Multiple Question types on one slide

I need to create a quiz slide with different types of questions on one slide. Basically I need a multiple choice question and a couple of short answer questions to do an evaluation of the course and ask for feedback. How do I do this?
Thanks
Terri

Hello,
If you want to create custom slides with standard objects and/or widgets, have a look at the articles I posted about this subject on my blog. Here is one link:

Multiple text captions on one slide?

Hi, i have question about multiple text captions on one slide of my project. I want o change content of text caption by clicking on different buttons on the slide.
There are 4 buttons on slide and in the middle of the slide there is text caption. Is it possible to change content of the caption by clicking the button or is there some way to do it different (hide or show different captions etc..)?
thx martin

Hi Mister C
I'm curious about something. You are using an action I've seen suggested elsewhere here. I use a similar approach but found that I had issues with the approach you are showing.
My approach is to use the rdcmndGotoFrame rdinfoCurrentFrame - 5
Personally, I've seen it where the way you point out failed in many cases for me. By "backing up" the playhead five frames or so, things then worked as the playhead drifted back to the pause point.
Cheers... Rick

Multiple tc types on one scxi 1102

Does anybody know if you can use two different thermocouple types on one SCXI-1102 module?
I need to measure both Type K and Type T thermocouples. I am using a SCXI 1303 connector block and plan to use the internal CJC.
Thanks in advance
doloop

Hello doloop,
You can indeed configure a task to have to two different types of
thermocouples, and acquire from multiple thermocouple types in one
DAQmx Task. For each channel, the NI-DAQmx driver will apply
different conversion coefficients to convert voltage measurements from
different thermocouple types into temperature measurements. You
can configure this easily in Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX), by creating a DAQmx Task of the thermocouple type, and adding
multiple physical channels from the SCXI 1102 module to the channel
list. For each channel in the scan list, under the settings tab,
you will have the option to select what type of thermocouple to
associate with each channel, along with CJC settings. You can
also do this programmatically in LabVIEW using the DAQmx Create Channel
VI. I've attached a shot of a block diagram that shows how to
program this.
I hope this helps!

Multiple text boxes on one slide

Hi all-
I want the user to enter their First Name, Last Name, then User ID on one slide.
I am using 3 text boxes.
1. I want the cursor to be positioned in the First Name text box when the user gets to that slide.
2 I am not validating their information but don't want them to get past a box if they don't enter anything.
How can I accomplish #1 and #2?
Thank you as always.
Erika

Hi gtmatt22
Well, in case you are interested, I may have discovered a way
to accomplish what you initially asked without the use of a
question slide.
Add your text entry boxes. Then stagger them so the second
doesn't appear until the first has been successfully answered.
Configure the start point just beyond the pause point. Repeat the
process for each text box.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

BPEL Process with multiple file types using one FTP adapter is not working

i created a bpel process which will fetch the files from remote location using FTP adapter.
Now the process works for only one format or file type like *.xls.
How can i use more than one file format in one FTP adapter.
OR
is there any other way to do it.
file type assignation is 5th step in FTP adapter configuration.
i have tried *.xls,*.csv and *.xls;*.csv and *.xls:*.csv by seperating with comman, colon, space... still not working.
i read the documentation *.* will not work.. for one file format it's working fine.
looking forward for reply as soon as possible.

Are you positive that it is not working? I'm not sure how you can use one FTP adapter for multiple file types unless the underlying data is exactly the same format or you are processing it as opaque data. Sometimes when a FTP adapter chokes on a file with a bad structure it doesn't create a BPEL instance, it simply moves the bad file to a separate folder.
So I assume you are using opaque as the data type instead of using an XSD element?
That said, I don't think you can put two separate file types in the filter. Is it possible for you to do something like: CommonFileName*.* or do you have similar files with other extensions?
I know the above probably isn't of much help, but I had so many problems with the FTP adapter and its lack of features that I am writing my own. Unfortunately that is a large undertaking and there isn't any good documentation of JCA resource adapter / BPEL PM integration.

Multiple Activity Types with one Production Cost Centers

Dear Experts,
I have One Cost Center 2 Activity typesu2026I can plan in kp06 in single shot thatu2026
1Ctr-1ActvtyRs.100 and 1Ctr-2Actvty----Rs.200u2026.(Same Cost Elements)
Here my confusion is while doing actual posting we can post cost element to Cost Center i.e.Rs.300 to 1Ctr.
Here how I can map that 100 belongs to 1Activity and Rs.200 belongs to 2Activity because there is only cost center.
I know that solution is simple we can maintain separate cost center for both activity types i.e 1 to 1 mapping of cost center to Activityu2026So Actual posting weu2019ll be fineu2026.
Then what is use of Kp26 to maintain 1 cost center to multiple activity types?
Kindlyu2026..Clear my problemu2026
Regards,
Balaji Bhonsle.

Hi Balaji
You have pointed out a valid concern.. There is a solution to it as well, however, very cumbersome and less practical
In OKKP - You allow some control indicators i.e. CCA, IO, PCA, COPA, etc.. Here, you need to allow Activity Type as Addiitional Account Assignment Object.... (This is below Cost Center Accounting)
While booking expenses from FI, you can specify the Act TYpe along with the cost center... Provided you have that much patience and it is identifiable....
Also, you can assign act type in Asset MAster so that while posting depreciation in AFAB, the same gets assigned to Act Type

Multiple pans/zooms on one slide?

Any way to do multiple KB pans/zooms on one slide?
In iMovie, you can duplicate a segment, and reverse it. If I could do that to a slide with KB, then reverse it, and change the "end", this would work for me.
But when I "Duplicate" a slide with KB, the KB is lost, and I can't see how to reverse the KB.
I know I could do this manually, but to get the "end" of on slide to match exactly the "start" of the next seems difficult.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
James

Multiple mp4 files in one Slide

When I place two mp4 files in one slide, neither one plays. Each play fine in a separate slide, but grouped together they do not.
Any idea why?

Hi Craig!
I'm good and I hope you and your family are fine too. I am happy to hear you back on MacBreak Tech, I always enjoyed the discussion and missed the podcast when it was down.
The situation are two small (1-2 meg)mp4 files, and we're placing them one on top of the slide and one below it, sort of a comparison view. They should both play at the same time on the slide, and all we're getting is the background color of the slide showing. When we played them on the slide separately, no problems.
It is the oddest thing I ever saw. These files were originally avi files that I converted back to mp4 format with h.264 so I could more easily work with them in Keynote and then eventually, FCP. If you have any wild ideas, I'm all ears.
Thank you and nice to hear from you again.

Can I have multiple stream types in one object?

For my final project in my data commucnications class I'm writing a client/server socket application that will allow multiple clients to play TicTacToe simultaneously against the game on the server. The teacher is a C/C++ jock, and knows very little Java. We're free to choose any language that will do sockets, and I love Java and don't love C++.
I've built the GUI, and got it to the point that I can reliably connect multiple clients on different machines in the school lab to the Server object, which accepts the new sockets and creates a new thread of ServerGame to do the playing in response to the client's moves. A mousePressed() detects clicks in the grid, and modifies a string to contain the status of the game. I've used a BufferedReader and PrintWriter combination on both sides, to send the GameString back and forth, starting with "---------", then the client makes a move and it changes to "X--------" and the PrintWriter sends it over and the ServerGame makes a move to "X---O----" and send it back, etc, etc. You get the idea. I have a ways to go with the implementation of strategy stuff for the ServerGame's moves, but I like it so far. But now I realize it would be really cool to add to it.
What I want to do, since there can be multiple players, is have a way that it can be like a TicTacToe club. At any one time, it would be nice to be able to know who else is playing and what their won/loss record is. I plan a Player object, with String name, int wins, losses, ties, gets and sets. With Textfields and a Sign In button I should be able to send the Player name to the Server, which can look up the name in a Vector of Player objects , find the one that matches, and sends the Player object for that name over to the Client, and also provide it to the ServerGame. Each player's won/loss record will be updated as the play continues, and the record will be "stored" in the Server's vector when he "logs off". Updates shouldn't be too hard to manage.
So, with that as the description, here's the question -- most streams don't handle Objects. I see that ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream do. So -- am I headed for trouble in using multiple stream objects in an application? I suppose I could just use the object streams and let them send out a serialized String. In other words, I want to add this to my program, but I don't want to lose too much time finding out for myself if it works one way or the other. I already have working code for the String. Without giving too much away, can anyone give me some general guidance here?

Anyway, here's the present roadblock that's eating into the time I have left. I've spent many happy hours looking for what I'm missing here, and I'm stumped, real-time.
I found it was no problem to just send everything over and back with ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream. From the client I send a String with the state of the game, and can break it down and code for decisions in the server as to a response and send the new String back to the client. I now have a Player class with Strings name and password, ints wins, losses, ties. I have a sign-in in the client GUI and old "members" of the club are welcomed and matched with their Player object stored in a Vector, and new members are welcomed and added to the Vector. My idea is to make the Vector static so the clients can have access to the Vector through their individual threads of the Game in the server. That way I should be able to make it so that any one player can have in his client window a TextArea listing who's playing right now, with their won-loss record, and have it updated, real-time.
The problem is that in my test-program for the concept, I can get a Player object to go back and forth, I can make changes in it and send it back and have it display properly at either end after a change. What I'm aiming at in the end is the ability to pass a copy of the Vector object from the server to the client, for updating the status of everyone else playing, and when there's a win or loss in an individual client, it should be able to tell its own server thread and through that update the Vector for all to access. Sounds OK to me, but what's happening is that the Vector that goes into the pipe at the server is not the same as the Vector that comes out the pipe into the client. I've tried all the tricks I can think of using console System.out.println()'s, and it's really weird.
I build a dummy Vector in the constructor with 4 Players. I can send a message to the server that removes elementAt(0), and tell it to list the contents of the Vector there, and sure enough the first element is gone, and the console shows a printout of the contents of all the remaining Player objects and their members. But when I writeObject() back to the client, the whole Vector arrives at the client end. Even after I've removed all the Player elements one by one, I receive the full original Vector in the client. I put it into a local Vector cast from the readObject() method. I believe that should live only as long as the method. I even tried putting clear() at the end of the method, so there wouldn't be anything lingering the next time I call the method that gets the Vector from the server.
What seems the biggest clue is that now I've set up another method and a button for it, that gets the elementAt(0) from the server Vector, changes the name and sends it back. Again, after the regular call to get the Vector sent over, it shows in the server console that one element has been removed. And one by one the element sent over from (0) is the one that was bumped down to fill the space from removeElementAt(). But in the client, the console shows 4 objects in the Vector, and one by one, starting at (0), the Player whose name was changed fills in right up to the top of the Vector.
So something is persisting, and I just can't find it.
The code is hundres of lines, so I hesitate to send it in here. I just hope this somewhat lengthy description tips off someone who might know where to look.
Thanks a lot

Multiple signal types in one chart

Hi there!
I need some help to understand if it is possible to do what I intend to do using SignalExpress LE.
The task is actually quite simple. I need to start a measurement of 2 analog, 2 digital and 1 frequency channels. The sampling speed is moderate, 5kHz. During logging I wish to be able to see the signals "live" and afterwards I want to compare signals and measure time between signal events in the graph.
I tried with a simulated device (since I have not yet one), the USB-6211. This failed due to the model only being able to poll the frequency channel (I think so since I was not able to select continuous samples). Therefore I tested by simulating with USB-6341 and made this setup:
Now I have some questions:
Are the steps (on the left) performed in sequence or in parallel?
Can I plot all signals in one graph so I can correlate them and zoom and measure all together?
I wanted to log the signals but I couldn’t include the frequency channel (see the little dialog box). Shouldn’t that be possible?
I’m also confused by the fact that the frequency plot has Volts on y-axis and not Hz.
Do I really need HW timing on digital I/O to perform this “simple” task? Which means a more expensive HW…
Many thanks for any input!
Regards,
Nicke

I've figured it out. Like everything to do with Illustrator's horrible ancient neglected graph tool, it's absurdly clumsy and involves tiptoeing around what is shamefully bad programming for an expensive professional product.
It's all about timing - you have to do things in one rigid counter-intuitive order that appears to not be working then comes together at the end:
Create the graph but, for now, keep it all the same graph type. If you've already set it to have different graph types, set them to be the same for now.
Select the whole graph, and in Graph Types main window, set Value Axis to 'Both sides'
In the drop-down there should be a Left and Right Axis (or top and bottom...). Set Value Axis settings for these now. It'll look like it only works for one axis, because the other axis won't change - bare with it...
Select the data series you want to use the other axis using Group Selection. Go to Graph Type and set the Value Axis to the other one, and set the graph type to the one you want. It should suddenly all fall into place.
If you need to edit one of the Value Axis settings, select the whole graph, set the whole graph to one graph type, edit the appropriate value axis by choosing it from the drop down, and the re-apply the graph types as above.
(the bug is - you shouldn't need to set the graph object to have only one graph type in order to access the value axis options for the two seperate value axis)

Multiple Audio files on one slide

Hello,
I want to have multiple audio files in a table on a single slide.
Also, these audio files should play when I click on that particular file (which will be placed in a cell in the table)
How do I do this?
I see an option with "Play sound on click" but it plays when I click anywhere.
This doesn't give me the ability to place multiple files and thus be able to play them as needed.
Thanks.

nope, Keynote doesn't have "triggers" though I figure this has to be on Apple's radar as it's been brought up every time a new version comes out.
I suppose one work around would be to make a slide for each sound, and have the sound play when you go to that slide. Then make your table a series of buttons that go to each "sound slide" (you can make link buttons, just not triggers). It would give you the effect of clicking to play the sound, it's just that instead, Keynote would be jumping to a slide and playing a sound. All the slides would LOOK the same, and you wouldn't use transitions between them. The effect would get you what you want, it just takes longer to build.

Multiple click boxes on one slide; Pausing project

I'm using Captivate 5.5.
I have four click boxes on a slide. Three click boxes upon clicking show an image and then show a success caption. The forth click box shows a success caption but also is set to "pause project until user clicks."
Unfortunately, if any of the three click boxes are clicked it advances the playhead even though the forth click box was never clicked. How can I pause the project until only the forth click box is activated no matter if the other three click boxes have been previously clicked?

Hello,
Default behavior of click boxes is to trigger the simple action that is assigned to it AND at the same time to release the play head. Even if those 3 click boxes had a pause, at the same moment as the fourth, this would have happened. If you put the pausing point of the fourth click box later than the pausing of the first three, it will work fine if the user clicks only one out of 3 click boxes.
If you replace the simple action by a (eventually one-line) advanced standard action, the play head is not released:

Multiple failure captions on one slide...?

Can anyone offer any advice with this please?
I use Captivate 3 to produce training for software applications. In the past I have tried to limit the amount of buttons and/or click boxes that have failure captions to a maximum of one or two per slide. This is purely to prevent the problem where a previous failure caption appears when an incorrect option is chosen later on in the same slide, even where the click box/button is clearly separated from the next one on the time line and the 'focus' is changed as well. This removed the problem but incresed the file sizes
So, in trying to keep the filesize of my software application movies down I have started building cp files where I have fewer slides with graphic elements appearing and disappearing throughout....the difference in the published files is huge but I now have the problem back where I may have several failure captions corresponding to several click boxes/buttons on the same slide. The 'bad behaviour' is that, again, the first failure caption will appear all the way through any incorrect choices made on any of the remaining click boxes/buttons on that slide.
I have separated all the buttons etc. from each other on the time line but the problem persists. Can I really only have one or two click boxes/buttons with a failure caption on each slide or am I missing something?

Hi there
Have you examined the properties for the objects and enabled the pause for the failures?
Cheers... Rick

Multiple rollover slidelets on one slide

I have musltiple rollover slidelets on one page and as soon
as one finishes I want the user to be able to rollover the next one
and have it start. On the slide timing, it looks like it is set up
right but in execution there is a long delay before it starts. Any
suggestions?
Thank you!

Hi Larry
Good job on reducing the file size.
I think we got the issue sorted. Here's what the deal was.
Rita had four Rollover Slidelets on slide three. Her desire was for
the first to become available for rolling over just after the audio
narration completed. So she timed the first slidelet at about five
seconds. She wanted the next to become available for rolling over
just after the user finished listening to the audio narration
contained inside the first slidelet. The third shortly after the
second finished and the last shortly after the third finished.
Click here to
see a screen capture of the Timeline before changes
In practice, she was experiencing longer than desired delays
before the next rollover area became available. So the desire was
to shorten the time.
Click here to
see a screen capture of the Timeline after changes
What was happening was that when a slidelet was playing, the
main timeline stops playback. This means that after the first
slidelet completes, seven and a half seconds must elapse before the
next slidelet becomes available. After that second slidelet
completes play, another 11 seconds must pass in order for the last
to become available. So by configuring the slidelets closer
together as in the after example, the issue was apparently solved.
Cheers all... Rick

How can you use multiple stream types with one socket?

Hi,
I'm working on a large program that currently uses Object Input/Output streams for all of the messaging in a client/server application. This works fine except when files need to be transferred. In many cases using a Object stream to send a file can be 30 times slower than using a Buffered input/output stream. I've found I can combined the two. Here are some code snippets to give you a basic idea of what's happening...
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream( serverSocket.getInputStream( ) );
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream( serverSocket.getInputStream( ) );
//this code runs on a thread on the server
while( true ){
switch( whichKindOfStreamUsedNext ){
case OBJECT_STREAM:
Object object = ois.readObject( );
doSomethingWithObject( object );
break;
case BUFFERED_STREAM:
readFromBuffer( bis );
break;
Obviously there is a lot missing here. Basically the variable whichKindOfStreamUsedNext is changed in the methods doSomethingWithObject( ) and readFromBuffer depending on what the current state of the server is and what is passed to these methods from the client.
Here is the problem. If readFromBuffer( ) does a very small task and the client sends an object through an object stream everything is okay. I've switched whichKindOfStreamUsedNext = OBJECT_STREAM before that point and by the time the client sends the object the server is waiting on Object object = ois.readObject( );. However if the method readFromBuffer( ) does a very time intensive task and it takes a while to return and meanwhile the client sends an object then the server never gets that object. Does anyone have an easy solution to this problem. (Changing the whole program to just using BufferedStreams is not a solution).
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the response.
I guess I didn't realize I could do that.
I changed how I am doing the program anyways. Sending flags to switch streams was a little messy. but now I have a new problem. I've discovered that mixing object streams with buffered streams also leads to significant speed increases. I do that in this manner...
int ONE_MEG = 1024*1024;
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream( new BufferedInputStream( socket.getInputStream( ), ONE_MEG ) );
and I do the same thing for the ObjectOutputStream. It works very well when I just set up the client's output stream and the servers input stream in this manner. Upload times are increased from 60 seconds to 2-5 seconds.
Unfortunately when I try to do the same thing with the servers output stream and the clients input stream to speed up downloads I get deadlock! As soon as the socket connection is opened and I try to set up the streams in this manner I get deadlock. Does anyone have any idea why this occurs and what I can do to fix it?
