Word Search Widget Captivate 6

the word search widget in captivate 6 keeps freezing. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I know... in 6 all interactions paused at the first frame, causing problems. Now they don't pause at all, which causes new troubles.
No need for an advanced action at all. Just insert an interactive object that has a pause: maybe a Next button?

Cptiavte 8 - the actions does not appear in proprerties when adding a word search widget - any clues please

Are there some bugs in captivate - the properties do not always show timings - is this the same for Actions on a word search widget?

I understood perfectly your question. There is barely documentation about the learning interactions. I have been presenting last year at DevLearn about them with great success, but this year that presentation (even a workshop would be useful) was declined. And I never see any tutorial about them, no documentation in the Help etc. Wondering why, because they offer some time saving functionality to make a course more engaging. In my last blog post I showed how the Scrolling TextArea Interaction (as widget it is called TextArea, name that is still visible for the interaction as well???) can be used for a Short Answer question with more functionality than the default one: Custom Short Answer Question - Captivate blog
There is already the big confusion: why are there Widgets (they still are included) and Learning Interactions that both are pointing to widgets (hence the generic name), just to make the difference between those widgets that are SWF only and those that are compatible also with HTML5 output (the so-called Learning Interactions or Interactions)? Terminology is to say it very diplomatic, bit 'inconsistent'.
But what I explained in this blog post about Widgets, the 3 categories, is also valid for the Learning Interactions: http://blog.lilybiri.com/using-captivate-widgets-some-tips
You will see that static widgets cannot trigger Actions! Only the interactive widgets (and question) can do that. It is the same difference that exists for objects: non-interactive objects like text captions, images, cannot have actions attached to them, only the interactive objects (buttons, click boxes, TEB's, shape buttons). There is one hybrid object, the rollover slidelet. The Interaction you are pointing at, Word Search, is a static interaction, which means no actions and thus the Actions tab will not appear!
Another blog post shows all the events that can trigger an action: Events and (advanced) Actions - Captivate blog
As for your second question: in Captivate 6 all interactions were pausing at the first frame, and that caused a lot of problems (audio not playing is one of them). For that reason the behavior changed radically from 7 on: now they are not pausing at all. That means thaty you need to insert an interactive object with a pausing point like a button (think about a Next button?), click box, shape button...
Oh yes, static widgets cannot have score attached to them, there is no real way to check if the WordSearch widget has been used? It is an exception, because the other game interactions have an associated variable, are interactive, can trigger actions and can have a score (but that is another long story).
Think I have spent already too much time answering, to try to fill in the gaps in the documentation. I could write multiple articles on Interactions, want to provide more information but free things are not considered valuable at all. Why should I bother

Buggy word search widget

The word search widget seems to become easily corrupted in Captivate 8.0.1.242. If I try to modify the widget, it will no longer display properly. Anyone have tips on preventing this bug?

As you can see from the version number in my post, I have the latest version, though I'm not sure why that should matter. I cannot even configure the widget now. See the screenshot for the configuration screen. I should see letters and be able to edit the words, but those elements have been stripped away.
Now see the second screenshot below for what it looks like in preview. It looks the same if you SCORM it and load into an LMS.

Covering text on Word Search widget

Hi,
I am using the word search widget and ther is some faint text on the bottom that saus "click the first then the last letter of the work to ma e a selection"
I am trying to get wrid of that so I can put the instruction text elsewhere on the slide, but the words stay visible, even over some buttons we have got in the fram. Sending to bck doesnt work either. I have also tried covering the text with an image (of background), thenm grouping the widget with the image on front, but then that covers the buttons, even if I use send backwards...
Is ther a way if editing that instruction text so I can get rid of it?
Cheers
Rossco

Hi Rossco
I saw your replies only now as I am in India. Glad that you figured out a way.
To answer your question on how to assign an image to smartshape, you can go to Fill and Stroke accordion and click the Fill dropdown list. Here you have an option to browse and select a custom image.

Word search widget for quiz

Hello, how can I customize and include the word search widget in a quiz? This Widget is on of the 10 questions and should make part of the result.
Thank you

Most of the game interactions are interactive, which means they can have a
score. Bit the word search is static, no way to attach a score. And even
for those games that are interactive, the score is not given based on the
result of the game, just on it having been played.

Word Search Widget - Level of Difficulty

I am trying to adjust the Word Search widget level of difficulty from a 9 to a 3 per the request of the client, however it continues to not save my settings and revert to 9 again. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?

Word Search Widget

Hi there,
I wonder if you can help me. I have inserted a WordSearch interaction using Captivate 7. I have never used this Interaction before. I edited the questions and answers and clicked Generate but nothing happened so I clicked OK. After the properties of the widget updated, the grid was just a grey box with no letters. I went back into Widget Properties but there was no longer the option to Edit Words and the grid is just grey with no letters.
I have tried to create the interaction again. Again, the Generate button did not work and this time, after clicking OK, it seems to freeze during Updates Properties.

Don't think that is possible unfortunately. These interactions in Captivate 6 are relatively restrictive so 7 words is what you get to play with.

Where do I find word search interaction in captivate 8?

hi there
Just started using Captivate 8 and can't seem to find the word search interaction or game anywhere. I've googled it and still can't get the answer I'm after. Can someone help me please?
Thanking you in advance.
Irma

Hi Irma,
Did you have an installation of an older version of Captivate before? Learning interactions, originals should be in the Gallery, but normally you are using the interactions from a duplicate folder in Public documents. For Windows the path is: \Users\Public\Public Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Interactions_8_0. Can you check if you have that folder and if 10_WordSearch wdgt is in it?
If not, close Captivate, delete that folder Interactions_8_0. When you restart, a new copy of the folder will be recreated. If you still do not see the widget, something went wrong with the installation I am afraid.
BTW There is a second (and for me quicker way) to insert an interaction, using the Insert, Widgets from the menu bar. You have to do this if the path to the interactions is not correct, because here you can browse to the folder I mentioned before. Moreover, a list needs lot less searching and scrolling than the window with the thumbnails. The same option can also be used to insert an older widget (SWF only), but those are located only in the Gallery. Maybe this post can clarify something: Tips - Learning Interactions - Captivate blog

10G-form: How to do MULTIPLE WORD OR SINGLE WORD SEARCH at ITEM?

I am using 10G DB + 10G Form Builder.
I've 'database_item' where I am storing multiline text data.
I want to do MULTIPLE WORD OR SINGLE WORD SEARCH at this item through FORM.
I've tried by creating the following NON Database Items on the form:
- multiline_search_text_item, and
- multiline_result__text_item
And then writing execute_query in KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger.
I've also tried using this in the POST-TEXT-ITEM at multiline_search_text_item:
select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item from table where multiline_search_text_item = :multiline_search_text_item;
Pl help me asap.
Gaurav

What you want to do is not clear.
The query you wrote will select records where the table contains exactly what has been written in the search item. You can use LIKE and a wildcard search to find records which contain the search text:
select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item
from table
where multiline_search_text_item LIKE '%'||:multiline_search_text_item||'%';
You can use UPPER to make this case insensitive:
select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item
from table
where Upper(multiline_search_text_item) LIKE Upper('%'||:multiline_search_text_item||'%');
But I suspect you want either to match the individual words in the search text to individual words in the database multiline field, or find records where the search words appear (not necessarily as whole words). In that case, check out the following:
-- set up a table (multiline and various whitespaces)
DROP TABLE t;
CREATE TABLE t AS
SELECT
ROWNUM rn,
owner||Chr(9)||object_name||Chr(160)||subobject_name||'    '||object_id||' '||
data_object_id||Chr(10)||object_type||' '||created||' '||last_ddl_time||' '||
timestamp||' '||status||' '||temporary||' '||generated||' '||secondary AS col
FROM all_objects;
-- check the format of the multiline text item (col)
SELECT * FROM t WHERE ROWNUM < 4;
-- a type for the function below
CREATE TYPE string_tab AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(255);
-- this function takes a string and cuts out each word, idetifying words
-- as being separated by any whitespace. it returns a collection
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION string_to_tab(
p_string IN VARCHAR2) RETURN string_tab IS
l_string LONG DEFAULT
    RTrim(regexp_replace(p_string,'[[:space:]]+',' ')) || ' ';
l_data string_tab := string_tab();
n NUMBER;
BEGIN
LOOP
    EXIT WHEN l_string IS NULL;
    n := InStr(l_string, ' ');
    l_data.extend;
    l_data(l_data.Count) := LTrim(RTrim(SubStr(l_string, 1, n - 1)));
    l_string := SubStr(l_string, n + 1);
END LOOP;
RETURN l_data;
END string_to_tab;
-- selecting from t where ANY of the words in the search text has
-- a match in the multiline field (as a word or part of a word), so SYS
-- matches to MDSYS and SYSTEM
SELECT DISTINCT
t.rn, t.col
FROM
t,
(SELECT column_value
   FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE InStr(t.col,x.column_value) > 0;
-- selecting from t where ALL of the words in the search text has
-- a match in the multiline field (as a word or part of a word), so SYS
-- matches to MDSYS and SYSTEM
SELECT rn, col FROM(
SELECT
t.rn, t.col, cnt_x, Count(*) cnt
FROM
t,
(SELECT column_value , Count(1) over(PARTITION BY 1)cnt_x
   FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE InStr(t.col,x.column_value) > 0
GROUP BY t.rn, t.col, cnt_x
WHERE cnt = cnt_x;
-- selecting from t where ANY of the words in the search text
-- match a word in the multiline field, so SYS matches only to SYS
SELECT DISTINCT
t.rn, t.col
FROM
t,
(TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab(t.col) AS string_tab))) t2,
(SELECT column_value
   FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE t2.column_value = x.column_value;
-- selecting from t where ALL of the words in the search text
-- match a word in the multiline field, so SYS matches only to SYS
SELECT rn, col FROM(
SELECT
t.rn, t.col, cnt_x, Count(*) cnt
FROM
t,
(TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab(t.col) AS string_tab))) t2,
(SELECT column_value , Count(1) over(PARTITION BY 1)cnt_x
   FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE t2.column_value = x.column_value
GROUP BY t.rn, t.col, cnt_x
WHERE cnt = cnt_x;For your application you would replace 'SYS INDEX' with a variable (the search field). You can use upper() and wildcards for case insensitive & 'fuzzy' searches. You might need to modify the function so it removes other delimiters such as commas and colons.

How do you perform partial word search using PDF Open Parameters?

Hello,
We are using the 'search=' open parameter in the URL string, which open a PDF and automatically searches for a word within the PDF. It works great for whole word searches. Unfortunately, it does not work for partial word, or phrases. In other words, if I'm searching on '123456' and there is a word in the document that is '1234567', it will not find the partial word, or first 6 characters of the 7 character word. You can perform a partial or phrased search using the advance search feature of Adobe Reader. So, currently after the PDF opens, and shows no hits on the automatic search for '123456', we are able to manually search again for a partial word search, and then see matches in the document. Is there any way to specify to use a whole or partial word search when using the 'search=' open parameter, so that we can automatically match on partial and whole words? Something like 'search=123456*'?

It never worked that way. Command-F shows the page search bar.

Sometimes, when I click on a link, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link. Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg?

Sometimes, when I click a link on a web page, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link I clicked. A moment later, when I'm at the link, its address appears in the address bar, and all is normal. It seems that this happens only from some particular sites. Is FireFox reporting that my bookmarks and history are being searched?
Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg when it has trouble finding the website I requested?

That is OK. Firefox will only display the link in the location bar after the DNS look up has succeeded and a connection to the server has been established. Until that has been done you see the default setting for the location bar: Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest

My iphone 5 has the word searching in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I can connect to the net , but no phone service. What is possibly wrong?

WHy cant i get phone service? The word " searching " has been in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I have internet service but no phone service. Does any one have any thoughts or suggestions?

When you say you have Internet service, are you connected to wifi? Have you tried a reset on the phone? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then release. The phone will reboot. After it starts, see what happens. Do you have a valid SIM in the phone, one that is activated through a carrier? Have you contacted the carrier to see what they say, since phone service is a carrier responsibility?

Word search image

Hi guys,
This one's quite advanced...
I'm working on a online book project that takes a .pdf,
converts each page into a JPEG and stores them to a unique folder.
I have created a flash file that the user is directed to upon the
.pdf's upload which detects via a querystring, the folder location,
and total number of pages. This, as you have probibly guessed, is
the online book, which has all the bells and whistles of page turn
animations, a goto page function etc...
My problem is this:
I need the application to have a word search function. I know
that ideally the .pdf would have been converted to text, but I
couldn't as the layout of test to images was nowhere near perfect
on the tests I ran.
Is there any OCR styled approach that I could use in flash? I
have created JAVA applets which have performed this task before,
but never within a .swf.
An option is to install an OCR program on the server which
will run dynamically after the .pdfs upload, and store the text
into a database, however, at best (I assume), this will only allow
the user to be taken to the page, and not the line, let alone
creating a transulcent highlight, for example, over the top of the
text.
I don't expect an answer, but any feedback would be geatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I don't know the answer for OCR. I would be inclined to try
investigagate ways to avoid it that would involve loading the the
content into a swf format...e.g. like flashpaper... or search for
some other way to convert the pdf to swf whilst retaining the
formatting/appearance.
The flashpaper API has for example text searching capability
built in - I'm just not sure how much of the interface you can hide
(or may not be permitted to via the licencing agreement). And if
necessary then its also possible to use bitmapData copies of a swf
format if you need to manipulate it as an image once the swf has
loaded.
Of course if the original source is bitmap you would still
need to adress the OCR problem. Don't know if that helps.
