Flickering issue with interactive buttons

Hi all,
I have an interactive pdf file that is 40 pages long. I have some navigation buttons on each page, which are white triangluar shaped arrows, and they contain black rollover and click states.
I am finding however that the buttons states (rollover) seem to flicker randomly on and off when the cursor is hovered over the button. It looks very buggy. It's simply meant to turn black, and stay black when the cursor is on the button.
Has anyone experienced this and know of a way that I can solve this flickering issue? It's driving me totally crazy and is the last remaining issue preventing me from finishing this project and being able to distribute the file.
I know I can just disable thje rollovers, however we need them for usability purposes.
Any feedback or guidance is appreciated.
Thanks,
G

Hi Glyphism,
I agree Bob's responses seem unnecessarily hostile. This is a huge problem! I just purchases CD 5.5 design premium, paid @ $700.00 for the upgrade and all of the buttons and interactives in a 4-month long project were operating just fine. When I ran the Acrobat update and tried to do my latest test, all of the buttons are flickering, and I cannot adequately test my 48 page interactive pdf! I have spent months on this project, it is now due on tuesday (Oct 4th), and at the eleventh hour, I am stuck with buggy product UPDATE of all things. Why? this is absolutely unconscionable for Adobe to let a bug like this go through. I am pulling my hair out. Wish I could UN update. Steve, you seem to be very helpful on this community - any ideas? HELP!

  • Problem with Interactive Buttons

    Hi all,
    I seem to be having trouble with Interactive Buttons.
    InDesign CS5 - Version 7.0.3
    I create a document with 2 pages (Facing Pages is checked).
    I add a text box to each page, Page one's text box says "1" and page two's says "2".
    Page two's text box I right click and select Interactive | New Hyperlink Destination - Type: Page, Page: 2, Zoom Setting: Fixed
    On Page one I add a sample button from the buttons panel.
    I select the button and then display the buttons panel.
    I remove the default "Go To URL" action and add an action of "Go To Destination" using the Event of "On Release"
    When I preview the page from the "Preview" panel, I click "Play" and can see the first page and the button (great), but when I click the button, nothing happens.
    The mouse changes as I mouse over the button, the state of the button changes to the rollover state... all seems well but it doesn't actually perform the action of going to the next page.
    I have tried exporting to PDF and making sure that "Include Bookmarks" and "References" is checked as well as making sure that "Create Tagged PDF" is checked but the exported pdf doesn't run the action either!
    What am I doing wrong? It seemed so easy when I looked at some video tutorials on how to do it.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Andy

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for the fast response.
    I fixed the issue with the preview window (saw a previous post).
    However the Export options I have are:
    Adobe PDF Presets...
      Define
      High Quality Print
      PDF/X-1a:2001
    PDF/X- 3:2002
    PDF/X- 4:2008
      Press Quality
      Smallest File Size
    Export...
    Export For....
      Buzzword (greyed out)
      Dreamweaver
      EPUB...
    If I choose Export... I cannot see an option for exporting to PDF (Interactive) no matter which options or types of PDF I select.
    However, my PDF opens in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - is that the issue? Even if I open it in Adobe Reader 9.3 it doesn't work.

  • HT204291 Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing

    Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing from the control menu as well as in Spotify.  It is as if airplay is not runing.  A temp fix: Reboot of the ipad mini (Home button+standby) Is there anything permanent?
    I have verified that my iPad mini and apple TV is up to date.
    Airplay enabled, the network is connected with internet.
    It is as if, airplay is a service that just stopped working and has to be restarted again via a reboot.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    The following article(s) may help you.

    Anyone have an issue withe airplay button not being available?

    Since the last pair of updates, my game camera won't pan around in any adventure level, leaving many sub levels off screen.  This is happening in all community adventure levels as well as my own on my moon.  Also can't seem to decorate my adventure levels without experiencing major glitches, especially with changing the materials.  The updates fixed a lot of stuff, but it seems like they trashed some things too.

  • Issues with rollover buttons in Indesign CS6

    Hi,  I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on a issue i'm currently having. 
    I've produced a interactive map in Indesign, with rollover buttons which triggers an animation - all the buttons and animations seem to be set up correctly and once I export as a SWF they seem to work fine initially, but after a couple of rollovers some of the buttons just stop working.  If I refresh the page or reopen the swf file it then starts working again for a period, but again after a few successful rollovers some stop working again.  I'm wondering if this is a bug of some sort?  Ive also tested the .swf on a different machine and I experience the same issue.
    Any help with this would be be much appreciated.

    We might be able to help you but you'll have to drop the attitude. We're not Adobe here, but users like you.
    You'll need to tell us exactly what you're doing and what's not working for you. By "rollovers," you could mean the change of appearance of a button. You could also be meaning what are sometimes called Show/Hide buttons where clicking a button causes another button to appear. Which is it?
    And what kind of output are you attempting? Interactive PDF? SWF (Flash)? DPS?

  • Flickering Issue with RGB Curves in Adobe Premiere CC (2014) version

    I've been an Adobe Premiere user since Premiere 6.5 and have never encountered any serious issues with the software. However in this most recent Creative Cloud update I am have a flickering issue when using RGB Curves, the color correction effect I use most often. When the effect is applied, there seems to be a shift in the shadows between a "crushed" black and a "flat, or faded" black every other frame. I've been using this latest update for about a week and haven't had any other issues aside from this one.
    Unfortunately this is huge issue at the moment due to a deadline I am facing in which RGB Curves has been used as the primary color correction tool on the entire project (multiple episodes). I would simply revert to a previous version of CC but I know that the new updates are never backwards compatible. Since the project has been saved in the CC (2014) update, reverting to previous software versions would be impossible. I am currently exploring exporting the XML from the CC (2014) projects and importing it into a previous version of the software.
    Please let me know if anyone out there is experiencing any similar issues or if there are any suggestions on how to solve this issue. Thanks!

    I am experiencing flickering issues as well. However my issues are with the Fast Color Corrector and the Three Way Color Corrector. It seems as if the color correction tools are causing intermittent flickering on some people's systems.
    Additionally when I converted some old PPCC 7.2.2 projects which had the Three Way Color Corrector applied, some clips in sequences would come up as a green screen in the program monitor. If I turned the TWCC off the footage would display correctly in the program window. If I turn the TWCC back on it would display the green screen again.
    I haven't found a solution to the flickering but to solve the green screen issue I have to remove the effect, then re apply it. I guess for whatever reason, the 2014 version of PP has issues with 7.2.2 projects where the TWCC was applied.
    I'm hoping Adobe will address this soon with an update for the various bugs that have been reported.

  • HELP!! Issue with mailto button in PDF

    Hi
    I have a button in a PDF form that attaches default email (LOTUS NOTES) when clicked. I have my settings in IE set to Lotus Notes as my default client and also in Lotus Notes I have the same settings.
    The form however does not work sometimes when the button is clicked, nothing happens. It works fine for me but doesn't on another computer with the same settings.

  • Firefox Issue With Back button

    I am having an issue with SpryHorizontal Menus in Firefox when using the back button.  Even did a tutorial with Lynda.com and found their solution file had the same issue.  Would anyone who has had success with 3 levels of submenus care to share a snippet of their code as I cannot find the error and outside help hasn't quite resolved the issue.

    Hi Beth,
    Just an FYI.  Also received another nice piece of information to store in the SpryAssets help file from an online Adobe Certified Course Director:
    Thanks for your email! It isn’t often I get a great question like that. I had to do some digging, but I came up with a solution. You might have already worked your way through it, but if not the problem is Firefox’s (and Opera’s) caching that’s causing the issue in question. To fix it, you have to reset the submenu dynamic class names when the user clicks the link (re-caching the page is a bad idea).
    This is a pretty simple javascript fix. The problem was so interesting that I posted the fix to my blog. You can check out the solution here: http://www.simpleprimate.com/?p=30 if you haven’t already figured it out.

  • PDF for Print with interactive buttons

    In ID CS4 when exporting a book to PDF, the buttons were automatically added when "interactive elements" were checked in the export dialog box. In ID CS5, the export book to PDF requires you to select the "for Print" or "Interactive". I want to create a single file that can be used for print and has some interactive elements included.
    When I select export for PDF "Interactive" the two page spreads (8.5 x 11) turn to one large spread (11 x 17). I don't want the large spreads, but I do want the interactive buttons (return to last page viewed) I have at the bottom of the page.
    Is there a setting I am missing?
    This worked in CS4, why is it not letting me do the same thing in CS5??
    Thanks for your help!

  • Is any one else have issues with interactive PDF output from InDesign CC (2014)

    I am currently trying to produce a document with a level of interactivity I have achieved many times before.
    The interactivity is just a web style menu, show/hide the menu shows button set one, clicking on those shows a second set of buttons, and clicking in one of those goes to destination page and hides all menu buttons once more.
    When output from ID CC 2014 the result is loads of missing buttons and no working menu.
    Its not a corrupt ID file. I tried a brand new empty file, recreated basic structure with simple one state buttons and achieved similarly useless results.
    If I back save using IDML and open in CS5, export from there, it works beautifully, so problem is not as many have been recently, to do with Acrobat browsers.
    If I back save and open in InDesign CC (not 2014), export from there, it doesn't work, so problem is shared there!
    Anybody any suggestions? Experienced similar and found a cure?
    SOLVED BY A COLLEAGUE:
    You can (no longer) use full stops/decimal points in button naming. Menu was hierarchically labelled as 1, (1.1, 1.2), (1.1.1, 1.1.2) etc.
    Renamed 1_1, 1_1_2 etc and all functionality has returned. Why you could and now you can't, who knows!
    Hope this helps you if you stumble across here with the same issue.

    Thank you for reporting this.
    I would consider this a bug in InDesign CC v9.x and v10.x and would report it:

  • Issue with Interaction Account in Interaction center

    Hi All,
    I am working in Interaction center:
    Current Scenario: If an Agent interacts with more than one account on the same call, the service request is always attached to the first account interacted with. This issue seems to be because the Agent cannot press the 'End' button to close the first account interacted with as this would cut the customer off.
    This issue occurs if during a call a CSR interacts with an account, realizes it is not the correct account, presses the red X cancel button (because they cannot use End), locates the correct account and makes the requested changes in the correct account. When the Service Request is created, it will attach to the first account which is not the account the changes were made in.
    Requirement: Now requirement is to attach Service request to second account / Or the when user lock the second account then first account should be deleted/cleared so that it could not find the first account.
    can anyone please suggest where should I write the code and how can I read the first account to delete it. OR how can I attach the SR in the second a/c.?
    Regards

    Hi Arden,
    Thanks for reply. here I am showing the screen shot how it is considering the first account:
    This is the first a/c-1000008531 I taken. Now I cancelled this a/c by clicking on red(X) Icon.
    Again locking the second a/c - 1000008532 without pressing END button
    Now when I go to create Service request then it consider the First a/c - 1000008531
    here I am not pressing SAVE button so once Service Request is clicked from below option after confirming the second a/c then it should consider the second a/c only.
    Please let us know where should I write the code to overwrite the second a/c.?
    Regards

  • Issues with interactivity between component states and page states

    Hi there, I recently downloaded the trial of Catalyst 5.5 and am encountering the following problem:-
    I have many screens in my application and am attempting to get around the 20 state limit by creating custom components that contain multiple states that can be used as screens. So, I have created button links between the component states which work fine but have also created button links to and from the standard states of the application, which dont work upon running/publishing. I'm not quite sure whats wrong here as the button commands are pointing to the right place, i.e. they are pointing firstly to the specific custom component and then the state within the component, but its just not working.
    Is this a trial issue or something deeper?
    I really hope someone can help as apart from this issue I have been very happy with the application but if I can not find a solution theres no point in purchasing it.
    Cheers.

    Ive had the same problem. Im trying to create an interactive e-book but im having problmes with the limit of states. I have now worked out that i have to create custom components to create a sub-state but im finding it difficult to go between sub states. Help anyone?

  • Spry validation issue with submit button

    Hi,
    I'm new to Spry but am having an issue getting it to work at all.  I created a very simply form (i.e. table with Spry text field and submit button).  I've read many articles and been to several forums, but I can't seem to find the issue I'm having.  Basically, when I go to preview the page in a browser, the table with the Spy text field and submit button comes up fine, but when I hit the submit button, I see the page refresh and any values I had in the text field disappear, but nothing ever comes up saying "A value is required," which is what I'm looking for. This happens even if I don't have any values in the text field.  Below are images of what I'm describing and also the code.  I verified that the "Required" check box is checked in the SpryTextField and the submit button action is selected to "Submit Form."  My setup is Win 7, DW6, & XAMPP.  Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Before Submit Button pressed:
    Browser after button pressed: (same as above but no message saying "A value is required.")

    Do yourself a big favor and don't waste time with Spry Validation.  Most modern browsers support HTML5 forms with the required attribute. 
    If you must placate older browsers, use jQuery validate script.  It's lightweight and works when HTML5 support is missing.  You can see an example below. If you hit submit with empty form fields, the required fields pop-up with messages.  View source in browser to see the code.

  • Issue with Submit button

    Last October, I created a fillabe form via LiveCycle. I distributed the forms and they all worked initially on the receiver's end. The past couple of months, people have been informing me that the "submit" button has disappeared. Why would this happen? Even I have opened the form on my computer and the submit button is not there, even though it states in the purple bar at the top "to submit form by clicking submit".....Any ideas?

    Hi,
    this is the VBA code we are using.
    The below sheet is the report where user manually writes values and then another input form is attached to this report where the entered values get multiplied by 1000 and then this data gets sent to database.
    The values entered in the below report does not get submitted to database because, save button is grayed out. Only TIME dimension is active on this report to get the time period.
    SUBMIT button is created on the report tab and input schedule is hidden.
    Now the below screenshot is the migrated evdre input shedule where data from 1st report gets multiplied  by 1000 and then submitted to database.
    SUBMIT button is created on the report tab and input schedule is hidden.
    On the above lines, we have 2 more reports and 2 more input schedules in the same Input schedule. That is to say, we have 3 report sheets and 3 input sheets in 1 single report.
    SUBMIT button is configured on all the three report sheets and input schedule sheets are hidden.
    To reiterate the issue again, when we click on submit button the screen flickers and goes through all the reports and when data is submitted the screen appears to the same report from where submit button is clicked.
    Please let me know if you need more infromation.
    Regards,
    Ashwin.
