Record Keystroke to move forward in Captivate 8

I'm creating an interactive tutorial where I have a question like, "To answer some questions you must type an "x". Please type in an "x" here: ". After the here: the user would then be required to type in an X to then move forward in the tutorial. Is that functionality possible in Captivate 8?

A tutorial you want? Possible it is? You asked.
Okay, so here's how I would approach it. Insert a Text Entry Box object on the slide. Program it so it Validates. (there is a check box in properties for "Validate User Input".
Then configure the correct entry.
You might also want to configure the playback controls to be hidden on this slide. Otherwise, the user could just bypass the slide. You would do this by configuring the OnEnter action for the slide to be "Hide Playbar".
Hope this gets you started... Rick

Captivate will not record ALL screen movements

I have been using Camtashia and recently move to another
company where they want to start using Captivate. I just bought
Captiveate and I am getting very aggrevated! Captivate will not
record all my movements with the mouse or when a screen changes. It
appears that everything is driven by an actual mouse click. Only
when I move my mouse around and then click will it actuall record
the "action".
Please tell me there is a way for Captivate to record all
mouse movements, keystrokes, changes in applications just as I see
it when I am actually doing the recording.
I dont need all this fancy highlighting and project wizards,
I just simply want Captivate to record EXACTLY what I do and see
while I am recording.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi Tmy8ster and welcome to our community
No doubt you are frustrated if you are expecting Captivate to
behave like Camtasia. Yes, both create similar output, but both
accomplish it in entirely different ways.
Perhaps the following link to a thread where I attempted to
explain it will help:

How do I get Captivate 8 (MAC) to record keystrokes?

I am trying to do the following and am very confused...I thought Captivate records keystrokes and then let's users try out what is recorded.
For example, I am trying to record a log in screen. I record my screen where I type in my username and password. When I play it back, it does not show the text typing but rather it suddenly appears.
Then I want the user to practice, but when I record for an assessment, again, it does not create boxes for users to type in the information. Is there a tutorial that shows me how to make this happen?
Thanks!

I looked for drivers for my superdrive but they don't appear to be available from the manufacturer (Sony). Fortunately I was able to load the contents of the installation disk onto the mac side of my computer and transfer it onto the windows side where I could install it. So I am fine for now but it would be nice to have a functioning optical drive on my windows side if possible.
The superdrive is internal. I downloaded the bootcamp support files from bootcamp assistant right before installing windows so I assume if a driver exists it would have been installed.
Do you know where I could get a Windows 8 driver for an internal OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5690H?
Thank you for your help.

Recording keystrokes and mouse clicks?

Greetings,
I need to be able to make scripts/macros by recording keystrokes and mouse clicks with location.
Is this possible with Automator?
Does anyone know of a way program to do this?
It seems so simple.
Thanks

Keyboard shortcuts were often missed. For example, I tried this sequence many times.
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to first line and cursor is at the beginning of the first line)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-DownArrow to move cursor down one line and select the first line
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.
Automator never would capture those key strokes.
But today I has a break through. This sequence does work:
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to bottom of the file and the cursor is placed below the last line.)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-UpArror to move cursor up one line and select the last line.
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.
about 70% of the time this did get recorded correctly (I did maybe 3 recordings and one failed to select). Once it got recorded correctly it worked reliably.
So it seems to be able to capture some sequences but not others. Both sequences work very reliably when I type them but automator can only capture the last sequence.
Thanks for the suggestions. This tool is better than nothing but not anything I would recommend.

Is there a way to use the common J-K-L keystrokes to play forward and backward in iMovie '11?

Is there a way to use the common J-K-L keystrokes to play forward and backward in iMovie '11? Most editing apps--like Final Cut Pro, QuickTime Pro, Avid, etc.--use this convention. I find not having it slows editing down considerably? I don't see it listed in keyboard shortcuts; is there any way to add it? Thanks!

I don't think so. If you click iMovie/Help, you will see a list of all keyboard shortcuts.
Here they are.

Move forward even on incorrect answer with infinite attempts?

Hello,
I want to use captivate for a summative assessment where students can have inifinite attempts at each question and are able to move backwards and forwards through the quiz. From what I can see at the moment when I set the question level attempts to infinite the slide never progresses until they get the answer correct. I want them to be able to change their answer but move forward on submit even if their answer is incorrect? At the moment I can't seem to see a way of doing this? Is my only option to use custom slides?
Thanks.

You are correct that if you set infinite attempts on a question then Captivate will assume you wanted the student to remain on that question until they got it correct.
Developers often find it difficult to understand how Captivate's quiz questions work. There are many ways you can configure the question options. In fact there are good reasons for seemingly bizarre behaviours, but those reasons are often masked by the way your settings are configured.
As a sample: Once the participant submits an answer for a quiz slide (correct or incorrect) and then progresses to another slide, their answer for that slide is locked in. If you have multiple attempts on that question allowed, AND you have backward movement allowed, THEN your participant can move back to the previous question and reattempt it, but if you don't have the Retry caption or Failure levels turned on, Captivate will then only appear to allow them to submit a correct answer.
If you want the user to be able to move forward even if their answer is incorrect, just enable the SKIP button on the question slide. The user can then opt to click this button to move to the next question.

Please Help! Can't move forward.Portfolio Recovery and Stellar Recovery. WHAT'S NEXT?

I have the same story most have heard 100x. When I went away to college I racked up debt and made poor financial decisons because I didn't have a good concept of money and Credit. Credit like most teens was this invisible forever giving gift and if I paid the minimums I would be ok'. Suprisingly, my minimum wage retail job didn't provide a stable income and my balances grew. I got overwhelemed really quickly and instead of dealing with the issue. I did a out of sight out of mind. Fast forward to present and I am cleaning up all the mess I made at 18-21 Y.O. From this site I have made a some nice leaps to the right direction. Last year around this time I was at a 420 now I am at a 612! Recently got engaged and me and my Fiancee are looking to purchase a home by the end of this year/ begining of next year. My income is stable, my career is stable, I have a little savings. The only thing holding me back is CS. I thought my best way to move CS faster is to get my 2 Collections deleted. One is from Stellar Recovery for 152 (old comcast bill/cable) from 2013 and the other is from Portfolio Recovery for 676 (I think old BestBuy cc) from 2012. I sent Stellar Recover a DV letter it arrived today. I sent the letter because I have heard a lot of positive things about Stellar. That they delete a lot of accounts and they do so quickly. Also, with such a low balance, I am hoping they feel it's not worth the man hours to even try to look for the information. In terms of Portfolio Recovery I sent a DV letter but the address was wrong (got the alert today) so I called Fedex and asked them to return it. I think that might have been a great mishap. I have read many articles and PR and they seem to be known as the Sharks of the Debt Collectors and sometimes sending DV is a death sentence. I recently read article that you may not even be on their radar but when you send a DV you are letting them know you are a person who is conscience about his/her debt and wants to fix it; it's like blood in the water. They will now pursue you without abandon and possibly sue. My question is, should I send the letter or leave it be? I'm just worried since I am in SOL for both I don't want to draw unnessary attention but I also feel like a waiting duck and desperately want to move forward in my life.

In the same article the repoter was talking to some of the Employees. A staff memeber is quoted as yelling out "We got one" it was a man who had some really large medical expenses and had been unemployed for a very long time. As soon as he got his first paycheck they started in on garnishing his check. They are ruthless. I understand thay "we" owe debt and I understand it should be paid. But sometimes I think we forget about the hummanity of it all. Your post was really helpful. I can learn from what you went through and avoid PR NightmareCthulhunoodle wrote:
They absolutely do. They informed me they had another debt under my name. From 1997. Well past the statute of limitations on that one, but I'm sure it won't stop them. Thank goodness I'm smart enough to hang out on this forum and seek sound advice. And the kicker... at the end of the phone call in which I'd paid my years long debt, they asked me why I'd defaulted in the first place. "Pregnant, lost my job and had to move into my mother-in-law's house. Bad time all around." She asked if I was employed now. I answered in the affirmative. Who's your employer, came next. My answer: "I'd prefer not to say." I'm sure if I'd replied it would be logged in a database somewhere, waiting to be used.

How do I make a Mouse Trace line (puzzle type) to move forward in a Flash site

I'm wondering how I would go about making a Mouse Trace, on a line that's preset but my choosing to let people enter into my Flash and/or progress throughout it. Basically, I have a picture of say, the number 5, I want to be able to have people use the mouse cursor to trace the 5 from one end to the next, and once completed the sites move forward. Though, I will be using my company logo which is a bit more advanced than a single number or letter form. If no one is sure what I'm talking about I've added a picture to demonstrate what I'm trying to do.
Another idea I have if this one can't be accomplished, is a slide bar.
Basically, it would look like a timeline control in say, VLC, and I would have the user drag a button from one side to the next to unlock and move forward.
Though that may seem a bit more simple that my main idea, I would also like to be able to get really advanced with this second function and make a series of slide bars, say, 3, and they have to be slid in a certain manner, like slide bar 1,3,2 then it unlocks and moves forward.
Any and ALL thoughts and ideas are welcome.
-Splendid Angst

if you can assume your shapes are traced when a user starts at one point, drags the mouse to your end-point and does NOT go outside the shape boundary, you can use a bitmapdata hittest and loop to check the mouse stays inside your shape and you can check that they start and end within a determined distance of the start and end.

How do I "move forward" photos in a photobook (after removing a photo from being placed)

New to iphoto and Mac. I've created a Book from 3 projects. As I'm reviewing the photo book, there are photos I've decided I don't want and they have become Unplaced.
I'd like the remaining photos to be "moved forward" automatically - can this be done?
Same question when changing a layout from say 2 photos per page to 6 photos. All I end up with is a bunch of empty slots and I don't want to manually move forward a bunch of photos.
Any tutorials or resources you can suggest would be helpful. I've tried googling this problem, and am faced with too many answers about people and deleting the photo libraries etc.

I think what I'm looking/hoping for, is that iphoto could (at least in the beginning stages) "repaginate" my album if there are photos I want to remove. Just like when making a word document, when you delete some text, the rest of the text moves up and the document gets shorter.
That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
As i answered
there is no way to move photos forwards or backwards
so I created an album and iphoto slotted photos in there. On further review - there are certain photos I just don't want (i.e. not nice enough, detract from overall book etc.). If I remove something at the beginning, it's alot of manual work to move other photos forward.
Same question as above - same answer as above
The other situation is, when iphoto inserts the photos, it might not necessarily keep certain photos together (in this case, it's my parents' trip to Ireland) and we have a preference to keep photos from the same venue together on a page, not split by a page-flip. This is where I'd want to change a layout from say 2 photos to 6 photos and would like to automatically move the previous pages photos forward to be placed in the new empty slots.
And for the third time - exactly the same question - and of course exactly the same answer
I reallly think this is a very clear statement
there is no way to move photos forwards or backwards
Am I asking too much?
You can ask - but what you want is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
As to your use of the existing features - totally your choice - some people use certain features and other do not - do what you please
I generally find that if I am careful in selecting photos then Autoflow is a good start - but not always - just depends
And I usually fill holes with additional photos that I did not originally choose or change the number of photos in the layout I use for that page

Is there any way to PAUSE/RESUME the actual recording while recording a Video Demo slide in Captivate 8?

If I have to take an "off-screen" action while recording a video demo slide in Captivate I am forced to END and start a separate video demo to continue.
This fragments my demo and seems an unnecessary set of steps.
Is there a way to pause the recording for long enough, say to clear my throat, and then resume?
Thanks.

How do I get the playhead to move forward

Hello all - I have simple flash CS4 file (AS3) with a video playback component in a movie clip called "video". The only other thing in this flash movie is a script to load another SWF file as soon as the video is done playing.... I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
If I use stop() on the frame with the video - it will play - but then the playhead will not move forward to the next frame which has the next script and if I leave the stop() off - it plays only a a few frames of the video and moves on to the next frame and executes the script that loads the swf file.
Everything I've read requires a button event - and I don't need a button. I just need the video to play - then the next script to execute.
Here are the only scripts in the flash movie:
***************************** // in the frame containing video component
stop()
*********************************** // in the next frame after video component.
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("section_6.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
addChild(myLoader);
Many thanks
Deb

Thanks again for your help!
I have this working if anyone is interested
stop()
video.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completePlay);
function completePlay(e:Event):void {
nextFrame();
video is the name of the flv playback component (NOT the movie clip - which is where I was having problems)
Best Wishes

The window to select dimensions simply does not appear and I can't move forward, due to variables exit in the report

Dear experts,
I am having an issue when I try to create a WEBI document using Bex query through OLAP connection (Bics).
Due to variables exit, it is not possible to open query pannel in webi to choose wich dimensions to add to the webi document.
The window to select dimensions simply does not appear and I can't move forward!
In RSRT ou Bex Analyzer, the query is running fine without errors.
CMOD code is like this (I believe there is not any error as it is working flawless on other reports for other variable names):
WHEN 'ZREDT1'.
     IF i_step = 2.
       CLEAR wa2.
       READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO wa2 WITH KEY vnam = 'ZRE_DT_IN'.
*      wa2-low = |{ v_year_h }12|.
       IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
         v_year_h = wa2-low(4) - 1.
         CONCATENATE v_year_h '12' INTO wa1-low.
*        wa1-low = wa2-low.
         wa1-opt = 'EQ'.
         wa1-sign = 'I'.
         APPEND wa1 TO e_t_range.
       ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
    WHEN 'ZREDT2'.
     IF i_step = 2.
       CLEAR wa2.
       READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO wa2 WITH KEY vnam = 'ZRE_DT_IN'.
       IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
*        wa2-low = |{ v_year_h }12|.
         v_year_h = wa2-low(4) - 1.
         CONCATENATE v_year_h '12' INTO wa1-low.
         wa1-opt = 'EQ'.
         wa1-sign = 'I'.
         APPEND wa1 TO e_t_range.
       ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
Please provide assistance,
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
André Oliveira

I solved it.
The problem was due to date coming to exit - as you know some time intervals start at 01-01-1000, and as I was calculating 1000-1 = 999
I was getting and interval from 99901 to 201405. Do not know if it was not working because CHAR NUMC6 was failing trying to recognize interval 99901 - 201405, but probably, this was the issue.
Thanks for your inputs,
Best regards,

Camera randomly moves forward then backward

Hey all,
I have a camera parented to a null that is being used for this shot. The camera zooms close to the planet very quickly, and then i wanted it to approach slowly (like a coming out of warp shot). Seems easy enough.. The camera slows down at Z position =40,000. The next keyframe is set to 41,000 so that it moves slowly forward . The problem is, the camera way overshoots the keyframe value then backs down to 41k. When i look at the graph i see that it curves up, but it does that on the first set of keyframes as well and the camera doesn't make any unwanted movements. Does anyone know what could be going on? The keyframes are easy-eased, but i tried turning that off and the camera still did this movement.

Take a look at the path of the null you're using to drive the camera in a top view. Select the G key to select the Pen tool. Take a close look at the middle keyframe. You'll see bezier handles extending past the last keyframe. Hold down the Alt/Option key on your keybard and click on the second keyframe in the Comp panel. You'll see the Bezier handles disappear. Your bounce is not gone.
The other option is to select the keyframe in the timeline, then right click, go to Keyframe Interpolation.
Set Spatial Interpolation to Linear.
Both do the same thing. I prefer the second Pen Tool>Convert Vertex method because I often want to adjust the Spatial interpolation, especially if there's a curve.
This happens when you have a layer moving quickly, then you move forward a few frames and move the layer a little further. If you set the starting and ending keyframe first, then back up and set the middle keyframe and adjust it's position in the comp window or the change the timing in the timeline, you almost never get this problem.
