Using a Flash button and rollover captions simultaneously

Hi,
I have a button that I created in Flash. When hovered over, the button turns a different color. I'd like to use this button simultaneously with the rollover caption feature in Captivate, but it looks like I can only get one or the other to work, depending which is stacked on top.
Anyone have any workaround ideas, besides creating each button individually in Flash and adding the text in the hover state?
I'm using CP6.
Thanks!

Hi there
Why use Flash just to create a button rollover? Captivate offers Image buttons where you specify up to three images used for rollovers. And with the Captivate button you could enable the Hint caption to provide the rollover you are seeking.
Cheers... Rick

  • Flash buttons and History.back

    Hi all

    I put in the link textfield javascript:history.back()

    I wouldn't recommend the use of Flash buttons period.
    They cannot be spidered.
    They do not appear when the visitor doesn't have Flash
    plugin.
    They are not usable by screen assistive devices.
    They have link and path problems after they have been
    inserted on your page.
    Your best bet is to forget they exist and use an ordinary
    text or graphic
    link.

  • Use of flash buttons - not a good idea?

    Hi guys
    I've been advised in an earlier post against the use of flash
    buttons. As someone relatively new to Adobe products I'm interested
    to know how flash buttons don't seem to be supported but flash
    moves or indeed flash websites are in abundance and seemingly have
    no problems, or personally speaking I've not had problems viewing
    such websites in the past. I'm not contending the opinion I was
    given but as someone on a learning curve I think it would be
    invaluable to learn how one works and not the other.
    Also, what would be a suitable alternative to flash buttons,
    I'm considering using jpg images which change on mouse-over using
    javascript.
    Mike

    sigh - i was trying to be nonjudgemental. one may have a site
    where seo is a nonissue and they know that their audience has the
    latest flash-equipped browser (like mine, for example. while i
    choose to not use flash for different reasons, i don't rely on
    search engines as a meaningful source of business and/or leads.)

  • How can I make the background one solid color?  It is too difficult and noticeable when I use the retouch button and try to erase all the creases in my backdrop.  So, how can I have just a solid white background?

    When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
    One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.

    I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.

    Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

    Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged.  Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
    Have you done so?  If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer.  Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

    Hi Apple ...(you are not),
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    There are a couple of places where the Apple ID is used, so the first thing I would suggest is to go to the appleid.apple.com website and make sure everything is up to date there.   Then, sign out of your iTunes Store Account and sign back in with the correct Apple ID and password.   Finally, look at the settings for your Computer Administrator account and make sure that is correct as well.   I'm including a few articles for you that explain this information in more detail.

    Hi nitramred,
    To start troubleshooting this issue where you are unable to adjust the volume after receiving a call, please go ahead and first force close all of the apps currently running on the device, and then reset it by following the steps in the articles below.

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    Take care,

    my phone froze so i switched it off using the power button and home. now everytime it switches on, it wont go past the apple screen??

    Hello 3m4nz4,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your device. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
    Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may occasionally stop responding to buttons, switches, or touchscreen input and may exhibit one or more of these symptoms:
    Does not return to the Home screen after you press the Home button
    Does not wake from sleep after you press the Sleep/Wake button
    Does not turn on (or power on) when you press any button
    Does not start up past Apple logo
    Appears frozen or unresponsive
    Is unable to "Slide to Unlock" or "Slide to Power Off"
    To troubleshoot these symptoms:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • Rollover problem - rollover area and rollover caption appear simultaneously. Mouse has no effect.

    Greetings - I am a new user of Captivate 7, subscription version.  I am taking tutorials and cannot get the rollover caption and area to work.  They simply appear as two objects.  Mousing does not affect appears or disappearance of the caption.  What am I doing wrong?  TIA 

    This may seem like a stupid question, but how are you watching the project? Simply playing the slide (using F3 or pressing the play button in the timeline) won't show interactive objects working. Use:
    F4 (to preview the whole project within Captivate)
    F10 (to preview a certain number of slides in Captivate starting with the current one--default is 5 slides)
    F12 (to preview as a swf in the web browser)
    or... I think it's F11 that previews as html5 output in a browser, although I don't use Captivate 7 so I don't know for sure
    Edit: woops, looks like Lilybiri beat me to it

  • Can I create a Flash button and use it to navigate to the next slide of a PowerPoint Presentation?

    Hello all,
    I've been having a bit of a hard time understanding how to get a button which I have created in Flash to navigate to the next slide of the PowerPoint presentation which it has been added into. I'm fairly new to Flash, so I believe that this is slightly out of my natural skill range, so hopefully someone will be able to help.
    I understand that I somehow need to make use of fscommand in ActionScript, but I'm not sure how I can get Flash and PowerPoint to communicate between themselves. If anyone could write a walkthrough on how to do this, I would be bery grateful.
    I'm using Flash MX 2004 7.0 and Powerpoint 2003.
    Thanks

    Hi. Why not to make the whole presentation in FLASH? What you have to do is to import all the slides inside FLASH. Then place one by one in the stills and then create the code to make the stills advance and show the slides by means of the button. The code for the button goes as follows:
    on (release) {
        nextFrame();
    to introduce this code make sure you press the button and no the frame.
    Then in order to make the presentation open and cover the screen, no matter how big it is, you need to enter the following code in the first frame:
    stop();
    fscommand ("showmenu",false);
    fscommand ("fullscreen", true);
    You will need also a button to quit the aplication. This is the code:
    on (release) {
         stop();
    fscommand ("quit");
    Now write all of this in your application and let me know your experience. MamenFLASH$

  • Rollover buttons and rollover areas

    I created a button on Fireworks that changes from blue to purple on rollover and when I imported it into Captivate 5 it works perfectly. However when I added a rollover area the button no longer changes color. I would love some ideas on how to make that work.
    I tried placing the rollover area behind the button and it changes color but the rollover caption does not show up. I also tried not using a rollover area and instead changing the button properties to On Success: Show > Text Caption and that works ok except I don't want the slides to continue for there are still other buttons I would like the viewer to press before proceeding. I have a feeling there's some Advanced Actions that I could use but don't know how to set them up.
    Please help me, thanks a bundle in advance.

    You can get this to work by using the Event Handler widget: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/catalog/widgets/interactive/wdgt_event_handler_01
    There's a post here where I describe how to us Event Handler widgets to have a rollover as well as a double click event and right click event all working off the same object on a Captivate slide: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/beat_cp_interactive_catch22
    This isn't possible to do any other way.  I tried every other way I could think of first.

  • I AM USING ADOBE FLASH PLAYER AND SILVERLIGHT, SHOULD I BE DOING THIS

    My web pages keep flashing in and out, Is my silverlight and adobe flash player causing this problem ?

    Generally speaking, most sites either use Flash or they use Silverlight, so there shouldn't be any conflict in having both of those installed.
    Could you describe the problem in more detail: is the page is just sitting there and it's flashing? Or does it flashes while you are trying to scroll the page, or when it is loading?
    Does this happen on all sites, or are there particular sites where you have this problem? Example addresses could be helpful.
    Sometimes if the display gets flaky and behaves erratically, it indicates that Firefox is not fully compatible with your graphics card drivers. This can occur after a Windows update or other system update. The standard workaround is to disable Firefox from using hardware acceleration for graphics. Here is where you set that:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    This will take effect the next time you exit and start Firefox up again.
