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?

QooQee Text Magic Widget Not Working Properly
Hi,
I recently installed the QooQee text magic widget on my Muse website. (Here's the page in question.) It has always worked great in "preview in browser." But when I uploaded it to my site via ftp, it no longer functions. (I use BlueHost as my host.) Any idea why this might be happening. I already contacted QooQee and this was the response I received:
"I am not sure, but to make sure that the muse project uploads correctly, please use the “upload to FTP host” option in muse instead of uploading manually. If that does not work you need to contact your hosting to see why you do nougat all the scripts uploaded.
Note that the widget functions as it shows up in the preview but it will not upload so it will not in the hosted site."
I upload my site using the Muse upload to FTP host option.
So I contacted BlueHost and they said they couldn't help me since it was 3rd party software.
Please, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-KristineThanks for trying anyway, Bernard!
Yeah, I've now had two of QooQee's widgets either not work or completely break my site. Bummer.
Time to stop using them. -
Hi,
I've noticed while working on PL/SQL packages that if I do a search (Ctrl-F), go back to editing and then do another search (Ctrl-F), I get the results of the first search word. As a workaround, if I then click in the search box and edit it (e.g. add space, remove space), the search 'refreshes'.
I'm fairly certain that this worked properly up to 4.0EA3...
Best regards,
Mark JohanssonWhen you press CTRL+F, is the "Match case" check box selected?

Text select tool not working properly
When I use the text select tool, it selects columns, not words in a row, which is what I want. It used to work correctly. I am using Acrobat Pro, version 9.0.0.
I tried adding the ALT key, with no good result.Is it with this specific document o any pdf you work on?
If it was earlier working fine for you, try repairing Acrobat by going to 'Help' menu > Repair Acrobat.
Also make sure you have updated it to the latest patch.

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, QuizQueenOH 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...

Links using anchors not working properly to some people
on this site:
http://www.thevpp.ca
I used anchors to link the show ads on either side of the page to the appropriate section of the show page. This works perfectly in Safari, Firefox (on mac) and IE (on PC).
Our client and one other person have complained that the link to "GodSpell" opens "Heart & Soul" in the centre of the page instead of GodSpell, but I cannot duplicate this. I can't find out what browser / version / OS they're using as they don't know.
Clicking on the GodSpell image on the home page takes you to shows.html#b which is GodSpell. (Heart & Soul is shows.html#a)
They say the other show links work perfectly. I thought initially their browser might not support anchors, but if the others work, then I don't get why this one doesn't.
Is there a better way to link these images than using anchors? Could the problem be that the anchor links are within a ProjectVIII scroller?A few code errors to check:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thevpp.ca%2Fshows.html%23b
I see several problems. In Firefox 12, the only links that work consistently for me are "Love Letters" and "Sinatra". If I use the custom scrollbar and go all the way down to "Sinatra," the links don't trigger anything. Same thing happens in Chrome.
For an alternate approach, I created a named anchors demo (without tables). You'll see there is ample space between each of the named anchor regions (view page source to see the code).

Text wrap not working properly CS4
Despite trying numerous times over last few days, reviewing multiple tutorials to make sure I know what I'm doing, I simply cannot get the text wrap options to work properly. In SOME instances (not all ... why?!?) I can select text wrap, but when I try to make further adjustments (wider margin or switch to object wrap, for instance), it simply does not allow selection. The choices once I'm in the text wrap box are grayed out (margins, contour box, etc) as not available. WHAT is going on?! Do I have defective software? Is it me? I've even reinstalled the whole CS4. <aarrggh> I am SO frustrated!
Things like this are almost always attributable to user error.
If you're new to InDesign I'd suggest investing in Sandee Cohen's Visual Quick Start Guide: http://amzn.to/ggnCUx
More details, screenshots, etc would help us, though.

Some text caption prefs not reflected in recorded project
In Captivate 5:
Among others, I have set the following preferences prior to recording:
Font size: 12pt
Vertical alignment: Top
Display for: Rest of slide
The text captions in the resulting recording show the following:
Font size: 19pt
Vertical alignment: Middle
Display for: Specific time
Any ideas as to why some of the text caption prefs are not being applied to the recording (while some are)?
Many thanks.Absolutely. Here are screen captures to clarify:

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!We're sorry.

Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You
Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?! -
