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.

How to set up slider mobile menu widget on master and pages of mobile website in Muse

Adobe Muse Slider Mobile Menu Widget by MuseThemes
I am new to mobile website design and Muse, I love this widget, but I am not sure how to set it up on multiple pages.
Do I put it on the master? Content covers it when it is on master, so I could use some help.
Thanks so much, anyone know of tutorials or can anyone give me a game plan to set up. thanks so very much!

Thanks, my issue was that the content was in front of the navigation menu see screen shot (taken in preview in Muse)

Youtube channel slider not working in Win or MAC

Seen here on our client site http://www.hutchbiz.com/
It is the third set in the page slider. When viewed in Safari on either a windows based computer or a MAC the youtube breaks out of the slider and all 7 video's span across the web page broken.
It only happens in Safari. It works perfectly fine in Chrome, Firefox and IE.
I'm out of ideas here. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you to all in advance.

Hello Nitin and Sreekanth, Thanks for your suggestions and sorry for my delayed response. (I'm working on this project part-time.)
I have tried embedding the YouTube clip on a new slide (not one with the link on it). Actually, I was going to remove that link on the original slide once the embedded clip was up & running. (We had to check our copyright policy first, which is why we started off with the link.) Adding the interaction on a new slide made no difference; it didn't work.
I have also tried changing the timing. Actually, it was originally set to 'rest of slide' but I changed it to 'duration of animation' when the clip didn't work. Either way, it doesn't work. I have also tried checking 'synchronize with project'. I don't really know what that entails but it was worth a go. Again, no luck.
I'm adding some more screenshots FYI. The first is the dialogue box that appears when you first open the YouTube interaction widget. I clicked the 'Test' button on the right and the clip launched in the browser so at least that works! But there's something incompatible with my slides. I wonder if I am the only one to have had this problem.
Cheers, J.

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

Is there anyway to publish each slide build in Captivate 5.5 to a word doc with slide notes?

I am looking for a way to print out my slides in a word document so that my copy editor can not only read my slide notes, but also view what is on my slide making sure there are not any errors. When I build my slides, I stack images up with things fading in and out enabling me to record audio for only one slide as opposed to each build. However when I publish to the handouts, my copy editor receives a slide with a lot of things built up on it and she can not see everthing that is on the slide (only what's on top). Does anyone have any advice or information they can give me relating to publising to handouts or storyboarding so that each slide build is seen?
Thank you in advance! I appreciate any help on this!

Captivate's handouts work in much the same way as PPT handouts. If you had a lot of objects and animation on a single PPT slide it wouldn't look much different to a Captivate slide.
One good thing about Captivate though is that if you hide objects on the timeline for a given slide, the way that slide looks in Edit mode is pretty much what it will look like in the Handout doc graphic. With judicious hiding of extraneous objects your slide printout won't look too bad. The reviewers should at this stage mostly be just looking at the voiceover script anyway. The NEXT stage of the review cycle would be to check the animation and syncing with the approved voiceover.
There's no way you can give your reviewer a Word doc straight out of Captivate that will show how you've animated the objects (fade ins and fade outs or effects etc). If it's essential tey see this in action then consider sending them a PDF output from the project with TTS speech from the voiceover script and objects roughly synced to the TTS. I don't see any point wasting too much time on getting everything synced perfectly at this stage because reviewers are just as likely to change a lot of the voiceover and render a lot of work useless. But some reviewers have no imagination and can't get an idea of how the elearning will turn out until they see it almost finished. Managers are the most likely to be like this. And the higher up in management they are, the less imagination they have.

Slider not working around 50% of the time.

Hello,
Slider not working around 50% of the time when I get a call. I hit the sleep button and home button several times and then it works.
I've done the soft reset several times. I've restored settings completely 2 times.
the screen is clean, my hands are clean, the wifi is off, the phone has not been dropped, it only happens when receiving a call and never happens when I'm just turing it on to access the menu. Bluetooth is off as well.
Any ideas?

this happened to me a week or so after buying my iPhone. Fixed it with a reboot... Simul holding home and on/off until apple appears on the screen . Been working for axweek ok now.

Multiple text boxes on slide not advancing properly

First let me say that this is my very first post - ever - anywhere. I don't even know if I'm 'posting' correctly, so please forgive me if I'm doing this wrong. I am brand new to Captivate (1 week), but am already under a work deadline to produce a CBL. I have built a very simple CBL and it works fine except for 1 problem. My CBL moves forward on its own, but if the user decides to click the 'forward' button on the navigation bar, it advances to the next slide instead of displaying the next text box within the current slide. I want to keep the navigation bar for those who read more quickly than others, this way they can advance the CBL at their own pace. For example, I have a slide with 3 text boxes. Each text box needs to be read in order. The first box appears and after so many seconds the first box disappears and the second box appears. Then the second box stays for so many seconds and disappears and the third box appears for so many seconds and then it advances to the next slide. However, after it's published, the first box appears and if you click the 'forward' button then it goes to the next slide (not the second text box on the current slide). I know there must be an easy solution to this and if I had the time to read more tutorials before my deadline, I'm sure it's listed in one of them. I would appreciate any help you can give me and again, I apologize if I've posted this in the wrong section or did not post this correctly. Thanks so much!

Hello,
Welcome on the forum.
The Next button on the playbar will always go to the next slide (or the previous slide for the Previous button).
If you really want a simple solution: put only one Text Caption per slide, time the slide for the duration of reading that Text Caption. To simulate your present situation, if you have 3 Text captions, put the first one on slide 1, copy it to slide 2 and add the second Text caption, etc. The 'quick' readers can use the button on the playbar to advance but they will be able to see all the Text Captions. Do hope this explanation makes sense: you are really splitting up your unique slide with 3 Text Captions in 3 slides.

Working with slide notes as audio script

In Captivate v4 if you had more than a few lines of notes that you were to use as your script, you could "detach" the notes and expand the screen prior to starting your audio recording in order to see on one page all notes from which you based your audio.
I have yet to start any major recording in Captivate v5.5, but from what I see so far - the above option does not exist. It looks as if you get a scroll bar which you must use to see your script once you get to the bottom of the initial available notes screen.
Are there any workarounds ?
I would much prefer to see the full script from the start and not have to scroll down during my recording - with the added risk of my mike picking up the mouse clicks.
Noel

If you want to use the Slide Notes panel detached, you can just grab it by the tab and drag it off as a floating panel. However, when you open the Slide Audio dialog, you'll find that the Slide Notes panel cannot be made to sit on top of it.
My preference is to dock the Slide Notes on the right side of the screen, and just sit the Slide Audio to the left of it so that I can read my voiceover script as well as control the Slide recording.

Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?

Hi,
I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool. The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens. You can't get off the quiz slide. The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
Thanks!
Lori

I was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
I can finally finish this project.
Good luck.

Why can't I see or edit my slide notes?

I'm probably making a silly mistake as a new user of captivate 6. Whether I start a new presentation, or import a PPT which already inclused slide notes, I can't see any notes in captivate. the slide notes box is there but the icons (eg the + incon) are not displyed, and in the windown menu whilst the slide notes option is not greyed out clicking it has no effect - no tisck appears besides it and the slie notes box doesn't change
any ideas??

Hi,
If you Click on -- Slide Notes box under the Window, it does not open the Slide notes pod for you, you workspace might have some problems.
Can you check resetting it --
Try importing that presentation to a New Blank Project and Check Slide Notes-- from Windows.
Note-- Make sure the Slide is in focus (selected) which you go to Slide Notes pod to check the Slide notes for that.
Thanks,

Random question slide not shown when FP 8 or FP 9 output

Hi everyone
I've just begun to use Captivate a month ago, so it is not
that much experience I can contribute with by now.
One thing I have recognized is that I get some problems with
random questions slides made from different question pools when
using Flash Player 8 or 9 in the output otions.
When using Flash Player 7 everything works as supposed: one
random question is shown for every random question slide using one
distinct question pool for each random question slide.
When using one of the two others some of my random question
slides are not shown. There are slides that are played - meaning
that the player shows an empty slide for the time of 3 seconds -
but the content is not shown. This happens only for some of the
random question slides, and those are the same question slides each
time, I publish - but when working or dragging around with the
random question slides and publish again, the problem would come
with some other random question slides, not positioned the same
place as before, but showing the same problem in each published
version.
As written before each question pool is only used once. The
different question slides used in the question pools are all
duplicates, naturally with adjusted content.
Does anyone has experienced something like that before? Could
there be any other trouble with the content when using Flash Player
7 in the output options, like quiz not playing in newly updated
Flash Players ore something like that? Anything?
I appreciate your suggestions or comments! Thanks in advance
and kind regards,
Lars

Some more info - and a working solution...
I have worked on this topic a bit more - and found out, that
I have a problem with output option set to Flash Player 7, too.
When I delete every other navigation option than the "next
question" (what is it called in english?) button, I get this
problem:
The quiz now "freezes" randomly, not every time, but again
and again. The quiz has both random slides from question pools and
simple question slides.
I have found out, that putting the simple question slides
into question pools and then showing a random slide from those
question pools fixes the problem.
Has anyone experienced problems like that? Other solutions?
Kind regards
Lars
Maybe someone has a similar problem.

Icon size slider not always working

Since the installaton of Lion, the icon size slider on the bottom right of a folder containining photos doesn't have any effect on the size of the icons. It seems to work on and off, but I can't figure out what "settings" I am missing.
Does anyone have a clue why the slider works sometimes, and sometimes doesnt?

I reported this back in February and then again last night. My call was escalated to a specialist who connected remotely to my desktop to see the behavior since none of their computers were having that issue. After seeing the slider not working on my machine, he suggested that I create a temporary partition and install a fresh copy of Lion and see if the issue persists. After installing a fresh copy of Lion, I was still having the slider issue and reported back to the specialist via e-mail. I will know more when I hear back from the person tomorrow.
Also, there is another issue with Lion that people haven't mentioned but the Quick Look feature doesn't work all the time. Files wouldn't render and bringing up Quick Look the 2nd time on the same file does render correctly but then if you use the arrow keys to move between other files, the Quick Look doesn't update with the new file that is selected. Additionally, PDF files with multiple pages also doesn't render or it will render the 1st page but the other pades remain blank with the circular loading icon on them.

How to remove all slide notes in a project at once

Hi All,
I've some problem on removing slide note. I recently know how to remove slide note "one by one" method on captivate 8 but if I want to remove all slide notes at once, How can I do?
Anybody know about this?

Hi there,
At present there is no option present in Captivate to delete the all slide notes at once. Please use the below link and file feature request for the same so that we can consider it for the future releases.
