How can I make a button on the PDF form invisible?

Hi all.
I added a submit button to my PDF form but I do not want it to print on the form or appear when the form is e-mailed?
Is there a way to make it invisible before I print or e-mail the document?
If this is not possible, is there a way to add the submit button along with the javascript that needs to run when the PDF is opened?
Thanks!

Set the button's properties to "Visible but doesn't print"

How do you make a button download pdf file in edge animate?

Hi does anyone know the code or know how to make a download button in edge animate, that when you click the button it will fetch a pdf file from your pc root folder and offer it to download.

Hi Wayne,
To make a button download a PDF, you'll have to upload your PDF somewhere online and add the link to your button in Animate using the Open URL button in the actions popup.
Here's a good tutorial which will get you started with some of the basics of Animate, including how to create buttons. The link on your button would just be the URL of your PDF.
Cheers,
Sarah

How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

How can I make a button that on press the object appears and on second press the object to disappear

Hello,
I'm quite new to flash programing, and I don't know how can I make a button that will make the object appear and disappear.Till now I have this code for the appear:
on (press)
    _root.top1.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.topp.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.mm1.gotoAndStop(2);
          _root.m1.gotoAndStop(2);
but from here I'm stuck.
Thank you for your help

What you can do is use the _visible property of the object to make it appear and disappear, or more correctly, use the opoosite of the _visible property. You should not put code "on" objects, keep it in the timeline.
If "object" is the instance name of the object you want to toggle, then in the timeline code you can use...
object._visible = false; // start with the object being invisible
yourButtonName.onRelease = function(){
    object._visible = !object._visible;
That one line in the function sets the object's _visible property to be the opposite of what it currently is.

How can I make my buttons be gone forever?

Just starting out with Flash and have run into a problem. I have several scenes with buttons that can be pressed once and then they disappear using:
myBtn1.onRelease = function(){ this._visible=false}
But when I go back to the scene the buttons reappear. How can I make my buttons be gone forever?

if you have more than 1 button that should be made not visible at any given time, you'll need to use an array to store those button references. otherwise, you can use:
var alreadyRemoved:Boolean;
if(alreadyRemoved){
myBtn1._visible=false;
myBtn1.onRelease=function(){
this._visible=false;
alreadyRemoved=true;

How can I make a button "react"?

This is probably a super silly question, but you know how it is, sometimes we sit on the answer and still can't find it... How can I make a button react to a click? I just want the simple effect of the button changing colors or looking like the user pushed it. Right now it's just the same old plain button, no matter if I click it or not, you can't really tell the difference. How can I give it the "pushing the button" effect? Thanks guys!

You can choose image button and then choose from the available image buttons, or click on the folder icon when you select the image button and choose from the Gallery of Captivate 6.
Few image buttons change color on hover or onclicked, these effects are predefined in them.
Or you can edit that button on which you are working, from properties Panel.
The Post and Cancel button on this thread seems like a transparent button in Captivate with different fill and stroke color, and transparency is also less, and with corner radius of 0.
You will find these all optionns, when you will click on that button and then click on the properties panel.
Thanks.

With some websites (eg the EU Court of Justice) I can't either open or download the pdfs of court judgments - why is this and how do I get things to work?

I have Firefox 4.0.1. Most of the time I can open or download pdfs supplied by business sites without any problem. But sometimes (eg with the EU Court of Justice website) I can no longer do this. I say "no longer" because I could do it with earlier versions of Firefox. The only way I can now get at the EU Court of Justice pdfs and other unobtainable pdfs is to fire up Internet Explorer, which seems a bit silly. How can I get Firefox 4.0.1 to open up / download these pdfs?

I keep getting urgent msgs to download 3.6. I have done so, but the download doesn[t seem to finish completely. How can I make sure the download has occurred? h s

I have dowloaded both 3.6 and 4.1 exe, however, I still get the urgent mesg from firefox. My download file shows that the downloads took place, but I guess they never were completely installed. How can I check to make sure the downloads are installed? Will the urgent messages stop when the downloads are truly installed?'

Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version (doesn't apply to Firefox 3.0.x).
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a (re)install.

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...

Can I make a button not make a slide continue?

Hi.
I looked for this question, but could not find an answer, so I'm hoping I'm re-posting something already answered. If so, I will accept my verbal chasisement.
Anyway...
I am attemping to create a "click and reveal' type interaction in Captivate 4 using buttons and hiding/unhiding objects. Essentially, when the user clicks button A, it will reveal image A and Caption A . When they click button B, through the magic of multiple actions, image A and Caption A will disappear and image B and Caption B will appear....etc. These buttons are at about 5 or so seconds into the timeline.
Around 28 seconds into the slide timeline, I have a "Back" and "Next" button that I use for user navigation instead of using the navigation buttons on the skin. This will pause the slide until the user clicks one of them to be navigated to the next slide or previous slide.
The problem I am running into is that if the user "lingers" on the slide and clicks back and forth between buttons A, B, C, etc. to re-look at all the objects, clicking on any of those buttons will continue the slide which is paused by the "Back and Next" buttons at the end of the timeline. Try as I might, I just can't make the slide pause and wait until the user actually clicks the "Next" or "Back" buttons when I click buttons A, B, and C over and over to re-look at the images and captions.
So is there any way to tell a button NOT to continue the slide? I want my buttons A, B, and C to do the multiple actions i have assigned them (show and hide objects) but do NOT want them to make the slide continue at the pause implemented by my navigation buttons.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Rob

Hi there
Actually I do believe there is a way to make the behavior what you want. But I'll address your issue for making things known to Adobe first. Adobe has something called the "Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form" that they monitor. So you use that. (Link to that is in my sig line)
As for the button issue, you can accomplish it using Advanced Actions. What you need to do is to manipulate the Playhead to keep it paused. One way is by configuring the variable rdcmndGotoFrame with the value rdinfoCurrentFrame. Sometimes this works to just keep the playhead paused. Other times I've tried to do it with some success by repositioning the playhead farther upstream and allowing it to "float" back to the pause point of the object. And to do this you use the variable rdcmndGotoFrameAndResume and assigning it the frame number earlier in time. Of course, to do this you must first calculate the frame number to position at. I normally did this by inserting a Text Caption configured to present the rdinfoCurrentFrame variable and manipulating the pause points using a Click Box object to arrive at the desired value.
Cheers... Rick

How can I make a button (click) animate an object

Basically I want to make a button (nextscreen) which animates a rectangle (movie1) once it's clicked.
So far it doesn't work, anything I try gives me errors
for example I typed
nextscreen.onPress();
function fl_AnimateHorizontally_6(event:Event)
    Movie1.x += 10;
But it gives me the error
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 12
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method onPress through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
Apparently once I select my button and hit f9, I'm supposed to see the symbol of the button at the bottom but I can't so all my script is on a seperate layer called Actions and is all over the place
So I try to use code snippets and when I run my program with this code;
nextscreen.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_AnimateHorizontally_7);
function fl_AnimateHorizontally_7(event:Event)
    Movie1.x += 10;
My object animates but without me clicking the button
so what do I need to add so only when I click the object animates
Regards

If that's the case then you need to have clicking the button initiate a repeating function, which you can achieve using an ENTER_FRAME event listener.
nextscreen.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_AnimateHorizontally_7);
function fl_AnimateHorizontally_7(event:MouseEvent)
     nextscreen.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_AnimateHorizontally_7);
     this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveHalfway);
function fl_AnimateHorizontally_7(event:Event)
     if(Movie1.x <stage.stageWidth/2){
            Movie1.x += 10;
      } else {
            this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveHalfway);

Can i make a button change anchor link when you scroll down the site?

I am trying to make a scroll site.. and i have navigation buttons on the right, a full menu, but also a "1 topic up" button and "1 topic down" button.
Is there any way that i can have those buttons change anchor link when you scroll down the site.
Example:
I am at home, then i press "1 topic down" and gets scrolled to the next topic on the website, but then i cant make the button change to link to the anchor below that, so the button becomes useless after that 1 press.
Is that in any way possible in Muse to make it change link?

Hi
You can try to create different buttons on page positions where down scrolling will be active with separate button actions. For example you click on "I topic down" , page scrolls and there is another button placed with "Next Topic down" , on click this would scroll the page more and similarly along the length of page.
Button with anchor link scrolling down the page cannot be used for different anchor links, creating different buttons with anchors is the solution.
Thanks,
Sanjit
