Can I put buttons on top of a slideshow?

My client has asked the latest cover of their magazine to have a slow crossfade of about 5 images as the background, with elements such as logos & links to articles over the top.
I thought this would be easy since the Slideshow » Crossfade feature is simple to control, but I run into trouble as soon as I put anything on top of it—the slideshow appears on top of everything else in the preview, even if it's an interactive element.
Am I missing a step somewhere? I feel like this should be a relatively simple thing to do—but it's been about 6 months since my last DPS project so I'm a little rusty, and a lot has been updated in the meantime.
My other option would be to do the crossfade in Photoshop and import as an image sequence, but I suspect I'd run into the same problem (correct me if I'm wrong!).
Or I could do the animation in Edge Animate and import as an HTML object. Would either of those options give me better results? They seem a little more complex for essentially the same end product.

Yep, they're buttons.
So far I've only added one button, for initial testing. It's the client's logo as a placed Illustrator file. In Buttons and Forms, it's type is a Button, I've named it and On Release or Tap it has a Go To URL action. It has no rollover or click states and it is not Hidden Until Triggered. I feel like I'm missing a step somewhere there...
Putting the buttons into each state of the MSO works fine, but is less than ideal since they'll change many times before the final version. Updating 5 versions of the same thing each time will get a bit tedious! That's the only way I can get it to work for now though, so I'll keep going like that.
Adding a text frame with scrollable content works fine - it appears on top of the slideshow.
Adding another slideshow on top works as well... but my buttons don't!
EDIT: And yes, I mean in Adobe Content Viewer. It displays the same on the desktop version and on my iPad.

How can I put 2 songs together in a slideshow

I have 250 pictures in my slideshow. How can I put 2 different songs in my slideshow and fit the whole audio file to the 2 or 3 songs?

Create a playlist in iTunes with the songs you want. When choosing music for your slideshow in iPhoto, select the playlist, and not the individual songs.

This part of tabbed pane is not customizable as it lies in the ComponentUI(TabbedpaneUI) portion of the tabbedpane.
But I can point out the place u can change to bring the desired feature into effect.
U can find an Inner class called ScrollableTabSupport
Look for the methods createButtons where u can create extra buttons and add to the tabbed pane.
The Inner class also implements actionListener where u can implement the action for the button u added.
By this method U have to use your own extended TabbedPaneUI which u cant escape from.
Hope this will help u.

Can I put only the top image of a stack in a Mobile Album?

I have an album that contains stacks and I would like to put only the top images of these stacks in a Mobile Album. Is this possible?
I have tried to make a new album and only put the top images in this new album without sucess. Is it possible to have a stack of images in one album and only the top image in another ablum?
I hope someone knows about this
Hans Brodin

Hi Surendra,
My target is to find a convenient way to transfer my best photos only to my iPad
By using stacks for similar photo and putting my best shot on top I reduce the number of images displayed in the organizer. A typical stack contains of 8 shots.
Then I put my best stacks in an album. By using the Slide Show in PE I have a convenient way to display only my best shot and tha's OK for my computer were I have a lot of disc space.
But on my iPad the size of memory is limited and it also takes some time to transfer a huge number of images so now I want to find a convenient way of tranfering only the top image of each stack. If I could have a separate album containing only the top images from each stack the task would have been easy.
Now this is not possible so now I hope there is another solution than acually making a separate copy (a new file) of each top image and put these copies in a separate album. This will of course work but it will end up in having two identical images showing up in the organizer and so I do not really like this idea.
I hope I have managed to describe my intention and do you have an idea for a workaround or do I need to make separate copies?
Thanks a lot
Hans

How can I put text on top of a graphic in Framemaker 11?

I am using Framemaker 11. When I import an image from Photoshop (EPS file) and put a text box on top, I can't get the text to be on top of the graphic without jumping to the next page. Is there a setting that I'm missing in Framemaker? The image is just borders, like a frame, and I'm trying to put the text inside the blank space.

I suggest you use the text frame tool (to the left of Arnis' supplied screenshot) and set the background of the text frame (the diagonal b/w lines below the text frame tool) to None.
When all else fails, add the text to the graphic, save as PDF or other appropriate format, and place as needed.

Can't put anything on top of paged-sized GIF image?

I created a GIF file and successfully inserted it on a blank document. Now it seems I cannot put my cursor on top of it, meaning I cannot insert table, smaller jpg image, text, etc. Advice would be much appreciated.

Remove your image from the page. Go to Modify->Page Properties. Then for Appearance (CSS) there is an option for a background image for your page. Browse to your image and then it will be a background that you can place your content over.

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?
In my current Firefox, the "new tab" icon/item from the "customize" pop-up window menu of items is placed next to my home, back, forward buttons near the top-left of my header (Button 1 for "new tab"). Then, the tab bar automatically come with a small tab (with a + sign) to the right of your last tab opened (so you click on + and a new tab opens. Button 2 for "new tab"). I like to have this "new tab" button twice (as a + mini tab, and next to my "home icon".
When I upgraded to Firefox 4, I seemed to be only able to "customize" or use the "new tab" in one place. Either as an icon next to home button, or as a "+ minitab", but NOT both.
What can I do to put this button in Firefox 4 on BOTH places???
Your help is really appreciated. I want to upgrade, but I want my buttons on both places...
I upgraded to FF 4, but downgraded again just because this feature... that's just me of coarse :-)

How can I put two triggers on top of eachother, and have them both work when clicked?

I'm creating this slideshow, with before and afters of my work. At the bottom right corner, I want a small frame with the before image. The fullscreen slideshow though, has arrow buttons working as triggers to either go back in the slideshow or move onto the next image. I want the other smaller slideshow at the bottom right corner to sync up with the corresponding "Before" images in the fullscreen slideshow. So, my idea was get both of the forward/back arrow buttons from the widgets and put them on top of eachother, assuming it would advance or go back on both of the widgets. It's not working though, only the top-most trigger works.
Simplified version without the mumbo-jumbo!:
I want to put two triggers on top of eachother, but when I do this, only the top-most trigger functions. Any way to get this to work? or creative ways to get around this?
Thanks in advance!

You can't have it click on two things at once. You would have to write some javascript to have one button do both actions. This would not be very easy in Muse so I would say this is not somethingthat is supported in Muse.

The bookmarks toolbar is there but has no item buttons on it. How do I get the items back for this toolbar? Also would like to know if the toolbars can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ??

Floyd Perry
Thanks

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
You can only move the content from a toolbar onto other toolbars if all toolbars support that feature. You need to check that in the options of each toolbar.

Can you put the tabs on top setting in 'Options - Tabs' so it's easy to get at?

To save all this messing about with tabs everytime a new version of FF updates, I suggest the tabs on top setting is placed in 'Options - Tabs' so it's easy to get at. Lots of people seem to have this problem, for them and me, we prefer to have Tabs on Bottom like they used to be.
Now we have to load an addin to correct this short-sightedness. I think this is a bad idea also. Why can't the browser just work straight out of the box? It did before!
And while we are at it, the new updates should leave our customisations as they were, so we don't have to reset them all every time there's an update. In fact, during an update we are asked if we want to import settings etc from IE or don't import anything, but no option to import from the outgoing FF!!!!
Many moons ago Firefox was a breeze now it's become a nightmare!

Support to disable "Tabs on Top" has been removed from Firefox 29 and later and toggling the browser.tabs.onTop pref to false on the about:config page is no longer possible.
You can look at the Tabs On Bottom or the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore this functionality.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tabs-on-bottom/
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
You can move the tabs to the lower position just above the browsing area without using an extension with code in userChrome.css as basically you only need to give the Tab bar a higher -moz-box-ordinal-group value (most toolbars have a default -moz-box-ordinal-group:1 to show them in DOM order).
Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#TabsToolbar { -moz-box-ordinal-group:10000 !important; }
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
* Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
* Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
* Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
* Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

How can i put FPM Buttons in custom FPM Views.

Hi,
How can i put FPM Buttons in custom FPM Views.
Couldn't locate them in web dynpro layout or FPM Views and application in Portal Content.
Thanks,

Hi,
you should describe a little bit more what you want to do (e.g. navigation buttons or buttons in containers like e.g. in ESS Address). FPM usually has a quite high reusability so button components are often reused. In case there is already a button component that has everything you need you can just use the self-service administrator to add this view to the right perspective in your FPM application. In case you talk about those buttons that are in the Overview screens than those buttons are dynamically generated.
In case you just want to have your own button then create this button and fire an FPM event from it. You need to add this event to the FPM view configuration in the self-service administrator. Alternatively you can create a button component and reuse it later.

Can I put abort execution button and Run button in GUI ?

Dear All ,
Can I put "abort execution button" and "Run button" in GUI with bigger buttons ?
Thanks.....

Hi wMw.
Aborting normally works fine for very small applications or architectures but not for anything after that. Aborting a VI can leave things in states that you don't want to be in or references open. Sometimes you do need to Abort the code though (other programming environments use Abort buttons) so I don't think we can get rid of it entirely.But try to avoid it maximum.
EDIT:why you are trying to do such a strange thing??
Thanks as kudos only
