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?

Flash Button "Active" State

Hi friends,
I am trying to create a flash navigation bar for the first time and i have problems making it work the clicked state wont stick! I've looking thru tons of tutorials and only found 1 that ALMOST fits my need. Im lost in the never ending google and i really cant find the help i need to make it work so here i am.
Here goes my problem i hope someone can help me out, i am very new to flash so please consider that if you want to help me out.
I have created a navigation bar with 5 buttons made of movie clips each containing 4 states labeld up, over, out and clicked. When i test the navigationbar inside flash it works fine because it does not reload when i click a button as it would on the website where the whole page reloads. But on the website when im testing it the button state "clicked" just wont stick and i understand why, because the page is reloading and my script tells all the buttons to return to "up" state when the flash starts. But i would like them to stick... and i dont know how to do it really. I would love if there was a way to make so when i click the button the flash does not reload when im trying to grab my main content but im not sure if its possible. Or maybe so that the script checks what page i am on and activates the "clicked" state that way... Im not sure to be honest.
Here is my action script for my navigationbar. Please help me..
button1.buttonMode = true;
button2.buttonMode = true;
button3.buttonMode = true;
button4.buttonMode = true;
button5.buttonMode = true;
function allButtonsUp(): void {
button1.gotoAndStop("up");
button2.gotoAndStop("up");
button3.gotoAndStop("up");
button4.gotoAndStop("up");
button5.gotoAndStop("up");
function allButtonsOver(): void {
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
overFunction);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
overFunction);

e.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,

if none of your button movieclips have a stop() in their first frame, use:
var buttonA: Array = [button1, button2, button3, button4, button5];
var pageA:Array = ["home","register","ranking","downloads","donate"};
var previouslyClickedButton:MovieClip;
buttonListeners();
function buttonListeners(): void {
    for (var i: int = 0; i < buttonA.length; i++) {
    buttonA[i].gotoAndStop("up");
        buttonA[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outFunction);
        buttonA[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overFunction);
        buttonA[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction);
        buttonA[i].buttonMode = true;
function overFunction(e: MouseEvent): void {
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("over");
function outFunction(e: MouseEvent): void {
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("up");
function clickFunction(e: MouseEvent): void {
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("?page="+pageA[buttonA.indexOf(e.currentTarget)]), "_self");
     if(previouslyClickedButton){
          previouslyClickedButon.enabled=true;
          previouslyClickButton.gotoAndStop("up");
    MovieClip(e.currentTarget).enabled = false;
MovieClip(e.currentTarget).gotoAndStop("clicked");
     previouslyClickedButton=MovieClip(e.currentTarget);

Tracking button active state?

Hi -
I have three pages within a section of a site - when the user
clicks on a text button to go there, I'd like the text link to show
active. In this case, the text is black - when you rollover it
becomes red. So, when you're on a page, I'd like the text button
for that page to be red, the other two to be black - and so on. Is
there a way to do this with AS?
Thanks

I'm surprised this isn't possible...I'll keep looking.

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:

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!
Rachel

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.)

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,
Bill

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.

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.

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.

Replay a movie from a previous state using a button - how?

I am making a 'simple' (or it would be if it worked!) envelope for a FLASH movie. I am using Catalyst to provide menu functions after a very short FLASH movie plays - the sequence is:
1. State 1 - animated intro
2. State 2 - Short movie
3. State 3 - post movie menu
What I want to do is allow users to 'replay the movie' by clicking a 'play movie again' button in State 3 which will take them back to State 2 and autoplay the movie before it again returns to the post movie menu in State 3.
I have the movioe set to autoplay in State 2, and havbe an action to take it to State 3 when the movie finishes - but when I test my project and click on my 'play movie again' button it does go back to State 2 but just freezes and doesn't play the movie.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong here?
Many thanks...
Steve

I've had the same problem creating an ad banner that rotates. Once I get back to state 1 it freezes, even though it should play. (using 4 second blank video to progress through states)

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.

Button Activation Sequence.

Hi Everyone,
I am creating a program which controls a voice coil controller. In the program, I have a series of buttons that need to be pressed in a specific order, in order for the controller to operate correctly. Various users will be using this program so it's imperative that they are used in the correct order to prevent controller malfunction. I was wondering if there was a way, for when the program starts, all of the buttons except one be disabled. Once that first button is clicked, a second one becomes enabled, and so on.. until they all have been clicked in the right order. Finally, when a stop or reset button is clicked, the initial state of only one button active becomes true. I have attached the project if anyone would like to view the GUI. "Updated GUI Fretter" is the program and the "Test Control" tab is the one I am referring to. I'd initially like the "Download Program" button to be active, then once that is clicked, "set home position" becomes available for use, and so on to the right.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to make this function are greatly appreciated.

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!

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

Configuring Main Task of Interactive Activity to use Portlets

Hi,
I currently have a ALBPM implementation where we are using Screenflows in our Main Task of the Interactivity Activity to interact with the user.
Now we plan to replace the screenflow with portlets as we are implementing the Weblogic Portal Server and would like to have all the UI be developed using portlets.
Unfortunately we are unable to find any tutorial or guide that can help us with the steps involved with the same. And also who can we test the invocation of the portlets using the ALBPM workspace.
Regards,
Kartik

Hi Ritu,
I'm guessing you might have logic inside your Interactive activity that looks like this:
input "Enter the customer id: " : customerName
    using title = "Customer Information",
          buttons = ["Ok", "Cancel"]
    returning selectedButton = selectionAlthough I find "input" and "display" statements useful for initial prototyping and some testing, don't take it beyond that. The problem with these statements is that they tie up a thread as long as someone has the input or displayed dialog up. Quickly you'll run out of threads as people march off to lunch with these dialogs left up on their screens. Instead use Screenflows with either JSPs or BPM Object presentations to render information to end users.
In direct answer to your question though, if you're using the input statement (again - don't do this in production) be sure to handle the variable that contains the value of the button clicked. The above logic would be changed to the logic shown below to handle the Cancel button being clicked:
selectedButton as String
input "Enter the customer id: " : customerName
    using title = "Customer Information",
          buttons = ["Ok", "Cancel"]
    returning selectedButton = selection
if selectedButton = "Cancel" then
   // action is a predefined variable that is an enumeration used in this case to cancel the user's input
   action = CANCEL
endHope this helps,
Dan

Syncing Button Rollover States

I'm building a website for myself (currently with the Muse trial, but I am planning to buy), and I have a question regarding button rollover states. The site I'm building is an architectural photography website, and the general portfolio page has a list of subcategories in the left-side menu bar. However, I also want to have thumbnail links to each of the subcategories in the main body of the website (see image provided). The thumbnails are for the Educational and Municipal subcategories. I have currently set up the rollover states for all the links in the left-side menu (to turn to the light blue that is seen on the active state of the Portfolio button), and I've set the rollover states for the thumbnails (to go to 50% opacity). Is there a way for me to synchronize these rollover states? I would like to see a thumbnail respond in its rollover state if I roll over its corresponding button in the left-side menu, and vice versa.
Thanks!
Rob

Hi,
To accomplish that you can use the composition tool tip. A transparent triger can be placed where your menu item is and the target will be on the image with an opacity of the 50%.
However, this will only work in one direction and will not change the menu item when you roll over to the image.

Buttons select state different color when burned, why??????

i making a instructional DVD that requires alot of menu's, besides the fact that i have the re-occuring problem of pixellated button overlays (which i notice everyonr has), to top it of the buttons come out a different color Why? i have no idea.. this is only for the selected and activated states as i am use a overlay file for the buttons. the buttons are in the orignal video file used for menu.
could it be because of the the colours used in the overlay file are the same as the buttons on the menu. but i have used the advanced feature to set the color for the select/activate state. so that does not make sense. also in the another menu using the same method it works just fine.
can anyone help. it is important for the colors to be what i have chosen as the dvd has an overall theme and colour style.
any help will be much appreciated...

I'm not even really sure how the overlay color option would work, I guess you'd have to use specific colors? In any case, what works well is to use grayscale instead. Make your overlay image in Photoshop, and when you save it, save it as PICT file, 2 bit grayscale. That gives you four grays to use. Take that into DVDSP and in the advanced color settings choose Grayscale, and set the four sliders to the same color, but with transparency valuues of 15, 10, 5, and 0.
You should now have nice looking, predictable color, overlays.
