I wouldn't recommend the use of Flash buttons period.
They cannot be spidered.
They do not appear when the visitor doesn't have Flash
plugin.
They are not usable by screen assistive devices.
They have link and path problems after they have been
inserted on your page.
Your best bet is to forget they exist and use an ordinary
text or graphic
link.

We can not clear all recents(30 recents call). When Tango show "No recents call". We touch other buttons and come back to Recents button again. It still show 30 recents call.

No one here is going to do anything about it. Send feedback to Apple.

There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
The issue your having is with the way Keynote takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
If you want to show a wesite or another app on either display, use application switcher:
press the the command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command > tab to return to Keynote.

DW5 back button (and go back function) OK in Firefox, go back too far in IE8.

Both the browser window back arrow button and the DW5 javascript "go back" function go back the correct ONE STEP in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer 8 either button jumps too far back, to a main page instead of to the departure point within some opened tab or opened accordion element on that page. Not stepping bcak through "history". Any ideas what is wrong in IE8?

Hi Greg,
before I go back to your "back"-function, I would like to draw your attention to DW's "jump function" (translated from my German DW). It appears to me a greater reliability in use than the other solutions. You can accurately send the people to the desired page.
and there e.g.:
And and among the simultaneous use of "your" your back-function, you certainly come to the goal.
I know these back-solutions and sometimes it is not all to bad toyou have these opportunities:
<a href="javascript:history.back()">one page back</a> or <br><br><a href="javascript:history.back();">
and links forward to do this way:
<a href="javascript:history.forward()">one page forward</a>
I'll look for your informations later.

Can I create a Flash button and use it to navigate to the next slide of a PowerPoint Presentation?

Hello all,
I've been having a bit of a hard time understanding how to get a button which I have created in Flash to navigate to the next slide of the PowerPoint presentation which it has been added into. I'm fairly new to Flash, so I believe that this is slightly out of my natural skill range, so hopefully someone will be able to help.
I understand that I somehow need to make use of fscommand in ActionScript, but I'm not sure how I can get Flash and PowerPoint to communicate between themselves. If anyone could write a walkthrough on how to do this, I would be bery grateful.
I'm using Flash MX 2004 7.0 and Powerpoint 2003.
Thanks

Hi. Why not to make the whole presentation in FLASH? What you have to do is to import all the slides inside FLASH. Then place one by one in the stills and then create the code to make the stills advance and show the slides by means of the button. The code for the button goes as follows:
on (release) {
nextFrame();
to introduce this code make sure you press the button and no the frame.
Then in order to make the presentation open and cover the screen, no matter how big it is, you need to enter the following code in the first frame:
stop();
fscommand ("showmenu",false);
fscommand ("fullscreen", true);
You will need also a button to quit the aplication. This is the code:
on (release) {
stop();
fscommand ("quit");
Now write all of this in your application and let me know your experience. MamenFLASH$

Gray frame around flash buttons and more...

Hi,
1.I've used flash buttons in my home page,the problem is
that when u view the page with explorer u see a gray frame around
the buttons...
It is so ugly...some one knows how to fix it without using
the code?
2. Another problem, the behevior "show pop up menu" is not
valid,
i've used it before on that page....
i tried everything... i saved it ,linked it...
i dont know what is the problem...
thank you....if you can help
Racheli

I'm experiencing the same problems with my flash buttons. As
you hover over them initially, a gray border surrounds them and an
alt tag pops up that says "click here to activate this control."
This confuses some of the visitors, becuase they perceive this as
if the buttons do not work. I suspect it may be a browser specific
problem...are there any quick fixes for this? Thanks for the help.

Flash Button and IE7 issues

When I first built www.tutsheaven.com, I used Dreamweaver and
Flash buttons. Everything has worked fine until IE7 came out. Now,
you need to double click on the buttons to navigate to the next
page. Is there a fix for this problem, or do I need to change all
of the buttons on this and some other sites?

Flash buttons and music

Hello Flashers-
I bought a flash button template to play an audio file on a
website I'm working on. Now that I have bought the button, how do I
get it to play the audio file I want?
Here is the button set I bought:
Flash button
template
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

the audio file is an mp3 file. i am trying to put a flash
'play' button on our html site for a 30 second preview for a song.
if i can just embed the audio in a swf, then that would be awesome,
but i'm not sure how to do that. i'm also not familiar with loading
it externally, so either way i'm ill-equipped to make this work. i
assume if it is an external file then it needs to be loaded.
i appreciate any info you can share.

I hate the update of the bar. It has totally done away with being able to skip back several places in the browser; now I can only click the back button and go back one page at a time. I otherwise hate the new layout, too. How do I undo this?

I can't choose a specific page to skip back to but must click the back button over and over to get back to where I want to skip to. The little headings "most visited," "getting started," "Youtube," etc. have changed. They look more colorful, but I hate how the home button is clear over to the right side of the page, etc. What was wrong with the way everything was before? I HATE this new update, and I didn't even want it.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

Using a Flash button and rollover captions simultaneously

Hi,
I have a button that I created in Flash. When hovered over, the button turns a different color. I'd like to use this button simultaneously with the rollover caption feature in Captivate, but it looks like I can only get one or the other to work, depending which is stacked on top.
Anyone have any workaround ideas, besides creating each button individually in Flash and adding the text in the hover state?
I'm using CP6.
Thanks!

Hi there
Why use Flash just to create a button rollover? Captivate offers Image buttons where you specify up to three images used for rollovers. And with the Captivate button you could enable the Hint caption to provide the rollover you are seeking.

Buttons and jumping back to another slide

Hello,
I have a workflow page that has multiple buttons attached that will propel a user to the section in the tutorial that is more relevant to their learning requirements. However am trying to add buttons to take them back to a slide where they can then select another section. Is it not possible to jump back to a slide, as when I view the project it only takes you to the next slide even though the properties clearly state to jump to a previous slide?
I would greatly apreciate some help with this one?
Thankyou alison

Hi - I wish I had an answer for you to this as I'm experiencing the same problem. I just imported a CP4 project in to CP5. It has buttons to jump to other slides that also don't work. e.g. A "Back" button set to "Go to the previous slide"...and it doesn't. When clicked the project just continues on to the next slide. Also have a button that Jumps to a slide approx 4 slides back. Clicking that button does the same thing - the project just advances forward.
I have tried building a new CP5 blank project. 3 slides in total with Next and Back buttons on each slide set to do the appropriate moves. This actually does work just fine so at least it can work, but for the imported project..another story. Wondering whether this is a problem with importing a CP4 project?
I have tried publishing this project to a web server too - but same problem.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Flash Buttons and UI Components need double click to work. Any Solution?

Hi,
I have just finished making an application for Kiosk in Flash. However while testing I noticed that the buttons I used and UI components like textfield, textarea, radiobuttons, etc need to be touched twice to make them function. Can anyone tell why this happens and how to solve this issue? Its very frustrating for a user to keep clicking on the component to make it active first and then make it work.
Note: Is it like Flash UI components need time to get active on screen and then they function?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply ReshapeMedia.
What I want to say is I have a Flash exe file which contains feedback form for customers. This exe is displayed on Kiosk where user can interact with it using touch screen. The problem here is - when user touches (clicks) on the input field on screen or selects a radio button, it takes him several attempts to do so. In other words, user keeps on touching and tapping to activate the input field first and then somehow it gets activated and after multiple touches it allows them to enter the data/ radio button is selected and other buttons functions.
This obviously adds to users frustration.
This application is not loaded in IE so there is no browseer involved here.
You mentioned a script trigger a mouse click. What is that? (I have addEventListener on my buttons already) Kindly explain a bit. Thanks a lot.

Why can't I hit goback button and go back more than one page

Upgraded from 6.3 to firefox 8. When I use the back button I can't go back more than one page. I use to be able to go back as many pages as I wanted. Use win xp sp3 fully updated,1 gb memory pentium 4.

Thanks for your reply to my question. I use Noia for my theme and like the way the back and forward buttons are arranged. I found the solution for my problem in about:config>browser.sessionhistory.max_entries was set to 2. I changed it to 50 and problem solved. Thanks for your help.
