Objects automatically showing up on subsequent slides

I have a group of smart shapes on Slide 5. Now, any slide I add after Slide 5 shows those buttons, almost like they're part of the slide background. I can't select or delete them on those subsequent slides. If I add a slide before Slide 5, they're not there, but any after Slide 5 - there they are, no matter what master slide I use. I tried restarting Captivate and it didn't fix it. What is happening?!

I am using Hide and Show to make a toggle effect. I copied everything over to a new show and redid all the actions and that weird persistence issue is resolved, but the hide/show actions aren't working as expected. I actually had this problem in another project, too. I have size buttons, and every other one won't do the toggl. I have the same actions happening on all of them. Here is a screencast of the behavior:
http://screencast.com/t/4ykSJHDY
This is the Action I'm using to turn on the caption and change the color of the active button:
And this is the action to toggle the caption OFF
I double checked the names of my buttons and the actions. As I mentioned, in another project where I had multiple toggles on one slide like this, the same thing happened where every other one wasn't working. Any ideas?

  • CP7 Rollover images Show up every OTHER slide

    I am using CP7 and I have a number of graphics on slide 1 that I have defined to have a 'rest of project' timing. I have made multiple groups of graphics on slide 1 and I have made them to NOT be 'visible in output' this way, when I need them, I can use advanced actions to hide/show them (by group name) when I need them for subsequent slides. I am using slide 1 for this instead of the master slide because I need to define the stacking of graphics fairly specifically (slide 3 and further have some graphics that need to be in front of some things and behind some other things).
    The set up is that I have a smart shape with a graphic and I am using it as a button on slide 1 (NOT visible in output and lasts for rest of project). Overlayed over top of my smart shape/button is a rollover image. The two objects work just like a rollover button you would see on the web. There is an advanced action that opens the group that the button is a part of and a few other graphic groups that I need to make it look good. When you click the button, there is another advanced action that is supposed to hide the group that both of those graphics are in, plus the other graphics that make it look good, and then go to the next slide. There is an advanced action on the next slide OnEnter that shows the what is needed for the beginning of the next slide.
    So, here's the problem. When I click my button, everything disappears and goes to the next slide EXCEPT the rollover graphic, which stays on the screen and on top of all other graphics in slide 2. The SAME EXACT advanced action is used on slide 2 to go to slide 3 (with the same exact button because they are all really on slide 1 the whole time and just being made visible or invisible). When I click, I go to slide 3 and the rollover graphic is gone. I click the button again (to go to slide 4) and I go to slide 4 but the rollover graphic is BACK AGAIN!
    I know that this is a complicated write-up, and I am going to go start from scratch to see if I can replicate the problem with a stripped down version of the advanced actions in a new file, but I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction about what is going on. I have deleted and re-inserted the rollover image, but it still does the same thing. I have re-coded the advanced action and it still does it. I have copied rollover images that DONT have this weird glitch and it still does it.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I found a 'workaround' to this problem, but I would still like to know what is going on underneath to make this happen. Since I have all the rollover graphics on the first slide with timing or 'rest of project' I just made an animated button in Flash and imported it as a .swf to replace the rollover image. I changed the smart shape underneath from having the image of the button to being transparent (still have it being used as a button with all the same advanced actions as before). Now the swf handles the rollover and the transparent smart button underneath handles the OnClick action and everything works great.
    Not sure what was going on with the rollover images, but at least I was able to get the result I needed.

  • Quiz slides inserted in project; subsequent slide has audio

    Hi,
    I inserted a couple of quiz slides, true/false and multiple choice, in between 2 regular slides that have audio. When I run my project, I see the quiz slide, but the audio plays as if the quiz slides are not there. In other words, the audio for the subsequent slide plays while the quiz slide is displayed. For example:
    Slide 1 has audio
    Slide 2 is quiz
    Slide 3 is quiz
    Slide 4 has audio
    When I play, my audio goes from slide 1 to slide 4, while displaying slide 2
    I know I must have some basic setting incorrect. My quiz slides are set to On Success - Continue. The surrounding slides are set to On Enter - Continue, On Exit - No Action.
    Help!

    In Captivate you can insert audio on objects, on a single slide, and across multiple slides.
    Is it possible that your audio has been inserted to span more than one slide instead of slide-by-slides?
    If for example you had originally added your audio to a number of timed slides, and then inserted more slides in between, you may have confused Captivate as to where the audio needed to play.
    I may be on the wrong track here but thought it worth suggesting.

  • Smart Object Effects Not Shown in 'Play Slide' But Shown in Other 'Play' Modes?

    Hi,
    In Captivate 7, effects which I add to smart objects using 'Add Effect' in the Effects tab do not show when I 'Play Slide' but do show in any other 'Play' mode e.g. 'Play Project'.  Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Richard

    F3 Play Slide is only going to show you what you can see in Edit mode.  It only moves the frame cursor across the timeline but does not publish the project to an output.
    You can see a Live Preview of the effect applied to a given object by opening the Effects tab (Window > Effect), selecting the object on the slide, and then clicking Live Preview button.
    But the best way to see how everything works is to either hit Cntrl + ENTER to publish and preview the project, or else hit F10 to publish to browser.

  • Help: Slide background showing up on other slides.

    I'm using Captivate 6 and I've encountered the following issue with most projects I work on. I've recorded from a software application, and when I publish my project, portions of slide background from some slides show up on other slides. I can't incude a full screenshot due to the proprietary nature of the software I'm working with, but I've included a snippet to give you an idea. The white portion on the left that says "Breath Sounds" is not supposed to be there. That is from a different slide and in a different place. This only shows in the published version, not in preview mode. I've tried increasing the SWF size and quality to high and compressing full motion. The only work-around I've had success with so far is hiding all the objects on a slide and then capturing a screenshot of it, then adding the screenshot to the slide as an image, and applying the objects back on top of it. As you can imagine, this makes the size of the project much bigger than necessary and it is very time intensive to go out and do this for every slide. I've tried adding the screenshot as background and I run in to the same issue. Has anyone run in to this before and know how to fix it?
    Thanks, Brandey

    I did not select that option, but I will give that a try. I did create a second version of the project to use to troubleshoot the issues because I was able to finish the first version using the workaround I mentioned above. When I published the new version (without the added screenshot images), I turned off compression and the issue was resolved so that must be it. Thanks to both of you for your help!!

  • Automatically Show markerWindowContent (CFMAP / CFMAPITEM)

    Hello. I am trying to re-center a google map and show a marker window automatically for a specific point after the map has been re-centered.
    I have the re-centering part down fine with:
    function map(address){
              ColdFusion.Map.getLatitudeLongitude(address, refresh)
    function refresh(latLong){
              var mapObj = ColdFusion.Map.getMapObject('map');
              mapObj.setCenter(new GLatLng(latLong.y,latLong.x), 10);
    But I am trying to figure out how to manipulate the map object to show a specific marker window. I have searched through quite a bit of blogs and search results. I have a feeling it would be something along the lines of the following?
    mapObj.addOverlay(marker10);
    This is probably not needed, but here is my cfmap tag just FYI
    <cfmap name="map" width="945" zoomlevel="4" zoomcontrol="large3d" showscale="true" showallmarkers="true" showcentermarker="false" centeraddress="United States">
              <cfloop index=i from="1" to="#site.recordCount#">
                        <cfmapitem latitude="#site.latitude[i]#" longitude="#site.longitude[i]#" name="marker#i#" markerwindowcontent="
                                  <span class='mapTitle'>
                                            #site.name[i]#<br />
                                  </span>
                                  <span class='mapAddress'>
                                            #site.address[i]#<br />
                                            #site.city[i]# #site.state[i]#<br />
                                            #site.phone[i]#<br />
                                            <a target='_blank' href='https://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=#site.address[i]# #site.city[i]#, #site.state[i]#'>Get Driving Directions</a>
                                  </span>"
                        />
              </cfloop>
    </cfmap>
    Thanks so much for any pointers in the right direction.
    ~ Ben

    According to the documentation, the (optional) 'name' attribute of <cfmapitem> should be the name of the map, not of the marker.  Try this (or just remove it completely):
    <cfmapitem name="locationmap"
                address="#google_address#"
                showmarkerwindow="true"
                markerwindowcontent="#google_address#"
                />
    Although the examples on that same page then does exactly as you've done, use the name attribute to give names to the markers.  So I'm not sure my solution is correct or not!
    Alternatively you could try using the addMarker function:

  • Does iOS have the ability to automatically show me shipping and tracking info or flight status based on information in my email?

    I am considering switching from an android to an iPhone and one of the features I use heavily on my android is my google now cards. It automatically reminds me to check in for flights and gives me flight status information based on flight information in my email. It then shows me a card for the weather where I am and where I'm going. I also use it for shipment tracking; if i have an email that has a shipping confirmation number, I have a google card that automatically shows me the tacking number and tracking status. I was wondering if Apple had something similar and if it was through Siri or something else? I have an iPad and I haven't seen features like these on it. Everything I've read about Siri so far is that the information given is based on you prompting with a question as opposed to proactively giving me information I need, which is more how I use my android today. If the answer is to us the google now app for iOS, does will it interface with my email and calendar to make relevant cards seamlessly on the iPhone like it currently does on my android phone? Thanks in advance for the help/advice!

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • How do I stop the iMessage conversation from automatically showing when I go into the I message center? I only want the contacts to show down the left side and nothing on the right until I select a conversation to view.

    HOW DO I STOP THE WHOLE IMESSAGE CONVERSATION FROM AUTOMATICALLY SHOWING WHEN I GO INTO IMESSAGE? I only want the contact bar on the left to show and not the whole conversation, until I pick one to see.

    You can't. You can sign out of messages and turn it off, but you can't do what you would like to do. You can send feedback to Apple.

  • Using Captivate 8, is it possible to animate the movement of an object from the center of the slide to the top?

    I have an object in the center of the slide.  As the narration continues, I want the object to move up toward the top of the slide so that I can "fade in" a related (new) object just below it.  How can I do that using Captivate 8?  I tried using the Effect features and Motion Path, but there are no motion paths going up.

    You probably missed that you can edit a motion path (not very easily, has to be done by dragging). This is an old article, but still the same work flow:

  • How do I get the student's answers to show on the next slide for drag and drop interaction?

    I'm working with Captivate 7 on a computer running Windows 8.
    I created a simple, one-to-one drag and drop activity using the  Drag and Drop Wizard.
    I want the student's answers to show on the next slide. Specifically, I want the drop source  to show with the drag target that the student connected to the drag source. This way the student can review his/her answers while the program discusses the correct answers.
    Is there anyway to do this?

    One more quick thing first. Hold the SHIFT key this time as you startup and see if that gets you any further (this is called 'Safe Mode' by the way). I'm not too confident that this will work in your case but it's worth a try. If it boots up, go into Disk Utility and repair permissions.
    If it doesn't, you're going to have to do an Archive & Install which will install a fresh copy of the OS over the top BUT keep all your users, files and apps in place.
