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 results not displaying in swf file

I am creating an interactive cd which basically runs a blank
projector which then loads in various swf files from fscommand
folder as and when required.
Part of the CD is a quiz - created using one of the standard
flash templates. When this is loaded into the main projector as a
swf file it runs perfectly until it gets to the "results page" - at
this point it returns the blank templates e.g Answered = 0.
If you export the quiz as a projector file it runs fine and
gives the results as expected too.
Is there a way to make it run properly as a swf?

Hey Arunbe,
To be honest I'm pretty new to the Action Script side of
things - I'm not actually very sure where and how I check that the
variables are declared properly?!
I would really appreciate any pointers you could give me in
this area!!
I have attached some code from the quiz - it might not be the
right thing though!
Thanks for any help you can offer!!!

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.

Audio Delay After Random Quiz Slide

Captivate PC Ver 7.0.0.118
I have text-to-speech audio narration on every slide which begins at .5 seconds. I have a random quiz question on slide X. On slide X+1, the audio narration takes a considerable amount of time to begin playing, upwards of 15 seconds when it should start at .5s.
I've tested many things. Ultimately removing the random quiz slide fixes the problem, but that is not an option. Moving the quiz slide backward or forward makes the problem consistent in which the audio is delayed on any slide which directly follows the quiz.
I've always set up my courses with intermittent quizzes for user engagement and have rarely encountered this issue to which I cannot find a cure. Any help would be awesome.
Thank you.

Hi,
Based on our experiences, we have encountered similar behavior.
Because RDP was oroginally designed to flush the video frame buffer to the client about once every 100 milliseconds. While this is fine for most Windows GDI applications, graphic intensive applications, 3D applications and applications requiring
audio / video synchronization don’t fare so well. With respect to streaming media in particular, RDP is only meant to cache the bitmap files (compressed) not the audio which is uncompressed over the wire.
Quoted from this blog below:
Terminal Services and Graphically Intensive Applications
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2009/04/17/terminal-services-and-graphically-intensive-applications.aspx
In addition, there are also a few suggestions within the blog which could improve RDP session performance such as update drivers, increase network bandwidth and frame rate on the client side.
Best Regards,
Amy

Bridge CS3 Does Not Display Pentax PEF files

Hi,
I am running Vista and have Bridge CS3 installed on my Notebook. I updated Bridge to v 2.1.1.9 and have added Camera RAW 4.5. My problem is that Bridge does not display Pentax RAW files from a K20 camera (its on the supported list). DNG and JPG files show correctly. Bridge only shows a PEF Icon for each image. When you double click on the Icon, the file opens in Camera RAW 4.5 correctly and also in Photoshop CS3.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to see the PEF images in Bridge?
Thanks
Keith

Revisit the download page, look at the instructions, and make sure you unzipped ACR to the correct folder, and you don't have an ACR in two places.

Versioing: CVS Status not displaying new repository files

I did some quick searches and did not find this in the forum. Hopefully it is not a duplicate. If so, please point me to the original thread.
We have a multi-developer project underway with Creator. We are using CVS for the shared source repository. When one developer checks in a new file and other developer's use the CVS Status option, the new files do not display as 'Needs Checkout'. Of course, any files the user already has checked out display with the appropriate status but new repository files are missing.
Since we use CVS extensively, right now the developers communicate the new files and then check them out via command line CVS. We have the IDE set in 'expert' mode, etc.
Is this a know bug or is there some setting for the IDE to get it to display files with status 'Needs Checkout' from the cvs repository?

As per the documentation at:
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_10.html
Based on what operations you have performed on a checked out file, and what operations others have performed to that file in the repository, one can classify a file in a number of states. The states, as reported by the status command, are:
Needs Checkout
Someone else has committed a newer revision to the repository. The name is slightly misleading; you will ordinarily use update rather than checkout to get that newer revision.
...Thus the 'cvs status' command works only on local files and 'Needs Checkout', from cvs documentation itself, is a misnomer and is really more like 'Needs Update'.
In Creator (and NetBeans), the nodes on the cvs explorer actually map to physical files and thus do not display nodes for files that may only be in the server. But you do raise an interesting question though; creator could display virtual nodes for files not in local workspace thereby providing a preview before actual checkout...

Adobe will not convert a Publisher file to PDF - it indicating an ERROR

Adobe will not convert a Publisher file to PDF. It is indicating an error

Hi brussels1965,
Please let us know the Adobe Application you are using and also the error message that you are getting.

How do I maintain high resolution of my Publisher file when I convert it to PDF?

How do I maintain the high resolution of my Publisher file when I convert it to PDF (I do not have access to a PostScript printer). Am I correct in understanding that the simple answer would be to convert the .pub file into a .ps file and then save this as a PDF? Which is no use to me because every time I try to convert my Publisher file to PostScript, the process fails because it is looking for connection to a PostScript printer. I need to send a high resolution (minimum 300dpi) PDF version of high resolution MSPublisher files to a commercial printer. And time is running out!

Hi,
The version set information and the tag hierarchy are stored within the catalog. It sounds as though you haven't brought over the catalog from your old computer.
The recommended way to transfer elements from one computer to a new one is to use the Backup catalog to CD, DVD or Hard Drive on your old system and then use Restore catalog from CD, DVD or Hard Drive on your new system. Is this how you did it?
That should have preserved your version sets.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database. Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer. If you have one that matches that it will label it. You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
This script will only work on Macs:

Firefox not displaying buttons and boxes when allow other pages to use their fonts instead of my selection is selected

Firefox not displaying buttons and boxes when allow other pages to use their fonts instead of my selection is not selected. The irritating thing is that Firefox used to display pages until FF 31. Please fix this
Thanks
Randy

The missing icons are supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can probably see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.
You will have to make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts to see such an icon font.

.jpg files created on iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uploading them to American Heart Assoc. website?

.jpg files created on Iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uplaoding to American Heart Association fund raising webpage? .jpg's from Canon camera uploaded without any problems? The website automatically reduces the file size to <100kb.

I haven't contacted AHA about this issue. The .jpg files created on Canon SLR uploaded correctly, but the photo from iPhone which was emailed to my PC using MS IE. The .jpg was browsed to from my desktop and is submitted. It shows up in draft form then when uploading it fails saying it is not a .jpg file or .png file? I have had other issues in the past emailing iPhone pictures. They were not editable after being sent to a PC. I guess we can retake photos with a non-Apple camera.

Folder Redirection policy is not applied to a user, when the server target is changed, but works after resetting the windows profile.

Folder Redirection policy is not applied to a user, when the server target is changed.
After server target is changed via group policy, when user login (roaming profile)first time, the the new server target has not been applied, instead it's pointing to the old folder redirection path.
But if we reset the windows profile (roaming ), the new folder redirection works, can you please specify a solutions that the new folder redirection works when the user login for the first time. so it reduce the time on resetting users profile.
it seems that we need to delete the old folder redirection path from the user profile (roaming user profile) via group policy or similar solutions..
Many Thanks

> But when the specific users login they all get the same error, it
Is the old server removed from the domain? Seems so - or some other
authentication related issue, hard to tell from here...
> seems that the roaming user profiles still keeps the old server details,
Yes - if you change redirection targets, FR moves content from old to
new, and only if this ends sucessfully, it will update the redirection
target.
Make the old redirection target accessible to the user and you'll be fine.

Conditional Branching with quiz slides not working

Attempting to use conditional branches with quiz slidescauses
the other quiz slides in my presentation to not work correctly. I
am attempting to create a 'test-out' pre-quiz for a segment of
slides in the presentation. I followed the instructions to add
conditional branching per page 46 of the Breeze Presenter User
Guide to obviously no avail. Is there a simple straightfoward
manner in which someone has successfully used conditional branches
with their quiz slides in their presentation?

Hi,
I had the same issue.Apparently as of now PDF templates do not support conditional formatting for XML Publisher.
See Tim Dexter's response to my query at the bottom of this thread...
Re: Using the '%' operator in microsoft word template builder for XMLP
I could get some conditional formatting to work on the pdf template but only for the form field font,size and styles using Javascript, but I don't think there is a way to display values for the form field based on an if condition...

Slides not displaying correctly

I have a client who has recorded a number of demonstration modules and is finding that certain captured slides are not playing back correctly. When in the main edit view the captured background seems to display correctly, however when it's previewed a large section of the screen appears blank. When I use 'find background in library' and export the background to Photoshop, the .bmp displays with the blank section (as it does when previewed F4 in Captivate). So why is it displaying fine as a background in edit view but not in preview, when published or when exported? Any thoughts much appreciated!! It is like the captured background is almost an animated gif and what I am seeing in the edit view is the second frame. To fix it I am current screen grabbing the correct view in Captivate and re-importing a cropped image as a 'patch' that features the missing elements
Many thanks for any thoughts
M

Hi Lilybiri and thanks for getting back
It's done in Captivate 6. Slide quality is JPEG - I changed that as a possible fix.
It's not an FMR slide. As I say the background image is in the background folder of the library - it just doesn't look like the image that appears in the main area in edit view!

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!
Lori

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.
