Set Next button to activate @ end of Captivate

Hi all,
We upgraded to Captivate 3 (love it) from Cap 1. We use a
vendor to create some of our eLearning courses in Catalyst
Interactive. Those courses are then imported to our Docent/SumTotal
LMS. We use standardized templates with Nav buttons for guided
learning. We set a Next button to activate on the template when the
Captivate is done so the user can move on.
The vendor just sent us a cranky note saying that with our
new Cap 3, they could no longer set a nav button (Next) to
activate. I can't believe that, but I'm not familiar with Catalyst,
we use Evolution. Is there anybody out there who can tell me if
that's true, and if it is how big a template change would be? I
can't imagine it's more than a reprogramming of the Nav buttons but
maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks in advance!
Robyn

Hello Alfador,
I'm really sorry that this functionality has been removed from Firefox. I strongly agree with you when you say that Mozilla's seemingly arrogant insistence that it knows what people want better than they do. I think we made a mistake(personal opinion) nevertheless don't get disheartened and Mozilla does listen to its users(you all are not customers but we have a relation which is beyond ) . I will try to give your feedback to the team and they would be reading your feedback. Read [http://www.ghacks.net/2014/04/30/mozilla-removes-tab-close-button-preference-firefox/ this] for more information. I'm utterly sorry.
Have a good day.

Prev/Next Buttons

I am using some paging code to add a previous and next
buttons to my spry gallery. I am attempting (unsuccessfully) to
hide the previous button at the beginning of the recordset and the
next button at the end. I have pasted the code below if anyone has
any ideas.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
<input type="button" value="Prev"
onClick="UpdatePage(pageOffset - pageSize);" />
<input type="button" value="Next"
onClick="UpdatePage(pageOffset + pageSize);" />

why didn't you use Spry Paged View instead of writing your
own code?
then you can use
if ({ds_PageNumber} == 1 ) {
//disable prev button & enable next
else if ({ds_PageNumber} == {ds_PageCount} ) {
//disable next button & enable prev
else{
//enable both prev & next button
you then just have to call this function, every time you do
navigation or page load (using observer or anything else)

Disable Next Button Until Slide is Completely Viewed

I need the slides to automatically advance, be able to go back, but not go to next unless it has already been viewed for the entire slide. So my thinking was only show a playbar if the user goes back, but then if I just have the back button it can't advance. If I put the next button at the end of the timeline it messes with my animations are no longer in sync.
1. I wish there were an ability to disable the next button in the play bar until the slide is over.
2. I tried making a variable v_view set it to 0
Created an action called PlayBarVisible as a conditional action
where if v_view is equal to 1
then assign cpCmndShowPlayBar with 1
else assign cpCmndShowPlayBar with 0
Set the slide On Enter to Execute Advanced Action to PlayBarVisible
On Exit to v_view to 1
So this works with one slide, the next one automatically has a play bar.
So, how can I get the slide to only allow next if the slide has been viewed, but if it has been viewed then the next is always available? Again, it has to not mess with my animations.

I have a widget on my website that will pause every slide 5 frames before the end-of-slide. I could easily add some code to hide the playbar and keep progress to show the playbar if the slide has been completed.
You could contact me through our website www.tlcmediadesign.com and we could work something out.

Making the "next" button inactive until video ends

I am new to Captive and have downloaded the trial version to test out to set up an e-learning module. I have managed to create my first quiz and was able to get it to work fine. I used one of the pre made templates and I inserted a flv video. The user needs to watch the video prior to taking an exam, but the way it is set up the next button is visable and active the entire time of the video. I discovered where you could modify the time before a button appears, but the user can get around that by hitting the pause button and waiting for the elapsed time to expire.
How do I set up the program so that the user has to watch the video in its entirety and only after the video is complete, they can proceed with the quiz. Thanks.

OK, after searching and googling, I think I may have found the answer. I found a hiding and showing action function, I will see if I can hide the next button until the video ends, at which point it will appear. I'll give it a shot and see if it works.

I have created an interaction to show 7 groups and 7 clickable objects. Once all are click the Next Button is show. How can you make that work if you want to embeded the SWF just created but show a button in a master Captivate?

In flash you can have a shell that has the navigation and some button in the shell are not activated until all clickable objects are clicked. I am not a flash programmer but it was related to using the path of shell and the sub-project.
Can anybody help me on that.
I would like to create Captivate interaction that you can just embedded in a Shell captivate project.
Do I need to set variables at both levels (Global variable.

Hello Lieve, That is the screen shot of my custom interactivity, when all labels are clicked the Continue button will be shown because there is a conditional validating if all Labels have now a value of 1. What I am trying to achieve is to create an interaction where where the continue button (an the back button would reside in another Captivate project. This way there is no reprograming required or use of share-actions. Everytime we use a similar advanced action or a shared action we have to make sure the object name in the advanced actions or conditional actions are not the same. I trying to make it a bit dump proof for somebody that does not know any thing about advanced action and just reuse the label interaction in may projects. (The only thing they would change would be the image and the content of the label.
Do you thing I going in the right direction. (As I said before I have custom javacript in Captivate 5.5) to unlock un button that was part of the LCMS ForceTen). I belive the word .this was part of the object path in the JavaScript. Can we hide and show a Captivate button.
I have embedded other Captivate animation in a Master Captivate but the objets were not talking to each other. (You can see a sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erm4_qdybiA&feature=youtube_gdata). In that sample the continue is always there and can be click anytime. The 3 steps animation has been done as another project and embedded in my main captivate. I would like to implement a solution where a my 7 labels have to be clicked in the subproject before showing and enabling the Continue button.
I hope my explanation is clear enough.

Setting a button to send an email in captivate 3

I set a button to send an email upon click at the end of my presentation. This is so if people have a question or comment they can send an email. I can get it to work but it also opens a blank internet page along with opening Outlook. All presentation users will use outlook so I would like get the link to open straight to email without also opening a blank page. Does anyone know how to fix this???

Yes, various ways. See: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address

HT4113 Can you set a passcode to activate at certain times of the day, say at 930pm, and turn off again the next morning?

Can you set a passcode to activate at certain times of the day, say at 930pm, and turn off again the next morning?

No, sorry, you can't. The screen lock passcode is either on at all times or it's off.

Determining next button after play has ended

I've created a DVD project with two menu pages, each with 10 buttons on it. After a selection has played, it always returns to the first menu and first button. Where do I set it so that, if I am watching something from 'menu 2', it stays on menu 2 and after the button has finished, the cursor moves to the next button?
Thanks,
Anthony

You'll find all you need in this excellent scripting tutorial: * GPRM based button jumps * (Thanks Hal!).
Hope that helps !

HT2470 The Finder toolbar, by default, has Previous and Next buttons that let you navigate back and forth in folders. I somewhat change that setting and can't go back and foreward. How do I change this setting to the original one? I tried everything!

Captivate 8 - Next Button

i created a next button that I would like to be clickable only after a person has listened to / viewed the entire screen.
How do I do that?
Thanks,
Charlotte

Easiest way would be to make it not appear until at the very end of the slide.

Captivate 8 - Next Button Works Only After Viewing Slide

How do I make a Continue button work only after the viewer has viewed the entire slide?
I also want the viewer to be able to skip ahead instantly through slides they have already viewed.
Thanks.
- Jason

Let me show you what I'm trying to create here. Sorry I need specific instructions since I'm a newbie to Captivate and not familiar with conditions and advanced actions.
I am currently using normal buttons (not a shape button) to create my PREVIOUS & NEXT buttons. Based on your advice I will switch to shape buttons.
"It could be done with a conditional advanced/shared action on Enter of each slide. You'll need a user variable per slide, a Boolean, that you change on the first visit from a default value of 0 to 1, after having checked its value."
What specifically do I select for the "On Enter" of each slide?
And do I only need to put this condition in the "On Enter" section of each slide? Or do I also need to setup special conditions for the NEXT button?
Thanks.

Disable next button until user click an object button (captivate 6)

I would like to disable the next button on a slide until the user clicks on a certain object.
I also would like to show a warning pop up message that appears and disappear when the user clicks next button before clicking the required object.
Thanks!
Jay

But you want the Next button to be visible?
What is that ' certain object'? Can you turn it into an interactive object, which is possible with smart shapes? Create a user variable v_click with a default value of 0. To the 'object' that has become interactive, add the standard action 'Assign v_click with 1'. The value of that variable will be checked in the conditional action that is attached to the Next Button.
For the Next button create this conditional action:
IF v_click is equal to 0
    Show popup message
ELSE
    Hide popup message
    Go to Next Slide

URL Links and Next Button conflict

I've put three clickboxes on a captivate slide, each leading
to a different URL.
At the end of the slide, I've placed a NEXT button, set to
Pause until user clicks. "If user clicks outside of button" is set
to Infinite Attempts. This is my attempt to hold the slide until
user has a chance to visit all three URL's.
Problem: clicking the URL links activates the next button, in
spite of the "infinite attempts" setting. I think I've found a way
around this using a series of duplicate slides, but I'm curious
about why it happens.
Thanks!

Welcome to our community, Maggie
When you insert a Click Box object and point it to a URL,
note there is a button with a down arrow to the immediate right of
where you type the URL. Click that and you get the option to choose
to open the project in a new window. I'm guessing you have already
done this or your complaint would be something else.
If you click that button a second time, you should then see
the option to DE-select the option "Continue playing project".
That's likely what you are looking for. You need to clear this
option on all the Click Boxes. Once you do this, you should see the
behavior you are wanting.
Cheers... Rick

Have a true/false template slide. The next button is ghosted and unclickable. Why?

Hi All.
Using CAPTIVAte 6 Build 01.240 Have added quiz slides at the end of Project. I can see the next button in Filmstrip view.
But when I publish the project next button does not work. Have looked at Quiz settings and not sure what is happening there. Please help. Wouuld like to know please why this happens?
Thanks,
Mel

Actually I beg to differ with Ian here.
The Next button on Quiz slides is indeed normally active as long as the Quiz > Settings > Required option is set to something that does not force the user to answer the question or get it correct before they can move on.
With the Optional setting, the Next button provides a way for the user to move through the questions WITHOUT answering them, whereas if they click the Submit button, the user would be shown a message that said: "You must answer the question before continuing".

How do I make a learner attempt a question, without having the option of a 'Next' button?

Hi,
Is it possible to display the feedback option (learner selected) from a multiple choice Question by clicking the next (or previous) page button?
I have set the progress to the next page, with the option 'Attempts - 1' from the Assessment page. The objective of this exercise was to make the learner attempt the given multiple choice question, without the option of going back or forward during their first attempt. The first time the learner comes across this page, he/she has to answer the question to move forward. Once he/she has answered the question (right or wrong), then he/she will be able to navigate to the next and previous pages.
Is there any functionality where we can restrict the learner in taking up the test (compulsory), before navigating to the next page (using 'Next' button)?
Thank you,
Emayavaramban M E

Don't show the Next button, but drag it under the Clear button if you have that one. Next button is really meant to skip an answer (which you do not want to allow) and during Review to make navigation possible. Since the Clear button will not be there during Review, then the Next button will become visible. Next is the new label (formerly it was labeled Skip). I explained some functionality of question slides in this post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
It was written in the CP5.5 time, so you'll still see the label 'Skip' that is now replaced by 'Next'
