Progess Bar in Slide Presentaion
I have a slide presentation swf embedded in a main swf. The
slide presentation swf acts as an interface to view slides.
However, the images I am loading into the viewer are large jpg's.
They take a while to load and without a progress bar, there is no
way for the user to know anything is loading. Is it possible to
have a progress bar displayed between each image that is loaded
into the slide screens?
-R
Taken from the SDK help file:
'// Start the progress bar
Dim m_oProgBar As SAPbouiCOM.ProgressBar
Set m_oProgBar = m_App.StatusBar.CreateProgressBar("My Progress Bar", 10, True)
m_oProgBar.Value = 0
'// Forward\Backward commands
Dim iPos As Integer
iPos = m_oProgBar.Value
m_oProgBar.Value = iPos u2013 1 / +1
'// Stop the progress bar
m_oProgBar.Stop
Set m_oProgBar = Nothing

I am facing to open slide presentation, appear a pop up saying my resoluition is not correct. I had tried all resolution but I keep not abble to view my photos in slide presentaion. What Could be this problem? This started after I update the Iphoto. I have a Mac Mini 2010, and have the latest IOS and Iphoto software.
looks like this is your network connection settings problem, you'd better only keep one network adaptor online and linked, if you do not understand how to setup windows routing, this is completely not firefox problem. buddy. wish you goodluck.

Two progress bar joined or two diferent scale range in one progess bar!
Hello guys,
I try to get 2 diferent scales range in one progess bar. But I cant get it.
So, I tried to join 2 progess bar putting the fit scales to look similar like I want to. One from 0 to 100 and the second from 100 to 300.
In case I need to use 2 progress bar, the problem is the second start with mark in the start, I would like the second to be totally clear from 0.
Is it possible?.
Regards.
Solved!

could you change the way ff behaves in fullscreen? i hate it when i moves whole page on tab-bar display. tab-bar should slide on page without moving it
I agree and looked everywhere for
http://www.krickelkrackel.de/autohide/
to no avail.
Can someone please change how to make fullscreen not push the page down when toolbars are shown on mouse hover in FF? The toolbars should behave more like IE. This would make FF SO much better. Please dont take the IE comparison the wrong way as FF is quite superior and the ONLY browser I use, but this one thing has got to be changed. It's irritating the way FF pushes the whole web page down while in fullscreen mode when the toolbars are shown on mouse hover. -
Hi Folks,
Does anyone know how to create a slider or scrub bar per slide. The one that comes with the Captivate 5 skin is a slider for the entire duration of the project. I need one specific to each slide.
Thanks,
ChrisThere is no standard object in Captivate that will give you a scrub/slider bar for an individual slide that would enable a user to move at will from the first frame of the slide to the last and any point in between.
The default slider on a Captivate playbar is the closest you get out of the box. -

Is there a way to get rid of the control bar which pops up anytime you move the mouse during the slide show? I am putting together an audio visual presentation with two laptops and a bunch of other stuff.
(video/audio mixer, stage lighting etc.) With a split screen I can run iPhoto/iMovie from either laptop on the "big" screen while controlling the sound from the laptop through the small screen....
Problem is, while the audience is watching the big screen, and I touch the mouse, the control bar shows up at the bottom of their screen......no good....
Thanks.You're rather far beyond the intended uses of iPhoto there my friend. No there's no way to stop that menu appearing. You might be best to consider using a different application or export the slideshow as a Quicktime Movie. Alternative apps which might help are PhotoToMovie or PhotoPresenter, both of which integrate with iPhoto.

Scroll Bar or Slide Bar to control Playhead or Layer On/Off
Hello Lingo Forum...
I need to generate a script that will control the location of the Playhead or Turn off/on Layers based on the location of a slider bar. For example.. A slider bar needs to be created and lingo attached so when a user moves the slider up/down or Left/Right a Sprite will change based on the slider's location. I am not sure if it is better to have the Lingo turn Layers on and off based on location, or to move the playhead to swap sprites. I am looking for anyone who has accomplished this or has a link to an example of it. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated for my LINGO skills are remedial at best.
Thanks
-BillI think in this instance the slider should display a series of bitmaps in different frames...
What I was trying to drive at in my previous post is that if all you are wanting to do is display a different bitmap based on slider position then it can easily be done in a single frame with a single sprite (displaying whichever bitmap in the sequence based on slider position). I would organise the slider to broadcast some kind of an "update" message when changed (and send its current value with this - as long as the ratio or limits are understood) and have the bitmap sprite catch this message and respond by displaying the appropriate cast member. -
At first I had put buttons on all my slides to manually move
forward and back. But then I needed a pause that would start and
stop the audio, so I selected a playback bar with the the Skin
setting. To make the slide stop, however I still had to have a
button that paused the slide after the audio was done.
Over all this mostly works.
However it seems that occasionally pressing the next button
in the skin playback bar will cause Captivate to just "flash" over
a slide. I see it blink on for just a moment, and then it is gone.
I've checked the ones that it does it to, and they aren't always
the same, and I don't see anything that could be causing the
problem. They are set to display for a certain length of time, they
have a button to pause them, and so on.
Any idea where to look?I think I've figured out what the problem is.
I want the user to stay on a slide until they click the
playbar "next" button.
Since there is no way to just stop a slide by itself. I've
put a button which pauses the slide onto the slide.
That button is "hidden" by being underneath the place where
the playbar will show up.
It seems to work when I publish it directly out of Captivate
But when I then load that swf into Articulate, both the
playbar next and the next next are being pressed and that skips me
ahead.
It seems the answer is to make a button that pauses the
slide, but has an action of nothing.
Does that seem sensible? Does anybody else have ideas? -

Edited by: uppala on Dec 23, 2009 11:31 AMYour code is execting on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) which means the GUI can't repaint itself until the long running task finishes.
Read the JProgressBar API and follow the link to the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Progress Bars" for a working example. While in the tutorial you should also read the section on "Concurrency" which explains about the EDT. -
I am trying to better understand the edit sliders in QT 7 Pro.
In 6 Pro I would hold the shift key and drag the slider from an IN point to an OUT point of my choosing. This would now be highlighted, or selected. I could then cut or copy that selection. When I try that in QT 7, as soon as I click down on my IN point, everything is selected all the way back to the beginning of the movie. In essence, it is selecting backwards. I also notice that the two (in-out?) markers appear when I click anywhere along the scrub line. I am getting things done but clumsily. I know there must be some handy, easy ways to manage these powerful new features. Tips, please. Thanks.
*Apple's Quicktime Guide seems nothing more than a bunch of ads. I can't find any actual "guide."
nÔÔdle--hëadUse the letter i and o keys to select in and out points. They will be created at the location of the playhead.
Hold down the shift key and use the arrow keys to add (or remove) frames. -

Hi Risdian, thanks for the comments and suggestions, however none seemed to lead to any success. When setting the carrier off automatic, after a few seconds of searching the device returns the message, "Unable to load network list", and I have placed my sim into another unlocked iPhone 5 and it worked perfectly, picking up service almost immediately. I can also iMessage and connect to wifi fine, so i don't fully understand the issue.
I guess my iPhone is in need of repair, so if there are no other conceivable 'at home' fixes, i'll have to bring the phone to the apple store for a diagnosis. Any other suggestions or comments would be happily welcomed
Thanks for replying and commenting, you were very helpful -
Lock the progress bar in the Adobe Captivate 5.5 playbar.
I recently read some interesting postings from cpguru website. One of them is how to lock the progress bar.
(http://www.cpguru.com/tutorial-lock-the-progress-bar-in-the-adobe-captivate-playbar/)
It says that we can lock the progess bar with simple three lines of AS2 code.
this.stop();
delete _root.cpPbcBar_mc.pbcBar_mc.pbcSlider_mc.onMouseDown;
delete _root._level0.cpPbcBar_mc.pbcBar_mc.pbcSlider_mc.onMouseDown;
I would like to use this code, but my captivate version is 5.5, which means
I do need to have AS3 code. Is there anyone who already figure out how to do it with AS3?
If so, could you give me some guidance.
SamiHi Sami,
I am not sure if you would like to hide it or lock it.
I can recommend you to use the a system defined variable and set it to hide the play bar on ceratin slides so it would not appear on those slide.
Thanks!

How do I reposition image scroller bar from middle to the right
I am customising an image thumb scroller. and trying to follow up previously developed code.
All worked fine until the last moment when thumbnails bar is positioned as if its starting point is in the middle of the screen. I suppose it was developed for the flash screen layout with centered coordinates. My stage probably has them set to the upper left corner.
I can not make the bar move.
My stage size is 1024 x 768
Where do I do my math in the code so the thumbnails will be located in the middle of the screen rather than in its right hand.
Here are the code snippets responsible for the thumbnails build up:

Captivate 3 - Slides don't display
I've got a user who has a LARGE .cp file - about 51MG - and when he opens the presentation, the slides don't display. I can see 70 items in the Library, but the Storyboard, Edit and Branching views only display one blank slide. Title Bar says Slide 1 of 1. I've copied to my Desktop because the presentation takes 'forever' to open from the Network and thought maybe that might be part of the problem. But don't know what else to try.
Is the file just too large? Anything we can do to fix it? Here's the Info on the Project:
Thanks!
DebHi Deb
Unfortunately the project is likely corrupt. There is one thing to try at this point. Create a blank project that has identical project resolution. Then try importing a few slides from the problem project. If that is successful, rinse and repeat as needed until you recover.
Beyond that, it's time to drink a strong Margarita, roll up your sleeves and rebuild the project again from scratch. Assuming you have a working SWF, you can use it as a guide.
Best of luck to you... Rick

My Mac Pro restarted several time last night due to power outages during a storm.
Now when I boot it there is a progess bar under the spining wheel on bootup.
Boot process takes longer then usual as well.
How can I fix this?Almost seems like it is stuck in a loop of starting to Safe Boot. Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
