Create a button to link to a pdf

I created a button to link to a pdf but i cant get it to pull up when i click the button. Ive tried editing the index.asp file where the button resides but im having no luck. Can anyone help me?

I infer that you are speaking of a form element button. You need not use a form to do this, just a hyperlink applied to the image of a button.
I am unfamiliar with asp, but in straight html, all you need is an a tag wrapped around the 'button':
<a href="[path to pdf]">button image</a>

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.

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!

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!
jane

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");
}

I need instructions on how to create a button that will email a pdf form to someone else on a websit

I NEED ASSISTANCE CREATING A BUTTON THAT WILL EMAIL A PDF FORM FROM A WEBSITE TO WHOEVER THE VIEWER WANTS TO

Just a bit more info. E-mail can be used, but has potential problems -- often related to the client machine that you have no control over. Use the data submissions (either FDF or XML) rather than the full PDF so you do not have to deal with Reader Rights and the related license issues. The FDF and XML data files are easily imported into the original form so that you see what the client sees. With those aspects in mind, just go ahead and try one. Be aware that you can add form fields using the form tools in the Advanced Editing tools, OR use the forms menu that will take you to Designer. You might want to try both to see the pros and cons. Be sure to keep such a test simple so you are not wasting time on your final form just for testing. I typically create a 1 page form that has all of the possible fields for such a test.

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?

Problem creating several image maps (linking to different pdf files) RoboHelp 8

Hi,
I have a problem creating several image map hotspots (that link to different .pdf files), from the same image using RoboHelp 8 HTML (WebHelp project).
After compiling, the first image map hotspot created, opens the .pdf file correctly. Unfortunately, when clicking on the other image hotspots, I get an error " Cannot find file...<file path>... Make sure path or Internet address is correct".
All the pdf documents are located in the same folder within the project.
Can anyone help?

Have you added the target files as baggage?

Create Download Button or Link

Hi,
Can any one please help me on the following requirement.
I am developing a custom page, in that i have to include the download button or download link. Can anyone please suggest how to do this and i even tried to do as given in devguide, but the download link is not visible.
Following is my requirement:
I have one invoice template and i have to download that template from my oaf page. so i need help in how to achieve the requirement and where to keep the template and how to download it from the oaf page.

Hi
Did you follow all these steps given in devguide
Perform the following steps to implement the File Upload feature declaratively in an OA Extension page.
Step 1: Create a region in your page layout region, with the Form property set to true for the page layout.
Step 2: In the new region, create an item of item style messageFileUpload.
Step 3: In the OA Extension Property Inspector, set the following properties for the messageFileUpload item:
View Instance - A view object instance of the underlying data source.
View Attribute - A view attribute in the specified view object instance, that maps to the column for
storing the file content.
Data Type - The Oracle data type of the view attribute. The BLOB data type is supported for File
Upload. For example, if you set the data type to BLOB, the view attribute must map to a column whose
data type is also BLOB.
321
Note: The data type must be set to the same data type as the column that the view attribute maps to,
otherwise an error occurs when the user attempts to commit the file upload.
Note: If you set Data Type to BLOB and you store your file content in FND_LOBS, be sure to populate
the column FILE_CONTENT_TYPE (File MIME Type). Since FILE_CONTENT_TYPE is a non-null
column, you will encounter an error is this column is not populated. Refer to the
oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.message.OAMessageFileUploadBean Javadoc for additional
information.
Prompt - The text label for the File Upload feature.
Thanks

Create a button to link to dreamweaver page.

I'm making a website in dreamweaver with flash in it, but to be honest I'm really new at web creations. I was wondering if anyone can help me with an issue I came across. I want to link an image that I have in flash to another page (.html) that I have in dreamweaver. When I first used flash and dreamweaver I had done it, but honestly now I completely forgot and can't figure it out. I know I didn't use any action scripts. I just put the page name (???.html) somewhere and it worked. I know you guys are a lot more knowledgeable than I am, so if someone can help I'd be really greatful.

with as3, use:
img1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
function f(e:Event){
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("yourotherpage.html"));
please mark this thread as answered, if you are able.

URGENT! Help with creating more than one linked button

Hi!
Could someone help a newbie with trying to figure out this.
I work in Flash CS3, AS3.
I've created a button that links to another webpage by using this code (the code is added to a separate layer):
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
steud.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.xx.html");
navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
It works just fine, but the problem is that I want to add more buttons (and links) to it, and thats where I get stuck. When I try just adding a new layer and adding the code there, everything stops working. I've also tried copy/pasting the code beneath the first one, with no results.
Does anyone know?
/J

I will try
I've modified this tutorial http://www.tutcity.com/view/create-a-sliding-content-with-back-and-forward-navigation.2394 7.html and the intent is to make a sliding menue that contains images of plants that link to the url of the plant. I've got buttons (with a mouse over effect that shows the name of the plant), and in AS2 I could use GetURL to link an invisible button to the URL, but to create the sliding effect, I had to use AS3. I've understood that GetURL doesn't work in AS3.
In scene 1 I have three layers; content, arrows and actions.
The actionscript looks like this:
// File downloaded from www.riacodes.com
import com.greensock.*;
var arrayX :Array = [0,-800,-1600,-2400,-3200,-4000,-4800];
var currentIndex : Number = 0;
left_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate);
right_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate);
left_mc.buttonMode = true;
right_mc.buttonMode = true;
checkArrows();
function navigate(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(e.currentTarget == left_mc) currentIndex --;
else currentIndex ++;
checkArrows();
TweenLite.to(content_mc,.5 ,{x:arrayX[currentIndex]});
function checkArrows():void{
if(currentIndex == 0) left_mc.visible = false;
else if (currentIndex == arrayX.length - 1) right_mc.visible = false;
else{
left_mc.visible = true;
right_mc.visible= true;
On the content layer I have the backgroundimages that slides as a movieclip.
If I doubleclick on the movieclip I have two layers, one with the bakground images and the invisible buttons, and one layer where I've put the script:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
JC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.blomsterbolaget.se/vaxtsidor/Dracaena_fragrans_JC.html");
navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
JC is the instance name of one of my buttons. So far everything works, but I want to add linking to another button, and I'm not sure how to do this correctly. When I've created the invisible buttons, I've drawn a square, converted it to a button, named it, and named the instance name. Changed the Alpha to 0. I've also added an On mouse over effect, but I don't think that has anything to do with this.
Hope you can help med!
