Screen Tips - Display Time

Greetings,
Using RX7 to create a project which has images and uses
screen tips to explain fields.
The tip displays for approximately 10 seconds; is it possible
to have the tip display for a longer period? If so, how?
Thanks

Hi there
In addition to what Colum offered, you may be interested in
OverLib.
Click here to visit the
OverLib page
Unlike Colum, I've never considered the duration to be
controlled by the application. I suppose it's entirely possible.
I've always figured it was just a built in function of the
operating system.

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone (3G) is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

Thank you for the replies.
Appearane of 'Music' functions (I>> > II <<I, plus volume slider) on the lock/log in screen (when first turning on the iPhone) thus far seems without pattern, i.e. regardless of which if any applications are up in the background, and indeed even when all have been quit.
All visual aspects of 'Music' appear normal after launch including the title scroll across the top in vertical mode. However, while pressing play (>) converts the play (>) icon to pause (II), selected song does not play and the elapsed time bar (upper end between the track count and the repeat/shuffle icons) remains stationary at 0:00 or at any point to which it is dragged. When using home sharing this same problem persists regardless of what output is selected.
Hope that may prompt a thought somewhere.

Display times for "action objects"

I work on a MacBook Pro, MaxOSX 10.7.5, Captivate 6.
I need to hide a button that we have made as part of a "overlay" GUI - a form of CSS. We created a master project and coded it to be downloaded to all our other projects as a overall GUI.
But in some projects I'd like to hide a single button - not to be able to press. Not through the whole project but after let's say three to five slides. I tried using a simple smartshape but the hidden area can still be clicked. Using clickboxes or button allow me to over ride the "CSS-button" but they have a major flaw: they only last the rest of the slide and I'd like to have them throughout the entire project.
Copy-paste is NOT an option in this case - the project lenghts are vast ...
Is there a clickbox, button, other object or advanced action that could make an "action object" to be displayed throughout the entire project?
Or is there a widget och well trimmed programmer out there that could solve this?
Very grateful for all good tips and answers!
/Cheers!

Hi,
Thank you for the welcoming seems like a good forum
to hang out in and learn new things!
I guess I wasn't as clear as I should when describing
my issue.
In our work we have made a "Master Project" to function
as a sort of CSS (Cascade Style Sheet) - just like you did in
former web design.
The Master Project functions roughly as a Master Slide
but it has some benefits that a Master Slide isn't capable of.
We use the Master Project to export our interface to
all the other projects within the e-learning project.
So instead of having to make changes in the Master Slide
in every project we have a better control of GUI
changes affecting the overall e-learning project.
Your links have given us a great tool to work with!
We have completely missed the possibility to convert
a smartshape to a button and with that making it
posible to be displayed throughout the project.
Many thanks for those tips!
All the best and a happy week-end!

Hello and welcome to the forum, But I don't understand your question very
well. Perhaps it is only a matter of terminology. What do you mean by 'Master
Project'? Is that a template, in which you have a custom theme, perhaps some
advanced actions, variables, and of course master slides? You need interactive
objects on all or a lot of slides, correct? I have been blogging a lot about
the shape buttons, only interactive objects that allow that. Even did a
webinar about them for Adobe. Here are some

<http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2012/09/training-lilybiris-favourite-shapes-
to-trigger-advanced-actions.html> If you want control over the visibility of
such a shape button, do not put them on a master slide, but time them for the
rest of the project, starting with the slide where they should appear for the
first time. Reason is that objects on master slides do not have an ID, which
means that they cannot be hidden or disabled using a (advanced) action.

RoboHelp HTML v7to9 Migrate issue, Screen Tip field in images' properties w/DHTML Drop-down hotspot

Hey all, thanks in advance for any info you can provide. All the RoboHelp references below relate to us using the respective version of RoboHelp HTML, and on my XP SP3 pc.
For various reasons, we tried migrating our data from RoboHelp v7 directly to RoboHelp v9, but noticed this same issue also occurred when we tried to migrate our data from RoboHelp v7 to RoboHelp v8, as this was one of the reasons we did not use RoboHelp v8 as our production "version".
I noticed that RoboHelp v9 (and RoboHelp v8) will not populate the "Screen tip:" area/field of the image's properties window with the existing Screen tip text, even though it is in the html code of the page and when viewing the page within RoboHelp (Ctrl-W) or through a browser like IE6 or IE8, the Screen tip text will display when hovering the mouse over the picture. Only the RoboHelp v7 will properly display the text info in the Screen tip area.
Please note, we have most of our images inserted in a DHTML Drop-down hotspot and use buttons associated with a java script to "Show All Images" (or "Hide All Images") and these examples are the ones that the "Screen Tip:" field in the image's properties did not populate in RoboHelp v9.
Is there any easy way to get the ALT text to appear in the actual "Screen tip:" area/field of the image's properties window in RoboHelp v9, or must they be manually entered? Otherwise, currently it shows up as all blank, as though we neglected to fill it in. Is there an actual fix for this? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Create a one topic project. See the Contact page on my site and send the project as instructed there. Do make sure you include a link to this thread and please do not email the project direct.
I will open the project in Rh10 and generate webhelp.

Block Purchaisng screen for one time vendor acount group

Hi Experts,
Hope everyone is doing good.
How can we block purchasing screen for one time Vendor account group.
User requirement:
He wanted to maintain only Accounting data for one time vendor but not purchasing data.Though I have suppressed all the Purchasing related fields in Screen layout for Vendor account group but still at the time of creation of one time vendor "create Vendor:purchasing screen is coming"
Is there any option to suppress/Skip this screen "Create Vendor:Purchasing Data" ?
Regards,
Uzair

- Account group is just one of the four factors influencing the field status. (If all the fields are suppressed in a screen the screen will not appear during the creation of the VMR).
- Company Code, Transaction Used and Purchasing Organization are otehr influencing factors.
- Since the field status depend on several influencing factors, Link rules are necessary which determine the instance of the field status if different influencing factors have different effects.
- Hide has priority 1, Display 2, Mandatory 3, Optional entry 4
- Say for e.g. you want a field to be suppresses due to account group but a mandatory entry due to purchasing organization. Instance hide has the highest priority. If a field was suppresses by account group what was specified by purchasing organization becomes irrelevant.
- Display overrides Required & Optional Entry
- Required entry overrides Optional entry

My MacBook screen is displaying a pic of a folder with a question mark on it. Tried rebooting but still comes up the same. Anyone know what to do?

My MacBook screen is displaying a blank screen with a folder with a question mark on it. Can't get it to respond. Tried rebooting and folder with question mark comes back up. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks.

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by:
Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD:
Boot From The Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Screen tips in images without links

I would like to create an image map, but instead of hot links
at each place, I just want a different screen tip to pop up. For
example, with a brief explanation of each part of the image.
I can figure out a way to do this though. The image map is
the closest I can see, but that requires you to have a link at each
location.
Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this? Thanks.

Hi albertossjohn and welcome to our community
I do this all the time. Use the Image Map regions and enter
the tip text. And for the hyperlink, just type a pound symbol ( #

Channel Info Banner Display Time

How or where can I set the display time for the channel info banner time? My info banner remains on the screen for about 10 seconds unless I press the exit button.

There is an option under settings => television =>channel bar timeout (sequence is after pressing the MENU button on your remote).
You can set the duration to 2, 4, 8, 10 or 15 seconds.

2006 Mac Pro + NEC 3090 - grey screen not displayed during boot

I have a September '06 Mac Pro 1,1 (Woodcrest variant) hooked up to an NEC 3090 30" LCD monitor, running OS X 10.5.7. Previously, I was using an Eizo S2110W 21" LCD; turning the monitor and computer on would cause the following to be displayed (in order):
1. Light grey background with dark grey Apple logo with spinning thing.
2. Solid blue background.
3. Leopard wallpaper.
4. Log-in dialogue.
Since using the NEC, the grey screen is not displayed at all: the display stays blank until the blue screen is displayed, and then the Leopard wallpaper and so on. This is using the 2560x1600 native resolution of the display, and has occurred using both 10.5.6 and 10.5.7.
If I change the resolution to 1280x960 and boot, the grey screen is displayed. If I change it to 1600x1200, I get weird corruption on-screen during the period when the grey screen should be displayed; for some reason, this includes part of the desktop wallpaper I was using before I rebooted.
Resetting the non-volatile RAM using Command-Option-P-R works for the very first time I boot the computer, though the grey screen is displayed at very low resolution. If I reboot from the log-in dialogue immediately afterwards, normal behaviour occurs - i.e. the blank screen.
The upshot of all of the above is that if I want to boot into Windows, or install OS X (e.g. when Snow Leopard comes out), I have to remember to boot into my existing OS X installation, change resolution, reboot whilst remembering also to hold down the ALT/Option key. It would be much easier if I could do away with having to change resolution.
I have tried connecting the monitor to a PPC Mac mini at 1600x1200 (it won't go any higher), using Tiger 10.4.11 (not sure of exact version - the latest). At this resolution, the grey screen is displayed.
Using a '08 MacBook Air (first generation) and the supplied DVI adapter, also at 1600x1200, nothing is displayed on the NEC until I get to the log-in screen. This occurs if the NEC is set to be the primary display or the secondary one - the only difference is where the log-in dialogue is displayed. I am not familiar with dual-screen behaviour, so I can't say whether anything is supposed to be displayed or not (i.e. does the grey appear on both displays?).
I have been in touch with NEC Europe support on this issue, who suggested it might have something to do with the 10.5.7 release. I know this not to be the case, as it was occurring prior to 10.5.7 being released.
Any ideas?

Put more of your hardware listed in your profile.
I looked and don't see you list your graphics card anywhere.
Graphic card it came with was either X1900 (watch for heat and dust bunnies and clogged vent);
OEM 7300GT (seems unlikely).
You could have replaced either with 8800GT or ATI 3870.
Require 10.5.2+ ideally 10.5.6+.
Some problems cropped up with 10.5.7. 10.5.7 doesn't work on some (many) 3rd party displays and stay with 10.5.6 if necessary until it is fixed or resolved.
But you say it happens with 10.5.6 also, and was doing so before 10.5.7? which makes your problem somewhat different or unique.
Zapping PRAM or NVRAM reset obviously shouldn't be needed repeatedly. And your graphics card probably needs to be replaced, or test with another card to rule it out.

How do I turn off the time? The lock screen appears each time I open the smart cover.

No matter which app I'm in, when I open the smart cover, the lock screen with the time shows. This is on an iPad Air
On my iPad Mini, it goes right to the app and skips the lock screen.
It's sure nicer not to be reminded what time it is in the middle of the night--and not have the brighter lock screen flashed!

Appreciate the reply. The settings are identical, so that's not it! I do not use the pass code lock, in any event. The behavior I'm describing is, in fact, turns out to be unrelated to the lock settings!
It depends upon whether an alert has occurred after the last time you closed the cover! In iOS 7, that will show the lock/unlock screen with the alert when you next open the cover. In iOS 6, more properly, it will show the alert over the screen you were last looking at--no lock screen at all.
On our iPad Mini, iOS 6, we do not use the calendar, so no alerts, and we never see the lock screen or its glaring time (count me among those who would rather not know it's 3am when I decide to read in the middle of the night!) On the Air, we return to where we left off if there hasn't been an alert--but to the lock screen if there has been one!
Truly wish that Apple would give us options as to displaying the time or not--on the lock screen and on the status bar!

Hi
DVD-burners get's old
If You burn more than three DVDs in a row without pause to let DVD-Laser cool down - they grow older faster or even over-feat and die. My get's 20-30 minutes to cool down.
Free space on Start-Up hard disk - use to give problems - I never go under 25Gb free space when doing SD-Video and 4-5 times more if HD-material is used
Material feed into iDVD - there are more and more codecs coming and iDVD is picky. Some it can back-engineer to a working form - others not. A while ago this was no problem but as Cameras evolves this gives more and more problems. I convert all my material into a few working codecs/file formats as
• Video - AIC or streamingDV
• Photos - only as .jpg (Never .bmp)
• Audio - only .aiff (Never .mp3, .wma etc)
Forced or Panic Halts - introduces small errors (most often into the application pref. file) and builds up a coming disaster. Trashing this from time to time prevent's this and make application run better.
Just my spontaneous thoughts.
Yours Bengt W
