Button layer issues!

Greetings!
I'm trying to create a series of buttons that simply enlarge
when you hover over them. When a button enlarges, it should just
"overlap" another button, essentially hiding the overlapped
buttons.
However, what happens is this:
http://www.ireallyshouldbewriting.com/TESTS/test.html
(there will be about 12 of those buttons in all)
TOP BUTTON HOVER: What I *want* to happen!
BOTTOM BUTTON HOVER: What I don't want to happen! (the top
button blocking the bottom image)
I'm assuming the more buttons I add the more overlap problems
I'll be adding.
I've tried putting both buttons on the same layer and then on
different layers, and neither fixed the problems. I guess what I'm
asking is there any way to make sure the "over" and "click" states
are always on top?
any suggestions? Thanks!
Initially I did the page in dreamweaver:
(here)
but that created its own set of problems with overlaps.

on rollover function for buttons add the line
this.swapDepths(100);
assuming you have no more then 100 depths already, else
change number to 420 or someting

Button Layer Issue

Hello,
Having trouble figuring out what the correct actionscript for
a button that is trying to access a labeled frame within a movie
that is part of a larger movie. It works if I play it by itself
outside of the larger movie, but I'm not sure how to get it to work
within. This is what I have so far:
on (release){
_level0.gotoAndPlay ("next")
I've tried changing it to:
contents._level0.gotoAndPlay ("next")
...but it didn't work. "contents" is the symbol that the file
is being loaded into.
Cheers

Thanks for your reply! I tried your second advice and it's
still not working. Maybe I didn't explain it thoroughly. I have
Movie 2 loaded into Movie 1 (through a symbol called "contents").
Movie 2 has a symbol that is several layers with a button on layer
3. I want the button to go to and play label "next" on Movie 2's
timeline when it is released. Does this change anything?

Firefox back button visual issue...

Hey there,
Overall, Firefox is just amazing. I registered this forum just report a bug about the Back-Button visual issue. The Back-Button in Firefox looks broken visually on start. When I open Firefox and enter any website, Back-Button looks visually broken. But later it look okay. I've taken some screen shots about that, but don't know how to attach them here. I am running windows 8 on my computers. Don't know about other OS users, if they are experiencing the same issue or not.

Firefox button rollover issues

Strange one... I have a flash file that works in every browser, except Firefox. In Firefox, it appears that the Y coordinate is "off". You can only use the button when you are approximately 200 pixels down the screen. I've tested in Chrome, Safari and IE 7 with no problems. Any ideas? FYI..the only other info I've been able to find may point to wmode, which in this case I have to set it to transparant so the drop down boxes above the flash movie stays "over" the video. Here is the link.

Any ideas?

chrisrubal,
     Interesting. When I test that URL, the button seems just fine for me in Firefox. The hotspot is positioned exactly where it makes sense (same for IE, Chrome, and Safari, all on Windows). Does this issue persist for you when you clear your cache in Firefox?

     A setting of "transparent" does allow Flash content to appear under other HTML elements, but you really only need "transparent" when the Flash content includes transparency. WMODE is known to be a bit dicey (has been since its introduction), but anecdotal evidence suggests that "opaque" is a bit less problematic, and both of those -- transparent and opaque -- let your layer your SWFs behind CSS menus.
     Not sure if WMODE is the cause for your issue, but opaque is worth a shot.
     Here's a bit more info:

Program at print button in 'Issue output to'

Hello Experts,
There is an existing output X which triggers only when output BA00 is printed from the print button in the pop up of sales order when you go to 'Isssue output to'
When trying to process the sales order output BA00 throu standard program SD70AV1A, the output X is not triggered.
Now, we have a requirement to process BA00 from another interface where we are using SD70AV1A, but output X is not triggering in this case.
So, please suggest a way through which we can use the program at print button in this requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Paritosh

Hello Max,
Thanks for your reply
BA00 is printed by program, no issues there. But, there is a requirement on other output X(medium 5) , that it should process immediately along with BA00, which is not happening with this program SD70AV1A.

Button image issues

Im having issues with button images in captivate 4, after designing buttons in photoshop then saving them as PNG's and putting them in the buttons folder. When i apply these buttons to a slide the button images are missing parts and look bad.. any suggestions?, please help.

Hi there
I believe Captivate uses the color value of the pixel in position 0, 0 to determine the transparent color for the button image. You need to ensure you are using a unique color for that location. What you posted seems to infer that you have a color being rendered as transparent and the color is used in other places in the image.

Place images, reassemble slices, layer issues

I am creating a sprite of images I have in the bridge. I placed button images from the bridge. I tried to merge the layers so there is only one layer for the sprite. When I did the merge the images got locked onto the background layer and I can't move the images around on the layer to reassemble the buttons. I created a layer called background that was black so I could see the greyed out buttons better while reassembling them from slices. I will turn off the background layer after I got the pieces put together.
Because the images were locked down I started over and noticed while sizing the canvas that the canvas has a background color and also the layers have background contents. I just need a dark background I can turn off after I get all the pieces put together so I can see the really light buttons. I don't know if I need a background or not.
Also as I placed images I noticed when I clicked the image in the bridge fireworks turns on. This got annoying. I thought I was double clicking the images in the bridge and that was opening fireworks so I barely touched the images and it still opens fireworks. How can I turn off fireworks so it doesn't open at all. I don't need it.
I am assuming if I merge the images onto the first layer the images can be moved around with the move tool. I unlocked the first one I tried that was merged to the background layer and it created a layer named layer0 and I still could not move the images with the hand tool.
I also noticed that as I was placing images some of them went all on the same document but some of them started a new document. I intended for them to all be on one document and I don't know why it started a second one and added some of the images to the second file?
thanks,

Ok, if you want to move each image individually from the others then do not merge the layers it is possible to move them, but it is much more difficult. Let the merge layers be the last thing you do.
In fact, save a psd file with the layers intact and save another file that was merged. This way you can always go back and rearrange, edit, etc. without having to start over if that is what you were doing.
Usually merging will merge all the layers and put them all into a single unlocked layer (once they are in a single layer they behave as one) Flattening the layers though will put all the layers into a single locked background layer.
If the layer is locked, you can either double click on the background layer and click OK to unlock it, or just drag the lock icon from that layer to the trash can.
If the background (portion of the image that is not your objects) is transparent you can create a new layer and move that layer below your merged layer (or all of the unmerged layers) and fill it with a color for the background.
Keep in mind that flattening will fill transparent part of the image to a white background, whereas merging will keep the transparency because the layer is not locked as a background.
Pay attention to what file format you save your file as, as not all formats support transparency. Stick with psd, png, tiff for example. saving as a jpg will result in a file that is the same as flattening the layers as it does not support transparency or layers. Tiff and psd are the only two I know that support layers.
If all the images have been merged or flattened and you have no way of going back, then you are going to have to use the selection tools to select each object and copy/paste to a new layer (on a windows system ctrl-j will do the work of copy/paste in a single step)
As for Fireworks starting from Bridge, I am thinking your double click in your mouse settings are too sensitive. But for stoping Fireworks altogether, you can go into the preferences, look for file type associations and then look for that file format. Click on that format and change what program is to open that file.

Button Alignment Issue

I have some custom buttons added to the sales order screen. When the font in B1 is set to "10", the buttons show up and are aligned just fine. When the user changes the font to anything other than "10", the buttons become mis-aligned and moved on the form even though I am setting the "Left" property to be the same for all three of them.
Also, on some computers, when the user minimizes the sales order form and then restores the form, all items (even system items) don't resize correctly and the sales order matrix shrinks to about 1/2 the size it was before, leaving a huge empty space on the form. When the add-on is closed, the issue goes away. I am not changing any properties on the system items or the form (width, height etc). I'm just adding three custom buttons and filtering for certain events on the form.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Curtis,
Did you follow the Standards and Guidelines UI documentation when creating your controls and forms? I am assuming that you did, but there are specifics with respect to the creation of buttons on forms? With other add-ons that you have created, have you experienced this issue?
This is a note from the PartnerEdge Portal that you may want to check out to see if this helps ...

Interactive button layer orders

when i create a button in indesign, it ignores the layer information i've specified, instead moving the newest button to the top layer no matter where it resides in the layer pallet.
it also floats it on top of all other page data - master or individual - no matter what layer those items are on as well. all my master page items are on the topmost layer while all the buttons are on the bottom layer, however all the buttons will float above the master page items.
i've experimented with this and created a /new/ layer, put it on the very top and created a new box (the newest item on the page), but when i export the PDF, all the buttons are floating on top still.
what's going on?

We had the same problem -- how do you influence the "stacking order" of the buttons?
You can't do that with layers, or with anything else from within InDesign. I think the reason for that is that the "buttons" in the PDF become a mere rectangle list, which has nothing (!) to do with the 'elements' you apply them to. You can see this for yourself if you create a button in Acrobat -- just draw any rectangle, and that's it.
If you have buttons on your master page and you don't want them on certain pages, you will have to delete them manually.

Facebook like button widget issue!

I'm working on the website right now. The person wants the Like button on the website, I have yet to deal with it. But I worked on putting it in through the Adobe Widget browser. I like the application because it's click and drag. Yet the issue i'm having is that i want to put the like button in on area where it doesn't over flow in that area. I'm attacthing a screen shot to show the issue.
I'm trying to put the like button on the side bar and I wanted to put it above the events so it's at the top of the page. I'm working it in the sense where it's just the like button and it shows how many people like it. As you can see it makes this big space in the area where it should just be at a space that is smaller then a one enter button push. I tried to fix it through the code but i cant find anything to remove that ammount of the box.

This is exactly what is happening for me right now. Have you figured this issue out yet? Any help would be appriciated. Thanks!

Button execution issue

I've been having issues with buttons that are tied to my emerson drive talking modbus ethernet. The issue being that when I press a momentary pushbutton, I get a double bump like I hit the pushbutton twice. It'll hold true every once in a while too. In the event log, it reads as followed
cwbutton1 adjusted to on by the control
cwbutton1 adjusted to off by the control
cwbutton1 adjusted to on at the source
cwbutton1 adjusted to off at the source
I'm running lookout 6.0.2. It only happens when I'm connected to a device over modbus ethernet. I'm guessing that I missed something in the setup somewhere. Any help would be appreciated

This problem has a long history... I have to say Lookout is designed in this way, although it looks like unreasonable.
You click the button, it turns on "by the control", a write command is being sent. After you release it, it turns off "by the control". But after the ON command is sent, Lookout will read the current value on this register before it sends out OFF command, because Lookout wants to get the ON status if there are any display or control on panel. The button is connected to the register by the remote source, so it will reflect the change on status. So, Lookout reads the ON status back and turns ON the button again "at the source". Then Lookout writes OFF command to device. On the next poll, Lookout reads the OFF status and turn OFF button "at the source".
I know that it doesn't look good in Lookout, we will consider if we need to improve it.

Button AS3 Issue

I have 2 buttons on my stage linking to two different sites.
I have each button on its own layer with its own instance name and
the code for each button on its own separate layer.
Btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPage);
function loadPage(event:MouseEvent):void{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.adobe.com/");
navigateToURL(myURL,"_blank");
Btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPage);
function loadPage(event:MouseEvent):void{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.yahoo.com/");
navigateToURL(myURL,"_blank");
The first button worked, though when I added the second, I
get this error:
1021: Duplicate function definition.

One of the approaches can be holding references to the clicked button and frame in wich the click occured. here may be bugs in the code - this is just a concept:
//handle events for buttons...
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
design.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
photography.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
company.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
// currently clicked button
var currentClick:DisplayObject;
// return frame
var returnFrame:int = 0;
function clickSection (evtObj:MouseEvent) {
     //trace shows what's happening.. in the output window
     trace ("The "+evtObj.target.name+" button was clicked!")
     // go to the section clicked on...
     if (currentClick && evtObj.currentTarget == currentClick) {
          currentClick = null;
          gotoAndStop(returnFrame);
     else {
          gotoAndStop(evtObj.currentTarget.name);
          currentClick = evtObj.currentTarget;
          returnFrame = MovieClip(this).currentFrame;

Button rollover issue

Download zipped
FLA
If anyone is bored, I'm having a problem with a rollover
issue in the above movie that I have been creating. It is an
interactive, navigable map of city parks. Rollover of the
individual dots marking park locations on the map works fine. But I
am also trying to list all the parks' names on the right, where you
see the "Bergen Park" button. This is so that the user can either
mouse over the map locations and see the park name
OR
find where the park is located by mousing over the park name
on the right. I want this "Bergen Park" button to cause a section
of the movie clip that has an instance name of "bergen" to play,
making the Bergen Park dot on the map enlarge when the "Bergen
Park" button is moused over. I thought that this actionscript would
do it:
on (rollOver) {
_root.bergen.gotoAndPlay("11");
on (rollout) {
_root.bergen.gotoAndPlay("19");
But it is not working when the movie loads. Only if I mouse
over the Bergen Golf Course dot on the map does the "Bergen Park"
button start acting like a button. Otherwise it just gives me a
text cursor when I mouse over the "Bergen Park" button. Any help
would be much appreciated!
Kevin

had a look at your fla and didn't quite work out exactly what
was "working fine" for you. a few comments on your code:
1. don't you need a stop action on frame 92 ? otherwise it
continues looping.
2. flash is case sensitive - be careful of this - on
(rollout) might work even though the correct syntax is on(rollOut),
but this is because the on handler is ancient syntax (pre dot
syntax). most flash syntax requires you to have the syntax
case-correct.
3. Why is each of your dot clips inside a group? They were
very difficult to find. I can't think of a reason for them to be
inside groups, so I'd recommend selecting all of them and breaking
the group apart so that you can see where they are!
4. The way you've structured your flash file has redundancy
and is going to be a nightmare to make changes to. Imagine if you
or your client decides that they want the dot to pulse twice when
you rollover it. You're going to have to make that small change 42
times. Or even imagine if a URL changes for one of the buttons.
There is a unique line of action-script to open that URL on every
key-frame within the dot movie-clip. so changing a URL would
require making that change on 6 keyframes, let alone the park name
reference to it that you are building on the right. The minimum I
would suggest you do is to have only one movieclip which contains
the animation of the dot pulsing, and then for you to put the
button event handlers on those movieclips, rather than inside those
movieclips. There are even better ways you could go about this, (by
storing the urls and titles in arrays, or even xml, and then
placing the event handlers on the movieclips via their instance
names on one frame of action-script), but this would at least
remove your redundancy.
5. but i digress... to return to your question - the text
cursor appears not when you point to the bergen park button but
when you point to the area between {2, 0} and {502, 20}, because
this is where you created a dynamic text field:
_root.ToolTip.createTextField("TipText", 2, 2, 0, 500, 20);
_root.ToolTip.TipText.type = "dynamic";
add this line after the above code:
_root.ToolTip.TipText.selectable=false;
and your problem should be fixed...

Button Request issue

Hello ,
On a report page, I've created a button item SEARCH, which has "Button Request" set to value : 'SEARCH'.
However, after hiting this button, v('REQUEST') returns null, not 'SEARCH' (as I expected)
Anybody knows why ?
Thank you,

Woooo there lets not get ahead of ourselves, the Pocket PC issue is very specific, if something like this was consistently not setting the REQUEST as designed we would have noticed very quickly as everybodies applications quietly explode.
Try putting this &REQUEST. in your REQUEST attribute of your branch otherwise your REQUEST gets cleared.
