Creating a "back button" so to speak

Hi, I have made a flash app and am wanting to have a back
button on it so that it goes to the previous frame that was
selected. For example if i was one frame (lets call it "frame 7")
and I then pressed a button that took the application to "frame
13". Then on "frame 13" there was a back button so, when its
pressed it goes back to "frame 7".
Now that doesn't make much sense reading back, but basically
i want a button that takes me back to the frame it was on prior to
the current frame.
If anyone knows the script for that, if it is at all possible
i shall be a happy chappy.
cheers

Thanks for the helpt. Right I have another problem. I have an
image (a map) that is rather large, and i have an image in the form
of a PDA that i am using for a prototype which is smaller. Im
wanting to put the map in the "display screen" of the PDA image,
and then use the buttons on the navigation buttons of the PDA. So
there will be up, down, left and right buttons. However my
knoweldge of flash is not that great.
I've uploaded the template that im using, and the map as well
do a file if anyone wants to download it and then look at it. Im
wanting the map to go in to the empty white screen of the pda
Download
Here (Theres about a 25 second wait to download it im
afraid)

How to Create a Back button in Flash

Hi all,
I need to create a back button for my flash app. It doesn't
need to be connected with Browser. It just need be able to remember
what frame they were viewing, and bring them back.
Is there any event I can use for this? I made an variable
called "visited:Number" and change it on every frame, but this
won't work. Once the user enters a new frame, the original visited
number is replaced by current already. I don't know how to hold
that number, before they leave the current frame.
Can anybody give me little clue/direction please?
Thank you...

Hi
I believe that you should look at the Forms functionality for UCM . Under Content Management - Web Form Editor will show up the editor where in you can add buttons and attach functionalities to it . With UCM 11g this is not available thus you might need to use AJAX to build the requirement .
Thanks

Create a back button in quiz

Hi -
I'm pretty new to Adobe Captivate but I need to create a quiz pretty quickly which I want to import to Flash.
When clicking on a button in Flash I want the quiz to open up which works fine but as soon as I close the quiz
I would like to go back to my main page. Can I create a button in Captivate which goes back to my main page?
Thanks alot for your help.
Franni

Hi Franni
Sorry, but it isn't exactly clear what you hope to accomplish. You mention creating a Back button, but then mention importing the content to Flash. One might assume that you want the Back button to jump to some location inside Flash.
Perhaps your question makes sense to someone experienced with Flash, but I'm going to guess it may not. Hopefully one of our "Flash savvy" folks will see this and offer comments.
Cheers... Rick

Create a back button - need help

Hello JHS Team,
I am using JHeadStart 10.1.2.
I need to create a back button in a specific UIX page on my application.
I'm new to JHeadstart and I really need some help from you. Can anyone help me???
Thanks

Atena,
You can add the button to your page post-generation, using the UIX Visual editor. Make sure you uncheck the Generate Pages switch for this group in your application structure file to protect your change upon regeneration.
May be an unsollicited advice:
I understand that you are new to ADF, JDeveloper and UIX. UIX is superseded by ADF Faces in JDeveloper 10.1.3, and based on the JSF standard.
UIX will not be further developed, JSF and ADF Faces are the technologies to use going forward. Therefore, I would recommend to consider to switch for your application development to JDeveloper and JHeadstart 10.1.3. For JDeveloper/ADF 10.1.3, there is an excellent developers guide available, that provides a lot of useful information, in particular when you are new to the ADF Framework.
Note that a JHeadstart 10.1.2 UIX generated application can easily be migrated to 10.1.3, you will only need to redo your post-generayion changes. So may be you can try to stick (close) to 100% generation for now, and migrate to 10.1.3 at your earliest convenience.

Can i create a back button in ibooks author?

I know i can go to a videofile on for examlpe pag 20 making a textlink on page 1. but is it possible to create a back link to the page where i came from?

K T, you're not quite right on this and ibooks does have a web-like back capability. if readers call up the top menu (by tapping a blank part of any page) and then click on the ribbon in the top right corner, there's a prominent option called "recently viewed" that takes them back to the page they were just on. This works exactly like a Back button or back JavaScript on a web page. it solves the problem with returning to your spot after u hit a bookmark link to a distant spot in an iBook.
okay, so this functionality a) exists and b) is in the core ibooks menus, so why the eff can't apple give us a way to insert a far more user-friendly back button on the pages? please kick this up. it's b.s.

JDeveloper - How to create a "back button" using JSF

As simple as it sounds, I'm having trouble creating a basic back button on my JSF page. I'm using a af:goButton with the Onclick attribute stating history.back(). I've also tried history.go(-1) to no avail.... is there a trick to this?
Thanks,
Richard

If you are looking for a more advanced case as describe, you will need to reference the last navigation outcome in a managed bean so that you can execute it when the back button is clicked.

How to make a back button using AS3

I'm trying to do my first project using ActionScript in CS4. I need to make a back button that will take the user back to the last "slide" they were on.
I went through the effort of creating a back button that I only realized didn't work after I was finished. I had it set up to just go to the previous slide and totally ignored the fact that there are several branching scenarios.

I'm more or less having to teach myself at this point. Where should I go to learn about using an array?

Create an Undo button

I just want the slide to go back one step and not a whole page. Is it possible to create a back button that only goes back one action at a time? My thinking was this might be performed by an undo action using javascript but cannot find a suitable script.
Can anyone help or is this asking the impossible?

Something like this is possible in Captivate but it requires that you capture the frame number at given points and record this frame number in custom user variables.
There is a system variable called cpInfoCurrentFrame that contains the actual number of the movie frame at a given point at runtime. But since Captivate is event-driven, it means that you can only capture this frame number when some specific event occurs. For example, you can capture the frame number at the beginning of a slide using the On Enter Slide event. You can similarly use the ON Success or On Last Attempt actions of an interactive object (e.g. button, click box, TEB, or widget) to capture frame number. You need to set up Advanced Actions that are triggered by these events to assign the value at that moment of the cpInfoCurrentFrame system variable as the value of a user variable.
Once you have various frame numbers stored in different user variables (you can only store one value in each variable) then you can use these as a way of jumping back along the timeline. Having one level of undo is not that difficult because it only involves one single user variable to jump back one step. However having more than one level might be tricky. Just because you jump backward a number of frames, this will not automatically make everything in your project revert to a previous condition. If you are currently using variables and Advanced Actions to create sophisticated user interactivity, then it could be much more complex to manage your UNDO condition properly.

How can i create forward and back buttons for a dreamweaver slideshow?

Hi
I am an illustrator attempting to create a website in dreamweaver (basically it will be an online portfolio). I would like to have a box/slideshow with images of my work that someone can browse through by clicking 'next' and 'back' buttons. Does anyone know how to do this? I have been trying to find out how to do this for ages - i dont want to use flash if possible as i am worried about making the site too complicated. I know how to make swap image thumbnails, but i think my site would be more user friendly (and look more professional) if i could have next and back buttons. Would this involve complicated css code (which scares the life out of me!) or is there a relatively easy way to do it? I have got two 'dreamweaver for idiots' books, but neither of them cover this topic. Can anyone help?

If you are using CS4, there is a Command to create a Web Album... this does it automatically for you.
Otherwise, you can create this manually. Say you have 3 pages,
page1.html (is the index page of the album)
page2.html
page3.html
Therefore, using ordinary text links
Home would link to page1.html
Previous would link to page3.html
Next would link to page2.html
You would need to make adjustments naturally to each page as you move along with the gallery pages, changing the previous and the next links as needed. Below is a a basic example of setting up the links in a simple table structure. You would also then style the table layout as you see fit - yes, using css preferably :-)
<table>
<tr>
<td><h2>MY GALLERY OF PHOTOS</h2>
<a href="page3.html">Previous</a> | <a href="index.html">Home</a> | <a href="page2.html">Next</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<br>
<a href="../images/img_2401_jpg.jpg"><img src="../images/img_2401_jpg.jpg" border=0></a><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here's an article on creating an album using the DW Command I mentioned earlier. You could create the album and then copy and paste the code into a current page if you've already designed on.,... not too difficult, I just tested it. You do however, need to have Fireworks to process the images.

You could also check out the Lightbox effect which is very popular:
http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
Or do a google search for 'jquery'. There are different album effects using that framework as well.
Hope some of this helps :-)

Create back button on preview page

I have parameterized report where im trying to input ID to get the data. How do we create back button next to view report on the preview page in SSRS. Any help much appreciated.

Hi SQL Insane,
Per my understanding that you want to add an "Go Back" button in the Report next to the "View Report" button in SSRS, right?
I have tested on my local environment and that it is difficult for us to add an "Go Back" button next to the "View Report" in the designer, but if you are an expert of developer you can write some code to add this Button.
I have some alternative method which is more simple to recommend you according to your requirements.
Details information for your reference:
Add "GO Back" button which can work in both designer and report server.
1) You can create an textbox in the report and right click the textbox properties to select the "Go to Report" to go back to report(Go back to main report itself or go back from child report to main report).
2) If you go back from child report to main report("Go to Report"), you can add "Go Back" in the child report and add corresponding parameters and you can hide the parameter in the main report.This will make sure they will pass the same
values back when you click the back button. So in effect it will be same as your navigation button.
Add "Go Back" button which will only work in the Report Server or report manager:
You can create an textbox in the report and right click the textbox properties to select the "Go to URL" to go back to report.Using this expression in the "Select URL":
="javascript:history.go(-1)"
OR
="javascript:history.back(1)"
OR
="javascript:void(window.history.back())"
If you are using the report viewer control in the application, you can add some code to create the "GO Back" button next to the "View Report" button, sample code in below article for your reference:
You add it to your ReportViewer.aspx file.
Please see an example here:
https://github.com/MagnusJohansson/CustomSSRSReportViewer/blob/master/ReportViewer.aspx
See instructions here
https://github.com/MagnusJohansson/CustomSSRSReportViewer
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
Regards
Vicky Liu

Any way to change back button title without creating new button?

Hi,
Is there any way to change the back button title on a navigation controller without having to create a whole new button and action to go with it?
Thanks
Ray

Yes, you don't need to create a new a new action mechanism etc.
One way to change the back button text on a the navbar of a view is to create a new UIBarButtonItem (with nil tagget and nil action )
Then set self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem of the parent view controller to the new button
Note that you're setting the backbarButtonItem of the parent view controller (and not the view controller on which this bar button will be displayed). This automatically plugs in the default target, action etc. So you don't need to implement it
