Text Animation Menu doesn't work.

I am new to Captivate. I have a registered Captivate 5 installed. After I started a blank slide and clicked Insert > Text Animation, nothing happened. No dialogue box appeared. Nothing happended at all. Other menues worked normally, though. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Still, after clicking Insert > Text Animation, nothing happened. What went wrong? Please help.
I am running CP5 on a 32-bit Vista Ultimate machine. 1GB of RAM.

Hi all,
My problems have been solved. I put up a case to Adobe and got a sucessful technical support.
There are 5 steps to undertake;
1. uninstall CP5.
2. Delete pcd.db, caps.db, and cache.db (under program files\adobe\... )
3. Create a new user account with Administrator Level permission.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Install CP5.
With those 5 steps, I can see the text animation menu.

DVD menu doesn't work right in DVD players

I've created a DVD in Encore for Mac. It plays fine on my Mac and on Windows. However, once it is inserted into a stand alone DVD player, the menu doesn't work right. I have four text menus. In the DVD player, none of those are navigable. Arrowing up or down doesn't work. You have to click a number on the remote keypad and then play. This also causes "Channel 1" or "Channel 2" and so on to display. Any ideas how I can get the arrow keys to work? I don't have a stand alone dvd player to test against.
Also, in Windows, I have someone that wants to duplicate the dvd. They're using Movie Maker. It gives an error that the codec is not installed but doesn't say which codec. Any ideas on that?

The only time I recall similar problems was the issue Jeff was asking about above (Mac, Encore CS3, certain OS). If you don't solve this otherwise, I'd experiment with that.
You appear to have confirmed that there is button navigation. (In button routing, each button points to another.) Where does it break down?
On the Mac/PC, are you using the mouse? In the computer DVD software player, there should be a "remote" that you can use to see if the button navigation is working. Does the computer "remote" option work? If so, it makes it not working in a standalone player even odder.
If not, then look at whether the project works before you burn to disk. Does the "remote" work in the Encore preview? Or build to a folder, then play the DVD from the folder. (I don't know how on Mac; on PC, I find the first .ifo in the VIDEO_TS folder, and play that.)

110% Trouble,
Welcome to the iWeb Discussions. It appears that your grahic box of the hand is covering your email text and the nav bar is also covered by the Once Upon a Time box. Turn on 'Show Layout' and you'll see the graphic box extending over the email and the same for the nav bar.

Safari menu doesn't work

I have a strange Safari bug... After about a day of using Safari 2.0.4 (the latest stable version), the main Safari menu stops working. I can still pull it down, but selecting anything in it does nothing.
For example, I can pull down the Safari menu and select Quit, but the app doesn't quit. I can pull it down and select Preferences, but no preferences appear.
On the other hand, I can type Cmd-Q and Safari will quit. I can type Cmd-K to toggle pop-up blocking. But selecting any item in the menu doesn't work.
All the other menus work fine. Safari itself also works fine. The application menu in other apps work perfectly.
The problem crops up after about a day or so. If I quit Safari and re-launch, the menu will behave correctly for a while. Then, sometime later, it will stop working. Safari has been doing this for at least a year -- perhaps two.
I have tried trashing Safari's preferences. A Mac Genius suggested installing Safari 3 Beta, then un-installing to restore Safari 2, but that didn't help.
Any ideas?
PowerMac G5 Dual Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This might be worth a try:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
Safari has been doing this for at least a year -- perhaps two.
And you never to question it? I have never seen that behaviour.

Options pulldown menu doesn't work - nothing comes up

options pulldown menu doesn't work - nothing comes up, no matter how long I wait.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''

Text replacements synchronization doesn't work on my Mac

Hello, I cannot make text replacements synchronization work on Yosemite (the same problem was on Mavericks – I hoped, that Yosemite will fix it, but it didn't). The symptoms are:
Synchronization backend work properly: when I add or update shortcuts on my iPad, the change will appear in sqlite database stored in ~/Library/Dictionaries/CoreDataUbiquitySupport/... on my Mac
When I go to Keyboard Preferences → Text, I can see shortcuts synchronized from my iPad there
The shortcuts doesn't work in applications at all (even if they are enabled via Edit menu)
I started to play with brand new user account on my Mac and I was able to make synchronization work. After some investigation I found that shortcuts are automaticaly copied from ~/Library/Dictionaries/CoreDataUbiquitySupport/... to ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist under NSUserDictionaryReplacementItems key on this new account, but on my real account they don't appear there. If I add some shortcut to .GlobalPreferences.plist manualy, it works in applications as expected. So something which is responsible for keeping CoreDataUbiquitySupport and .GlobalPreferences.plist in sync doesn't work, probably. Any ideas, how this can be fixed?
By the way, there is one more issue with shortcuts: add/remove/reset to defaults buttons are missing in Keyboard Preferences → Text.

Try PRAM reset.

Animated GIF doesn't work against dark backgrounds in HTML

I've created an animated GIF in Photoshop, exported it for web with transparency, and placed it in my HTML code. It doesn't work against the dark background on my page. However, when I open the image in a new browser tab, voila, the animation works precisely as it should.
Why is the background affecting the animation and how can I work around this?

Hello Frank,
problem is solved.
I have installed IE7 on a Windows 2003 Server Edition and used remote desktop client to test the application.
It seems that either a setting on W2003 or the remote desktop client avoid to see the animation.
On locally installed IE7 animated gif's works fine.

You never execute that method in your InternalFrameBasic class to the mouse listener never gets added to the table.

Annotating pdf documents in Preview - the text search feature doesn't work?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to annotate my pdf documents using preview. However, I realized the other day that as soon as I start annotating a document (with notes, shapes, highlighting, etc), the preview text search doesn't work anymore.
Thanks for any help or advice!

This is a known problem. I have seen one suggestion to print the annotated PDF as a new PDF in order to get search capability back. You can try the Apple Discussions "search" feature at the upper right corner to look for more suggestions.

My Spry Horizontal Menu doesn't work

I created my Spry horizontal menu and tried it in preview browser and it doesn't work. I published the site to see if it check didn't work in preview mode and it REALLY doesn't work.
I'm sure it's something simple that I am just missing, but what I don't know. I have attached the css style sheet as I did change the spacing and colors.
Is it something I could be missing on the individual pages and linking there?
I apologize for being dumb, but I am a newbie to this and the tutorials I took don't go into detail about linking other than to explain the linking from your index page. Is there more linking that I need to do?
Here is the menu and I did place it in it's own div tag.
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Bar Code Products</a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Bar Code Scanners</a>

    </ul>
I thought that was all there was to it.
What am I missing. I can link to one page, but have to click on the back button to view any other page and keep repeating that process to view all the pages.
Boy do I feel stupid.
Any help would be appreciated. Needless to say I republished my friends old site because of functionality. But I'd really like to get this one working for him.
Thanks in advance.
Oops

NEVER MIND. What an idiot. I never copied the linked menu bar into the other pages. My stupid.
Thanks and sorry to waste your time.

Flash menu doesn't work after opening an external link.

Hi,
I have this problem - I made a simple website with a flash menu, that opens internal links in an iframe. However, I have a few other (not included in the menu) external links, which open in the same iframe. And after I click on one of them and it loads in the iframe, the buttons on the menu stop working. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the internet explorer, since it works on some computers. But I'm not sure... not very good at this.
I've been searching for an answer here and there, but still haven't found anything. Please, help.
Thank you!

Here it is: http://kiss4eto.is.com/. Click on the Me button, for example. It should work. Then click on the "Addicted to Facebook" link on the right and after that try the Me button again. It doesn't work any more. At least on my computer.
Thanks, again.

Dynamic menu doesn't work with f:verbatim and jsp:directive.include

Is it not possible to include fragment part in a panel page containing some dynamic menus ?
This work fine:
<af:panelPage title="Application home">
<f:facet name="menu1">
<af:menuTabs var="menuTab" value="#{menuModel.model}">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:commandMenuItem text="#{menuTab.label}"
action="#{menuTab.getOutcome}"/>
</f:facet>
</af:menuTabs>
</f:facet>
But replacing these entry by a fragment doesn't work, as this:
<af:panelPage title="Application home">
<f:facet name="menu1">
<f:verbatim>
<jsp:directive.include file="/menuTab.jspf"/>
</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
the fragment code:
<f:subview id="menuTab">
<af:menuTabs var="menuTab" value="#{menuModel.model}">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:commandMenuItem text="#{menuTab.label}"
action="#{menuTab.getOutcome}"/>
</f:facet>
</af:menuTabs>
</f:subview>

Oh, God, why not tell me earlier!!!!!! I do use tomcat 3.1 and it just support servlet. I have no way out but modify all my jsp:include to encoding into a servlet page. I almost re-do all my work. But anyway, thank you! Next time I will know.

Smartshape menu doesn't work in html5

Hi,
I have made a kind of menu with smartshapes that are set "rest of project" and " placed on top". There are an advanced action on each that show/hide captions, also set for the rest of project, on top.
I have put a flash version of the tutorial. You can see at the slide #12 (until the end) what should happen: click to show caption/ click to hide:
http://www.bibl.ulaval.ca/diapason/evaluer_cegep3/evaluer_cegep3.htm
But when I publish it in html5, it doesn't work anymore:
http://www.bibl.ulaval.ca/diapason/evaluer_cegep2/index.html
Is there an option that can cause that problem?
thanks!

Hi there

DVD menu doesn't work on the finished DVD

Please, I need some help.
I am having problems with a DVD menu.
Several days ago I burned a DVD from the same project that I tried to export to DVD today, and I did not have any problems with DVD menu, but today, when I start to burn DVD it shows me a warning sign that tells a few DVD markers are closer than they are required, and after burning DVD the DVD menu doesn't show or work on the finished DVD. What am I doing wrong?

Burned DVD - menu doesn't work

I'm fairly new to all this and have created a slideshow in iMovie and then created a DVD in iDVD. In iDVD it all works (there is just one menu item). But when I burn to disc image (or even burn a dvd) the menu link doesn't work - it just starts over the main screen. However, with the mac dvd player if I go to the menu, I can access it through "title".
HELP!
Many thanks!
bchina

Try closing iDVD and trashing the file called com.Apple.iDVD.plist located in User/Library/Preferences. iDVD will create a new file upon relaunch. Then repair permissions using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. After deleting coded assets, try burning again.
When you burn again, I would burn from a disk image rather then directly from your iDVD project. Open your iDVD project, Delete Coded Assets from the Advanced menu, and save your project as a Disk Image on your hard drive. The assets will re-encode, taking a little time. Play the disk image with your computer's DVD Player application and see if the menu button works on the disk image. If it does, your initial problem might be caused by bad media. Burn a new DVD disk from the disk image at 4x speed, using Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R disks. See if that works.
Hope this helps.
