Active State Button

I can't get my movie track button to change 'states'. It works fine on a computer. On a DVD deck it's impossible to know when a track has been selected. You can't tell when to push 'Enter' on the remote. Of course on a Mac, it's just point the mouse and click to make the track play.
My button is the movie track, dragged and dropped, so video track icon is also a button. I have tried to assign colors on the Normal, Selected and Active settings, but it doesn't show colors in the Simulator.
How do I get the button (movie track) to change when it is selected?

Thanks,

I changed my workflow to make the active state work. I added a button to the menu and then linked the button to the track media. When done that way, the buttons could display an active state for selecting a track using a deck remote.
I consulted my training DVD from macprovideo.com.

Photoshop Button in Active State Returns to Normal After Rollover?

Hello,
I'm working on a glossary reference website in Muse, and have hit a roadblock with my photoshop buttons.
I have created menu buttons in Photoshop that have two different states - one for active and rollover, and another for normal and down (the button is actually saved with four different layers/states, one for each, but for what the user will see, it's really only two options). I've used these menu buttons as rollover triggers for blank compositions, and when the user rolls over the button, the name of the page appears below it, and then disappears on rollout (otherwise the names would overlap and it would look very cluttered).
The issue that I have found is that, when I preview the page in my browser, the buttons appear to function properly in that they show up in the active state indicating that the page that they are linked to is the one that they are on.
Initial View - Home Page:
...and when I rollover the image of the page that I am currently on, the button shows the name of the page as desired, like so:
However, when I rollout, the button reverts back to the normal/down state, even though I am still on the home page.
Below is a screenshot of the composition settings that I have set up for this widget. I tried switching the "Hide Target" to none, but since the target is referring to the word "Home", the word "Home" remained visible in addition to the button remaining in the active state, which is not what I want. I also tried selecting "Triggers on Top", but the issue was not solved here either.
What am I missing? How can I make sure that my button remains in the active state when on the page that it is linked to?
Thanks for your help!

Sounds like a bug that's the fallout of the overloaded meaning of "Active" state. "Active" is both the state used for an item with a hyperlink applied that points to the current page (or an anchor point in the current scroll range on the current page) and the state used for a trigger or thumbnail in a Composition or Slideshow widget that corresponds to the a current active item in the composition or slideshow.
It appears we honor the hyperlink definition of "Active" on page load for a composition trigger with a hyperlink to the current page applied, but don't honor that definition of active when transition to having no items in the composition active (or presumable when transition to having a different item in the composition active).
The only workaround that comes to mind would be the very tedious approach of replicating this composition widget on each page, removing the hyperlink on the "active" trigger and manually formatting it's "Normal" state to appear active.
I've written up the bug. However, it may not get fixed immediately. (We tend to collect smaller fixes in an area and then address them all at once or when other changes are planned in that area, due to the overhead involved in ramping up to work on an area and thoroughly retest it after changes.)

I updated MUSE and now the anchors stop working after one click. Active state on the buttons are not working either. The vertical scroll also stops working. Is this a bug.

I updated to Adobe Muse 2014 and now the anchors on my site stop working on the page after one click. Vertical scroll and active state on the buttons also do not work. Is this a bug?

I am also dealing with an anchor that stopped working. I tried everything i can think of to make it work, but no luck so far. I hope to see a helpful response here. Thanks.

Button active state using compressed art

I have a PSD button placed in Muse, and noticed that after upgrading Muse to 6.0, that the "active" state of a button seems to be using severly compressed artwork. The other states all seem to be using non-compressed images. This may have been an issue in earlier builds, and I just may not have noticed it.
Thanks for any help.

Sorry, it's not live at the moment. But I can send you a copy of the file if that's any help?

Why would menu button's active state not work? Regardless if I import PSD button or use menu widget from the widget library.

I am using Adobe Muse CC (up-to-date) and tried to troubleshoot the following: Menu button's active state is not working, both on preview and after publishing. I tried many ways to place menu-designed buttons myself using photoshop and used widgets library (buttons, compositions, menus,etc.). Lastly, in regards to buttons, one of my menu buttons appear clear and crisp (psd button) and all others are blurry (though designed,saved and imported the same way);what could be the problem? Can anyone help?Thanks.

That line is for pop up message?You would typically use a tool tip for that.
The "Accessibility" features are different and I believe you need additional software to take advantage of them:

Creating an "active" state for a button

I am creating a page with six buttons that need to have an
active state when clicked, ie., the button currently clicked needs
to change colors to signify that it has been selected. Then it
needs to change back to its original color when another button is
clicked. Please help!! I am relatively inexperienced with coding so
any extra clarity in explaining is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I had originally posted this topic in the 'site design'
section, but it seems no one can be bothered to answer this one.
Please Help Me Out!

A workaround I like is using movieclips instead of buttons.
With actionscript they can act like buttons without being a button.
Just make a moviclip with keyframes, each frame being a different
button state.
Ex:
frame 1 - button off
frame 2 - button on
frame 3 - buton active
sample AS attached to frame:
button1.onPress = function(){
button1.gotoAndStop(3); //makes button 1 active
button2.gotoAndStop(1); //makes button 2 go to off state
button3.gotoAndStop(1); //makes button 3 go to off state
button1.onMouseOver = function(){
button1.gotoAndStop(2);
button1.onMouseOut = function(){
gotoAndStop(1);
My syntax may not be 100% correct, but the theory is there to
help you figure it out.

Retain activated state on a 'subtitles on' button

I have a main menu with 10 buttons to link to videos. On the same menu I have two buttons for 'subtitles on' and 'subtitles off'
Is it possible to retain the activated state of these buttons so that the viewer knows which button has been selected thus telling them whether subtitles are 'on' or 'off'
At the moment I seem to have to click twice at the buttons to get the 'activated' state which then disappears back to norman state if I roll over the other buttons on the menu.
Thanks in anticipation

Yes, this gets very complicated. I agree it would be nice, but the feature is just not there.
The better method is to have a single menu for the project that handles subtitles. The user can go there to see what the status is. Since it does not change until they change it, they usually don't need to be reminded on every menu.

Active state not working in scrolling site (with anchor links)

I'm design a scrolling site with anchor links and an horizontal menu on the top.
when i publish the site and click on the menu buttons the site scrolling to the place of the anchor but the active state in the menu is not working.
now... when i leave the main page (were the scrolling site is) and then return back to it all active states are working perfectly
anyone have this bug? or any one know how to fix it ?

Hmmm...I've just been playing around, and I think I got the Active State to work correctly. I think my problem was not understand what Active State means.
To answer your question, I was changing the Font Color and Box Fill Color of the Active State.
I did not understand that Active State means the look of the Menu Item when the PAGE is active. I thought it meant the look of the Menu item when the cursor is scrolling down the Menu (i.e. when the MENU is Active, not the page).
Look at this page for an example of what I'm trying to achieve...
http://www.pgavdestinations.com
When you hover over the "Work" menu item, and move the cursor down the menu, the state of "Work" remains changed until you move the cursor off of that menu column. It does NOT return back to it's Normal state until you are off of that menu column.
Is there a way to achieve this with the menu states in Muse?
Thanks for the replies!
Dave.

Issue with active state on navigation of vertical slide website. Please help!

Hey guys!
I'm using the Adtile vertical-slide example at http://www.adtile.me/fixed-nav/ and am having some issues with the navigation...
When I add nav buttons for external pages, the navigation active state doesn't follow through the menu to the active slide (it does on the external pages as I'm using a separate css selector PHP script though). Without the additional buttons for the external pages they work fine.
Here's the link to the working example WITHOUT the additional buttons for external pages.
Here's the link for the page WITH the additional buttons for external pages.
Does anyone know how I can get the active state to work for the slides section of the website?
Thank you!
SM

Try this:
.nav-collapse a:hover,
.nav-collapse a:active,
.nav-collapse a:focus {
background: #e8e8e8;

Prepared/Active state for a Resource adatper.

Hi All,
I am deploying a resource adapter and as soon as the adapter is deployed, though the weblogic page shows it to be in "Prepared" state but it gets started.
If I click on the "Start" button and the weblogic page shows it to be in "Active" state.
What does "Prepared" and "Active" state for a resource adapter signify?
And after this I am unable to stop the resource adatper. Clicking on the "Stop" button makes the status back to to "Prepared" but I can see the adapter still connected to the EIS.
So how to stop a resource adapter?

"Rollover active state" and "current marking"

I'd like to set in a menu, create with Edge Animate, a "current marking" function (url parameters).
Example:
1) a button in the menu with url "/en/compay.php";
2) the user click on the button in the home page (/index.php), but when open "/en/company.php" the button not more rollover but view only the "active state".
Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi, Iron ADDT-
Yes, you will need to do this by managing your state via variables or some equivalent. I have a general concept of saving state into variables in this blog post:
http://blogs.adobe.com/edge/2012/07/18/tutorial-leveraging-independent-symbol-timelines/
Search for "state management" and you can read a little bit more about how to save the variable.
Then, when your animation starts (or at any point), you can do a query on the status of the page or read a variable and then set your animation to the correct starting spot.
Hope that points you in the right direction!
Thanks,

Font is incorrect in active state

I have selected a specific font for a menu "active" state. I have also tried leaving it the same as the other states. No matter what I do I get this weird font once you click on the page and are then on that page ( I guess the active state). It should be geneva but it's some typewriter looking font and not what I selected. I have tried using other fonts it doesn't matter. Site is sdschoolofballet.com. Thanks for any help.
Gina

Yeah!!! that's terrible.
i used to build a site under MUSE V1 and when I updated to V2 the mess began!
I had to cancel all my slideshow because, without knowing why, they work under v1 but under V2 when you preview in a browser, the NEXT and PREVIOUS button don't work!!!
Thus I had to make another menu bar because it worked under V1 but under V2 even when NO border was selected between the different menus I had one appeared!
And finally I have the same bug as you do, my active state in the menu bar are either GEORGIE, or COMIC !!!!.
The worst in all that stuff is that menu bar is the new one, created under V2, and even if it choose "modify all", It doesn't work because if it would have done like that all my menu would have the same HELVETICA font under all states, and it's not right, some have HELVETICA, some COMIC, and some GEORGIA.
besides yesterday (the day I began to work with the V2 of muse, I had 3 crashes, but I never had even one with the V1 that looked more stable.
Thank you
PS/ I hope my english was at least a little bit clear.

Horizontal Menus "corrupt" in active state after upgrade to V2

   Sorry to add to the grief, but I've got a problem with the horizontal menu bars too. The "Active" state renders the following in the "Active" state. The bar was created (and is 'live' from) version 1 and it worked perfectly in Muse's preview and in browsers. I haven't tried much to correct this myself (though I'll list what I have done below) but I'd like to get some suggestions before I dive in.
   This is what I've tried so far:
Made sure the bar was on the on the bottom in the 'Z' axis
Made sure the bar was on the top in the 'Z' axis
Checked that the bar wasn't over-lapped by or over-lapping any other object(s).
Checked each button to make sure all Active States looked right.
   I'm not exactly a 'webbie' so I'm extra cautious about proceeding, expecially since the site in question isn't mine and is pretty important to the person it belongs to. I think I might try to re-build the bar while I await an answer here.

Hi,
Could you send us your Muse file at [email protected] with a link to this post?

Dotted line around image frame in active state mode.

In my active state, I have the button set to open in a new window once it's clicked on, which it does. But when I go back to the page, there is a dotted line around the image frame that doesn't go away. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
I believe you are using Firefox to view the site, as this occurs only on firefox.
This is a known issue on their end as the selection for page object remains when we return to page.
The details can be found on this link :
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector
where it is mentioned that they would be taking this off from Firefox 29 onwards.
From Muse we cannot control this as its a browser specific selector function.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Active States Not Working on Anchor Links?

Since updating to the newest version of Muse today, it seems that my parallax site's navigation button aren't displaying the "active" state once you scroll to an anchored position. This was working earlier today, it seems to be an issue with the newest version of Muse (v7.2, Build 230). Anyone else having this issue?
Here's a link to the site. http://www.hillcreative.net

I think this bug is back. I am using the latest Muse build.
When I go to add a menu (manual) from the widget menu, I can add in the names of the buttons without issue.
If I want to link out to other sites, no issue.
However, if I add anchor links, things fall apart.
It seems the first few links work without issue and with a fixed menu at the top, the page scrolls nicely to the area. However, I am noticing that the 4th and 5th button in a manual menu do not respond to active states and even the scrolling page navigation is wonky. The "team" and "contact" buttons never highlight, even when selected, nor do they navigate properly to the corresponidng anchor link.
I have moved the anchor links deeper down the page to see if this makes a difference and it doesn't. It is as if the menu can't pick up the anchor points.
I addition, when viewed on iOS devices (although not optimized) I get 2 active states selected in the menu.
I think the script for this widget needs revisiting. Please advise.
Here is a link to my temporary example:
http://jbrubaker.fatcow.com/warwick/index.html
The active state only shows up for the first 3 buttons...weird.
(Windows 7 / All latest browers)
Thanks!
