Global command to stop movies in menu buttons?

Is there any way to have iDVD NOT assign movies to the menu buttons in scene select? I always switch them off and set a still instead, mostly because of the overhead involved. However, it is a pain to have to do this for each menu button when there may be 20 or more, and I was wondering if it can be done globally? I have not yet seen any way so far.

The only way that I know to switch off the button movies globally is to deselect Motion from the View menu, or click on the blue walking figure below the screen.

Attempt to move main timeline from inside a movie clip breaks menu buttons.

I am attempting to have the main timeline move from a stopped position over a movie clip to frame 1, where my start menu is.
The code I'm using does move the timeline but in doing so it somehow breaks the 4 buttons I have in frame 1.
My code in the movie clip:
stop()
function replayMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop(1);
Menu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, replayMovie);
My code in frame 1 of the main timeline:
stop();
function bo(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(21)
SoundMixer.stopAll()
espesp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, bo);
function ho(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(31)
SoundMixer.stopAll()
espeng.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ho);
function yo(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(41)
SoundMixer.stopAll()
engesp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, yo);
function go(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(51)
SoundMixer.stopAll()
engeng.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go);
The error output when I use my Menu button at the end of the movie clip.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For the sake of space, I'll leave out all the package declarations and class declarations and just talk about the functions.
First, the Game class, it has two functions. The first one is the constructor function and it launches at the beginning of the game: First the Game function:
public function Game():void
//Game code goes here
}//Game
We want to listen for someone to click the mouse on the MenuPage, so lets create a new MenuPage and add a listener to the button contiained within it.
public function Game():void
menuPage = new MenuPage;
menuPage.startButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startGame);
addChild(menuPage);
}//Game
You will notice that before I declared a variable var menuPage:MenuPage, but that's all I did was declare it. I didn't really make a new instance of it, I just set aside space for it. In the first line within the Game function, I'm actually turning that variable into a new instance of a MenuPage.
We don't have a picture of this imaginary menuPage instance, but lets' assume that in our MenuPage MovieClip in the library, we created a SimpleButton called startButton. Here, I'm adding an EventListener that patiently waits for someone to click that button. Once we receive that event, Flash is told to call the startGame function.
As you get better at this, you'll get into custom events, and the eventListener for the button will exist in the MenuPage class file, or even in another class file that you create just for the button. Something like StartButton.as But for now, we can do it as above.
Now the startGame function:
public function startGame(evt:MouseEvent):void
//Remove the start Page
//Add the zombie
//Add the gun
}//startGame
And we'll replace those comments with real code. It follows along with what we just did above.
public function startGame(evt:MouseEvent):void
zombie = new Zombie;
addChild(zombie);
gun = new Gun;
addChild(gun);
And we also want to clean up some by removing the menuPage, and throwing out the eventListener.
public function startGame(evt:MouseEvent):void
zombie = new Zombie;
addChild(zombie);
gun = new Gun;
addChild(gun);
menuPage.startButton.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.Click,startGame);
removeChild(menuPage);
}//startGame
Now our Game class is complete.
The Zombie Class
public function zombieWalk(evt:Event):void
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,zombieWalk);
this.x = this.x + 10;
}//zombieWalk
Notice we've added a function to the Zombie Class.
The first function adds an EventListener to the zombie. We can use the word this and actionScript knows we're talking about the zombie that the class is written for. This listener fires off every frame. If our FLA file is set to 12fps, then 12 times every second it will call on the zombieWalk function.
The zombie walk function moves the zombie 10 pixels to the right every time the function is called.
On a more advanced level, you'll want to add animation in the MovieClip to move the zombie legs. You'll also want to use Timer events to space out how often the funtion fires and not ENTER_FRAME events. And you'll want to use a static constant to establish how far the zombie moves. We have it now set to 10 pixels, but that can get irritating if we want to change that value later. But again, baby steps.
And finally, the Gun class
public function Gun():void
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fireGun);
}//function
public function fireGun(evt:MouseEvent):void
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}//fireGun
First we add an EventListener for when someone clicks on the gun. Once this happens, the listener calls on the fireGun function.
The fireGun function takes advantage of the frames within the Gun MovieClip. Say we have three frames in the Gun MovieClip. The first is just a picture of the gun. The second is the gun with a flash coming out of the nozzle. And the third is the gun at rest again. The line this.gotoAndPlay(2) sends the gun to the second frame with the flash graphic.
For this to work, each frame in the Gun MovieClip has to have some stop and play commands.
But.. you said no code on our timeline!! Liar!
I know. This is the exception. You will need basic stop() commands and gotoAndPlay commands to loop animations. Any MovieClip that has more than one frame will need something to control it.
So our Gun MovieCLip has the following:
Frame 1: stop();
Frame 2: no actionScript... and I mean nothing, not even the words, "no actionScript"
Frame 3: gotoAndStop(1);
This will loop the gun to the beginning and wait for the next time the user clicks the gun.
Advanced features of the Gun class might include a Bullet.as sub-class that creates a bullet MovieClip to fly across the screen. Sound to play when the shooting takes place. Object collision detection to see if the bullet hits the target. And a means by which a custom event will tell the Game.as class that a zombie has been hit and it should be removed from the stage.
As you go down the rabbit hole of ActionScript 3, you will find yourself at a point where it's just a matter of getting the syntax right for all the built in functions and classes. Arrays, Loaders, casting variable types.. all that stuff will come.
I hope this has been helfpul. It's been on my to-do list for a long time. When I first started out, no one could provide me with basic answers for how all these classes and whatnot worked. After teaching myself AS3 for 2 years and reading a gabillion books, I think I've gotten to a point where I'm pretty comfortable with it all.

Animation keeps running through. I want it to stop on main menu so i can click buttons

animation keeps running through. I want it to stop on main menu so i can click buttons which navigate to different scenes. Please help I am a noob.
here are screen shots of what i have going on:
Main time line "home" menu
script in frame 1
script in frame 48
scene 2 animation of shape tween which isnt supposed to run all the way through past the home page. I want it to animate but only after i click the button to do so.
script for this scene
scene 3 which is causing all the issues i think? supposed to be able to drag boxes. but it just runs through without stopping when i play it.
here is the compiler errors:

If you removed the stop() from scene 2 it will not stop there it will return to wherever "home" is.
If you intend to have the timeline stop at some frame, then you need to place a stop() command in that frame, or use a gotoAndStop() command.
If you are going to use scenes be consistent with the way you write the goto commands. The use of is rarely recommended - instead, use different sections of the timeline of just one scene, or use movieclips and control their visibility, or a combination of both.
If you continue to have issues, try simplifying first - build/add the navigation for one section at a time instead of trying to get it all in one shot.

Command is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device

Hi Everyone,
I have developed a midlet in which I have designed buttons or links using Custom Items. Command associated with the custom item is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device 8300 Curve.
For example - My login screen have SUBMIT and RESET custom items. I have designed them to be appear like links [no matter how I design them]. I have also added a command and listener to it like as below:
CMD_SUBMIT = new Command(text, Command.ITEM, 1);
setDefaultCommand(CMD_SUBMIT);
setItemCommandListener(this);
On running the midlet, my login screen appears. But when I travarse to the SUBMIT item, and press the menu button, my command doesnt appear in the list of commands. It shows only the Close command. I am not getting why this is happening.
Please do me a favour and help me to sort out this. On other phones like 8520 curve the command is appearing in to the list when I press the menu button.
Regards

Is there any way to sort out this issue? I am not getting the cause
behind this, and I am observing this only on 8300 Curve. On most of
there phones [though not tested on every one] it is working as expected.
Please guide me to proceed further. I am desperately waiting for the
response. Regards.

I have Apple TV version 7.4.2. We read in a blog that in order to reset our Apple TV we should press the menu button and the select big button at the same time which we did. Now when we attempt to turn on the apple tv box it with the remote we get a white light and sometimes we can get the menu screen but the remote will not let us move now will it allow us to turn the apple tv on or off. If we just leave it alone, the white light eventually goes away. I did unplug the apple tv and we removed the batteries and reinstalled them from the remote and that did not make any difference. Please advise.

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

rented a movie on itv. It started downloading. I accidentally hit the menu button and it threw me out of download. I went back and tried to download again. I got a message that I had already downloaded it and go to "settings" and on "iTunes download". The wheel is still spinning after several hours. How do I get the movie?

Ok problem solved; signing out of iTunes account and signing back in solved it.

On Windows 8, some widgets, such as the menu button near the upper right, stop working after some time, and functionality is restored by rebooting the PC.

I use the latest releases of Firefox as they become available on a Windows 8 PC. Firefox works properly, usually for a few hours, before annoying problems manifest. The problem I'm addressing here is some widgets, including some Firefox widgets and isolated widgets (such as buttons and pull-down selectors) in some websites stop working. In Firefox, the Menu button (the three stacked dashes icon) stops working. And the Download arrow sometimes stops working also. Sometimes, sub-items such as Print stop working. For some pull-downs, the up and down arrow keys might still work even though I might now be able to select with the mouse. Closing and reopening Firefox usually restores some functionality. However, I usually have to reboot the PC to restore all functions which stopped working. Then I am good for usually a few hours again. Another annoyance, which others have addressed, is the eventual appearance of Chinese-looking characters on the tab labels bar across the top. Restarting Firefox gets rid of these for the time being. Thanks for investigating.

hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
the oriental characters are a displaying flaw caused by the mcafee site advisor extension - please try to disable or remove that in case you have it present until there is an update by mcafee that can fix the problem.

Clickwheel/Menu buttons stopped working + ASP/Warranty question

Today, my year old 2nd gen nano's clickwheel and menu button stopped working. The hold button works, Itunes sees the thing, disconnecting the headphones does what it supposed to do and everything appears to be in order, except for the buttons. Neither resetting, nor restoring the software did resolve the issue and I am left with a small, elegant, brushed aluminium finished brick with music in it.
Luckily, an Apple ASP isn't particulary far from where I live and I could and probably should bring it there. However, I am currently in a country that is not the one I bought the Ipod in and my purchase receipt and anything else that might have came with it is some 3000 km away.
Does anyone know if bringing just the player to an ASP (it does have a serial number) has any remote chance of getting a warranty repair? And, if not, is it worth it even bothering with the repair, in terms of cost?

Menu Button from sub menu to main menu (transition movie in the way.)

In the general tab of the disc menu I set the menu button to go to the main menu.
When I click "menu" on my remote in simulation from a sub menu I expect it to return me to the the main menu.
However, clicking menu from a sub menu automatically brings me up one connection.
I have transition movies that are between the main menu and the sub menu.
So effectively, the menu button is a loop if a viewer tries to navigate upward with the menu button from a sub menu. They see the transitional movie and return to the sub menu they were trying to navigate from.
On page 609 of the manual it says...
Menu: Supported by all elements that can set remote control settings (disc, track, story, marker, and slideshow) except menus. You should generally link this button to the last menu viewed.
Is there a work around that will allow me to make the menu button link from a sub menu to the main menu, even if I have a transition movie in between?
Thanks,
Tom

Hang on Tom - are you saying that you are in a sub menu, pressing the 'menu' button on your remote control, seeing the transition and ending back at the menu you started from?
I would expect this if you used the menu button...
What happens is the menu button acts as a resume function if you are in a menu. That is, it will play the last piece of footage - your transition. This is set to go back to the sub menu, so that's where you end up. Read those details again... the bit where it said 'except menus'.
If you are in a menu and want to go up one level then you need to either use the Title button (if the title menu is the one you want to get to), or the return button (which won't work all that well). The best way, however, is to add a button on your menu screen which lets the viewer click it to go to the menu that you want.

Why has the menu button on my nano stopped working? can it be fixed?

For reasons that I can not explain, on trying to turn it on this morning it started to work. said conect to power, so its charging now. hopefuly this is a good sign that it can be fixed by resetting on the computer.
thanks

Press the Menu button after stopping the video does not go back to Menu

Hello,
Small problem on a DVD burnt with DVD Studio Pro: when a track is playing, pressing the Menu button gets the user back to the Menu (good); but if the user has pressed Stop first, DVDplayer refuses to go back to the menu and says "unauthorized".
Is there a setting somewhere in DVD Studio Pro to correct this before I burn other DVDs of my project?
thank you

On one Studio DVD after pushing stop I was able to get to the menu by pushing the menu button.
There are no authoring options in DSP to accomplish this.
Replicated disks play nicer with most players than DVD-R. It could be related to the type of -R media. Most studio releases are created in Senaris and many studios make authors sign a contract that says they will not use DSP to create studio released DVDs.

HT1657 I rented a movie and accidentally hit the menu button and now I can figure out how to go back and watch it . When I try to press rent again it says you have already downloaded this movie go to settings and check for downloads but I can find it.

I rented a movie and accidentally hit the menu button and now I can figure out how to go back and watch it . When I try to press rent again it says you have already downloaded this movie go to settings and check for downloads but I can find it download in settings.

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

Movie Clips as buttons – ignoring my stop actions and event listeners

Ok, so I think I am hear with the proper linked files to show you guys! Pretty much learning everything, so forgive my ignorance thus far!
Anyway, I am just trying to figure out movie clips as buttons, and have been following along on Lynda.com – however, I seem to be doing these things right, but when i test my movie, the button just loops regardless of rollovers or stop actions.
You can check this address www.midnyc.com to see the failed anim, and you should be able to import it as well. Here is my coding:
function rollover (e:EVENT){
myBtn.gotoAndPlay ("in");
myBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rollover);
function rollout (e:EVENT){
myBtn.gotoAndPlay ("out");
myBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rollout);
thank you in advance for your help. And to KGLAD, thanks for recommending how to post a bit better! Since I never had links etc... sorry about that.

Do you get any kind of error messages? Normally if there's a coding error, movieclips and other things go haywire.
For you event handler functions, try specifying the event that matches the listener event...
function rollout (e:MouseEvent){
I think "EVENT" would be wrong anyways... "Event" would be correct

The home/menu button has stopped working on my E52...

The home/menu button has stopped working on my E52. Is there a way I can retreive the info on my phone and put it on the memory card or a pc?

Hi EmmaBarham,
Welcome to Nokia Discussions.
Please connect your phone to Nokia Suite, once connected you'll be able to sync your phone's data to your PC.
When you're done syncing the data, I would also advice making a back up via Tools>Back up. This way you can get your phone repaired and simply restore it back onto the phone via Tools > Restore in Nokia Suite once the phone has been fixed.
You can find your nearest Nokia Care Point here. Let me know how you get on!
