Wonky Demo Output - Misaligned Text Boxes and Jumpy Mouse

Hello All,
I'm using Captivate 3 to record a demo of an internal
organization's web-based system. As I'm recording I immediately
noticed that the mouse gets very jumpy and fades in and out
whenever I try to scroll up/down or side to side. It takes it
approximate 4-8 seconds to "catch up" and reappear on the demo
recording screen. It creates a chopping appearance.
Once I view the recorded demo, the mouse appears to be
trailing and creating weird lines (they fade after 3 seconds or so)
along the path the mouse previously traveled. Additionally, the
auto caption and highlight boxes are totally misaligned with the
various links I selected during the demo. Has anyone else seen
these same issues and maybe figured a way to fix them? Could it
simply be a matter of changing some global recording settings? Any
suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

Hi eLearningDeveloper and welcome to the community.
I think the problem might lie in the time to capture vs the
time to load. To clarify, when you click on a screen, Captivate
reacts almost instantly in recording what is on your screen at that
time. Unfortunately, since you are capturing off a server (web
based system), your screen takes a while to refresh, thus Captivate
is recording "incomplete" pages. My suggestion is to use a manual
capture method in cases like this i.e PrtScrn to capture your
screenshots and manually sart and end Full Motion Recording for
drag&drop type of capture The keys used are customisable at
Edit/Preferences under the Recording node.
Lastley, work slowly thus allowing full screen refreshing at
each stage.
Hope this helps.
Andrew
PS On another subject, try not to save your cp files to the
company server as this could lead to file corruption issues, rather
save to the standalone PC.

  • Text Boxes and Lines on Full Screen Images?

    In iBooks Author I'm trying to create images with text boxes and lines overlayed on top of the images (I don't like the interactive image widget, I want just text with no gray box and a single line of text, no need for title and description, also don't need the zoom capability on each label).  I can do this fine in a basic, two column layout but when I tap on an image within a figure to see it full screen on the iPad I want the text and lines to also come full screen.  Any ideas?  I seemed to have a solution by enabling placeholder text authoring but that's proven inconsistent.

    Sound like a 'group'.
    Whatever works
    Good luck

    Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

  • Problem with action script 3 make input text box and button....

    Hi every one I am trying to make a family book using "Air for Android" with a simple search engin in the book
    air for android only work with AS3,
    the search function is to type a person's name and hit submit then go to a specific frame.
    have a problem making below code to work in AS3 and hopefully one of you guys can lead me in the right direction to fix the issue.
    Currently, I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame.
    (it work find in AS2 but not in AS3,)
    Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
    stop();
    onEnterFrame = function () {
        submit.onRelease = function() {
            switch (yourname.text) {
            case "name1" :
                gotoAndStop(2);
                break;
            case "name2" :
                gotoAndStop(3);
                break;
    My button that checks if the phrase is correct is called "submit" and my input box has an instance of "yourname".
    My phrases that will be accepted in the input box are "name1" and "name2" which bring me to two different frames.
    Basically, I'm having a problem with making this to work with AS3.

    you should use the default option in the switch statement
    that way yourname contains something not in one of the case statements it will go to the default bit and execute teh code there
    function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void
                                  switch (yourname.text)
                                            case "name1":
                                                      gotoAndStop(2);
                                                      break;
                                            case "name2":
                                                      gotoAndStop(3);
                                                      break;
                                            default:
                                                      goToAndStop(you frame you want);
                                            break;

  • Converting images that include text boxes and callouts in FM

    Hello,
    I'm on a new project (TCS 3.5, RH 9, FM 10) that requires me to include text boxes and lines (callouts) on top / in front of many of the images in FM. The reason they are not allowing me to add the text/callouts to the images themselves is because they want to keep the text boxes editable for translation.
    The problem: After importing into RH, these images have white borders on all sides that they didn't have previously and I can't figure out what's causing it.
    When I remove the text/callouts from over the images in question, then reimport, the problem resolves and the white borders disappear. When I view the original image files, there are no borders present. After I import, I view the image file in the RH folder and it does include the border. (So the border is on the image itself.)
    Presently, the Object Properties for the images are as follows:
    Offset From:
    Top: 0.0"
    Left: 0.0"
    Border Width: 0.015 (which is lowest FM allows me to set... I get an error message when I try to enter 0.0)
    Anchored Frame settings:
    Anchoring Position: Below Current Line
    Alignment: Left
    Cropped/Floating: both unchecked
    I've tried many different variations and tests; probably too many to list here. In short, the "border" appears when there is text/callouts on the image and it disappears when I delete the text/callouts. I was hoping that someone may have had a similar issue. Please let me know if you need more info to troubleshoot and thanks for reading.
    Best,
    Tom

    I had the same problem with callouts, but my solution was to add them directly to the image, so that doesn't help you.
    Another things you can try to is ensure that the edges of the image do not touch the edges of the anchored frame. Make sure there is a bit of white space. I don't know why, but when any of my images touch the anchored frame, the conversion looks awful.
    Also, my images appeared best in Robohelp when I set the properties for the image in Robohelp as follows:
    File > Project Settings
    Import tab
    Edit conversion settings for FrameMaker documents
    On the left side, select Image
    Set Width and Height to 0pt (this ensures that the image is not resized)

  • How to get the text boxes and select lists dynamically?

    Hi,
    I have a requirement such that I need to create the text boxes and select lists depending on the user input at the run time. It means that if the user requires four text boxes/select lists then I need to have 4 such thing. If the user need 6 then I need to have 6.
    The design may be such that initially only one text box/select list will be available when the page launches. Then as ad when the user asks for more those will be available to the user accordingly.
    regards,
    Dipankar.

    You can use Ajax to call textboxes and select list based on what user enters.
    Otherwise make those items conditional and based on what user enters you can display textbox or select list.
    You can call Single Textbox and Select List using Ajax for any number of conditions.
    Regards

  • Text box and radiobutton in smartforms

    Dear Friends,
    How to use text boxes and radiobuttons provided in web properties tab  of text  in smartforms.
    Please give some code if possible .
    Neetesh

    Hi Neetesh,
    U can add text box using  using TEMPLATE.
    right click on a window node->create->template
    You should be able to do that even outside a table / template object.
    However, if you have a tabular format to display and your data is in a internal table, you go for a table object.
    If you don't have the data in a internal table, you usually go for a TEMPLATE object
    Regard,
    Priyanka.

  • Scrollable text box and MSO

    Can you have scrollable text with a tinted colour frame beneath it that sits on top of a MSO slide show? 

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for the reply. Attached is a screen grab of the sort of theing I'm trying to do. The text bottom right is a scrollabel frame, and the background image is a slide show. When I preview it on the ipad, the background slideshow works, green coloured background to the text box and the graphics dissapper, but the scrollable text stays.

    I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form.  However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer.  Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

    While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

  • Interactive boxes (e.g. google maps text box) and drop-downs from those boxes go blank white.

    So for certain websites//boxes when I open them they are just blank white, or toolbars on websites will also randomly go between visible and completely white randomly as I scroll. So for example the facebook toolbar randomly goes white, when I try to check my messages//notifications it goes white, the google maps text box and all the drop downs are completely white, etc.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

  • How can i type text in one text box and have the same text appear in a second text box? (on the same page)

    I'm trying to make a simple CD label template and would like the text typed into the title text field on the cover to also appear in the title box on the back cover when typed just the once.
    Is there any way to accomplish this?
    Thanks.
    chuck b.

    Hi Chuck,
    Not possible with a Text box, but can be done with a table.
    Type the text in cell A1 (top left). When you exit the cell, the text will appear in C1 (top right).
    Table can have fewer cells; cell borders may be set to 'none' to make them invisible; font and size may be different is each cell (as shown).
    The formula in C1 is pretty simple:   =A1
    So it's possible, but on the whole, I agree with Peter—Copy/Paste is just as efficient, Drag and Drop onto (styled) placeholder text works quite nicely.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Is there a way to have 2 or more text boxes and not have them cancel each other out?

    In the past you could overlap text boxes, but now when I place a text box to close to another it will completely make the other disappear.  Is there something I need to change in my pages setting to allow this function, or do I just need to use the iWork 09?

    ANSWER: 
    -click "Format" (the paint brush on the top right hand side of the window)
    -click "Arrange" (3rd box on the top right hand side of the window)
    -Under "Text Wrap" you will see a drop down menu that defaults to "Automatic"
    -click "Automatic" and select "None"
    You will have to do this for each text box.  Once thats done you can move the boxes as close as you want.

  • How do i change the color of text boxes and the texts that i enter in them?

    I recently changed my system's color settings and now the text boxes in Firefox are dark grey. This is fine when the text happens to show up as white, but when it shows up as black, I can't read what I'm typing. (I'm not clear on what makes the difference. The box I'm typing this in now happens to be dark grey with white text.) I've tried playing around with settings within Firefox preferences and in my OS' (Kubuntu) system settings, and haven't yet been able to identify what settings exactly might change this specific aspect.

    Two possible ways are available
    Set the text with and html text string like "<html><font color-red>" + text + "</font></html>"
    or get the cellrenderer, cast to the DefaultCellRenderer and call setForeground or background or implement or your own cellrenderer to do the custom coloring (this could maybe depend on indexes)

  • Linked text boxes and flowing text in iBooks Author

    Flowing text from 1 text box to another works perfectly and pages are automatically added when needed, but what happen if you need 2 separated flowing text boxes?
    For example one with italian text on the left side and one for english on the right side of the same page?
    No way to have 2 flowing text box on the same page!!
    Because of the tag "body", you can use it only once in the page! No other tags "body2", or "bodyITA" can be added to create a parallel flowing box text on the same page.
    Somebody has an idea for that.
    Of course the only possible solution at the moment is create in sequence: Flowing Italian text and, at the end of italian add the english flowing text.....This is a touch books about a museum and people around the wordl need to see immediately the text without foldin pages with another language to reach the correct one!
    Thanks in advance for your reply.
    I apologize for my bad english.
