Record Audio in Captivate 4 for PP Slide with multiple mouse click animation

I have a power point presentation imported into Captivate 4. Several of the slides have custom animation that ocurr's on mouse click. What is the best way to record the audio for these slides and have the audio sync to the right portion of the slide?

I am afraid there is no direct way to solve your problem. You can identify the time at which the movie stops because of an on-click animation. At every location, insert a transparent caption (blank caption) and add audio to the caption.
Thus once the movie pauses for the user to click, audio wont appear till user click on the swf. Once he does, movie timeline will move ahead and transparent caption will appear thus playing the audio file.
Hope this helps. Do let us know if it works.
Regards,
Mukul

UI Design help / Slider with multiple thumbs?

I've got an application which is trying to set multiple bounds
around a single value. For instance, if my value was "temperature",
possible bounds might be cold, temperate, hot.
I want my user to be able to assign all of those ranges.
My first thought was to use a slider with multiple thumbs. I could
have 0 and 100 as min and max, say, with 2 sliders. Everything
to the left of the first slider is "cold", everything between the two
sliders is "temperate", and everything to the right of the second
slider is "hot.
Of course, JSlider does not have support for multiple thumbs.
So, I was hoping someone could either suggest a freeware/LGPL
widget that did *or* could propose a clever redesign to obviate
the need for one.
In reality, my problem is more complex -- multiple values with
varying start values, end values, and number of thresholds. I'm
using multiple sliders right now, and it's functional, but really fugly.
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide!

Report for CS15 tcode with multiple material nos. in selection screen.

I want to develop a report for cs15 but with multiple materials.
Like in cs15 we enter the material and its plant, then click on multi level check box and get the output. But cs15 works only for a single material. I want to develop a report in which i'll give multiple material nos. and then i should get the output for each material entered just as the output that would appear in cs15 for that material.
How do i do it.
I have tried but i'm not able to track back.

Hi Priti,
try develop a interactive report which lists all the materials in the first screen and when you double click on each of the material then call transaction CS15 output by skipping the first screen .Use set parameter to pass the material .

Sirisha

Looking up the values in a waveform graph with a mouse click

Hi,
Does anyone know how to look up the values in a waveform graph with a mouse
click but... without the cursor legend on, if i press in the waveform graph
nothing happens, i must search my cursors and only then i can see the values
of my signal data?! Isn't there any other way?
Best regards,
Thijs Boerée

Dear Chad,
I know of the function "bring cursor to center". I also figured out that
when i use a property node of the cursor array of clusters, that i can see
that some values change when i move the cursor (i can see the X and Y scale
value change of the graph and also the values of the mouse pointer (in
points due to screen resolution)) But in this cluster i can't set the mouse
position. I allready made a VI where i can see the bounds of my
waveformgraph and I have the Xscale (min and max) and the Yscale (min and
max), with a linear fit i can translate my mouse position to X an Y scale
values and when i click on my waveform graph the cursor go's to that
position (property node of the cursor position), only disadvantage is that i
only have the bounds of my plot area and not the position, i do have the
position of my waveform graph but the plot area isn't allways in the center,
if i could extract the position of the plot area i may find a solution to
solve this problem.
And to file a product question:
I would like to see the function that with a mouse click a little menu
appears and that there are options to for example set a marker on that data
and when you right click on it, that there are options to remove it or to
add comment, a 2D array could make a list of the different channels with
it's markers (time stamps and comments).
Best regards,
And thank you for your help.

Draw with single mouse click, help me!!!!

I am using this code - as you understood from it- to paint with the mouse click.
please help me either by completing it or by telling me what to do.

You can't save a graphics object like that and then paint on it.
What you need is to use a BufferedImage, paint on that, and then paint that to the screen.
See my paintarea class. You are welcome to use + modify this class as well as take any code snippets to fit into whatever you have but please add a comment where ever you've incorporated stuff from my class

Is there a way to access Bookmarks with 1 mouse click?

Running XP, Firefox 4.0.1. I used to be able to open my bookmarks with one mouse click. Now I click on the icon, move the mouse down to "from internet explorer", then to the folder, and finally to the site shortcut. Is there a way to eliminate the extra steps?
Thanks,
Joe

You can open the Bookmarks in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > Bookmarks (Ctrl+B)
You can find toolbar buttons to open the bookmarks (star) and the history (clock) in the sidebar in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar. 
Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window. 
One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu. 
The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar. 
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" 
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

Captivate 7 question - slide with audio and light boxes not functioning properly

I am currently working a project and cannot figure something out.
I have a slide with 9 smartshape buttons on it. When each button is clicked it brings up a lightbox. Each lightbox has it's own close button. When the lightbox is closed by the user then the user immediately sees the 9 button screen and can choose another button to view and read, and so forth. I have the lightboxes working fine.
Now, I added text to speech. It is a mere 15 seconds in length, but it contains some important content and the directions. I want the text to speech audio to stop playing if the user goes ahead and clicks on one of the 9 buttons which then brings up a lightbox. I want the audio to then resume when they close the lightbox. OK I have all of that working in a technical sense.
I've also tried this advanced action, but this stops the Audio entirely, however it does solve the autoadvance issue. so I am just trading issues.
I also have "back and next" nav buttons on the slide, so the user must click one or the other to proceed off the slide. Ok those worked.
Here is the issue. Once I added the text to speech audio, at the end of 17.3 seconds, whatever lightbox the user may be viewing and they hit the close lightbox button, captivate automatically sends the user to the next slide. No clicking "Next" or anything. I can't figure out why this is occurring.
Prior to adding audio the slide worked as it should with the user being able to click each of the 9 buttons to "read some info" then close it and click another button on the slide, etc. They could do this in any order they wanted.
When I added the audio, I set the advanced actions so if a user clicked on one of the buttons, the audio would stop playing until they came back to the main screen. Ok no problem getting that to function - except it stops functioning at the end of 17.3 seconds.
What am I missing?
Thanks for any help!!!

Correct I have only 15 seconds of audio with the slide. no audio with any of the light boxes. Those are "read only" light boxes.
If the user clicks a shape button early, before the entire audio has played, I want the audio to stop, so the user can read the lightbox info, then as they click back to the slide away from the lightbox, I want the audio to resume playing - so they can hear the rest of the audio. But, this is where is doesn't function properly as when the audio finishes playing at 15 seconds. The next shape button the user clicks on to shows the lightbox, but when they click to close the lightbox, the lightbox closes then sends the user to the next slide. They haven't had a chance to view any of the other shape buttons and the information found in those corresponding light boxes.
I hope this clarifies.
Any thoughts?

Headset not recording audio in Captivate 7

I can't get any sound recording when using Captivate 7 on PC. Using Microsoft LifeChat LX 3000 USB headset. Works fine in all other apps. Tried 3 separate MS LX3000 headsets and external USB mic. Works fine for two other coworkers with exact same hardware setup and audio settings. Any solutions?

Are you launching Captivate with Run As Administrator privilege?
If one of your co-workers logs onto your PC with their user profile, does the same microphone that doesn't work for you work OK for them?

Having someone else record audio in Captivate 5 presentation

Does anyone know how I have someone else record on an captivate 5 presentation if they don't Captivate? I have created online training and I need it translated. They do not need to publish, or create the presentation - they just need to record audio. I had the functionality in Adobe Presenter and I am hoping that it exists in Captivate 5. - Please help!

Welcome to our community
Generally speaking, they can just watch your finished Captivate presentation and use an audio recording application such as Audacity, SoundBooth or other to record the narration. Then they supply that back to you as one or more WAV or MP3 files. You then insert those files into your Captivate projects and re-publish.
Cheers... Rick

Tip for Data Merge with Multiple Records (labels, etc.)

I have seen many InDesign Data Merge questions about how to create sheets of mailing labels, especially the problem of getting only one label per page, when you need 30 or more.
Adobe's instructions are poor and incomplete in that InDesign doesn't step out the records from a data source - it steps out the FRAMES that contain the data field placeholders.
That is why you only need to place a text or image frame once on a single page - during the datamerge, InDesign will create the additional FRAMES for each record, and it will create the pages required to hold them.
You do have to set the desired spacing on the
If you create the frame on a Master page, ID allows you to update the data source (when it changes) in the Data Merge tool panel.
These are very nice and robust features, but the documentation for them is confusing to many people.
You will find more great in-depth help for Data Merge, with screen captures and attachments, here in the forum.

For a multiple record merge you need one set of placeholders, then set the margins and spacing in the merge options so the positioning is correct.
Warning: Using Preview in a multiple record merge will corrupt the file. If you press the preview button, Undo after looking at the preview, then merge without using preview.

How do you display the marker values LabVIEW has chosen for a slider with uniformly spaced markers?

I am trying to set up a slider in a program to control an instrument. For the most part, using uniformly spaced markers and just setting the slider's (and scale's) min and max values with a property node works well. However, for some sets of extrema for the slider, the last two marker values are very close together. I tried making a sequence where I: Set mins and maxes in frame 0, Get the marker values in frame 1, Go thru them and make sure the last two are not too close together in frame 2, and re-set them in frame 3. However, the marker values that come out of the property node when I try to get the ones set by Labview seem to be the default for the slider, rather than the new ones Labview figured out. If there was only a few ranges for the slider, I'd just majually set the marker values. However, there are multiple configurations for the instrument, and thus multiple ranges for the slider, including custom ones. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

What I mean is that after Labview automatically picks the markers, I tried to use a property node to view the markervalues[] array. That array, however, appears to be the default for the slider. A picture is included of what I mean by having two values too close together.

Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back." How in PP 2010 for mac????

I do presentations in PP10. I am new to macair, and used to Windows. HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"? I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back. The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box. I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC. How do I do it with the Mac????
Thanks

Hi Rod,
As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.
