Attaching Scripts to Buttons

I have a button displayed as Zoom In in the Basket panel:
HERE
When I attach this script to the button:
on (release, keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
The mouse release works fine but when I try the keyboard for
keyPress, nothing happens. Anyone got any ideas as to what I am
doing wrong?

hi,
i think handling keyboard-input works different ->
1. there is (as far as i know) no Event "keyPress" (they are
"onKeyDown" and "onKeyUp")
2.You´ll first have to create a Listener-Object which
has functions "onKeyDown" or "onKeyUp" or both:
var objListener = new Object();
objListener.onKeyDown = function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE){
// do whatever
3. You have to register that Obj as Listener to the Keyboard:
Key.addListener(objListener);
that should do.
cheers,
tom

Error in action script and button

I have a page that i have designed for practice. i have three
buttons on each page and have been tring to get them to link to the
proper page/frame. For instance the button for ABOUT US should link
to the second page/frame. The code i am using is as follows.
on (release) {gotoAndStop(2);
This should have it go to page/frame 2 and stop but when i
test it it gives me this error.
Scene 1, Layer 'about', Frame 1, ... 1087: Syntax error:
extra characters fou... on (release) {gotoAndStop(2);
I am using action script 1.0 & 2.0. I am not sure what to
do.

The way that this function is written, on (release), it
should be
directly attached to a button or movieClip instance. However,
the
gotoAndStop(2) command is telling the button or clip to go to
frame 2,
not the main timeline. If you change that line to
_parent.gotoAndStop(2), you'll get the playback head on the
main
timeline to move, not the playback head in that button or
clip.
A far better method is to assign instance names to each
button or
movieClip that you want to react to actionscript. Then you
can write the
function(s) for those instance names. You would write the
actionscript
to a frame instead of directly on the button or clip. This
makes the
actionscript much easier to find when you need to edit.
So, for instance, you could then write a set of functions to
move the
playback head. Something like this:
// we'll assume that the buttons are named button1, button2,
button3
button1.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(X);
button2.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(Y);
button3.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(Z);
// where X,Y and Z are the frame numbers that you want to
move to
// you don't need an explicit reference for the timeline for
the
playback head to use here. The code and the objects are all
on the same
timeline.

KEEPING the ACTOR but DELETING the attached SCRIPT on ENTERFRAME

Hi, new in this forum.
Lets put it that way...On frame 50, I've got on the score 25
buttons that are handled by 25 different(but similar) property
scripts. These buttons could be enabled(checked) or unchecked. Now,
when i'm going on frame 100, I compile in a linear list all the
sprites that have been clicked. Then, using those sprite numbers,
i'm trying to keep the actor(button) on the scene(score) on their
checkep state, but i want that the checked buttons would be now
impossible to click for the user. (like once you've clicked and
pass the frame 101, the state of the button won't change even if
you click on it.
Please find here an example of a script that is attached to a
button in the Attached Code.
Thank you for helping me...kind of a big headache for
me.

Sorry, don't have time to read through all your code, but
what you want
to do sounds pretty simple. If I understand you correctly,
simply set a
global variable in frame 100 to tell the other sprites
they're no longer
active. Something like this for your frame script:
global gclickable
on exitFrame me
gclickable = false
end
Then in each button have it look for that same global
variable.
Something like this:
global gclickable
on mouseUp me
if gclickable = true then
do whatever you want here
end if
end
Then you'd just need to remember to set gclickable to true up
near frame
50 so that the buttons would actually do something when you
wanted them to.
Hope that helps.

Making 'attach to email' button as a hyperlink has disappeared in acrobat X pro

hi
I have upgraded to Acobat X pro from Acrobat 8 (CS3). I make brochures in indesign and then add some buttons in acrobat that can't be done in indesign. One button I nake is a 'attach to email' button. I can no longer see this option in create a link/custom link/actions/add
can someone please advise how I can still do this as my client still wants this button on the back page of all their brochures so they customers can easily pass the brochure onto someone else

no, this is not what I need
Your screen dumps are to show where you can attach a pdf to an email from the file menu in a pdf. This is not what I want
I use the draw a button using the 'link' tool in acrobat
this tool opens a dialogue box called create a link and I choose
custom link which opens another dialogue box and I choose
the action tab, selct an action 'add' and choose from the options here except pro x has had the 'attach to email' action removed
I need to get this in order to make a button on the pdf that a customer can click and then send the pdf to an email address that they enter

How to know the program attached to each button ?

Hello,
When I press on various buttons in SAP various ABAP programs/functions are launched/executed. How can I know the name of the program/functions that is attached to these buttons? I want to debug through these programs/functions because they have functionalities similar to the ones I want to implement so I want to get access to these ABAP programs but how?

Hi,
You can debug and identify..
Before pressing the button..Press /h in the command field to start the debugger..
Then press the button..
It will take you in the degugging mode..
Thanks,

I have five buttons with audio attached to each button. When I publish in html5 and test the buttons the audio cuts out at random times. Any suggestions. I have the latest version of Adobe Captivate 7

Can someone please help me with this problem I cannot see how simply attaching audio to a button can be so problematic. I have no idea how to fix this.

I am using CP8 and have found similar issues. When using the responsive project, my slides with multiple buttons have audio attached via advanced actions that will cut out if a user attempts to click another button before the first has finished playing. When the user listens to the entire audio file attached to the button, there are no issues with audio btw. I have tried attaching it to the button, but it plays when the button appears rather than on success. Furthermore, setting it to play audio on success is a problem because there are multiple actions that must be completed for each button. I have also found that setting audio any other way besides through advanced actions can create an audio overlap of more than one audio file. I haven't been able to find a way to time the advanced action or slide so that the user cannot click through the buttons without hearing all of the audio first.
Any ideas on how to get around this problem would be fantastic if it doesn't require an entire rewrite. If I wasn't already 86% through the course development, I would use buttons to initiate branching scenarios which would fix a lot of my issues, but don't want to start over at this point.

Script single button to play frames, then skip some, and continue play?

Just as the topic says, I want to script a button to go to
and play through a motion tween, but then skip some frames to then
play another motion tween all in one button press. For example,
play frame 1 which plays the tween and ends at frame 10 (I have
that part down fine) but then for it to skip ahead to continue to
play frame 20 and then of course stop once it finishes that motion
tween.
Tried a few searches but its too many words to explain so I
wasnt finding anything. Its probably a simple command im just not
familiar with yet. Can anyone help?

I probably should have been more specific. I cant add
anything to the timeline because I have multiple buttons using the
first tween, which is a fade out. Thats why I need a script to add
to each button only to play through that first common tween, and
then skip to play an individual tween set for each button. Like
button 1 goes through the first common tween, a fade out (plays
frames 41 - 53) and its individual tween is frames 54 - 66. This
works fine of course because the tweens are next to each other.
Button 2's individual tween starts on frame 67, so it needs to play
through the common tween fade (41 - 53) skip Button 1's frames, and
continue play on 67. These buttons are located on frame 1 (main
menu) so is it even possible to script a button to do such a thing?
I figured there would be but nothing im trying or seeing online is
working. Heh... does this make sense? :o
The only other way I know it will work is if I copy and paste
all the information in the layers before each section but that
causes me to have to push a lot of information further down the
timeline, kinda making a big mess and causing me to rescript all
frames there.

Attaching sound to button

Hello, am entirely new to java .I pick up an interest sometimes last year and had been willing to produce my first set of work on a project but i dont seem to know what to do.

Am eagerly awiting all suggestion.
Regards
Temi

check out Java Media Framework (JMF) to play music.
attaching sound to button?
do you mean play the sound when user click on the button?
if so, attach an ActionListener to the button and use JMF to play your music file.
here's an example to help you get started:
JButton mediaButton1 = new JButton("Media 1");
mediaButton1.addActionListener(new MediaButtonListener());
class MediaButtonListener implements ActionListener, ControllerListener{
    public void actionPeformed(ActionEvent e){
        // you should kick this off in a separate Thread
        Player player = null;
        MediaLocator media = new MediaLocator("file:" + "mySound.wav");
        try {
            player = Manager.createPlayer(media);
            player.addControllerListener(this);
            player.realize();
        catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(1);
    public synchronized void controllerUpdate(ControllerEvent evt) {
        if (evt instanceof EndOfMediaEvent) {
            System.out.println("Play finished");
        else {
            System.out.println(evt.toString());
}

Enable/view subs - pre-scripts or button properties?

You have a number of ways in DVDSP to enable/disable subtitles for a Track.
Mostly, I use SetSystemStream in a pre-script for a Track, and then I use SPRM8/GPRM5.
But, given that you have separate buttons (play with subs, play without subs) you can also use button properties for the subs.
Somewhere way back, I was told by HalMcLean that pre-scripts sometimes can cause problems - but I don't remember if that was particularly with subs or rather other parameters.
What way would you guys go? Script or button?

Hal,
Nice to see you again.
So, what do you suggest? Setting the subs in the button properties, or rather use a script with a jump to the Track (where you set the system stream before the jump)?
For this qick job I actually used a pre-script in the single Track (systemstrrem sub on/off) and it seemed to work fine in both Simulator, Apple DVD player and three different hardware DVD players.
Fingers crossed....

Attach script to a button/tool

I accidentally posted this in the photoshop list. oops. anyway...
I have several scripts that I use all the time and I was wondering if I
could create custom buttons/tools that would execute these scripts,
rather than going through the file>scripts menu?
sam

No, not like in InDesign, for example.
The workaround is to include the scripts inside an action, but then - as a special service - you will lose the scripts in that action as soon as you quit and relaunch Illustrator.

Possible to Parse on(...) Script in Buttons ?

Hi everyone,
I've a "little" Problem that goes beyond my ActionsScript 2 Knowledge so I hope anybody has an Idea or can confirm that what I need to do isn’t possible.
I got an existing Flash-Project written with ActionScript 2 in this Project is a Graphic with lots of Buttons on it. Each Button has "on(...) {}" Script's assigned, in this Script are "getURL"-Functions that call JavaScript and within that JavaScript-Function-Call (a String passed to getURL) the JavaScript Function get's an ID as Parameter.
Now, I ‘am supposed to write a Script that "walks" recursively trough this Flash-Project and collects all these ID's that are Parameters of the JavaScript-Function-Call.
So what I've done so far is a Function that can recursively walk through the Flash-Project and find every Button this way. But now I don't know (and don't think it's possible) how to get the ID out of the JavaScript-Function-Call.
To get you in the Picture, here is an Example Code that is associated to one of these Buttons:
on(release) {
getURL("javascript:do_something_with_id(275)");
My Script knows that Button but, I don't know if I can somehow find out that there is a "275" as ID.
Any Ideas or at last a "This is not Possible" ?

Not really but you can combine text and images on pages in the book tool or in a pinch use the local adjustment brushes to "draw" rudimentary things via radical exposure or curves adjustments.
