Bitmap buttons with changing bitmaps

Hallo!
In my Project I am using dasylab to control some switches. I am using the binary outputs to switch them on and off.
Now I have found the possibility to use bitmaps in buttons, that worked very well. I had an idea: Some switch operations prohibit the switching of other switches. Now i am using global strings for the bitmap path in the button settings. With an action module i tried to change the path for the bitmaps, so that the buttons are "greyed", so that is obvious that you can´t switch them any more. But sadly Dasylab is not changing the bitmaps during the measurement. The Bitmap is not changing until I am going into the options and clicking the path and saving it.
Any ideas how to solve this? Is this generally possible?
Thanks and have a nice day
Hilby

Hmmm. Yeah. I see that.
Let me investigate. I can get it to change only if I open the module properties and click into the bitmap setting.
This may well be a limitation of the module, where the string is only read at Measurement Start, or, apparently, when the properties are saved.
For now... you may be out of luck on this clever approach.

PSD Rollover Button with image in front stops button from changing state

I have a wide PSD button that changes state when rolled over. I would like to place a PNG image with transparency in some areas over the top of it so that the rollover button shows through the transparent areas of the PNG.
How can you get it to do the rollover effect when the user mouses over the bit of the button that the image is in front of? Is ther a way of making the PNG 'invisible' to the mouse?
I know I could redesign the button so that it includes the image but I'm trying to keep file sizes and load times to a minimum, I use this button a lot on my website with a different on each, and having that number of individual buttons would result in a bloated, slow-loading website.

Hi Abhishek
Thanks for your reply. I was able to achieve the effect I wanted by having the PNG and the PSD Button with the same link and then grouping them. This means I can mouse over the PNG and still get the PSD rollover effect, which is perfect.
However I also have another similar problem. I have some different PSD Rollover Buttons which have some text in front of them (basically it's the button label). On some of these buttons when you roll over the text it prevents the rollover state of the button, and on other buttons the rollover effect occurs as it should, and there doesn't appear to be any consistency about which does what. Grouping or ungrouping doesn't appear to make a difference. Can you help?

Button with Javascript appearance changed.

Hi,
I created button with javascript from
Re: Button and Function
Everything works fine, But button looks different now
No appearance of button is there & button label is displayed in orange color.
Have i missed something or i will never like original.

I have done some changes suggested by ATD for another thread.
In your app, through Shared Components, Templates create a new button template based on a copy of an existing one (pick whichever existing template you prefer, the normal Button may be ok). When the new template is created, edit it. You should see something like the following in the "Template" setting:
a href="#LINK#" class="t12Button" #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#>#LABEL#</a
There may be other HTML around this, but this is the important part as it is the actual button itself. Change this to:
a href="#" class="t12Button" #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#>#LABEL#</a
Now, on your button on the page, change it to use your new button template. In the Button Attributes setting, add in:
onclick="javascript:checkText();"
everything works fine except appearance of button.

Although I set the on/off switch to ON with "change with buttons," the alerts will not change individually. Any suggestions?

I'm having issues with the alerts volume control.
Although I set the on/off switch in settings to ON with "change with buttons", the alerts volume will not change individually. Any suggestions?

I don't mean to be rude or anything but did you check to see if it's on hold? I had the same problem, I nearly worked myself to tears trying to figure out why it wouldn't turn off! hope you fix you're problem.
P.S.-Maybe you should just let the batery run out till it goes dead, hey, then it will be off right?

My husban raises the volume and as soon as he keys go if the button it immediately decreases. He had restarted several times and nothing changes. He has cleaned around the buttons with a soft brush.

My husband's 4s will not hold he volume in the loud position. Every time he raises the volume and as soon as he lets go of the button it immediately decreases. He had restarted several times and nothing changes. He has cleaned around the buttons with a soft brush. No luck. Ideas?

IPad is only works with changer , when I unplug it's not working

My iPad 3 is only works with changer when I unplug it's not working and not connecting to the PC even please some help?

Hi,
"But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about."
If you want it to be colored, you'll need to create a color-palette for the 8bppIndexed bitmaps. The keyword for this process is "Color-Quantization".
The whole yellow-green pie you get is from the wrong format. If you convert the 32bpp bitmaps to 24 bpp bitmaps, you loose the alpha channel ("transparency"). You can manually set one color to "transparent" with the mMakeTransparent-method
of the Bitmap class, or simply use gif-images (they are 8bpp with a transparent "key"-color)

Making a button with a picture

I'm trying to make a button with a picture I made in photoshop.. but the problem is that the background is transparent, I just want the main part to be clickable.
Here is an example.. I just want the purple part to be clickable. The box around that is the actually whole image. So how can I fix this?

if you are using a simple button with up / over / down / hit frames do the following.
add a new layer to your button's timeline above the bitmap
in the up keyframe of this new layer draw a circle the same size and position of the purple starburst.
select the circle and cut the the circle (cmd-x or cntrl-x)
delete the layer you just made
make sure there is a keyframe in the hit frame of the remaining layer (f6)
if the bitmap is in the hit frame, delete it.
with the hit frame selected do a paste in place: cmd-shift-v or cntrl-shift-v
now you should have only the vector circle shape in the hit frame of the button.
now your button will only respond to mouse events when you rollover where the circle is.
the reason i had you add a new layer is because when you draw vectors in the same layer / frame as a bitmap, the vectors go behind the bitmaps and are hard to select, see, or modify.

How to create a radio button that changes colors

I'm using Acrobat X and ID CS5 on Mac OS X.
A couple of years ago someone on the forums explained to me how to create a button that changes color with each click. You can view a sample PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle.pdf. They gave me the document JS and showed me how to set the properties of the button. I've integrated the button into a particular series of PDF forms and it's worked out very well.
Now I would like to do the same thing, but using a circle instead of a square. Can anyone tell me the best way to do this? Can I somehow set a radio button to cycle through colors in the same way? I design my forms initially in ID CS5 and then activate and format the fields in Acrobat X. I've tried using circles instead of squares in my ID document, but when I export to an interactive PDF, they're converted to squares.
Any ideas?

I understand how to make buttons cycle through colors-- the problem I'm having is that I'm trying to figure out how to make a circular button cycle through colors. When I export my ID document to PDF, my round button maintains it's original appearance, but when I click on it to cycle through the colors, it behaves like a square (see new PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle2.pdf).
If I use a radio button, I can get it to cycle through colors, but I don't want it to have a black dot in the middle. Is there a way to format the radio button to not show the black dot when clicked?

Radio Button with Submit Ready Only problem

Hello,
My radio button with submit ready only condition doesn't work correctly. When I click the a link on the first page
it brings me to an update page. I have a radio button with submit, that won't open as a read only.
It is being populated by SQL query, with the Null option selected. When I open the page I don't want the user to be able to edit the field unless they delete records associated with the field. Pretty much I want it to be disabled if the user has a record associated with it.
Here are the queries.
Source:
SELECT OPLAN_IMPACTED_I
FROM DFCY
WHERE DFCY_SEQNO = :P12_DFCY_SEQNO
Read only condition:
SQL Exists query
SELECT o.dfcy_seqno
FROM oplan_impactd o, dfcy d
WHERE o.dfcy_seqno = :p12_dfcy_seqno
and :P12_OPLAN_IMPACTED_I = d.OPLAN_IMPACTED_I
and :P12_OPLAN_IMPACTED_I = 'Yes'
So when the page renders it's like you can change oplan, how do I make it read only when the page renders?
Thanks,
Mary

Hi,
If that is the source of the radiogroup, then it should be:
SELECT OPLAN_IMPACTED_I d, OPLAN_IMPACTED_I r
FROM DFCY
WHERE DFCY_SEQNO = :P12_DFCY_SEQNOThis should return two values for each radio button - the displayed text and the returned value. If your radios do not have a returned value, then "Yes" will never be found. You can check this by loading the page and doing a View Source on it - search for RADIO and check what "value" attributes they have.

Mapping with changed message structure

Hello,
I have dowloaded a SAP IDOC into XI and build a mapping based on this IDOC.
Now the IDOC is enhanced with a new (Z)segment and I have dowloaded the new structure again.
But the new segment is not visible in the mapping based on that IDOC.
Do I have to create a new mapping???
Or how can I refresh the mapping, so that the new segment can be used there?
best regards
Werner Magerl

Hi Werner,
Check the following:
1.Name of the Imported OLD IDoc structure and the new one.
find out whether they are same.
2.In your existing message mapping, make sure you have used the newly imported Idoc structure.
In the edit mode of your message mapping, click on the button with a "hand and question mark".Navigate to the software component> software component version> Imported objects>Idocs>"select your new IDoc structure".
If the are any new mapping to be done for the Z segment, do it.
3.save and activate changes.

A button with more than one label... how?

hi everyone!!
i have a little problem... i have to create a button with 3 labels... and i've no idea about how... i tried to add labels to button but it's not permitted... plz tell me how to reach a result like this:
              | label1                                              |
              |                                                     |

              ------------------------------------------------------thx guys!!

i must change labels often... so i don't think is a good solution to use an image or a piece of html... i'd love to use java simple components...
thx anyway :)

Instead of using image in a link column can we have button with name?

Hi,
In Apex , in report region instead of using image in a link column can we have button with name?
Thanks,
Anoo..

From your wording, it sounds like you used the built-in column link within APEX. You will need to edit your column and remove that so that the column is only containing the definition that is coming from the query (you can also just change the alias used for the column and then the old column with the link will be removed and the new alias will be added against your new button column).

How make menu button with unrolling thumbnails in as 3.0??

Hello

if samobody have some ideas how can I do this or somting similar using as 3.0 I will be grateful

The only way to convert it to AS3 is to go thru it and replace the code as needed. While some code may not have to change, quite a bit of it will. Your best bet for getting thru it is to build it up from scratch one object at a time and get each coded as you go. Otherwise you will be overwhelmed with error messages. Here's a few pointers.
All code is AS3 has to be placed on the timeline. You cannot place code "on()" objects. So each object needs an instance name.
Any interaction or event handling such as mouse controls and file loading involve event listener/event handler pairs. So you will want to start with looking into the addEventListener() method, which is pretty much used globally for any/all event processing.
When it comes to loading external swf files, you want to use the Loader class.
To determinine how to make the code work, I recommend using a practice file. A file that you can implement one codig sequence in at a time just to determine what works.
Converting this to AS3 will be a good exercise for you on the road to learning it. When I wanted to start learning AS3 that's pretty much what I did, though with the sole purpose of the learning as my goal. I took a fairly complicated menu design that I had created first in AS2, and then rebuilt it from the ground up using AS3.

Button not changing in frame 3

I have made a button with sound and a text that I want to change after the user clicks on it. In the button-symbol I have one layer for sound and one for shape. When the user click the sound is OK and the link to the URL I have stated is opened. Fine. But the button do not change as I drawn it in frame "down" in the four-frame timeline - I want the button to have another text when clicked.

if you're asking how you can make your button stay in the "down" frame until another button is clicked, you can't with a true button. you must use movieclip buttons.
