Button with dual functionality

Is there a way to create a button that has a rollover caption?
I want the user to be able to rollover the button and text to show up over the button, kinda like a tool tip, and the text to disappear when the user rolls off the button.... but the button need to function as a button (need to navigate to a differnt slide).
I hope this maks sense.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there
Sure thing. Insert a standard button. Then click the Options tab.
Enable the Hint caption.
Cheers... Rick

Two button with single function

I want to create two buttons for single function and one button for one function. For example, I click button1, the screen will show "clicked1"
If I clicked button2, the screen will show "clicked2". If I click button1 and then click button2, it will show "two button are clicked". However, it does not work in two button with single function. What is the problem? Here is the code.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var button1:MovieClip=new Button1();
button1.x=200;
button1.y=200;
addChild(button1);
var button2:MovieClip=new Button2();
button2.x=300;
button2.y=250;
addChild(button2);
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2);
var isClicked:Boolean;
var isClicked1:Boolean;
function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{
          isClicked=true;
          trace("clicked1");
function onClick2(evt:MouseEvent):void{
          isClicked1=true;
          trace("clicked2");
if (isClicked&&isClicked1){
          trace("two buttons are clicked");

It works but I want the screen only shows the "isClicked" only when I click button1. But now when I click button1, "isClicked" and "two buttons are clicked" show at the same time.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var button1:MovieClip=new Button1();
button1.x=200;
button1.y=200;
addChild(button1);
var button2:MovieClip=new Button2();
button2.x=300;
button2.y=250;
addChild(button2);
var isClicked:Boolean;
var isClicked1:Boolean;
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2);
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick3);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick3);
function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{
          isClicked=true;
          trace("clicked1");
function onClick2(evt:MouseEvent):void{
          isClicked1=true;
          trace("clicked2");
function onClick3(evt:MouseEvent):void{
          trace("two buttons are clicked");

Adding a button with zoom function

Hello,
I am working on a product catalog and for this purpose we have used a professional photographer to shoot product photos. The photos are really nice and they can be zoomed in to see every detail clearly. The photos have been inserted into the pdf catalog but because of the limited space they are not very detailed.
Is it possible to add a button or link with zoom function? For example, an icon such as a magnifier or just the word zoom so when a user clicks it, it will zoom in the pre set area to a pre set level and center it.
Sounds quite fancy right? Maybe i'm thinking the impossible... but it's worth a try here :)
Regards,
Rudi

ok. i got it! :))
i have made some changes myself. When the mouse enters button1, button2 becomes visible and button1 becomes hidden (otherwise it is overlapping button2). I have set this in the actions of button1. I would also add the following function: when visible button2 is clicked it hides button2 (this you have already shown and works) and makes button1 visible again. I guess making button1 visible again has to be done with a Javascript in the actions of button2 under mouse up.
I have no knowledge of programming. Can you tell me how to do this?
After i openen the pdf file and used this function and close the pdf file it asks to save the pdf file. How can i prevent this to show up? I dont want this to happen to my customers.
Is it possible to see the exact dimensions of the button? Then i could create both buttons so that they fit in my catalog exactly as i want them, and then check the dimensions and scale my photos to it. Although it seems that Acrobat does something with the photo size already as the photo in button2 is 34mb while the pdf file is only 200kb.
thanks.
rudi
BTW this is really a well thought out solution and i think not many people are aware of this because i have never seen it before

Actionlistener - for multiple buttons with similar functionality

Hi, all:
I'm working on a calculator program and want to know how to go about making a generic ActionListener for all the functions (i.e. +,-,*,/) so that I don't have to write separate inner classes for each function (i.e. + button, - button, etc.).
I think this generic class should be created within a method that takes parameters. The parameters are then used within the inner class.
What I need to know specifically is whether it's possible to pass a string operator symbol (e.g. "+" or "-") as a parameter in the following context:
class buttonListener implements ActionListener
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
intField1Val + intFieldVal2;
in this case, the "+" would be the parameter that would change depending on the values provided to the method.
Can this be done??
I'd also appreciate any other feedback you can give m,e on this problem (i.e. how to set up the method...basic structure??)
Thanks!!

Hi there,
One way to do this is as follows:
Button plus = new Button("+");
Button minus = new Button("-");
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String componentHit = e.getActionCommand();
if (componentHit == "+") {
doAddMeth(); // implemented elsewhere
else
if (componentHit == "-") {
doSubMeth(); // implemented elsewhere

Button with 2 functions

HI there
I have a button which triggers different object states. They are basically a series of "+"buttons that show more info. When one is pressed, it naturally closes any other open info box and shows its own.
the added fucntion we need is if the button is tapped a second time (while it's state is active), it needs to then hide it's state so no states are showing.
is this possiblE?
thanks!
Steve

Yes, you can do this by copying each button to the MSO state in the same place as the original button and pointing that copied button to the invisible state. When the state is selected, the copied button then pops on top of the parent button. Here are the basic steps:
1. Create your MSO with three states: Base, State B, and State C.
2. Create two buttons next to the MSO. One points jumps to State B, the other points to State C.
3. In the Object States panel, select State B. Select the first button, copy it, and paste in place. With the pasted button still selected, Shift-click to select the MSO, and then click the Add button (not the New button) to add the button to State B. Then edit the button to jump to the Base state.
4. Do the same thing with the other button.
5. Test.

PlayAll Button with dual navigation properties

Hi! I've created a music dvd with 5 individual tracks, one for each song. Each track has a video background and a subtitle track which serves as real time lyrics for singing along (a church worship dvd).
I have two menus: the first play setup up menu allows the end user to choose a variety of playback options (e.g. play with/without lyrics and with/without music). One button connects to the playall script and another to the second menu that is an individual song selection menu.
I've used the playall script that's in the book and have also created all the end scripts for the tracks. The way it's setup currently is that when someone chooses a track from the second menu, at the end of the track (or if the remote menu button is used), it returns to the second menu with the proper button highlighted. That's great.
However, I would also like to have this option. If the playall button is selected from the first menu, I'd like the last track to return to the first menu with the playall button highlighted. Also, if the playall button is used, and the user hits the menu button on the remote during playback to return to the first menu. Is this possible?
Peace, BJ

The script for the end jump of the last track if play all is selected should be to menu::button (wherever you want it to go - this is the script at page 512 of the PDF or so?) And you would also have to set the menu command for each track to go to a script that sends playback to the menu you want to go to. Effectively something like this:
Menu Remote Command Script
jump Menu::PlayAll Button (if GPRM 0 =1)//play all selected so goes there
jump scenemenu::Button//scene selected since GPRM 0 != 1 so jump there
You can use stories for this also
For instance alace marker at the beginning (which is done by default) and end of every track So each track has 2 markers, A (start one) and B(last one) [I am using A and B just so make it easier for us to talk about, name them anything]
Each track is T and number (so T1 is track 1, etc.)
On track 1
Story: PLAYALLT1
and put marker T1A in it
on track 2
Story:PLAYALLT2
and put marker T2A in it
on track 3
Story:PLAYALLT3
and put marker T3A in it
Each of the stories play all the material starting at marker A and ending at marker B (material at and after Marker B will not be played)
Then set the end jump for each story to the next
Set a button on a menu to jump to the PLAYALL1 story and it will play all three stories in order.
To access just the individual track just target the track and not the story, or duplicate the Play All Story for each track as a "solo" Story and set the end jump for each story back to the menu you want. (You can also set the menu button jump easily for each story). Take a look below for some info.

Dual Function Button

I have a series of panels that slide into position when selected. I have a button on each panel with an arrow pointing to the right indicating a transition to the open state. I have created the interaction that when clicked 'we' move from the "Home" page/state to "Card#1" page/state. Now I want to spin the button 180 degrees so it is now pointing left (the closed/home page/state) and on click I now want the functionality to reverse and move the card back to the "Home" page/state from "Card#1" page/state. Because I do not know how to add the dual functionality I need help. I can conceive of two solutions:
1 - create a second button that is identical to the first and on the transition replace the first "Open" button with the second which will have the interactions to "Close" the "Card#1" page/state returning to the "Home" page/state. But this just adds overhead and more graphics to an already graphically intense project.
2 - figure out how to somehow trigger a change in functionality, based on the current page/state and just use the one button. Something like...
          If page/state = "Home"
               Button Interaction = transition to "Card#1" page/state
          else
               Button Interaction = transition to "Home" page/state
Can anyone offer some advice on what my best approach might be?

I figured this out. Using the "When in State" functionality while defining the button interaction did the trick.

Use of business partner functionality in combination with dual control

Is there a generally agreed upon procedure to use the business partner functionality in combination with dual control? The problem is that when you block a business partner, the customer/ vendor master data aren't blocked automatically. You can then still use them in transactions, which leads to problems.
So is there a way to make this work or a procedure to do this?
Niels Vanwingh

Thanks Masa,
I did notice the 'Add external supplier from' in create supplier or bidder option. However there is a small catch and your experience may help.
Let me explain the requirement and scenario here in SRM 7.
We are implementing the Registration of Supplier scenario; both ROS and SRM are in same client. When a potential supplier registers themselves in the registration system, a BP number is created (an Internal number range is defined for this). After accepting the potential supplier in pre-select screen the purchaser has two options to transfer the potential supplier from the ROS system to SRM
Option 1: He can select the accepted potential supplier from the supplier directory option and transfer the business partner to SRM. In this case the business partner number of the potential supplier is retained in SRM and a business partner with supplier and bidder tag is created. However the purchaser does not have any option to select which type of business partner he would like to create like supplier or bidder.
Option 2: Purchase can go to create supplier or bidder option and choose the u2018Add external supplier formu2019 from the ROS system and create the business partner. The ROS business partner details are copied to the create supplier screen, but the purchaser have to provide an external business partner number for the supplier. This is because we have defined external number range for business partner for the vendors that are replicated from ERP to SRM.
Objective is the ROS business partner should be retained in SRM with option to create as supplier and bidder and then manually create ERP supplier with same SRM BP number and map against SRM supplier.
Is there any way we can achieve this?
In SRM 5.5 with Manage business partner functionality we could achieve as system give us the option which business partner type we would like to create as well as retains the ROS BP number in SRM.

Sandeep

Hello, is the any way to move a button to the another page with his functions?
I can't creat a new button, because I need all the function that contains the button original. I use it now, but it is not ok for to change te page because it has not the paramater location.... :
var newAddRect=[addRect[0], addRect[1] + delta -1, addRect[2],addRect[3] + delta -1];
btnAdd.rect = newAddRect;
I saw the propierty: button.page, but is only for read.
I know about the propierty Action of the button, and I know that I could assign the code... but I descarted because it's will generate a recursive code....
Can I use in the button.Action the call a trusted function ?
Thank you!
Regards.

Rollover button css styled with php function: possible?

Hi,
I created a working rollover button css styled, with normal href links, using this html:
<a href="link"><click here>Text</a>
But I would like to know how I can create a "contact us" button with following php function included:
<?=createMailto('[email protected]')?>

Well, I wrote the button code as mentioned in my first post, but the button does not call the email php function. When I replace the link in a href="link" with the php function, I can't get it to work.
I have to use href to get the button to display, and to change state on hover; but I don't know how to get the php function to work. Using this function as a plain function call within a regular tag works.

Hello i have a problem with onfocus function on ipad. i am trying to bring my cursor on a text box on a button click. It works fine with safari web browser but not on ipad. Need a solution.

Hello i have a problem with onfocus function on ipad. I am trying to bring my cursor on a text box on a button click. It works fine with safari web browser but not on ipad. Need a solution.

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

My ipad has frozen leaving candy crush, I tried to put it off using the on/off button, but now I have a black screen with no function. I can't read the serial number on the back as it is tiny.! any ideas?

My Ipad mini has frozen leaving Candy crush. I tried to put it off using the on/off button, now the screen is black with no function. I can hear Siri if I push the control. It is charged. Any ideas? I can't read the very small printed serial number on the back so can't use the Apple help as they require the serial number.

Hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button for ~10 seconds, or until the apple logo appears. This is called a reset.

What's wrong with this function

What's wrong with this Function(PL/SQL) in this formaula column definition in Reports 6i
function currdateFormula return Date is
curr_date date;
begin
select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') into curr_date from dual;
return(curr_date);
end;
I get the following error in compiling
REP-1401. 'currdateformula'.Fatal PL/SQL error occured. ORA-01843 not a valid month.
The SQL select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual; worked well in SQL Plus prompt.
I got a clean compile when i use just sysdate in the function (see below).
function currdateFormula return Date is
curr_date date;
begin
select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
return(curr_date);
end;
Appreciate your help
Raja Lakshmi

hello,
what you are trying to do :
fetch the current date and return it as the result of the formula-column.
what you are actually doing :
fetch the current date, convert it to text, assign this text to a date-variable which causes an implicit type-conversion.
in your case you create a date-string with the format dd-mm-yyyy. the implicit conversion then tries to convert this string back to date using the NLS settings of your session. depending on your NLS_LANG and NLS_DATE_FORMAT this might work, if your session-date-format is dd-mm-yyyy which obviously it is NOT as you get the error.
what you should do :
select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
this fetches the sysdate and stores it in your date-variable. there is no type conversion needed what so ever.
