Auto-hide playbar

Hi,
Is there a way to autohide the playbar in the published files? I would like the playbar to appear only when the mouse is over the area where the playbar should be, something similar to 'auto-hide the taskbar' on the desktop.

Some confusion with Vish, he did not see I was answering and also preparing a blog post. Here is the work flow in short, will post the link to the blog post where I will have an example and screenshots, when it is published.
First, grab a copy of Chris Dorna's widget to hide the close button on the slidelet, it is free:
HideSlideletClosebox
Configure the playbar and the borders so that the playbar is in overlay mode (will be on top of the slide instead of below the slide) and that no borders are showing.
for the first slide, on Enter Side attach the action Assign cpCmndShowPlaybar with 0 to hide the playbar
insert two rollover slidelets: make sure that the stroke is set to 0 and that the color is set to the color of the background or configure its style in the Object style manage so that no border, nor runtime border is shown
size the first rollover slidelet to approximate the size of the playbar, the second you put little bit higher and attach the rollover actions to change the variable to 1 for the first, to 0 for the second
insert Chris' widget and configure it to hide the close button for both slidelets
You have to repeat the last 3 actions for all the slides, easy with copy/paste but you'll have to edit the HideSlideletClosebox properties to adapt to the new ID of the slidelets.

Adjustment Panel Auto Hide Configuration

Hi,
in Lightroom 3, it is very easy to accidentally hide the adjustment panels when trying to scroll them up or down.
This happens when one attempts to click on the adjustment panel slider but instead accidentally hits the area immediately to its right, referred to as "Adjustment Panel Auto Hide Area" in the following discussion. This area shows a little arrow and is used to hide and show the adjustment panels.
Usability improvement suggestions:
1) Allow the user to disable the auto-hide feature of the adjustment panel via Edit / Preferences... / Interface / Adjustment Panel.
2) Dito, but configuration of the auto-hide feature via a new entry in the context-sensitive menu of the Adjustment Panel Auto Hide Area. The menu could offer a new checkbox "Auto Hide Toggle". If enabled, the current default behaviour is active and a left click in the Adjustment Panel Auto Hide Area shows or hides the Adjustment Panel. If disabled, a left click has no effect.
In my workflow, I use two screens. One screen shows the image in full size, the other one shows the various adjustment panels which I never switch off. I just scroll them up or down. Being able to toggle the current default behaviour would make the product more usable to me.
Thanks
Christian

That is great!! I have done every steps of the tutorial but I have a problem:
When I hide the playbar, the animation is paused and when the mouse is over the playbar , the animation continue.
What do you think about it?

Full screen auto-hide feature does not work with Adobe Acrobat Reader add-on 11.0.0.379 in Firefox 17.01.

"Full screen" menu item and its keyboard short cut F11 stop working with Acrobat Reader. The Firefox top edge border does not hide once you have moved around in the Acrobat document. Therefore it is not possible to display PDF documents in a true full screen mode within Firefox. The auto-hide full screen mode works nicely with other Firefox windows, so apparently the Acrobat Reader add-on breaks the feature. Windows 7 64-bit.

From the JS API Reference of the print method:
Non-interactive printing can only be executed during batch, console, and menu
events.
Outside of batch, console, and menu events, the values of bUI and of interactive are ignored
and a print dialog box will always be presented.

SAP Signature Design & Task Bar Auto-Hide Feature

Hi Experts,
I'm having a problem with SAP Business One 8.8 PL18 using the new 8.8 SAP Signature Design. We are in a business with 4 professionals and 1 CRM. When we use the SAP Signature Design Skin Style and you have SBO maximized on the screen and you have Windows auto-hide the Task bar. You can't go back to the task bar with your mouse to switch applications or to just go to your start menu. The only way you can make the task bar appear is by pressing the "window key" to make the task bar display. To change applications, you can still use the "Alt Tab feature". If I put the Skin Style to Classic Mode, everything works great with no apparent display problems.
I've tried this on 3 different operating systems. Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server and the same results. The task bar won't re-pop up if you move your mouse down to it (I tried moving the task bar to the left, top or right to see if that made a difference, and it didn't). I've been using the "Window Key" for now to make the task bar pop up (display), but I think it's a bug with the skin style and not the operating system.
I've tried to get this resolved with our partner, but I don't think they understand the problem, or are just not willing to acknowledge the problem. They probably think it is a petty problem. We all like the new design and would like to use it properly while still having the task bar auto-hide.
The question actually is, do you know of this problem, is there something I can disable or do to get it to work (ie: make it run with compatibility mode to something) or do I just have to live with this problem?
I thank you very much in trying or helping me with this problem

Hi Ron,
Welcome you post on the forum.
I don't have the same version to test. Based on your detailed explanation, I do think it is probably a bug. Since it may not be used by many users, it could have low priority to be fixed even if it is confirmed to be a bug.
Thanks,
Gordon

ITunes 10.5.0.142 prevents 'auto-hide' task bar reappearing on scroll-over at page bottom when ITunes home page is up. Task bar appears and hides fine on other windows. OS: Win 7.

In Windows 7 my latest ITunes version won't let the 'autohide' feature work for my task bar. I have mine set at the bottom of all pages, and they all work when the Itunes page is up. But not the ITunes home page itself. The task bar is gone, and won't appear on scroll-over.
Look, I'm not going to kill myself over it. I just have to minimize the IT page to get to another task bar.
But I like my auto-hide and won't disable it, and I like what's been done with the new version of IT and - of course - won't get rid of that. I just want them to live together happily ever after.
Thank You in Advance for Your Time;
Curt

Dock not showing in auto hide

Hi,
My dock is set to auto-hide, and I am using spaces. however my dock does not always show when in put my cursor at the bottom, I have to swap to and from another space to get the dock to show or unhide.
My hot corners are also not working.
any suggestions, spaces bug?
Thanks

could be a bad preference file.
move the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to the desktop. then restart dock by entering the following in terminal
killall Dock
this will reset your dock to the default and might fix the problem.

Auto/Hide with Flv playback doesn't work with javascript lightbox, need help?

Hi everyone,
i created some swf loading a flv file in a flv playback and
check on the auto/hide parameter. When i test the movie it works
very well. BUT, in my website, i put those swf files in Lightbox
(javascript computed) and when the mouse goes Over the flash video,
it shows the Skin player and when the mouse goes Out, the Skin
player stays over the video!? Why? Does someone has an idea on how
to force the auto/hide paramater in this case?
Thanks for your help

Found this post when searching for an answer, but didn't find much elsewhere so I'll post my quick and ugly solution here. I'm sure it can be vastly improved, but I didn't have much more than 5 minutes. Note - setting .visible to false just ended up causing the autohide transition to occur over and over, so instead I'm just temporarily moving the whole sprite offscreen.
(AS3, using CS5 component... note that 'player' is the FLVPlayback instance):
//### force 'autohide' when mouse inactive
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1500, 0);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
timer.start();
var skinSprite:DisplayObject;
var prevMouseX:Number;
var prevMouseY:Number;
function onTimer(e:TimerEvent):void {
//get skinSprite if we haven't already
if(!skinSprite) {
    var child:DisplayObject;
    for(var i:Number = 0; i < player.numChildren; i++) {
      child = player.getChildAt(i);
      if(i == 2) { //this is the skinSprite
        skinSprite = child;
//check to see if mouse hasn't moved since last timer event
if(skinSprite && mouseX == prevMouseX && mouseY == prevMouseY) {
    skinSprite.y = -1000;
prevMouseX = mouseX;
prevMouseY = mouseY;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, stage_onMouseMove);
function stage_onMouseMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(skinSprite) {
    skinSprite.y = 0;

(Chrome Like) Auto-Hide Tab bar in Safari Full Screen mode

Is there a plugin or some other way to auto hide the tab bar in Safari fullscreen mode like the way Chrome does?
This is the only thing stopping me from using Safari, it's way smoother than Chrome and feels much more native to Lion, but the fact the tab bar just keeps hanging there is annoying.
I tried the Cmd+I method mentioned in the community, but it only works when you're only opening one tab, if you open several tabs, the tab bar will show up again. It also comes back up once you exit Full Screen mode.
Thanks for your help !

Hello myzzzl, this is normal behavior in full screen mode, you can set the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.fullscreen.autohide browser.fullscreen.autohide] in about:config to False, to change that, but if you do that tabs and location bar is enabled in full screen mode.
wait if another contributor/helper give you a code which I don't know.
thank you

Safari always auto-hide bars, always: also in normal screen mode (not full-screen, which is when autohide happens)

Bookmark bar is auto hidden in fullscreen mode, how to keep same functionality in normal mode out of full-screen?
In full-screen I just have the main toolbar showing, which is how I want it all the time. This or either make "full-screen" a lot better.

Hmm, i think i phrased original question badly, i am looking for auto-hide to be featured in normal window mode as well as fullscreen, and whatever else designers and programmers can dream up and not execute poorly.
I have now disabled all EXTENSIONS and removed all 3rd party bars (google, sharethis, never used nayway;) and as my suspicions confirmed Safari is running much better. I was very suspicious of this when it was added as it seemed like trying to match Firefox, which I also gave up some time ago in place of Chrome as my second browser, although I use Safari for 90%. The extensions i think causes freezing when i had Parallels running a Windows VM at the same time and also other times when not.
The extensions is a bit stupid in my opinion as any niggling, minor feature of a website should be addresses to the website rather than the browser. Where adverts are concerned, well, just use the web less or more specifically!
I think I'm fine with Toolbar/URL-search and bookmark bar, its great - simple and not intrusive. I believe EXTENSIONS introduction gave me some sort of weird mental outlook and would urge Apple to be more careful in bringing in different types of features unnecessarily.

Hide playbar – problem

Hi,
I have a project where I don’t want the playbar on the first slide where is the title of the course and the Company logo.
I use the Variables feature of Cp to show/hide playbar.
But when I launch the preview or the output file .exe the playbar appears just for an instant like a flash on the first slide.
No transition on the first slide and “fade in on the first slide”in Preference is unchecked.
The same occurs if the output is swf.
I notice that if I click on “rewind”button of the playbar during the project or at the end, the project starts again and the playbar is not visible on the first slide!
It's annoying the flash of the playbar
How can I solve the problem
I’ve Elearning suite 6 with Cp 6.0.1.240 – Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
Anyone has an idea ?
thanks in advance
Elena57

Hi Elena,
I don't think that there is any way to avoid this "flash" unfortunately. The first slide must load completely before any events or actions are executed and therefore the playbar will load and display before the command to hide it is executed.
Perhaps try to experiment with "Fade in" on your first slide to see if you can minimize the flashing.

A How to turn off auto hide tools/panles

So Flash 9 has a new feature that is annoying me : it likes
to auto hide the tools/panels.
apparently Flash is turning this feature on at at random. I
realize that I must be accidentally hitting some hot key that turns
it on, but I can't find how to stop it. It's rather annoying.
How do I disable the auto-hide for the tools and panels?

Just go to settings, view, toolbars autohide.

Does the pdf gets saved when you paste the same url into a browser-window "by hand" ?
If you don't want to show the url you could create a java-class which just opens a http-connection, import it using the Java-Importer and call it on the application-server

How do you auto hide the finder menu bar

Prior to Mavericks, I could auto hide the finder menu bar by inserting:
<key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>
<integer>4</integer>
in the finder info.plist after accessing core services/finderapp/contents/resources, but now in the Mavericks OSX, I receive the following error message:
"Finder Quit Unexpectantly" and a list of various reasons; codes; etc too long to list here. Is auto hiding the finder menu bar even doable anymore in this operating system, and if so what is the solution?

How do you reverse that process? I was trying it with various apps, substituting the app name in the terminal command and it worked great until I got to the "Notes" app. I think it messed up how notes synced with iCloud.
Thanks

Auto-hide

Dear Community. I am playing a "window-mode" game in which takes up the full resolution for my screen. In order to compensate for the room needed at the bottom of the screen I have chosen to "auto-hide" the task bar. I have chosen to stay in window mode because I would like to be able to travel around while playing this turn-based game. So then, I choose to work on other workspaces. My question is, can I have auto-hide turned off on say workspace2 while on, on workspace1?

What window manager are you using?
Auto-hiding some panel sounds like gnome.
If so you will not be able to adjust auto-hiding in different ways for different panels since gnome only distinguishs between lets say one panel on the bottom and one on the top edge of the screen (at least as far as I know).
