Text Caption Box not appearing

HI All / Captivate 4 Experts:
I recently upgraded from Captivate 3 to 4. My text caption box is not appearing on certain slides. I do have a click box on them, however when I removed the click box and played the next 5 slides...the text caption box did not appear.
The slides that I have are meant for the user to click on certain areas with the instructions given to them on what and where to click.
Any ideas???
PLEASE HELP!! Thanks!
Jane

Hi there
I happened across a weird issue just last night that was resolved by choosing a different ActionScript version. I'm wondering if you can try this to see if there is a change in behavior.
Click Edit > Preferences > Project > Publish Settings and whatever it's set to AS2 or AS3, try the other option and see if it changes your outcome.
Cheers... Rick

Text Caption Boxes Not Working

After working on a large project (broken into smaller files
of course) for days... all of a sudden I am having numerous
troubles with Captivate.
Most alarming, I cannot open Text Boxes at all.... to edit or
change them... for no apparent reason.
ANY HELP would be gratefully appreciated. I really don't know
what to do here... this is an Emergency, and has never happened
before.
Thanks, QuizQueen

OH MY GOD, Rick, you are a genius!!! I am sitting here almost
in tears until you showed me this simple little ".dat" file
erase trick and Captivate seems to be working MUCH
MUCH better now.... I didn't know WHAT was wrong with it, it was
hanging and acting really sluggish.
Could this be something I look to do whenever the program
starts to act flakey... bake a new .Dat file??? If so I am your
grateful slave for eternity.
I'll post back when this bear of a project is done. Grrrr...

A text like box has appeared on the screen of iphone and have to double click everything also it will not scroll down or across how can I fix this?

A text like box has appeared on the screen of my iphoe and this has to be over the app I want to use. I then have to double click on the icon for it to open. I cannot scroll across or down. I can access the apps but because it will not scroll I cannot access all of the screen. Can nayone help please???

It sounds like VoiceOver is partially on. First try triple pushing the Home button. This may turn VoiceOver off. If that doesn't work going to Settings/General/Accessibility and make sure VoiceOver is Off. Note you may have to use 3 fingers on the screen to scroll.

Text caption timings not working properly on some computers

I've created a module in Captivate 4, published with the recommended settings of AS2, Flash Player 8, and 30 FPS. Audio narration is recorded on each slide separately. It contains a .flv video inserted that plays fine. On several of the slides, text captions are timed to appear automatically as the slide is being narrated. All the timings work fine on my computer (an HP laptop with Windows XP).
This module is viewed by all 800 of our employees. Several employees (one is our department head!) have reported that the text caption boxes come in very slowly, not at all in sync with the narration. For instance, I have the caption set to appear after 5 seconds; on her computer, it doesn't appear until 15 seconds.
This is only happening with text captions. On one slide, I have several transparent captions that the viewer has to click on to make them appear. These are working fine without any delay.
We first thought a common thread among those having this problem was they had just received upgraded computers, although they all run Windows XP with Flash Player 10. However, the IT tech investigating it for us ran the module on a new computer and it played perfectly. So it seems to be a problem in Captivate.
Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this issue? Thanks for any help you can offer!

Have you tried republishing the movie as AS3 and Flashplayer 10?
Flasplayer 8 was nowhere near as efficient at decoding SWF content.
If all your users are on FP 10, publish to FP8?

Text Caption will not pop up and go away. It is there the whole slide

I have a Text Caption box that I am wanting to pop up and
give a Hint on how to answer a question slide and then go away
after a few seconds.
I have this in the Options tab for it:
Display for: specific time: 2.2 seconds
Appear after: .3 seconds
Effect: Fade in and out
In: .4 seconds Out: .5 seconds

Welcome to our community
Is this a standard Text Caption and you are inserting it on a
Question Slide? If so, perhaps the buttons or overall construction
of the Question Slide are pausing it so the caption is simply
appearing to remain on the slide the entire time.
If you are unable to futz with the timing to get the result
you want, you might try creating a small Captivate project that
only has the caption fading into view briefly, then fading out.
Publish that as a SWF and insert it on your question slide.
Hopefully something here was helpful... Rick

Text Caption Boxes on imported PowerPoint slides

I have imported a number of PowerPoint slides (with an image)
into a Captivate movie. Text is needed on these slides so
originally I created the text on the PPT slides, but when imported
into Captivate the text formatting and spacing was all messed up.
So, I had to reimport those PPT slides with no text. After
reimporting, I used Text Caption Boxes to enter the text onto those
PPT slides. When published, those text boxes display small white
boxes (white is the text color) everywhere I used the space bar in
the text boxes (after a bullet, etc.) The white boxes do not show
when previewing or editing in Captivate.
Is there a way to get rid of those boxes or does anyone know
of any other solution?
Thanks in advance!

You're welcome. And speaking of "thanks", I have copied the
"fix" for the Transparent Caption Style bug from the guy who has
been a great friend and the best source of real intelligence in the
Captivate "expert" community, Paul Dewhurst. Paul deserves the real
"Thanks" for discovering the cure for this irritation ... his
solution is as follows - and I quote:
quote:
One of the Problems Captivate used to have was that if you used
transparent captions then the text in the published movie would
look blurred, In captivate 2 you can fix this problem and have nice
crisp text all you need to do is select
#C0C0C0 as the highlight colour and highlight part of the
text (you can select just one character) this makes the text in the
published movie display nice and crisp and the highlight is
transparent.
I hope this helps - and by the way, you can find other
great tips from Paul on his website at
this link
Have a great day!

Text Caption Box Option

For some reason, Adobe 5 is not giving me the option to change the text caption box to transparent.
Is there any way i can change that in settings? I have already gone throught all the setting options and could not find that option anywhere

Hello, welcome to the Captivate forums,
Do you not have this option in the Dropdown list of the General accordion of the Text Caption Properties panel?

Hightlight boxes not appearing in Captivate 7

Hi,
I have a slide with 3 highlight boxes inserted in Captivate 7.
When all the boxes start at the same time (on the timeline) they all appear in the generated video no problem.
But when I move 2 of the boxes down the timeline to start later, they then do not appear in the generated video.
I am using Windows 7.
Can anyone help!!??!
Thanks
K

Hi, cannot get on the forums (again), will try by mail.
Here is some 'literature' for you:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-part-2
Do not delete or try to delete embedded objects on quiz/score slide or
you'll probably get in trouble. Embedded are those objects that have no
separate timeline on the slide. The Review Area is only used to mention
when a question has not be answered (totally) and on the score slide. As
for the Progress indicator: have a look at the Quiz Preferences. Under
Settings you can uncheck 'Show progress', and the text can be changed under
Default Labels.
I presented a BYOL session about Quizzes recently. And my training always
starts with the Quiz styles in the Object Style Manager, then go to the
Master slides and tweak what is necessary. Check the Quiz Preferences, I
just pointed to; only after those three actions insert question slides.

Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
Thanks,

Text captions are not displayed as per timeline settings after publishing.

Hi All,
I am using Adobe Captivate 4. I have provided different start times in timeline settings for 4 text captions. When i preview my slide, it displays well. But when i publish it and try to view it, it is only dsiplaying the first text caption and the other text captions are not at all displayed.
Request to help in this regard.
Many Thanks,

Hi Rick,
Thanks for your help.
Yeah..you are correct...I do have buttons in my slide.
When i adjusted the start time for my buttons after my text captions....it perfectly works fine...
Many Thanks,

Text from text module is not appearing in smartform output

Hi Experts,
We are using text modules in one of our smartform to print the sender text . The name of this text module is being dynamically determined during the execution and is coming correctly but still the the text inside the text module is not appearing in the output. We checked one more similar form which is working on the similar logic but calling a different text module , there it is working perfectly. I have tried all the possibilties like changing the window size, changing the fonts and other parameters of the text module but still its not appearing . This seems to be something unusual as in both the smartforms(one with text appearing from module and one without the text) the logic is exactly similar for getting the text module name. The name is getting determined in both the cases correctly and the text modules are also maintained in same manner for both these forms but text is appearing on one and not on other.
Kindly help if any one of you have also faced similar issue.
Regards

Hi Priyank,
There could be various reasons....
Wrong language for example
An easy way to prove this is, put the text direct into the smartforms and see, if it pops up immediately.
If so, you have to really debug this spot and see if the pased name is correct. (Copy paste it in the debugger, to be really sure, there could be a space in fornt or in the end...)
If that doesn't help, you have to share more details. Your question is not that very specific. You know

The text "Remove" is not appearing in the remove button of Bookmarks.

Hi,
The text "Remove" is not appearing in the remove button of Bookmarks. My problem is the same as mentioned in this question.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1017302
The solutions suggested on the link don't seem to work. How do I resolve this? For me this problem is persisting everyday.
Thanks

You already tested in Firefox's Safe Mode and that did not make any difference?
Can you associate this problem with any software changes, such as upgrading from Firefox 31 to Firefox 32, or updating an add-on, or Windows, etc.?
Have you noticed problems with any other dialogs or menus?
Occasionally a corrupted settings file may cause issues with dialogs. This file also stores toolbar customizations. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Start Firefox back up again. Any improvement in the Edit Bookmarks dialog?

Go - Connect to Server does NOT work - The text entered does not appear to

Two Macs with Mac OS X 10.5.2. Both migrated from Mac OS X 10.4.11. One Mactel and one PowerPC. I can see the former from the latter, but not the latter from the former:
Go/Connect to Server
gives this error all the time for all listed servers:
The text entered does not appear to be a recognized URL format
This does not help:
Mac OS X 10.5: "The text entered does not appear to be a recognized URL format" alert when connecting to server
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307256
Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
I'd do it on all of them.
Then we can go on from there if you still have a problem, but with several queastions eliminated!

Rich text default values not appearing in content entry template

Hello all,
Sorry for the repost, but no one seems to have an answer for me in the other forum and I thought I might be able to reach more people here.
I have created a base text item and would like to include default values in some of the attributes. The problem is the default value I set in the rich text field is not appearing when I try to create an instance of my item type.
Is this a bug, or am I not doing something right? All of my other attributes show their default values.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Text boxes not appearing - CAPTIVATE1.1

I have a number of delegates using Cap1.1 - on some machines
when recording screens, the automatic text boxes are not appearing
when the recording has finished. (the "text box" option is checked
on all PCs in the custom options settings)
I`m sure i`ve heard this could be something to do with Flash
players - I checked one of the machines that is facing the issue
and its using Flash 9.
any help would be great
cheers

Sorry, I only keep the current version and one version back
due to storage limitations. I would note that there are few things
more difficult than to suggest a correction for an "intermittent"
problem, but I'd have to say an intermittent problem
on a version that was replaced years ago would definitely
qualify as the most difficult of all.
That said, maybe we can offer some help if we knew what the
problem was. You don't really say, except that some text-captions
on some machines are not appearing. That is not really helpful in
troubleshooting.
What is being recorded - exactly?
Where is it being recorded from - Internet, local drive,
etc.?
What are the delegates (what's a delegate?) doing at the time
they expect, but are not getting, automatically-generated
text-captions?
I am relatively certain that the problem (if I understand
that part), has nothing at all to do with the Flash Player version
installed, but beyond that, I'm sorry that all I can offer is
questions instead of answers.
Welcome to the User-to-User forums, hardyandy. Hopefully you
can give us enough additional information that we can take a stab
at helping out.
