Using slider to display time

Hello!
I am trying to use a vertical slider bar to represent my 72-hour dataset. I have also added two additional sliders, to represent a time intervall inside the dataset. My problem is that when i try to connect the cluster with timestamps to the slider it says "Cluster->output_timestamp, a 1D of timestamp, conflicts with cluster slide, a double [64-bit real]".
I understand that there is a type conflict between expected input to the slider and actual input, my question is how to solve this problem? Do I have to convert all the data, or is there some options for the slider that I have not got right?
I have attached a image to show what I want my slider to do.
Greetings
Kristoffer

  • How to set slide properties 'display time' unlimited?

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a PPT based captivate project.
    I have a slide with Yes / No button.
    I want to program the slide in such a way that, if user clicks 'Yes' control will jump to X slide.
    if user clicks 'No' control will jump to Y slide.
    My question is i want the slide should be displayed till an either Yes or No is clicked.
    But by default Slide Properties is set to 5 sec. Moreover i have read in the HELP section that i can be set to max 3600 sec which i dont want.
    I want the slide to be displayed till eithere yes or no is chosen. Please help.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    You had already very accurate suggestions. Want to add this: if your PPT-slides do have already animations, timings, be sure to set the pausing point of your buttons to be after all those animations have played! If they are only static slides, do not bother about my remark.
    Another addition: do you want those buttons on all your slides? If yes: you will have to copy and paste them to every slide, you cannot set a button to be displayed for the rest of the project. And to set your Jump to slides actions, it works a lot easier if you label the slides..

  • Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time?

    Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time? Or even add a "video slide" into the screensaver?
    My business has 3 TVs displayed in our lobby, each with its own apple TV and they are all linked to the same photo stream. Currently the Atv screensaver displays the photostream pictures of our products for the default 3 seconds. We just added pics/slides that now display messages and useful info for our customers but I want that info to be displayed for a longer period of time than the pictures to give people a chance to read it.
    I tried using flickr and powerpoint as a work around but no luck.  I created a slide in powerpoint with play length of 15 secs and saved it as a wmv file.  I added that file to a "screensaver" set in flickr and pointed the Atv screensaver to that flickr set.  It still displays everything, pics and the wmv file at the default 3 sec.
    I know I can increase the duration of all pics in the screensaver to display for longer but the goal is to have the pics display at 3 secs and the info slides to display at 15 secs.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No that's not possible.
    If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here 

  • How to access "Display Time" / Slide Duration variable?

    I'm using Adobe Captivate 4, and I'm trying to programmatically access the "Display Time" for the current slide (ie: the slide duration).
    How do I do that? I've looked through all the system variables in the actions dialog but to no avail.

    Hi Lilybiri,
    I retried it this morning and it works for me. Here are some pointers:
    I think it's a coincidence if CP hung when inserting the animation. It never did for me and I inserted it before and after. It's a possibility but I doubt.
    Make sure that slide1Duration is written with a lowercase "s" and a capital "D". I noticed that you wrote it with a capital "S".
    It works in TC and RollOver TC but it's not working with the click box captions. However, I could not get a standard variable like $$CaptivateVersion$$ to appear in the CB caption either.
    I really think that your issue lies with the capital "S". Give it a try.
    Finally, I'm not a good person to recommend books. I have learned AS2 and AS3 just from the Adobe help file. I never read a book or tutorial beside the help. Also, my background being a s/w developer, catching up with AS3 was not that much of an issue since I understand all the OO (Object Oriented) concepts. If you ever have questions about AS3, let me know and I'll try to help you out.

  • Editing Display Time for Slides

    Hello! I'm fairly new to Adobe Captivate and am using version 5.5. I am having trouble changing the display time for some of my slides (Captivate won't let me adjust display time from 4 seconds to 2 seconds), but I can adjust other slides with similar animations with no problems. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? Thank you!

    Hi There,
    Can you check your time if you have any image or any object set to rest of the slide, then you need to first change it back to 2 seconds and then change the slide display from 4 to 2 seconds.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Quicktime doesnt display time in slider

    As of two days ago any file played in Quicktime opens with a slider that has the moving dot but doesnt display time as it used to (time passed on one end and time left on the other)
    I cant find anything in the settings and it looks like i cant uninstall to try installing it again.
    This is being a big problem because im in the middle of working on a movie project and i really need to see how long different clips are and at which times are certain events.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Quicktime 10.3, Mac OS X 10.9.4

    QuickTime Player and its browser plug-in are not supported on a Windows 64 bit OS and this is one of the known "bugs".
    See if you can run your browser in the 32 bit mode which may help the plug-in work as designed.

  • Any way to show more than two slides at a time on the secondary display?

    During a presentation, is there any way to show more than two slides at a time in the secondary display? Sometimes during a presentation i have to go back to a certain slide without notice (usually no more than ten slides behind or in front of the current slide)
    Thanks in advanced...

    Nope. But you can jump around easily enough. Just type in the number of the slide you want (or any number, really, because you can then use the arrow keys to scroll to the correct slide), and hit return.

  • Slide 'Display Time' Question

    I am new to CP and am using version 4.  In designing my first project, I've noticed i need to set a slide 'display time' in the Slide Properties option box.  I have slides that I'd rather my users complete at their own pace then click on a NEXT button to proceed.  Is there any place where I can opt out of putting in a slide display time?

    Hi there
    No need to worry with Slide timing. All you need to do is insert a button with a label of "Next". By default, button objects will pause the slide until they have been clicked by the end user. The slide will wait indefinitely until clicked.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it.  Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there.  The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple.  They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
    My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one.  From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate.  And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one.  Try a new one.  Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

  • Won't display my gadgets - explorer does - so not gadgets - what gives - use to all the time - not anymore - how do I get them back

    All of a sudden my gadgets don't display in my igoogle home page. Use to all the time and they will if I use internet explorer it just happens with mozilla firefox.
    How do I get them to display properly they just are listed on the left hand side of the screen.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • How do you change Slide Display time

    I have a slide which has a 30 sec display time.  I want to change it to 6 secs.  So I go to slide propteries and change display time to 6.  I click OK but it make no difference.  When I look at the properties again, the time is set back to 30 secs !
    How do i change the slide display time?

    Thank you.  That has solved a number of my problems.  The time line does not appear by default on a new installation.  In fact it was quite tricky to get it visible but it is now.

  • Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)?

    Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)? How do I get the slider back?

    Problem solved: I have been using Walnut for Firefox ver. 2.0.28 theme. For some reason this has been causing the problem. Started FF in Safe Mode, and the slider problem disappeared. Then proceeded to re-enable the Walnut theme: the problem reappeared. Disabled Walnut theme and reenabled all my other add-ons (about 6 of them). Still no problem. So, clearly there is a problem with the use of Walnut theme in FF ver. 32, at least on my Windows 7 installation.
    Thanks for all your suggestions and help. Good job, all!

  • Display times for "action objects"

    I work on a MacBook Pro, MaxOSX 10.7.5, Captivate 6.
    I need to hide a button that we have made as part of a "overlay" GUI - a form of CSS. We created a master project and coded it to be downloaded to all our other projects as a overall GUI.
    But in some projects I'd like to hide a single button - not to be able to press. Not through the whole project but after let's say three to five slides. I tried using a simple smartshape but the hidden area can still be clicked. Using clickboxes or button allow me to over ride the "CSS-button" but they have a major flaw: they only last the rest of the slide and I'd like to have them throughout the entire project.
    Copy-paste is NOT an option in this case - the project lenghts are vast ...
    Is there a clickbox, button, other object or advanced action that could make an "action object" to be displayed throughout the entire project?
    Or is there a widget och well trimmed programmer out there that could solve this?
    Very grateful for all good tips and answers!
    /Cheers!

    Hi,
    Thank you for the welcoming seems like a good forum
    to hang out in and learn new things!
    I guess I wasn't as clear as I should when describing
    my issue.
    In our work we have made a "Master Project" to function
    as a sort of CSS (Cascade Style Sheet) - just like you did in
    former web design.
    The Master Project functions roughly as a Master Slide
    but it has some benefits that a Master Slide isn't capable of.
    We use the Master Project to export our interface to
    all the other projects within the e-learning project.
    So instead of having to make changes in the Master Slide
    in every project we have a better control of GUI
    changes affecting the overall e-learning project.
    Your links have given us a great tool to work with!
    We have completely missed the possibility to convert
    a smartshape to a button and with that making it
    posible to be displayed throughout the project.
    Many thanks for those tips!
    All the best and a happy week-end!

    Hello and welcome to the forum, But I don't understand your question very
    well. Perhaps it is only a matter of terminology. What do you mean by 'Master
    Project'? Is that a template, in which you have a custom theme, perhaps some
    advanced actions, variables, and of course master slides? You need interactive
    objects on all or a lot of slides, correct? I have been blogging a lot about
    the shape buttons, only interactive objects that allow that. Even did a
    webinar about them for Adobe. Here are some
    links:http://lilybiri.posterous.com/why-i-like-shape-buttons-captivate-6http:/

    <http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2012/09/training-lilybiris-favourite-shapes-
    to-trigger-advanced-actions.html>  If you want control over the visibility of
    such a shape button, do not put them on a master slide, but time them for the
    rest of the project, starting with the slide where they should appear for the
    first time. Reason is that objects on master slides do not have an ID, which
    means that they cannot be hidden or disabled using a (advanced) action.

  • Editing the display time for grouped objects

    Hello, I am having issues editing the display time for grouped items. I am using Captivate 7 and I love how now the grouped items only show as one item in the timeline because it reduces the number of rows visiblein the timeline for each object on a slide. However, now that the grouped objects no longer individually appear in the timeline, I can't make any display adjustments to the grouped objects as a whole.
    Has anyone else had this issue and is there a work around? My main issue is that if I have to extend or shorten the audio for the slide, and I have assigned an advanced action to the grouped object, in order to adjust the grouped object to match the audio, I have to now ungroup, make the adjustment, regroup, then reset the advanced action using the new group name. It is frustrating and time consuming.

    To expand and view the grouped items on the timeline, you need to click the Arrow symbol next to the group name. Once you expand, you can select the individual object and adjust the timings.
    Alternatively, you can select the individual object of the group on the slide and adjust the timings from the Timing accordion. You can do this without ungrouping.
