Can you create a button that adds specific text to a form field?

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to create a button in a PDF that, when clicked, adds specific text to a form field?
I am trying to make a product catalogue where you click on a product button to add the product name or code to a form field.
Each product in the catalogue will have a button and the more you click the more is added to the form field(s).
Then when you have finished adding products to the form field(s) I want to be able to save and email the entire PDF as an order form.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jim

Yes, it's possible. The most simple version of such a script will be something like this (used as the button's MouseUp event):
var v = this.getField("Products");
if (f.value!="")
f.value += ", ";
f.value += "Product1";

Can you create a button that will go to multiple key frames?

Hi, I am trying to make a rpg style character select interface. What i am trying to do is very similar to the picture below. How do you create a button like the stats, gear, and supplies that will each show a different image or text depending on which character you choose. If noone have played this marvel facebook game before, if you choose for instance Ironman, then the buttons on the right change to stats, bio, and gear. Each character will show a different bio when the bio button is clicked. Do i create a different screen for each character with the same button layout in the same place? I think i just answered my own question but i want to make sure that is possible. Should each character portrait, stats, bio, and gear be on its own layer and have the buttons go to those specific keyframes? thanks

While you could create a different screen for each, a better way to do this is via some form of database. The buttons cause functions to be executed and the functions utilize data resources based on the selections that are established.
So if you pick a particular character, a variable is a assigned a value that indicates that. That variable is then utilized to extract the data associated with the character and to build the screen elements related to the options for that character.

Can you create a button that allows users to save content?

I am trying to come up with a way that allows a user to save their certificate (created using the widget in Captivate 4) if they don't immediately have access to a printer. Is there some code I could attach to a button?

What about printing to a pdf-document? There are a lot of free PDF-writers around.

Can I create a button that copy's a certain test to my clipboard?

Can I create a button that copy's a certain test to my clipboard?
For example, when I click the button on the website, then the next time to paste somewhere, a specific text appears?
If this is possible, could someone please explain how? =(

Hi Travis,
There is no native feature in Muse to achieve this. However, you can use custom code to achieve this. Please refer to the following link for the sample code : How to copy to the clipboard in JavaScript? - Stack Overflow

I need to create a button that add "1" to a number box in "numbers" program

hi
I making an inventory list that often being change.
I want to create a button that "add 1" and a button that "reduce 1" so i can adjust it faster
how can i do it ?
thanks

Hi Yaniv,
With a single Stepper, I can't see how you can make it refer to different cells in your *locked* inventory.
Maybe this will work. Old Inventory (2012), then a mirror table with Steppers for every cell, then New Inventory (2013) with formulas to add or subtract Stepper values. Old and New inventories are locked. Stepper Table is not locked. That is where you enter the changes.
Formula in B2 of the 2013 Inventory is
=Inventory 30 June 2012 :: B2+Add or subtract :: B2
Where the Stepper Table is called "Add or Subtract".
Fill Down and Right.
Regards,
Ian

Can you create a template that has a header and footer to forms?

Can you create a template that has a header and footer to forms?

Yes but how are they going to create the Landscape versions?
The problem with doing it in Pages '09 as rotated content is that the Headers and Footers are not rotated and there is inherent clumsiness in the rotated content usually being too large for the page when viewed at 90°.
Best to make it in two or more separate documents.

Can you create a button from apDiv in CS4

can I create a button action for in the code view
<div id="ap Div3"></div>
I know how to link text that I place within the div id to a html document but I want to be able to draw an AP DIV from the layout and have it contain an image or color, then when hovering over have the background change to a color, then be able to hit anywhere whithin the <div id="ap Div3"></div> area and have it change to another color.
I am very comfortable with flash and am having a dificult time understanding the rigid layout of dreamweaver.
thanks in advance

I get the impression you are new to DW. With that said, I think it would be a very good idea for you to go over to http://www.w3schools.com and get familiar with html and css.
I dont believe you can have an apdiv as a link (I may be wrong, but hopefully at the end of this it will not be relevant), however you can have a "button" or other graphic as a link. Here is the code.
<a href="http://www.yourlink.com"><img src="folder/file.ext" width="200" height="200" /></a>
This will create a link on an image.
If you want the image or colors to change, you will have to go and set rules for your links. Put the following in your editor (DW Code View) and adjust as you like.
a:link {
    color: #333333;
a:visited {
    color: #FFFFFF;
a:hover {
    color: #CCCCCC;
    background-color: #333333;
a:active {
    color: #333333;
Lastly, apdivs, in particular for someone new to DW and html can be a world of pain. Trying to use them as a layout object can be very frustrating, because once you have tweaked and tweaked them, you look at your layout on a different machine, and chances are it looks nothing like what you had.

Can I create a button that will take me to a random slide in a sequence?

Let's say I have three simulations setup and the simulations start on slide 5, 15, and 23. Can I make a button that will randomly jump to one of those slides?

You have to execute that script using an event, in this case you'll use the Success event of the button that you created to 'jump'. And it will probably be an advanced action, unless you execute the JS with the On Enter event of the slide. You have two commands: first to execute the script, second to jump to that slide, for which you'll have to use a system variable cpCmndGotoSlide and the value of the variable returned by the JS. Slide numbering starts with index 0.

How do You create menu buttons that move up and down with a remote?

I have six menu items that are linked to their proper locations. When I simulated it a Hand moves over the proper choice then when I click there we go.
But on the DVD simulator you can't navigate. I thought maybe I would bring in one of the templates to use their buttons I can't get my images to replace theirs. Any help appreciated.

Take a look here to make sure buttons are being set properly
http://dvdstepbystep.com/buttons07m.php
And download the movie if you like
I create a button, then set the text and include highlights
I then create another button, then set the text and the include highlights
I then click on the menu and go to the inspector to see colors
RED Normal
BLUE Selected
YELLOW Activated
In simulater I then use the remote control and CANNOT navigate through the buttons
I stop Simulator and then use Auto Assign Buttons Now Command, then relaunch Simulator and get the remote control to work
Make sure to link the button to the track you want to go to.
I thought the issue is that you cannot navigate the buttons with the remote control? If you only have one button on the screen, it will always be selected (Yellow in your project as described)
If it is flashing Megenta and nothing happens, it means a target has not been set (or somehow you are targeting the menu again)
So the only two condiitions you will see is yellow or magenta.

How can I create a button that performs the function of a keyboard shortcut, specifically print scrn

I need my presentation users to take a screen shot of a slide within my presentation. I know that windows 8 has a new function that allows a screen shot to be taken and saved directly to the user's computer and I need a button that can be placed on a slide and perform this function. The shortcut is (windows key) + (print scrn). I want to save my userss some time and just have a button perform this task. Any idea on how I can make this possible? I am using Captivate 7.

I think Ajit may have misunderstood your need. The command he told you about triggers the Print command to allow you to print the currently active slide (on a laser or inkjet printer). This does not have the same result as you would get by hitting the PrintScreen button on your keyboard (to take a screencapture and have it saved to the Clipboard for pasting somewhere else).
You can add a button to your slide and set the PrintScreen key as the shortcut, but this will NOT mean that clicking the button will cause a screencapture to be taken.
There are JavaScript libraries that will allow you to execute JavaScript code in a Captivate project that can take a screen capture:
https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/wiki/Screen-Capture
However, to implement these solutions you would need to be quite knowledgeable with setting up JavaScript. It's not for newbies.

Can i create a button that links to the slideshow widget

I am creating a portfolio site for a class. It is a one page site, One of my sections is going to be my "work" section. I want to categorize my work, So I have made buttons that pertain to each category of work. Is there anyway that I can link this to the slideshow widget. When one of the category buttons is clicked I want the slideshow widget to pop up. Is this possible? I can not find a tutorial and I am very new to Muse. Thank you!

Hi,
You can't directly associate a button with a slideshow. However, you can embed slideshow in a tooptip target and add the button to the tooltip trigger as mentioned in this post : Re: How do i create a button which will show new content on same page?

Can you create a book that combines exports based on multiple versions?

I am trying to create a single export job to a database table that pulls hierarchies from 2 different versions in DRM. Using the Version Variables, I have flagged the two different versions specifically for this export processes. However, when i try to create a 'book' to combine the exports, it forces me to choose a single version. Is there a way to bypass the choice of version within the 'book' definition so that it simply defaults to whatever version is indicated within the individual exports?
Thanks.

I don't think ( per my knowledge ) we have a way to create a book that combines exports that points to different versions, as you said you are exporting the results to a DB table, define the order in which the exports to be executed and for the first one in the target section “select clear all rows”, and for the second one select “do not clear the table”.
Now try creating individual CFG's for these exports and call them part of a single batch in the appropriate order, I know it's little painful to do this, but can't help it.

Can you have a button play a specific frame in a different Edge Animate page?

I'd like to create a movie that can open other HTML files and go to a specific frame within those other pages. Is there any way to handle that inside of Edge Animate?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm looking for something a little different.
I'm looking to figure out a way to pass along some information from one movie to another.
For example. If I have a page (Movie1.html) that has Button A, Button B and Button C. Is there a way for me to open a different page (Movie2.html) AND point to a different frame based on what they clicked in Movie1.html?
So if they click Button A, it will open Movie2.html and go to frame label "IntroSection"
But if they click Button B, it will still open up Movie2.html, but this time it would jump to the label "AboutUs"
And if they click Button C, it will open up Movie2.html, it would jump to the label "End"
The idea is to have a few different files, but be able to point to specific frames or labels within an external movie.
Thanks!
Jeff
