Show and Hide Actions Not Working

I'm working on a project that involves showing and hiding objects.  I inserted a button and in the Action block for the object, I selected 'Show', then selected the object I wanted to be shown on click. When I preview that screen in the project and select the button to show the object, it shows the object, but then advances the project to the next screen. The only way I've found to combat this apparent flaw is to use an advanced action for what should be a really simple interaction. Also, I have the timing set for all objects on the screen in question to Display for the rest of the slide. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Have a look at: Why choose Standard over Simple action? - Captivate blog
As Rick points out, Captivate has always worked that way. And since you are talking about Hide/Show, very often you'll want to hide a group before showing one object. If  you are using Captivate 7/8 I recommend to create a shared action for that purpose that you can use over and over again in that project and in other projects.

  • Actions and Advanced Actions not working correctly. - Captivate 8

    In our project, we have it set so that after every section the student is asked three quiz questions (they are set on the default quiz slides.) On success, the person jumps to the next question slide. On failure, the person goes to next slide which has two buttons - one that allows them to simply move forward to the next quiz question and one that allows them to go back and review. The "Go back and Review" button takes the person back to the specific content slide that contains the answer to the question they are being asked. This button is set to advanced actions "Jump to Slide ..." and "Show Button..." - The button is a 'Return to Quiz' button to allows the person to find the answer then try the question again.  I know that the buttons on the default quiz slides cannot be programmed to do a specific action, but every time we click 'Submit' it seems fine until we click 'Next' to move ahead, it then routes us back to one of the content slides (Slide 7) instead of the next slide (if wrong), or the next question slide (if right). I have looked at the Advanced Interactions Window and there is nothing linking this slide to anything. I have not had this problem with any of our other modules or sections. I have tried creating new question slides and it did not work. I deleted Slide 7 and it worked fine the first time through the preview, but then when I viewed the preview again, it started jumping back and would not even let me get to the questions. Can anyone help?

    Normally the Next button on a question slide is not needed, because it has the functionality of Skipping the question. It is however needed if you want to allow Review.
    Another explanation is that you did change the normal work flow for a question slide, where a two-step process for submitting will take automatically the user to the next slide.
    Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
    What did you do to need the Next button? If the user submits:
    Feedback appears with the indication to press Y or to click on the slide, happens at the pausing point of the Question slide (default is 1.5secs)
    When user presses Y or clicks, the actions Success/Last Attempt are executed if all attempts are exhausted, and you have only 1 attempt on Question level: the actions are by default Continue, but you can change it to 'Go to Next Slide' to shorten the waiting time (or drag the pausing point closer to the end of the slide).
    What did you change?

  • Quick Picks and Dynamic Actions not working

    I have a page item that includes Quick Pick values. This item also includes a dynamic action to update another item when triggered by a change event. The problem is, quick picks do not trigger change events. Has anyone else seen this and come up with a solution? Thanks.

    Hi,
    the JavaScript code generated for the Quick Picks is using $s which triggers the change event for the target page item.
    I just tried that out and it worked fine for me.
    1) I have defined a text field with a few quick pick values.
    2) Declared a dynamic action which fires on "Change". No condition set
    3) The action is defined as "Alert"
    The alert always shows when I pick a value with a quick pick.
    Can you put an example on apex.oracle.com so that I can have a look.
    Regards

  • Show/hide bahavior not working in firefox or safari

    Here is my problem. The show hide behavior incorporated in DW
    CS3 is working fine in IE6 and 7 but not working at all in firefox
    and safari (both latest version). I have tried it on different
    event but nothing.
    My web site is configured that if someone click on details, a
    layer will become visible and the details will be showed. I know
    there is a work around and the simplest would be to have a new
    window open but this is not the style I want.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    my iphone 4 fell down from 3 feet height and display is not working now, phone is functioning with calls and messages etc.. except no display please advise me a corrective action...

  • I HAVE AN IPHONE 4 I TURNED IT OFF AND NOW I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WILL NOT WORK ONLY SHOW THE APPLE ICO

    Can anyone help me how to make my iphone 4 work I turned it off and now I turned it back on and it does not work it only shows the APPLE icon on the screen it has being like that for past 9 hours.... HELP PLEASE

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself. Usually takes less than 15 seconds of holding both buttons.
    If you decide your iPhone is not working properly, and you decide to Restore your iPhone Firmware then do this. Open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

  • I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

    Question:-
    I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
    Answer:-
    For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
    Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here  and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
    (I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
    NOTES:-
    The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
    This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
    The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
    MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
    @mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
    The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

    Question:-
    So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name.  It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message.  What do I do next ?
    Answer:-
    Open iChat
    Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
    Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
    If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
    Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat  (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
    Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
    If you have a Blue Globe name  (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
    Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
    Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
    Then change the password in iChat as details above.
    Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
    Open iChat if not launched.
    Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    Click the Add ( + )  Button at the bottom of the list.
    Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
    Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
    Add in the password.  (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
    Click Done.
    The Buddy List should open (New Window)
    The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
    You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
    You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

    It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
    This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?
    Otherwise you will need to contact Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com/ and click on 'iTunes' in the center column and then 'iTunes Store' in the right-hand column and proceed from there.

    I had another idea that I am pursuing. I am looking into extending the current renderer CommandNavigationRenderer and will render another goLink just after the current goLink that will execute a close action. I was able to re-direct the rendering by added an override render-kit block in my current faces-config.xml file.
    <render-kit>
    <renderer>
    <component-family>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.Command</component-family>
    <renderer-type>oracle.adf.rich.NavigationItem</renderer-type>
    <renderer-class>com.riscs.ui.backing.jsp.components.ClosableCommandNavigationItemRenderer</renderer-class>
    </renderer>
    </render-kit>
    If this works I am planning on extending the commandNavigationItem by creating a ClosableCommandNavigation tag and add a "closeAction" tag that will determine if a close item should render.
    Preliminary work looks promising. I will update if I make progress...please let me know if I am crazy.
    Thanks.

  • Buttons with page actions not working

    Hi,
    I have a folio with buttons that have actions such as "Go to Page", "Go to First Page" and "Go to Last Page".
    I could export this folio with Folio Builder to the server and I could view it in my tablet with no problems.
    However, today (August 30th) I exported the folio again and it's not working. All other overlays are working fine, but buttons with page actions just show their Click appearance and go back to normal.
    My friend also teels me of this problem.
    What happened?
    My Content Viewer in my iPad is updated and I have made the last Folio Builder upgrade.
    Sincerely,
    Jean

    There was a bug in which these previously supported button actions (Go to Page and Go to First/Last Page) no longer worked, but I thought that bug had been fixed. Let me check on that. In the meantime, the workaround is to use the "navto://" format to jump to a different page within the same document. Use the "navto://articlename#n" format. The first page is 0, so #1 jumps to page 2. For details, go here:

    Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
    In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
    I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

  • Spotlight and Find does not work in 10.4.7 and Macbook Pro

    I have this strange problem of the Find and the Spotlight not working properly. Whenever I pass on a word to search it doesnot give me the full list. e.g In desktop I have file UserValidator.java and in the Find window I give options: Name Contains "Validator". The list that it is showing is not having the .java file.
    I am getting crazy what is happening. Has anybody faced with this problem.
    Thanks,

    Perhaps it's an Invisible item?
    In Find, select Other
    It opens a 'search attribute' window, in that scroll to and select 'Visibility' (4th from bottom)
    Check 'Add to Favorites' then OK
    Then select 'Visibility' and on the right button 'Visible or Invisible'
