Can ObjectStates become buttons that link to another object state?

Hi. I am working on Adobe CS5 and I am trying to create an Image gallery. I know how to create the basic type which is stacking the images, making them as object states, and then linking the navigation buttons to "Next State".
The type of image gallery i'm trying to make involves thumbnails. In the thumbnails menu, there are back and forward arrows that will move the thumbnails from left to right. The way i did it was grouping the thumbnail images, convert them as object states, and just do the Left/Right animation through the Object State menu. The problem is, I can't make those thumbnails link to the picture it is assigned to. The Object states that appear in the button menu is just the object state of the thumbnails and not the Image viewer it self.
If it is needed that i post a SWF demonstration of this, can someone show me how to?

Here is a sample image
What I'm trying to do is have a scroll like action with the thumbnails and when the user clicks the specific picture/thumbnail, the enlarged image will appear on the top.
the only way i can create the scrolling action is by making the thumbnails into MOS and just change their position in each state. the problem is I can't link the thumbnails specifically to the image it is supposed to display. I hope this explanation helps.

I need to create a button that links to another swf file...

i'm creating my first website, and, for each menu item, i am
creating a new flash document... is this the correct way to create
a multi-page website?
plus: how to create a button that links to a jpg, thanks!

Creating separate swf's these days as far as I know is
considered to be a better practice than using the "scenes" that are
in Flash. The reason is you can load various sections of your
entire Flash entity rather than the user downloading everything at
once.
But, it also depends on the complexity of where your menu
items are leading. If they are simple enough, then there may be no
need to create new documents.
To create a button that links to a jpeg, try this.
Whatever graphic you're using for the button, select it and
hit F8 to convert it to a movie clip. Once it's in your library,
click on your new movie clip on the stage and give it an instance
name in the properties window.
Click the first frame in your timeline (preferably on a layer
named "actions") and put this example in for the actionscript:
//buttonName is the instance name you gave it
//.onPress tells Flash when buttonName is pressed then do
what's
//inside the brackets of the function
buttonName.onPress = function (){
//getURL is the Flash function that will load your
picture.jpg
//_blank is the target. e.g. _blank, _self etc.
getURL("picture.jpg", "_blank");
}

How to display an object that links to another object

I am trying to find out how display 2 objects (box's) in a frame and connect them with a line so if I move one box the line stays connected.
Can anyone point point in the direction of any tutorials or example.
Eventually I plan to change these box's to be a database table containing attributes and the link representing the fk.

Do you have any code started?

How to create text buttons that link to video?

I've finally gotten around to trying DVD SP, and even though I read the whole manual, it's not at all clear if, or how, you can create text buttons that link to the video you want to play, without displaying a clip of that video in the button itself.
I have no problem creating a text button, but I can't change the font, and editing is counter-intuitive, unlike iDVD. I'd use iDVD, but it doesn't accept .m2v files, and it seems to think that my 6 videos of about 43 minutes each are too large for a DVD+DL disc, so it won't let me burn it or save it as a disc image.
Does anyone have a way out of this conundrum, or am I SOL?

It really isn't that hard!
As Drew said, go into your menu and click and drag to create a button rectangle. With the button highlighted, look in the property inspector at the bottom and type in the text that you want to use. Ensure that you 'include in button highlight' and then set the colour choice for selected and activated.
What you get is a simple line of text which illuminates when you roll over it, and changes colour when you click on it.
Once that is done, click on the button area again and set the target to go to the piece of video that you want to have play back.
You should also set the menu call and end jump on that track to make sure your viewer can get back to the menu.
Once that is done the menu will show as a simple piece of text (more buttons means more bits of text, and the first button will be highlighted by default) and no video will play until the button is activated.
DVDSP is definitely a steeper learning curve than iDVD but for very good reasons. You get far greater control and access to far more advanced features in DVDSP. This means that some things will seem harder, whereas in fact they are just different and the process for achieving the result you want is different. Much of what you want to know is in the manual and also in the tutorials which came with the app. Failing that there are several good online spaces where you can find a lot more information... not least of which is right here, of course!

Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?

Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?
I was reading up that it's possible to this with menus, and tracks but can you do it with a button and how?
I am hoping to create a button that people viewing my discs on a computer can click on the link and their web browser will pop up and take them to a website.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

dvd@ccess questions are being asked once a week on this forum, so I'll repeat why it's useless:
- Mac users have to enable the feature in the preferences of DVD Player in order to for the links to work.
- PC users have to install a small application on their PC, and they have to reboot the PC in order for the links to work.
- On top of this, it's still unreliable, and may not work on some computers.
It's a dog: Don't use it.

Can I add a text link to another place in a Pages v5 file?

Simple question:
Can I add a text link to another place in a Pages v5 file?
My client would like to include a visible, inline Table of Contents in his ePub. Apple Pages v5 deletes the visible Table of Contents. Can I manually create a Table of Contents with clickable links to the appropriate chapters?

Pages 5's greatest claim to fame is its general inability to do anything much, aka "simplification".
So the answer is No! and because this is also Apple, You don't want to do that!
Luckily however, should you still have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder, you can use that instead.

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.

Button that links to later frame and also stops music from playing in background

I have some audio playing that I want to stop when a user
clicks on a
button that links to a later frame.
Does this look correct?
SoundMixer.stopAll();
Btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick1);
function buttonClick1(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(30);

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by this. Could you
please show me
the syntax?
Thanks!!!!!!

How can i enlarge a graphic within an existing object state

Hi all.
I am currently building a swf file for my daughters homework.
I need to enlarge the scroll so the viewer can read it properly. The text either side and the scroll are grouped together and are currently part of an object state hence the green button. I thought this would be straight forward but because the scroll is already part of an object state im unable to create another object state for the scroll to enlarge.
I have tried various different work arounds but nothing is working out. It might mean i should have constructing it a different way so im more than happy to rearrange my document to get this thing working.
If you can help i will be more than happy to email you my swf file so you can view it properly.
Thanks all
Andy

Make two instances, large and small, of the scroll
Make the small instance a button
Make the larger instance a button
Add both instances to a Multi-state object (MSO)
Name the states Small and Large appropriately
Click the Small State in the MSO panel
Double click the MSO to access that State
On the Buttons Panel click the Plus Sign Beside the Action
Name = Enlarge
Event = On Click
Object = MSO
State = Large
Then go the Large MSO in the Panel
and do the same but activating the Small image instead
That should do it

Can't get my dropdown menu buttons to link to another scene.

I can’t get my dropdown menu buttons to link to other scenes within the same Flash file. The buttons are unresponsive during playback – as if no code were attached to it. Here’s what I have as my AS2 code on the dropped button that is supposed to link to the "Published" scene/page:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("published", 1);
I'm working with Actionscript 2.0 in Flash CS6.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Robert

Hi kglab,
I do get these compile errors:
Scene=published, layer=Buttons, frame=1, Line 1 Statement must appear within on handler
Scene=published, layer=Buttons, frame=1, Line 2 Statement must appear within on handler
But, I think you are correct about the setInterval Loop. On the home scene I’ve created a movie symbol which is set to call another swf file:
loadMovie("frontSlideshow.swf", _root.movie1);
This frontSlideshow.swf file has the following code in every 10 frames:
this.stop();
pause = function ()
play();
clearInterval(pausei);
pausei = setInterval(pause, 5000);
This will pause the timeframe every 5 seconds before sliding to the next frame so that each image can be viewed. It seems odd that the code from this subclass file would affect the timeframe of the main class/file where the “movie1” symbol is located.
Best,
Rob

Can i create a button that links to the slideshow widget

I am creating a portfolio site for a class. It is a one page site, One of my sections is going to be my "work" section. I want to categorize my work, So I have made buttons that pertain to each category of work. Is there anyway that I can link this to the slideshow widget. When one of the category buttons is clicked I want the slideshow widget to pop up. Is this possible? I can not find a tutorial and I am very new to Muse. Thank you!

Hi,
You can't directly associate a button with a slideshow. However, you can embed slideshow in a tooptip target and add the button to the tooltip trigger as mentioned in this post : Re: How do i create a button which will show new content on same page?

How to create a dropdown menu with sub buttons that link back to the labels on click.

im trying to create a dropdown menu buttons that when you rollover to the top central button the button it opens up like a drop down menu would containg two other subsectional buttons.

Hi!
I would like to create a DVD menu that offers two languages. So the first page gives two options: Language 1 and Language 2. Then depending on which language you choose, you go to a menu that proposes different videos and a photo slideshow.
Regardless on which language button you click on initially, you get the same content but in different languages.
I've been looking at Premiere's templates, which I can certainly customize, but I really don't see how to create the double menu. Does anybody have an idea?
Put the video with the first language on the timeline followed by the video with the second language. Use chapter markers so you can have each video as a chapter in the menu.
I use Premiere Pro, so I can't give more specific directions. Perhaps somebody like ATR will chime in.
Also, I have another question: can I put videos from different projects in the same DVD with Premiere or must all of the videos that go into the DVD be in the same project?
Thank you very much!!!

They must be in the same project.

How can i create a button that stays on the active state when clicked?

Like a follow button that stays on following when i click it, without reloading the whole page?
Thanks!

I don't follow what you are trying to do. Can you provide an example on a site that does what you need to do?

Selecting an object that is behind another object

Is there a keyboard command for selecting objects that are behind other objects in the stacking order? or is the only way to select them from layers menu? i'm always selecting the object that is on top of what I want to select, and wonder if there is a keyboard command to "click down" to the object i'm aiming for
thanks!

Yes, LVOOP uses value based references, and when you split the wire to write the owner you created a data copy. The function you're after requires you do use a DVR for all class functions in which case you'll get reference based OOP, which is more familiar coming from text based OOP.
It just so happens that G# uses that approach, take a look at it.
