Can I disable buttons & links?

I have a flash interface with several buttons and hypertext
links on the stage. When a user clicks a button, a panel appears,
hiding the other buttons.
Q. Is there a way to automatically disable the buttons &
text links when they are covered over by the panel? At he moment if
a user rolls over the location of a text link, even though it is
hidden by the covering panel, it is still active. I am hoping I
don't have to dynamically delete the text and buttons when they are
not in use.
Thanks,
Geoff

you can cover it with invisible button (button with just HIT
state in size
of the area you try to disable)
Flash can't interact across buttons, the very top button take
the focus.
Than you set that button not to turn the pointer into hand
cursor so no one
will be confused and no links will be active.
Give the button instance name like "blinder" and place this
on timeline frame
blinder.useHandCursor = false;

  • Can I disable the LINK button at the top of the toolbar.

    I don't know how many times I've accidentally clicked the link button when I went to select the pointer tool and been taken away from indesign and into my browser. Frustrating and adding up to lots of loss of productivity.
    Is there a way this button can be disabled? The wide button above the select and direct select tools at the very top of the tools palette that when clicked links to: http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/ --- anyway to disable this?
    Thanks

    >I don't know how many times I've accidentally clicked the link button when I went to select the pointer tool.
    I would suggest use a more accurate curser moving device than you have now. I use a Wacom and have never accidently hit the link.

  • How can i disable a link/button after clicked while content active

    hello all
    i am building a website all on one page and am using the
    spry framework so that it displays when clicked fades in
    the issue is i dont want the link to work again after its been
    clicked ie when the link is active then
    when another link is clicked it is re activated and
    can be used again!?
    i am using the behaviours panel in dreamweaver?
    cant seem to find an option to
    toggle this function
    i am not great at js or html
    but any help would be appreciated!
    many thanks
    ]p

    Because we are not privy to your code I shall answer this in general.
    You can use the Spry Element Selector to target your link and to disable that link. When clicking another link you could cycle through your links and enable them before disabling the newly clicked link.
    More info on the Spry Element Selector can be found here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/element_selector/index.html and here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/element_selector/selector_examples.html

  • Can there be buttons/links on or in flash object?

    Hi, I have no idea how to ask this question properly. I am only designing this, not making it, so simple answers for me would be good, but also technical answers that I can pass on to the flash person.
    On my home page, I am going to have 3 images that switch out, each that need to have a "learn more >" link and a 1, 2, 3, and pause buttons.
    My question is whether or not these image buttons/links can be placed on or embedded in the flash object. I read this is not possible and that buttons or links have to be separate from flash. Ideally if I wanted to place a "go" button on top of my flash image, that would be great.
    However I have been told the only option is to make one side of this in photoshop where I have the buttons and then place that next to the flash image. My example of this would be the msn.com home page.
    If further descriptions are needed I can post an example.

    Your image hasn't loaded yet, so I'll describe what you should do.  Chances are you will only need one set of buttons to manage everything rather than creating a set for each image.
    If you want to convert each of these items into usable buttons, then select one of them, being sure that all its pieces are selected, then right click on it and select Convert to Symbol ( select it and in the toolbar choose Modify -> Convert to Symbol).
    In the interface that appears, select Button (you could also select MovieClip, but for now, select Button) and give it a name that relates to its functionality in some way, just so it is recognizable by its name in the library.  Click OK.
    Do that for all of the items you want to turn into buttons.  To make things easier to manage, you should place the buttons on their own layer in the timeline.
    If you are handing this over to someone who knows Flash, they should be able to deal with coding the buttons to function the way you want.

  • Can we disable subtab link?

    Hi All,
    From dev's guide, there is a way to hide subtab using hideSubTab(). But is there a way we can keep all subtabs (then user know how many subtabs there) but limit user to go other subtabs util some conditions are valid?
    Thanks & Regards,
    KJ

    Hi Tapash,
    Thanks for the solution and it works!!
    Here is my code in processRequest()
    OALinkBean pubSubTabLink =
    (OALinkBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("PubSubTabLink");
    if(pubSubTabLink != null)
    pubSubTabLink.setDisabled(true);
    Another question is, how do I enable it from AM? My idea is, create couple AM instance variables as flags (I have total 4 subtabs). For each form submitted (action fired), processFormRequest will check this instance variable to decide either enable or disable the subtab link. Is this a right approach?
    Thanks & Regards,
    KJ

    There is an addon that solves this problem. It restores the "original" status bar like on 3.6 and the pop-up is GONE!!

  • Hi - the "Add This" extension is incompatible with Gmail on Safari - causes buttons/links to deactivate, Hi - the "Add This" extension is incompatible with Gmail on Safari - causes buttons/links to deactivate

    Hi
    Macbook Pro 13, OS X 10.7.4, Safari (latest rev).
    I have discovered that the "Add This" extension with Safari causes Gmail to disable buttons/links.  Disabling "Add This" clears the problem.  Needs fixing!
    Thanks
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    MacBook Pro 15, OS X 10.8.5, Safari
    Thanks for posting this information.  I had been searching for a solution to this same problem and came across your post.  I am not even sure how or why I got "Add This" in the first place but have deleted and problem solved. 
    Thanks,

  • How Can I Disable "Live" Web Links in a PDF

    I have a pdf which is assembled from a variety of original documents, including one document that has a dozen or so "live" url links to websites.  I didn't create the document in question, and I don't have access to the original word processing file.
    I need to upload the whole document to a website that will not accept pdfs with live links.  (It's a filing in a legal action, and the website is operated by a court.)  The website support people have told me to remove or disable the links.
    This ought to be easy, but I can't figure it out.  I can't edit the source document to deactivate the links, (i) becasue I don't have it, and (ii) because it's a part of the record that shouldn't be modified without some form of formal process.
    I tried scanning the pages with the links, with the thought that I would replace the original pages with scanned pages.  But the court requires text searchable documents, and the OCR process identified the links as urls and created live links.
    If there's a basic setting that turns deactivates web links in the text, I haven't found it.
    Grateful for all suggestions.
    Tom

    Thanks for the thought, but the document in question has already been reviewed by the technical department of the court's website help desk.  They have identified the website addresses in the text as the reason why their system won't accept it and directed me to remove them.  They refer to the addresses as "hyperlinks," which led me to believe that there was a separate link object involved.
    However, from what I've learned here tonight, the problem is Acrobat's default behavior in parsing a text string that begins with "http:"
    There are a number of ways to handle the problem, all of which involve a little bit of busy work, but it's not a big deal.
    It's just it would have been easier if there were some preference I could enable before re-saving the document that did the trick.  Now that I think about it, a programmer could probably create an external routine (I assume such things exist for pdf files?) that would "mask" the http string from the parsing engine, or otherwise instruct the application not to generate a live link.  But such a routine itself would probably be rejected as as "code which may cause an external action," and there's probably no way to distinguish "good" external routines from malware.
    Cheers,
    Tom

  • How can i disable a submit button and execute submit_action method on click

    Good Day,
    On my page I have a submit button that execute the submit_action method of the page backing bean that submit data captured on the page into a database and activate another class that send mail at the same time on a click of the submit button,the mail process takes a while before returning back to the page.I was able to disable the submit button to prevent the user from keep click while the process is running but the issue is on clicking the submit button it only disable the submit button without executing the submit_action method of the page backing bean.How can i disable the submit button and execute submit_method of the backing bean at the same time.
    Thanks in advance.

    I tried this out on one of my pages to see if it works.
    First, I added the following JavaScript to my submit button's onClick event:
    this.disabled=true; return true;When I clicked the submit button, it was disabled but the form was not submitted.
    I deleted the JavaScript from the onClick event and added the following JavaScript to the form's onSubmit event:
    var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); button.disabled=true; return true;When I click the submit button, it was disabled and the form was submitted but the button's action method was not called.
    The next thing I tried was to change the onSubmit event code:
    var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); setTimeout("button.disabled=true", 500); return true;This seemed to work. The difference was that I added a 1/2 second delay before disabling the button.
    See if that works for you. If not then I'm fresh out of ideas.

    Do it thru its action:
    //Deactivate a button disabling its action
    //You can see it but clicking it does nothing
    wdGetACTION_NAMEAction().setEnabled(false);
    //Get it's funcionality back
    wdGetACTION_NAMEAction().setEnabled(true);
    Or you could hide it using an attribute of type WDVisibility binded to its visible property.
    //Hide it
    wdContext.currentContextElement.setATTRIBUTE(WDVisibility.NONE);
    //and Show it
    wdContext.currentContextElement.setATTRIBUTE(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
