Software demo with next buttons and auto-mouse actions is confusing to viewers
Hi,
I created presentation tools for my co-workers to do a road show type thing of our software. On some slides, they must click a next button to advance, but not on others- this is intentional. However, we got the feedback that users find it confusing to see two cursors- the auto-play one and the one for the computer the presenter is using (if that makes sense?)
I suggested using a different cursor for the demos, but what they would really prefer is that they could advance the demo through a keyboard action instead of clicking that next button (but I assume the next button would still be there, right?)
Does anyone know if this is possible with Captivate 3?
Thanks,
Dee
Hi Dee
You are able to turn off the mouse cursor if you want. This would perhaps eliminate the confusion. You could use a Click Box instead of a Button if you wanted to pause the slide. You may also configure either a Click Box or a Button with a Keyboard shortcut the user would press to move on.
Cheers... Rick

Problems with .ARW files and auto toning
problems with .ARW files and auto toning
let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
allow me to explain
lets say I import 100 images
i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
thanks for the helpsorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
i've disabled it now
thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place. -
Gallery with Paypal buttons and drop-downs on the index page?
I'm looking for a LR gallery where I can have thumbnails with Paypal buttons and drop-downs on the index page.
I would prefer to keep my galleries interface streamlined and don't want to clutter it up with dropdowns and cart. I would like to have 1 page for ordering that has all my images as thumbnails with drop downs for price and size, rather than right-clicking on and image which opens in another page like the LRG Gallery with Paypal.
I don't have a lot of experience messing with code, and none with .js. I did make a drop down in Paypal and have the code, but I think things would be pretty unwield it I designed a page as a table like I would in MS Word.
I'm familiar with LRG Complete gallery, but don't see that it has the ability to not require a right click to order.
I don't have a lot of experience messing with code, and none with .js. I did make a drop down in Paypal and have the code, but I think things would be pretty unwield it I designed a page as a table like I would in MS Word.

Thanks,
ReidMaybe some could try this out, and has experienced the same problem.
It is on the site http://www.fonetix.biz
and then push the German flag in the top Right corner, and further click on the Button "Contact info". It will give the eroor. -
I was online earlier this week and liked the forms with submit buttons and the Adobe site directed me to upgrade to Adobe PRO XI in order to use forms so I bought five licenses. Just had it installed today and it is now asking me to sign up for forms Central in order to use this feature. What gives? The Adobe site gave me the impression that I would have this feature after purchasing the new upgrade. I would not have purchased the upgrade, let alone five of them had I know this. Am I missing something?
Acrobat XI comes with the Fromscentral AIR application and the ability to create PDF forms authored in Formscentral. To have more than the free (1 form with 50 responses) level account you need to sign up for a Formscentral subscription.

AutairHi Lionalx,
I've tried to follow your tip but I got a page that contains the following message : "This directory contains some helper apps and scripts for setting
up Microsoft Access, SQL Server, or Sybase databases to use with
the examples in examples/Table. For details see the online
documentation in:
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/swingdoc-current/db.html". Just it. So I've copied the indicadet address but it's redirect to main page of 'swing'. I was there before.
Despite of this error, I'm finding some interesting tips in the address that you indicated. OK?
Thanks.
If you have something new or tip please write me

i dropped my macbook pro off my couch and when it landed it was shut, i opened it and it was on a grey sceen so i shut it down with the button and when i turned it back on it was kind of slow but not so much anymore. i quit all of my applications before i shut down and i noticed that when there are no more things t quit and i click "hide finder" its not grey anymore it still gives me the option to hide it when i dont need to, little things bug me and i just got this laptop, i just want to know if i should be worried
I suggest you immediately make a backup of your data. You don't know if or when the computer will show some symptoms from the drop. You may want to, for piece of mind, take the computer to an authorised service center for assessment. No one here can assess any internal damage you may have done.

My lockscreen did not showing me time and it lags, help PLS!
it´s only black background with unlock button and it lags when i unlocking it
pls helpIt's not an Apple issue and Apple has nothing to do with it.
The only way to buy an iPhone officially refurbished by Apple is to buy it from an Apple store or via Apple's website.
Refurbished iPhones sold via other retailers are not refurbished by Apple.
Sounds like Wireless Wave did all they could... they refunded your money.
Your only issue is with them. Stop getting all worked up over it. -
Can I create a single captivate 7 software demo with captions and have multiple languages versions
First Timer here; we are a small but global company and we would like to create training videos for our worldwide customers. What we want is to create a video once with English captions and then use the exact same video over and over but changing the language to German, Spanish, French and more each time we save it.
Example: we create a video demonstrating how to perform a specific task and save it in English. Then, before we close this "English" file, we would like to save it in German, then save it again in French, etc. The idea is not to have to open the software and repeat the "click-by-click" action for each language; just perform the software navigation once but somehow change the language displayed in the caption balloons for each language.
Thank you for any assistance,
dennyHi there
Certainly you will be able to click File > Save As and save as all the different languages.
After you do that, you need to open each respective file and click File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions. This action should create a Microsoft Word document that may then be opened and translated. Then it's saved back and you click File > Import > Project Captions and Closed Captions to change the verbiage to the desired language.

How to make a photo slideshow with next button
Is it possible to make a photo slideshow for a dvd that will use the next button to go forward to the next photo? Can I import a video from another dvd and include it in the same dvd on which I put the photo slideshow? They might fit: 220 mb of photos and the video dvd is 2.6 gb
Hi arthurav42
Welcome to apple discussions. First thing to mention is that iDvd doesn't look at MB's or file sizes (excluding the dvd-rom section of the dvd). Rather, it looks at QT playback in hours and minutes. We call this total run time and it is not to exceed 2 hours / 120 minutes for a SL Dvd-R (and about twice that for DL).
As to your first question, Is it possible to make a photo slideshow for a dvd that will use the next button to go forward to the next photo? The direct answer is not within iDvd. You'd need apple's pro apps FCS/DVDSP in order to add a next button to individual photos contained within a manual slideshow.
However, one may be able to simulate this feature in iDvd with the use of a graphics app like Adobe PS in which one could add an arrow to any given jpeg / photo. It wouldn't highlight the button itself after it's selected on a remote / clicked but it would move directly to the next image once a person clicks on it (or anywhere else on the image for that matter).
As for the second question, Can I import a video from another dvd and include it in the same dvd on which I put the photo slideshow? ..... Again the answer is yes within DVDSP and not directly within iDvd (you'd need a third party app like DVDXDV from which one can convert to a QT file for use within any of the i-apps or pro apps for that matter like DVDSP). Once converted, simply add the movie to the slideshow feature in iDvd. And yes it's possible to add both photos and movies to the slideshow in iDvd. For example:

How to create popup window with radio buttons and a input field
Hi Guys,
Can somebody give some directions to create a stand alone program to create a window popup with 2 radio button and an input field for getting text value. I need to update the text value in a custom table.
I will call this stand alone program from an user exit.
Please give me the guidance how go about it or please give any tutorial you have.
Thanks,
MiniHi,
There are multiple aspects of your requirements. So let's take them one at a time.
You can achieve it in the report program or you can use a combination of the both along.
You can create a standalone report program using the ABAP Editor (SE38). In the report program you can call the SAP Module pool program by CALL Screen <screen number>. And then in the module pool program you an create a subscreen and can handle the window popup with 2 radio button and an input field for getting the text.
For help - Module Pool programs you can search in ABAP Editor with DEMODYNPRO* and you will ge the entire demo code for all dialog related code.
For Report and other Module pool help you can have a look at the following:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/a1ff9b8d0c0986e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more details.

Problem with "Next Page" And "Zoom" in CrystalReportViewer With VS 2010
Hello,
i am using crystal report v 13 sp1 with visual studio 2010,
As mebtioned, the next page and the zoom is not working in my report, whiwh has as data source "Stored Procedure"
This is my code, and i think it's correct, i was using this code in previous versions of crystal report (cr10) and it worked fine,
When i used the Data set , the next page and zoom worked fine, but with stored procedure it doesn't work,
Note: when i open the Tree of Data on the left, then click on the next page or the zoom, it become funtional, it's very weird,
protected void *Page_Init*(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (!IsPostBack)
reportDocument = (ReportDocument)this.Page.Session ["_reportDocument"];
if (reportDocument != null)
string rptFile = reportDocument.FileName.Split('
', '/').Last();
LoadReportRessource(reportDocument);
TableLogOnInfo log = new TableLogOnInfo();
ConnectionStringSettings conn = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0]; //la premiere connectionstring
SqlConnectionStringBuilder SConn = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(conn.ConnectionString);
log.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = SConn.DataSource;
log.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = SConn.InitialCatalog;
log.ConnectionInfo.UserID = SConn.UserID;
log.ConnectionInfo.Password = SConn.Password;
log.ConnectionInfo.Type = ConnectionInfoType.SQL;
for (int i = 0; i < reportDocument.Database.Tables.Count; i++)
reportDocument.Database.Tables.ApplyLogOnInfo(log);
for (int i = 0; i < CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Count; i++)
CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = log.ConnectionInfo;
CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = (ParameterFields)this.Page.Session ["_paramFields"];
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument;
CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind();
CrystalReportViewer1.ShowFirstPage();
else
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = (ReportDocument)this.Page.Session ["_reportDocument"] ;

Sorry, but i donno what do you mean by "what is the App Pool running in 32 or 64 bit?",
i am running the application locally, ( the IIS is installed locally ),
as i told you, my OS is 64bit,
And yes i tried a very simple report, with just one field , and the "next button" is also not working,
Its only not working with stored procedure, in the others methods ( push or pull method is working fine)
i think its a problem in refreshing page, because when i open the tree on the left, then click on next page or zoom, its works fine
@Ludek:
i changed my code as below, and it doesn't solve my problem:
ReportDocument reportDocument;
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (!IsPostBack)
reportDocument = (ReportDocument)this.Page.Session["_reportDocument"];
if (reportDocument != null)
string rptFile = reportDocument.FileName.Split('
', '/').Last();
TableLogOnInfo log = new TableLogOnInfo();
ConnectionStringSettings conn = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0];
SqlConnectionStringBuilder SConn = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(conn.ConnectionString);
log.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = SConn.DataSource;
log.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = SConn.InitialCatalog;
log.ConnectionInfo.UserID = SConn.UserID;
log.ConnectionInfo.Password = SConn.Password;
log.ConnectionInfo.Type = ConnectionInfoType.SQL;
for (int i = 0; i < reportDocument.Database.Tables.Count; i++)
reportDocument.Database.Tables<i>.ApplyLogOnInfo(log);
this.Page.Session["_reportDocument"] = reportDocument;
CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = (ParameterFields)this.Page.Session["_paramFields"];
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument;
CrystalReportViewer1.ShowFirstPage();
else
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = this.Page.Session["_reportDocument"];

I do presentations in PP10. I am new to macair, and used to Windows. HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"? I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back. The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box. I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC. How do I do it with the Mac????
Thanks
hacmdHi Rod,
As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.
