Show image with advanced action

I want to show an image using using an advanced action from a question slide
I have inserted the image on the master slide because its a tick. And the question slides are in a pool.
Is there anyway to show this image? When I click show in advanced actions I get a list of images but none have the names assigned. They show img1, img2, img3 etc
thanks for looking and help
EDIT- I think my main problem is that none of the images have the names that they were assigned. Why?

In order to use Advanced Actions to show or hide objects such as images you need to be able to reference the Item Name of the object. Objects on Master Slides do not have Item Names, so you cannot show or hide them that way. You need to place the objects on the slides themselves, give them a unique Item Name that helps you to find them in lists (e.g. change from img2 to img_Fred), set their Visible in Output to OFF, and then you can potentially use Advanced Actions to SHOW the images.
However, your next issue will be that on Question Slides you only have a few events you can use to trigger Advanced Actions. You can trigger an action via the On Slide Enter event of the slide, but that only applies BEFORE the user has answered the question correctly or incorrectly. The On Success and On Last Attempt events are the other events you can use and these fire AFTER the user has answered the question, but only AFTER the learner has clicked for the second time to quit the Feedback Captions on that slide.

Captivate 8 responsive project with advanced action to show/hide interaction

I'm finding that responsive projects in captivate 8 don't properly show interactions upon show/hide. Is anyone else having this issue and knows how to fix it?
I've tried to not group items together but the interaction still doesn't appear.
I've tried placing the show hide information into an advanced action instead (actually my project requires this) and it doesn't work, nor does it work like in the screenshots below.
I've tried to duplicate this in a non-responsive project and it works which makes me think this is only related to responsive projects.
Thoughts? Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

I believe the problem is still present in Captivate but I've read a post on these forums that went some way to explaining what is happening and a possible workaround. The issue is in the method that Captivate writes HTML5 and the order in which it displays elements on the canvas. I had a quick look to try and locate the post but without any luck. The person who posted it did give instructions on how to resolved the issue 'relatively' simply by modifying the HTML5 code once you had published the files. I did say 'relatively' simple because this solution does require some knowledge of HTML5.
Sorry that I could not be of much more help and I do hope that my recollection of this possible solution is correct.

Image with URL action in a table

Hi,
it is possible to assign a hyperlink to an image so o click an window with the given URL will open. How can I do this with an image wihtin a table. I assign the same URL action but the image is not clickable although the table is set to selectable and editable. Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
You can define an Image control uppon a Grid that has Resutls (with URL action as you did ).
If your grid with no results the Image won't be clickable.
Another importent thing for you to notice is the image scale-mode (make sure that it's on Original-size/ fit to scale).
- if you still having problem regardring this issue, please replay with your Visual-Composer version.
Thanks,
Kobi.

Problem with advanced action and a counter.

Hi!
I got a problem on a project with a counter and advanced action.
I got 7 words (3 wrongs and 4 rights), each associate with captions that shows on click
When the students had clicked on the 4 rights (and their captions are shown), the 3 wrongs captions are shown.
variable:
v_count
on wrong words:
simple action: on click, show captions
on good ones:
advanced conditional actions:
1) IF 1=1, THEN show > caption and v_count = v_count + 1
2) IF v_count=4, THEN show> all captions of the wrongs
The problem is: (Only when seen in browser) when I click on 3 rights (and not 4), all captions are shown! I have tried to put v_count=5, but then nothing happens.
Really, I'm lost! Have an idea of what could cause that problem?
Thanks

You already posted this question, thought I asked you if I could have access to your file, because with this explanation only it is a bit difficult to answer. But I cannot find the thread anymore...
Maybe I'm wrong, or you did not see this answer?

Face needs a name shows images with no un-named faces

I've upgraded from Aperture 2 to 3, and imported all my iPhoto '09 images. I've been through and removed dupicates and named all the faces in my library.
However, the smart album included with Aperture 3 with the default settings "Needs a Name" is showing a number of images with no faces in.
Now I'm used to this happening in iPhoto, so checked for faulty face detection. As you can see from the enclosed screenshot, there are no un-named faces (or objects) detected. (I am in naming mode, the screenshot did not caputre the HUD).
I've tried the Dectect Missing Faces menu item (nothing found). I've tried adding a manual face and removed it. Nothing.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any idea how I can get rid of these faceless images?
All the best
Daniel

It's not that faces doesn't work at all - I can see, name and get suggested faces with the library as it is - so I don't see what I'm going to prove by creating a new library.
I wanted to be sure that Aperture is working correctly, if the library has no issues.
You suggest my faces database might be broken - what does that imply - is no repair possible?
You have tried the built-in repair options - repair library, rebuild library. If you have enough disk space you could try to rebuild the library by importing it into a new library. Add some images with faces to it, before you import your old library. This will recreate the library and the Faces database. I cannot guarantee that this will solve the trouble, however. When I had a similar problem, only manually repairing the library package by replacing the "Faces" database inside from the backup did help, but you have added too many faces since the last working backup to go this way.

Captivate 7 - Copying slides with Advanced Actions

Hello,
I have a number of slides that I want to copy and paste into a new project. Many of these slides have click to display type advanced interactions. When I copy and paste the slides into a new project, the advanced interactions don't seem to copy over. Does anybody know how to copy and paste slides into a new project along with the advanced interactions so that I don't have to recreate variables and interactions? I tried following Adobe Captivate Help, but got lost.
Thanks!

Rod, you're a lifesaver! I figured out the update part and the advanced actions look like they all work. You just saved me about a thousands hours worth of work. Thanks

What would be best - a quiz or buttons with advanced actions?

I have just got hold of Captivate 7 and am learning how to use it. I have been given a project which I think would work well with captivate but am not sure what would be the best thing to use. On a webpage before people submit a form do do with ethics, they will need to answer a few questions to see if completing the subsequent form is the best approach or if they should actually instead go to other committees or need to see websites or other resources.
So they will get simple questions such as, e.g. 'does your research involve x?' If the answer is yes they would then need to go to a different website or access a link to a resource (say a PDF) if they answer no, they would be prompted to answer the next question and so on until either finally being prompted to submit the form or by answering yes at any time go to other websites or access resources. There would be a total of maybe eight questions.
So for something like this, would a quiz be the best approach or would show/hide buttons be best?
If a quiz is best, would I only need to create a Captivate project with one page with a series of questions or would it better with a page for each question? I have not yet created a quiz so am not sure how best to do this and how the actions actually work and what space is required on each page of the project.

It is up to you, but personally I would not use question slides for this kind of 'questions'. Reason is that you have lot of branching to do, and need a lot of control. This is not a normal quiz. You do not need scoring, do you need to report something?
And if you choose for question slides: only one question per slide possible.

Why is color management enabled (all, not just tagged) firefox showing images with higher black level than other color managed programs?

Using Win 7 and spyder calibrated (lut based) display. image editing programs show lower black level than firefox. Firefox images are too light.

Ehkä ensimmäisenä asiana on että sen saa pois päältä: https://addons.mozilla.org/fi/firefox/addon/color-management/
Sen jälkeen tämä näyttäisi olevan sama ongelma kuin täällä: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3569891
Tämä näyttäisi olevan ongelma, jota on vaikea toisintaa (siis kenen tahansa, jolla kalibrointi toimii). Vai olenko väärässä? Jos ongelmaa ei pysty toisintamaan, sitä ei ikävä kyllä ole myöskään mahdollista ratkaista.

My Samsung monitor won't show image with G5??

HAD a 2004 G5 with the ADC (or ACD?) card and Apple Display and everything worked fine when using a VGA to DVI connector and connected my small Samsung monitor. I could do dual monitor. Now I sold the G5 and bought a late 2005 model with the normal DVI connections on the card and when I used the VGA to DVI connector, I get a black screen from the Samsung. Im lost as to why it would do this? I connected to a nice Samsung with DVI and it worked, but I don't understand why It wont work on my first Samsung via VGA to DVI? Help!

thanks

Making a load of A4 scans of an A3 poster into an A3 image with batch action.

Hi again, I'm on CS4
I have a load of A3 art posters that I've needed to scan.
I've used an A4 scanner to scan 2 segments of the A3 posters making sure that segments are overlapping.
There are many posters.
Is there anyway I could go about making an automatic batch action and photoshop would automatically line the two scans up and join them together?
A step by step would be much appreciated.

Can't save/update advanced action with specific slide set to jump to

Using version 6. Experienced with Advanced Actions, but no clue what's causing this. If I include a "Jump to Slide" pointing at a certain slide in the project the action will not save or update. I can point at any other slide except the one I need. Nothing especially unique about the slide in question.

When you save/update, does it give any error/prompt?
Try creating a fresh script just with the action to jump to 'that' slide.
Also check from a regular button, if you can set on Success to jump to the particular slide.
Thanks,

Create a button with an advanced action to start a video and associated text on the timeline.

I need help. I have a video on a slide that I want to start only when the learner clicks a Play Video button. When that button is clicked, the video should start and the associated text captions with their timings should start then as well. Is this possible with advanced actions? If so, can anybody help me with those actions?
The slide would work like this:
Upon entry to the slide, narration is playing, and a text box appears on the screen. It tells them to "click the play video button to begin". Nothing should happen until they click the play video button.
When they click the button, the advanced action would start the video, and the associated text boxes appear as each "step" in the video goes by. It's a procedure with step by step instructions.

You are very correct. I am making it too complicated! I believe I will do exactly what you said. If I still want to have a button that says Play Video, I could just have that button advance to the next slide. The learner will probably not even know they are on a different slide. Thanks for making me see that clearly. Sometimes I get too caught up in trying to do something one way. Thanks for the help!

Advanced actions not working in project preview or publish

I have a project with advanced actions which work fine in single slide preview but which don't work at all in project preview or when I publish. To make it even worse a slide on the same project I did earlier works ok when previewed. Very confused! Any suggestions? I have used the force publish option and all the timelines look the same as the successful slide as far as I can see so I have no idea.

Hi Lilybiri,
sorry for the delay in replying, I've been tied up elsewhere. I'm using CP7. My advanced action is simply meant to show one image after another on click of a button. It works perfectly for the first instance and then doesn't for the next two. The only difference between the slides is that the latter two have the images stacked on top of each other whereas the first slide has the images placed separately on the slide. This is the advanced action for the first slide:
The decisions just refer to the images. And this is the timeline:
Compared to one of the slides that doesn't work (no images appear)
where again the decisions are just referrring to showing images, and the timeline for this slide:
As I said they both look the same to me apart from the layering of images on the second slide. Any help much appreciated!

Books on Captivate Advanced Actions

Does anyone know about any books that are available for Captivate advanced actions? Other than the books by IconLogic.

Hi Melinda
Thanks so much for the information. I'm on a constant quest to determine where to focus my efforts. Unfortunately, I have so many different irons in the fire it's very difficult to get everything I WANT to get done actually done.
I asked because it's helpful for me to know what folks are looking for.
Your post is expecially interesting to me at this time because I concluded facilitating a Captivate class yesterday. I used the Iconlogic books for the class and I have to say that I totally skip the section where Advanced Actions are presented. Not that I didn't cover them, but that what is presented in the book seems too far removed for me. While the example certainly shows creating an Advanced Action, I really cannot see an everyday application for what was presented.
So what I do is to veer off on my own path and use some real world examples that are likely to be asked for. I say this because I've seen others ask for them here in the forums, so I'm guessing they are commonly desired actions.
For example, I worked the class through Hiding the playback controls for Question slides. Then through automatically enabling the Closed Captioning area when playback begins. Then we worked through hiding and showing some images on a slide using Click Boxes. From there, we worked through keeping the user from being able to move from the slide until all interactions had been successfully dealt with.
What seemed odd to me was that while that section often overwhelms some users, once we concluded with it, some of the class participants asked if they could see some "more complex" actions. I was stunned!
Anyhoo, thanks for the feedback! Rick
