Button styles

Hi all,
OK I went to insert a Flash button from with in DreamWeaver CS3 and I get a Message window that says "There are no button styles on your system. Please reinstall DreamWeaver CS3.
I went to my DW CS3 folder a went to >configuration>Flash Objects and in this folder I see that there are indeed I see 3 folders named buttons, buttons preview & text. So I know that they are on the sys.
Why does DW CS3 tell me that there not there? Is there something else I need to do so that DW CS3 see these? Any ideas? Thanks for any help.
I'm on a Mac G5 running 10.5.6.

I call this a blessing in disguise.  Flash paper, Flash buttons, Flash text were all discontinued in CS4 because they are unfriendly and pose some real accessibility problems for people who can't use Flash. Ask yourself why you need this and then ask yourself if you couldn't do this much better with plain HTML & CSS  or JavaScript behaviors.

  • Can I use stylesheets to create multiple button styles?

    I am trying to create a custom look-and-feel within UIX to get it as close as possible to
    our existing application's look-and-feel.
    As part of this, I customized the UIX button by overriding the following named style:
    ButtonServerText
    and also by providing my own icons for:
    buttonStart
    buttonEnd
    buttonTopBackground
    buttonBottomBackground
    The good news is that I was able to get the button component to look exactly like our existing
    application buttons.
    The bad news is that we have different types of buttons in our application
    for different purposes. (i.e. the image used for the button can be completely different based on the context e.g.
    yellow button for important actions and light-blue buttons for secondary actions)
    It seems like there is no way in which I can use this stylesheet mechanism to create different types of buttons
    and use them within my application. (sometimes different types of buttons can appear on the same page)
    Please let me know if there is a way.
    This is in fact a general question regarding overriding a stylesheet for customizing look-and-feel.
    Lets say I customize the "contentContainer" component using the stylesheet. This change would then be global.
    But I do want to have different types of contentContainers in the application. I would be forced to create my own custom
    UIX elements similar to contentContainer and write my own renderers.
    (I know contentContainer does have the light, medium and dark styles. I used this just as an example.)
    Please let me know what my options are.
    Thanks,
    Jayesh Kapoor

    Hi Jayesh -
    The good news is that I was able to get the button
    component to look exactly like our existing
    application buttons.Cool - I'm glad to hear you were able to get this working!
    The bad news is that we have different types of
    buttons in our applicationRight. This is a fundamental limitation of our look and feel customization functionality - we only support global customizations, not instance-specific customizations. I agree that there are many cases where instance-level customization would be useful, but this just instance supported yet.
    The only solution that I can think of for your button dilemma would be to use static images. It's pretty easy to wire up an image to behave like a button - just embed the image in a link and use <fireAction> as the link's primaryClientAction.
    Obviously, the downside of this approach is that you need to create the button images manually - which also isn't ideal if you are planning to translate your applications. One possible solution here might be to use UIX to pre-generate your button images. The idea would be to create custom LAFs for each style of button, then create a UIX page for each button style, including <button> instances for each translated value. Then, you could configure UIX to run in the desired look and feel, hit the corresponding page, and UIX will generate the required buttons into your image cache. Again, not ideal, but this might be easier than creating the buttons by hand.
    This is in fact a general question regarding
    overriding a stylesheet for customizing
    look-and-feel.
    Lets say I customize the "contentContainer" component
    using the stylesheet. This change would then be
    global.
    But I do want to have different types of
    contentContainers in the application. I would be
    forced to create my own custom
    UIX elements similar to contentContainer and write my
    own renderers.Right - this is a generic problem. But for some components, like content containers, an easier solution might be to leverage UIX's templating mechanism. Remember, you can embed arbitrary HTML contents in a UIX page/template by setting the namespace to "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40". You can then reference these templates from your other UIX contents as if they were in fact UIX components. I'd recommend that you explore UIX's template support to see if this will meet your needs.

  • Change the button style in wdj

    Dear all:
    I want to change the button style in wdj application
    When I change the “url to button design bar”to  gif file,preview is fine
    But emphasized buttons is old in wdj application
    My EP versions is 7.4
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi Venki,
    Thanks a lot for the reply.
    If the OTR is static I can go and change text in the Transaction SOTR_EDIT. But in this scenario the button text changes dynamically according to the tab navigation on the Candidate profile page.
    Say If I am in Education Tab, the first button will be the Work Expereince (previous tab name ) and Second button text will be Qualifcation (next tab name). Similary the button text changes when I am in Qualification tab.
    I tried looking in the HRRCF_PROFILE for the OTR related to these buttons I could not find any.
    Any suggestions to solve this will be higly appreciated.
    Regards,

  • Button styles not updating actions

    Hi there,
    I've created a button style (in this case an exit button), which updates the appearance of all of the buttons defined by that style fine, however the action for that button does not.
    Is there a way to make it do so, as I'd rather not having to update 70+ buttons every time I need to alter some minor? Or is that just the way it is in Captivate?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Hi there
    Button Styles are separate from actions. The style controls the visual aspects of the Button. Each Button will have its own action. Many folks would likely be very frustrated if the action were forced to be the same for all Buttons when you changed a style.
    Perhaps you should submit a Wish Form to Adobe to ask for a feature that allows you to also specify actions if you want. Link is in my sig.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can I copy a button style in flash catalyst

    Is it possible to copy a button style? I want all my buttons to fade and move to the same place however they all look different. Please let me know.
    thank you and God Bless

    See which form of ActionScript you used to make the site.
    Open the Actions panel and see whether you've chosen AS versions 1
    & 2, or AS 3. If you've picked the earlier versions, you can
    attach a link easily to each button by clicking on the button, and
    adding a little code in the Actions panel. Turn on ScriptAssist to
    make it easier. Click on "on" and choose "release" or "press" or
    both. Then scroll down the commands on the left and add getURL. You
    will then have a few lines that say something like, on(Release)
    getURL("putyourpageurlhere"). See bottom for exact syntax. That's
    all. The new .html or .php page will load when the button is
    clicked.
    If your buttons are not actually four-state buttons, but
    graphic or movie clip symbols, you will have do it a little
    differently. Instead of attaching the code to a button, you attach
    it to a keyframe. You give your symbol an instance name in the
    property panel, then in the Actions panel create a function that
    says essentially: when you click on this instance (onRelease)
    getURL.
    If you're using AS3, the concept is similar but the code is
    different. With a quick search you can find dozens of code examples
    that you can cut and paste.
    Here's that AS2 button code...

  • How to turn off automatic button style in "normal state"

    Hi everyone,
    I have 2 different button styles (both from the palette menu) in my main menu. The problem is when I try to change the color of the first one in its "normal state" it effects all the other buttons. I just want it to effect one button at a time. How do I do this? Thanks much.
    Rich

    Sorry, This is a DVD Spec thing. However you can set different color values or grayscales settings for each button (up to 4 I believe) and assigned those different colors or grey scales different values.

  • Adding a tag into a button style

    How can I include a tag in a styled form,
    This is the tag
    {tag_confirmation_form,Confirm}
    Id like it to be style up like this:
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Confirm</button>

    TableViews are not really supposed to be implementations of spreadsheets; they're perhaps more akin to HTML tables, but with far more sophisticated UI capabilities.
    You don't need an explicit "Add" button, even with the usual external "add new row" controls you see in the examples. You can register an event handler with one or more text fields, so that a new row is added to the table when the user presses enter. If you also do some intelligent focus requests and clear out the text fields when new rows are added, you can make a pretty slick UI where the user can just repeat a type-tab-type-tab-type-enter cycle to add rows. (This doesn't preclude having an "Add" button to support using the mouse as well.)
    To more closely mimic Excel (or perhaps Access tables), you need to manipulate the item list in sophisticated ways. For example, you could wrap the "real" list in a list which adds a blank object at the end. This would mimic the Access table style, where you see the data in the table and then an extra row at the bottom for editing and adding new records. This might be pretty tricky to get just right; you will need to add new data to the "real" list when the user starts editing, then make sure the editing state is correctly preserved.
    For a real Excel-like feel, you could simply have an item list with a very large number of entries, most of which would be default values (objects with all properties set to "" or null). Then the user could scroll, click, and edit as they pleased. You'd have no control over them leaving a large number of blank rows and then adding an entry way further down (but Excel allows this too...). I don't know how this would impact performance, but the TableView should be able to handle it. Scrolling might not be very intuitive.

  • Custom Button Component, addChild adds behind button style

    Hello,
    I'm making a custom button with a brandinglogo on it. The branding logo is an mc that changes logo depending on the area of the user.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Button xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" styleName="branding" addedToStage="addBranding()">
         <mx:Style source="styles/styles.css"/>
         <mx:Script>
              <![CDATA[
                   import mx.core.UIComponent;
                   import localisation.BrandingLogo;
                   private var brandCont:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
                   private var brandLogo:BrandingLogo = new BrandingLogo();
                   private function addBranding():void
                        addChild( brandCont );
                        brandCont.addChild( brandLogo );
                        setChildIndex( brandCont, numChildren-1 );
              ]]>
         </mx:Script>
    </mx:Button>
    But for some reason it puts the logo behind the button. Any idea's?

    "createChildren()" is one of the core lifecycle methods of UIComponent. It is called once when a component is first added to the display-list. You override this method if you want to add additional child objects to your component. It is described at the links below, but the best way to learn about how to use these core methods is by browsing the Flex SDK source code:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/ascomponents_advanced_3.html
    http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flex/3/langref/mx/core/UIComponent.html#createChildren()
    The layoutContents() method is an mx_internal method of Button. It isn't documented, so the only way to learn about it is by looking at the source code for the Button class.
    The following code may help you get started:
    package
    import flash.display.DisplayObject;
    import mx.controls.Button;
    import mx.core.mx_internal;
    use namespace mx_internal;
    public class CustomButton extends Button
      private var extraLogo : Logo;
      protected override function createChildren() : void
       super.createChildren();
       extraLogo = new Logo();
       addChild( extraLogo );
      override mx_internal function layoutContents(
         unscaledWidth:Number,
         unscaledHeight:Number,
         offset:Boolean):void
          super.layoutContents( unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight, offset );
             if (currentSkin)
                 setChildIndex(DisplayObject(currentSkin), numChildren - 1);
             if (currentIcon)
                 setChildIndex(DisplayObject(currentIcon), numChildren - 1);
             if (extraLogo)
                 setChildIndex(DisplayObject(extraLogo), numChildren - 1);   
             if (textField)
                 setChildIndex(DisplayObject(textField), numChildren - 1);

  • Cannot edit the answers or the button styles in a drag and drop quiz?

    As you see the submit button does not actually appear..on hover it shows the area..the clear also doesn't appear, i have put that externally on the slide...I am unable to format the responses as well...doing a classroom project, need help soon..

    What parts are you finding inelegantI was a little worried about the possibility of the image lagging behind the mouse pointer. If the application was repainting every time it got a mouse motion event, it might not keep up. And, of course, there is a level-of-effort consideration for the implementation.
    Custom cursors?This was actually my first thought. It would certainly be the easiest solution. I've done custom cursors before, but I was a bit worried about the overhead... Not that I have any specific reason, it's just that the application would be changing cursors quite often and I'm used to thinking of cursors as a special system resource that an application shouldn't mess with... Of course, what was true 20 years ago, is not necessarily true today.
    Does anyone know if this would be an issue? Can I use custom cursors reasonably freely without serious impact on the graphics subsystem?

  • Maybe enhancement request: File Browse item with Button in template style.

    When I use a file browse item on a page it gets a standard HTML button. This looks a bit out of place among all the other template style buttons.
    Is there a way to give the file browse button a template button style?

    Hi Rene,
    there is a nice workaround available.
    You just need to create some css changes:
    /* this one hides the original button + field */
    input.file {
         position: relative;
         text-align: right;
         -moz-opacity:0 ;
         filter:alpha(opacity: 0);
         opacity: 0;
         z-index: 2;
    }Now you have to choose which solution you like most:

    Seems like a nice plug-in solution. :)

  • Safari displays button ... /button in Windows style

    I am adding a new button to a web page. Up to now I have used <form><input type=button ...></form> out of habit, which works perfectly well. Today I thought I should try <button ...></button> as being a bit shorter, and in any case this is not really a form.
    However, Safari 2.0.3 chooses to display this as a rectangular Windows-style button, rather than the normal OS X button. Using Netscape under Windows XP things look consistent.
    How can I get Safari to use a different button style? The button works just fine when I click it, but I want style consistency here - thanks.
    Mac Mini 1.42GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    html allows a button attribute of Type - with values of Button,Reset & Submit.
    Seems like safari uses a different type for form...button ( presumably the submit type?) and for plain button (likely the button type )
    specifying the button type should give consistent results. Guess you can do this in a css to save adding it to every instance.
