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.

    Nothing I have tried in the template makes the BODY tag editable. That's why I'm wondering how to disconnect the template from the individual pages. Adding an ID to each body tag is a prerequisite of the how-to page you supplied.
    You don't make the <body> tag editable in a Template.
    You make attributes of the <body> tag editable.
    Don't disconnect the Template from the child pages.

    In the Template:
    Select the <body> tag (either in the Tag selector or click inside the <body> tag in Code View)
    Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
    Select ID from the Attribute dropdown menu
    If there's no existing ID attribute then click Add and type ID into the next dialogue box
    Attribute: ID
    Check the box to "Make attribute editable"
    Enter anything into the Label field as a default e.g. foo
    OK
    Dreamweaver will change the <body> tag to read <body id="@@(foo)@@"....
    Now the ID is editable
    Save the Template and update the child page
    In each child page:
    Modify > Template Properties
    Select the id attribute from the list (it's probably the only one listed)
    Change its name in the box to whatever name matches your CSS rule for the active state for that page

  • Button "Selected State" bug confirmed for Blu-ray on Mac

    I just confirmed today with Adobe tech support that, at the moment, menu button selected states are invisible on Blu-ray discs created with Encore on a Mac.
    Meaning, if you have 5 buttons linked to 5 different places, the buttons will all work, but you will have no idea what you're selected on- because they are invisible! There will be no "highlight" or "selected" state for the button. Once selected, you will see the "activated state" for the button for a split second, then it will take you to the proper target track. But again, no way of knowing what buttons are selected.
    They said if the video/menu assets are 4:3, the buttons work fine. Good to know, but a completely ridiculous suggestion.
    At the moment, there is no solution. They are "working on it."
    This is only a problem with Blu-ray projects on the Mac platform. Lucky me. To a hobbyist, this isn't a completely devastating problem- you can still watch the content of the disc. But this is enough of a problem for that I can't deliver it to clients like this. Wasted time and money troubleshooting this. This is a major problem.

    Adam. When you see the LAYERS window, click on and off on your highlights. There is a small white looking box. Deactivate and activate this. This will activate the selected and activated states. We had this problem a long time ago and found this to be the solution!

  • Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

    Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
    I have the following problem:
    When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
    The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
    When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
    But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
    ·Photoshop CS3
    ·InDesign CS3
    ·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
    ·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
    ·Printer profile: ISO Coated
    How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
    Thanks a lot!

    RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
    In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
    Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
    That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
    Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

  • Video in button Selected state?

    I'm rusty in DVDSP - been a couple of years since my last DVD menu project, but I have one now and the client has provided the menu art and description of what they want - but there are 2 items I'm not sure if I can include the way they want, and before I re-prep their art for Studio Pro (because, of course, it was prepped as if for print), I want to determine the best course to take, and reset their expectations, if necessary.
    1) They want video to play in a button, but only when it is selected - I can drop video in using shapes, but it's playing in all states. I can't use a layered menu, because the background also is motion (subtle looping, but motion just the same). Thought maybe I'd build the motion in the buttons and mask over with a still in normal state, reveal in selected, but can't seem to get there. So any ideas, or am I spinning my wheels trying to accomplish?
    2) They've prepped the buttons as if rollovers in a Flash presentation - the normal state has an image with a white border around it and title underneath - but the selected state has those as black PLUS a small arrow pointing at the title. I can't do a straight shape with text, because the arrow element will be present in all states. I can't do a layered menu because of the motion background. So what I've come up with is embedding the normal states of the button (white, without the arrow) into the motion background, and then create a shape with the text (black, with the arrow) but with only the highlight layer and no shape layer so that only the black highlight layer shows up over it when selected. This works, but I have to position it PRECISELY over the background normal button, or else white edges show and it gets ugly. So, is there a better way to do this that I'm overlooking?
    Thanks very much to anyone who has taken the time to read this novel, and even more thanks to anyone who has some insight into any possible solutions (or lack thereof).

    There is another way, but it's tricky.
    You create a series of menus that are almost identical. In the first, all buttons show still images, and the button auto activates to a copy of the menu where the appropriate button shows a video. If you have four buttons, you'll need five menus all exactly the same except in the last four, single buttons have video, others are stills. Every button that is a still auto activates to go to the appropriate menu where that button has video. Every video based button links to the relevant track.
    In practice, the user will see a still image, and when they select it (or roll over with a mouse if on a computer) the menu will jump to the associated sub menu where that button now has video and the others show stills.
    The problem here is that on some (most) players there will be a pause between the menus, and it won't be a slick and quick change.
    Using the masking technique is better in lots of ways, however as Drew said it will be hard to match the colours. Also, the mask shape will need to be your 'still' image (which might help obscure the colour differences) and this can only have four colours.
    A further consideration is that the mask shape will be part of the button highlight (well.... it will BE the button highlight) and as such will exist in the subpicture stream. It is impossible to guarantee that this will stay in place or be in place when leaving or entering a menu. In effect, when you click a button the first thing to disappear is the sub picture stream, which means all of your videos will be visible for a fraction of a second, or perhaps slightly longer. Secondly, when entering a menu, the last thing to be created is the subpicture stream, which means that all of your button videos will be showing for a fraction of a second until they get covered.
    The amount of delay in each case will depend on the player. For some it'll be tiny. For others it'll be seconds and will ruin the effect you are looking for.
    I would probably prefer the delay as you change menus to the revelation of all the button videos, but you'll have to decide for yourself which is better!

  • MX:Button Selected State

    I'm working on a bug https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-16197 And trying to test a fix that I worked out, and now I'm realizing that I don't know when a button enters the "selected" state.  I placed a trace statement in the setter function for selected, and I couldn't figure out how to get it to fire.  I tried clicking, tabbing to it so it had focus, using space bar while it had focus. 
    When is a button considered selected?

    A button must have toggle=true in order to stay in the selected state and will dispatch a CHANGE event when changing the selected property.

  • Why do text boxes show up as different colors when they are the same color?

    I am baffled. I have created an InDesign document and I used the rectangle tool to create a blue box at the top of the document and one at the bottom. They are both filled with CMYK (100, 88, 35, 28). The one on the top of the document shows darker than the one at the bottom. I thought it was a document issue, so I created a new document. It does the same thing. I took the box at the top and moved it to the bottom and when it hit the half way point of the document, it changed colors (got lighter).
    Any suggestions? Thanks.
    Liz

    No, what was once dark is now light and vice-a-versa. See screen capture above. When I rotate the page 180 degrees, here is what I get.

  • Why is a Screenshot a different color when dropped back in to iWeb in Safar

    First post ever, new to iWeb. I took screenshot of an image and dropped the screenshot PNG back into my iweb pages. It blends correctly with the background color in IE (on a Vista PC) and Firefox on both Mac and PC but the color has shifted significantly in Safari so it doesn't blend at all. Is this a color profile issue with Safari? and if so how do I change the png to match the background file? Thanks...

    Thanks Alancito for the response. I changed my Mac to 2.2 Gamma etc as your link suggested but it did not help. Its not really a color from monitor to monitor or monitor to printer issue.
    The issue occurs because of the way Safari handles the snapshot of the section of the iWeb page - it is darker than the background therefore it doesn't blend. IE and Firefox show the blend correctly because they are ignoring the color profiles. Safari is looking for color profiles so the solution seems to be to change the snapshot color profile to match the iWeb background profile. I don't know what that is, how to do it or where to do it. Any suggestions?

  • Error occuring in SELECT statement FOR UPDATE when using WITH cluase

    Hi,
    Iam using oracle 11g version
    Iam having a query with fetch records for update insid with cluase as
    cursor c1 is
    With abc as (
    SELECT col1,col2 from table1, table2 where < condition>
    for update of <col1> skip locked
    select * from abc,table3 where <condition>
    union all
    select * from table4 where id not in (select * from abc)
    if i add "for update of <col1> skip locked" this cluase
    iam getting error ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
    when i remove "for update of <col1> skip locked" the block is working fine..
    can i know why error is occuring i

    Hi, first of all, your placing of "for update" clause is wrong. It should be at the end like:
    With abc as (
    SELECT col1,col2 from table1, table2 where < condition>
    select * from abc,table3 where <condition>
    union all
    select * from table4 where id not in (select * from abc)
    for update of <col1> skip locked;Second, if you try to compile it with this syntax then you will get a new error.
    ORA-01786:     FOR UPDATE of this query expression is not allowed
    Cause:     An attempt was made to use a FOR UPDATE clause on the result of a set expression involving GROUP BY, DISTINCT, UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS.
    Action:     Check the syntax, remove the FOR UPDATE clause, and retry the statement.So, you will not be successful with the union clause in your query.

  • SELECT returning different rows when issued from SQL Developer or Java apps

    Hi there. I'm facing a problem here: I'm trying to issue a SELECT from Java, which should return me 2 rows; but I'm getting just one. When I issue the SELECT directly through SQL Developer it gives me the expected result. I've pastebin the code at http://paste.uni.cc/11821, where I've described in details the problem.
    What could it be? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Marco,
    I would code it a bit differently, but I don't think that would solve your problem.
    I suggest setting up the JDBC logging. I'm not promising it will help, but I guess it
    can't hurt. Here is a white paper about it:

  • Press power button, No post, No Video. 20 seconds later power button flashes many different colors

    Hi, Hope someone can be of help here.  Working with one of the newer A135's w/ vista.  Plugged in all looks good, charging light and all but when you press the power button all looks good at first but about 20 seconds into unit powered up, no post, no video no nothing I get the power light bar changing colors, it goes from dark blue to light blue to orange to amber to green and starts all over again.  It appears that there are not too many people with the same problem so only actual support would be appreciated.  I can solder to component level so if anyone has a schematic and area of potential search for the bum chip it would be greatly appreciated! 

    Hello Chatbox,
    I can understand your issue very well, as there is no message comes on the screen which gives you information to plug the power adapter and prevent the laptop to get shut down.
    You should install Power Manager software and then customize it as per your requirement.
    The software can be download from the mentioned below web link.
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/8mu417ww.exe
    Hope, after this laptop will not shut down automatically due to battery backup
    Best Regards,

  • Menu Window Show button selected state icons not visible

    Hello everyone. I am a new user of DSP3 (3days old), and I am not seeing the 3 Button state icons at the bottom of the menu window. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Remember I'm new, so be gentle.

    This could be as simple as you not having a wide enough screen setting. Resizing the main work area from right to left makes those three buttons disappear before anything else. If you can, try expanding the area by dragging the bottom right corner out to the right some more.
    If this isn't working, you may need to adjust your screen resolution so that you can see more window area even though things look smaller.

  • Fade button to a different color

    Hey everyone.
    Sorry if I'm posting questions that've been answered before.
    I'm very new to Flash and Flex and I'm new to the terminology, so I
    don't always know what to search for.
    I'm wondering if there's a simple way to fade the text on a
    button from one color to another on rollover. I have a button with
    zero fill alpha (it just appears as text), and no matter what I do,
    I can't get the text to fade from its default color (white) to gray
    on over.
    I've been Googling this for several hours, and can't find a
    solution. Any help would be great.
    Thanks!
    Joe

    Okay, Joe, just because you bought a book, here is one idea
    that might help :)
    1) Create a new class from Button, let's just call it XButton
    and expose the underlying textfiled:
    package
    import mx.controls.Button;
    import mx.core.UITextField;
    public class XButton extends Button
    public function textFieldX() : UITextField {
    return this.textField;
    2) write a text app and let's try blur *only* on the text:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    xmlns:local="*">
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    import mx.effects.Blur;
    import mx.effects.Fade;
    private function mo(event:MouseEvent) : void {
    var b:Blur = new Blur();
    b.play([this.t1.textFieldX()]);
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <local:XButton label="Howdy?" color="white" id="t1"
    mouseOver="mo(event)"/>
    </mx:Application>
    works?
    3) Create your tween effect by extending TweenEffect class
    and use that effect instead of blur!
    Hope this helps.
    ATTA
    P.S. as for your $20, please have beer on me, if works
    :)
