Start position of slider-object (pan)

Hi,
I'm using a horizontal box (with 1000 px, height 100 px) where I pasted an object in and made it slideable with Overlay Creator using 'pan'. The object inside it has the same height but hase a bigger width so it acts like a slider-bar a little bit like a volume-slider (without this function ofcourse).
My question: is there a way to give it a starting position so it starts at say the middle of this container box? If in a volume slider this would be at 50% volume - just as an example. I tried aligning it, can't find the right solution.
Hope someone has a idea about it! Thanks in advance.
Kind regards, G.

Ah, it's a good question, but the answer is no. It seems all images in a pan are automatically aligned to the top left hand corner.
Which is also the reason we can't have a pullout tab sitting on the left hand side of a page.
Maybe one day!

  • Positioning quiz slide objects

    I am working on a Captivate 5 project with many quiz slides. The quiz slides were put into the project by someone else. I need to move the various quiz slide objects (submit button, back button, clear button, question text, review area, hint caption, and so forth).
    These objects need to be moved to the same position in all of the quiz slides. I've been moving these objects into place one by one and it is very tedious.
    Is there a way to set up a style to move all of these objects on all quiz slides at once?

    Each of the objects you mention on the quiz slide are a special type of object in Captivate.
    So although Object Styles do not allow you to specify the X and Y coordinates of an object, you CAN just move one of these objects on one slide to the location you want them all to be, and then go to the Position and Size accordion in the Properties tab (Transform accordion in Cp5.5), look for the small dropdown in the top right corner of the accordion, and choose the option to Apply to all items.
    The name is a bit misleading because it make you think this will actually apply the positioning setting to every item in the project.  But the fact is that it will only apply it to items OF THE SAME OBJECT TYPE. So although you would never do this for something like text captions in the main part of your project, you can safely do it for things like Submit, Clear, Back, and Next buttons in quiz slides because each of them are actually totally different object types as far as Captivate is concerned.
    Note also the option to Apply to all items of same style.  This means you can create custom styles and apply them to just certain buttons or captions if you only wanted SOME items to be positioned in a certain way, while all other items should retain their original positions.

  • Reset mouse start position

    I'm working on a project where the content is information,
    screen capture, more info, another capture etc.
    The problem I'm having is the mouse is starting on the 2nd
    capture where it finished on the first capture.
    Is there any way of breaking the mouse chain, so that it
    starts again in the centre?

    Hi there trinitybay9
    Yep. Just duplicate the slide where the mouse stopped just
    before you wish to reposition it. Remove all objects but the mouse.
    Place the mouse at the new desired starting point. Now adjust the
    timing of both the mouse and the slide for .1 seconds.
    The net result should be that the mouse pops to the new start
    position so quickly the user doesn't notice it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Curser start position

    How do i get the curser to be in the txt box i want it to be in the beginning...
    also is there a way i can chose which txt box it goes to when i hit tab and i hate it when
    i hit tab and it goes to the bottom play and pause buttons... can i stop that?  thanks.. Im new 

    Hi there
    For the mouse, you may only adjust the starting position on the first slide where it appears. Every slide after that uses the stop position of the slide before as the start position for that slide. If you need to adjust it, duplicate the slide and remove all objects except the mouse. Change the mouse to the new desired starting point and adjust the mouse and the slide so the play time is super brief. Perhaps .1 seconds.
    As for the tabbing, you may need to insert a Click Box that doesn't do anything if it is clicked. This would then receive the tab focus and keep it from the playback controls. Or, you could visit fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst's site linked below and download a gizmo that will remove the highlight.

    If you like what Paul has to offer, drop some change in his tip jar and he will open the door to all his magickal goodies!

  • Keynote 6.5 Loses Ability to Keep Master Slide Objects Static for Object Transitions

    A gripe that I'm hoping many of you are as infuriated with as me – and hopefully maybe someone can point out something I am not seeing.
    In past versions of Keynote 6:
    Premise:
    An object is placed on a Master Slide (not a placeholder)
    That master is applied to slides.
    An Object Transition (Cube, Revolve, Pop, Push, Flip, Zoom Perspective) is applied to that slide (which is followed by a slide with the same master)
    Result:
    Only objects not on the master slide would animate during the transition leading to a premium feeling transition.
    Keynote 6.5
    Premise:
    Same as above
    Result:
    All objects animate, including non placeholder Master Slide objects resulting in "too much" happening on screen.
    As a presentation designer who makes a living on Keynote, this is a huge step back. I used to trick Keynote 5.3 into getting the effect that I wanted by taking screenshots of a blank slide and then making that screen shot the background of a slide. It was a time suck, often somewhat pixelated, a huge addition to file size (especially for templating), and cumbersome to make small changes like adjusting position of logos.
    Apple... I hope one of your engineers are reading this and creates a fix for this in the near future.

  • Cap 8 - Increasing Slide Height Distorts Slide Objects

    Hi everyone,
    I'm building a responsive project in Cap 8, and need to adjust the slide height on a number of slides to include scrolling. When I break the link and increase the pixel height, all of the slide objects resize larger in height and width. This includes the text in the objects, etc... every aspect of the slide objects resizes.
    I have tried every imaginable combination of object positioning and size options to no avail. I did see a previous posting related to this (Responsive Slide Height Expands all objects on Master Slide Background.), but the developer was only concerned with slide masters. I did test the solution and it works, but using only slide masters is not a solution for me. The type of project I am developing requires discrete buttons/actions on every single slide. In addition, only Smart Shape buttons on masters will work on the filmstrip slides (as I understand it). I need to use image buttons in some cases.
    Is this distortion expected behavior I am going to have to work around? If not, any guidance on how to make my objects stick to their positions and sizes on filmstrip slides when increasing the slide height is greatly appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Robbin

    Hello,
    Really hoping for some insight on this one as it's a showstopper... has anyone seen this behavior? And if so, any solution/workaround?
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to float Master Slide objects above all slide content?

    I would like to have text on my master slide to always show above content on each individual slides?
    I just started using Keynote, so I'm kind of a beginner, although I've know how to do this in something like inDesign. Obviously Keynote is not a design layout app, but it should at least have some of these basic features, especially since it seems it would be easy to implement.
    Thanks in advance to all the Keynote pros out there.

    Ah! I didn't see when you originally posted, but, no, there's no way to have Master slide object in "front" of the other stuff. I even tried it with a media placeholder and still, no-go. Be sure to send your feature request to Apple by way of this page.

  • Importing Slides/Object

    Hi
    I am attempting to import slides from 1 project to another. I potentially have up to 70 slides that I may want to import. When I use the File>Import>Slides/Objects function in Captivate 4, the slides imports, however the preferences on objects such asthe buttons does not stay the same as the original slide. For example one button in the original project was programmed for On success  'Jump to slide' - when it is imported this changes to Continue. Is there anyway to import this so that it retains the original preferences for a successful click.
    Peter

    Hello,
    Indeed, you'll have to recreate the 'jump to slide' actions.
    Or if it is still possible: instead of importing 70 slides, why do you not start with a copy of the original, so you'll have the correct 'jump' actions. Delete what you do not need and add additional slides. Since you are talking about 70 slides, it cannot be that many slides to be added; it is not recommended to have CP-files with much more slides.
    Another possibility: daisy chain two files.

  • HT5093 How do I manually set the start position.

    The 3d program do not support it (Google Sketchup Free).
    Can I open the dae file in another program and set the start position there?

    1) How do I in iBooks Author set the camera position manually.
    The documentation says: "be sure to add a camera to your object. This will be used for the default view in your iBooks Author book."
    default indicate that there are other options in the iBooks Author program.
    If this is not the case:
    2) What is the prefered program for createing 3d model with a start camera position.
    2a) More specific how do I do that in the program.
    Note that is is unlikely that any other forum can answer question 2, since this is compatibility specific issue between a 3d program and iBooks Author.

  • Starting Workflow from Generic Object Services

    Hi All.
    We are on ECC6. In transaction MM02 when I excute 'Start Workflow' from Generic Object Services, no workflows are found. Can anyone help me with the following issues;
    1. What is the underlying object in transaction MM02 (I believe it is BUS1001006)
    2. How can i ensure that the proper workflows in this transcation are started through some  
        customisation, enhencement or user-exit.
    Regards.

    I think you have to maintain the Workflow Template as General Task and then only it will appear in the GOS.

  • Specify Starting Position in Sender FCC

    Hi Experts Team,
    I wish to specify the starting position of field in sender FCC.
    can i????
    regards,

    Hi,
    I think positions we can't identify with FCC statements.  fieldfixedlengths itself system will identify automatically.  If column have any specific character indication we can do easily.  Check it according to your requirement.

  • Assning a "position"  (to an object) (e.g. in cm from margin of page)

    Hello,
    I have a pdf-file (which was created from a MS-word.doc).
    On some pages, there is a word and a line (at the top of the page) which I want to copy to all the other pages (and later I want to change the wording slightly, so that there is a different word on each page). I know how to "copy" the object with Tools/Advanced Editing/TouchUpObject and from one page to another, but:
    The PROBLEM: I want to have the words on exactly the same place(=position) on every page (e.g. in centimeters from top margin and left margin of the page). So my question: Can I somehow find out the "position" of the object (e.g. in centimeters from margins of page) and then assign this position to the other object(s). Is this possible?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    I don't think you can focus on static objects (static text, static images).
    I think the down and dirty workaround is your best option. Maybe make the button very small (0.01in) and you can always place a static image (icon) over it to mask the button.

  • Set Start Position to Calculate Travel Time in Calendars

    Hi All,
    I am quite impressed with the new traveling time feature in Calendars, however I cannot seem to get the best out of it.
    Is there a way to reset the start position for the calculations, I am thinking about the following senario;
    Three appointments in the same day Appointment one calculates OK but appointment two calculates the start from the office and not the location of appointment one. Same thing happens with appointment three.
    What I want to do is set the first appointment, calculate travelling time, set the second and calculate the traveling time from appointment one and then the same with appointment three.
    The only way I have found to do this is to jump back and forward between calendar and maps and manually calculate like I used to do before this update.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    This solved my questionRe: Calendar Travel Time Starting from Work when I want to Start from Home Oct 23, 2013 8:43 PM (in response to theglenlivet12)
    From Calendar's help:
    To set your starting location, Calendar first looks for your location in any events that are up to three hours before this event. If Calendar doesn’t find a location, it uses your work address during work hours and your home address during other hours. (Your work hours are set in Calendar preferences using the “Day starts at” and “Day ends at” menus.) If your card in Contacts doesn’t have your addresses, Calendar uses your computer’s current location.

  • Start position follows playback

    I am new to waveburner (and logic). I am looking for a way to set waveburner so when the transport is stopped, the cursor (start position) returns to the previous start position. In other words, you can start and stop playback repeatedly and the playback always begins from the same location.
    The default behavior is having the start position follow the cursor during playback. I would like to change this...
    Is this possible?
    I know this is an option in both cubase and protools...
    Thanks!
    Zak Cohen - The Woodshop Studio
    www.woodshoprecording.com

    Hi Zak:
    You can probably accomplish this by setting up a loop in Waveburner. (Do a search for Looping Playback in the WaveBurner manual). Loops can, according to the manual, be set up as follows:
    To define a cycle area
    In either time ruler, drag from the desired loop start position to the point where you want
    looping to end.
    Drag either of the cycle area handles to resize an existing cycle area.
    You can also grab the center of the cycle area to move it, without changing the cycle
    length.
    That said, this used to work for me, but no longer does. I am going to post a message to that effect and find out if anyone has a solution.

Maybe you are looking for
