Simple buttons working in Preview, but not on iPad

Hello everyone. I have a Button (I'm working in InDesign CS6), with instructions "Go to State". It links to a photo on a seperate layer. The link works perfectly in the SWF preview (shift-command-return). But when I update the file to view it in Adobe Viewer it does not work. (I am using Viewer Vers 25) There are no other functions on the page that could be "blocking" it. In fact, on some pages where there are two or three buttons (all of them with instructions of "Go to State"), 2 may work and one not. I am confused as to how I can see it working in the Preview, but not on the iPad. Any suggestions appreciated. Many thanks!!

Bob, just got in and downloaded the patch - the buttons are working perfectly now!!
Thank you for taking the time to help me out!! I'll be more diligent from now on in checking for updates. Thanks again. James

Interactive PDF–buttons working in preview but not in PDF

I have a series of buttons that reveal hidden graphics. One of those hidden graphics is a background layer, in a separate layer, that should appear when a button is clicked. It is showing up, but in front of all other content, even though the layer is in the background. I have nothing else on the background layer. Also, the preview in InDesign shows this working properly, it's the exported Interactive PDF that is having problems. Any suggstions?

Show/hide buttons can let you show and hide graphics which have been themselves turned into buttons. But in InDesign, they cannot control the visibility of layers. I think that's because of the way buttons are handled in the PDF file. I think the buttons themselves are seen as a separate layer above the "content" of the PDF.
You can change layer visiblity with buttons but not in InDesign. You have to do it in Acrobat.
Create your layers in InDesign. Export as a PDF but in the Export Adobe PDF dialog box, you must select Acrobat 6 compatibility and check Create Acrobat Layers. This takes InDesign layers and makes them PDF layers which you can work with in Acrobat.
You can either create the buttons in InDesign or in Acrobat, but controlling layer visibility isn't an available action in InDesign. So you'll need to change their action WITHIN ACROBAT.
In Acrobat, you can choose View > Navigation Panels > Layers. You can turn the eyes on and off to control visibility like in InDesign. Then set the layer visibility the way you want the first button to set and set the action for the first button to be Set Layer Visibility. When you click Add. It sets the visibility to the current state. Repeat the process for the second button.
In InDesign CS5, to export buttons you'll need to choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive). Check Acrobat Layers.

XML (RSS) Spry Dataset File Works in Preview But Not Over Internet

hello
I am trying to build a custom feed reader using the Spry framework in Dreamweaver CS4 and everything seems to go smoothly until I actually host the file (with the accompanying js and css files) and try to view it over the internet
previewing from DW shows everything working the way it should
I feel like I am missing something obvious ... but not sure what
thanks for any help!

Hi, i have a similar problem..
These URL returns a XML:
1) http://www.bolsadesantiago.com/intradayServlet?symbol=IPSA
2) http://www.valorfuturo.com/contenidos_vf/proyectos/clientes/penta/titularnoticias.asp
I use a CS4 and both works in preview, but only first works over internet (IE7).
I suspect that 2° has a problem of syntax XML, but work with jQuery.

Works in preview but not when published in captivate 8?

My youtube widget used in captivate 8 works just fine in the preview, but when published there's nothing where the video should be, any idea as to why?

Hi Robert,
as far as I understand your post, you are missing some kind of "button-artwork" in the published file, but do not report a problem with the "action" that the script should perform.
My guess would be that it will be hard to help you without having a better understanding what your trying to achive and how (are you using a prebuilt component, or did you build the button fron scratch etc....)
It might be even necessary to have a look at the fla itself.

PayPal button action works in preview but not when published

Hi!
Any thoughts as to why this works correctly in CS5 publish preview but when I publish it I either get no action or (XP comupter) or a blank page (vista). Any thoughts or insight would be appreciated. Also, I'm new to flash and here's the button action:
on (release) {
        //create the LoadVars that will hold our paypal information
        var paypal = new LoadVars();
        //specify the business, amount of the item, shipping, etc.
        paypal.cmd="_xclick";
        paypal.upload="1";
      paypal.business="[email protected]";
        paypal.currency_code="USD";
        paypal.amount="275.00";
        //paypal.handling = "0";
        //paypal.no_shipping = "0";
        paypal.item_name="One Session";
        //added
        //paypal.lc="GB";
        paypal.bn="PP-BuyNowBF";
        //paypal.no_note="1";
        //send our information to PayPal, including all the optional variables we have collected from customer
         paypal.send("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr","_blank","POST");
Thanks!

Menu button works on pc but not on tablet and mobile

Hi! I've made a desktop site and I've published it. Everything works on a pc browser but into tablet and mobile, there is a button on a menu that doesn't work..the link to the rest of the site doesn't start. Maybe because that link goes to a part of the site that is too heavy (the structure under that button goes to 30 different pages)?

This is the url:
http://www.babylove2000.com/
If you try to visit the site by tablet or mobile, you cannot enter in the section 'MARCHI' trough the correspective button. The other buttons work correctly.
Thanks,

Email Submit button works in Acrobat but not Reader

I have a form with an email submit button. When those who have Adobe Reader click on the Submit button, nothing happens. For the users with Acrobat, the submit button works as designed. The users all have the latest version of Reader, Java and Flash. When the Acrobat users click the button a box appears asking them to select Desktop or Internet email. Once they make a selection, the form is sent. When the Reader users click the button nothing happens. I'm sure there must be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust. Can you help me?

Hi Susan,
I appreciate we have meandered through this, but bear with us...
Here is a screen shot of a regular button set up to return the completed form as a PDF.
Now if you deploy this form WITHOUT Reader Enabling the form, then users with Reader will see this warning:
However before you deploy the form open it in Acrobat and go to the Advanced menu (in version 9) and select "Extend features in Acrobat Reader" and save the form with an amended name. Then send this new "Reader extended" form out to the users with Reader and they will be able to return the completed PDF.
Without seeing the actual form it is difficult to work out how the submit button is set up.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Swap images works in preview but not in browser

Hi everyone,
I am attempting to get a swap images to work. It works in the preview window but not when I preview it in the browser. When I open it in a browser the states seem to "cycle" through really quickly in rapid succession. I have linked my png file for you to see. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Your swap image slice is set to Animated GIF. Change it in the Optimize panel to plain GIF or PNG 8

Flash image viewer works in preview but not online

Hi
I followed an online demo on how to get an image slideshow on my webpage using flash. It was using insert media image viewer. It all worked fine, looked great in the preview but when I put everything online I can't see it. Just an empty space were it should be. This is the site where it is
http://www.idoityourself.com.au/ if tried moving the image to different areas in case it didn't like being in a folder within a folder etc but still didnt work. Any ideas??
thanks

You have not uploaded the Scripts folder to your server which DW generated automatically for you when you inserted the Flash.

Flash buttons work in FireFox but not IE

Please can someone please take a look and see if they can
figure it out cos i can't!
roundshaw (dot) co (dot) uk
The increase and decrease flash buttons at the top of the
page works ok in FireFox but not in Internet Explorer.
Can anyone see what i have missed that stops it working in
IE?
thanks in advance for your help.

Hello again,
Yep, sounds like you've got the general idea.

I'm going to start from scratch and give it another go...would you reccomend converting every button to a symbol? Then give the symbols a mouseover, click, and mouseout?
I'd take all the elements that make up the button, and convert that into a symbol. Then you can go to labels with your code without worrying about the main timeline. Put all your code on the elements themselves, and not on the symbol instance.
hries22 wrote:
Also - and this minor - but is there a way to get a button's mouseover area to recognize transparency? For instance - I'll use a .png with transparency for a button...let's say the T-shirt. I want the mouseover to activate only when the mouse is over the t-shirt, and not over the transparent area around the t-shirt...any thoughts?
By default, the hit area of a div in HTML is its bounding box. Right off the top of my head, I'm not sure there's a way to change it...maybe someone else can chip in?

Nokia x3 help! menu button works for lock but not ...

i have a new nokia x3, around 2 months old, after restarting the phone one time, the main button (the menu button) works for locking/unlocking and even makes the keytone sound when you press it, but i cant open up the menu, its really annoying because without the menu i cannot access the phone!
i can still make calls/text messages, but i really want to fix this.
thanks in advance

just to clarify, the menu button works such as when i slide the phone closed, the 'lock' option appears, and the button works then, but when i unlock, i goes back to the usual 'menu' option which just doesnt work.
i can use text/calls from the shortcut buttons such as left/down/right and some buttons work on in certain places, such as when the 'send' option appears for sending a text.
i have tried to soft reset using the code, before, and i have tried restarting it.
none of them worked, does anyone have a solution, also does anyone know the hard reset code?
thanks in advance.

Dreamweaver rollover working in preview but not online

I use image swap for rollovers often. After making some changes to my friends website I noticed all the rollovers stopped working. I tried it in all browsers, I tried restoring a file from time machine, I tried it with a bunch of different images.
So I tried a very simple blank page with one image on it and "swap image" behavior applied to it. It also displays fine in the preview and not online (Dreamweaver CS5.5)

Please help, I think I'm going crazy.

Your file is corrupted. All line breaks have been stripped clean out of your code. Scripts cannot work this way.
Try using a different FTP client like Filezilla to upload your pages.
Also check the Line Break type in your Preferences. See screenshot.
Hit OK.
Go to Commands > Apply source formatting.
Nancy O.
Possibility #2 (and I've done this countless times) is that somewhere along the way in editing, someone inadvertently removed line breaks using the "Find and Replace" feature while cleaning up other code and applied it to more than necessary places.. If that's the case, replace the scripts with redownloaded (or in this case reinstalled) originals. I've broken some really cool scripts this way and I spend a few hours kicking myself in the backside for it, but I always keep a backup of my scripts for when I forget and do it again.
Nancy's right, though Filezilla is a good solution, but if the pages are corrupted, it will load them as they are, and the problem will persist.
