Text caption - changing place when displayed in different browser
Hi,
I just finished my playbar and I discover problem with text caption (with action SlideCount - once again many thank for Lilybiri). During tests in different web browsers tc is changing place as you can see it below:
Safari, Firefox and Opera are ok but Chrome and internet explorer are not. I was testing browsers on mac and pc - same result.
Any ideas?
Michal

Text caption to disapear when press play
I have a video fil on the slide, we want a text box/caption to tell the user press play button(on video) to start it and the text caption fade out when U have pressed play, not automatic fade in and fade out. Is that possible?
Hello,
Have a couple of questions:
Which version of Captivate do you use?
Is this slide video, or an inserted FLV with its default playbar? From your description I suspect it is an inserted FLV
Has the text caption to disappear completely after fading?
It is possible to apply an effect (like fading out - it will be AlphaFromTo) by advanced action in Captivate 5/5.5. But the action has to be triggered by an interactive object (button, click box) on the slide, and you cannot set the duration of the effect which is really annoying. I could find a workaround by creating a custom effect with the appropriate duration.
Something similar, but less cumbersome is to use an Exit effect, FadedZoomOut. Then you'll not have to bother about the duration at all. This was my work flow:
created a click box and put it on the same location as the play button of the play bar (FLV), but under the FLV on the Timeline (it will still be active, but if you put it on top, the play button will not be active)
created an advanced action with one statement:Apply Effect Text_Caption_1 FadedZoomOut (you can use the ellipsis eventually to have the Initial and Final scale set to the same amount, so that there is no zooming only fading)
attach this advanced action to the click box
Just crossing my fingers that you have version 5/5.5

Cannot Preview when Display PDF in Browser is unchecked
Acrobat Professional 7.0 under Internet in Preferences, when Display in PDF browser is unchecked and then I am in LiveCycle Designer 7.0, the PDF Preview option is not available and the tab is missing. I have already done the Detect & Repair to no avail. Does anyone have a solution other than checking/unchecking? Thx in advance.
It was originally checked. I went in and unckd it & that's when the PDF tab disappeared. That is what is causing this whole thing. We have dozens of PDF files on Sharepoint & I work with that a lot. Due to needing to keep that main Sharepoint page open, that's why I chgd to not having PDF's open in the IE window. So at this point, it's a matter of keeping Acrobat open while working on the forms. Unless there's another way around. If not, I can live with that. The checking and unchecking was very time consuming.

Text caption changes font/colour/size
Hi
The Recording Defaults for the Text Caption in the prferences has not been altered.
On some slides I need to add a text caption.
I'm finding that sometimes when I click to add a Text Caption the font, colour and size is different to what the default settings are. The default is Arial, 12, #0000FF.
When I manually add a text caption it'll show as System, 10 and black.
Has anyone come across this before? Is there a way to stop it. It's really annoying and a time waster to have to manually change the font, size and colour. And you have to be on your guard. It's not every time I manually add a text caption, just sometimes. It's intermittent.
Thanks
AnitaHi there
The name will vary from version to version.
Captivate_v10.dat
Captivate_v20.dat
Captivate_v30.dat
Captivate_v40.dat
The location also varies. For me, it is:
D:\Documents and Settings\Rick\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
As you can see, D is my drive letter. Yours will likely be C. My name is Rick and is how I log in. Yours will be different. Also, the "Application Data" folder is likely to be hidden from your view unless you adjust Windows to show it to you. And all of this is likely in a different location if you are using Vista or Windows 7. I'm using XP Pro.
Note that you cannot edit this file. Captivate does that internally. About all you are able to do is to close Captvate and delete or rename it. Captivate will then cook up a fresh one when it starts up and cannot locate it.
Cheers... Rick

Text caption set up to display for all of slide
hello
i'm using captivate 5 and have another query.
is there a way to automatically set up text captions to display for the whole slide not a specific time? I know how to set this, but to go through and do this for every text caption is proving to be very time consuming.
look forward to hearing from you.The Timing accordion of the Text caption could allow you to apply the setting 'For rest of slide' to all text captions (use the curved arrow, highlighted in screenshot), but the drawback is that this timing accordion also has the start time that will then be applied to all text captions, which is not always what you'll want. So for the example of the screenshot, all text captions would get a start at 4,5secs if I applied this setting to all.
If you want all future Text Captions in all projects to have the setting 'For rest of slide' make changes to the Preferences before opening a project.

Time Machine: Backup folder changing size when connected to different computers
Can someone please help me wrap my head around why the size of my Time Machine backup folder changes when connected to different computers? I tried to be as thorough as possible. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
I made a backup of my one laptop (MacBook Pro running 10.6.8) before installing Mavericks. The backup folder size is 258.56 GB and it is on a 1TB WD external. There are no other computers backed up in this folder.
Last night, I tried to copy the backup folder to another 1TB WD external and ran into the “you can’t do that” message. After some researching, I came across articles explaining how Time Machine handles HDs and, in order for me to copy my backup folder, the drive I want to copy the folder to needs to have the “Ignore ownership on this volume” deselected.
Okay, so here is my situation: I have the “Ignore ownership on this volume” deselected and journaling is correct on the drive I want to copy the backup folder to. So I can continue working on my laptop, I want to use a different computer to copy the backup folder from one HD to the other. The problem I’m having is each computer I own is showing me a different backup folder size O.o.
(1) The computer I want to use – a Power Mac G5 Quad running 10.4.11 (non intel) – is showing a backup folder size of 592.7 MB, but the HD shows there is 258 GB being used. When I drag copy, I only get a 592.7 MB backup folder. For some reason, the backup folder is the only folder acting this way. I compared other folders from the same and different externals and all the sizes match up perfectly no matter the computer they were connected to. How is this possible?
(2) My second option - Mac Pro (early 2009) running 10.9.4 – is showing a 256.15 GB backup folder size. Very close, but not 258.56 GB.
(3) My last option is to use the computer I’m trying to stay away from, the MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. This is the computer I backed up and is showing me the correct folder size = 258.56GB. As I mentioned, I'd like to work on my laptop while copying the backup folder using one of my other computers.
I am able to drag and drop from each computer, but the folder size depends on the computer I’m using. I don’t understand why I can't do a simple drag and drop of a 258 GB folder.
Many thanks!!The directory files that you are seeing are not real. They are links to the actual backup files that are stored in a hidden directory on the drive. If you were to look at the same drive on a pc, you would see the folders and you would a list files that are in the folders but the files would all be 0 byte files and Windows will tell you the file is empty because there is nothing there but a link which Windows does not understand.
So the point is you can't just copy the backupd files. The best solution that I know of (and maybe someone else will chime in) for copying them is to mirror the drive with something like Carbon Copy or some other program.

I have never had this problem with the current version of Firefox. I uninstalled the RC2, because I couldn't see what was going on half the time.It does work, and fixes other weirdness like issues on facebook. '''However '''you need to restart Firefox for it to take effect as simply reloading a page after changing the setting made no effect.

Basic Search portlet returns error when Display in New Browser Window set
Ora AS Portal 10G release 2 (10.1.2.x)
Have a region of type Portlets.
The enable users to include content in this region is enabled.
I added a Basic Search Portlet in this region.
Basic search works fine if launched from current area, however if change attributes of region to have a link that displays item in new browzer window, then
basic search portlet opens in new browzer window but returns error "Error: You do not have permission to perform this operation. (WWC-44131)"
The Basic search portlet in the new window contains a link to advanced search. If use advanced search, results are returned.
to test further, I added a advanced search portlet to this region, also with the display option to display item in a new window. In this case, the same error is obtained when doing a search.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any solutions?
Thks in advance.
PauloHi,
Can you clarify what you mean by "change attributes of region to have a link that displays item in new browzer window"?
Are you referring to Edit Region > Attributes tab ? Which of the Available Attributes did you select?
Thanks,

Advanced actions - trying to show a text caption
I have a slide with 5 text captions made from smart shapes, and 5 click boxes. All 5 smart shapes are hidden. I have 5 variables, all of which are set to zero. When a click box is clicked on, the corresponding smart shape shows and the value of the first user variable is set to one. When another click box is clicked on the corresponding smart shape shows and the next user variable is set to 1. Each of the click boxes is set up in a similar fashion. I set up 5 advanced actions, and the On Success action for each of the click boxes uses one of 5 advanced actions. The action for each click box looks something like this (I'm using generic names for this example):
IF variable1 is equal to 0
ACTIONS
Show textCaption1
Assign variable1 with 1
Play Audio sound.wav
Continue
This is working fine, and the corresponding smart shapes are showing as they should when each of the click boxes is clicked on.
But I have an additional feedback text caption that I want to show after all 5 smart shapes are showing. I tried setting up an advanced action that looks like this:
IF
variable1 is equal to 1 AND
variable2 is equal to 1 AND
variable3 is equal to 1 AND
variable4 is equal to 1 AND
variable5 is equal to 1
ACTIONS
Show feedbackTextCaption
But even after all of the click boxes have been clicked (which should set each of the 5 variables to 1), the feedback text caption does not show.
Can anyone help with a suggestion?@Sreekanth, that is not the correct approach, because a user could click 5 times on the same click box and see the final text caption. Only when you disable an already clicked interactive object this can be used. Jay was right by choosing five different variables.
@Jay How do you trigger that last conditional action? Which event do you use? You explain that the first described action is triggered by the click box, but not what is triggering the conditional action.
I suspect you'll have to combine both actions, and assign them to each click box. That means a conditional action with two decisions:
First decision 'Always' needs the condition 'IF 1 is equal to 1' to create a mimicked standard action, and has to show the text caption, to assign 1 to the variable and to play the audio. I don't know why you added 'Continue'? If the click boxes pause all at the same moment, don't add Continue, let the playhead remain at the same location.
Second decision 'Checker' is the conditional action that you wrote, checking the values of the 5 variables, and if they have all the value 1 to show the feedback text. -
Why Captivate themes do not support text caption customization?
When I am using adobe captivate6 theme for one of my project, The published file is not the same as the preview one.
Please let me know the reasons.. and also let me know are there any other methods to be followed...?Hello there,
Themes in Captivate will over ride all the previous customization applied to text captions.
If you want a different style other than that theme's style, you can create your own style and apply that to all and make that as the default for that theme (under properties of text caption).
You can also customize other text captions individually on the slide level.
and please tell have you published the project locally on your system, and what is the type of the published project?
and which version of captivate is it?
Thanks. -
Hello Captivate Gurus,
I am not sure if this is a glitch, but I am trying to include
a transparent text caption and it does not appear when I publish my
project. I have transparent captions throughout the project, so I
am not sure why this particular one does not work. I do have two
animations, 1 JPG, and a button.
My 7-second slide is as followed:
1 JPG that appears on the screen the entire length of the
slide
1 transparent text caption that is supposed to be on the
screen the entire length of the slide (not appearing)
2 text animations (one that is on the screen the entire
length of the slide, and one that appears after 3 seconds)
1 button that moves you to the next slide (appears after 4
seconds and is paused after 1.5 seconds; appears for the remainder
of the slide until someone clicks)
I know that sometimes transparent text captions won't work
with buttons, but in my case the button doesn't even appear until 4
seconds into the slide. The text caption is supposed to be there
the whole time. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the help!
Nicole
One more thing--The text caption DOES appear when I preview
the slide, but not when the project is published.Hi again Nicole
(sometimes when I don't highlight the text in a transparent
caption, it comes out looking odd)
The "oddness" you are seeing is probably anti-aliasing. One
way past that is highlighting, as you have seen. Another way is to
press Enter a couple of times after the last line of text. Then
apply a bullet to that last line. Then size the caption so you
don't see the bullet.
I've seen quirky behavior with Captivate 3 and layering. But
yours is the first report I think I've seen where a transparent
caption simply isn't appearing.
Out of curiosity, have you ensured there isn't a Button,
Click Box or Text Entry Box object causing the slide to pause
before the Caption has had a chance to appear?
Cheers... Rick -
I would like to add content that changes on a calendar basis, such as 'thought for the day". It can then display a different text or image on a nominated day. Can this be done? Robert.
OK Thanks Brad.

I do not know how to copy the code and get it onto Muse, but that’s OK for now. I will work something else out.
