Right click in offline simulations

Hi, we run online courses with product simulations. Our exercises with righ-clicks work fine when loaded from the LMS.....as expected
We have had requests to make the material available offline, however, we want to publish the swf to PDF. PDFs have javascript support but I suspect it will not allow me to write some code to add the right-click listener javascript that usually comes with the standard.js file that you get when you publsh to webpage.
I don't want to publish as an offline webpage. Does anyone know if there is a way to keep righ-clicks in offline courses without embedding them in a webpage. Particularly in PDF format?
Thanks

Office 2010 is a Windows product. Do you mean Office 2011?

Right-Click Functionality - Heinz Article

Greetings:
I'm finally faced with the right-click functionality issue in
Captivate. I'm using Captivate 2.
I have done my due diligence and I understand why I get the
Flash Player settings when I right-click in a simulation
(interactive simulations only, a pure demonstration works fine).
And, I have located and read the William Heinz article titled
'Using Animations to Extend Adobe Captivate for Right-Click
Capability'. This article can be found in the Captivate support
section, along with another one (more complicated, it seems) by
Steven Shongrunden.
Here's the URL to the Heinz article:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/rightclick.html
Everything was going well with the Heinz technique until I
reached step 5 on page 2 of the article. This is where the
animation is inserted onto the slide. For sub-step d, sub-sub-step
iii, it says to "Select the Pause until User Clicks option" in the
Animation dialog box. However, I do not have a Pause until User
Clicks option in my Animation dialog box.
So, is that an option only available for the Animation dialog
box in Captivate 3? If so, then the opening paragraph of this
article is incorrect in stating that this technique works for
Captivate 2.
Or, have I just misread something in this article?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Hi Jim
If the article needs improvement, by all means you should
report it so it may be corrected. Perhaps use the Wish Form?

Or if you would like to post here where it is vague, I'll be
happy to feed it back through some other channels I have.

If a buddy's screename is faded (in the offline section), but a video icon is still next to the screename, and if you right click on the name "video chat" is an option, what does this mean? it is the only one on my whole list that has this.

Hi,
It could be some sort of "flagging" issue where either the AIM Servers have gone out of sync and you are getting two lots of info (There are about three or four servers involved with getting data to your Buddy list)
I can also see the possibility where you have a Contact in your Address Book who has two Screen Names.
You have one in one group and in another they appear to be Off Line. However iChat will still Link them and Show their Capabilities when you Right Click.
One way of checking this is to double click them to open a Text Chat Window.
At the top is the Recipients Bar (See View Menu when Text Chat is Open).
This gives you the option to chose a different Buddy Name if the contact has two (It offers To and From options if you both have Multiple Accounts).
Pic of an Old Chat to someone with Multiple "Names"
They have an @Mac.com name and Jabber ID (As it is an Old Chat the Jabber one is Off Line and their @mac.com name is currently "Away"
You can see I have a Google and three AIM Logins I could use to Speak to them.

Captivate 2 right-click and drag and drop in simulation

Captivate has been suggested as a suitable replacement for
Authorware since the announcement that Adobe doesn't plan to
continue with Authorware. I find myself in the position to put this
to the test. I'm in the process of recreating a course that had
been created in Authorware in a toolset comprised of Artuculate
Presenter, Articulate Quizmaker, Articulate Engage, Captivate, and
PowerPoint.
The simulation created in Authorware has these feautures:
-learner right clicks on items on screen to see a context
menu then selects option from the context menu
-learner drags toolbar and other items on screen to another
screen location
-learner selects item from Windows Start>>Program and
other application menus. As the learner's mouse moves over the
menu, menu options highlight and flyout menus appear even if
they're not directly involved in the simulation
-learner logs into course with an employee ID number. This
information is stored and is used in the simulation in which they
log into the system being simulated.
Can I do any of these things in Captivate?
I suspect I can simulate the flyout menus with a number of
mouse over hotspots - exactly the way it's done in Authorware.
However, I haven't found any way to do simulate the other items:
-use of drag and drop where the learner performs the action
-use of a variable value to check validity of what has been
entered in the text field
-use of right click to advance Captivate simulation.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me. After all, I've
heard many people claim that Captivate can replace Authorware.
Thanks

Hi Grace,
Captivate is indeed a replacement for Authorware, but only in
the way that an Audi is a replacement for a Ferrari. They do the
same basic job, but you need to do some after market modifications
to the Audi to level the playing field somewhat.
1) Flyout menus are indeed possible, if you're willing to
create "rollovers" that display a picture of the expanded menu when
the user mouses over. You are limited to exposing only first-level
menus, however. Captivate does not allow for rollovers on
rollovers, except possibly via Captivate 3's Slidelet
functionality.
***EDIT***: You can also use Paul Dewhurst's rollover widgets
to fake multi-level menu behavior. They are available from Paul's
site here:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=29
2) Drag-and-drop in Captivate is currently only available as
an add-in Flash object, each of which must unfortunately be built
by hand in Flash. Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst offers
source files for such interactions on his website:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=29
3) Captivate has built-in checking of field values, but you
are limited to hardcoded values only. If you need variable-based
input checking, you must create it yourself in Flash and insert it
as an animation.
4) Right-click is possible in Captivate, but must be added
manually. Captivate community contributor William Heinz has created
a nifty right-click solution for HTML/SWF publication and Paul
Dewhurst again comes to the rescue with a solution for .EXE-based
output:
HTML/SWF-based Output:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/rightclick.html
EXE-based Output:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=29
Unfortunately, making these modifications to Captivate files
comes at a cost. First, there's the overhead of tracking down and
implementing the custom enhancements. More importantly, Captivate
has no way of "scoring" custom enhancements, so any such
interactions will not be reflected in the user's reported results.
If you're willing to live with these limitations, and a few
others, Captivate can indeed be a suitable replacement for
Authorware.

When I try to right click "Save As" on photos in my yahoo email, I only get the option of saving as a secure download firefox document. How can I save the photo as it is intended (jpeg, png) ?

If someone includes a photo in the email body message (I use yahoo), if I right click on the image to save it to my computer, I only get the option to save it as a firefox document - secure download. If I save it as such and then click on the link, it takes me to a page full of weird code.
Please advise. I would like to be able to right click on the photo as save the image to my computer.

If Firefox doesn't saves the image with a valid image file extension like .jpg or .png then you need to add that file extensions yourself. You can rename already saved images and change the file extension to get working images. Add quotes around the name while renaming ("image.jpg") if Windows hides the current file extension or refuses to change the name (i.e you get image.jpg.html).

Right click on published SWF not working

Hi, I'm using the latest versin of Captivate 7 and trying to publish a SWF project to work on our webpae.
In the software simulation we have a need for right click to activate a function, but this is only bringing up the flash menu when we play it.
I have Enable Accessability turned off and the file's a trusted location on my computer.
Can anyone help me work out how to make this work?
Thanks
Anna

Are you executing the HTM file or just the SWF?
Right click functionality requires a fair chunk of JavaScript code in order to work. Captivate supplies this JS code in the HTM and JS files that it publishes along with the SWF file. If you are only executing the SWF file then you won't get the JS code. You need to execute the HTM file which will then pull in the SWF and all the additional required code.
You must also make sure you have at least one click box in your project set to use right click. This will tell Captivate that you need the extra JS code to be added to the output.

How do I simulate a right-click in Windows when connected with Remote Desktop 8.0 for Mac OS X?

When connecting to a remote Windows 7 OS from Mac OS X 10.8.5 with Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24091, I'm not able to simulate a right-click with the Apple magic mouse.
On an older version Microsoft Remote Desktop Client version 2.1.1, I can hold down shift+ctl on the Mac and click the magic mouse to simulate a right-click in Windows. With this new version RDP 8.0, I can't find any way to simulate a right-click,
other than to select "Swap mouse buttons" under settings, and then every click is a right-click and then I'm no longer able to left-click (which is even worse). I've tried several key combinations and nothing seems to work. Am I missing
something simple here with the new RDP 8.0 application, or is the right-click simulation not (yet) functional?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

In order to make use of the right-click inside an open session you have three options:
Standard PC two button USB mouse
Apple Magic Mouse: To enable right-click, clickSystem Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.
Apple Magic Trackpad or MacBook Trackpad: To enable right-click, click System Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.

Question mark on some of my folders in LR3 on a Mac. Right click does not result in anything... no drop down menu to fix the problem

I am trying to learn Lightroom 3 on my Mac. I mistakenly renamed some folders (not while in Lightroom) by adding a subject to the date. Lightroom could not find the photos in the folder and gave me an error message that "the file named ... is offline or missing" I then went back and changed the files to what they were originally named but still get the same error message. Scott Kelby's good recommends right clicking on the file and i'd have the option to 'find the missing folder'... Not happening. What can I do other than starting over?

I think you might have misinterpreted something in your reading. Try this:

Right-click printing causes Explorer to crash?!

We regularly print contact sheets by selecting a group of images, right-clicking and using the print wizard, but recently this has been causing Windows Explorer to crash. As many people use the laptop in question I can't be sure what recent updates have

Hi,
The log message here told this is caused by igdumd64.dll , which is a component of the Intel graphics driver:
Faulting module name: igdumd64.dll, version: 8.15.10.2639.
Please take a look at the PC's official Website for updated drivers.

I email popup isn't working nor can I open pages on a new tab using right-click

I have AOL mail and I view my emails in a pop-up and now I click on the email and nothing happens- I cannot read them. When I am searching for videos or looking at content that is contained in a list I like to open links in a new tab so that I don't have to use the back button. When I right click a link the list is empty.

There is about a 5-second stall when I right click to copy and paste.

Hi!
I have been having several issues with Firefox since I installed it two weeks ago.
First, there is about a 5-second stall when I right-click to copy and past something. I work off of this computer so speed is paramount. I do not have this issue with Explorer, Chrome, or and offline programs.
Second, when I send emails from my Gmail account, I will send links or imbed pics in the email. When that happens, the first link or pic will show up, and the rest are broken links or code. This does not happen on other computers or web browsers.
Lastly, I have the flash player crashing quite often (multiple times a day).
What steps should I take to remedy these issues? I really like this browser and the add-ons, though speed is what runs my business so I may have to switch to Chrome if I cannot fix these problems. I can be contacted at 314.324.1245 if it would be best to walk me through these issues. Thank you! -Andy

I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.

Mouse left/right click only working in Dock

My mouse Razer naga had stopped working after i interrupted a sleep
i tried PRAM reset, and SMC reset. Also tried safe boot
not working still
i can move it and click in dock and in Safari it opens links just like when you cmd+leftclick "new tab open"
is there anyway i can reset usb/keyboard/mouse so i can reinsert it agian so mac finds it agian and let's me configurate it ?

This is getting stranger and stranger. I did a test of a simulation, then one based on a standard Adobe template. In both cases the right-click worked.
Then I created a whole new template, created a simulation based on it, and it didn't work, and reported an error on the page that gave the following details.
Ah! Could it be that I didn't store my template in the "Templates" directory, but on my flash drive?

Why does "Link Media" behave differently when used as a keyboard shortcut vs when right clicked???

Not sure whether anyone else is encountering this, but the "Link Media" command behaves differently when right clicked as opposed to when used as a keyboard shortcut.
When you right click to select that option for an offline file, you get only the corresponding disconnected source media. But when you execute "Link Media" via a keyboard shortcut, PP brings up a huge list of all other offline media. Why does it only do that when you use the keyboard shortcut for "Link Media" but not when you right click "Link Media".
I'd like to get the Link Media command to behave via the keyboard shortcut the same way it behaves when right clicked. I don't want to have to deal with relinking a hundred other files, but just the single offline file I'm working on.

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

Right Clicking in Captivate 7

I'm using Captivate 7 and have some right click boxes in a simulation. When I preview in web browser, they work fine. When I publish with Enable Accessability turned Off, and preview in IE, they become inactive. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
