Deactivate buttons on lower layers

Hi all,
In my page I have included a button that plays a movie. In
this movie a balk box expands open across most of the page with
text and pictures in it. Like a popup in a html web browser. The
effect works fine and gives the desired result but any buttons
under the popup frame (that is buttons in lower layers that are not
visible but are still there) still work. This can cause a little
confusion if a user accidentally clicks on them or rolls over them
with their mouse. Is there a way to deactivate buttons outside the
movie or in lower layers. Thanks for any help.
RG

Place this in your actions layer on the frame where you want
to disable your button:
buttonName_btn.enabled = false;

  • I can't find the deactivate button. I know you need to go to Help Deactivate. But where is this help? On Adobe or on my computer?

    I can't find the deactivate button. I know you need to go to Help > deactivate. But where is this help? On Adobe or on my computer?

    Open whatever application you wish to deactivate and from the top toolbar choose Help -> Deactivate.  If this is for a Creative Suite then just open any one of the applications that are in it and deactivate thru that - it will deactivate the entire suite.

  • UNABLE TO SEE/ANSWER INCOMING CALLS. Instead, there is a "call status" button in lower left hand corner of screen...

    UNABLE TO SEE/ANSWER INCOMING CALLS. Instead, when there is an incoming call, there is a "call status" button in lower left hand corner of screen...if i try to select the "call status" button, it does not do anything. Is this a reception issue?  Very strange.....please help!!!!
    Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

    yeah, that's pretty strange. i suggest to try soft reset first and then if it's still showing the same behavior. do a hard reset. that should help. however if it's still acting strange, you call the palm tech support hotline. 1-877-426-3777. they will help you with your sprint treo pro.

  • Acrobat 9 Deactivate button greyed out, waiting didn't work, contacting Adobe chat support didn't work

    I recently swapped a computer out. I need to move over the Acrobat install from the old computer to the new. I went to activate on the new computer and it said that the software had already been activated twice and would need to be deactivated on the old computer. I booted up the old computer and the Deactivate button was greyed out.
    I read that waiting for a while will sometimes correct this but it did not after opening a document and waiting 30 minutes, still greyed out. Uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat on old computer, still greyed out.
    I also tried contacting Adobe chat support and they pointed me here.

    Hey roystarr,
    I tried to check with your account for the same email address that you using here on forums, but could find any order history.
    Could you please tell me whether you have a retail or volume license for Acrobat 9.
    So, I would request you to please Contact Customer Care and ask for an activation count reset, if possible in your case.
    Let me know.
    Regards,

  • New to Flash - Imported layers contain contents of lower layers?

    Hello.
    I have just started using flash, and know next to nothing about some of its functions, so I apologise if I appear to ask questions with obvious answers.
    Anyway, I am attempting to add animation to a previously created layered image, which I am importing from a .psd. The image is structured so that different layers contain translucent masks for objects below - e.g., an upper layer might contain a purple tint gradient which is overlayed on the layers below. I can open up this image in photoshop and it behaves as you might expect, but I'm having difficulties importing the image into flash. When I do, for some reason, the layer contents are modified so that some layers contain not only the contents previously in the layer, but the contents of everything below it, as if that layer and all layers below have been merged down into that one layer. The lower layers are still present, but any modifications made to them are not visible as they are blocked by lower layers. This does not seem to be true for all layers -  only those that previously contained elements with an alpha value anywhere between 0 and 255 - i.e., the mask layers. This makes it impossible to achieve my goal, as I am attempting to animate the objects beneath the masks.
    I'm not sure entirely why this is happening - it seems to be flash converting my layers in a very unintuitive manner. If anybody can help me figure out how to get around this, I would be very grateful. Possibly I could import each layer one at a time and re-arrange them in flash, but this would be very time consuming, especially considering that I may want to add animation to multiple similar files in the future. As such, if there is a way to get the layers to import correctly as arranged in the .psd, then this would be extremely useful.
    Thanks!
    [moved from AS3 forum - not AS related]

    What are you using to generate the PSD?
    Flash's mask support is a bit tricky. In most versions of flash it works as an on/off switch. If a layer is marked as a mask layer, if there is ANY data (transparent or not, white or black or any color), it considers that you want to show that portion of the layers it masks. If there is no bitmap data of any kind in the area, it will NOT show that.
    Pictures are much easier to explain. This behavior would be much different in Photoshop.
    In Flash, say you start with a giant ugly stock rainbow square as the graphic you wish to mask:
    Note in the timeline above I have a layer above named 'mask' and it's set to actually be a mask layer. In that layer I have this radial black/white gradient:
    If I pasted that into the alpha channel of a layer in Photoshop it would gradient the pictures transparency based on the black/gray/white. In flash, it doesn't care about that. All it cares about is there "is" or "is not" data. Since there's data in a larger region than the image it is masking, it will show the whole rainbow square below it, unlike Photoshop:
    There's the output, mask applied.
    Now if I actually cut a square of "bitmap data" out of the middle of the mask, Flash will dutifully clip that area so you can't see it. No data = can't see. So my new mask:
    Now due to there being "missing data" in that rectangular area it will cut out that portion of the rainbow box:
    Does this clarify a bit about the simplicity of masks?
    To get masks to work a bit more like Photoshop there's a bit of a code workaround we've all used for quite a long time. You can read it in many links of you search for AS3 gradient mask. Take a look at the code samples to see how.

  • Deactivate button greyed out

    I had to replace my motherboard and I need to re-install the OS.
    I have registered Acrobat 8 Pro and it was activated, but since a recent update the deactivate button is greyed out. I have tried the repair function and tried to re-register but it has not helped.
    I have had this problem before and the only solution I have found is to un-install the app, re-install the app and then apply the updates before registering and re-activating but the problem with this is obvious. I had the same issue with V7 pro.
    This is a massive pain. Any other suggestions?

    This process is insane and customer service is just about zero help. It boggles the mind that there isn't a way for Adobe Customer Service to delete the previous activations of the product. What a horrible design for their licensing system!

  • How to deactivate button after click??

    hello experts,
    how to deactivate button after click???
    there are 2 buttons
    Download | Add
    now if i click on download the download button should get deactive.....n  Add button position should not change..
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    1. Declare an internal table of type sy-ucomm. i.e.
    DATA : it_fcode TYPE TABLE OF sy-ucomm.
    2. Append Function Codes of the options in the Menu that you want to deactivate to the above declared internal table. For e.g. If DWL & ADD are the Function Codes of options that need to be deactivated then,
    APPEND 'DWL' TO it_fcode.
    APPEND 'ADD' TO it_fcode.
    3. Set PF_-Status as shown below.
    SET PF-STATUS 'status_name' EXCLUDING it_fcode.
    4. Now, the options in the menu bar with Function Codes 'DWL' & 'ADD' will be deactivated.

    I want to deactivate Acrobat 8.1 on one computer so I can activate on another, but the deactivate button is greyed out.

    My standard list of things to do first for these wierd sort of problems, but I also tend to run these before I go to burn an iDVD project just to be safe. Keep in mind this list represents the programs I tend to use. There are several alternate programs that do the same things with some combining the functions of some of the ones below. So everyone has their favorites, but here are mine...
    Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
    Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system, especially any external drives that you use for iMovie and iDVD projects.
    Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
    Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
    Reboot your Mac (after running Cache Out X you are given the option to restart the machine).
    My guess is that after running Cache Out X and restarting you might find your hard drive space back again. If not, you might try booting off your restore/install CD or DVD that came with your system and then trying to delete that log file, then rebooting with your hard drive again.

  • Is it possible to rearrage buttons in the layers pallet?

    I would like to do this because I find it very akward to have everything in the top section of the layers pallet, while just a few buttons are way down on the bottom. I've been using SAI for years and would like to transition over to photoshop for painting.  Would it be possible to move all the buttons along the bottom row in the layer pallet to the top, just under everything else using scripting? If not, is it possible to create an alternate layer pallet using scripting or plugins?

    Yes, it is absolutely possible.
    So long as each button on the layers panel is associated with its own keyboard shortcut, then this can be done easily.
    With Autohotkey, you can create your own toolbars and place them anywhere on the Photoshop screen. Each button you create will have its own icon image (.bmp for example), and when clicked on, will send its keyboard shortcut to Photoshop.
    For example:
    If you want to add a 'new layer' button to your new custom toolbar, you just create your own little .bmp image of new layer (whatever you want it to look like, maybe a red '+' sign), then program the button to send  'ctrl/shift/n' to photoshop, and it will add a new layer to Photoshop whenever you click this button. This allows you to ignore the default 'new layer' button that's on the bottom of the layer panel and instead use your own custom button. You can have this button appear anywhere on your photoshop screen; it allows you to drag it anywhere on the screen. You can add unlimited buttons wiht unlimited keyboard shortcuts to your custom toolbar and have it look anyway you wish - you design it.

    My volume button to lower volume does not work

    Take it to the Genius Bar while you are still under warranty and they should be able to fix it.  I went, one day after my warranty expired.  While they confirmed the problem in my iPhone 5, they said it would be $269 to fix.  The tech did helpfully show me how there's a much less convenient softkey workaround using General >Accessibility > AssistiveTouch.  Seems to be a common problem.

  • Help with buttons accessing loaded layers

    Hi all...Using Flash CS3 and AS3 to build a learning module that will load different layers of SWF files based on buttons on the main screen.  Got this working with no problems.  What I want to do is add buttons to provide learners some functionality, specifically a forward button, back button and a check box that will keep advancing automatically.  I've done massive searches and so far nothing seems to work.  Seems like what I am acccessing so far is the main layer, not the new layers as they are loaded.  Below is what I have been trying with the back button; the foward button uses nextFrame and is Handler2.  It isn't working.  Not even sure how to start with the checkbox for auto advance.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Mark
    back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
    function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void
                    MovieClip(root).prevFrame();

    Thank you for your reply.  This is what I have so far - the module has four differentSWFs that load depending on what the user selects.  The modules are titled Introduction, Standards, Elements, and Traits.  When clicked, the button loads that specfic SWF and the previous one is unloaded. Hope I am using the correct terminology - I'm more familiar with AS2 than 3!

  • How do you apply a Motion Video Asset as a button on a layered Menu?

    Hi Guys,
    I am trying to create a layered menu with 2 x Motion Video Asset's as buttons (toggling between the two buttons for selection & activation).
    When I add a menu - The motion video asset is perfectly displayed as a button in the menu screen. But when I add a Layered Menu and drag my motion video asset across, it does not show the video...it shows an empty square/button in the menu screen. When the drop-down menu pops up when dragging the video asset across, I choose 'create button & track' as when I choose the other option, the 'templates' window pops up and I have my own layered menu created by Photoshop, so I don't want to use the templates. Please help?? Thank you. Anthony
