Solution to buttons only being used once?

Howdy.
I've been using Captivate 4 for several E-Learning type (10 x 50page) modules recently and have hit a rather hefty wall of frustration.
- I have several interactive sections within a Captivate module and several slides have clickable areas and text entry boxes in them.
- I have a very basic navigation image button sitting at the bottom right hand corner of the screen for 'next slide'
(and for the most part this is all thats needed)
- However, there are several slides where multiple actions must take place to proceed to the next slide, and I would like the users to 'scan' through these steps if they wanted by using the button sitting at the bottom right hand corner. Unfortunatley I have found that if I have the image button set to 'Continue' it will proceed to the need action, text-entry, click box etc (which is what I want) but the button can only be used once, meaning they can't 'Continue' passed and onto the next interaction, but the next slide (Not what I want) and therefore skipping several steps.
Is this 'one-time only' button usage a normal function ? (or one that can be altered ?)
Skipping through several steps smoothly on the one slide via image button would be Extremely helpful to this module! It seems that placing many copies of the same button at each interval might have been a solution, but it wasn't (and also an extreme pain in the A.)
Has anyone had solutions to a similar issue ? (the best I could come up with was 'Going Home')
I get the feeling there is a simple solution hiding around the corner (please prove me right!)
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi there
In addition to what Lilybiri offered, here is another thought.
All interactive objects such as Click Boxes, Buttons, Text Entry Boxes and Question Slides will normally Pause playback until the end user interacts with them. Then they normally follow whatever action has been assigned to them.
I might suggest setting the pause point very late in the slide time for your button. Either that or configure it so it isn't even available to be clicked until after the user has interacted with the last element. Then make the Button available. Before then you could insert a dimmed or "grayed out" button in its place as an image to indicate it's there, but not active.
Cheers... Rick

Condition type PR00 can only be used once

Hi Experts,
Im faced with a strange problem. Request your help in resolving it.
I tried to create my own pricing procedure by copying from RVAA01. Then i deleted all the steps and created my own steps. But when im trying to save the document, it says PR00 can only be used once. I deleted this condition type and tried to save it, it again says K004 can only be used once. Even after deleting all the earlier conditions which i copied from RVAA01, why am i getting this error.
Your help is most appreciated.
Warm regards,
Sarat.

You have deleted a row (i.e. condition type, say PR00).
After that click icon "Save".
Then when you create condition type PR00, system shall accept it.
Currently, you are deleting a condition type (PR00) but it is still "in memory" of the pricing procedure. You can not create the same condition type more than once in a pricing procedure. Therefore you can not create PR00 again & you are getting the error message.
First remove PR00 from the memory of the pricing procedure by clicking "Save", & then you can re-enter the same cond type.

Alternatives can only be used once?

Hi
In the Adobe form when creating an alternative I've discovered that it can only be used once.
Is this correct?
I've created an alternative e.g. name = FLAG_IS_X condition flag = X.
When I use the alternative 'FLAG_IS_X' the first time it works as required.
However, when I use it a second time on the form it does not work at all.
Does this mean that a different alternative with the same condition has to be created even though the condition you want to use is the same?
Thanks

Hey,
Well I stumble it seems on the same 'issue' . I have 3 master pages and have the requirement to put a watermark on it depending on the status. The first master is in portrait and contains the contact details, the second master page contains the line items and is in landscape and the third one contains the totals and is back portrait.
First I had only one alternative and used it on the 3 masterpage to check if the watermark had to be printed. In this case it was only correct for the first page (contact-info) the rest all received the mark although they should not.
Then I made 3 altenatives (one for each type of master page) all checking the same condition.
This way it was correct for page 1 (contacts), the first page of the items (the two others had the watermark although they should not - so not correct) and the last page with the totals.
In my case the contacts-page and totals-page can only have a page-count of 1 but I'm almost sure that if they could have a page count of 2 or more then only the first page would be correctly printed.
Is this a bug you think?
Faaiez,
Did you find in the end a workaround for this?
Otto.
Any suggestion of how I could handle this with scripting (no experience with scripting though)
Anyway tnx already for all the input !!

Material can only be use once on Purchase order

Dear SAPfans,
can we set the material only be use once in purchase order and cannot use for the second time in one plant?

hi Nizam,
If I am not wrong then you mean to say in 1 PO for one plant material should be entered once only
like say you have plant A and plant B and Material XYZ so in po material should be entered as
XYZ         Plant A
XYZ         Plant B
and it should not happen like
XYZ         Plant A
XYZ         Plant B
XYZ         Plant A
XYZ         Plant B
right????
As far as i know this is not possible we can not restrict this

Survey portlets that can only be used once

All, I would like to create a survey portlet (or use an existing one) to do the following:
1) A user could define the criteria of the survey through a simple interface (i.e. data form)
2) The end user would see the survey on their default home page (this part is pretty simple).
3) Once the user responds to the survey, the survey portlet is replaced on the users home page by the results of the survey and the user can no longer respond to the survey (enforce a "respond-once" policy).
Questions: Does a portlet like this already exist? If so, where can I find it? If not, what is the easiest solution for creating this type of functionality?
Thanks,
Jon.

Hello, Not sure if this functionality already exists or not, but what you can try doing is this.
1. create a group with all users who are to take the survey
2. set permissions on the survey portlet to only allow people in this group to take the survey
3. With the assumption that you're dumping this data to a database table, create a trigger that will remove the user from the group when the user does a submit. (you can get the current user using portal.wwctx_api.get_user in the trigger). I can not think of it right now, but there are api's which you can call to remove a user from a group.
I hope this helps.

Mercury playback software only being used

Hi Guys
I'm using Windows7 64bit with a Nvidia Quadro FX 3800 card and have had the card since CS5. That side of things has been fine. Since the update to PrCC2014 I now get a warning message on loading a new project: "this project was last used with mercury playback engine GPU acceleration, which is not available on this system Mercury Playback Software only will be used." It's like it's been turned off.
Can anyone advise me why this is happening now and point me to a solution to the issue?
Regards,
Graham

Hi Jeff
A belated thanks for your response (I've been away on business for a couple of weeks). The problem was only in CC 2014; if I opened my project in PrCC, CUDA was functioning. The trouble is I can't access all the new features of course in the last version.
I actually got in touch with Adobe support as I had the same problem with my Laptop (a Quadro K3000M card). They had problems remotely trying out various things and spent a couple of hours trying to solve the issue. It was something to do with the set-up sequence when Pr loads that was not able to verify all the steps with the Nvidia cards. They said they'd get back to me before I went away (needless to say I'm still waiting to hear...)
Bizarrely I launched Pr on both machines today and CUDA is functioning; why, I don't know. I won't complain because I can get on with things, but I hope it's not going to be a case of sometimes it works and sometimes it don't in CC 2014...

Graham

CRS Install hostname being used by more than once for the same node.

Hi, we're installing The Oracle Clusterware and on the Cluster Configuration screen of the universal Installer (the one were you specify the clustername and clusternodes) we get the following error message in a dialog box when the next button is clicked:
"You must enter unique values for the public node name, the private node name and the virtual hostname for all nodes in the cluster. The name, node1, that you entered is being used by more than once for the same node."
Has anyone experienced this error message before and know what the cause is?
Could it be a problem with the /etc/hosts file?
Thanks in advance,
M

Make sure you allocate separate IP addresses on your network for the VIP addresses on each RAC node (this is not the same as the machine IP already configured on the OS).
Also, the installer may complain if your private and public IPs are configured under the same subnet.
Finally, as mentioned before, check that name resolution for all the IPs to be used. On all RAC nodes, your /etc/hosts file should be configured with:
- public name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
- private name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
- VIP name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
Hope that helps

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

Hi Kglad.
I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
here is the new tutorial for CC - my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

Java script button only works once?

I am a novice with JavaScript, but Edge Animate seems like it might be a tool that I can work with. I have created pages using symbols with simple in/out slide animations using JavaScript. They are triggered on the buttons with the following code:
sym.stop(4000);
var current = sym.getVariable("current");
if (current != "") {
sym.getSymbol(current).play("out");
sym.getSymbol("testimPg").play("in");
sym.setVariable("current", "testimPg");
The stage action for compositionready is this;
sym.setVariable("current", "baseAnim");
every page works fine except my testimonial page (testimPg)
The animations work fine for all the other buttons but on the testimonial page it only fire correctly once!?
If you click on other pages and then go back to the testimonial button, it no longer functions properly —the symbol is no longer visible when the testimonial button is clicked!?
Can anybody figure out why this is happening.
here is a link to the page:

Thanks for the reply kglad. I've deleted all the button layers in every scenes and created a button layer from frame 1 until the last frame, but I still got this output here that I don't really understand what it means.

Button only works once?

relatively new to flash, using pro 8 right now. I created a
movie where there are movie clips that contain buttons. using the
following actionscript, the button takes me to the frame labeled
"Button1"
on (release){
_root.gotoAndStop("Button1");
but... it only does it once... after that you can click on it
all day and nothing happens. There are stops at the end of the
movie clips and the main timeline so only the specific animation I
want to loop are looping. I only mention this ebcause I have no
clue why the button won't work over and over again. thoughts,
suggestons, hatemail?

well, it's evolved now... the thing is, I have added multiple
movie clips which contain buttons... you can click on these buttons
which are all supposed to take you to that specified frame label.
they work. click the first one, it takes you to the first frame
label, click the second one, it takes you to the second frame
label. and if you click the first one again (after clicking the
second one) it does indeed take you back to the first frame label.
so.. my question now is, that it seems that the buttons will
allow me to go to the frame label... but not reload the same frame
label they are already on. Is this working as AS2 was designed to
do?

A700: 8gb of memory installed, only 4gb are being used

The a700 that I purchased from lenovo.com was the top model (40244JU) in the a700 series and came with 8gb of memory installed. The os system screen properly shows the 8gb of memory installed. The bios screen shows only 4gb of memory installed, thus only 4gb are being used by the computer. Please tell me how to update the bios since there do not seem to be any bios updates for the a700 on lenovo.com.
Thank you.

Iphone 4 keeps restarting every 3 min but only when being used

Iphone 4 keeps restarting every 3 min but only when being used, it doesn't matter what I do with it, it has to restart itself during usage, it's so annoying. I have restored but still no luck, currently trying to update the software once I've finished downloading it but I know it will keep restarting when connected to itunes.
Anyways when I do decided to bring it to the apple store would I need to bring the receipt with me?
because i dont have it anymore only the phone, box charger and usb
thanks

Anyways when I do decided to bring it to the apple store would I need to bring the receipt with me?
No. The warranty is tied to the device, not the individual & all iphone 4's are still under warranty.
