Text Boxes and Lines on Full Screen Images?

In iBooks Author I'm trying to create images with text boxes and lines overlayed on top of the images (I don't like the interactive image widget, I want just text with no gray box and a single line of text, no need for title and description, also don't need the zoom capability on each label).  I can do this fine in a basic, two column layout but when I tap on an image within a figure to see it full screen on the iPad I want the text and lines to also come full screen.  Any ideas?  I seemed to have a solution by enabling placeholder text authoring but that's proven inconsistent.

Sound like a 'group'.
Whatever works
Good luck

  • Converting images that include text boxes and callouts in FM

    Hello,
    I'm on a new project (TCS 3.5, RH 9, FM 10) that requires me to include text boxes and lines (callouts) on top / in front of many of the images in FM. The reason they are not allowing me to add the text/callouts to the images themselves is because they want to keep the text boxes editable for translation.
    The problem: After importing into RH, these images have white borders on all sides that they didn't have previously and I can't figure out what's causing it.
    When I remove the text/callouts from over the images in question, then reimport, the problem resolves and the white borders disappear. When I view the original image files, there are no borders present. After I import, I view the image file in the RH folder and it does include the border. (So the border is on the image itself.)
    Presently, the Object Properties for the images are as follows:
    Offset From:
    Top: 0.0"
    Left: 0.0"
    Border Width: 0.015 (which is lowest FM allows me to set... I get an error message when I try to enter 0.0)
    Anchored Frame settings:
    Anchoring Position: Below Current Line
    Alignment: Left
    Cropped/Floating: both unchecked
    I've tried many different variations and tests; probably too many to list here. In short, the "border" appears when there is text/callouts on the image and it disappears when I delete the text/callouts. I was hoping that someone may have had a similar issue. Please let me know if you need more info to troubleshoot and thanks for reading.
    Best,
    Tom

    I had the same problem with callouts, but my solution was to add them directly to the image, so that doesn't help you.
    Another things you can try to is ensure that the edges of the image do not touch the edges of the anchored frame. Make sure there is a bit of white space. I don't know why, but when any of my images touch the anchored frame, the conversion looks awful.
    Also, my images appeared best in Robohelp when I set the properties for the image in Robohelp as follows:
    File > Project Settings
    Import tab
    Edit conversion settings for FrameMaker documents
    On the left side, select Image
    Set Width and Height to 0pt (this ensures that the image is not resized)

  • Full screen images and full screen color background boxes are cropping horizontally.

    Full screen images aren't loading and full screen color background boxes are cropping horizontally. I'm forced to make my images a full screen slide show (of 1 image) to make it work, but then I lose the option to pin the image. Am I alone in this?

    I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form.  However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer.  Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

    While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

  • Scrollable text box and MSO

    Can you have scrollable text with a tinted colour frame beneath it that sits on top of a MSO slide show? 

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for the reply. Attached is a screen grab of the sort of theing I'm trying to do. The text bottom right is a scrollabel frame, and the background image is a slide show. When I preview it on the ipad, the background slideshow works, green coloured background to the text box and the graphics dissapper, but the scrollable text stays.
    Any Help?

  • Full screen image that stays flush with bottom of browser?

    I'm trying to make it so the image fills a full screen box and expands and contracts as usual, but always stays flush with the bottom of the browser AND allows for content below it when you scroll down.   This means I cannot pin it.   Is this a responsive design feature only, or is this possible with Muse?   Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
    http://kinhr.com

    This effect is currently not available in Muse.
    However, if you only want this effect for the first "browser window worth" of the page, it may work for you to use a full screen background image and then have content and 100% width rectangles on the page scroll over top and obscure the full screen background image as the visitor scrolls down to sections 2, 3, etc.

  • Create a full-screen image gallery with MSO - breaks other buttons?

    Hi - I'm trying to create a full screen image gallery to be accessible from any layout via a button.  The ultimate goal is to use my layout as a presentation tool and allow the presenter to have an 'image gallery' button on each page,so they would be able to jump to a full screen image at any time.  Most of my layouts have other buttons, scrollable content, etc.  I thought I had a great idea: create a multi-state object with the first state being blank, and each subsequent state would have an image and also a full screen black box at 50% transparency.  The problem is, now my other buttons are no longer working.  I confirmed that the existing buttons will work if they are arranged to be in front of the image gallery MSO, but that's not a good solution.  Am I missing something or is there another workaround?  Thanks!
    John

    You have to put buttons inside each state of the MSO.
    It's not really a workable design in the long run, you should probably rethink it It's also not good from an app performance standpoint as it requires loading full-screen images for each state into memory.

  • Question slide- Launch a full screen image in new window.

    Hi,
    I am using Captivate 4.
    In the question slide (MCQ/ Matching) I want to have a transparent button over a thumbnail image.
    On clicking this button, it lanches a full screen image in a new window.
    The student views the image and answers MCQ,  Matching (droplist)  on the main screen/slide of captivate.
    This new window can then be closed by clicking 'X' on top right corner of the window.
    How to do this?
    Thanks and regards
    Rajan

    Hi there
    Instead of a Transparent Button you should think instead about Click Boxes. But either way, Captivate doesn't allow Buttons or Click Boxes to be inserted on Question Slides.
    However, Captivate does allow you to insert Flash objects on Question slides. So you could develop a Flash object that would carry out the desired actions when clicked. Then insert the object on the Question slide.
    Cheers... Rick

  • In the slide show view how can you pin the "next" Arrow to the ultimate edge so it is in the same place as the full screen image, it will pin to the left edge but not the right.

    In the slide show view how can you pin the "next" Arrow to the ultimate edge so it is in the same place as the full screen image, it will pin to the left edge but not the right.

    Hello,
    Please make sure that the next button is pinned to the right side as there in the attached image.
    If it is already pinned, you can try removing any embedded HTML code and checking it.

  • Full screen images on E65

    How can i put full screen images on my E65??

    Well, when you say fullscreen, you mean you want it to cover the active standby apps, as well, as the clock and provider area? If so, then you would have to customize your picture and turn it into a theme. If not, then edit your picture to be 240x320 pixels in the dimension. Your picture could be larger in size as long as it has the same aspect ratio, it should fit in perfect. I have not tried this myself, but theoretically it should work.
    Hope that helps.

  • CP5: connecting permanently text boxes by lines

    When I create several text boxes and want to connect them like a diagram with lines (see below): how should I draw the lines so that they would not loose the entry points of both related tex boxes when a text box is moved on the slide?
    With my first approach I could draw the boxes and lines, but they are completely independent from another. Any change would require a lot of additional work to keep the lines intact.

    Hello again,
    I did not understand your first question well, did not know that you want to animate this, make it grow as you said. You really want an animation, but with ability to edit quite a lot. Do not see an easy solution immediately, sorry. Personally I would rather start doing this from the end slide, and work in Photoshop (using layers and the roundtripping) or creating the animations in Flash. Do you want to add effects too?
    Captivate was not really designed for creating graphical assets like you want now, although it has a lot improved since earlier versions. Please, feel free to introduce a feature request for this kind of drawing objects (dynamic connecting lines).

  • Why am I getting black boxes and lines in Facebook chat area?

    I just installed the latest version of Firefox as well as the latest version of my graphics card drivers, and Adobe Flash Player. When I open Facebook, I get black boxes and lines all over the left side of the screen where my chat contacts are. I am wondering why this is happening and if there is a current fix to it, as it is rather annoying. When I hover my mouse next to or over the black boxes and lines, they move and continue to pop up elsewhere but only on the friends/chat area.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • 3 Questions- Two about text boxes and one about something else! (10 Points)

    Hi, I'm doing a large project in java and have ran into several issues. These are summed up in these three questions:
    1. How would I make certain words certain colours/formats? I have been told I should a JTextPane, but all my text is currently in a box created like this:
    static JTextComponent textbox = new JTextArea("", 23, 60);
    2. How would I give that above box (or the JTextPane if I used that) line numbers next to each line. Not part of the text box, but on the left hand side numbers go down every line, however (and here's the catch) when you scroll the text box, the line numbers have to scroll also, so they stay in touch with the lines.
    3. How would I launch an external application? At the start its just an .exe, however I have to load it with certain parameters? any ideas?
    Thank you
    Alex
