Need ONE Button That Controls Audio/Caption for Multiple Movies

Captiate Version: 3
Flash Version: 9
We created an online course using Captivate 3. The shell is HTML and the captivate (.swf) is embeded to show the content. Because the content inside the captivate movies were too large we had to break up the course into separate pages for loading purposes.
For example:
HTML Page            Captivate File
page001.html         page001.swf
page003.html         page003.swf
page004.html         page004.swf
Now we need a way to use ONE Button to control the Audio/Caption for ALL the movies. The button would be included seperately in the HTML shell along with Captivate movie.
Is this possible? If so please let us know in detail how?
We're open to other ideas. We are somewhat familar with using Captivate variables ect is required.

You can control Captivate SWFs via JavaScript using the CaptivateController. It allows you to control all the standard Captivate variables from HTML.

  • Help with assignment- buttons that control movie clips

    I am pretty new to flash and my professor gave us an assignment with little help or tutorials.
    He wants us to create a SWF that features a house and it's front yard and two buttons.
    One button that says Sunrise, and one that says Sunset.
    When I push the sunrise button, the sun needs to rise above the house and stay there.  When I push the Sunset button, it needs to set- and then a ufo needs to land on the lawn.
    So i think I have a pretty good grasp on the assignment, but the actionscript is throwing me off.  How can I make buttons that will control the sun movie clip to rise- stay above the house, and then set?  The ufo is a whole new matter.   The sunset button should make the sun lower and then a ufo land on the lawn.
    Please help explain/link me to the proper tutorials.   One thing that i'm worried about is that the sun will rise- and then stay above the house even if i click the sunset button.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Well i can think of a few ways to do this.
    Depending on what you have been taught so far you should be able to do this if you know how to make a button, a movie clip, and the basic script for the timeline. ie. play,stop, gotoandplay etc.
    I understand you have been set a task and you want the answer straight away. But i doubt he would have given you anything you couldn't handle. Also I learnt more from trial and error and searching the net than from most of my teachers at coll and uni, It's frustrating i know, but the buzz you get when you finally crack it is amazing. Stick in there!
    That being said i remember the panic I suffered and like to help so here's a thought:
    You could just have the 2 buttons play a basic movie clip. The sky could rotate one way to make the sun rise and add a "stop" in the actions to make it stay there, and to the left to sunset with both images together but not being shown all the time by using a mask. You could even add in the ufo to the clip but this would only work if you added an extra part to the movie so that when the ufo has landed it flys out again and then begins to rotate the sun and moon again. ( buttons would be dissabled during the play modes to avoid chaos) This is just a quick thought. I'm sure there are several ways of doing this depending on how fancy it needs to be.
    If your teacher really has given you no notes on buttons,movieclips and actionscript i would sujest Adobe TV. Nice videos that explain step by step. OR try downloading a tutorial file with buttons and movie clips and look at the coding they use in the file. Thats how i have learnt most of it since finishing Uni.
    Good Luck

  • Can any one say that list of hardware for 11gr2 2node rac installation?  thank in advance

    can any one say that list of hardware for 11gr2 2node rac installation?  thank in advance

    Hi ,
    Hardware Requirements
    Physical memory (at least 1.5 gigabyte (GB) of RAM)
    An amount of swap space equal to the amount of RAM
    Temporary space (at least 1 GB) available in /tmp
    A processor type (CPU) that is certified with the release of the Oracle software being installed
    A minimum of 1024 x 786 display resolution, so that Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) displays correctly
    All servers that are used in the cluster must have the same chip architecture, for example, all 32-bit processors or all 64-bit processors
    Adequate disk space in the software installation locations to store the Oracle software
    You need at least 5.5 GB of available disk space for the Grid home directory, which includes both the binary files for Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) and their associated log files, and at least 4 GB of available disk space for the Oracle Database home directory, or Oracle home directory.
    About Shared Storage
    These Oracle Clusterware components require the following disk space on a shared file system:
    Three Oracle Clusterware Registry (OCR) files, 300 MB each, or 900 MB total disk space
    Three voting disk files, 300 MB each, or 900 MB total disk space
    If you are not using Oracle ASM for storing Oracle Clusterware files, then for best performance and protection, you should use multiple disks, each using a different disk controller for voting disk file placement. Ensure that each voting disk is configured so that it does not have share any hardware device or have a single point of failure.
    Network Hardware Requirements
    When you configure the network for Oracle RAC and Oracle Clusterware, each node in the cluster must meet the following requirements:
    Each node must have at least two network interface cards (NIC), or network adapters. One adapter is for the public network interface and the other adapter is for the private network interface (the interconnect). Install additional network adapters on a node if that node meets either of the following conditions:
    Does not have at least two network adapters
    Has two network interface cards but is using network attached storage (NAS). You should have a separate network adapter for NAS.
    Has two network cards, but you want to use redundant interconnectsIn previous releases, to make use of redundant networks for the interconnect, bonding, trunking, teaming, or similar technology was required. Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster and Oracle RAC can now make use of redundant network interconnects, without the use of other network technology, to enhance optimal communication in the cluster. This functionality is available starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2).Redundant Interconnect Usage enables load-balancing and high availability across multiple (up to 4) private networks (also known as interconnects).
    However, When you install Oracle software, Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) automatically performs hardware prerequisite checks and notifies you if they are not met.

    Hi
    Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
    Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
    As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
    Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
    • Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
    • Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
    • Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
    • Then iPhoto should start up OK
    • Now Quit iPhoto
    • START iMovie
    Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
    If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

  • HitTest for multiple Movie Clip at the same time

    I have a movie it is a triangle.I duplicate it and I want to hitTest on the first triangle movie clip and I added 3 different line movie clips on the 3 side of triangle.I tried to write a code something like that.

    trace("Ok");
    but I've got error.I think it is not allowed hitTestObject for multiple Movie Clips.So is there anyone have an opinion about it?What should I do?

  • What is a bootable backup and do i need one? what are partitions good for?

    hello,
    please excuse my ignorance...
    i just got a new lacie external firewire hard drive and it has some software which i was wandering if i have any use for... - SilverKeeper and LaCie Backup Software. i'm not sure if they can give me anything that time machine doesn't do better... SilverKeeper gives the option of cloning a bootable backup. i'm not exactly sure what's the advantage of this and in what case i may need it.
    when i got my last computer i was able to transfer everything from the old computer, including applications, to the new one without having to find all the serial numbers and reinstall them. i thought that time machine will be able to do the same thing if i lose all the data on my computer. is that not so? is that what a bootable clone is for? or what is it for?...
    my other question is what are the advantages of making partitions in my new drive (i understand i have to if i want a bootable backup, but is there any reason to partition otherwise?
    thanks!
    dannah

    SilverKeeper gives the option of cloning a bootable backup. i'm not exactly sure what's the advantage of this and in what case i may need it.
    A bootable backup is an exact copy of your hard drive's contents on another drive, that can be used for booting up the machine. The advantage of a bootable backup is that, in the event something bad happens to your internal drive, you can very quickly get up and running with the backup drive, and can copy that back to a replaced/fixed internal drive very quickly. Time Machine backups are not bootable.
    The disadvantage of a clone of any kind, bootable or not, is that there's only one version of any particular file stored. So if a file gets damaged and then backed up, you're pretty well screwed with the clone, while Time Machine stores many versions of the file, so you just "roll back" to the last working copy.
    when i got my last computer i was able to transfer everything from the old computer, including applications, to the new one without having to find all the serial numbers and reinstall them.
    Bad idea... while this will work for most apps, different machines have different architectures, so some apps may not be installed correctly for the new machine, plus you may not have properly copied some components. You should have reinstalled them.
    i thought that time machine will be able to do the same thing if i lose all the data on my computer. is that not so?
    If you have Time Machine back up the entire hard drive, without excluding anything, then Time Machine should be able to restore your drive to exactly the way it was at any particular moment in time at which it made a backup, including apps, system files, preferences, etc.
    my other question is what are the advantages of making partitions in my new drive (i understand i have to if i want a bootable backup, but is there any reason to partition otherwise?
    You do not have to partition to make a bootable backup. However, you'll be using the entire drive... trying to store additional files on the same drive as a bootable clone is confusing at best. Using a partition allows you to create multiple "virtual" drives... say, one for a bootable backup, one for a Time Machine backup, one for movie files, etc. Of course, this is only advisable if the drive is much larger than the one you're backing up, and note that if you store original files on a partition (like a bunch of movie files), you need a backup of those somewhere else.
    Time Machine will want it's own full drive or partition to play with, which should be larger than the drive being backed up, and will eventually fill it. A bootable clone probably also should go onto its own partition, but you wouldn't need to make this partition larger than the drive being cloned. Other than that, don't worry about partitioning unless you have a specific need.

  • Flash button that controls breeze play button

    Is it possible to create a flash button that is scripted to
    control the play and pause button on the breeze playbar? What I am
    looking for is a way to have a button that would start a slide
    again after it has stopped and is waiting for the user to start
    again.

    Hi!
    If you want to control the viewer with a Flash button you've
    embedded in a powerpoint slide (prior to using presenter to convert
    it) try this:
    (1) Make your button in Flash, and add this Actionscript to
    the first slide (replace [btnName] with the name of your button
    instance:
    btnName.onRelease = function () {
    _root.m_controlBar.m_slideNextBtn._onRelease();
    (2) Insert your button's swf in the PPT presentation and
    compile with Presenter. Now, when the user clicks the button, it
    will simulate pressing the "next slide" button in the viewer's
    control bar.
    Here are some of the other button names; to use these
    instead, just replace "m_slideNextBtn" in the above code:
    Play/pause button "m_playBtn"
    Next slide button "m_slideNextBtn"
    Previous slide button "m_slideBackBtn"
    View changer button "m_viewChangeBtn"
    Attachment Button "m_attachmentsBtn"
    Volume Button "m_volumeBtn"
    Hope that helps!

  • Generic Table Control in ABUMN for multiple transfer of assets

    Hi Experts,
    Problem Description
    We are trying to use transaction ABUMN for multiple asset transfer.
    We need to transfer more than one assets to multiple assets by quantity
    and value.
    Our Efforts/Observation
    Instead of going ahead with BDC/LSMW, we tried using table control to utilize standard SAP functionality.
    For making this happen, we are trying to use the Generic Table control which is available in ABUMN once you click on "Multiple assets" button.
    However, even though we are making fields like
    EL7, EL8 etc available in the screen (by removing check from the "Invisible" check box), they are in display mode and are not giving me any option to select quantity and value that needs to be transferred from each asset.
    We need to assign these fields to some field like quantity/percentage so that they can be used.
    If you see, the column header is also blank.
    We need to transfer hundreds of assets, hence requesting you to please
    fix this urgently so that we can transfer assets and close the quarter.
    Thanks in advance for your help and support,
    Nitish Gupta
    +919867458892

    Hi Nitish,
    I'm sorry, transaction ABUMN will never get this functionality you requested.       
    For mass transfer, customers have the possibilities to use batch input on  transaction ABUM or BAPI.                                                                               
    Please refer customer to the following note :   216806  New posting transactions and batch input

  • Balancing audio levels for multiple tracks in PP CS6 ...

    I have a relatively long home movie (1:50) with clips from multiple cameras dispersed throughout.   One of the camera's audio is far lower than the rest.    What is the easiest/fastest way for a consumer editor to get a reasonable result?  Doesn't have to be perfect, but eliminating the need to hold the TV volume button is the goal.   I'm guessing some of you out there have dealt with this issue a few times and can give me a boost.
    I've seen some tutorial videos on using the Audio Mixer, but that appears to adjust volume for an entire track.   I suppose an option here is to manually move all of the quieter clips' audio tracks to a different track number and then use the mixer to adjust.   Trial and error I assume to get it right.
    Another video I found shows balancing by pulling up clips one by one into Soundbooth and then processing them together.  I don't own Soundbooth unless it ships with CS6 and I didn't know to install it.  I like the concept though - some way to normalize (if the right term) the volume, although certainly I want some variance so that when someone is shouting or screaming the volume is still higher.
    Other videos show adjustments to the volume level by dragging the little yellow volume line on a clip by clip basis inside the track display.   Easy enough, but if I end up deciding I want to make further adjustments I have to go back through all the clips again.   I suppose one advantage here is that those quieter clips sometimes run in batches so could use key frames.
    Feedback?

    Just closing the loop here ...
    I ended up doing the separate track and audio mixer volume adjustment with some individual clip gain tweaks.   Turns out one of my cameras was quiet and another loud, so I used three audio tracks in my movie, one for footage from each camera (luckily the two offenders were more limited).   The nice thing about this approach is that adjustments are easy to make across the board.
    On the 6db volume gain, turns out that was enough.  Maybe someone has some input here, but I find that watching video on my TV with my surround sound system the volume levels are way more sensitive than my PC.   Ok, not 100% - there were a couple of clips where I upped the gain as well.
    The gain adjustment and looking at the waveform diagram is very useful for getting an idea of what level of adjustment is required.   So I did make use of this feature to get feedback on how to adjust the volume level noted above.
    If I was really serious, I would have done a bunch of marking key frames and adjusting the volume within the clips.   One of my cameras is really loud when the person filming speaks but the other subjects are much softer.  But I took an 80/20 approach and the movie is a little loud in some spots and a little soft in others, but not so much that I have to adjust the volume button.  It would be tedious to edit all the footage in this way.   Although I did make use of the key frames for some background music.
    Needles: I was looking for a consumer level solution, although admittedly didn't investigate what you suggested.

  • 1 Success Caption for Multiple Targets in a Drag and Drop Interaction

    I see how I can add success captions to each target in a drag and drop interaction, but can you apply only 1 success caption multiple targets?

    The boundaries of smartshapes were overlapping with each other. For example, the smartshape on 1st line was overlapping with the one on 2nd line. Due to this, every time you place the text caption "Investment" on the smartshape on 2nd line, it automatically moved to the smartshape on 1st line. As a result, you could never get the answer right, and hence you never saw the Success Caption.
    Solution: Move the smartshapes away from each other (or resize them), and ensure that there are no overlaps.
    2,  The number of attempts for this interaction was set to Infinite. So, you have to play this until you get it right, but you could not get it right because of the reasons mention above. That is why you never saw the Failure Caption.
    Solution: Clear the Infinite check box in the Action accordion and specify the required number of attempts. You will get the Failure Caption if you don't get it right in those attempts.
    I just tested these solutions and they worked fine. Let me know if you still face any issues.

  • Is there an all in one printer that allows me to scan multiple pictures at one time and put them directly into iPhoto?

    I am looking to replace an old HP psc 2210 all in one printer  with a new all in one that will let me scan multiple photos at one time and put them directly into iPhoto.  Dos anyone have suggestions for a printer that will do this?

    I use an HP Photosmart, but most scanners will scan multiple photo's. I just make sure in the scan preferences, I tick the box to "Detect Seperate Items". I normaly scan 6 to 8 photo's at a time, size depending on how many I can fit on the scanner bed. I set the preferences to scan directly to iPhoto.
    Hope this helps.
