Slides Paused - Never Mind

Got my answer from another post.
I have several slides that pause before the action is
finished (mouse movements). If I scrub the timeline or play it back
in the edit window, everything is fine. When I Preview or Publish
the slides pause. The only way to go to the next slide is to click
the Forward control button. I am missing some very important
clicks. Any ideas as to what would cause this behavior and how to
fix it?

Cap5: Slide Pauses for audio

Hello,
I have a 25-second slide with 25 seconds of audio on it. On exit, the slide is to jump to the previous slide.
Also on this slide, I have several buttons, all of which last for 3 seconds. The idea is that the audio should play, the buttons disappear after 3 seconds, and at the end of the audio (and hence the slide), the project continues by going back to the previous slide.
But that's not what is happening. Instead, the whole slide pauses while the audio plays. So, although the full audio plays, the buttons do not disappear and the slide doesn't follow the assigned exit behavior. It just sits there when the audio is done. I have double-checked to make sure all the buttons disappear so nothing is causing the pause. Could the audio itself be causing the pause?
Just a bit more info. Here is a picture of my timeline. If I select "Preview this slide," it plays properly, but not if I preview the whole project. Advice is appreciated!
JR

It's hard to tell from the screenshot, but it looks like your buttons are set to "pause after ___ seconds." You can tell because a line appears in the button on the timeline when this is the case. When the button will continue, there is no line.
Example:
It seems like the slide is waiting for some sort of action on the button in order to continue (or in your case, to "end" and therefore return to the slide you have set to "exit.")
It makes sense that it would work properly when you preview the slide because the buttons never pause during playback on the workspace. If you select "preview 5 slides" it will probably pause. So just make sure that "Pause after ____" is deselected and the buttons should continue.
Hope that helps!

Never mind

If you use security roles in web.xml to define a certain page as only accessible to user x and the result of the jsp code
request.getRemoteUser()is x will he/she be authenticated?
edit: never mind, I found the answer

It's in the manual & you need to learn how to use that feature so I recommend getting used to reading the manual.

Never mind the color where's the text

Could they make this text any smaller? I'm on a HD monitor and this grey text on a gray background is AWFUL and it must be, what 4 points!!. It's giving me a sore head trying to read it never mind learn it.

Would you mind defining "HD" in this matter?
My previous monitor was running at 1680x1050 - HD (if you compare to PAL) - and the text was very small, pushed together and very blurred - hard to read in other words.
When I got my 24" Eizo which is running at 1920x1200 - everything got better. I'm about 60-80cm away from the screen, and have no trouble reading the text, even the smallest ones.
I'd suggest you get your eyes checked, or get a new monitor with better resolution.

RTMP video repeating (playing twice) while Captivate Slide paused. Anyone else seen this ?

I have a project that is published as SCORM 1.2 with a bunch of RTMP videos served from CloudFront. I tend to set the Slide duration to 5 secs and the Buffer value to 3Secs and choose Auto-Play, Auto-Rewind Display for Rest of Slde, and select "Pause slide till end of video". These settings typically have worked fine but recently some of the videos are repeating (playing twice) while Captivate Slide paused. I've tried all sorts of combinations but it seems intermittent. I thought of not pausing the Slide and setting the slide duration to the video duration plus a little extra but am a little worried that if there is buffering that the Captivate presentation will go ahead before the video finishes. Could anyone shed any light ?
Fergal

yes, they are SWF 8 files, and i see them separately after i
publish from captivate...is there a way to force them to embed (if
thats better)? it seems like it kind of randomly decides which it
wants to do.
also, i do have the source files and i'll try that blank
frame and let you know if that fixes anything. thanks!

Awful Java applet performance -- never mind, being handled in a different thread

Awful Java applet performance -- never mind, being handled in a different thread.

Here's some more info that may be of use ... The Applet is signed and this particular problem only occurs with Safari. It has not been seen as of yet when using Firefox. And it definitey does not occur on Windows platforms with IE or Firefox. It's been observed across multiple versions of the applet and appears to have become an issue around the time of Leopard 10.5.6/Safari 3.2.1. I don't know if it has anything to do with the problem, but the html that starts the applet is dynamically generated from javascript. A user clicks a thumbnail image on a web page, the javascript opens a dojo dialog, and within the div that contains the dialog, another div is inserted containing the html that starts the applet. The applet also does a number of liveconnect calls to call javascript methods. When a "close" button is clicked on the Applet, the inverse occurs. The javascript clears the html that contained the applet. The applet's destroy method is called and there are no apparent memory leaks.
The problem never seems to occur the first time the applet is started. It's always on a subsequent instantiation. Frequently, when it occurs, the applet is only partially painted and I sometimes see paint related calls on the stack trace of the awt thread.

Multiple click boxes on one slide; Pausing project

I'm using Captivate 5.5.
I have four click boxes on a slide. Three click boxes upon clicking show an image and then show a success caption. The forth click box shows a success caption but also is set to "pause project until user clicks."
Unfortunately, if any of the three click boxes are clicked it advances the playhead even though the forth click box was never clicked. How can I pause the project until only the forth click box is activated no matter if the other three click boxes have been previously clicked?

Hello,
Default behavior of click boxes is to trigger the simple action that is assigned to it AND at the same time to release the play head. Even if those 3 click boxes had a pause, at the same moment as the fourth, this would have happened. If you put the pausing point of the fourth click box later than the pausing of the first three, it will work fine if the user clicks only one out of 3 click boxes.
If you replace the simple action by a (eventually one-line) advanced standard action, the play head is not released:

Multi Clickboxes on Single Slide: Pause Movie, Play Audio

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 5. At the end of each module, I have a slide with several clickboxes on them. Ideally I want the audio to continue play (9 seconds) while users can click on each option multiple times (except for the one that jumps them to a different slide). In some cases, as below, I want a text box to appear, which I've set up using Advanced Actions.
Currently I have all the clickboxes with "Continue Playing This Project" de-selected. I also have "Pause project until the user clicks" de-selected for all of them.
All the clickboxes appear at the beginning of the slide and continue until the end.
There is a hidden clickbox that ideally should pause the project at the end of the slide until they click the Forward button. For that one, I have selected the option "Pause project until the user clicks" and have the pause time set up at the end of the audio.
Right now, if a user tries to listen to all of the audio, and clicks, the project continues to the next slide after the first click. If the user begins to click before the audio is complete, then the audio stops and the project pauses.
I have already tried the following:
If I select "Continue Playing This Project", the audio plays fine, but the project moves to the next slide after the first click.
If I try to stagger the clickboxes on the timeline and select "Pause project until the user clicks" for each clickbox, the project, and therefore audio, stops at the end time of each clickbox. The user then has to click the Play button.
If I stagger them on the timeline, and de-select "Pause until the user clicks", they are disabled too soon, and the user can't click on them multiple times.
Can I make this happen?

You won't be able to get this to work as you wish just by using the default Actions available in the dropdown lists. Except for the button which is supposed to advance the movie, you need all the other ones to continue in a paused state while the user clicks around.
To achieve this you'll need to create an Advanced Action for each of your buttons or clickboxes and select this action as what the button executes when clicked. In each advanced action, have the first statement do what you originally wanted, and then add a second statement that assigns the value of the system variable rdcmndGotoFrame with rdinfoCurrentFrame as shown below:
This should ensure that your movie remains paused on the same frame when the advanced action is executed.
There are lots of tutorials on doing this kind of thing with Advanced Actions on Lillybiri's blog: http://lilybiri.posterous.com/
And I also highly recommend Rick's Gooberguides on Advanced Actions.

How do I make the slide "pause" when there are multiple buttons present?

I'm creating a selection slide that will allow the user to click button 1, 2, 3 or 4 to jump to the first slide of a topic group or to click button 5 to exit. The slide should just "stop" until any of the buttons are clicked. Unfortunately, the slide ALWAYS goes to the jump for button 1 without waiting for any action.
I've tried adding an invisible click box and an invisible text field with no success.
What am I missing or doing incorrectly?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi there
Yep, I can click the image and it scales back up.
You need to look at the properties for your button objects. I can easily see on the timeline that you have apparently cleared the pause point for each of them. If they had a pause point, they might look like this:

Advanced Action jumps Quiz slide pause point

Hello,
I have a project I have asked questions about in a previous discussion but as this is a new difficulty so I have started a new discussion.
The project in made up of only quiz slides and on each quiz slide there are:
1 - 4 text boxes that are controlled by advanced actions with ss set as buttons....this part is working great.
the quiz ...standard stuff
and audio ...not working
I created 2 groups and 1 ss set to function as a button. Group 1 has an arrow and says "Play Audio" Group 2 has a square and says "Stop Audio". On the first slide the action works great...just as I would like it to work. After answering the question you then continue to the next slide and the audio works for three clicks...click to play, click to stop and then if you click again the slide jumps the pause point on the question slide and none of the buttons work on the slide at all. It does not make a difference if you start the project form the beginning or from the middle, the problem is still the same. The first slide works just as it should and the second slide jumps the pause point and you are shut down and can not continue. I am not able to click the submit, answer the question...nothing. Any insight would be very much appreciated as once again, I am stuck. I am not sure if the problem is caused by the fact that it is a quiz slide and there is something about the quiz slide itself that is causing the problem. Or ... more likely, I am just missing something.
Thank you.
This is what the buttons look like.

Advanced Actions and Groups, this was so helpful!

You didn't watch the other video? It was about playing audio as well...Have also a long blog post about possible scenarios to play/pause audio. It is different, because it is about a real pause, not about replaying an audio clip as in your example:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/toggle-shape-buttons
Question slides are a different beast, you have always to be very careful there. I blogged about buttons on question slides:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/want-a-button-on-question-slide-in-captivate
The question slide objects have highest priority. I should explore this more in depth, but my intuition tells me that perhaps clicking on your shape button triggers the action that is performed as second step on the Question slide (press Y or click on the slide). Does it happen before of after the user clicks the Submit button?

Slide pause until mouse rollover

I want to create an interactive slide that instructs a
student to move his/her mouse to a specific area on the screen. In
doing so, the presentation will continue. I can only perform this
with a keystroke or a mouse click presently.
Any suggestions??

Hi, I hope all is well for you. I have upgraded to Captivate 5 (which I love). I tried the widget you suggested here and it did not pause the slide. Have you tested this on Captivate 5? Is there something specific I need to do? (Tried pause_rollover_play_nextframe.swf and pause_rollover_play.swf)
Also realized that when I transfered my Captivate 4 files to Captivate 5 this doesn't work anymore

Quiz Slide Pausing Issue

I'll do my best to explain my situation. I just got Captivate 8, and am just getting comfortable with the environment. But for the life of me, I can't figure out why my quiz slides are pausing at the end and not continuing to the next slide. I am using master slides, and custom navigation buttons. My intention is to not include the built in playback controls, as I wanted to have my navigation stylized and placed a bit differently. I do have Playback controls enabled currently, to help me troubleshoot the issue. My Back and Refresh buttons work fine, but whenever I click the Next button (set to the Continue Action), it will complete the current slide, but pause somewhere in the transition. The only way to continue at this point is to press Play in the Playback controls. I've tried making this button a master slide button (by using a smart shape, and selecting Use As Button) and I've tried putting the button on each individual slide, but the problem seems to be the same (or similar) no matter what.
Thanks in advance, and feel free to nag me for more details.

Well, this is what I get for being an idiot. You made me realize that there was something silly I was overlooking. I had a button in the Master Slide that was set for the Exit action. I guess that action automatically has a pause at the end of it in the timeframe, so it adds an extra, unwanted pause if included on the Master. I removed it and placed it on each individual slide, and it's working fine now. But for the record, In Captivate 7 I was just using a blank master, and (stupidly) copying every element that should have been templatized onto each slide... I'm not the greatest self-learner.
Thanks a million for pointing me in the right direction.

First slide pausing, without click box to initiate pause.

The fist slide of my project is a title page, that as of recently, has been pausing the entire video.
There are no click boxes or other objects in the slide (that I know of) that would initiate the pause. What's weird is, if I close Captivate, reopen the project and then preview the video the first slide does not pause and properly transitions into the second slide, however, if I preview for a second time the first slide will pause the video. I tried placing a blank slide in front of the first slide, deleting the first slide entirely and recreating from scratch but the same issues occurs.
Please, let me know what I can do to fix this issue.

Are there any advanced actions either on this slide or pointing to this slide?

Error 1704 While Installing iTunes (never mind, I fixed it)

Edit: OMG, I fixed my own problem! I used the Windows Install Clean Up utility to FINALLY install iTunes 6. YAY Thanks, B, for your help in the past.
Hi,
I've have been having the WORST time with installing iTunes. I was on this board a couple months ago, and B was helping me out. I got really busy with school, and I haven't been back since, so all my old posts have been deleted. Here's all the info on this problem -
I have downloaded iTunesSetup several times from Apple's web site. The installation runs fine until I get to the part where it says, "Removing registry values." Each and every time, which has been about 30 or so times now, my computer has a fatal error, and I have to restart it. I can never finish the installation process.
Here is what comes up on the blue screen -
STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x805815B2, 0xF3674BAC, 0x00000000)
Here is what comes up in the Event Log -
Application Error in Event Log -

I hope someone can tell me where to go from here. I just updated windows. I've run Adaware. I've even tried downloading and running a utility that is supposed to get rid of Error1704, but none of these things have helped.
Please help, someone!
Thanks a lot!
