Remediation for single-clicking a double-click action

I'm using the double mouse click feature of a Click box in a
software simulation lesson we've built in captivate. Unfortunately
when the user single-clicks in the Click box, no remediation shows
to tell the user that they must double-click in the box to complete
the step.
Anyone have any ideas on how to provide the user with
remediation on single clicking a double click Click box?
Thanks,

Um... there are no macros. Captivate is a closed system with
no documented API outside of some variables you can read and in
some cases, set to make Captivate do some simple navigation-related
things. Search the Captivate help file for 'variables' and you'll
find a list.
Outside of that, the only official ways to "enhance"
Captivate are either to:
- Create your own standalone functionality in Flash and
insert it in Captivate as a self-contained animation. This can be
problematic due to the closed nature of the Captivate runtime, as
well as the layering imposed by the use of skins and borders.
- Make Javascript calls to the browser and put the
functionality there. Since there is limited interactivity between
Javascript and Flash, this is much more limited in scope than
inserting your own self-contained animations
Some folks have also opened up a published SWF with a
decompiler program and viewed the Adobe source code in an effort to
make their inserted animations do cooler things, but that is very
much an unsupported activity.

Leopard Registering Single Clicks as Double Clicks

I have a terrible problem under 10.5.1 with the system registering about 40% of my single clicks as double clicks. It seems to be getting worse, as well. I thought it was an issue with the mouse on my Wacom tablet or with the Wacom driver, but in trying to troubleshoot it I found I had the same problem when using my original Apple mouse.
It's extremely problematic. For example, I've customized my Finder toolbar to include the delete icon. However, if I click the delete icon and the system registers it as a double click, it will delete not only the file I intended, but it's parent directory. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I have the same problem. I have concluded that it is a software problem either with OS X or some third party software on the computer.
I originally thought it was a problem with Logitech's control center as that was the mouse I was having problems with. However, I recently replaced that mouse and uninstalled the logitech software and am still having problems with my new mouse from a different vendor. All the while, the trackpad will still register single clicks as double clicks.
In my observations I found that once I restart the computer, single clicks will be registered as normal for the first few minutes of computer use. After that, any time the mouse is clicked more than once without being moved, no matter how much time has passed, it will register the subsequent clicks as double/triple/etc. clicks. So if, for example, I were to click an application icon once, not move the mouse, come back a day later and click again, it will double click. I also found that if the mouse is moved ever so slightly, it might still register as a double click.
Additionally, if I am scrolling through any window but don't move the mouse, it will register the subsequent clicks as double clicks, even when you are clicking on a different item. An example of this is if I am scrolling down a finder window with a lot of files in column view, click on a file to see it's icon preview, then scroll down without moving the mouse and click on another file, it will register as a double click and launch that item.
Other observations: I was having this problem in the early days of my OS install, so I went ahead and reinstalled the system. The problem came back in a day or so and I can't pinpoint it to any one piece of software that has been installed. I'm wondering if it is an OS issue.

Often I can only right click or double click in after effects (usually while using Color Finesse)

Hey, I can't seem to find anyone else that is having this issue.
I use Dynamic linking from Premiere to color a project using Color Finesse in After Effects. Whats the timeline is dropped in, I'll drop in the color finesse effect, open up color finesse, color, and hit okay. When I come back to After Effects, it seems like every other time I do this sequence of events, I can't left click anymore. The only way to scrub through is to left click or double click on the player head. I can't click and drag effects (I just double click). I can't load presets or anything. I have to get back into color finesse and then it works normally again. But once I'm back out of color finesse and into after effects.... it's back. This is driving me insane, as it makes everything take twice as long. Also, I might add that this happens on MULTIPLE computers. So I do believe it's something that I'm doing wrong or something and not the computer. However, it could quite possibly be a setting with color finesse or something with color finesse, cause I'm really the only one on these computers that uses color finesse.
Anyway, thanks for any help in advance.

Supposedly you can play or download songs using the icloud download button, a cloud icon with a downward arrow inside. But nothing happens when I click or double click on it.

supposedly you can download or play songs using the icloud download button, a cloud icon with a downward arrow inside. But nothing happens when I click or double click on it.

You have to have music in your iCloud account to do that...when you open the Music app on your iPad, for example, you can access all music from iCloud that you have already placed in the iCloud or associated with iCloud. That is not for downloading music you have not already purchased or downloaded.

Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

Try restarting your Mac.
Open Termimal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)Try entering this command: killall Dock, and then hit enter
Try dragging the Mail icon out of the dock, then let it disappear in a puff of smoke. Then from Applications/Mail try dragging the Mail icon back into the dock, and see if it works.
Does Mail open otherwise? Like if you try opening it from your Applications folder?if it doesn't:
Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
if that doesn't work: reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

Single Click versus Double Click Action not working

Hello, having an issue with actions on symbols.
I have symbols that when clicked play at a specific location on the timeline.
Tthe first symbol uses single click (how I want it)
The rest of the symbols also use single click, but when I test the animation they require double click (even though they are coded to be single click)
Any ideas?
Here is a testing location for the animation:
http://www.contentx.com/DSU_discovery/MainAnim.html
Ideally I want single click on all the symbols. The double click is confusing.
Thanks!
zack

Hi, Zack-
Marie nailed it without even looking at the project. You are calling play() on a place that has a trigger that says stop(). The reason it plays the second time is rather complicated and has to do with the default play() behavior when there's a trigger, but the easy thing to do is to add one to your click event timecode.
For instance: Presentation.click currently says:
sym.play(22000);
Just replace it with:
sym.play(22001);
The next easiest thing to do is to change your play call to use the optional "false" parameter to force it to not execute the trigger at 2200.
sym.play(22000, false);
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/edgeanimate/api/current/index.html#symbolinstance
- scroll down to "play" to read more about the API
Hope that helps!

Single (instead of Double) click for af:table editingMode="clickToEdit"

Hi all,
My af:table has editingMode="clickToEdit".
A row becomes editable by double clicking on it - this is a default.
How can I overide this editable behaviour with ONLY SINGLE click instead of Double?
Thanks.

Ok, I can overirde the selection listener,
but inside that method I do not want to: setEditingMode("editAll");
I still want the table to have editingMode="clickToEdit".
But I want with only one click (instead of double) the row to be editable.
So one row editable at the time.
But only one click to show input fields.
The tabel does not have a property (number of clicks to make the row editable) that I can control.
In RichTable class it sais:
In "clickToEdit" mode a single row editable at a time. A row becomes editable by double clicking on it.
Can I overide this with: one click on the row???
And for sure I do not want to PPR the table since default double click on the table do not refresh the whole table.
Thanks.

How to handle both single click and double click from mouse

hey,
I looked in past threads and didn't get a proper answer for capturing both single and double click from the mouse.
in most applications the single click action does not interfere with the double click action, for example in a text editor, single click sets the cursor in between the text, double click marks a word, triple click marks a sentence, they do not bother each other, they all can happen first the single then the double and then the triple, but what if i have a very distinct action for each of the actions, the e.getClickCount() returns every time the number of clicks and if i use
if(e.getClickCount()==1)
    doSingleClick();
if(e.getClickCount()==2)
    doDoubleClick();it will always do first the single click and then the double click, which works fine with the example i gave, but not with what i want to do, so i was thinking to over come this that i will use another thread to run my tasks if dt has past since the last click and by the last click counts to perform the correct action and go to sleep until the next mouse click notify it, what do you think?
run this to get what i mean...

Hello,
also try to use the messages clause (of type BDCMSGCOLL).
This will return the system messages.
call transaction 'XXXX' using BDCTAB
                                        mode 'P'
                                        messages into MSG_TAB.
Try to change the mode from 'N' to 'P' and try to place a breakpoint and check what happens.
Alternatively, you can read the Quality Notification text using FM READ_TEXT, and then show this data to the user in pop-up, rather than calling the tx.
Hope this helps.

For Adobe to Implement: Double-click to References

As a psychology student I undertake a lot of research relating to my degree.
Most of this research relies on research articles in approved psychology journals
The majority of these articles are published in .pdf format.
These articles average 15-30 pages long and included say 80% content and 20% references.
Unfortunately, one has to scroll through to the reference section whenever you want to access a resource for further reading and locate the appropriate reference amongst a long list (typically 30-90) items.
Have you ever considered implementing a simple feature whereby double-clicking on a given page (in reader) would cause it to flip around (complete with smooth 3D animation) and reveal all the references cited on that page.
This would require a developer level change to Acrobat and Web-based versions of Reader as well as the Desktop version of Adobe reader
Alternatively an extension or plugin could be designed to faciltate this idea, though for mainstream acceptance and widespread use it would probably be better for a program level change/ addition.
This would save considerable time and energy undertaking research, research which hundreds of millions of people have to do.
Obviously this feature would need to be implemented by content creators whilst creating their documents, unless a special algorithm was developed to do it automatically, but it would make referencing and resource location far more convenient.
Would you give this concept its due consideration?

I think your definition of "mainstream" to include the people who read academic journals with references is perhaps a bit one-sided. It sounds a good idea for a plug-in, but how much do you think people would pay for it? How big is the market - what is the business case?
Arguably the biggest problem is that the people who make these articles aren't using hyperlinking, which has been in PDF the best part of 20 years already. [Added] So if they aren't doing that how much could we expect them to do something else?

How can i perform the right click and double click operation in ipad.

I have an email application i.e web application working fine in desktops, in that application if i will double click on the mail that mail will be open, and after opening that mail if i will right click on the mail it will show the different functionality .
But i cant do that in ipad, is there solution to this problem ????

I understand what you have and what you want. However, the iPad is not a desktop computer. What you want may not be possible. The developer may have already created an app specifically for the iPad. Have you checked the App Store?
