Pause button for Captivate 4

I've done a lot of work for a customer, originally I used a shortened playbar with next/back and play/pause. Now with issues in Captivate 4 (The playbar appears below the course instead of on top) I need to import a Pause button as I cant use the skin anymore.
I downloaded the Pause/Play button from Raising Aimee which was excellent (Great site by the way) but if the course is paused and you move on the graphic still shows that it is paused but the button acts like its defaulted back to the other state.
How do people here pause (and resume) their courses effectively ? The pause in the playbar was excellent but I cant seem to recreate it in a standard Captivate course.
I just want to have a button which pauses the course and obviously when you press it again it moves on. If you pause the course and then press the button for the next page the course is unpaused (and the button resets).
I'm hoping its something easy ?!

Hi there
I thought that Paul's gizmo did change state when you paused. I'm probably wrong about that. You may wish to contact him and see if he has changed it or is willing to modify it.
As for the playback controls and positioning. Please submit this as a bug to the Adobe Captivate team. While I'm sure they won't view it as a bug, it actually is because they decided to change from something you were used to and introduce something that no longer works for you. Thus forcing you to change your workflow in search of something that works.
Cheers... Rick

How to add a toggle play/pause button for a flash video

Hi,
Can someone help me with this flash video. I am creating a
custom video controllers and I need to have a toggle play and pause
button. How would do I go about that. I tried to use it on a play
button and the video pauses and play, but I need to get the pause
image and play image in there. So, can anyone give me the code for
that . I really appreciate it.
Thanks

this is not truly an event driven state machine....
too many loops
data flow dependencies
wrong use of boolean controls
not a true state machine
here is a template...

Pause button for Podcast downloads?

iTunes ***** up virtually all available bandwidth and a great deal of processor time and appaently doesn't like to share these resources with other running processes. Exiting iTunes while it is still downloading results in partial files. Question: Is there any way to 'pause' or 'suspend' iTunes or at the very least, drop its priortity so that the system resources are freed up for use by other processes?

When downloading Podcasts, go to the 'Downloads' page.
This page appears in the Source pane in the 'Store' section (green icon)
Click the 'Pause All' button, located at the lower right or click on the tiny 'pause' buttons of individual Podcasts next to the loading indicator.
When you're ready to resume, click the 'Resume All' button or resume individual Podcasts by clicking on the tiny 'resume' buttons.
Hope this helps.

Pause button for iTunes

Is there a way to reserve the Pause button (on my keyboard) for iTunes?
I don't need slide shows, but I need to start/pause my music often during work.
Thanks!

Thanks for your answer.

TBH I've never had a problem with the F8 key, (but not sure if we would really notice it), the Play Slideshow command should be Shift-S.
Yes, it's Shift-S, if you want to change settings before the Slideshow starts, but F8 also starts it, directly.
I'm not at my mac at the moment so can't check exactly, but if you go into Aperture>Commands>Customise you get the commands window. From here you can select a command set (top left) you should be able to select default from here.
I checked Aperture>Commands>Customise but it's still set to Default, I'd never changed anything here.
So still no solution.

Play - Pause button for external .swf?

I'm trying to create buttons so a viewer can pause and then play an externally loaded swf. My project can be accessed at the linke below. This is how I want the project to function
     -Click a room on the building (choose Accounting for this discussion)
     -Click one of the demo options (choose Ending a Period for this discussion)
     - Now that the demo plays, I want the user to be able to play and pause the demo swf.
The demo .swfs were created in Captivate so I don't have access to their timeline. They are loaded into an empty Loader component using the MovieClipLoader Class. Can anyone post some possible solutions to this problem? Thanks!
http://distribution.activant.com/demos/prophet21-on-demand/

What would that look like? Right now they're loading using the following code:
btnCashCollect_btn.onRelease = function () {
      mcLoader.loadClip("CashCollections.swf",myLoader);
      btnEndPeriod_btn.enabled = false;
      btnCashCollect_btn.enabled = false;
      btnFinancialMGMT_btn.enabled = false;
      _root.btnHome_mc._visible = false;
So would I use something like:
btnPause.onRelease = function() {
     myLoader.content.pause();
Actually I just tried that and it didn't work...I need the buttons to work for multiple external swfs that will be loaded into myLoader

Captions and Buttons for Captivate 5.5 Templates

I can't seem to find the buttons or captions from the templates in Captivate 5.5 so I can edit them (change the color). Does anyone know where they're located? For example, design5_correct_caption or design5_submit (from the Black_and_white.cptx template).
Thanks.

Hello and welcome,
Did you see the Help? And that is certainly not a complete documentation. How do you want to see such a list for an application that has that many features?
In the Help you'll certainly find an answer about SCORM supported (1.2 and 2004) and the templates used in 6 are improved ones. Types of questions you'll find in the Help easily (didn't change that much) but the extended features like Branch aware, partial scoring, remediation, Submit all, pretest, penalties you'll have to look a bit further. No games, nor mathematical equations included except the Wordgame Interaction in Captivate 6. With Advanced actions you can have the 4 primary mathematical operators, but no functions are available.
I published some lists on my blog (Effects, Widgets, Statements in Advanced actions, System variables), with more details, use cases and tips. Perhaps not what you are looking for?

Play/Pause button for embedded video

I'm working with an embedded video file and have set up some
basic controls. The client wants the play button to be able to go
from Play to Pause and have the button visually do this as well.
Currently I have one Play button and one Stop button. How do I do
this?
Right now I have this for the play button:
on (release) {
_root.embeddedVideo.stopped = false;
_root.embeddedVideo.play();
And for the Stop button I have:
on (release) {
_root.embeddedVideo.stopped = true;
_root.embeddedVideo.stop();
Any thoughts or ideas?

What would that look like? Right now they're loading using the following code:
btnCashCollect_btn.onRelease = function () {
      mcLoader.loadClip("CashCollections.swf",myLoader);
      btnEndPeriod_btn.enabled = false;
      btnCashCollect_btn.enabled = false;
      btnFinancialMGMT_btn.enabled = false;
      _root.btnHome_mc._visible = false;

Central Play/Pause button

Is there a way to have one 'Central' Play/Pause button in Captivate? I have inserted 4-5 video files into Captivate and either have "Autoplay" selected or leave the control to the end user in the skin. However, when that user presses pause on the Captivate playbar the video file will keep playing if I select "Autoplay." If I don't select "Autoplay" then there are two play/pause buttons (one controlling the video file and the other the whole captivate project)...is there a way to combine these two play/pause buttons into one central play/pause button?

Sounds like your videos were inserted as Event videos. Look into trying inserting them as Slide videos instead. Then you lose the skin on the video but the playback bar for the entire module will pause the videos as well.

Play/Pause Button Captivate 3 not working properly

I am using Captivate 3, but my play/pause button is not working properly. I can publish and upload to my LMS, but when I click the pause button the first time the mode changes but the project keeps playing. I have to click two more times and then it works. Can anyone offer any assistance? Thanks so much!

Hello @Unit_27 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
Thank you for the information about your keyboard! I'll see what I can do to help
I think it would be a good idea to take apart the keyboard, or some of it, to determine if the keys are obstructed somehow. Some information on the supported method of cleaning the keyboard is mentioned in this document: Cleaning your Notebook PC
If this does not resolve the issue, I would reinstall Windows on the computer. The issue at this point would be software related, to some unknown extent. A recovery will address any software issue. First, make sure you backup everything you need to. Here is some information on how to do this: Backing Up Your Files
Once this is done, it is safe to reinstall the computer. Here is some additional information on how to do this properly: Performing an HP System Recovery
Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks and have a great day!

I am trying to add a full screen mode button for non scalable pubished video in captivate 7

I am trying to add a full screen mode button for non scalable pubished video in captivate 7. For captivate 6 I used a widget from CPguru but that is not compatible with captivate 7.

Hello,
We have tried the Fullscreen widget from CPguru.
It seems to be working fine at our end.
Could you please try using the widget in a new project.
It could be specific to the project you have created. If possible, share the cptx file with us for better investigation.
Share the file (at https://workspaces.acrobat.com) and send it to [email protected]
Thanks,

Captivate 2.0 Play/Pause button Not Working

Hi,
We are facing a problem in captivate 2.0 file. Due to some
reason the play/pause button isn’t working in the captivate
file. There are few links on a particular screen which goes to
respective slides in the captivate file. Once the learner jumped on
a respective screen then the Play/Pause button is not working. Even
though I keep on clicking the Play/Pause button the Audio is not
stopping, it keeps on playing. When we click thrice on the
Play/Pause button, then the Audio stops.
Could you please help me in resolving this issue?
Thanks in Advance.

Exact same thing is happening to mine. It's a conspiracy so we'll all have to buy a new piece of ipod tech. I've been happy with it so far, but now it is just like a pack of gum, but less chewy and no tasty goodness.

When I press the play button for any music it switches back to pause immediately. Jim
