pause buttons

January 5, 2014, 1:55 pm

Hi all,

Got a request from a customer wanting us to put a pause / play button on every slide of their project.  Even though we explained that the slide wouldnt progress until the next button was pressed and that you can press the back button if you miss anything they have insisted (and they customer is always right.)

 

The problem i have is i have advanced actioned on the slides and the play / pause button works until the advanced action is executed.

 

for example the pause button is visible in the output. there is voice over and text and image on the slide but there is a button that once pressed (Advanced action) another image appear.

if this button is advanced action button is pressed before the pause button it seems to render the pause button inactive.

 

Anyone got any advise?

 

I also have another question on publishing on HTML5 but i have posted that under a different discussion to prevent getting confused!

 

thanks you in advance

HTML5 TEB not storing in Variables

Hello all,

 

I've run into a fun new problem today. I'm updating a software simulation to HTML 5 and I'm having trouble identifying the reason my TEB won't write to the assigned variable. I've tried running tests and it seems the TEB is not writing to the variable no matter what I try.

 

I am running the cpExtra widget and using the xcmdnPreventTabOut so that tab can work as a submit button for the TEB. The entry into the TEB is stored in UserID. I then call this variable on the next slide, but it stays as null. Can someone help me out with potential issues of fixes?

 

Thanks in advance,

Jacob Strand

I work with Adobe captivate 8 at one location.

When I install captivate 9 on my laptop, can I work on one project in both systems?

 

Can I open a project that has been worked on in the newer version of adobe captivate (9), in captivate of a lower version (8)?

(given I don't use any features that don't exist in captivate 8).

Captivate 9 swf resume quiz/save quiz progress

I have a quiz built in captivate and is published as a .swf file. The quiz is then run through a browser(Firefox). It is a long difficult quiz and occasionally the user will end up not being able to finish the quiz in one session, the browser will freeze, or some other technical difficulty. As of right now if you even refresh the page it starts the quiz completely over. Is it possible to save the users progress so that they can resume the quiz from where they left off? For example after each time they answer a question it saves there current progress or something?

 

I've done a bit of research and haven't found much, not sure if it just doesn't exist or if I'm asking the wrong questions.

 

Thanks!

Extract - Form Variable Data?

October 23, 2018, 8:45 am

Hello,

 

Heres my shot in the dark to the community;

 

We need to create a form slide where we capture information from students so I have created a slide with form fields (text entry boxes) which are attached to variables.  Is it then possible, within Captivate once the fields are filled out, to export/pull that data into some kind of 'results' page that can then be printed by the student?

 

We want the process to be simple for the students. Fill out the boxes, look at /confirm what they entered and print. Thats it.

 

We are not looking for a quiz results page.

 

If so, how could this be accomplished? Or, can you direct me where to get this information?

 

Thank you.

Why While loop deosn't work?

After a lot of efforts, I found a code thanks to TLCMediaDesignhere : Re: How to Execute javascript in Specific Frame of the Timeline?

 

This is the code in JS Window :

 

window.cpAPIEventEmitter.addEventListener("CPAPI_VARIABLEVALUECHANGED",function(){

if(window.cpInfoCurrentFrame === 90)

{

  JavaScript Goes Here

}

},"cpInfoCurrentFrame");

 

It will fire JavaScript code on a specific frame (for example frame 90) in the timeline...

Then I build my project based on that JS code to fire my own JS code on second 2 of the timeline.

Here is Screen Shot of my simple project :

Base.png

And these are my decisions that construct "reza" script :

 

1.png

First three actions calculate the exact frame of second 2 of the slide, and save that frame number to "exactFrame" variable.

Then thanks to TLCMediaDesigncode it executes the Script_Window right at second 2 of the timeline.

 

in Script_Window I have a JavaScript to change the value of my variable named "SpeechReceived" and also it pauses the timeline

using this code :

 

window.cpAPIEventEmitter.addEventListener("CPAPI_VARIABLEVALUECHANGED",function(){

if(window.cpInfoCurrentFrame === window.exactFrame)

{

  cp.movie.pause(cp.ReasonForPause.CPCMNDPAUSE);

  SpeechReceived = "hello";

}

},"cpInfoCurrentFrame");

 

Now please look at my last decision :

2.png

I want to continue my paused timeline whenever "SpeechReceived" is equal to "hello" but here is the problem : although my variable "SpeechReceived" changes to "hello" nothing happens ... it seems that while loop doesn't work and something goes wrong here...Am I missing Something ???

Any Idea how to fix that bug ???

Oh God, How can I describe this using my low level, poor English knowledge

Ok Ready... Let's Jump in... ( I Already Know the chance to do such thing relying on Adobe is Lower than 1 percent )

 

Adobe Captivate Has a New feature called "Interactive Videos" that you can set overlay slides and bookmarks into it and that is very cool.

Now I'm trying to fulfill that feature to my own needs.

 

Let's say I have anInteractive Video, a bookmark in its timeline ( Let's name it bookmark_A )  and seconds after this bookmark I have my Overlay slide bookmark (Just After bookmark_A ).

Now it's the scenario: Users Start to watch the interactive video, then they face bookmark_A nothing happens, ok .... seconds later they face overlay slide bookmark. This brings them to overlay slide... after that on Exiting overlay slide, they jump to bookmak_A... but this time overlay slide bookmark doesn't work ... and they can watch all the video...

I want to let my users have another look at that last portion of video But as always it's not what Adobe can think of ... So I'm After, How to tell Captivate 2019 "Hey Run Overlay Slides Once and Ignore Them After First Run"?

I have an interesting issue that just appeared.  The entire Master Slide ensemble is missing or not appearing in my Captivate 2019 edition.  I have the latest update 11.0.1.266.  I recently uninstalled the program hoping to fix the issue but was not successful in that endeavor.  Has anybody else had this issue?

Have never had this issue before.  Any ideas or suggestions?

cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume not working consistently in javascript

November 13, 2018, 8:29 am

I am creating a software simulation and have a few snippets of code that are working differently upon execution. I have tested these with various alerts to see that the code follows the structure and it appears that the cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume is not functioning when I assign a value to it from a TEB.... It does work if I'm using a smart shape however and executing the code from there.

 

This is the code I run in my smartshape:(This code works and resets the focus on the TEB and allows the shortcut key to submit)

 

var frame=window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("cpInfoCurrentFrame");

 

 

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("xcmndHide","Rx_@");

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("xcmndHide","Order_Info@");

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("xcmndHide","PRC_@");

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("xcmndHide","Ins_@");

 

 

window.document.getElementById('Search_3').focus();

 

 

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume", frame-5);

 

 

 

This is the code I run in my TEB:(This code worked in SWF, but is not working in HTML5. The true statement works and the else statement is executed, but the project doesn't rewind by 5 frames as designed.)

 

var Correct = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("PtSearchName");

var Correct2 = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("Pt_Search_Name");

var Entered = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("TraineeEntry");

var frame = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("cpInfoCurrentFrame");

 

 

if( Entered.toLowerCase() == Correct.toLowerCase() || Entered.toLowerCase() == Correct2.toLowerCase()){

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("PtSearchName", Entered);

window.cpAPIInterface.next();

}

 

 

else{

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume",frame-5);

}

 

If anyone knows any extra code that needs to be used to get this to execute properly, I'd greatly appreciate the help.

 

Thanks,

Jake

Javascript reference to button that triggered it

I want to execute javascript when I click a button and I want the script to know which button I clicked. If button a, do this, if button b do something else, etc.

 

In a webpage I would just use the 'this' keyword to refer to the element that fired the event, but when I try it in Captivate, I get the window object!

 

Any ideas?

 

It's a long, boring story why I want to do it this way instead of advanced/shared actions, but suffice it to say, if I can get this working it will be better.
