Users forced to scroll in Captivate 3

My company recently purchased Adobe Captivate 3, and I like a
lot of the functionality. The problem that I am having is that some
of the training that I am developing is for Web-based applications.
I understand that some of the pages that I am capturing will force
me to scroll, but I want the user of the WBT to be able to see my
entire presentation without THEM having to scroll. I have tried
changing the resolution, and it did not solve my problem.
Does anyone know a trick to avoid forcing the user to have to
scroll up and down to see all of the actions that are being
performed.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration in this
matter!

Welcome to our community, Jason
If you want crystal clear recordings that play back exactly
as you recorded, you need to simply record a smaller dimension. If
possible, resize the browser or application to a smaller dimension
before recording.
Assuming that isn't possible, you have a couple of options.
1. After you record, click Project > Resize project and
shrink the recording a little. Be advised that this will have a
negative effect and your movie will lose quality. If you choose
this approach and aren't sure how much you will be scaling down,
always click File > Save As and work with a copy until you
settle on what works best.
2. If you aren't overly concerned about the loss of quality,
instead of using the HTML companion page, you could point directly
at the SWF. There are a variety of issues with this, but it does
work for some folks. If you still need or wish to use the companion
HTML page, you could edit the properties so instead of specifying
pixel values, it presents using percentages. 100% for example.
Hopefully something here either helped outright or caused you
to formulate an idea that eventually does.
Cheers... Rick

  • Force vert scroll bar & good design reference

    OK, yes I'm a self-taught nube with LiveCycle. After numerous tutorials and lots of reading, I know I need to code to force vertical scroll bars to appear as default on a multi-line text field. I'm a designer - not a coder- and I have yet to find an example to plagiarize work off of. Can somebody please show me how?
    Also, I started by scanning a form and letting LC design a form from that. As I explore the hierarchy, I cannot decipher the magical, mystical logic as to how text and text fields are distributed amongst cells, paragraphs, and rows; why some tables get a header row and others have the header shoved into a body row; and so on. To further my education, can somebody also point me to a good treatise (preferable on-line) for basic best-practices for design within LiveCycle?
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to insert Captivate 8 Demo into RH 10 without users having to scroll to view content? i.e. can I

    I am building RH10 Web Help that primarily consists of Captivate 8 Demos. I recorded a 900px x 700px region with my monitor set to 1024x700.
    When I insert the demo into an RH 10 topic and specify that the display window for the demo should be 900x731 (extra height to allow for space needed by Captivate play bar) the viewer has to scroll the window to see entire contents if their screen resolution is less than 1200x780.
    Scrolling bad.
    How can I make the Captivate demo auto-size so that it fits in the 900x731 window I gave it WITHOUT any need for user to scroll.
    Thanks,
    Ted

    The skin of the help itself also takes some space. You can minimize or
    hide the skin.
    My preference is to insert a placeholder image that opens the actual
    movie in a popup. See
    http://www.wvanweelden.eu/blog/2012/07/27/captivate-movies-robohelp
    (Note that this method only works for Flash output.)

  • Can you submit a User Variable instead of the Captivate Quiz Score variable to an LMS?

    I am attempting to create two quizzes in a course that has branching.  I know that Captivate only allows for one quiz if you are using Question type slides, but I am using a simulation to check the knowledge of a process.  I want to report one of the simulation completions depending on which branch the user goes to (different branches for different products).  How or is it even possible to submit user variables in place of the Captivate Quiz Score variable, the time in the course variable, and the Pass or Fail status to an LMS?

    Sadly, I am using Captivate 5.5.  I was thinking it should be possible to use Javascript to be able to take a specific variable and submit it to the LMS in place of Captivate's Quiz variables.  I just don't know Javascript well enough to know how to do that.

  • Force vertical scroll bar

    Hi all,
    I would like to force a vertical scroll bar on all of my pages to keep the page from appearing to shift on some pages (pages long enough for scoll bars vs pages not long enough to need scroll bar). On my site I notice it in IE8 and FF3.
    I know this has been discussed before but I am not able to find it.
    Here is my code currently in my style.css concerning HTML and body elements
    html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
    outline: 0;
    html {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:  76%;
    height: 100%;
    body {
    color: #000;
    margin: 0 0 0 0; /* Sets the margin properties for an element using shorthand notation (top, right, bottom, left) */
    padding: 0 0 0 0; /* Sets the padding properties for an element using shorthand notation (top, right, bottom, left) */
    text-align: center; /* Centers the page content container in IE 5 browsers. */
    background: #2D4262;
      How would  I accomplish this?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Thanks for responding,
    I tried both ways..I do not know CSS very well so I probably did it incorrectly.. Heres what happens when I tried both ways.
    My background goes away if I add Michaels suggestion:
    To see if I did it correctly here is what I had
    html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
    outline: 0;
    html {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:  76%;
    margin-bottom:.01px;
    min-height:100.2%;
    And if I tried to add Murrays suggestion, nothing happened
    To see if I did it correctly, here is what I had
    html, :root { overflow-y:scroll; }
    html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
    outline: 0;}
    html {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:  76%;
    height: 100%;
    Again, I am probably not doing it correctly....
    Thanks

  • Exchange 2010 Migration of 200 Users/Force Archiving

    Exchange 2010 Outlook 2007
    Here's my situation.  We are migrating 200 mailboxes from our current domain which will be absorbed into another company/organization.  The new organization is putting limits on our users mailboxes of 100 Mb or 5000 items in order to make a smooth
    transition from our Exchange environment prior to them absorbing all of our mailboxes.  Of the 200 users a quarter of them are way over that limit.  We have sent out numerous emails informing the users (mostly offsite) to archive all of their emails
    and clear out the "deleted"/"sent" items.  Obviously no one has listened to our requests to get their mailboxes down to the limit the new organization has set for us.  I just recently migrated all of the users mailboxes to .pst's
    via a powershell script, but as you know, that only copies the data.  Is there a way via powershell to move or force all of the users data (sent/deleted/inbox) to an archive thus freeing up their mailboxes for the upcoming migration?  The new org
    will not approve the migration of any mailboxes over the 100 Mb/5000 item limit.  I'm not limiting a solution to powershell -- I will take any solution that is Microsoft-centric.  I will not be able to use third party tools or solutions due to the
    nature of my job. 

    Hi,
    Since the target domain set a policy to limit the migration, I suggest kindly let the target domain disalbe or expand the limitation for a while to complete the migration, if it is possible.
    Thanks

  • Different user settings for scrolling in tables or ALVs

    Hi Experts,
    I have a strange problem.
    I have a Web Dynpro Application that uses the UI Element table. For one user who uses it the scrolling mode is a scrollbar and for an other user the scrolling mode is a paginator. That appears not only for this application. ALL applications on the system have this difference for users. So, not only in tables does that appear. In ALVs too!
    Does anybody know where I can configure this for every single user?
    Thanks a lot!
    Best regards,
    Ingmar

    The only thing I can figure is that the user getting the paginartor has accessibility turned on:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/19/e64941bfb4de2be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    That is the only option I know of that should override the system or application settings for scrolling.  In particular accessibility can be turned on at the user profile level:
    To do this, in transaction SU01 for your user name choose the tabstrip Parameters, insert the parameter ID ACCESSIBILITY_MODE with the value X, and save the entry.
    Or within the portal:
    To do this, in your user profile in the portal, under General Information select option Activate Accessibility (Screen Reader Required) and save your entries. This specification is evaluated by Web Dynpro ABAP.

  • Forcing verticle scroll bars or otherwise correcting for their absense

    Hi,
    I have a bunch of empty pages that can be gotten to from here:
    http://www.medxmedia.com/REMsCentral/about_us.php
    The second tab has some content and with the exception of the about us tab each page will likely have enough content to cause the verticle scroll bar to appear.  But what can you do on the page that doesn't have enough content so that  the navigation menu doesn't appear to jump to the right 16 px or whatever the width of the scrollbar is?
    I've found several methods online for forcing scrollbars, but none of them seem to work or I'm not adding them correctly to the CSS.
    I'd appreciate your advice.
    Best regards,
    Chris McLaughlin
    Here's the css:
    @charset "utf-8";
    /* CSS Document */
    html, body, ul, ol, li, p, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, form, fieldset {
    margin: 0;

    .PI{
    display:block;
    width: 284px;
    height: 46px;
    padding: 12px;
    float: right;

    You have two options, add either one to your sitewide CSS.
    1) Force a vertical scrollbar to appear on all pages:
    html {height: 102%; margin-bottom 2px}
    2) Force a vertical channel to appear on short pages:
    html {overflow-y: scroll}

  • User forced to change password on 1st login

    Hi,
    I have created users on ACS local database and assigned password to the account.
    Is it possible user changes the password on his 1st login ( user is forced to change password on 1st login ), I couldnt see this option on ACS version 4.0

    Hi Ronald,
    Please see link below
    http://tinyurl.com/qurqm9
    Under this documentation look for Password Aging Rules.
    The reason you are unable to see 1st time password change is because by default it is disable, please look for this option click Interface Configuration: Advanced Options: Group-Level Password Aging.

  • Users forced to clear cache and cookies after server move

    We recently moved our ColdFusion 9 website from one server to a new and improved upgraded spec server. The site works great and the upgrades are a huge improvement. However, since the move last Friday we are being flooded with calls to our helpdesk because a user goes to our normal login screen, enters their username and password, successfully login (which I store their last successful login in the account in a database so I know it's passing all login scripts), but when redirected to the "successful login" message screen, it is not holding the session variables from the login page and prompts them to login again. It's a basic form with username and password, a simple query to check for an account with those credentials and then if found sets a session.usauthenticated and then moves them to the next page. This has been working on the old server with no issues. I don't believe it's a coding issue, because on everyone who has called in, if we clear their cache and cookies from the browser and then attempt to login again, it works fine and maintains their session. This has worked on everyone so far. So I'm thinking it has something to do with our users storing cookies from the old server and the new server is trying to access them unsuccessfully.
    Is there a way around this? It seems rather odd to me that there isn't an easy way to migrate a website to a new server and treat it as a new website to the user instead of something cached. How can we make our website work for past users without having to have each and every person clear their cache and cookies (we're talking over 300,000 users here so this could get intense). Most users won't know to do this so they are all calling our help desk which is being overrun with these calls right now.

    never fails, after you post a question, you find the answer.   For anyone else who runs into this, we had to purge all cookie and session data from our users prior to them hitting the login screen. After doing the following code, they were able to successfully login on our new server without having to manually clear their cache and cookies from their browsers.
        <cflock scope="Session" timeout="10" type="exclusive">
          <cfset structclear(session)>
        </cflock>
        <cfloop item="name" collection="#cookie#">
        <cfcookie name="#name#" value="" expires="now" />
        </cfloop>

  • Standard users forced default "run as administrator" for acrobat.exe X pro

    The software has been reinstalled and patched CS6 all componets of CS6 run fine under a standard user account with the exception of Acrobat Pro.  Acrobat Pro runs fine when an administrator is logged in BUT when a standard user logs into the computer all application shortcuts and even direct execution of the exe insists on "running as administrator", seeing as though they are not an administrator they can not run Acrobat Pro X.  Any assistance would be grealtly appreciate.

    I'm not saying Norton is your problem, but I haven't heard good things about Norton software in a long time, unfortunately.
    I always recommend Avast! antivirus to people.  The free version is very good in itself, and they offer a more comprehensive Internet Security version as well.
    I don't know how technically-oriented you are, but if you do understand how things work fairly well and have taken measures and adopted good practices to avoid running malware, there is the possibility of just shutting off UAC (MIcrosoft User Account Control) if its operation continually gets in the way of your completing your work.  Typically, most people just get in the habit of confirming whatever prompts come up anyway, which defeats most of the protection UAC can afford.

  • Disable next button until user click an object button (captivate 6)

    I would like to disable the next button on a slide until the user clicks on a certain object. 
    I also would like to show a warning pop up message that appears and disappear when the user clicks next button before clicking the required object.
    Thanks!
    Jay

    But you want the Next button to be visible?
    What is that ' certain object'? Can you turn it into an interactive object, which is possible with smart shapes? Create a user variable v_click with a default value of 0. To the 'object' that has become interactive, add the standard action 'Assign v_click with 1'. The value of that variable will be checked in the conditional action that is attached to the Next Button.
    For the Next button create this conditional action:
    IF v_click is equal to 0
        Show popup message
    ELSE
        Hide popup message
        Go to Next Slide

  • Another longtime Quicktime Pro user forced to buy QTPro AGAIN...

    Just upgraded to Snow Leopard and I installed QT 7 with my newer version of QT, thinking that it would keep my Activation Key. It didn't and I don't have the purchase email and the Apple store doesn't save orders longer than 18 months. So, I'm forking over another $29. I hope other users keep better records than I do. This is my fault, I'm just surprised that Apple doesn't save orders older than that.
