordinate of the position on the application (the active window) is not known. Do I need to map out the position in advance using Spy++? That seems not reasonable as later on the position may change.
LabView is indeed good for Hardware automation and data acquisition, but when it comes to performing some software automation tasks (i.e., runing a couple of other applications automatically), it doesn't seem to be powerful at all, unless the other applications are ActiveX capable, or you have their code to build Dlls. Most of time, one only need to automate the process of running a couple of other programs, then have data presented.
