Editing the normal state of a button

It seems that whenever I edit the rollover state of a button, I accidentally change the normal state. When I try to duplicate the mistake to fix my earlier one, I can't change the normal state, no matter what I seem to try.
Can anyone help?

I'd try restoring your InDesign preferences as a common troubleshooting solution:

How I can return the replication groups to be in the normal state again?

Hi All,
can anybody help me on the following issue:
after executing "*exec dbms_repcat.suspend_master_activity(gname=>'RG_EARMS');*"
I got the following and it rejected to resume the replication again:

I don't see an "dbms_repcat.do_deferred_repcat_admin('"RG_EARMS"') job.
The RepGroup would be quiescing but not quiesced if there are active, uncomitted transactions.
What is the error you get when you attempt to resume -- I guess that the groups are in the queiscing state ?

How do I remove the "normal state" image after applying a "rollover state" image?

I want to make a site similar to http://piecespeople.prosite.com/
But when I apply the rollover image, the original image doesn't vanish, so I can't see the words in my rollover image through the original image.
I've been able to do this effect with the previous version but now I can't.
Please help! THanks!

Thanks Guarav,
But the fill drop down for the normal state is already clear (with red line). This is how it looks for instance. I want to clear the lightbulb in the rollover state so that I see the words behind it.

How can I create a navigation bar in the template so I can change the down state of a button on a page made from the template in DW3?

We're creating pages from a template in DW3. The template includes a header, footer and a navigation bar. We've made the navigation bar an editable region so that we can change the down state of the buttons on pages where it is required. However, when we make a new page from the template and try to change the behaviors of the buttons in the navigation bar it will not allow us to make those changes.

Have you considered using CSS styled text/list menus instead of image rollovers. It isn't hard really and it's actually a much better choice for web accessibility and for search engines to find and follow your links. Here are some links to several CSS menu systems you can try:

How to maintain the hover state of a button while it is in it's current page?

Hi,
I'm just a beginner in actionscript 3. I have this code about navigation using movieclip buttons. I just made the currently selected button disabled when it is in the current page but I just cant figure out on how to maintain it in its hover state (It keeps on returning to its normal state). Any ideas, your help will be very much appreciated. Thanks.
Here's the code I've written on the first frame on the main timeline(scene1), I have 4 buttons namely mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4 and 4 labeled frames, page1, page2, page3 and page4.:
var page:String;
var btnArray:Array = [mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4];
var pageArray:Array = ["page1", "page2", "page3", "page4"];
for (var i:int = 0; i < btnArray.length; i++) {
    btnArray[i].buttonMode = true;
    btnArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
    btnArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onMouseOut);
    btnArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onMouseOver);
function onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
    for (var i:int = 0; i < btnArray.length; i++) {
        if (event.currentTarget == btnArray[i]) {
            btnArray[i].mouseEnabled = false;
            page=pageArray[i];
            play();
        else {
            btnArray[i].mouseEnabled = true;
function onMouseOut(event:MouseEvent){
        event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("out");
function onMouseOver(event:MouseEvent){
        event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("over");

use:
var lastClickedButton:MovieClip;
var page:String;
var btnArray:Array = [mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4];
var pageArray:Array = ["page1", "page2", "page3", "page4"];

    btnArray[i].buttonMode = true;
    btnArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
    btnArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onMouseOut);
    btnArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onMouseOver);
function onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
    for (var i:int = 0; i < btnArray.length; i++) {
        if (event.currentTarget == btnArray[i]) {
            //btnArray[i].mouseEnabled = false;
lastClickedButton.gotoAndPlay("out");
lastClickedButton=MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
            page=pageArray[i];

Can't make buttons hidden in normal state.

I've been reading the boards about how to make buttons hidden in the normal state and that all you have to do is turn the opacity down to 0, but that doesn't seem to be working for me. The buttons (such as the triangle or solid line built in to DVDSP) just turn grey.
Is there something I am missing?
Please advise.

Transparent normal state button

I'm trying to use a logo as the selected state of my buttons. During the normal state I want this to be transparent. It seems like I'm missing something really easy here, but I just can't figure it out. I've tried making a custom shape with the 4 layers in photoshop, but all I could get was the logo to change colors. I don't want the logo to change colors, just to appear when the button is selected and go away when it's not. It's a three color logo and I'm using DVDSP 3. Thanks in advance.

There are two ways that you can do this without resorting to using a layer based shape or a layer based menu.
First, you need to decide if it is important for the logo to appear in full colour or if you can get away with a single colour instance of it appearing. If the answer to this is that a single colour is OK, then use a standard overlay menu. Otehrwise, try using a masked overlay menu (there are limitations...)
With a standard overlay, the background image is as you want it to appear without anything selected - all shapes and text, etc, should be in place as if no button is chosen.
You then create the overlay, which is a simple .pict file that is the size of the menu. On this you simply place as many instances of the logo as you need - create them in black or grayscale and don't add anything else. The overlay will be mostly white with the black or gray shapes on it.
Add this to your menu in DVDSP and drag out the button rectangles to cover the background text and the overlay shape. When the button is selected, the logo shape will show up, but will not show in the normal state.
You can get the logo to be whatever colour you need by using the colour mapping within the property inspector for the button.
If you definitley need a full colour logo to appear, you can either use a layer based photoshop menu, or use overlay masks:
http://www.editorsbin.com/authoring/mask_overlay.html
be aware that there are some limitations when using the masking technique - but all is explained in that tutorial.

Normal State Button Shows Selected State At Loop Point

My menu shows the Normal State Button Shows as the selected state At Loop Point. I want it to show for instance black until it is selected then "rollover" to red. TIA for any help.

How can i change the color of a blinking button?

Dear all,
how can i change the color of a blinking button with property nodes, when the button changes from "normal" state to blinking state? I can change the color of the normal state, but how can I change the color when the button is in blinking state?
thanks

Overlay visible in "normal" state only

I created an overlay TIFF in Photoshop - I placed an mpeg2 video (which I created with FCP and Motion and then compressed in Compressor) as the background and I drug my TIFF in as the overlay.
I go into Menu view in DVDSP and the only version of my overlay that is visible is the "normal" state if I drag the opacity up. The activated and the selected states do not appear. I have clicked alternately on the buttons in the lower right of the menu tab to see any change as well as have selected the different button states under the VIEW>BUTTON STATE pull down menu - to no avail. The only button state which I can see is the Normal state and that is just because I have drug the opacity up.

Have you created a button over the area of the highlights? Is the selected and activated states set to full opacity (15) and is the color set to something that will standout against the background?

Tween the icon you are over to its normal state

I have this snippet of code I've been running successfuly on my image buttons grouped into one MC.
It applies changes to the buttons I am not rolling over, i.e. if I were to roll over a button the rest of the buttons in the group would dim and blur and etc, but not the button I am over.
All worked fine until I decided to group buttons one more time.
With my limited knowledge of AS3 I was able to put all the actions to the buttons except into making the button I am over to stay the way it is.
In my understanding the problem is in the line:
// target = tween the icon you are over to its normal state
TweenMax.to(e.target, .5, {alpha: 1, blurFilter:{blurX:0, blurY:0}, colorMatrixFilter:{colorize:0x000000, amount:0, brightness:1.25, saturation:1}, ease:Sine.easeOut});
particularly in properly specifiying e.target
I tried a few variations but nothing seemed to work.
What would be a proper code to go two levels deep into an MC?
Below is my full code:
IMGS_COLLAGE.buttonMode=true;
IMGS_COLLAGE.useHandCursor = true;
IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOver);
IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, navOut);
function navOver(e:MouseEvent):void
          //loop through all icons
          for (var i in IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage)
                    //tween out all icons
                    TweenMax.to(IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage[i], .2, {alpha:.85, blurFilter:{blurX:11, blurY:11}, colorMatrixFilter:{colorize:0x000000, amount:0.25, brightness:0.65, saturation:0.7}, ease:Sine.easeOut});
                    //                                target = tween the icon you are over to its normal state
                    TweenMax.to(e.target, .5, {alpha: 1, blurFilter:{blurX:0, blurY:0}, colorMatrixFilter:{colorize:0x000000, amount:0, brightness:1.25, saturation:1}, ease:Sine.easeOut});
function navOut(e:MouseEvent):void
          for (var i in IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage)
                    //tween out all icons to a normal state
                    TweenMax.to(IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage[i], .5, {alpha: 1, blurFilter:{blurX:0, blurY:0}, colorMatrixFilter:{colorize:0x000000, amount:0, brightness:1, saturation:1}, ease:Sine.easeOut});

P.S.
While further working on the project I realised that sinse there are two img collages with the same navOver and navOut setting I should use one line of code.
Both of those images collages are located inside the IMGS_COLLAGE so I thought of deleting imgORIGINAL_collage out of IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage but it did not work.
So now I have two identical blocks of code for two image collages. Is there a way to unify them since both of them are located in IMGS_COLLAGE mc?
Here is how the code looks now:
// makes a hand cursor appear over a mc acting as a button for all the buttons inside the IMGS_COLLAGE.
IMGS_COLLAGE.buttonMode=true;
IMGS_COLLAGE.useHandCursor = true;
IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOver_ORIGINAL);
IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, navOut_ORIGINAL);
//set up a vars object to hold all the properties of the icons in normal state
//since we use these properties twice it makes sense to define them only once
var normalVarsIMGS_COLLAGE_ORIGINAL:Object = new Object();
normalVarsIMGS_COLLAGE_ORIGINAL={colorMatrixFilter:{colorize:0x000000, amount:0, brightness:1, saturation:1}, ease:Sine.easeOut};
function navOver_ORIGINAL(e:MouseEvent):void
          //loop through all icons
          for (var i in IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage)

                    //target = tween the icon you are over to its normal state
                    TweenMax.to(IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage[i], .5, normalVarsIMGS_COLLAGE_ORIGINAL);
                    }else{
                    TweenMax.to(IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage[i], .2, {colorMatrixFilter:{colorize:0x000000, amount:.15, brightness:0.85, saturation:0.45}, ease:Sine.easeOut});
function navOut_ORIGINAL(e:MouseEvent):void
          for (var i in IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage)
                    //tween out all icons to a normal state
                    TweenMax.to(IMGS_COLLAGE.imgORIGINAL_collage[i], .5, normalVarsIMGS_COLLAGE_ORIGINAL);
IMGS_COLLAGE.imgPNP_collage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOver_PNP);

How to turn off automatic button style in "normal state"

Hi everyone,
I have 2 different button styles (both from the palette menu) in my main menu. The problem is when I try to change the color of the first one in its "normal state" it effects all the other buttons. I just want it to effect one button at a time. How do I do this? Thanks much.
Rich

Sorry, This is a DVD Spec thing. However you can set different color values or grayscales settings for each button (up to 4 I believe) and assigned those different colors or grey scales different values.

Is it possible to capture the state of a button outside of capturing events?

I was wondering if there was a way in Flex to determine the state of a button (i.e. up, down, over, selected, etc..) besides capturing each individual events. What I am asking is essentially to be able to access the "phase" private member variable of the Button class. Please advise.

Actually, nevermind, I was mistaken that the Button.phase parameter was private, it is actually of mx_internal type. Thanks.

How do I get an iPod touch to turn on other than the normal way. It has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. Have tried holding the HOME button down for 30 sec. but that didn't work.

How does one get an iPod nano to turn on other than the "normal" way? This one has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. I have tried holding down the HOME button to restart it but no go. When I connect it to my computer, I am told to enter the PASSCODE which I cannot do as there is no touchpad.

David ..
Your topic refers to an iPod touch
Then you say: How does one get an iPod nano to turn on ......
If it's an iPod touch, try a reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, whether it's an iPod nano or touch, it probably needs service > Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

When trying to edit or download a pdf document, it becomes too large or on screen or normal size with many lines of text blacked out. How do I get it to do the normal presentation of the document

For years my pdf docs downloaded for viewing or editing as normally sized documents.
Now when I pull up a pdf from file, it becomes too large or becomes normal page size but many of the lines of text are blacked out. How do I correct it to go back to the previous default page size?

Hi wh4936,
Are you opening those files in Acrobat or Reader? You can set the default page size in the Page Display preferences. Choose Acrobat/Reader > Preferences in Mac OS, or Edit > Preferences in Windows to access the preference settings. Do the black lines only appear when the PDF is zoomed in? Or are they there regardless of the page magnification?
Best,
Sara
