Help needed - want to skip to the menu screen, using any button!

hey there -
i'm creating a DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4 - when the DVD is inserted, the viewer is treated to a bunch of trailers and previews - it's set up with the "First Play" option. i have to do it this way, for the client.
obviously, i'd like the viewer to be able to skip that stuff and go straight to the main menu. after all, that would be a pain to go through, again and again, if one wanted to watch the DVD mulitple times.
i want to create the DVD in such a way where the viewer can hit ANY button to skip the initial previews and end up on the Main Menu screen. they should be able to hit the "chapter forward" button, the "menu" button, or any other button. in other words, this should be a very user friendly DVD, for those that want to skip over this stuff.
is this possible? how do i do it? do i need to make a script? it's bugging the heck out of me, and the deadline is coming up way too fast...
thanks!

i want the user to be able to hit the "next chapter" button, or, ideally, any button; to get to the main menu. again, this is during the 2-minute trailer ad that occurs before the menu.
Place a Chapter Marker at the end of the track and set that to have an action to jump to the menu. (Place it at the very end of the track, and also have the tracks end jump jump to the menu, actually to prevent certain players ffrom blowing through chapter markers, place two chapters at the end, the action for the next to last one jumps to the menu, and also DISABLE all actions at the Marker, then the same for the next one.) You can also make it a story witth Marker 1 & 2 and then set the jump to the menu.
The inspector on the track provides all the main buttons on a remote, but some (like subtitle or fast forward) may not do anything or just behavee like they normally behave with no way of overriding them.
If you set the ones you can in the inspector for the track and then also use the chapters described above, you hit most of the main buttons you can.

Also look at this thread

Where there is some discussion of some things that cannot be done, particularly relating to subtitle buttons (if Hal and Jake say certain things can't happen in DVD SP, you can be pretty much assured that it can't happen)

How to set a background image to fill the entire screen on any device in a spark mobile application

Hi,
I started developing a mobile application with Flex.
I'm trying to set a background image to fill the whole screen. I've been stucked at this point for days now. I tried everything and no solution seems to work for me.
I'm using a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication and i need to set some background images on views.
I need my image to fill the entire screen on any device. i don't need to mantain image aspect ratio, just need it to be fullscreen. This seemed to work when setting a custom skin on the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, however this blocked all my views for some reason and all components contained in view became invisible.
Can you please tell me how can i achieve this?
Kind regards,
Dan

Basically you need a larger image which can accommodate any device. The trick is to show only what each device can display, so therefore some clipping will occur based on device. Have something centered and towards margins have a gradient or just plane colors that way the stuff in the middle will be visible on every device while nobody will care if you are clipping from the color fill.

Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till you iPad starts on it's own. Now try and download an app.

My problem is recreating the align right effect while keeping
the menu fixed using flash AS2 mostly for re sizing as well as
different screen sizes.
While i can do one or the other but both is just not
happening.
I have tried all sorts of weird and wonderful things but as
yet, alas no easy/simple solution :(
I must admit it has been a long time since i have been here
but.. I thought if someone could have a quick look and maybe please
give me a few pointers ??
Anything at all would be better than what i have now ...
Thanks for your time

The link again is I forgot to add http to the link before, but it should have worked.
http://www.lipowiec.org/test/index.php
a) used Dreamweaver to create new site selected 1 column, elastic, centered, header, and footer
b) used spry to add horizontal menu to header
c) followed instructions from Spry Help

Under IE it's broken, under the other browsers it works.
There need to be more IE HACKS added.

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro 15" (mid-2014) will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?
By the way, I also updated my Macbook Pro 17" (mid-2009) and it seems to be running fine, though I haven't tried to restart it and log in. I'm afraid I won't be able to get this one to work either if I do.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
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. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Anyone Else Not Get New Message Indicator in the Messages Section of the Menu Screen?

I have been on the phone with Technical Support numerous times and they don't seem to have an answer to this question, so I thought I would see if anyone else has experienced this. And before anyone suggests this, technical support's answer has been to pull the plug on the box to reset it and this has not worked.
The issue is with the "Messages" portion of the "Menu" screen. I know Verizon does not offer a light on your STB to let you know you have a message. Instead, you are supposed to be able to go into the Menu screen and see the word "NEW" next to "Messages" along with the picture of an envelope to let you know you have a new message.
For whatever reason, I don't get either of these indicators. I never thought I had a message until I was at a friend's house and they went into their Menu and they had "NEW" next to their Messages along with the envelope indicator. I went home and saw that I had about five messages in my Messages box, some of which were very old.
While this is not a huge deal, it still bugs me that Verizon has no answer. I thought my STB may have an issue, but other than this, they work fine. (By the way, neither of my STB give me either indicator).
So I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue, and if so, how did you get it fixed? Did Verizon have to come out and do something, did Technical Support need to do something on their end, or did you need to get new STB? One time Technical Support tried to tell me that it may be an issue with Fios in my area, but that theory was shot down when I went to my friend's house. I have never gotten either indicator, and I have had Fios for almost one year.
I would appreciate any information you have. Thanks.
Solved!

Hi MiMeQu,
The indicator in the menu and the visual indicator on the front of the stb should both alert you of messages.
emphasis added in quote
It would be nice if the Verizon employees had the correct information when posting here. The indicator light hsa never been operational since I got TV service 3 1/2 years ago (as Matcarl said). The reason given by Verizon was "It confused too many users when the light came on and created excess calls to the FSC".
As for the envelope in the menu, mine used to work but also stopped working on my DVR (7216) about a month ago. To confuse matters my 2500s (2 of them) still show the envelope when there is a message.

Skip the selection screen using BDCTAB call transaction

Hi experts,
I am using BDCTAB for call transaction SWI1 I need to skip the selection screen. Can you please tell me how to skip the selection screen using BDC call transaction?
Thank you in advance.....

hi,
the first step is to pass some values to the selection screen, at least Date From and Date To; otherwise, it´ll take a long time. The second step is to emulate the Execute button, which is done with '/08'.
PERFORM fields USING 'BDC_OKCODE' '/08'.
Third step is to catch the programme and screen number.

HI everybody i want to ask if you come me in help, i want to draw paths but when i use stroke options with pen or brush settings i loose quality when i zoom in , can someone help me with pen settings???

HI everybody i want to ask if you come me in help, i want to draw paths but when i use stroke options with pen or brush settings i loose quality when i zoom in , can someone help me with pen settings???

The work path is a vector object, and infinitely scalable, but when you stroke it, Photoshop lays pixels on a layer that follow the path. These pixels are raster based and can not be scaled without loosing quality. You do have options. If you want to make the raster layer bigger, transform the work path and stroke it again. Or work at a higher resolution in the first place.
Incidentally, you can't stroke a Path with the Pen, because it is a Vector based tool, and stroking is a raster based function.

DVD: determining the menu screen

H
I have a DVD with multiple menu screens that I am displaying
to the user fullscreen in Director. I need to intercept user click
on one particular menu button/navigation to a particular sub-menu
screen.
In capturing DVD ebents, I don't seem to have any information
in the parameters that identifies the menu screen or button. Yes,
the data returned indicates the number of the button but I have no
idea on which menu screen this button number resides.
Anyone know how I can determine whether of not the user is on
a particular sub-menu?
I can't even use mouseloc logic to determine which button on
the menu has ben selected as there are buttons at the same screen
location on multiple screens.
Thanks
Peter

IDVD - dvd plays automatically without going to the menu screen

Hi,
I'm new to iDVD and burned my first project yesterday, after transfering it from iMovie.
A problem: I created chapter markers in iDVD, which when imported into iDVD appeared there. The home page let's you choose either to play the movie or select a scene. However, after burning the project to DVD and inserting it into a DVD player, it starts the movie automatically!
I would like it to go, by default, to the menu screen when inserting into a DVD player - so I can choose scenes. Any suggestions how I can get it to do that?
Thank you,
Mont

As you have rightfully pointed out above; I wouldn't assume iDvd'08 and iDvd'09 are identical versions. But they are very similar. There are more significant differences within separate iMovie versions, as well as iPhoto, GB, etc.
Have I tested the difference between iDvd'08 vs. iDvd'09? No, not yet. As soon as I do I'll make every attempt to post a few of the differences. At the moment, I'm looking into separate volumes / hard drive bootability differences between Tiger vs. Leopard on both an external FW HD as well as internal ATA and SATA hard drives. And it seems I have my work cut out for me in this regard for at least the next few weeks. As soon as I complete this latter issue I will come back to iDvd.
Under Tiger I didn't have to worry about making a clone (using CCC or SuperDuper) of my existing volume/s that contained iDvd and other i-apps. But apparently (at least at first glance) this is longer the case under Leopard.

After installing iOS7 to my iphone 4, I can no longer skip to the next song using BTA in my Honda Civic.

Says it all. I upgraded to IOS7 and now my iphone, which has always been able to skip to the next song using wireless bluetooth. I can't use it on my steering wheel or the controls above the heating/cooling/CD drive. Nothing. I have to unlock my iphone and manually change the song in the music app, no other way. I drive a 2013 Honda Civic... is there any solution to this? Everything was fine until today... I can still call people through my car, it's JUST the music part that is affected. Only the change/skip song functions. It's really bizarre.. any solutions?

I think the developer havent made it compatible with ios7 for iPhone. Goto App store and search for that App. you will have an option to contact developer or report an issue. Good Luck

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

Jayhawk
I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.
