Resizing issue with login boxes in Captivate 5

Hi
I am recording a software simulation where the user has to enter their login detail in a demonstration.
I have to record it fullscreen (1152 X 864) and then resize it to 750 x 545. That works fine but when I view the resized slides the typed information (login and password) have not shifted relative to the login box and so appears as a field half way down the page instead of inside the box(s).
Has anyone experienced this and is there something I can do apart from recording in 750 x 545 (not ideal as half the login page is cut off) or leaving the whole thing at the higher resolution (when published it means the user will have to scroll to view the entire slide so not ideal either).
I have done it many times in Captivate 4 and it works fine.
thanks

Hello,
This is a known issue and the Adobe Team is working on it, this is what I read in this thread:

Alignment issues with quiz boxes in captivate 7

when viewing quiz check boxes with their associated question they seem aligned in captivate. but when i preview the slide or publish the slide they are no longer aligned.
is there a fix for this?
my work around was to make the questions white and place a blk text box over it so i can manually move the question box separately from the check box.

Hello and welcome,
Which version of 7? If you don't have 7.0.1.237 yet, it is time to upgrade. I think this is one of the fixed bugs.

Aspect ratio issues with SD box and no help from Verizon

I just renewed my 2 year contract which included a free box but a billing screwup resulted in repeated charges for the box. A CS rep credited the account and said I had the wrong box and she would send out a new one.
i had a 7100 Motorola HD box. I have an older television set (that cannot control aspect ratio) and I have never had HD service but this was the box I was sent by Verizon as part of my contract. Why they felt it had to be changed I don't know, but ..... the box they sent was a 2500 SD box which does not give me an acceptable picture.
It's totally random. Some channels are 16:9. Some are overzoomed 4:3. The FIOS channel bar at the bottom is partially off the screen and the content is clipped around the edges. Commercials are totally random in size and appearance.
The # key on the remote does not work. There is no option in Settings to change the aspect ratio.
CS was ZERO help. They concluded that I had to either deal with the scattershot image sizes and clipped image content or go buy another television. SERIOUSLY VERIZON?
I couldn't get an answer as to why the box I was sent by Verizon as part of my original contract that provided a perfectly acceptable image had to be replaced with a box that doesn't provide squat. I have had Verizon service for approximately 7 years with this same television and this is the first time I've been given a box that can't produce an acceptable image and a remote that can't resize. So why now?
This smells like a bait and switch, or an attempt to get customers to pay for an upgraded box for a service they don't want just to get an acceptable picture. I live in an urban area and there is plenty of older equipment in these homes. So are customers like myself just being told even though you pay a significant amount of money for a Triple Play you are only getting 2 parts of the service?
I find it hard to believe there isn't some way to make the box or the remote change the image size. Can anyone help?

why do so many topics go to private section? we need to see how it's responded to in case we have the same problem..
but yes, our 2500 sd box, basically the 4:3 standard non HD box broadcasts to fit a 4:3 TV.. now some channels will have the black bars on top and bottom to accommodate the 16:9 aspect ratio.. you'll notice this if you run the 2500 box on a flat screen.. if you have it in 16:9 ratio on a flat screen it looks stretched.. the only way to watch regularly is in 4:3 mode.. which basically has the image with bars on all sides.. or you can zoom it and lose a portion of the image.. but it's because the box thinks you're using a 4:3 sd tv so the boxes appear on top and bottom so it can still fit the wider image it's filmed in.. so with flat screens you need the HD box i guess.. unless there is something i'm missing but there isn't a setting that i can find to change how the box exports the image for a flat screen or 4:3. I know the HD boxes have an 'SD Override' option.. which i guess tells the box you're not using a 4:3 tv anymore.. but that option is not on the 2500 SD box.. believe me i looked.. but this is all in reverse for your issue anyhow as you're having trouble with the SD box on an SD TV... which yeah, if you run SD the quality of picture is not as good as the HD programming.. so please let us know what they say to do for you.

Display issue with Combo Boxes and Logo

Hi All,
I am facing a couple of issues with my dashboard:
1. Combo boxes display - I have placed a series of combo boxes one below the other. During the preview, when I click on the first combo box, the values spread below. That is, the labels, and options of the next combo box are also visible. The options in the combo box are not seen clearly. I have tried many permutations and combinations with "Bring Forward +" and "Send Back -" but none of them seem to work. For example, keeping the first combo as bring forward and next one as send back etc. Can you please help me in this regard?
2. Logo - I have used image component and embedded a logo from my local system. Later I saved the xlf in the repository. When I import the xlf from the platform, it displays the logo fine. But however, this behavior is not constant. It sometimes doesn't show the image. Do I have to save the image also in the repository? or in a common shared folder? If I embed the logo does it not mean that the xlf hold the copy?
Any help in this regards is highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Sandeep.

Hi:
For your question
1) Do you need your combox overlapped? I tried to overlap my comb box and preview it, seems works fine for me. it only chooses the first comb box. But I am suggesting that if you want to show/hide the different combox in the same position at run time, you can try to control the visibility by some other component.
2) The answer is NO, the image embedded in the image component will be saved to xlf file, there is no need to save it individually. Try to clean your cache files in your machine and do it again.
Hope it helps.

Privileges/permissions issue with drop box/archive folder

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with the permissions on a folder on my iMac. I'm running Leopard. Here at our office, I have my computer set up just like everyone else; within my drop box I have an folder titled "Archive", and within the archive folder I have a folder named after the boss' external hard drive. When the files are on her hard drive, she moves them into this folder so that we know they're completed and can be burned to disc.
For some reason though, she can no longer access this folder in my drop to drag anything into it. One day I found something online that told me to set something through my system preferences. It worked, but I can't remember what I did! The folder seems to have "relapsed" and once again, she can't access it. "Get Info" doesn't work, no matter how many times I change the permissions- it always says everyone should be able to read and write. I've also tried changing permissions and shared folders in the "Sharing" section of system preferences. It just doesn't seem to want to go. I think she might be running Tiger; is there a possibility that that's the issue?
Any thoughts? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I would check the system preferences / sharing / file sharing .. highlight file sharing (leftside) and setting to edit changes will be on right side for 10.6.x S Leopard. I would look for a somewhat similar setup in Tiger for its file sharing settings.

Original (Coming - output): "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
it's in output but what is data in database ?
sorry but without knowing about source data for forming the xml i haven't ideas about your problem
in db it's "TM " or "™" or ... ?
Original (Coming - output): "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
Something like XAE or "K" after PAY Value in the xml tag and continued the text value. (Tag value is not getting copied exactly here - i am sorry for that )
that's ok. i need to see the problem not the data as is
Expected (output): "Here it needs to produce the "PAY TM" (Here "TM" should be super scripted to "PAY" Value in tag).
as super scripted in xml?
as idea - you can have <PAY_TXT>PAY TM</PAY_TXT> and in publisher set TM as super

Font color issue with animated text in Captivate 5

When I prepare a new animated text and open the property and then click the square to choose a color , I only get a little part of the color panel (when I click the color box) and I have no possibilities to enter the color code either:
I'm working with a Windows XP, 64 bits desktop and I have Captivate 5 version 5.0.1.624.
Any ideas to solve this issue would be appreciated as it is becoming urgent for me.

@Lieve: You're on the French version of Captivate 5 aren't you?
Can you provide a screenshot of what the Animated Text font colour dialog looks like on your PC and upload it here?
This is what that box looks like for me:
It seems that on this user's PC the colour picker isn't able to float on top of the dialog as it should.
I encouraged Valerie to post her issue on this forum in the hope that one of the Captivate developer technicians would chime in with a possible solution. I think this one has got to be some kind of bug due to a language version of Cp.

Issues with hangman activity in captivate 7

Hi,
I am using the hangman activity in some of my projects. There are two issues being faced:
When I test the published file in scormcloud, it works fine. The screen automatically progresses to the next slide once the learner completes the activity (I am using IE or firefox browser). However, when my client tests it, they get stuck after this activity, because the slide doesn't progress (they're testing on Chrome browser). Is this a browser issue?
Secondly, for the learner to move from one question to another after completing it, the button label reads 'Retry', which is not correct because you want them to continue and not retry a word. Is there a way to customize the button labels for these new interactions?
Your advise would be highly appreciated!
Divya

Divya, I have had similar problems with the puzzle widget. In the end we cannot make learner tools that only work on certain browsers. Users use different browsers. And that is that.
Adobe did not round off these widget tools properly. I actually wonder how they passed any form of QA.
I have not specifically used the hangman widget yet, However, when a learner does not complete the puzzle widget in time, it just hangs (freezes) right there! So I added a "continue" button that actually runs the slide again (so widget runs again) and allows the learner to try again. In the same way you could just add a continue button when and where your require it. You might have to use some advanced action to co-ordinate the lot.
If you have not worked with advanced actions before, now is the time to learn. Drink a Red Bull (It is not really bad for you) and watch the series of videos that explain advanced actions on YouTube. You will need the Red Bull to maintain focus . Just make enough time available and be patient. You will get it right. It will help you overcome many of the Captivate problems.

Issue with dialog boxes in Designer, please help

Hi,
I'm having a problem with designer the last 4 days. It was working fine before.
Any dialog box wants to open, I can not insert tables, edit properties, etc.
I'm using Designer 11.5.0.0 with SP3 update, I reinstalled every thing, but it's still not working.
Does someone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Marcela

Hi,
The issue is resolved, but I don't know what caused this error.
I uninstalled the java components and BO then I deleted the BO folder under program files, then I deleted all BO entries in the registry.
Finally I reinstalled everything except the service pack and that finally worked. I don't know the cause of this error.

Issue with Preview Box

Hello,
I have just started using my Abode Premier Pro CS6, and I have a slight issue, that is probably just me not being used to the programme.
Basically, I import a video, and drag it to the timeline, this video appears in two places, The preview box and a source box. However, the Preview box has zoomed in my video and I am unable to see half the footage, this may be my settings with the when I click on the Zoom Level in the preview box, it doesnt show the whole video, onnly the zoomed in part, more zoomed, or less zoomed than before but on the Source box, I can view the whole video.
This is probably just an error on my behalf, but if someone could please enlighten me on what I need to do to view the whole video in the preview box, it would be much appreciated as it is making me struggle to create this video.
Thanks,
Matthew
(16 and has no idea!)

Hey Mathew, I'm brand new to this program and experienced this same problem yesterday. After going thru everything to try and make it work, (and believe me, I tried every button and drop down in the program) out of boredom, I went to the scaling window directly under the image in the sequence window, I changed the scale to 25%, then clicked the image and a white outline appeared around the window image. I clicked and moved my cursor around the upper left corner of the white line/box until I got diagonal arrows ( you will get vertical and horizontal arrows as well but move your cursor slightly around till you get the diagonal arrows. You only want the diagonal arrows) and then click on and pull it in till it perfectly outlined the image and it gave me the whole image. I'm not sure if this will affect scaling or not when outputed, but it did get me to the point where I could work easier with the window. Hope this helps.

Issues with coverted files of captivate from CP2 to CP4

Hi Adobe,
We have a captivate files made using CP2 and saved it as CP4 and published it for Flash8, AS2 and SCORM 1.2.
This a multi-sco course and each SCO had one CP file
1st CP file contains the simulation with few self-checks in it and the
2nd CP file contain the assessment questions.
When we tested it on the Docent LMS the following issues were identified.
1.      for 1st CP file à The bookmarking is not working
a.      Bookmarking worked fine until the course was not completed. But after completion of the course bookmarking did not work properly. Since we have multi SCO structure the leaner can revisit the completed SCO.
b.      The course did not mark as completed on the LMS on the first attempt but on 2nd attempt it did.
c.      If the course is again launched after completion and the Rewind button is clicked or slider is dragged the course gets marked as "incomplete" on the LMS and does not get changed to complete even after the last slide is viewed and we were not able to re-enroll again.
d.    The interactivities built using the inbuilt captivate templates (MCSS/MCMS/True-False) can not be re-attempted.
2.      For 2nd CP file – Score value does not get properly recorded on LMS
a. The LMS does not record the accuracy value on the LMS, due to which the completion status does not get fired.
b. If we launch and exit the module without attempting any of the questions then a Failed status is sent to the LMS. Is this something that can be resolved using the Captivate publish settings?
b. Even when the bookmarking is set to false, when the assessment is re-launched, the starts from the bookmarked position and are not able to go back to reattempt from the beginning.
Can you guide us on how we can overcome these issues.
Thanks
Regards,
Siddharth Lodha

Thanks for the reply, Bartok, but those didn't seem to work for me. Maybe I applied them incorrectly as that thread was for the Win platform and not Xcode and I might have translated the solution poorly.
Basically I went to the "Release_Cocoa64" target, and scrolled down the "Build Settings" page. I then edited the BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS field.
First I tried just appending BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED.
Second I thought that this might be a macro of some sort so I tried $(BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED).
Finally, I deleted all the previous values and added "BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK BOOST_REGEX_USE_CPP_LOCALE BOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE BOOST_HAS_ICU=1 BOOST_ FILESYSTEM_VERSION=3 BOOST_CHRONO_HEADER_ONLY BOOST_SIGNALS_NO_DEPRECATION_WARNING".
As you might guess from the experimentation I got none of these to work. The error that I was getting has remained exactly the same.
One difference that I assumed between the Win and Xcode version is that Win separates the values with a semi-colon whereas Xcode separates with a space.
My only other thought is maybe I edited the wrong field. Is BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS the one?
As a final comment, the thread you gave me and my issue really comparable? I have other projects that don't use the boost::regex libraries and they build and run without issue. It's only when I try to use boost's regular expressions in a release build that I get problems when linking (debug build is still fine).
Also the link error looks different. The thread that you gave me points at "boost::system::error_category" as not being resolved, while I have problems resolving "boost::re_detail::get_mem_block".
I don't seem to have problems with basic boost - just the regular expression stuff.

Issues with streaming flv in Captivate 4

I'm trying to view a streaming video in Captivate 4.
The video server is an in-house web server.
Nothing shows in Preview mode. When CP project is published, I get a dialogue box asking if I want to open or save:
If I open, Adobe Media Player opens. I don't want to view it in Adobe Media Player. I want the flv file to run in Captivate.
I have scoured the forums, but haven't seen an answer except maybe the Windows 2003 server issue (which I'm checking on.)
What am I missing?

Hi, Ed. You might want to review these things:
1. I often need to inject Metadata into the FLV. This is important because Captivate needs to know things like how long the Video plays etc. and this data is provided by the metadata. The free Buraks FLV Metadata Injector does exactly that.
Because it is a little cryptic to use, I created a narrated Captivate demo to show you exactly how to use it. The demo is very short.
http://www.showmethedemo.com/Resources.htm
When you get to that page, click on the link, Using FLV MetaData Injector to see the demo.
2. Please have your web admin folks look at this link.
