Setting control bar to resume auto-play (Captivate 6)

Hi,
I am currently using Captivate 6 to create an eLearning course. We have decided to display the bottom control bar to allow flexibility for the student to move between screens in each lesson. Currently if the student uses the progress arrow in the control bar to move forward or backward the lesson pauses and the user has to press the Play button to resume the lesson.
Does anyone know of a setting within Captivate or whether it is possible to program the control bar so that it will resume auto-play mode whenever the student uses the progress bar to move back and forth within a lesson?
Cheers,
Richard

Hello and welcome
I think you are talking about scrubbing the progress bar? I don't know about a way to achieve AutoPlay. Moreover, if your course is not linear, it is not a good idea to give free navigation that way at all. Same for the buttons on the normal playbars. I almost never use it for that reason. Another way to allow free navigation is the TOC (which you can have in overlay so that it can be hidden/shown by the user). In the TOC it is easier to show chapters, and if you add labels to the slides, at least user will know where he is going to.

How to set spark application control bar at bottom

Hi,
I am trying to set control bar at bottom of application container in spark, could any please help me with this, i need applicationskin code to set control bar at bottom insted of default at top.

You need to write a custom Application skin.
Attached is an example custom skin that moves the "topGroup" to after the "contentGroup".

Unable to customize control bar. Control-Click does not produce drop down window.

I just downloaded Logic Pro X (10.0.7) on a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.9.4, 2.3 Core i7 with 8 GB Ram. I'm trying to customize the control bar (to add auto punch). According to "help" the control bar is customized by Control-Clicking on the control bar and selecting the desired tools from the drop down menu. When I Control-Click (anywhere on the control bar) nothing happens.
I have tried this with no audio interface attached and with my Focusrite Saffire Pro 26 on-line; no difference.

Ahhh...those pesky "Advanced Preferences".

Play and pause button and control bar are missing below xfinity player

when I want to watch a video noticed play and pause button and control bar are missing below xfinity player.

For the two soundchannel sounds you have, you will need to keep track if and which one is playing so that you can use some logic to stop the sound right after you mark where the sound was (position) so that you can resume playing it again when the play button is selected.
So if the stroke sound is started, you could assign a boolean variable named something like 'strokeplaying' to be true (setting the other sounds similar boolean false). Then, in your pause function you would test to see if strokeplaying is true and if it is, store the position property and stop the channel playing.
When play is selected, similarly, you test if that sound is true and if so you restart it using the position value you stored as the starting point. You do the same for the other sound... remembering that it is possible neither is playing when pause it clicked.

Embedded SWF files auto starting in IE but set to not auto play - Chrome, Firefox, Safari work ok

One of the web masters at my school has embedded several Captivate 5 swf files in a web page. I had re-exported all of them to not auto start after we realized that the originals were set to auto play upon loading (someone else made the orginials...). Caches have been cleared on IE9, but yet, when that page loads, all of the no auto-play swfs start playing. On Chrome, Firefox and Safari, none of them start playing when the page is loaded. Does anyone have a clue why IE9 might be doing this and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Sue

Am I correct in assuming that when your web developer set these SWFs up on the same page that he did not use the default HTM page that Captivate creates? Did he just embed them into the web page using standard Dreamweaver code for SWFs?
Do the same Captivate SWFs start automatically if you upload them to your web server individually with the HTM and JS files that Captivate creates? If not, then your web developer might be better off embedding the content in his web page using individual iframes pointing at the HTM file rather than the method he previously chose.

I started setting up a web page with iWeb. Auto play box is checked, but music will not play when page is opened.

I started setting up a web page with IWeb.
Several proplems so far:
1) Auto Play box checked for music, but music does not start when page is opened.
2) Can't get Quicktime "start/stop" slide to start and finish a section within a long piece of music (classical for example). How does one work the slide bar to do this?

Yes the audio file plays on the iWeb page when I click the play button. I even made sure it played both without the “little boxes” that surround the icon (don’t know the technical name for those), and when I click the music icon without the little boxes.
I did note that the iTunes window that appears when I open the Inspector is not highlighted until I click the music icon and those little boxes appear. Then the Start/Stop, Auto Play, Loop, and Show Movie Controller are highlighted — and work properly.
One other thing. I see that the iWeb icon I am working from says “Domain copy.sites2.” Does that have a bearing on anything?

How to lock bottom control bar from auto-hiding in full screen mode

I am using Flash Player with ie in Win7. It is very irritating while watching YouTube videos for the status/control lbar to keep auto-hiding. When the bar auto-hides, the pause/play position becomes the progress bar position - and a click where Pause used to be resets the video to start. How can I keep the bottom control bar from auto-hiding in full screen mode?
Thank you, Steve [email: [email protected]]

There's nothing you can do to Flash Player, itself, to prevent this from happening. Apparently, there's no way to disable via youtube, or google, either -- http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/_E5yFvNJCPk
You SHOULD be able to call up the bar by hovering the cursor at the bottom of the screen and then, after a a second or two, click on the pause button. (It shouldn't restart the video in other words.) But, if for whatever reason, this doesn't work, just click once in the center of the screen to pause the video. To restart, click the center of the screen again.

Podcast app no longer auto-plays next episode. Is this a setting that I can change?

After updating to iOS6 and downloading the app update, the the next episode in the "unplayed episode" list no longer auto-plays. I really liked that feature and would like to be able to turn it on again. Any one know if there is a setting and where it is? I've tried to find it to no avail. Thanks!

Anyone has a solution for this ?
I like to listen to podcasts in my car. But my favorite podcasts last 4-6 minutes and the iPhone is in the glovebox
Needless to say I had to stop listening to podcasts since the podcast App took over the music app.

Play and plause button and control bar are missing belw xfinity player

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

when watching video, can not see play and pause button and control bar, it is missing below xfinity player.

Ok BE...I took you advice and used a prebuilt skin, but tweeked it to get it looking how I wanted. However, now when I switch between the different videos, the playhead stays at the spot that it previously was. For example, if the playhead is currently 50% through video #1 and I click video #2, the playhead is still sitting at 50%. How would I reset the playhead to the beginning of the new video?
import fl.video.*;
var flvPlayer:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
addChild(flvPlayer);
flvPlayer.skin = "MySkin.swf";
flvPlayer.skinAutoHide = true;
flvPlayer.skinFadeTime = 300;
flvPlayer.x=78;
flvPlayer.y=89;
flvPlayer.width=640;
flvPlayer.height=360;
flvPlayer.source = "flv/Video1.f4v";
vid1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSetSource1);
function fl_ClickToSetSource1(event:MouseEvent):void
flvPlayer.source = "flv/Video1.f4v";
vid2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSetSource2);
function fl_ClickToSetSource2(event:MouseEvent):void
flvPlayer.source = "flv/Video2.f4v";
I know I need to do something in the setSource function, but don't know how.
Thanks.

Need to set to kiosk mode/(auto play)

In a simple DVDSP project, please tell me how to set a movie to just start playing when the user puts the disc into their Win/or Mac computer - and hopefully, in an average set top player as well. I looked through the manual and it refers to kiosk mode and first play, and says it can be done - but I couldn't figure it out...If anyone could walk me through it, that would be a lifesaver! I'm in DVDSP3.
It's just a single movie file, about 5 mins. that I'd like to start playing when inserted...no menu or "play movie" buttons to click on are required.
many thanks!
Any help appreciated - I find the DVDSP manual complicated, and am still a beginner.
Dual 1.25 GHz PM/G4 Mac OS X (10.3.8)

I suggest that you use Search in DVD SP's Help to find "First Play". This will tell you how to set a Track to First Play (so that it will play immediately the DVD is inserted).
My DVD SP (version 3) begins:
"To assign the First Play element in the Outline tab, do one of the following:
Control-click the disc element, then choose the First Play element from the shortcut
menu’s First Play submenu. This method ....."
In fact, on my system, a simple click on the background of the DVD SP window that appears at top left of the screen, (with its Graphical Tab active) will reveal the Disc Inspector at the right of the screen and you can set the First Play field to the Track that you want to be First Played.
(Then, if you want, you could select that Track, again in the top left window, so that its Inspector opens on the right of your screen. At the top is a field called "End Jump". Set this to the name of that track, so that it will start playing again when it reaches the end.)
What I don't know is how the user can interrupt the First Play Track so that he/she can get to the main menu so that he can access the rest of the DVD. Perhaps someone else can help here. I would like to know.

My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the secone set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the firsat set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the second set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the first set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

Thanks again V.K. I did check the layout, and it was listed as alphabet when I inputted the password. So that doesn't seems to the the issue.
Just finished a truly mystifying experiment, but I put in a shorter password in the way mentioned earlier and it worked. I then systematically kept increasing the characters of that password and it seems that if the password starts to exceed about 16, it stops recognizing it. I am fairly sure it is not the password itself since it never gives an error when typing in the verification password. So unless I systematically make the exact mistake twice at the setup screen, and then don't or make a different mistake every time at the login screen, I don't think its my typing skill.
So problem solved for now, but I am still a bit worried. Maybe I should completely reinstall and use a shorter password.
Is there supposed to be a length limit?

Facebook iOS App - Video Auto-Play Interrupts Airplay Stream

Has anyone else noticed that since Facebook implemented video auto-play that if you are on wi-fi, have the FB app open, and are streaming over Airplay, that when the app encounters a video and plays, the Airplay stream drops, requiring you to restart Airplay manually?
I am guessing this was an unintended result of Facebook implementing this feature, but it's annoying. The only workarounds that I'm aware of are to change the FB app setting to only allow videos to play over wi-fi and then shutting off wi-fi on the phone, or just simply using one iDevice just for streaming and another for checking the app, but it is darned inconvenient. I reported this to FB as a bug, but I doubt that they will reverse their decision about it, unless Apple tells FB to change this.
Can Apple require Facebook to add the ability to turn off auto-play completely in the app, since the app's behavior is technically interfering with an Apple-specific system service (Airplay) in iOS?

Just as an addendum: the behavior of the FB app technically violates Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for managing audio interruptions:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/ mobilehig/Sound.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH44-SW1
Specifically, the app does not display audio controls when the video plays, nor does it resume the existing audio stream (the Airplay stream) when the video finishes: "If your app doesn’t display any media playback controls that people can use to play or pause audio, your app should always resume previously playing audio when an audio interruption ends, regardless of whether the Should Resume flag is present."
I'm surprised that Apple didn't enforce this guideline when FB submitted the app.

QT no control bar

I have a third party shooting a training video for a website I'm doing.
I have the relevant parameter of my embedded file:
<param name="controller" value="true" />
but never see a control bar (Play, Pause, Stop, FF etc) beneath the video when it plays on the page.
My videographer says he can output to/save as Quicktime but sees no place to save with any appropriate values so that I can turn the control bars on.
Am I right or is he?
TIA

Got it!
Thanks, Yes - I now have play/pause on the left of a nice slim bar and FF/Rew on the right.
Presumably I can only slide to 'Rewind'?
So he was right and I was wrong - there is no setting at his end?
Your help much appreciated

Including a photo when Auto Play not clicked (Preferences Start/End)

Captivate 8, Windows 7.
I've included a photo to show behind the PLAY button when Auto Play is not checked. I've used this before in previous Captivate versions with great success. But now when I publish it, the photo shows up as an ugly red background. What happened to the photo? Are there photo limitations for this action?

If the photo was a PNG it could be that the transparency setting in the graphic is causing the red background. Try a JPG instead.
