Delaying button's appearance

Is there any way to cause the buttons on a menu to delay before appearing on the menu screen?

Definitely works in DVD-SP 2 (just did it the other day) but as "Houghts" says it may be that you need to use the Simple overlay method (whhich is what we do)
The only thing that doesn't work properly is returning to the loop point if you menu out of what's playing (I think I'm right in saying it defaults back to the beginning of the menu). We usually create two versions of the menu - one with the loop and delayed buttons appearing - for when the disc is first played - then one which has the buttons load straight away from the loop point.
Hope that makes sense (kind of)

Delayed button activation

In all of the DVD's I've made so far, I've noticed that it takes one cycle of the animated menu before the buttons are active. For example, if the play time of the menu is 20 seconds, it takes 20 seconds before the buttons are active. This happens both if the menu is set as 'first play' and/or the menu is accessed using the remote's 'menu' button. I noticed this doesn't happen in the 'Simulator'. Could this delay possibly be a 'feature' of DVD players, or am I missing a setting some place.

Hi:
I've noticed that it takes one cycle of the animated menu before the buttons are active.
Look at the Loop Pointsetting. In animated menus, the buttons overlays appear when the Loop Point time arives. That could be a reason for such behaiour, ... but ussually you must see that in simulator too!
Did you build the animated menu by yourself or are using a template?

Delaying buttons

Hi all.
Quick question concerning buttons. I like to have my menus transition onto the screen. (you know, they either fade on or slide on.. etc..) I'll usually make a quick video in motion where the background will fade in and the writing for the buttons will write on or fade on. The problem I hit is that when I create my actual buttons in DVDSP, the buttons are there the whole time.. (it looks really stupid when the background is black and there's a white dot on the screen.) I know a quick solution is to just make two videos, one that's the intro and then one that's the actual background in which I place my buttons, but then I hit a problem if I want to use sound in my intro that I want to carry through the menu.
Is there a way to get buttons to delay appearing until the appropriate time? Or is there a better method I could use to get the effect I'm wanting? I'm fairly new at these Mac programs (as I'm used to PC), so any advice I can get, the better.

Yes, there is...
The usual way is to set the loop point for the menu in the proerty inspector to be at a point where the text has faded up completely. You then need to add a simple overlay file to define the button highlights. When you add this to the menu it gets attached to the loop point marker and so the buttons only appear once the loop point is reached.
Read up in the manual about setting the loop point - it should help clarify all this.

How do I get the Next Button to appear on a form?

I have a form built off of a view. I pass a parameter from a report through a link to launch the form with the appropriate values. I would like user to then be able to navigate to the next set of information from the report without having to navigate all the way back to the report. I tried to activate the Next button with the onClick event and doNext function but the button never appears to the user. Thank you for any assistance!

Samuel,
The reason that you don't get the "Next" button is that the query that the form is running on returns only one row. Take a look at EXAMPLE_APP.EXAMPLE_SQL_REPORT and EXAMPLE_APP.EXAMPLE_FORM. You'll find that this form also does not show the "NEXT" button when called from the report. However if you edit the report and change the link parameter from empno to deptno, you'll find that the button comes up in the form.
I guess the best option you have is to create a custom button that simulates the functionality of the NEXT button i.e. have some logic to find out which empno must be the next one and then call the form like this :
l_empno := <whatever logic you have come up with>
l_url:=<portal_schema>.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=<module_id of the form>&p_arg_names=empno&p_arg_values='||l_empno||'&p_arg_names=_empno_cond&p_arg_values='||<portal_schema>wwv_standard_util.url_encode('=');
<portal_schema>.wwa_app_module.set_target(l_url, 'CALL');
Hope that helps,
Hsiu

On a mac computer how do you get the import button to appear in iTunes so i can do home share of music?

Do you have scroll bars enabled in the System Preferences > General tab (MacOS X 10.7 or later)?
Try, if setting this to "Show scroll bars > Always" will bring your scrollbar back.

ADF Buttons not appearing correctly

I've tried researching this problem and from what I've found it has said if we are using JDK version 1.4 and headless = true then we shouldn't have this problem. When running our application some of our ADF buttons will appear correctly and others will not.
When I look in our
application-deployments/../temp/adf/images/cache/en/
directory I can see the images of the buttons that appear correctly, but if I navigate to another page with different buttons I would then expect to see those images being creating in that folder but there are not. If anyone has any insight on this problem it would be a big help. Thanks.

Nothing leaps to mind that affected downloadable fonts in Firefox 34... but there are hundreds of changes in each version so I can't rule it out.
Just to go back to basics for a moment...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Buttons just appearing as text for certain clients until enabled with onClick and enabled

Would anyone know why buttons may disappear for some clients but not others.   I'm not finding a consistent pattern. When I sign in locally or through vpn they display and behave properly, but when I sign in externally via Chrome or IE 11
sometime the buttons only appear as text other disable buttons that are enabled on click. I have a laptop with ie11 Win8 and desktop with ie11 win7.   The laptop displays the buttons proper behavior and the desktop does not.
anyone have any ideas. Someone was working on the server recently and I'm wondering if any IIS setting may cause this problem. Thanks for help!
Buttons original state:
<td><asp:Buttonrunat="server"Text="Print"ID="btnPrint"CssClass="tablerowheader"Enabled="False"/>
<asp:Buttonrunat="server"Text="Submit"ID="btnSubmit"OnClick="btnSubmit_Click"
CssClass="tablerowheader"Enabled="False"/></td>
Buttons action:
<asp:checkbox runat="server" id="chkSignature" onclick="EnableSubmitButton(this)" text="I Agree" Font-Bold+"true" checked="False">

Solved.  The disabled status was being overwritten as null.

How so? You trying to type over it? If you keep typing the addresses drop below to next line. I have tried and tried to make it disrupt anything without success.

How do I produce buttons that appear at the end of a motion background? Please Help!!!

I just began working with my new production premuim CS3 suite and the current project that I am working on calls for buttons that appear right the end of the motion background. I have tryed everywhich way I can think of to import and export buttons that I thought I created in after effects. The video background works but when it get to the last frame of the video the buttons do not work. Please someone who has a bit more experience working with encore and after effects help.

Button not appearing on quiz pass

Hi All,
I'm trying to get a button to appear on a quiz when someone passes successfully. This button will be a link to another .swf file that will pulled into the project in Aggregator. The link is working fine, but I cannot get the smartshape to appear successfully when the quiz is passed. I have used the cpInfoPassFail Advanced Action set to greater than 1, visibility is turned off and execute advanced action is set in the Action property box, but still it does not show. I've working round and round and circles with this all day, trying different advanced actions, visibility on, off... and nothing is working with it.
If anyone has any suggestions how and why this not working, I'd really appreciate it. I'm not finding Captivate particularly intuitive at the moment and am seriously considering heading over the Storyline.

cpInfoPassFail will never be greater than 1; it has only two values: 0 if failed, and 1 if passed. It is a boolean variable.
When looking at your action: I thought you wanted to open the URL using the shape button, but you put the command Open immediately after showing the shape? That part should be triggered by the shape button. I hope you configured it as a button?

Push buttons not appearing

Hello Experts,
I had made push buttons on my screen through layout editor and set property as invisible (By Checking Invisible checkbox).
Now, based on some conditions at run time I want those push buttons to appear on screen.
For this I had written following code:
if sy-dynnr = 0101.
loop at screen.
    if screen-name = 'CUNDFILTER'.
      screen-active = 1.
      screen-invisible = 0.
      elseif screen-name = 'CFILTER'.
        screen-active = 1.
        screen-invisible = 0.
        ELSEIF screen-name = 'DSELALL'.
          screen-active = 1.
          screen-invisible = 0.
          elseif screen-name = 'SELECTALL'.
          screen-active = 1.
          screen-invisible = 0.
     endif.
     modify screen.
   endloop.
   endif.
I had checked in debug mode, above lines are getting executed but push buttons are not appearing on the screen at runtime.
Please help.

Hi,
You have to code your LOOP AT SCREEN in the PBO...

Buttons not appearing clearly upon output

I have created menu buttons (with highlight) that in turn link to the relevant movie file.
When outputted to DVD these buttons appear blurry and unclear.
Why are the buttons not appearing in a crisp, clean state when I have outputted them?

Which version of DVD SP are you using? Are you
making these over video menus? What size and color
of fonts/background? They can all play into what is
happening, usually 20pt + sans serif works best, but
the text in DVD SP can often leave things to be
desired from time to time - where are you previewing
the buttons?
Thanks for your reply.
The vesrion Im using is DV Studio Pro 3. The up state color of the buttons are black and over is red. The font size is 13pt Arial Black.
I have outputted the DVD itself, so I view it through TV.
Am I on the right track?
Thanks again.

Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs. When I put the DVD into another computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. What's preventing songs from being ripped?

When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes.
The import command only works with audio CDs. So if you burned the files in mp3 format, try instead using the "File > Add file to library" or "File > Add folder to library" commands.

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.
