Setting a condition for continuing to next slide

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 4. I have four rollover slidelets on a slide - each simultaneoulsy active for displaying in any order.
How do I create a condition where a 'Next slide' button would be made visible and activated on the slide only if all four rollover slidelets have been visited by the user? Is this possible in Captivate?

Hi there
I'm thinking you may be able to accomplish this by declaring one or more variables, then assign the on-click event for each of the slidelets so the event triggers an Advanced Action. The Advanced Action would consist of checking to see if the variable(s) have been set accordingly. Assuming the right condition exists (meaning all four slidelets have been clicked) an action would occur to reveal the button that allows the user to proceed.
Cheers... Rick

Keynote stops when playing and won't continue to next slide?

Keynote stops when playing and won't continue to next slide?

Hello, welcome to the user forum,
It would help if you told which version of Captivate you are using. Since you are talking about 'multiple actions', I suppose it is Captivate 4, because that feature was abandoned in Captivate 5 and even for CP4 it was not very recommendable, I always replaced it by an Advanced action.
I blog a lot about advanced actions, and also posted articles in the knowledgebase of CP-Help. A complete list of those articles are found as a link in this blog post:
Articles on Advanced Actions
It is a list published on acrobat.com; updated it yesterday with latest article.
If you are totally new to Advanced Actions, I could offer an example of the code you'll need, but want to know first if you are using CP4 or CP5.

How to set the conditions for item deletion approval workflow?

Hi,
I have created approval workflow for item modifications ie, when user try to modify an item, it will send a mail to Project Manager. For that I set the conditions in Change the behavior of the overall task: 1. When the task process starts 2 . When the task
process completes .
Change the behavior of the single task: 1.when a task is Pending.
[I followed this https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/Pages/5-Steps-to-Enhance-SharePoint-2010-Approval-Workflow.aspx ]
My Requirement is that I want to set this same workflow for the scenario: when the user deletes an item it will send a mail (intimation mail for item deletion) to Project Manager. here i dont want to send modification mails when user deletes an item.
When user modifies an item: 1. intimation mail, 2. Approve/Reject mail 3. intimation for approval / rejection mail.
When user deletes an item: 1. intimation mail.
How can we set it in one approval workflow?? where i have to set the condition for sending either item modification mails or deletion mail.
Thanks,
Praveen ji

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to start approval workflow when item deleted.
You should first make some changes to trigger the workflow when you delete the item.
You can use the Event Receiver to achieve it.
In order to trigger workflow on item delete you need to create event receivers and from event receiver call the workflow already attached with list.
http://ravendra.wordpress.com/sharepoint-workflow-on-list-item-delete/
You can also create custom action to start the workflow, you can refer to the following article, then modify the workflow as your need.

Setting a condition for preferred drill path.

Is there a way we can set a condition for preferred drill path in hierarchy?
Our requirement is to skip levels if they have no values..
Thanks in advance.

No you can't (90% sure)
But may be you have ragged hierarchies, have you seen this blog on how to model it ?

Cp5 - Slide with FLV doesn't continue to next slide.

Is this still a bug? I'm on Windows XP. I have an FLV on a slide, set to display for length of slide, and 'pause slide till end of video'. The FLV has the minimal clearskin1 playbar, and synchronize with project is unchecked, loop in unchecked.
I don't want the learner to be able to skip the video, so I have the project skin turned off. After the FLV plays I want the slide to advance to the next slide, which is a quiz slide. After publishing, if I don't pause the video, it works. But if I pause the video, it sometimes DOESN'T work...the video fades to black and the slide just sits there, and since there is no skin, there is no way to go to the next slide. If I put a 'Next' button on the slide and have it appear toward the end of the video, then I run into the problem of it appearing too soon if the person pauses the video for a long time, since the slide continues to play even if the FLV is paused.
Is this a bug in CP5 as well?
thanks

Quick question before I give up on this. Can I only add tables in this manner. I am trying a simple file right now untill I understand how to do it. I create a file that contains a button (which will be used for adding an extra drop down list) and a drop down list. I did not include a second button to remove the section.
I then select the button and in the Script window add the:
// Invoke the Instance Manager to add one instance of the detail subform.
subform1._DropDownList1.addInstance(1);
//Invoke the recalculate method to include the field values from the added row in calculations.
xfa.form.recalculate(1);
So my subform is called "subform1" while my element I want to duplicate with the button is called "DropDownList1"
At this point I get confused and not sure what I need to do.

How do I set my project to advance to next slide on mouse click vs just play?

Captivate 6 on mac running OS 10.7.5 file format in question .htm (firefox)
I'm brand new to Captivate 6 (never used it before) I have put together a mock presentation from scratch which has a few introductory slides then a quiz. When I publish it there is a "play" button which is NOT the behavior I want.
I watched a training video from Lynda.com and the insstructor imported a PPT file, there was a dialog box which asked the how to advance slide, there was a drop down menu and one of two options was advance "on mouse click". This is the behavior I'm looking for.
I've scoured the internet and forums etc to find a comparable option elsewhere in Captivate 6 when creating from scratch vs importing from PPT and cannot find one anywhere. I've also read that you can insert a click box object and that that would do what I'm looking for but that doesn't work either.
Does any such option exist and if so where/ how do I get to it/ use it. Please see attachments below. First screen shot is the first slide I get which isn't the first slide either, what's up with that? Next one is simply to show how the project just "plays" instead of advancing slide by slide. Third is my publish dialog box. Bottom line I don't want a "play" button I want the user to mouse click next, next, next etc. How do I do this?
Thank you for any help or suggestions!

Maybe I understand something wrongly, but thought you also wanted to know how you can make slides advance on clicking the Next button instead of having it playing on automatically? And instead of using the playbar you want to have a Previous and Next button?
The way imported PPT with advance on Mouse click works is because there is a click box added to each slide that pauses that slide at its end. The user has to click on the slide to advance.
A click box is an 'interactive' object: this means that you can have it pausing the slide, that the user can interact with it and trigger an action like 'Go to Next Slide'.
You added (from what I see on the last screenshot) another interactive object, but now I'm confused: the third screenshot has a Prev and Next arrow, I think those are shapes. You do not need to add a click box on top of them (what I see on the last screenshot), they can be converted themselves into buttons. I blogged a lot about those shape buttons. Anyway, both click box and shape button can pause the slide. This is the case by default for click boxes (at the end of their duration, their timeline), for shape buttons you have to tell them to pause in the Timing accordion. In your case I certainly would choose a shape button because they can be put on a master slide, or timed for the rest of the project whereas Click boxes need to be unique on each slide, you'l have a lot of copy/paste to do then. In the Action accordion, On Success you choose the action, I think in this case you want 'Go to Next Slide' for the Next 'thing'
As for the first screenshot, Rod explained that you cannot get rid of the play button for pdf output, but you can have a poster image instead of the blank screen. There is a folder icon in Preferences, Project, Start and End when you deselect AuotPlay.
Here is a link to an article where I explain shape buttons:
http://lilybiri.posterous.com/why-i-like-shape-buttons-captivate-6
There is an on-demand webinar as well on the Adobe site which I presented, only about shape buttons.

Set Rule conditions for Determine Tax Applicability rules

Hi
We are doing Tax setups In Release 12. We need to setup the Rule condition for Determine tax Applicability as Applicable. can you please tell me the Naivgation Path.
Regards
Venkateswaran R

rules contain a number of rule conditions each of which has its own parameters, like:
tell application "Mail"
set new_rule to make new rule at end of rules with properties {name:"New Rule", all conditions must be met:true, move message:mailbox "Some Mailbox"}
tell new_rule
make new rule condition at end of rule conditions with properties {rule type:from header, qualifier:equal to value, expression:"[email protected]"}
make new rule condition at end of rule conditions with properties {rule type:subject header, qualifier:does contain value, expression:"Trigger Phrase"}
end tell

CF Set form.variable for query and Next/Previous pages error

I have a CF form with a select that posts to a CF "action" page.
On the action page I: CFSET ItemNumber=#form.ItemNumber#
I CFOUTPUT the 'ItemNumber' into the CFQUERY (which is an Inner Join dependant on the '#ItemNumber#')...
All of the above works just fine and displays the database fields in color alternating rows, per the rest of the code.
Here's the problem:
I'm displaying 40 rows on a page per "Next and Previous" code. (CFPARAM name="start" default="1" and CFPARAM name="disp" default="40" along with the rest of the NextN code in the header and body). This does display 40 rows on the page and puts a link at the bottom of the page "Next 40 Rows", etc.
Note: I'm only querying the database once and using the query (query name="data") to populate the table rows And the NextN code (CFOUTPUT name="data") And (CFIF start + disp GREATER THAN data.RecordCount, etc)...
The problem happens when you click the "Next 40 Rows" link to display the 2nd page of rows. Since (I'm assuming) this NextN code is 're-reading' the same page from top to bottom, an error is thrown when the code tries to read the CFSET ItemNumber=#form.ItemNumber# at the top of the page.
With the #form.ItemNumber# on this action page Originally coming from the previous posting of the form to this action page, when the "Next 40 Rows" link is clicked and the NextN code re-reads this action page - the CFSET ItemNumber (#form.ItemNumber) is not getting populated and throws the error...
I hope I've not made this sound confusing.
I can get the NextN code to work when I'm just querying the database without "flying in" a form variable. But when I CFSET a variable (#form.ItemNumber#) that is inserted into the query, the second page of the NextN throws an error and doesn't display.
I would include the page code here but it would be fairly lengthy and, as well, the NextN code is a 'standard' CF code -- I've narrowed the problem down to the above "Element is undefined" (when the page tries to reload from the "Next 40 Rows" link) and am hoping there's a simple fix or another way to display the records in Next and Previous pages.
Thanks to anyone in advance for shedding light on this.
- e

Thank you for the reply, Owain.
Yes - The Next/Previous at the bottom of the page are hyperlinks.
<a href="ThisPage.cfm?start=#Evaluate("start + disp")#">
The following is at the top of the page (and is the variable from the form that I CFOUTPUT in the query):
<cfparam name="ItemNumberDropdown01" default="">
<cfset ItemNumber = #form.ItemNumberDropdown01#>
The error report showed that the "Next Page" hyperlink was reading an undefined variable... although when the "action page" first opens from the form posting to it, it populates the CFSET just fine (per the cfparam and cfset above)... As you mention, the hyperlink clearing the form scope is what causes the error in trying to display the next set of records...
The form page and the 'action page' are both secure pages with an application page setting the session, etc. Am I at risk in using an URL scope?
Where would this URL scope be put? (The href is shown above - would the URL scope go in this? - How would this be written?)
The CFPARAM and CFSET would still exist at the top of the 'action page' and still throw an error wouldn't it or would this be replaced with something else to read the form.variable for this 'first' action page to be displayed?
Thanks again for the 'education' on this...

How to set the condition for dynamic Xquery in OSB11g

Hi to all,
I have a requirement like three different requests all are converted in to standard format.For this scenario I use dyamic X-query transformation.For Example RequestA,RequestB and RequesrC what ever request it should be converted into one standard format say Response.For this I create three X-Query transformations,and proxy service.If i get the request from RequestA related XQuery will execute (RequstA to Response transformation).
RequestA------Response
RequestB------Response
RequestC------Response
Actually my idea is based on requset schema name (like RequestA) it will convert,for this scenario how can I set condition in dynamicXquery.
Thanks in advance.

Adobe Form - How to set a condition for a Subform

Hi All
I am new in Adobe Form and learing it - (I had some knowledges of SmartForm) - One of the requirement I have to do is to print out a different layout (subform) according to a value of a flag.
In Smartform, I can draw diffrent layouts and put a condition on each layout so each one can be printed accroding to the flag value.
In Adobe Form, the subform (or any other object) cannot be conditional set - I don't know how to do it - Could comeone please show me how - I reward points for any reply - Thanks

You are excused with your English - and you must excuse mine , too
Your questions:
But, how i write the condition ?
1- If ( article.table1 = Null ) then ... ?
2- If ( article.table1.Rangée1.SubForm2.lib_article.rawValue = " " ) then... ?
Try this:
1- // Locate the table node from to down
var tNodes = xfa.resolveNodes("Table1[*]");
If (tNodes.value == NULL) {
    tNodes.presence = "Hidden" }
or
2- // locate the varable fields and loop thru to check if they are all empty
var fNodes_1 = xfa.resolveNodes("article.table1.Rangée1[*].SubForm2.num_article");
var fNodes_2 = xfa.resolveNodes("article.table1.Rangée1[*].SubForm2.lib_article");
var fNodesLength = fNodes_2.length;
var table_empty = "Y";
for (var fNodeCount = 0; fNodeCount < fNodesLength; fNodeCount++) {
   If     (fNodes1.item(fNodeCount).rawValue <> " ") or
          (fNodes2.item(fNodeCount).rawValue <> " ")      {
             table_empty = "N";
// Now find the table node and hide if if necc
var tNodes = xfa.resolveNodes("Table1[*]");
If table_empty = "Y" {
    tNodes.presence = "Hidden" }
You must place those codes at the Subform Article level in Javascript mode
Good Luck

How to set discount condition for distount condition?

Hellow!
We use price condition ZP01 (base price)
Then discount condition ZDI1 (discount for customer group and material group) is implemented for base price
This works fine.
But now I need to implement extra condition to correct discount. It is percent condition which redice discount for customer.
Example
base price ZP01
100 EUR
discount ZDI1
cust group 01 material group 01 - 10%
cust group 01 material group 02 - 20%%
DISCOUNT CORRECTION (ZDK)
cust 1001 0,7 (or 30%) (cust 1001 in 01 customer group)
It means that discount in sale document for material group 01 should be 7% and for mat group 02 14% . So condition ZDK reduce discount perchens but not item price.
Please help me, how ZDK should be inserted into price procedure.
Andrey Garshin.

Hi Andrey,
Are there any logical reasons behind the reduction as follow:
1) 10% --> 7% (Material Group 1)
2) 20% --> 14% (Material Group 2)
If there are logic to these reduction, you can proceed to write a routine in VOFM and assign it accordingly for condition type ZDK in your pricing procedure. However, this does not seems to be a standard practice and business wise this would also appear to be rather inflexible and are constrained by the routine you built alone.
Alternative to the above, I would recommend that you could also consider using the standard condition type PMIN (minimum pricing) given in the standard pricing procedure. The reason you are probably reducing (or correcting) the discount is also because too much discounts are granted in any sales transaction and therefore you may want to establish a control that there should be a minimum price for a particular material sold. This can be achieved automatically using the PMIN condition type.
As such, if the minimum price is not met during pricing in sales order transaction, then the system automatically determines the difference using condition type PMIN.
Example:
Condition record PMIN: USD 1,000
Sales Order Pricing:
PR00 (Basic Price) = USD 1,250
K007 (Customer Discount) = USD 300
PMIN (Minimum Price) = USD 50
Net Value = USD 1,000 (as per PMIN condition record USD 1,000)
Whenever minimum price for a material change, you can just change the condition record to quickly change your requirement without changing the configuration.
Hope the above helps give an idea on how to approach your discount design.
Thanks.

Button Widget - Need it to jump to next slide, not simply continue

I'm new to Cp 5.5. I was an expert in Cp4 and prior versions, but due to work changes I've not worked with Captivate in a few years and am just getting back into it. Definitely things have changed!
I setup a master slide and at the top-right I placed one of the static SWF button widgets that comes with Captivate. In the options for it I set it to go to the next slide when clicked, however upon preview it is continuing on the same slide and not jumping to the next one. I tried it with a few of the swf buttons and they all work the same. Am I doing something wrong? Or is the code broken on these buttons?
If the latter, then I guess my option, if I really want to keep the look of the button (I do), then is to just use it as an image button?

Hello and welcome back,
The static button coming with Captivate 5.5 has no pausing point but it should work OK, does for me anywat. How did you test? Can you insert a text caption with the system variable rdinfoCurrentFrame to see if there is indeed no jump to next slide?
If you want the static button with a pausing point, at half its duration, you can download it from my blog:
What I (dis)like in Captivate 5.5
I do not understand your last question? You want only the image, not the functionalities of that button? You should be aware that only static objects can be inserted on a master slide, not interactive objects.

Can't go to next slide after adding advanced action to answer and other

Hi,
I'm creating a quizz and there are some problems I can't
solve.
I have a flash project with login page, where user should
fill name, company and e-mail. To this e-mail I have to send the
results of the quizz. After you correctly fill the gaps and click
OK, my flash aplication starts within the Adobe Captive 4 project
(swf file). And now problems:
1. In my captivate project: I have a question, 3 answers, 3
possible attemps and one correct answer. If user answer wrong,
there is a grey hightlight box, which should apears over my chosen
wrong answer and stay there to mark already chosen answer and there
is also a text animation "Sorry, your answer is not correct." under
the quizz (on the same slide), which appears instead of error
message. No problem, it works, I made a script for it, which is
joined to every wrong answer (in Edit Question > (Answers)
Advanced > Execute Advanced Action). But the problem is with
correct answer (it shows text animation "Congratulations!" and
green hightlight box). If I specify the event on correct answer and
then submit the right answer, it shows the hightlight box, the text
animation, but it doesn't continue to next slide! It stucks despite
of the
settings Edit Question > Options > (If correct answer)
Action: Go to next slide). If I add new statement to my
script, which is "Go to next slide" and then click on the right
answer, it immediately jump to next page and doesn't show the
hightlight box and the text animation. How can I wait until the
duration of the animation ends and after that go to next slide?
Script for the advanced action on my correct answer is:
-> show rightHighlightBox
-> show congratulationsText
2. I need another pass fail option, for example - I have 30
questions - 3 answers, one correct, 3 attemps. User submits wrong
answer, but then he choose the right one, but he choose the wrong
one at first ---> 0 points. It's e-learning and I need to allow
users to correct them.
3. How can I export the value of correctAnswers to my flash?
Is it possible?
Thank you very much for reply!

Hi,
You need to add a "Continue" statement at the end of your
script otherwise you will have to click on Skip to go to next
slide.
And all the Quzzing information can be accessed from Flash
using the Quizn variables.
thanks

About condition for loop in BPM

I design a loop, condition is counter<>3.
It seems only receives 3 messages when I send more than 3.
for example, I send 105 messages, for every 10 messages it will generate a file. and I totally have 11 files.
What is the best way to end the loop?

Hey,
       you need to have two loops in this.
       Have your send step(for the file) in the inner loop.
        The condition for this loop will be te number of messages that you need per file.
      The outer loop should terminate when all the messages are recieved.(recieve step will be in the outer loop)
   This is not possible with the no. of messages
You can do one thing, provide a stop message as an input along with the other messages.
And set the condition for the outer loop for the stop message.
This will terminate the outer loop.
regards,
        Milan

Click box problem..loop to next slide without the command

Guys, I have a problem with my click boxes.
I'm using captivate 5.5.
details:
I have 4 click boxes
3 for hide and show objects
1 for go to next slide.
I have 2 slides only.
first slide has the changing view.
sample:
clickbox1 opens object 1 2 and 3 and triggers audio inside object 1 (working)
clickbox2 hides objects 1 2 and 3..shows 4 5 and 6 objects with audio also.
clickbox 3 goes the same process.
Problem: when I click clickbox2..it performs the action but maybe at around 1 second then proceed to the next slide. in which in the action, there was no command that say go to next slide or any.
the button for the next slide is on the 4 clickbox.
I'm using advance actions by the way.
I'm confused, this is my second time to do this..the first was working, what could be the problem?
Thanks

link sent thru PM.
I'm thinking if this is an inconsistency of CP.
