Question

shortcuts not working

Hi,

I'm tryint to put some shortcuts on my project for mute/unmute.  We are showing the playbar, but to enhance 508 compliance, I put a clickbox on the slide and simply set cpCmdMute to 0 or 1 depending.  It works great at first.  But if I go to next slide and then come back to the first slide, the shortcut is no longer picked up.  What's up with that?  Is there something I need to reset to allow shortcuts to be caught again?

Or, even better, can I attach shortcuts directly to the playbar buttons (via Captivate, not special flash programming)?

Thanks,

Hello,

I do not understand this issue well: the shortcut is an alternative to clicking on the click box, and I do not see any reason why this would disappear when returning to the slide with the click box. Since you talk about manipulating the system variable cpCmndMute I suppose you did use an advanced action in Captivate 4 to check the status of the audio and act accordingly to the status? Could you perhaps post a screenshot of this advanced action that is triggered by the click box (shortcut or click)? You can use the camera in the toolbar of this posting window.

Actually, I didn't bother with an advanced action when I was just testing this out and just used OnSuccess Assign cpCmdMute with 1.

I found that if I have my clickboxes (all of them had one for each button) appear at 0.1 seconds instead of 0.0 seconds everything worked just fine.  The shortcut worked no matter how I arrived at the slide (playbar, kbd shortcut, previewer buttons, etc).

Is this a known issue?

After I got the basic boxes working, I did combine the Mute/unMute ion to one advanced action

Check If (cpCmd Mute is equal to 1)

begin

cpCmdMute := 0

end

Or Else

begin

  cpCmdMute :=1

end .

It works beautifully
