Problem with an advanced action

I created an advanced action which i applied to a button. once you click the button it's should reveal a text box...which it does, and apply an effect to an image. problem is, it's applying the effect before you even click on the button.
Are you able to apply effects using a button?
Thanks

It's very possible. Just work the step into the advanced action similar to the below:

Ongoing problem with newsletter-eMail-actions: CF is hanging

Hi forum-members, we have an ongoing problem with
newsletter-eMail-actions.
We use CFMX 7.02 Entperprise on Win 2003 Server. (between
100.000 and 200.000 receivers).
The deep links into the shops are of the following structure:

In the highest hours we have between 80 and 200 current
users/connections
per second. We are running two HP 380, 3 GB, CF-Servers in a
static loadsharing.
From time to time CF gets unresponsive and I don't know why.
We use fusion reactor and there are no long running requests
from
what I have seen, when CF is hanging. There is nothing in the
logfiles which is obvious to what it could
be related what is casing it. Does anybody have any idea what
else to look into ? Uwe: confused;

Problem with sub-screen actions on Cancel button

Hi all,
I have a problem with sub-screen.
I created a subscreen (screen sequence in MM01/MM02/MM03). When users leave this screen, I call POPUP_TO_CONFIRM to ask if they want to save the data.
1) My goal is: when they choose Cancel, no actions are performed and users will see the current screen. However, I cannot use command: SET SCREEN 0 or LEAVE TO SCREEN 0 because the system gives an error message:
*SET SCREEN not allowed in subscreens*.
2) How can we determine when the user leaves the screen? which value of SY-UCOMM will be used to check this?
Thanks in advance.

for dis SET SCREEN is not required.
Consider d code given below as n eg:
CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM'
    EXPORTING
      titlebar              = 'SAVE'
      text_question         = 'SOME _QUS'
      text_button_1         = 'YES'
      text_button_2         = 'NO'
      default_button        = '2'
      display_cancel_button = ' '
    IMPORTING
      answer                = l_ans
    EXCEPTIONS
      text_not_found        = 1
      OTHERS                = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE e066.
ENDIF.
IF l_ans EQ '1'.    " when yes is pressed
   MODIFY db.
   commit work.
   leave program.
ELSEIF l_ans EQ '2'. "when no is pressed
    leave program.
ELSE.     " when cancel is pressed
ENDIF.
In above module when Yes is pressed it saves data den leave prog.
As no action is specified for cancel button it will remain on that screen only from which popup is called, in this way ur problem can be solved.
Reward properly.

Need help with Quizzes & Advanced Actions

Hi, I am relatively new to Captivate (v6) and I am looking for a way to force learners to respond to a question BEFORE navigating to the next page.
On my question slides, I have a submit button and the next page button but no playbar.
I want the submit button to be active to provide feedback to the question with the next page arrow inactive. It would be great to have a message pop-up (similar to the incomplete message) when the learner presses on the inactive next page button. Once the question has been answered and submitted, then I want the next page arrow to be active for the learner to navigate to the next page.
Do I need to create an advanced action for this? Either a standard action or conditional?
Can anyone help me with this? I would be most appreciative!

Normally they do not need the Next button, except during Review (if you'll allow that after the last Quiz attempt).
So my most simple solution is to drag the Next button under the Clear button, it is normally stacked lower so it will be hidden. During Review, the Clear button will not be there and the Next button will become visible.
Have a look at my blog posts about functionality of Question slides:

Create a button with an advanced action to start a video and associated text on the timeline.

I need help. I have a video on a slide that I want to start only when the learner clicks a Play Video button. When that button is clicked, the video should start and the associated text captions with their timings should start then as well. Is this possible with advanced actions? If so, can anybody help me with those actions?
The slide would work like this:
Upon entry to the slide, narration is playing, and a text box appears on the screen. It tells them to "click the play video button to begin". Nothing should happen until they click the play video button.
When they click the button, the advanced action would start the video, and the associated text boxes appear as each "step" in the video goes by. It's a procedure with step by step instructions.

You are very correct. I am making it too complicated! I believe I will do exactly what you said. If I still want to have a button that says Play Video, I could just have that button advance to the next slide. The learner will probably not even know they are on a different slide. Thanks for making me see that clearly. Sometimes I get too caught up in trying to do something one way. Thanks for the help!

Having problems with and advanced form to Mail PHP app in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I would like to start off by saying i am horrible when it comes to php of any kind so i use an attachment for my forms call Advanced from to Mail PHP in dreameaver for connecting my site to my email contact for user data.
I have had this problem a few times but don't remember what someone told me about a year ago, the form that i have setup is from a free template so i did not set it up. Any how i am gettiing an error where dreamweaver is stating i need to "Please Enter Valid Form" pretty sure that means the from im trying to manipulate is unreadable for this application.
Are there any PHP or form experts out there that may be able to help me in making this form readable to the app i am using in order to tie it to my email for submisions?
I will post a picture of the form i am trying to use the app on, the app and the error i am getting.
Could it be that i have to replace <label for= with <Input Name   possibly?!
Thank you so much!

Problems with Skin Retouching Actions pack

Hello everyone and sorry for my bad English. I need some help if possible: I bought and downloaded Skin Retouching Actions (I have C6S on Mac) but I can not install it in Photoshop with the Extensions Manager.
When I try to open the action pack I get this message "An unexpected error occurred while trying to verify this extension."
I kindly ask if there is a way to install it manually? Or in another way...
I hope to solve the problem. Any suggestion is welcome.Thanks!

That is unusual Axel. I just tested it again to make sure it was working ok but I had no difficulties using that build of Extension Manager CS6 (see below).
The only way to get hold of the actions would be to email the producer for them and they can send them to you. Their email address is: [email protected] Please let us know if you hold of them ok.

Problem with SQL Query Action

Hi,
I have a problem in using transactions with SQL Querys.
I developed a TA based an SQL Querys against a MS SQL Server by using the jtds driver.
After execution of the sql query I iterate through the result data by using the repeater action on the xMII XML results of the query. Using the jtds driver all table and field names are in lower case letters.
Now I changed the data server to test it with oracle to an oracle database by using the oracle jdbc driver. The database and tables on both Oracle and MS are created with the same sql script.
The oracle driver returns table and field names in only capital letters. So the created transaction can not be used. Because it for example accesses the node "type" in the XML structure which is fine for jtds. But when oracle is used, the node has the name "TYPE", so the TA tries to use node type but there is only node TYPE that causes the TA to run into an error.
Anyone has an idea how to avoid / solve this problem?
Regards
Timo

That's exactly what I used as solution now.
Instead of doing
"select fieldname from tablename"
I do now
"select fieldname as "fieldname" from tablename"
So both in Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server the returned field names of the query are in lower case letters.
Thank you for your help.
Regards Timo

Problem with undo/redo actions in a StyledDocument

Hello,
In my app i have a text area where each user can keep some notes.The document is serialized and saved in the database for later access as StyledDocument, in order to be saved with the formating the user has chosen(for example with certain fonts,text color and size).
What i want to do now is to give to the user the ability to undo/redo his actions. I have these methods implemented and everything worked fine when i was saving and loading simple text in my JTextPane (previously i was saving in the database what user typed as a simple string which meant that the formatting was lost). Now, after loading styled document (using the textPane.setStyledDocument(doc) code line) these actions do not work.
Are there any suggestions on how i can make this work? Is it possible?
I hope i made my problem clear enough
Thanks in advance

Seem like I found the answer to my issue: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/whats-new-2014.html#Undo/Redo enhancements
Undo/Redo enhancements
All undo/redo actions are recorded at the HTML file-level. This means, any manual changes to a CSS file can be undone from ANY related file.
Someone called it Undo/Redo enhancements!? Damn this is the most stupid thing one can imagine about undo/redo! How the heck editing one source file affects the other!? Do whatever you want in Designer mode, but I'm editing SOURCE CODE and need to be able to undo/redo my actions on a file level.
With this change TextEdit or Notepad becomes a more suitable tool for editing HTML/CSS than Dreamweaver.

Problem with invoking an Action in a Menu...

I want the user to be able to decide which color you want the rectangle to be. I put choices in a menu.

Problem with a button action

Hi guys. I am trying to build my first website and I
follow the instructions of a videotutorial of flash 8. But in the
second step (Making it work the buttons) when I had tried to add
action to my selected button, appear a message like this....Cannot
add actions to this selection (translated from spanish) Why?...Is a
conflict between versions 8 and CS3? Please help to fix and learn
Know How?

I'm a newbie to Flash, and I ran into this same issue with
not being able to add actionscript to a button in 3.0. So I clicked
Settings and changed the version to 2.0 in order to do it, and it
worked fine. My only concern is - if you create a file in v3.0,
then switch it to v2.0 midstream, will this cause any issues later
with the file? Have you run into this? Thanks much!

Problem with Manual Advance in Windows!

I just made a KeyNote presentation and saved it as a keynote to play it on my Mac. I also had to export it as a quicktime since in the presentation room the only computer I was told to use was a PC. When I was testing at home the keynote as quicktime on a windows PC i noticed that I wasn't able to actually pass the slides myself but it was automatic (1 second each slide approximately), just like if it was a video. Nonetheless, in my Mac I could perfectly change them myself.
I've already selected to have Manual Advance and I don't really want to use power point as the presentation gets worse.
I have the presentation in a couple of days!!
Thanks.

I have same problem as yours at my project but think about that your project has an jar,dll and properties files these file have to inserted into java sub directory also the jar file must be added into current library(for windows). My problem as yours but OS is linux so little different.
for use the editor I advice the Oracle JDeveloper or more simple JCreator these are simple but not seems confused.
you have files for your editor program(jar,dll,properties).
rxtx.jar \jdk\jre\lib\ext
dll \jdk\bin
jar files must be introduced to editor's library
Note: all API comm additions must removed for clear connection most important.

Problem with PDF table Action Block

Dear All,
I am generatin PDF document using xMII PDF Action block.
I am required to display output of my query in PDF Table.
When my query returns multiple rows data is properly displayed in PDF table.But when my query returns just single row I am unable to see anything in my PDF document.
After working on this for sometime I understood that we are required to give caption for the PDF table to see data populated in it for single row result.
Is this the case?Without giving caption to PDF table will data not get displayed in PDF document for single row output?
Can anyone please help me out with this?
Thanks,
Arti

With Blank caption I am able to see the data, but I get a blank row above my table.This is what I do not want.I want to remove that blank row.
Can you please suggest how can we do this
Thanks,
Arti

Problems with dolby advanced audio driver after upgrade on X230

Hello,
After I downloaded manually realtek audio driver version 6.0.1.6647 and upgraded it on my X230 I get following error:
actual version 7.2.8000.13 of dolby-audiodriver is installed, but the software need driver-version 7.2.7000.7. Please install a correct combination of software and driver.
I found in the net that other users got a similar error on Thinkpad E530 and a conexant driver. There it helped to de-install the driver, no reboot and run the thinkvantage upgrade tool, which repaired the problem automaticly.
I tried it in the same way, but after I de-installed the driver, the upgrade-tool didn't found any upgrade. And I have no conexant driver.
What can I do to fix this error?
Thanks for Help
Martin

Hi mhohhman,
X230 does uses different driver with E530. Please refer followig link for driver.

Problem with slide advancing after video.

Hello,
I'll start by mentioning I'm a Captivate rookie and am just learning. I'm currently using Captivate 5.
I'm using video within captivate and would like to give the user playback control of the video(s) itself. Initally I was using "Slide Video" as the playback bars were not a concern and the request came at the last minute. I believe I need to switch to inserting "FLV or F4V" to gain this control but here is my issue.
When I publish I can control the video just fine, but lets say the video is 5 minutes and I skip 3 minutes in the middle (so I only see 2 minutes of the 5), I still have to wait when the video ends for the remaining time to countdown before the slide advances to the next. How do I get the slide to advance as soon as the video is done, regardless of it's duration?
I'm sure it's easy but it's drivin' me bonkers!!
Thanks in advance for any guidance you fine folks might be able to provide.

Welcome to our community
If you take a look at the properties panel, more specifically, the Timing area, there is an option you might wish to try enabling.
Click image below for possibly larger (and clearer) view
You might try to enable this setting and see if it helps. However, I hold the opinion that a bug exists with Captivate and this feature. In my classroom training I've noticed the option doesn't seem to allow the slide to progress. In other words, don't be surprised if it doesn't work for you. And if it doesn't, please Please PLEASE consider filing a bug report so the issue gains priority on the Adobe side for a fix. (Link to the bug reporting form is in my sig)
