Scripting for Conditional Advanced Actions disappears after saving - title remains

Hi, for the third time in a 24 hour period, after painstakingly entering 14 lines of variables and actions, the contents of the conditional AA script that I saved disappeared.  Yes, I saved all of them!  The name I gave it remains on the list of Advanced Actions, but clicking on it yields a virginal scripting window. At this point I've wasted a couple of hours re-writing the script only to have it go blank on me again.  Any ideas?

It's actually a lot more complex than that.
Here is a list of words that should NOT be used when naming objects, slides, variables or actions in Captivate because they can conflict with existing code or names in the app:

  • Repeating a script for an advanced action

    I've created and advanced action for a click button. The properties are if the textbox is empty (v_null) to display a failure messge, if not display a correct message. The advanced action is working perfectly but it won't repeat it's self. So for example, if the user doesn't type something in text box  and clicks the button, the script runs and gives the correct message, but if the user  attempts to write someting after the first message pops in the text box and clicks on the button again, nothing displays. It's like the scipt will only run once.
    Is there a way to have an advanced action repeat it's self?
    Here is the script:

    Captivate's Advanced Actions are event-driven.  So you can only trigger them via some kind of on-screen event.
    All of the events available to you are listed here:
    http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-advanced-actions/run-time-events
    Once you've triggered the advanced action as a result of clicking a button, then you need another button click or event of some kind to run the action again.  Captivate does not currently allow you to call an advanced action from another action.

  • Weird issue. Captivate 6 not letting me select a script for an Advanced Action

    Hi, So i'm facing this really weird issue on a captivate 6 project that i built. I need to add an Advance Action on a slide Exit action. This was previously set as "Continue" and now I want to set this to "Execute Advanced Action" (an Advanced Action script that I just wrote). The thing is that when I change the On Exit property to "Execute Advanced Actions", I am not able to select a script from the "Script" dropdown. I've tried everything from:
    changing machines and doing this on different computers with Captivate 6
    Making copies of the file and trying those
    Closing Captivate and Restarting my computer
    Ensuring that the slides are not locked
    but can't seem to figure this out. Also funnily, if I try to set the On Exit property of let's say slide 67 as "Execute Advanced Actions" (when it was previously just "Continue"), all other slides are also changing to this, meaning the On Exit property for all other slides has also been changed from "Continue" to "Execute Advanced Actions".
    I've been stuck with this for the last 6 hours and can't figue this out.
    Please Help!!!

    If this is the same file you were having issues with before where we suspected corruption, then I'd have to say this probably confirms it.
    http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/recover-corrupt-project
    Usually the fix is to copy all slides into a new blank shell project of the same size to try and strip out the corruption issue.
    See item #4 here:
    http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/basic-troubleshooting-tech niques
    However, since you are on a Cp version earlier than 7.0.1, please note that this will also strip out all of your current advanced actions as well (which also might be where the corruption is anyway).
    Your issue is actually quite rare.  I cannot guarantee you that Cp 7 would never do the same thing, but one advantage of Cp7 is that you can try copying and pasting slides into a new shell project and it WILL bring along the advanced actions and variables as well.  So I definitely think it's worth downloading the trial version of Cp7, upgrading with the Cp 7.0.1 patch and giving it a go to see if that fixes your issue.
    Alternatively, if you haven't got lots of time-consuming Advanced Actions to recreate, just paste all slides into a new shell project and recreate them.  It's probably not going to take that long if it's only one project file.

  • Journal entry disappears after saving and not available to post

    Hi Gurus
    On BPC for Netweaver version 7.5 and excel 2003 i am able to save the journal entry but am not able to post it since it disappears after saving. I could see the Journal ID being generated and then the layout gets cleared . i am unable to post this journal. Also when i go to journal manager and tries to list the journals this saved journal does not show up.
    I have already set the application parameter "JRN_MAXCOUNT" to 1000  so that i can see the journals that i create.
    Have any of you faced such an issue?
    Regards

    Hi Tara,
    Thank you very much for your tip. I had Datasource as one of the header fields and i moved it to the item fields to make it work. I am still not sure why does that. May be because when we create the journal template system proposes only the required fields in Header and if select additional ones its not liking it.
    I cannot come up with a reasoning why we cannot incorporate a non required field in header journal template . The obvious reason that i included the datasource dimension in header itself was because it was a common value that i want to use for all my journals.
    Anyway i hope SAP would either fix this or come up with a reasoning.
    Thanks again..

  • Reminders no longer work. Alert time disappears after saving.

    After setting the date, time and alert the time disappears after saving.

    Go to iCloud.com and check if your reminder on there has been backup. If all your remainder was backup. You can go to Settings>iCloud>Turn on Reminder
    Sometimes iCloud setting should be turned on for Calendar or Reminder for it to work like to create new event on the calendar or reminder

  • Conditional advanced actions still not operational

    I have been trying to master some basic conditional actions but with very little luck. You can see from the screen shot that all I am trying to achieve it to have a situation where once the user has clicked all of the buttons a Well done message pops up. Could this be so hard? I have included screen shots of the variables I have created as well as the advanced actions. Aplogies for the screen shots.

    Maybe you should have read this
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/template-for-reusing-script old but the work flow for the actions still valid.
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/link-score-to-attempts-in-custom-questions   scroll down to the actions on the Score slide
    And I showed the work flow in a recent webinar about shared actions, you'll find the recording link for 'Prepare and Share Advanced Actions' here: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/tag/etrainings
    Have several comments about your condtional action:
    Why do you add the condition 'If 1 is equal to 1'? That is only needed as standalone condition if you want to have a standard action combined with a conditional action, is not the case here
    Combi standard and conditional action  old article explaining that combination
    The problem is that your conditional action is triggered by the On Enter event for your slide: you don't tell if you return to that slide? I don't think so, which means this action will never again be done
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/events-and-advanced-actions
    The solution is to combine the standard with the conditional action in the actions triggered by the On Success event for the buttons; use a conditional action with two decisions (described in the second link I posted above):
    'Always' is standard action (If 1 is equal to 1') and has the commands that you have in your present standard actions
    'Checking' is the real condition, has to be after the Always (sequence very important: http://blog.lilybiri.com/blog-after-posterous-clickclick); as I told you just need the 3 conditions about the variables combined with AND
    Sorry for all the links, have been writing about advanced actions for about 3 years, stopped in March. If I was sure to find enough buyers, would create some digitial cookbooks. But I feel this would be a lot of work for nothing.

  • Imported Objects Disappear After Saving

    I have been working on a project into which I've imported 4 Illustrator objects (If you look at the first image below, the objects are a lightpost, two figures, the word StoryFirst and the word Media). I saved the 4 objects as separate files in Illustrator and then imported each one as "Composition" while leaving the "Illustrator/PDF/EPS Sequence" box unchecked.
    After saving the AE project last night, I reopened the project this morning and found this:
    As you can see, the lightpost and figures objects are still visible in the composition pane, but the StoryFirst and Media objects have disappeared. The files are still listed in the project pane, however, and you can still select the object layers in the timeline and you will get the object wireframes in the composition pane as if they were still there, but the actual objects themselves are no longer visible. As you can see in the picture, when I select a layer of the StoryFirst object in the project pane, the mini-preview in the upper left corner doesn't even display it.
    I've tried closing and reopening the project a few times as well as toggling on and off the eye switch on each layer in the timeline, both to no avail. I also tried right clicking on each layer and choosing "Replace File" and bringing everything back in again new. This makes the objects reappear at the moment I have the project open, but as soon as I save the project again, close it and reopen it, they've disappeared again! All object files are in the same place in my hard drive as they've always been. AE never prompted me with an error message that it couldn't locate files. This is a very bizarre problem I've never encountered before.
    Any help in solving this mystery would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone!

    In AI, check your layers palette and inspect the structure of your groups. There may be odd combinations of e.g. groups with empty clipping masks (that cover the entire artboard and are only there, because the graphics were imported from a legacy version of AI or another program). That could lead to misinterpretation where then AE would clip the entire artwork. Similarly, look for things like Livepaint groups or live pathfinder groups. Same for art brushes, pattern brushes, pattern fills etc. In case of doubt, always do an Object --> Expand, then select the artwork and choose "Release Clipping mask". Often a bit optimization will do wonders. Also, one thing that came to mind after I wrote my last reply, is to check your swatches. Since AE operates in RGB mode only, it may not deal correctly with spot color swatches (Pantone) and CMYK swatches...

  • Script for naming Layer-based Slices after Layers?

    Is there a script (PScc) for layer-based slicing in which the slices are named after their associated layers? I've done a lot of searching and it looks like this might have been in older versions of PS but I have not found anything recent.
    I don't have much experience with Javascript personally so I'm hoping someone has tackled this before. Thanks in advance!

  • Values disappear after saving the Purchase Order and Goods Receipt PO

    HI,
    Our client is using SAP Business One 2007 A(8.00.181) SP 00 PL 47, When they raise Purchase Order for service item, the details and amount disappears automatically after adding the document and similar case for Good Receipt PO. But when they book directly in AP invoice the details and amount will appeared.So please help on solution for the above problem.
    Best Regards,
    Grayson

    Dear Mr Burton,
    If I understood correctly you cannot see the information inside the document you added. This made me think that it is a GUI issue.
    In the second answer you specified that when you try to open it again you'll receive the error message saying that there is no total value or total and I assume there is no information in the document.
    I believe the second issue is a consequence of the first one.
    I was suggesting to open a message on the portal (the message that requires the S number from the partners) in order to investigate the issue better.
    However, as you have an error message that pinpoints to certain fields it could be possible to see the information in the tables. Do you have this information?

  • Conrefs disappear after saving to xml

    Hi all,
    I'm having a weird issue with conrefs and I'm hoping someone can help.
    I have 3 documents: DocA, DocB, and DocC.
    I've been using conrefs to reuse rows in a table that need to be repeated in multiple files. DocA is the source file that contains the main content and DocB and DocC contain conrefs to table rows in Doc A.
    When I insert the conrefs everything seems to go fine and I'm able to save all the docs as xml without error. However, after I close and reopen DocB, some of the cells are blank (e.g., in a 3 column table, some rows will still have content in column 1, but not column 2 or 3). When I look at the details for the affected rows, the conrefs seem to have disappeared.
    I've tried reinserting the conrefs, and this seems to work fine until I reopen the file. When I reopen the file, the conrefs I fixed generally appear, but cells in a different row are missing. To make matters even weirder, DocC, which contains conrefs to the exact same rows, works fine and all the conrefs show up.
    This problem has occured in several sets of files. I really don't know what to do. I've tried reassigning IDs to all of the source rows in DocA and rebuilding the tables in DocB and DocC, but the same problem keeps popping up (sometimes it goes away for a few days and then returns).
    I've also checked the DITA Options and the "Auto-Load Conrefs On File Open" is enabled.
    Has anyone run into a similar problem or know anything about this? I'm getting nervous about using conrefs at all if they can disappear without warning!
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    D'Arcy

    Be sure to check the console window .. this won't be an error message that pops up .. maybe you already know that, but just wanted to make sure.
    I'll have to test this in FM10. I use (and make) DITA-FMx where this works fine, but will test it in default FM-DITA and see if there's a problem. Do you have the latest FM10 patches installed? I do recall some issues with table conrefs in early FM10, but think they were fixed later .. the current version is 10.0.2.419.
    ... testing ...
    OK, just tested it and sure enough, it doesn't seem to work .. conreffing either rows or cells .. it works when you insert it, but doesn't resolve when opened. The data is still valid, but it just doesn't render in FM. When I open the files I created in FM10 (default DITA support) with DITA-FMx, the conrefs show up just fine. If you really need table conrefs, it might just be a good reason to buy DITA-FMx ..

  • A Script for Conditional Text Batch Export

    Hi, I was directed into this subforum with this question:
    I have a document with nearly 200 versions of conditional text that has to be individually swapped out and exported to pdf. I genearlly just do this one at a time all the way though.
    Is there a way to batch the export of these pdfs? I've been scouring the internet for a soultion but can't seem to find one. I am on CS4 still if it matters. Thanks!

    Hi,
    no Problem Take a look at the exportline too. you can choose between backgroundexport and normal export.
    var nameOfThePDFExportPresetYouWantToUse = 'MyPdfPreset' //please don't forget to set!
    var currDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var currFilePath = currDoc.filePath.absoluteURI + '/';
    var currFileName = currDoc.name.replace(/.indd/, '');
    var currConditions = currDoc.conditions;
    //set all conditions visible to false
    currConditions.everyItem().visible = false;
    l = currConditions.length;
    //cycle thru conditions
    while(l--){
    currCondition =     currConditions[l];
    //set actual condition visible to true
    currCondition.visible = true;
    currConditionName = currCondition.name
    //set pdfName
    var exportTo = File(currFilePath + currFileName + '_' + currConditionName +'.pdf');
    //Have a look here:
    //export PDF. to choose backgroundexport. use the second line of code
    currDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, exportTo,false,  nameOfThePDFExportPresetYouWantToUse);
    //currDoc.asynchronousExportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, exportTo,false,  nameOfThePDFExportPresetYouWantToUse);
    //set actual condition visible to false

  • My appleoworks drawing disappeared after saved as a microsoft document.

    I saved my appleworks document as a microsoft one, closed it and when I returned to it all my drawings were gone. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening or is this just an incompatibility between microsoft and appleworks? It was so annoying the first time so I just went and used someone's windows pc to redo my work and send it out but I don't have access to a pc anymore. So how can I prevent appleworks from deleting my drawings after save it as a microsoft document?

    AppleWorks does not make MS Word documents (just as MS Word does not create AppleWorks documents); it never has (nor has it ever been claimed). While you can save your text in a format that can be opened in Word, drawings and images will, more often than not, fail to be reproduced, and the document formatting may or may not be as originally intended. If a Microsoft Word document is what you need, then it will have to be created in MS Word.
