Random question slide not shown when FP 8 or FP 9 output

Hi everyone
I've just begun to use Captivate a month ago, so it is not
that much experience I can contribute with by now.
One thing I have recognized is that I get some problems with
random questions slides made from different question pools when
using Flash Player 8 or 9 in the output otions.
When using Flash Player 7 everything works as supposed: one
random question is shown for every random question slide using one
distinct question pool for each random question slide.
When using one of the two others some of my random question
slides are not shown. There are slides that are played - meaning
that the player shows an empty slide for the time of 3 seconds -
but the content is not shown. This happens only for some of the
random question slides, and those are the same question slides each
time, I publish - but when working or dragging around with the
random question slides and publish again, the problem would come
with some other random question slides, not positioned the same
place as before, but showing the same problem in each published
version.
As written before each question pool is only used once. The
different question slides used in the question pools are all
duplicates, naturally with adjusted content.
Does anyone has experienced something like that before? Could
there be any other trouble with the content when using Flash Player
7 in the output options, like quiz not playing in newly updated
Flash Players ore something like that? Anything?
I appreciate your suggestions or comments! Thanks in advance
and kind regards,
Lars

Some more info - and a working solution...
I have worked on this topic a bit more - and found out, that
I have a problem with output option set to Flash Player 7, too.
When I delete every other navigation option than the "next
question" (what is it called in english?) button, I get this
problem:
The quiz now "freezes" randomly, not every time, but again
and again. The quiz has both random slides from question pools and
simple question slides.
I have found out, that putting the simple question slides
into question pools and then showing a random slide from those
question pools fixes the problem.
Has anyone experienced problems like that? Other solutions?
Kind regards
Lars
Maybe someone has a similar problem.

Random Quiz Slides not displaying in published files when on server

version 4.0
Output - swf\htm
Hello
Have been working on some elearning now locally for a while which combines straight slides then ends with random quiz slides.
Have published locally to c:\ drive and tested the swf\htm files and they play and display fine . However have now published the files to our organisations elearning server so everyone can access and played them back. All works fine till you get to the first random question slide - its just a green blank screen ! The green is the same as the skin I have on the project as a whole.
So basically the problem must be on the server. I have no idea what to try !!
thanks in advance
ps - just adding this bit, I meant to put it in quizzing forum but didn't . Can't see how to move it now
Also just tried adding a normal quiz slide and that displays fine - its when I am using the random quiz slides from a pool. Thanks

thanks for this - feel a bit thick now !
I had no idea they created separate files. That serves me right for not working in separate folders when I am testing and working in the root of the directory (with about 50 other cp files in it !)as I missed it.
Mystery solved - thanks again !

Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?

Hi,
I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool. The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens. You can't get off the quiz slide. The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
Thanks!

I was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
I can finally finish this project.
Good luck.

Certificate Widget and Random Question Slides

I am in the process of evaluating Captivate 4. Twice now I have had an issue with using the random question slides with the certificate widget. In both cases I converted a Captivate 3 course in which the random question slides and corollary question pools had worked as they should. In both, I successfully added the certificate widget to the new course (Captivate 4) following the instructions in help.
In the first course, only one question pool would work. The others simply showed up as a blank slide. I was able to fix that by merging all the questions into the one working question pool. Wasn't the way I had wanted to randomize the questions, but it allowed me to publish the course. The certificate widget did work.
In the second course, none of the questions pools are working and the published version of the course skips right past the random questions that had been interspersed after each topic area. One again, this course had worked just fine in Captivate 3 and with Captivate 4, without the certificate widget. I do not wish to combine all the questions into one question pool. As I noted, I published the course without the widget and the questions worked just fine.
This leads me to believe that I am doing (or not doing) something when I include the widget that is causing the problem. I can't imagine what that would be, but the fact that no one else seems to have posted this issue makes me think it is something I'm doing.
I am not using an LMS. I'm publishing to .html file that resides on our LAN.
I hope someone can help!
Thanks!

Hi Peter,
A number of users (myself included) have encountered issues with the random question slide feature - some of which is due to browser cacheing. If you can spare the time please use the web address I have included below to report this issue to the Adobe Captivate team.

[captivate 3] random question slide doesn't work

hello,
I'm noob in Captivate.
I use Captivate demo (in french).
I want to make a quizz for my students.
So, I create a "question pool manager" with 1 pool project
"reseau_locaux".
This pool project have 13 questions.
Then I click "slides" on the filmstrip, I add a "Random
question slide" and I click on the "Question pool menu" to select
my pool project "reseau_locaux"
After generating project, I have only 1 question from my
question pool project.
I read the help guide but it's not help me.
It gets me crazy...
I hope you understand my english.
thanks

Welcome to our community, Anthony
Basically you are doing everything right. I'm a bit unclear
on what you were expecting to see. Perhaps it will help you if I
explain how the Question Pools and Random Questions work.
You define a pool of questions using the Question Pools
Manager. You advise you have done that. So far so good.
You then insert a Random Question Slide. When you insert one
of these, you point the slide at a Question Pool. You advise that
you have done that too.
I'm guessing here that perhaps you expected that by inserting
a single Random Question Slide you would end up presenting all 13
questions from the pool. Just in random order?
If so, that's not how it was designed to work. What happens
is that a single random question from the pool is presented. If you
desire to see all 13 of your questions, but in random order, you
need to insert 13 Random Question Slides and point them at your
Question Pool.
You may wonder at this point if you do this, will it would be
possible to see perhaps question 2 multiple times. And the answer
to that is no. Once a question has been presented, it is removed
from consideration in the pool. So after the first one is
presented, Captivate randomizes from what remains in the pool.
Hopefully that helps better explain it.
Cheers... Rick

Random Questions are Not Random

The Question Pool has twenty-five (25) questions, and ten (10) Random Question slides in the project. The frist time a learner takes the course the questions are randomly chosen, as they should be. Assuming the learner fails and retakes the quiz, the learner is seeing the same set of questions; not a new 'random set. Is there some setting that I am missing to give them a new random set of questions? Thanks for any help!

Sorry, but that is the way random question slides are designed. The only way to have another set of random slides is to restart the module.

Attachment file type .vcf not shown when send by android gmail

When thunderbird 31.3.0 receives a .vcf attachment (contacts list made by android phone contacts) send from android gmail, it shows the attachment icon next to the list of new messages, but when opening it disappears. In the message no attachment shown, but it is in the message source.
The menu View->Message Body As->'Original HTML' is set.
When I change this option to 'Plain Text', the attchment is shown and can be saved.
Other files like .pdf work ok though in 'Original HTML'
The messages are received by a POP server (tried pop.online.nl and pop.googlemail.com).

I realize that I should not see headers like that, and none of my other received emails that day had them. The particular email in question had other unwanted characters within its message, suggesting that something gone wrong with its encoding. Here is a small sample (i.e. the '=20'):
Subject: Re: Draft email to Claire re topics /possible agenda items for Wa=
ndle consultative group mtg
=20
The email was part of a conversation, and earlier parts of it had far more of these intrusive characters, which were not there when those parts of the conversation were first received. Here is a sample:
I hope you still have your full revised text and can send it to us again.

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Michael Graubart
I did not, in fact, do View / Message / Raw Source when I read the email. I have now gone back to the email and have now tried View / Message / Raw Source to see what the result would be. What happened was that an additional view of the message opened alongside the first one, with an enormous mass of characters which I shall not reproduce here unless I am told that it would be helpful.
But in neither of the views could I find a trace of the attachment. That is what really worries me, in case it happens again unknown to me.

Symbols used in VISIO diagram are not shown when imported to FrameMaker 8.0

I have FrameMaker 8.0 and when importing a visio diagram that includes a symbol, the symbol is not shown in the FrameMaker document correctly. It either is shown as a small box or as a question mark.
Is there a way to work around this issue?

> These symbols are availabe in FM when you insert equations.
Just because the symbols are available in FM in one font doesn't mean
they're available in FM in the font Visio used. This is why Art and
Sheila are asking you about fonts, specifically, whether the font used
in Visio is also available to Framemaker.
Beyond that, OLE is not a stable way to get graphics into Frame (or any
other app, really).
BTW, a German sharp s (ß) is not the same as a beta (β) (which probably
won't make it through NNTP and the forum). They look close, but they're
quite different.

Question slide not advancing on click to continue

I have only one question slide out of 6 and it is a
true/false question. When answered the user clicks submit and the
correct success caption appears and it indicates click anywhere to
continue. The slide doesn't continue when you click on the slide.
When you click the success caption disappears but then you have to
click submit again, the success caption appears, you click anywere
and then the slide continues. I have this slide set the same way as
other true/false slides but it does not function the same way. Why
is it doing this?

Hi,
Please try it by changing the 'on correct answer' setting to 'jump to next slide'.

Purchase Order History SES not shown when not accepted

We are working on 2 systems : one is ECC 6.0 and the other is 4.6.
When i create a SES via ML81N and the SES is not released yet : on the 4.6 version, the SES is shown in the purchase order history, while in the ECC 6.0 version, the SES is not shown in the purchase order history. In ECC 6.0, the SES is shown inthe purchase order history tab after the SES has been accepted.
Is this a setting in customizing or a difference in the 2 versions of SAP?

Hi,
no, it might be a coding error or an inconsistency issue.
Please check the note
442091 - Service entry sheet missing in purchase order hist
In order to repair already existing inconsistencies, you can use report
RMESSRK2 (from Note 141870 or as of Release 4.6C in development class
ML_TOOLS). However, the report must be modified in the two positions
specified in the attachment.
If you can not find the report RMESSRK2 in transaction SE38
in your system - or in transaction SE80 under the development class
ML_TOOLS, then please copy the program from the attached note
ML_TOOLS into your system and correct the coding according to
note 442091.

Slide not advancing when linking to URL

Seems I get past one roadblock and find another...
I have a link to a URL (which is now working
) that opens in a new window. I have the clickbox set
up with the URL and New is checked, as is Continue Playing Project.
On the Options tab I only have Show Hand Cursor and Pause Project
selected. The slide Navigation is set to Go to Next Slide. When you
click the checkbox, obviously I want the URL to display, which it
does in a new window. But I also want the slide to go to the next
slide so that when the new window is closed, the slide has
advanced. Here's what happens - the first time I click the link,
the window opens and the URL displays, but the slide does not
advance. If I close the window and click the link a
second time, the new window opens and displays the URL
and the slide advances the way I want it too. Why does it
work the second time and not the first?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Hi there tvipsm
What other objects are on the slide? It's quite possible that
another object is pausing the slide after you click.

Datatip function not shown when the user hovers over the icon int ADG

When you have a datatip function in a advanced datagrid the datatip does not show when the user hovers over the icon. Is there a way round this?

I have almost same situation. But there are some different. I am using RegisterPointerInputTarget to redirect all touch message to my window. and use InjectTouchInput to simulate each flag, which means, WM_POINTERDOWN,WM_POINTERUPDATE,WM_POINTERUP. If user
touches monitor, I simulate DOWN, if user swipes their finger, I simulate UPDATE, if user lifts finger, I simulate UP.
Then the interesting point is, system consider user's finger as primary pointer, and my injected touch as secondary pointer. windows desktop and windows explorer skip all my injected touch. I really hate that.
However IE and chrome will accept my injected touch, they don't caret about primary pointer.
In order to fix this problem, I call AccNotifyTouchInteraction before calling InjectTouchInput.
According to the MSDN, AccNotifyTouchInteraction will notify the destination window before InjectTouchInput. But this idea still fails, which is disappointing.

Component Slider not working when loaded from another swf file

I have a simple Flash application that uses a component Slider to increase or decrease the size of the text in a TextArea (ta). It works perfectly fine on its own, however, when I try to load the same swf file from another application, I get the following error...
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property fl.managers:IFocusManager::form not found
on fl.managers.FocusManager and there is no default value.
at fl.controls::Slider/thumbPressHandler()
Code...
import fl.events.*;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
ta.text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet";
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.color = 0xCCCCCC;
tf.font = "Trebuchet MS";
tf.size = 12;
slider.addEventListener(SliderEvent.THUMB_DRAG, sliderChange);
style();
function style():void
    ta.setStyle("textFormat", tf);
function sliderChange(e:SliderEvent):void
    tf.size = slider.value;
    ta.setStyle("textFormat", tf);
Could the containing swf file that I'm loading the slider swf file in anyway effect the slider application? I don't quite understand why it works on its own, but not when loaded from another app.

add a slider component to the main (loading) swf's library.
