External button link..... help?

is it possible to create web buttons in indesign cs4 that are capable of being used to link to other web pages without opening in a new window?

the code i posted would cause nothing to occur onRollOver.
you must have code elsewhere causing a problem. look for
rollOver coding to remedy.

  • Dreamweaver simpleviewer multiple galleries button links help

    I am trying to do this:
    http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/examples/multiple_galleries/gallery1/index .html
    and here is another good example
    http://www.designhousestudios.co.uk/sampleportfoliogallery/sampleportfolio.html
    on my page here:
    http://peachtree-designs.com/
    This seems to be the code that pertains to the different slideshows (this is from the example webpage of how I want it to be):
    <div id="header" >
    <a href = "../gallery1/index.html">Gallery 1</a> | <a href = "../gallery2/index.html">Gallery 2</a>
    </div>
    <div id="flashcontent">SimpleViewer requires JavaScript and the Flash Player. <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/">Get Flash.</a></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    The "Simple" Viewer slideshow gives instructions on how to simply embed  and I have done that successfully, a link is here in case you want to check it out:
    http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/examples/embedded/
    I have this working fine but would like to embed several galleries. The instruction page of "simple"viewer says to create multiple galleries you just need to:
    " ...To create multiple SimpleViewer galleries, make a copy of the whole SimpleViewer gallery folder for each gallery. Create your individual galleries as normal. You can now create a menu page that links to the index.html page in each sub-folder. Here is an example that contains a menu to navigate between 2 SimpleViewer galleries."
    My confusion lies in what the heck a menu page is. I have ignored this all together and tried looking at the code from pages that give examples. especially the page that gives a download of html.
    But I don't understand how to link the buttons in Dreamweaver to create different slideshows. I've put the four slideshow folders (print, illustration, logo, design) into my main HTML page. I assume the solution is to put the code mentioned above in for each slideshow/gallery .. reference each gallery by my folders names but then somehow make the DW buttons link to those folders.
    I'll keep poking around at this and see if I can figure it out, but any input, advice or help would be SO very appreciated. If you would speak in laymans terms I'd appreciate it, I know flash well but am new to dreamweaver and not very good at codeing though I manage.
    Thanks so much in advance, sorry this is so long winded.

    I'm actually still having a problem with the individual galleries linking to the swf. Here's an explination and I'm attaching a snapshot of the file folder structure and the html's:
    Thanks for responding :) I feel like I'm almost there, been struggling with this for a week.
    my site is here:
    http://peachtree-designs.com/web.html
    I am going with a different approach, instead of trying to link the graphics from within each gallery folder I am instead placing each gallery html outside the individual gallery folders in my root folder ... then trying to link the main html page to each html gallery file, and have each gallery file link/see the swf galleries within the folders.
    I have made separate gallery folders for each gallery, print, logo ect is in it's separate folder in the root folder of my website.
    In the main root folder I have the index.html *plus* I've put each galleries html file *outside* it's folder but directly in the root folder, so the main html webpage file can link (with the buttons) to each gallery html in the root folder.
    Problem is getting the galleries html's to connect/link to the swf gallery in each gallery folder (within the root folder) (I'd put the html's directly in it's gallery folder but then the graphics links break). "gallery not found" is what I get and I'm not sure how to do this. In the code of each gallery html is this:
      <td valign="top"><script type="text/javascript">
    var fo = new SWFObject("illustrations/viewer.swf", "viewer", "500", "500", "8", "#c5bdb2");
    fo.write("flashcontent");    
        </script></td>
    so the gallery html's in the root folder *should* be directed to each swf in it's gallery folder: illustrations/viewer.swf .. print/viewer.swf ... etc ... but it's not working.
    I'm going to try to just attach my whole site in case someone can take a look and tell me what's wrong. It's large but I'm desperate and it's hard to explain.

  • Photoshop button links- help!

    I created several different photoshop buttons that link to different pages in my website. I had never had an issue with them until I started moving the physical location of the buttons around on the page. In preview mode, all links work perfectly. However when I publish my work, the buttons are linked to all the wrong pages (they usually link to the page that used to be in that physical location).
    However I've double checked and they are all linked properly. I have no idea what is wrong.
    Here is my site. if you click on the buttons in the bottom row you will see what I mean.

  • My MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!

    My MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.  
    Step 10
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 11
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 12
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 13
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • HELP!!! Cant make buttons/links work.

    HI,
    I have a flash that I am trying to make the buttons/links towork on and no matter what I do they just do not work. I have many hours into it so far and just had no success weather using my CS3 how to book of the forums information.
    I not sure what I am missing. Never had this much trouble before. the first one I tried is HOME, have not gone farther since I can make the 1st one work.
    Here is a link to the files.

    Can some one give me a cule where I messed up and how to fix it.
    Thank you so much.

    You have a few things going on that aren't helping.  When you code buttons the way you have, you have to put the code on the timeline and give the buttons the instance name you use in that code.  You also have to assign the code  to the instance that is going to use it.
    You have one such piece of code on the timeline, which would be correct except I believe the button it belongs to doesn't exist yet (it's somewhere down the timeline), and it needs to be in the presence of that code for that code to do anything.
    The other similar version of that code you do not have on the timeline, but have it attached to the button instead, which will not work.   And again, it is most likely not where it needs to be because that instance is not the instance that exists when the menu is finished setting up... that instance is at the beginning  of a transition to the real instance that the code should be assigned to.
    Try assigning all your buttons instance names, at every keyframe.  Then create an actions layer for your code and use it for the code.  And place all the button code in the last frame of the layer so that the butons have it assigned to them where it counts... when they are present and ready to be used.

  • Acrobat X external document linking problem

    Hello,
    I have been using Acrobat 6 standard for our user manuals for years and have recently started using Acrobat X.
    It seems that the external document linking has changed though.  I used to put all of our 3rd party literature (PDFs) in a separate folder (to keep it clean and neat) under our main manual PDF.  I would link to all those documents inside our user manual PDF.  Then when I later burned the PDF and the 3rd party literature to a CD, as long as I maintained the folder heirarchy, everything worked just fine.
    Under Acrobat X though this doesn't seem to be the case.  If I just burn it to a CD, then the all of the external links are broken.  I have been able to do this by adding Desinations names to the 3rd part literature but this is a lot more work and I don't want to modify all of the 3rd party docs.  In addition, some of them are read only and you cannot edit them.
    Does anyone know how to link to external documents in Acrobat X and then move them to a new location while maintaining the link without editing the external documents (some are read only).
    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    The Javascript code populates a field on the form and the If Then statement sets this value based on  the amount in another field.  I have changed all of the values in the If Then statement but the button is still using the old values.
    I have tried this on three different computers and it will not pick up the new values. 

  • Design-Time Data with external url linking

    I have a data list here:
    http://facetmedia.com/new/
    In the portfolio section I would like to make links which are clickable for the portfolio items. I now know how to use Flex Builder to make external URL links for regular buttons. What I don't know is how to edit this data list to create external links. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi trancepriest,
    First, if you haven't already, you probably want to read some of the other posts here about creating a URL link button.  Once you've tried doing that and feel comfortable setting up a simple URL link in a test project, then you can move on to integrating this functionality into your list.
    Now -- the rest depends on how the data is represented in your list.  From some of your other posts here, it actually sounds like you're no longer using a list at all, but rather just a tall layout of hardcoded items set inside a scrolling viewport.  If this is the case, you can just repeat the simple button creation you did above, placing all the buttons in the appropriate places in your tall layout (on top of / next to each distinct "item" in the layout).
    If you're still using a Data List with a Repeated Item, then the initial setup will be a little bit more tricky, but it will save you time in the long run since you only have to set up one button (which will then be repeated for each item).  Here's how:
    Find the "dataProvider" tag in the code.
    Inside that will be a series of "Object" tags listing your current list data.  Add a new "url" attribute to each tag, e.g. url="http://www.adobe.com".
    Edit the Repeated Item's definition (in the source code, find the itemRenderer attribute on the List tag and ctrl+click it).
    Create your URL link button inside there. But -- instead of typing in the URL as a string in quotes (as seen in other examples in this forum), use data.url to refer to the url attribute you added in step 2.
    Hope that helps!

  • How can I set a button/link that is visible on all slides?

    I want to add a button/link that is automatically visible on all slides (whole project). But it seems it does not work. Any help?

    Hello,
    It depends on your version. I hope you are on CP6 or later. In that case you have two possiblities:
    a shape button on the main master slide (and be sure that all daughter master slides have the objects of the main master slide)
    a shape button on the first slide, timed for the rest of the project.

  • BPC 7.5NW External Data Links

    Hi All u2013
    This question is in regards to a BPC 7.5 NW (SP8) input schedule stored in BPC with externally linked MS Excel 2007 spreadsheets stored outside BPC.
    I have built an input schedule (which is stored in a team folder) and linked external excel spreadsheets into the schedule. My EVDRE is in Sheet1. Sheets2 u2013 5 contain the links to my non-BPC workbooks.
    My problem is that when I use the u201CSend and Refresh Schedulesu201D u2013 u201CActive worksheetu201D, multiple windows pop-up for updating the links in the non-active (external data linked) worksheets. Does anyone have a better way to link data external to BPC in a schedule or report? If not, is there a way to stop these pop-ups?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Can you try as follows:

    Hope it helps..
