Buddy Menu Question

Hi all,
I recently downloaded the Buddy Menu xtra as an alternative
to the very expensive starsoft starmenu xtra. However, i find it
difficult to figure out how to do the simplest thing of all...
change the size of the text in the displayed menu. If you have used
this xtra please help me, i really don't want to go and buy the
startmenu xtra... my menus are extremely simple to justify this
amount of money...
Many thanks

I'd hardly call 99$ for a sw Xtra expensive. Haven't tested
either of the
mentioned products, but I do know that creating a multi-level
context menu
is much harder than it may seem.
Furthermore -and mostly speculating here- the number of
director developers
does not allow much room for luxuries of e.g. 20$ xtras. It
usually is
either free, or 100$+.
> my menus are extremely simple to justify
> this amount of money...
Perhaps. But is this the only project you'll ever do that
will be using
menus?

Can a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question have variable answers?

Hello -- I'm trying to create a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question that allows the user to enter an anser with room for error. For example, if the user enters "0.30", then "0.28" and "0.32" would still be correct. Is there a javascript or something that would allow that? I'm willing to pay for a solution.

Perhaps so, but even with that range, I'd still likely opt for what I said earlier. It would seem simpler than devising an Advanced Action. Just list the following as acceptable answers.
0.28
0.29
0.30
0.31
0.32
And I might even go farther and list these too.
.28
.29
.30
.31
.32
But that's just me.

Buddy menu

Hallo,
I’ve download Buddy menu for director.
But I don’t understand how can I do to insert a behavior. What is the method?
There is 'a way to install the menu' "buddy" in the position where the menu is normally installed with the statement "installMenu member ..."?
It is possible to introduce more instructions in the traditional menu of directors? In other words can you have several script after the sign: | in field of the menu?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
I had already read the documentation, which certainly for my incompetence is not clear.
For example for the position of the menu the documentation tell:
"BmMenuAt list Items, Flags integer, integer X, integer Y"
Wishing to place the menu in the top left, where I have to put the numbers 0? after x? Instead of x? in both cases does not work.
Similarly it is unclear to me how to put the script in the menu' because there is not an example of contextualization of the script.
Could someone do this?
Thanks.

DVDSP3 all messed up! plus menu question

Ok, i've been using Dvd Studio Pro since it came out. This is the first time I have had any problems with it. First of all, it keeps crashing, no reason. Second, now now video will play in the viewer. Third, Items on my menu seem to be locked and i can't select any of them. Some audio and video is getting jumbled around when i import it and then add it to a track. I want to re-install but I lost my disc. I guess i should call apple for a replacment! Any of this stuff happen to anyone else?? please help?
Now another question. Is there a way to have different music play each time you go back to a menu?

YEah, you should repair permissions and probably reinstall it sounds like.
Yoy can't have different music play in one menu. You can have multiple identical menus however. You can script end jumps and connections to randonly pick a menu or you can just have the end jump or back button go to different versions of the identical menus.

Spry tabbed menu question

I would like to know if it is possible to use any of the tabs
to not only be a link to display it's content, but display it's
content only after arriving at a page that it jumps to when clicked
from another page?
Let's say you're on the home page and that home page has four
(4 including the home page) tabs defined in a menu. Each of those
tabs have content that are defined for sub pages for the main area
the tab takes you to when you click it from the home and are only
displayed when arriving from the home page after clicking the tab
you wanted to visit. Once on that page, the tab content (submenu
item links) is displayed only from that main area and other related
submenu pages.
I tried the onclick="window.location='pageurl'" in the tab
code, it seems to work, but the visibility jumps back to the home
tab content (default visibility).
help and direction is appreciated.
Thanks,
nitefisher

Jump Menu Question

I think I may have posted this question in the wrong forum,
so I'm trying it here as well.
Using the Jump Menu feature in Dreamweaver, I've set up the
following menu that opens a series of PDF files:
<form name="form1" id="form1">
<select name="previous issues"
onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,1)">
<option>Choose a previous issue:</option>
<option value="../pdfs/Gray Newsletter Feb
08.pdf">February 2008</option>
<option value="../pdfs/Gray Newsletter Mar-Apr
08.pdf">March-April 2008</option>
<option value="../pdfs/Gray Newsletter May 08.pdf">May
2008</option>
<option value="../pdfs/Gray Newsletter June
08.pdf">June 2008</option>
<option value="../pdfs/Gray Newsletter July-August
08.pdf">July-August 2008</option>
<option value="../pdfs/Gray Newsletter September
08.pdf">September 2008</option>
<option value="../pdfs/Gray Newsletter October
08.pdf">October 2008</option>
</select>
</form>
Is it possible to adjust this code in order to open each PDF
file as a new window? I don't want my visitors to get lost (and
they will) by having the page they are on replaced by a PDF file
that has no apparent link back to the page where this Jump Menu
resides.
And I can't add a back link as each PDF file is an existing
newsletter.
Thanks,
Bill

Theme/menu question?

Greetings.
When I create a new project (revolution theme), and I go to "Add Movie", it adds the movie box and I then drag and drop my movie on that. all is fine.
However, when I click on play (preview) I get my main screen, the click-able movie text and I am able to click on that, but it brings up another window that has "Play Movie" and "View Chapters"
My question is, how do I just get the "play Movie" and "Chapters" as the first window to appear when inserting a DVD to play, instead of having to go through a secondary window? Does this make sense?
Thanks for your help.
Jonathan

Try copying and pasting of the play movie link and the chapter links from their original menu to the main menu. Then delete them and the menu they were in originally. Make a backup copy of the iDVD project beforehand. I've done essentially the same thing in projects.

Scene Selection Menu Question

I will try and make this question as unconfusing as possible. I have a DVD with a basic menu screen. It offers to play the whole film or go to the scene selection menu. When I go to the scene selection menu obviously I have the option to do just that. When I select a scene (or chapter) it will play it. My question is, if I have picked the wrong scene or I just want to go back to the scene selection menu, how do I make that happen? If I press menu it will just take me back to the main menu. It seems tedious to do it that way to keep having to go back to the main menu then to the scene selections menu. In short
What do I need to do to make the dvd go back to the scene selections menu when it was the last one selected?

What do I need to do to make the dvd go back to the scene selections menu when it was the last one selected?
You can also program the remote control's functions specifically for your DVD. It's not easy to understand in the manual but it's all explained. For instance, you could program the TITLE or MENU keys to return specifically to the scene selection menu. The problem with changing the programming is that's how the key will work for your entire disk unless, of course, you can figure out how to use the user memory registers and write a little script that will have conditionals.

Basic Menu Question

I'm trying to obtain this menu: A simple menu with a still background (already have the background) with six sub categories: Each category, when clicked on, plays a video clip. So I will have six video clips. To label each video clip, there will be a still image picture.
...So in its basic sense, I am trying to achieve any menu you see in DVD movies where you go to a "Scene Selection" menu. Then I'll prbably have some text right next to the still frame, just like in a DVD menu.
One of my problems is I am unsure as to how to encode these videos to make them compatible with DVDSP.
I apologize for dumping this simple question on, but the DVD Studio Pro Help Manual is convoluted at best and I am under a tight deadline. I really appreciate any answer.

Nevermind, I got everything converted, all is well.

CS5 Spry Menu Question

Aloha,
I have the menu configured that way i want it, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to do the following.
I have a menu   home, about, contact etc......... The menu bar has two background images, one when you load the page and then the mouse over image. What i want to do is when your on the index.html page , the Menu link will be lite up in my case (blue) and then if you go off of that page the blue will go to the current page that is up on your screen.
I am not great with code, I have spent a few hours tring to figure it out, i have no idea if it can do that or not, but its prob super easy, I just dont know what setting i am looking for.
2ns Question.. Is there a way to make the Spry menu to look like this?    HOME    |   ABOUT     |      ETC
Right now i dont have the | in there, not sure if its possable
Aloha!

Thank you for posting your URL, this should be done as a matter of course.
You do need to have SpryDOMUtils.js uploaded to your SpryAssets folder for the script to work.
The following explains the working of the script
function InitPage(){
Spry.$$('#MenuBar1 li').forEach(function(node){ // check each li within a region with an ID of MenuBar1
    var a=node.getElementsByTagName("a")[0]; // finds all a elements inside the li, but we only want the first so [0]
    if(a.href == window.location){ // if the href is the same as the current window location e.g. index.html
        Spry.Utils.addClassName(node,"activeMenuItem"); // add a class called activeMenuItem
As soon as a class is added, CSS will take care of the styling. In the case that I have suggested, the CSS merely changes the background colour. This could just as happily be a background image.
If you want a different image for each menu item, then assign a class to the menu item as in
<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="home-services.html" class="red">Home Services</a></li>
<li><a href="business-services.html">Business Services</a></li>
<li><a href="web-hosting.html">Web Hosting</a></li>
<li><a href="online-backup.html">Online Backup</a></li>
<li><a href="about-us.html">About Us</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact Us</a></li>
The style rule could then be
.red .activeMenuItem { background: url(home-button.png); }
Cheers,
Gramps

Simple spry menu question

Hi
I just need to know how to change the height of my spry menu.
i did it once before but forgot how to. i think i've tried height
on every SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css that is there there...
Thanks

Great thank you very much, added the code and its working
now...
Just one more question, hope this makes sense: I want to put
the menu along a line that is the same color as the menu so i put
to menu into a table and used a color background, is this the best
way to do it? The problem i am having is that the table has this
padding that i can't get rid of, i want it the same size as the
menu, but i can make the table any smaller...
Appreciate the help

Buddy upgrade questions?

My mother and I are going to do a buddy upgrade and I have a few questions. She has the basic phone plan and I have the 30$ smartphone plan. If I use her upgrade to change from my BlackBerry to an iPhone 4S. do I need to purchase the data plan too? She's probably keeping her basic phone so if that's the case how do I change the data plan back to how it was? Like instead of paying $30 each, I take her upgrade and end the data plan on her line and activate it to my line. How do I do this? And will Verizon help me through this if something goes wrong? Sorry if this doesn't make much sense!

angelasara,
Congrats on the upgrade! No need to worry, when doing an alternate upgrade, everything on your line and your Mom's line stays the same. If you are hesitant on the process, our customer service line would be happy to process the order. You can reach them at 800-922-0204, or by dialing *611 from your phone.
Thank you!

Creative zen menu question/cracked screen

Hello
I have an unusual request.
<img alt="Cracked screen" src="http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/644/pa50006.jpg" height="600" width="800[/img]
Firstly I must say that my lovely creative zen's screen is cracked :< some guy kicked me on the side of my leg where zen was in my pocket and then I realized the screen got cracked.
The thing is, it still works quite well (despite flawly "back" button which I have to press several times to get it to work) and I keep listening to music with it, new screen costs more than an used zen so I will stick with it for some more time before upgrading to new model.
As the screen is cracked I have to navigate through the menu tbe way I remember, so the question, or request is as follows:
. I would like to know if when I'm in the main menu, if I press UP several times, will it stop on the st position in the menu or the selection will continue from the bottom towards first position again ? (like looped selection)
2. I have brightness set to 00%, would someone be so kind giving me instructions how to get to the settings/brightness and set it back to minimum 0%? Like down 5x, OK, down3x, OK, left etc.
3. I'd like also instructions how to play all the tracks, so far I remember how to play an album, It's like 3x or 4x down, OK, 3x down, OK, OK, play. Whenever I put new tracks the playlist gets updated and I can't play them like that with the play button :<.
I'd be really gratefull for the information provided.

You're SOL dude...
I've had a cracked screen for a month now and have tried everything...
-tried to return it-too late
-tried to buy a replacement screen-can't find them anywhere and they're made in singapore
-tried to use an ipod video screen-doesn't fit
-So you gotta send it back to creative-cost: ~$20.00 and no player for a few weeks
Good luck, you're taking it better than I did

"Play" on remote vs. "Enter" - Simple Encore Menu Question

Hi All,
I haven't been able to find a good answer to this question as of yet, so I am hoping someone has a clear answer! I am creating one of the simplest menus possible for my project. It is composed of a screen capture from my timeline as the background image and a text button which is the name of the short film and acts as the "Play" button. My project is only one timeline, so nothing complicated. I am able to make the video play from the menu when I use the remote and physically push the "enter" button, but I would like it to play whether I push the "enter" button OR the physical "play" button on the remote. I can't understand why pushing play on the remote wouldn't count as using the button?
Thank you for your time, and if there is any solution or work around, this would be great! Some of the people who watch my videos don't understand the difference between "enter" and "play" and then the whole thing feels much less professional.
Thank you!

I'm having this same issue.
I have a single menu with one item that is going to play one timeline of video.
I'd like to have it set up where the user presses play or enter and the video plays.
I'm not able to do that. I haven't enabled any overrides. Would appreciate any help.
Thanks so much.
Victor

Pop Up Window and Drop Down Menu Question PLSS Help

Hi Guys,
Ne help would be appreciated I am designing a website in
Dreamweaver, I need to know how to create a custom drop down menu.
Is there anyway that instead of using the standard drop down menu,
you can customize them e.g use an image instead. For example, when
you rollover lets say Home a drop down appears but the menu is
customised e.g colour, text and any other small details.
Even when using the standard drop down menu, how can you have
a particular text, whenever I go to edit font list it does not show
the typeface, although it is activated in suitcase.
Secondly, how can I create a custom pop up window?
I would really appreciate any help for either of these
Many Thanks

hi,
Creator does not recognize (or whatever you say) characters like '<'. You can import js file which includes your script or change these characters for example put "<" instead of "<".
