Button overlay problem

hi. I made a DVD with a simple layered menu with 2 buttons and 2 movie tracks. In simulation the button overlay works fine, when I place the mouse over them they highlight. The problem is that after build&burn, I have to click twice the button to send me to the desired track. When I place the mouse over the button it doesn't highlight, press once it highlights, press second time it sends me to the video track.
(tested with DVD player, VLC and PC player - same behaviour)
can anyone help?

Welcome to the Boards
You have found one of the limitations on layered menus (assuming you did them properly which it sounds like you did) - sometimes rollovers will not work. Most set top players should be okay. This is one of the reasons why layered menus are usually not recommended for use around here (though of course you can use them knowing the issues)

Overlay button aliasing problem

I created an overlay image in photoshop to use as a button overlay in DVD studio pro. the overlay image is a fish. The image is GREAT quality in photoshop but when I add it to my menu as an overlay in DVD SP, the lines are very jagged. I've tried a few different aspect ratios and keep getting the same results. Anyone have any ideas?
My menu is NTSC DV widescreen square pixel. My photoshop file was the same.
thanks!

Here's a great photoshop plug-in I use on every title.

MAC Leopard - Check Project - Button Overlay and Orphans

Where is the semantic web!!! I could't find in the morass here if anyone answered the following...
I try a CHECK PROJECT...if I check Button Overlay...the APPLE BEACHBALL OF DEATH appears and I am blown out of the program. I have 5 buttons and I swear to whomever they don't overlap! So that one is a mystery.
IF I check Orphans I get two items that appear (in my case 2 menu orphans)...if I double click on either I am blown out of the program. I see nothing in the project resources for these. I have but ONE menu. BTW, if I click on the FLOWCHART
I am adding the crash report below...just in case it is of value.

Bill,
Understand that I am on PC and also am on CS2, so things might have changed, and these answers may well be void, but...
For the Button Overlay, since you are getting booted out of the program, lets try to look at the problem from another direction. With the Menu (the one that Check Project has already flagged as a problem) in the Menu Panel, click on Button Routing icon at the bottom of that Panel. You should see the Buttons come up with two things: Bounding Boxes around each Button, and the little cross, with the Button Numbers, showing the Routing for the players remote buttons. Look at the Bounding Boxes around each Button. Is there any overlap? Often, when building, or re-building Menus, this can happen, and there isnt another fail-safe way to check (a Feature Request might be in order for Photoshop, or Encore). If there is ANY overlap, you need to re-edit that Menu in PS (ideally, as it offers more power, than does Encore) and look at the Highlight sub-Layer for that Button. Re-size it to make sure that the overlap does not happen. I know that you feel confident, that there is no overlap, but Button Routing will verify that. If there is none, then thats another problem for you to hash out with the MAC folk, and a possible glitch in either the program, or within your system.
As for the Orphans, look in your Project Panel and check (in your case) Menus. Are there any, that are not used? You state that you have one Menu in the Project. Do more appear in the Project Panel? If so, remove them. In the Flow Chart Panel, you should also see the Orphaned Assets, in what else, but the Orphanage, at the bottom of that Panel. If you do not, and will not, need them, then Delete (Trashcan) should take care of that error message.
Now, as to why the attempts to work out of Check Project Panel crashes the program... well, I have no clue. Maybe the MAC folk can look at your failure list and tell you exactly what is going on there. However, if you can solve the problems elsewhere, you can get on with your Project, until such time, as you can work that one out.
Good luck, and sorry that you got a non-MAC person to answer.

IOS 6.1.3 WIFI button disable problem on iPhone4S - It is definitely a BUG

Hi Apple Fans
I have a full house of Apple products from iPhone -> iPAD -> iPod -> Mac -> AirPort, and I am suffering from WIFI button disable problem after upgrade to iOS 6.1.3, without any clue after calling Apple Support, factory reset and reload iPhone for more than 10 times. I also try all tips on Apple Support Communicties except put it into a freezer, still no any luck. Apple Support suggests that my iPhone may be factly!
Tonight, I can get my WIFI back in below sequence:
1. Switch to English language from Chinese
2. Turn Cellular Data Option to off
3. Reset Network Setting
After the phone reset, the WIFI row show 'Not Connected', and I can select my home WIFI (Airport Express) without trouble. To prove my finding is workable to all case, can you try the same and update here if it works for you?
Good Luck!
PS: I always believe it is a BUG.

Hi,
I sympathise with you as my iPhone 4s is 7 months old and is also greyed out. I tried everthing except the potentially stupid one of putting the iphone in a freezer! I took the phone back to the vendor who sent it away and repaired it. But alas after a month it is greyed out again. I have again returned to the vendor and he will repair it again. I asked him how and he told me it is a software conflict and he has to spend around 9 hours downloading a patch repair. Apple are aware of this issue and I feel completely let down because they have not posted a fix on the net. Presently I am living and working in Dubai, back in the UK I am sure my iPhone would have been exchanged for a new one. I need my iPhone for my work and cannot afford to just buy a new one so I have been let down and despite for years being a supporter of Apple and their products I shall think twice before investing in any more Apple products.

Standard button image problem

Hi,
I've got a problem when I try to set Image to the button from standard components.. I can set it up, but than I didn't see the image in the browser.
With the button from basic components there is everything working fine, unfortunately I need that component from standard.. any advice?
thx.

thx.Standard button has problems with images due to a JSF issue. To work around the issue, remove leading / from the buttons image property and re-deploy. This should cause the standard button image to display correctly.
Hope it helps,

Button overlays on motion menus question

I've made up a motion menu in which the buttons move from off-screen and into position. However, before they get there the button overlay is already highlighted. I've seen menus like this where the button overlay only appears when the buttons come into their final resting place. Can anybody advise how to do this?

Not sure how you made the overlays or where you set the loop point.
If you make the overlays in Photoshop or Motion and set the loop point to the final resting place, then it should work.

Facing duplicate button press problem.

Hi,
I am a beginner to JSF technology. I am working on a project that uses JSF 1.1 specification. I am facing "*duplicate button press problem*". Most of the links and submit buttons do not respond. With a lot of search I found that this problem was fixed in JSF 1.2.
I want to know whether upgrading to JSF 1.2 will work or not ? Also will it require code changes in existing code or simply upgrade will do?
- Sax

I'm not sure why you are focused on 1.1 vs 1.2 on this issue. For both versions you need the POST-REDIRECT-GET pattern, facilitated by the <redirect/> directive in the navigation rules.

V18: Enhanced button overlays

I set up v18 (InDesgin CS5.5/Mac),
and tried "Enhanced button overlays" and viewd in customized app build by viewer builder v1.8 on iPad.
Audio with play button and pause button works well on iPad,
but Video with play button and pause button dosen't work on iPad.
(Both works well in content viewer on Mac)
For Video on iPad,
OK: play button click at video stop -> video start
OK: pause button click at video playing -> video pause
NG: play button click at video play -> video freeze
Please confirm this trouble.

Controlling menu button overlay?

I made a title menu video clip in Motion, with all the text including chapter headings.
I imported it into Studio Pro. I added buttons overtop the text in the video clip. I linked the buttons to the chapters. Everything works.
I added an overlay to the buttons ... mainly for the DVD Players, so the viewer can SEE his\her selections with the remote.
My video clip starts in black, the chapter text headings take 8 seconds to appear. My 'normal' not-yet-selected overlay mode actually shows up as a coloured rectangle (the same colour as the 'selected' mode) where the first button is placed. The text appears later, in the rectangle. So I have a not-wanted colour rectangle in the frame for 8 seconds.
Is there a way:
1. I can have the button overlay rectangle appear later in the menu video clip timeline - when the actual text arrives?
Or...
2. I can somehow have the 'normal' mode in play (as a non-colour, neutral or transparent nothing), until the mouse, or the controller actually 'selects' the chapter text (in the button)? At which point the coloured 'selected' rectangle would appear.
All ears,
Ben

Is there a way:
1. I can have the button overlay rectangle appear
later in the menu video clip timeline - when the
actual text arrives?
Straight through DVD SP, nope (unless I missed something, have not tried all the tricks in DVD SP 4) but you can do it either by (a) some some other editing software like dvdafteredit (thought I saw an article on this once) or (b) some tricks [but the easier way is below in settings :)]
i.) have the clip cut and put the menus next to one another and have it auto jump to the next menu (though you will probably see the jump on most players)
2.) Build subtitles/buttons on a movie track and make that work as a menu
2. I can somehow have the 'normal' mode in play (as
a non-colour, neutral or transparent nothing), until
the mouse, or the controller actually 'selects' the
chapter text (in the button)? At which point the
coloured 'selected' rectangle would appear.
The easiest way will be have the buttons all non-highlighted unless selected (change settings so you do not see the rectangle) .. the only issue is that one button by default is always selected, so you can make an invisible button, and then people will have to press to get to the next buttons, but then they can move around by setting the up down left right buttons not to ever move to the invisible button

TS3274 If my iPad home button got problem?

If my iPad home button have problem but my iPad still under warranty can i use the warranty to take service for my iPad?

Yes the home button problem would be covered by the warranty as long as you didn't do something accidentally to cause the home button to fail. If it is a hardware failure - it will be covered under the warranty.
Is the home button no longer working? Have you tried to calibrate the home button?
Calibrate the home button
1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the home button. Hold until the red slider disappears.

Menu Button Overlays

This is driving me buggy:
I've created a menu in Motion with a white background and 3 purple circles in front of the selection options: Play, Highlights, and Index.
I've created an overlay file in Photoshop, and after much trial and error I've managed to get the black circles in the .psd file to line up with the purple indicators. Now maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. I thought that the circles in the .psd file would hide the corresponding purple circles in the Motion menu unless the button was selected. Instead, the opposite is happening. There are always two purple circles visible, and a light gray circle appears over the purple circle of the selected button! Why light gray, anyway? Shouldn't it be invisible? (White) (This is happening, by the way, with a single layer .psd file. I tried with each black circle on it's own layer, and that does it's own weird thing.)
I'm just really at a loss here. It seems like what I'm trying to do should be simple. I want a purple circle to appear next to each menu option when it's highlighted. When they're not highlighted, I want the plain white background. The text of the buttons, Play, Highlight and Index, are animated, so they need to stay in the Motion menu. Do I need to somehow create the purple circles in DVDSP?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

The circle is not "vector" so I think the grey is due to the fact that you have some interpolation (if that is the correct term) with regard to how the circle is done in psd.
Test. Switch to a pure box. I had this problem in a psd overlay file a few months back. client wanted ovals but the artifact was obvious. switch to square and all was well.

Just started today-immediate need is to take external swf, add invisible button overlay,click to URL

Hello Everyone,
Let me provide a little background information to the need that I am trying to close on as I am attempting to get this incorporated into my website. It came with the recommendation to try the CS5 today to see if this will meet the requirement at the moment.
Here is what I am trying to do:
There is a desire to take custom SWF files (I think there is something called Swish files too?) from various sponsors for advertisement purposes and place them on my website. The implementation was straight-forward to make them work through the webserver.
I tried a custom example of making a button that upon mouse click would open up a new webpage in CS5 which did work for me.
My problem is since the SWF files are finalized, there is no way to put URL information into those files. After doing a lot of searching around today, it appears that the best way to redirect a user upon click of a video is to:
1) Open up a new Flash
2) Import the SWF video file into the project
3) Create a Invisible Button over top the SWF video so when the user clicks, they are redirected to a specific URL.
But for some reason, when I tried to overlay it with a sample SWF file I imported, there was all this flickering going on to where both were made transparent to one another on the screen - not to mention the video wasn't even visible at all. My hope was that the SWF video could be seen clearly while the button remained invisbile to handle the click on the video.
Is there someone on the forum that is able to guide me fairly quickly with a fast-path procedure so that I can try this? If this will work for me, then I want to get the full product and begin doing a deep dive into what seems to be a very awsome tool.
Thank you for your assistance and help. I appreciate it greatly...
Steven

Hi Kglad,
Thank you for your tremendous insight and solutioning into what I need. Forgive me for being ignorant as I am so new to this tool and ActionScrpt. If I open up a AS3 project with a blank stage, what must I click or do to insert the code into the appropriate section to see the demonstration of your solution? Do I need to create a class file to use this or is there existing section of code that I can use to cut and paste this into ? Once I know how to implement this in the tool, then I should be good to go.
In my attempt to find some reference information, would I do the following?:
1) Open new AS3 Project
2) With a blank stage opened.
3) Create a new layer called "Action"
4) Click on Frame 1 of the "Action" Layer
5) Hit F9
6) Copy and Insert Code
7) Goto last Fame of the "Action" Layer
8) Hit F5
Would these be the correct steps to implement the code above?
Thank you very much!
Steven

Overlay problems

Hi folks
I've been having a few problems using standard overlay files in DVDSP 4. I seem to have fixed most of them using the wonderful information on this board but am stuck on the following
I have a screen with 7 buttons. The top 3 and menu button are fine but when I select any of the bottom buttons, a thin white line appears along the top of the text overlay area. I have tried moving the overlay etc but the problem persists, sometimes a line also appears underneath. I have examples....
http://www.colinleonard.com/overlay
I hope someone can help! thanks in advance

Hi:
Wellcome to the forums!!
Overlay file size (px)
What size in pixels is your overlay file? I mean, did you take in account the pixel aspect ratio issue?
Try with advanced colors
Select a button in your menu, in the Inspector windows go to Color tab and select Overlay Color: Advanced, Mapping Type Grayscale and Selection State Selected.
Then, for the first three key colors (black and grey ones) select the same color you used in your buttons but with a different % on each key, i.e.: 15% for Black, 8% for Dark Gray and 4% for Light Gray.
In that way, if your overlay file black elements have some antialiases "gray scale" borders, you'll get them colored with a gradient color.
Let us know how it worked !

Simple buttons overlaying movie button

Using Flash MX Professional 2004...
I'm trying to create a menu using movie clips of sliding
images with roll-over and roll-out effects. Within those movies I'd
like to overlay simple submenu item buttons.
My work-in-progress
can be viewed here. In the example, when rolled-over, the
leftmost image displays a button labeled 'Menu Item 1'. However,
the 'Menu Item 1' button does not respond to my mouse roll-over.
Is there a way to accomplish this? I hope I have been clear
enough.
Thanks...

I don't see any rollover effect on anything except the images
that display aunder the menu buttons. If the movie loads over them,
then I wouldn't expect to see them change with a rollover... mainly
because they aren't visible at that point.
You may have to explain the problem a little better,because
for what I can see, there isn't one, except that you possibly don't
have content for the other buttons yet.
Your problem, whatever it might be, is most likely in your
code, so if you can show the code and explain what you want it to
do, then it will be easier to assess what might be wrong.
