Pause doesn't work in simulation

Hello all the freinds
I try to capture an elearning with my adobe captivate cs4 and it realy works very nice ,but I can't pause my simulation ,when I press PAUSE key ,it doesn't pause the simulatin ,but the End key works and end the simulation ,
would you please help me
I appreciate you

Hi there
Are you talking about trying to pause playback of a recorded demonstration? For example, you recorded a series of steps, you are playing it back and you are trying to press Pause to stop playback?
Pause is intended to suspend the recording process. Perhaps you began recording a series of steps, a window popped up unexpectedly, so you press Pause so Captivate doesn't record your action of dealing with the sudden new window. You deal with it, press Pause again and resume your recording.
Cheers... Rick

On Exit Pause doesn't work

Hi,
I have set a slide to pause on exit but it just won't work, it continues to the next slide and pauses. I know I must be missing something obvious but can't think what! Any help would be really apprectiated. Using Cap 7.
Thanks,

Hi Ryan,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
You are not missing anything, you have applied the action in correct way.
But pause on exit works in this way, it will execute the pause action after exiting the slide.
You can also use an interactive object like click box or button on the last part of slide in timeline and set a pause on it.
Please check this discussion on Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5496225
One of the users has suggested an advanced action to make the slide pause on last frame.
Thanks.

The logic debuggeur doesn't work in simulation mode

Hello,
After a migration from OutlookSoft 4.2 to SAP BPC 7.0 SP6, the logic debuggeur in simulation mode had never work on our new environment.
I tried the logic simulation in Appshell, result : when I want see the result the answer is "No records found", when I want see the log i see a blank window and there is no error in server Manager.
I investigate on the Apps Server in the webfolders and I saw the logfile in \Webfolders\ApShell_test\Finance\PrivatePublications\BEAUMONT_F\TempFiles\DebugLogic.Log
Our configuration is :
Multi-Server :
1 - Apps Server (BPC Server) - Windows 2003 32b
1 - DB Server (SQL Server) - Windows 2003 64b
BPC version : BPC 7.0 M SP6
DB : SQL SERVER 2005 SP3 - Ent Ed. Lng : En-Us
client : Windows Xp - Excel 2003
Thanks for your help.

Isabelle,
I guess it might be a bug. please open SAP support ticket.
In the simulation mode, you log should show the records that is generated by your logic.
Thank you.

Pause doesn't work

I have an AT&T calling card, and I'd like to use the pause button to dial the 1-800 number, code, and the international number. The pause button adds an extra space in front and I can't seem to use the function. Am I the only one with this issue? I purchased 3GS in January '10.

why are you trying to use a calling card with a cell phone.. those mainly don't work with cellphones.

Back button doesn't work in Flash Pro CS6 Simulator (ADL)

Hi everyone. I'm testing Flash Pro CS6, and I've noticed the Back button is not detected in my Android app when testing in ADL (Control / Test movie / In ADL Mobile).
When I try to select the option Device / Back (Ctrl+B) in ADL, it just doesn't do anything (I have a KEY_DOWN event listener which looks for the keycode Keyboard.BACK). In a real Android device, it works, but not in the "test movie" window (ADL). In CS5.5, the Back button always worked in ADL.
Also, in the new Simulator window which comes up when "testing movie", there are "Menu", "Back" and "Search" buttons for easier access. Well, that Back button doesn't do anything, either.
Does anyone know what's happening?
BTW, I don't find the "Simulator" window too useful for my purposes. How can I disable it, so it doesn't automatically come up?
Thanks!
Edit: Well, it seems the KEY_DOWN event listener doesn't work for any key, not only the Back button.

WHOWWW...
suitable for Flash Player 11.6
Back that down to as low a version as possible... 10 or so if possible.
My advice.... never... ever target the latest version of plugin... most users will NOT have that plugin installed.
Back it down and if that doesn't work, post a link to the actual Web page.
Best wishes,

Captivate 4 Pause Button Doesn't Work

Does anyone know why the pause in Captivate 4's buttons
doesn't work? I've rechecked my settings and it's still not
working.

On the properties dialog of a button, under the Options tab
please make sure that the "Pause after:" check box is checked.
Additionally, the time entered for this field should be comfortably
less than the slide time so that the slide could be paused well
before it ends.
For eg: if the slide duration is 3 seconds then I would
advise you to have pause after time to say something like 1.5
second.

I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?

I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?
May try DIY due to cost
Just wondering if anyone's had this fixed how much it costs
Or if it's another problem before I order parts

I have found the solution for myself for the above. I use a specific scripting program which is accessed by Control A. To pause it, you need to use Control B. not sure if this would work for any other application but it resolves my dilemma after hours of trying!

Headphone pause / play / FF button doesn't work on iphone 3g

I cant get the button on my headphones to work. I have tried other headphones but this still doesnt help. Is there a setting for this button?

I have the same problem here.
I have an Iphone 16Gb firm 1.1.3 , my headphones button (start/stop - skip) works ONLY if i leave the headphone's jack plugged in the phone in STANDBY mode.
In other words : Iphone in standby mode - plug the headphones - wake button - slide unlock ... everything perfect hedphones button works correctly.
On the contrary if : Iphone in standby mode - wake button - slide unlock - and THEN plug the hadphones ... the headphone's button doesn't work !!!
I don't make any restore also because i'm not sure that it can fix the problem and i don't want to loose all my notes - sms etc.
I will do only if i will be sure that restore can fix this annoying issue.
Thank you very much for any suggestion !

N.B. Sorry for my bad english,but is not my natural language !

My applet doesn't work on Linux

I've heard from some people working on Linux platform that my applet http://astro.ia.uz.zgora.pl/~nirgal/psren.htm doesn't work even if they have proper JRE plugin installed. The same people can run other applets on other web sites. The applet works good on Windows platform browsers.
Dear Linux users, do you have any ideas about this issue?

Ok, I hope the code of the main applet class will help to solve the problem. Surely there is some bug (because other applets work). But I'm curious why it runs well on Windows at the same time?

Replay video in Muse (some controls doesn't work)

Hello colleagues,
Can't understand what is happening. I put a video in the Animate and assign controls for buttons (for example, replay video from 0:00 sec). For stage and video autoplay function are disabled.
Then I export the oam-file and insert it into the Muse with a Scroll Effect "Edge Animate" (Autoplay) to play the video at a certain point. Video starts correctly, but some controls doesn'n work, for example, "replay video". Along with this function "Toggle video play/pause" works correcly.
Actually, I want to loop video playback but it doesn't work in the Muse (Loop function for a video).
Can anybody recommend a solution?
Thanks!

Hello Joe,
This is very interesting, but when I upload the project from Muse to my FTP-server, everything is working properly in all of browsers, all of controls and loop for the video clip. I found it by accident when I lost all hope. In other words, the problem is only when previewing the page in a browser (via the built-in local server). Maybe this is a question for the team Muse? Anyway I can send it in PM.
Thanks for your reply,
Alexander

Can you restore from an older iCloud back up (July 3rd), and if it doesn't work RE restore from a new iCloud (July 14th)?

I upgraded my 4S to a 5 on July 3. I had updated my back up to iCloud that morning (but it had also updated the night before). It did NOT restore from back up ANY games (I play one all the time and had a year and a half's worth of work in it!!!) But, I assumed it didn't do that, because it DID pull my contacts, though it didn't pull my email or my texts or anything. On July 13th I had to swap the 5 out for a new 5 because the first one was glitching. When I restored from back up this time (the date on it was July 12th) it pulled EVERYTHING!! I would like to try to reload the one from the 3rd to see if it will work now, but I hate to loose everything again! Can I load the 3rd's back up and if it doesn't work, RE load the back up from now? And even if I could do that, HOW do I do it?

This is my boilerplate respone for the "waiting apps" problem. Give these suggestions a try in order.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

How do you close a dragged applet, as Stage.close() doesn't work?

I'm trying to implement a close button in a draggable applet, but Stage.close() doesn't work, and there's an odd little "X" icon which is causing me problems...
My starting point and example is the simple draggable applet from the API documentation. It's the code listed under "User-Specified Close Example":
http://java.sun.com/javafx/1.2/docs/api/javafx.stage/javafx.stage.AppletStageExtension.html
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
import javafx.scene.paint.*;
import javafx.scene.shape.*;
import javafx.scene.text.*;
import javafx.stage.*;
var textContent = "Click the box to return to the browser";
var outside: Boolean = false;
var s: Stage = Stage {
    title: "AppDeploy Demo"
    width : 300 height : 200
    style: StageStyle.TRANSPARENT
    opacity: 0.5
    scene : Scene {
            content: [
                Text { content: bind textContent
                       x: 25 y:35 fill: Color.BLACK
                       font: Font{size: 24}
                Rectangle { x: 100 y: 100 width: 100 height: 100 fill: Color.RED
                            onMouseClicked: function(e: MouseEvent): Void {
                                s.close();
    extensions: [
        AppletStageExtension {
            shouldDragStart: function(e: MouseEvent): Boolean {
                return e.shiftDown and e.primaryButtonDown;
            useDefaultClose: false
}However, the Stage.close() function in the user code doesn't seem to close the applet once it's dragged. It seems this can only be achieved by a mysterious little "X" in a box top right, acting as a close button.
Here's a demonstration of the problem once you've compiled that code:
1. Open browser with applet (I'm using IE8 on Windows XP)
2. Shift-drag the applet out of the browser. Notice the little X in a box appears when you drop the applet on the desktop.
3. Click the red rectangle to invoke the Stage.close() function in the user code.
4. Applet disappears from screen and does not reappear in the browser.
5. But minimising all the icons on the desktop shows the little X in a box is still there sitting on your desktop (actually I find the X has gone, but the box is still there). This suggests the applet is still running.
6. Close the browser. The little X's box is still on the desktop.
7. After a short pause a Java dialog box appears: "Desktop integration warning. The application would like to create shortcuts. Do you want to continue? OK/Skip" The applet wasn't closed, it is still running!
8. Click Skip. Dialog box disappears. But the little X's box is still on the desktop. Is the applet still running?
9. Try to recompile app again into a deployable Jar (I'm using Eclipse for this).
10. The compiler stops with "ERROR: Jar file C:\[...].jar could not be deleted. The Jar is probably locked by running application, Web browser, emulator or antivirus. Please check that all windows related to the application have been closed." Yes, the applet Jar is still being used.
11. Minimise all the windows. The little X's box is still on the desktop.
12. Click the little X's box.
13. After a few seconds the box disappears. Does this mean the applet is no longer in use...?
14. Recompile the app again into a deployable Jar. It works!
By the way, you get the same experience with another Sun sample: the DraggableMP3Player at
http://javafx.com/samples/DraggableMP3Player/index.html
That, too, thinks it's implementing it's own close button, and again the same problem occurs.
So it seems Stage.close() doesn't properly close the applet, and only the the little X in a box will do this.
I'd like to be able to really close the applet from my own code. How can I do this?
Many thanks
Nik

After double tap home button, swipe up on the app card that appears above the icon.

Media player hotkeys doesn't work with Windows Media Player 11

Hi;
I upgraded my windows media player 10 to 11 version. Now my hotkeys doesn't work. I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem.

Hi
Do you mean the Toshiba Control buttons which control the WMP function like play, pause, stop, etc
On some Toshiba notebooks the Toshiba control buttons can be configured manually.
Please check this in the control panel -> Toshiba controls.
If you will be not successful I would recommend reinstalling the Toshiba utility again

Button on slides randomly doesn't work

Hi there, apologies for posting another question but this is quite bewildering.
I have a project that has some slides that have a number of images on them. Each image is a button that executes an advanced action that "opens" a "layer/lightbox" that has relevant information on it (and hides any other that may be open at the time) plus a small "X = close" button in the top right corner that does the reverse. Basically the images open hidden grouped items creating the illusion of layers, etc, and the close button hides each "layer" accordingly. Testing locally everything behaves perfectly and smoothly.
It's only when uploaded to the LMS that the following issue occurs, in that occasionally, for some users the X button in the top of the "layer" doesn't work. The user is kind of stuck... well, not really - other slide buttons like forward and back, plus the master slide menu buttons all work no problem.
The X buttons are smart shapes and at the top of each groups timeline.
When I test and check they can work perfectly on first test but then the problem manifests the next time I check. It may be the third or fourth time, but if I try enough times the glitch occurs.
Something that may be related and is also bugging me is that in order for the information to look clean on the slide each group has a smart shape layer background that is sized to the 'stage area' to block out the underlying information. The shape is white with 100% opacity and no timeline effects or Timing fade, yet when I view it online I can definitely see the "base layer" background seeping through very, very slightly. Like a hint of transparency. Which makes me think that something in these particular slides is corrupt and causing the issues.
Has anyone else witnessed something similar? I did check and this is not a Pause/Continue slide error (AFAIK) but I couldn't find anything about buttons random not working.
Thank you as always for taking time out to read.

Hi Lieve. Thank you for the prompt response.
The background shape that is slightly see through is in each (hidden) group on the slide itself. Basically, on one slide I have 9 groups that each have a smart shape as a background (bottom of it's timeline grouping), and the same thing on 3 other slides.
The background shape layer in one of the hidden groups:
The slight transparency issue:
I would provide more comprehensive screengrabs of what I am describing but the image content is quite gruesome (medical) and I wouldn't want anyone get ill on these forums.
I was just reading that Dare To Share link and am really impressed how well you explained the functionality. The original documentation was not so great. I will have to apply Shared Actions to all future Captivate module development.
The action associated with the Close button:
Again, thanks for your assistance.
