How can I make PLAY button be selected by default in top menu?

Hi, I usually have the PLAY button and all the scene selection buttons show up in the same top menu on my DVD's. Is there a way to have the PLAY button be the one that is initially selected when the DVD starts up. In other words, I don't want people to have to scroll the various buttons on the menu to get to the PLAY button. I want it to be selected by default, so all they have to do is hit the PLAY button on their remote control to start the movie.
Thanks, Bob

I think Robert was referring to the triangular play button on the simulator control panel rather than the button on his menu marked 'Play'...
Robert - the 'Enter' button (or your 'Return' key on your keyboard) are the only ways you'll get the simulator to begin to play your project. The Triangular play button is for when you are in a motion menu or track and you pause and re-start playback, and isn't used to select entries on the menu. When you start a track, note how the triangular play button becomes a pause button when the track starts running, and it is no longer greyed out... if you click it, you'll see the triangle return and also not be greyed out.

How can I make a button "react"?

This is probably a super silly question, but you know how it is, sometimes we sit on the answer and still can't find it... How can I make a button react to a click? I just want the simple effect of the button changing colors or looking like the user pushed it. Right now it's just the same old plain button, no matter if I click it or not, you can't really tell the difference. How can I give it the "pushing the button" effect? Thanks guys!

You can choose image button and then choose from the available image buttons, or click on the folder icon when you select the image button and choose from the Gallery of Captivate 6.
Few image buttons change color on hover or onclicked, these effects are predefined in them.
Or you can edit that button on which you are working, from properties Panel.
The Post and Cancel button on this thread seems like a transparent button in Captivate with different fill and stroke color, and transparency is also less, and with corner radius of 0.
You will find these all optionns, when you will click on that button and then click on the properties panel.
Thanks.

How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

How can I make a button that on press the object appears and on second press the object to disappear

Hello,
I'm quite new to flash programing, and I don't know how can I make a button that will make the object appear and disappear.Till now I have this code for the appear:
on (press)
    _root.top1.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.topp.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.mm1.gotoAndStop(2);
          _root.m1.gotoAndStop(2);
but from here I'm stuck.
Thank you for your help

What you can do is use the _visible property of the object to make it appear and disappear, or more correctly, use the opoosite of the _visible property. You should not put code "on" objects, keep it in the timeline.
If "object" is the instance name of the object you want to toggle, then in the timeline code you can use...
object._visible = false; // start with the object being invisible
yourButtonName.onRelease = function(){
    object._visible = !object._visible;
That one line in the function sets the object's _visible property to be the opposite of what it currently is.

How can I make my buttons be gone forever?

Just starting out with Flash and have run into a problem. I have several scenes with buttons that can be pressed once and then they disappear using:
myBtn1.onRelease = function(){ this._visible=false}
But when I go back to the scene the buttons reappear. How can I make my buttons be gone forever?

if you have more than 1 button that should be made not visible at any given time, you'll need to use an array to store those button references. otherwise, you can use:
var alreadyRemoved:Boolean;
if(alreadyRemoved){
myBtn1._visible=false;
myBtn1.onRelease=function(){
this._visible=false;
alreadyRemoved=true;

How can I make a button (click) animate an object

Basically I want to make a button (nextscreen) which animates a rectangle (movie1) once it's clicked.
So far it doesn't work, anything I try gives me errors
for example I typed
nextscreen.onPress();
function fl_AnimateHorizontally_6(event:Event)
    Movie1.x += 10;
But it gives me the error
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 12
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method onPress through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
Apparently once I select my button and hit f9, I'm supposed to see the symbol of the button at the bottom but I can't so all my script is on a seperate layer called Actions and is all over the place
So I try to use code snippets and when I run my program with this code;
nextscreen.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_AnimateHorizontally_7);
function fl_AnimateHorizontally_7(event:Event)
    Movie1.x += 10;
My object animates but without me clicking the button
so what do I need to add so only when I click the object animates
Regards

If that's the case then you need to have clicking the button initiate a repeating function, which you can achieve using an ENTER_FRAME event listener.
nextscreen.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_AnimateHorizontally_7);
function fl_AnimateHorizontally_7(event:MouseEvent)
     nextscreen.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_AnimateHorizontally_7);
     this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveHalfway);
function fl_AnimateHorizontally_7(event:Event)
     if(Movie1.x <stage.stageWidth/2){
            Movie1.x += 10;
      } else {
            this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveHalfway);

How can i make a button link in flash??

Hey Guys,
Im pretty new to flash but really need your help and
guidance. I have a nice video ive created, and i want to make the
buttons link to certain pages on a website it will be displayed at.
If you want to see the flash video in place on the website,
visit www.loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk - i want to make the buttons
to link to the following pages.
button 1. www.loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk/index.php
button 2. www.loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk/about_us.php
button 3. www.loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk/
button 4.
http://loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk/account.php
button 5.
http://loveandmarriagebridal.co.uk/contact_us.php
Could anybody please tell me exactly what i need to do in
order to acheive that. I am using Flash CS3. Ive looked around the
net for a solution, but i honestly have no idea what im searching
for.
Your help would be very much appreciated
Thanks
Andy

See which form of ActionScript you used to make the site.
Open the Actions panel and see whether you've chosen AS versions 1
& 2, or AS 3. If you've picked the earlier versions, you can
attach a link easily to each button by clicking on the button, and
adding a little code in the Actions panel. Turn on ScriptAssist to
make it easier. Click on "on" and choose "release" or "press" or
both. Then scroll down the commands on the left and add getURL. You
will then have a few lines that say something like, on(Release)
getURL("putyourpageurlhere"). See bottom for exact syntax. That's
all. The new .html or .php page will load when the button is
clicked.
If your buttons are not actually four-state buttons, but
graphic or movie clip symbols, you will have do it a little
differently. Instead of attaching the code to a button, you attach
it to a keyframe. You give your symbol an instance name in the
property panel, then in the Actions panel create a function that
says essentially: when you click on this instance (onRelease)
getURL.
If you're using AS3, the concept is similar but the code is
different. With a quick search you can find dozens of code examples
that you can cut and paste.
Here's that AS2 button code...

How can I make the external hard drive my default to save everything on it?

Hi everyone,
I have a new Macbook with retina but I had to buy the one with lower Flash Disk space and faster processor,
but when I realized that I could buy external hard drives I bought one, so I was wondering if I could change the default Flash Drive to the external one so apps and all my files, music and content save in this one instead of the one inside the mac
thank you for your time

SSD is the internal flash memory.
Use SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner to "clone" (exact copy) the SSD to the external.
Then go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select the external HD as the startup disk.

How can I make the xfinity email app my default email for my 4s?

I have set up hotmail and yahoo email on my iPhone. They work fine and show all folders that are on my desktop on the Iphone. When I set up my comcast email it only will show the inbox and deleated folders. Comcast is my main email client and I need to see all of the same folders that are on my desktop on the Iphone. When I install the xfinity app on the Iphone all of the folders are available on the Iphone, but I can't make the xfinity email my default or primary email on the Iphone. Any Help??

That's correct, & why there is a separate app.

How can I make Navivation buttons remain coded through different scenes?

Ladies and Gents,
I am working on a flash website for an artist with a lot of work. In order to maintain my timeline clean and organized I have created multiple scenes to display the artwork.
There is a home button and a a main navigation bar (present in every scene)
there is also a sub navigation bar that leads to the artwork.
The code is very simple and constant for all the buttons:
btnHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, home);
function home(evt:Event):void{
    gotoAndPlay(1, "Home");
This works only in the scene where I first placed the code (Scene "Art"). The rest of the scenes give me this error
ArgumentError: Error #2108: Scene Home was not found.
    at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
    at Susan_Giles_MultipleScenes_Scene1999_fla::MainTimeline/home_1999()
I am very confused because flash can find the scene "Home" and the other 11 scenes from the scene ART, but it cannot locate them from any other scene.... what am I doing wrong?
I will appreciate all help.
Thanks in Advance.

One way would be to make the movieclip clickable. That would make it block the other objects behind it...
     mc.onRelease = function(){ }
     mc.useHandCursor = false; // to hide the hand cursor
Another way would be to disable the buttons while the movieclip is present...
     btn.enabled = false;
Another way would be to build conditional code into the button clicking code to not work if the movieclip is visible.
     btn.onRelease = function(){
          if(!mc._visible){
                // okay to do stuff

How Can I Make A "Main Chapter" Selection?

Hi!
I created my first movie project in iMovie and, with some help in these discussion boards, was able to produce a pretty good result. I created 16 chapter markers in iMovie which caused iDVD to create 3 submenus. That works fine but what concerns me is navigation of the final DVD. I can’t seem to find a way to have one Main Chapter Menu that would allow someone to navigate directly to any of the 3 submenus. Currently you have to go back to the Main Menu and the choose “Scene Selection” and then choose the forward button to step through each of the submenus. For instance, if you want to get to a button on the last submenu you would have to select the forward button of 2 submenus just to get there. Is there anyway to create one Main Chapter Menu that would allow direct access to any of the 3 submenus?
By the way, on a related note, I could not find a way to export the submenu titles so that I could print them on the back of the DVD. Is there any way to get that info out of iMovie or iDVD? I searched everywhere and finally gave up and typed them into the DVD software that I use to create the front, back and label for the DVD. Thanks in advance!

Can’t be done in iDVD 5.

How can I make navigation buttons textual instead of icons?

In pre-29 versions there was an option for this in the customise toolbar. It says 'Show:' with a drop-down menu next to it with the options icons, icon & text, text. I prefer this to be set to text but I don't see such an option in the customisaton menu for newer FF versions.

Hello,
Try using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] extension. After it is installed, you can go to:
*Tools > Classic Theme Restorer
To change the options for it, such as showing text instead of/alongside icons on your toolbars.
Please see [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]] for more information.
