Can't add action script to my buttons, need help

I'm trying to add action script to my buttons to link them but the script menu has the message "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it" Why is this happening?
see attached

Okay,
I have a page where I have a button that states "PRODUCTS". I need to get
the button to send the user to another page called "products.swf
(products.fla)". What script to I insert in the actions menu?
Thanks

  • Can I add Action button on each page of my pdf document

    I have created  many power point slides with an action button on each slide that allows the user to click to display a video clip.   I would like to create a pdf document of this and replace each of my action button in ppt with an action button that works in Acrobat.
    I noticed that action buttons can be added to forms, but I want to be able to add an Action Button on each of my ppt slides to start playing a video clip (each slide will have a different video).
    I would like to do this using any coding method (i.e. Javascript, VBA, C , etc).   I think acrobat uses Javascript.
    The reason, is that I want to display my power point slides on an IPad and they don't support hyperlink in power point.   I believe IPad does suppport the full acrobat capabilities.
    Can this be done ??  
    Any suggestions where to start ??
    Thank You,
    G

    NO problem creating the buttons and then playing this back in Acrobat. Works great.
    However, unfortunately, none of the PDF viewers for the iPad support playing movies.   So playing it there won't work :(.

  • Can you add a submit by email button without a "default" to: address?

    Can you add a submit by email button without a "default" to: address? I need the email window to launch without an addressee so the user can manually type in their addressee as needed. (A completed pdf will be attached to the email as well).

    Hi,
    use a regular button with this script in its click event.
    event.target.mailDoc({
              bUI: true,
              cTo: '',
              cCc: '',
              cBcc: '',
              cSubject: 'My form',

  • My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow and when ever I get on a app it will shut it down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do

    My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow.When ever my iPod is being slow and I get on an app the app will shut down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do! Could you tell me how I can power down my iPod or how I can fix the slowness and the shutting down of the apps.

    - Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Next, reset the iPod
    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
      Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    Then you can try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Can I add a PLAY or Continue button in my Configurator Panel with a script?

    Some of my actions have a stop in them so that I can make some adjustments. How can I continue the action to complete it? Right now I need to go back to the regular action set and press the play button or have a shortcut key assigned to play. Can I add a PLAY button in Configurator?

    ocphotog wrote:
    Thanks but the action does most of that already. The action makes one last stop so that I can make a few last adjustments. I need a play button for the Configuator panel so that I do not have to go back to the action panel to press play.
    If the Stop is the last step in the action that action is actually done. I do not do panels but I would venture two guesses.
    1.) Put the stop message in the pannel instead and remove the stop that is in the action.
    2.) Leave the stop in the action so the user knows the process is done and they should make any final adjustment on ther own manually. Make the stop a stop with continue and add to the stop message click continue now.

    You'll be relieved to discover that it still is simple; it's
    just that
    you have options now. :) Finding the approach that works for
    you will
    depend on the version of ActionScript you're using, and your
    comfort level
    with more recent ActionScript workflows.
    The shortest, quickest answer for you is probably to
    configure your FLA
    for ActionScript 2.0 or 1.0, both of which support direct
    attachment of
    code. Use File > Publish Settings > Flash to change
    your AS version. (In
    Flash CS3 and CS4, you also have an option between AS3 and
    AS2 when you
    create a new FLA.) The "trick" here is simply that
    ActionScript 3.0 does
    not support direct attachment of code.
    If you want to try the new way, you'll have to put your code
    in a
    keyframe, rather than on the button itself. This approach
    requires that you
    give your button(s) an instance name, so that Flash knows
    which object(s)
    you mean. Here's a quick example, from a slightly dated (but
    still useful)
    blog entry:

  • Help! Can't add action to anything in flash CS4?

    As the title says, i can't seem to add any action to any object,clip or button. Can anyone help me with this?

    Sorry I took such a long time to reply. I dont think the problem is with the file because i tried opening a old file which was working fine and then couldnt add actions to anything. I also tried making a new flash project which similarly does not work.

  • Can FC put action script in a 'code behind'.

    Once of the practices I do in FB3 is to move all my action script into 'code behind' files instead of having all the code in the mxml files.  Does FC have the option to do that (as part of the gen process) and if not, does anyone else who 'codes' instead of 'designs' feel that is a benefit?  I know I'd prefer it to be in a 'separate' as3 file.  Also, if I DO move the code into code behinds (I've not tried it yet), does FC have any issues reading the code behind?  I'll be trying that on a 'simple' project to be sure but figured I'd ask just in case anyone else wants to know...

    The two references cited helped answer questions about Adobe's overall philosophy and approach that came up as I worked a simple example down the design/development stack of tools from Illustrator (AI) to Catalyst (FC) to Flash Builder 4 (FB).
    Other questions that arose were:
    Each application (AI, FC, FB) contains tools for design with some degree of overlap.
    Will FC eventually include from AI (or Photoshop, InDesign, etc.) and the FB design view all functionality needed for interactive storyboarding and skin generation?
    Is it the intent for FC to become the designer's tool and FB the developer's tool, at least for application design?
    The diagram in the Gumbo skinning spec shows that base components and their subclasses are typically implemented in AS and skins in MXML and recommends this as the preferred design pattern. Yet when I converted one of my groups (essentially a form) to a customized component, and exported the project into FB, I noticed that FC had generated a single mxml file (CustomComponent1 ...) and not a pair of files (an X.as file for the base component and an X.mxml file for the skins).
    For several reasons, wouldn't you want to generate separate files as depicted in the Gumbo diagram as a starting point for code customization?
    How does one develop custom components in FB (or using AI+FC+FB) and package them as a library so that they can be dropped into FC and used in the way that the current set of 5 components (button, hscrollbar, vscrollbar, text input and data list) are used?
    How will I integrate my hand-coded dynamic components for data visualization alongside more generic and static app components on an RIA page?
    How would I use AI+FC to design liquid layouts where children at each level often utilize constraints (i.e. top, bottom, left, right) between parent and child?
    For agile methodologies, how will refactoring the interaction or software design work in this new world where interaction designers are trying to maintain full control over appearance and interactive behavior?
    Finally, I would like to know what tools and steps Ely used to develop the component shown in the video. It would be instructive to turn that into a tutorial that we could walk through, step by step, in slow motion
    While I understand the arguments for separation of design and development as a workflow methodology, those of us with development and HCI/visualization backgrounds building research prototypes would like to see integration of the design and development tools (from the perspective of the workflow, not the architecture and code).
    As Jordan said, the direction you are heading is inspiring. Keep up the good work.

  • Can you run Action Scripts with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8?

    I have Photoshop Elements 5 and i cant find the 'Action' tab. Im considering buying Elements 8 but ONLY if i know for sure if i can use action scripts with it.
    Message was edited by: Jochem van Dieten

    Elements does not include Photoshop's Actions Palette function.  You can get an add on for elements that will is able to Play some Photoshop Actions in Elements. Not all Photoshop Actions actions can be played for some action use Photoshop features that are not in Elements like Photoshop Scripting. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/8.0/Win/Using/WS961FF412-5006-4364-B315-1576 62B1F7E9.html

  • How can I add action listener to a cell or row in a table?

    hi there
    I need to be able to click on one cell or one row in a table, and perform some action, like openning a dialog or something. how can i add listener?

    // See How to Use Tables in tutorial. You will get one idea about Table Renderer and Editors.
    // If u understand the concept, ur problem is very easy to solve by adding Editor to your column.
    "You can think of the renderer as a configurable ink stamp that the table uses to stamp appropriately formatted data onto each cell. When the user starts to edit a cell's data, a cell editor takes over the cell, controlling the cell's editing behavior.
    Here, While tabing thru the table row, default all cell editors are JLabels. (Not editables)
    So u can make it those cells are editable JTextFields or JComboBoxes based on the column while tabbing. And you can add Listeners to that fields too. So those editable fields are called Editor Components.
    // see javax.swing.DefaultCellEditor class for more description
    Here i am adding my own JTextField editor to 3rd column of a table by using
    mytable.getColumnModel().getColumn(2).setCellEditor(editor );
    Here editor is a obj of below class. (Not complete..class)
    public class JbuiEditor extends DefaultCellEditor implements // any listener {
    public JbuiEditor(JTextField tField) {
    super(tField);
    setClickCountToStart(1);
    tField.addFocusListener(this);
    this.editorComponent = tField;
    public Component getComponent(){
         return editorComponent;
    public Component getTreeCellEditorComponent(JTree tree, Object value,
                                  boolean isSelected,
                                  boolean expanded,
                                  boolean leaf, int row) {
         String StringValue = tree.convertValueToText(value, isSelected,
                             expanded, leaf, row, false);
         delegate.setValue(stringValue);
         return editorComponent;
    public Object getCellEditorValue() {
    return super.getCellEditorValue();
    public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,int row, int column) {
    super.getTableCellEditorComponent(table,value,isSelected,row,column);
    ((JTextField)editorComponent).setText(value.toString());
    //Here u can add any type of listener to this Editor component.like..
    ((JTextField)editorComponent).addActionListener(..);
    ((JTextField)editorComponent).addFocusListener(..);
    return editorComponent;
    Hope gives some idea.

  • Can't add java script to Adobe 7.0 PDF document

    Hi, ran into a small problem using Adobe Pro 7.0. Created a interactive form in Adobe Designer 7.0. Want to add Java script to run when a user selects certain fields on the forms. However, when I try and use the advanced editing tools to gain access to the Java script properties for that object, the toolbar is greyed out. No document security has been configured. Can this be done? Should it be done in Adobe Prof or in Designer? Can't figure out how to add the java script to the forms.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks Michael

    Once a form is started in LiveCycle Designer, it has to be edited in LiveCycle Designer. There are very few Acrboat features that can be used.

  • Can I add images to my radio buttons in sharepoint ? If so, how do I add images to my radio buttons in sharepoint?

    Hello,
    I would like to add Images to my radio buttons in sharepoint input form. Has anyone tried this and succeeded? If so what did you do?
    I have a "how are you feeling section?" and rather than use words like Happy or Sad; I'd prefer to have a smilie face or a sad face.
    I tried leveraging off the text in the column entry screen (inserting <img) tags and inserting common string combinations that retruned smilie images from Lync/ Im or Skype...
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks !
    Philip

    Hi,
    If it's InfoPath form that you are talking about, then its quite simple. Follow the below mentioned steps,
    1. Add option Button control field(two buttons for happy and sad)
    2. You are supposed to type in the option for the button(like Happy and Sad in words) following each radio button.
    3. Instead of typing there, add a picture control and make it read only. Put the smiley as the default picture of the picture control through picture control properties.(you can browse for the pic from your PC).
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,
    Tamilarasan R.
