Help with creating highlighted buttons in DVDSP 3

OK, I'm going nuts. I set up a "template" in iDVD using the "Brushed Metal Two" form. It has "arrow buttons" that "highlight" when selected in whatever color I set. They're a shadowed grey metal, like the background, when not selected.
When I open this "template" in DVD Studio Pro 3.0, they arrows show up, but they lose their highlighting ability. I've tinkered with the settings in DVDSP, Button attributes, and have no even gone so far as to try designing my own buttons in Photoshop. Nothing is working. re: Photoshop, I don't know the program very well. Layers and all that is basically another language to me.
In the end, I don't understand why everything I do in iDVD gets imported into DVDSP EXCEPT for the highlight fuction for the buttons. The "button" shows up, but it loses the ability to be highlighted.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Need help with creating a brush

Hi guys,
I wanted to ask for help with creating a brush (even a link to a tutorial will be goon enough ).
I got this sample:
I've created a brush from it, and i'm trying to get this kind of result:
but it's only duplicates it and gives me this result:
Can someone help me please understand what i need to define in order to make the brush behave like a continues brush instead of duplicate it?
Thank you very much
shlomit

what you need to do is make a brush that looks like the tip of a brush. photoshop has several already but you can make your own that will be better.
get a paintbrush and paint a spot kind of like what you did but dont paint a stroke. make it look kindof grungy. then make your brush from that, making sure to desaturate it and everything.
EDIT:
oh, and if you bring the fill down to like 10-20% your stroke will look better

I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

Hello
I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't find it. I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard. Any other ideas?

I need help with creating some formulas

I'm not sure if anyone around here can help me, but I'm trying to create a Numbers document and need some help with creating a formula/function.
I have a column of amounts and I would like to create a formula which deducts a percentage (11.9%) and puts the result in another column.
If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an example that shows one way to do this:
The original data is in column A. In column B we will store formulas to adjust the amounts:
1) select the cell where you want to formula (in this case cell B2)
2) Type the "=" (equal sign):
3) click cell A2:
4) now type the rest of the formula which is: "*(100-11.9)/100" that is asterisk, then open parenthesis, 100 minus eleven point nine close parenthesis forward slash one hundred
The Asterisk is the multiply operator (times) and the forward slash is the division operator (divide)
now hit return. select cell B2 and hover the cursor over the bottom edge of the cell:
drag the little yellow dot down to "fill" the formula down as needed.

URGENT! Help with creating more than one linked button

Hi!
Could someone help a newbie with trying to figure out this.
I work in Flash CS3, AS3.
I've created a button that links to another webpage by using this code (the code is added to a separate layer):
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
steud.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.xx.html");
navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
It works just fine, but the problem is that I want to add more buttons (and links) to it, and thats where I get stuck. When I try just adding a new layer and adding the code there, everything stops working. I've also tried copy/pasting the code beneath the first one, with no results.
Does anyone know?
/J

I will try
I've modified this tutorial http://www.tutcity.com/view/create-a-sliding-content-with-back-and-forward-navigation.2394 7.html and the intent is to make a sliding menue that contains images of plants that link to the url of the plant. I've got buttons (with a mouse over effect that shows the name of the plant), and in AS2 I could use GetURL to link an invisible button to the URL, but to create the sliding effect, I had to use AS3. I've understood that GetURL doesn't work in AS3.
In scene 1 I have three layers; content, arrows and actions.
The actionscript looks like this:
// File downloaded from www.riacodes.com
import com.greensock.*;
var arrayX :Array = [0,-800,-1600,-2400,-3200,-4000,-4800];
var currentIndex : Number = 0;
left_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate);
right_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate);
left_mc.buttonMode = true;
right_mc.buttonMode = true;
checkArrows();
function navigate(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(e.currentTarget == left_mc) currentIndex --;
else currentIndex ++;
checkArrows();
TweenLite.to(content_mc,.5 ,{x:arrayX[currentIndex]});
function checkArrows():void{
if(currentIndex == 0) left_mc.visible = false;
else if (currentIndex == arrayX.length - 1) right_mc.visible = false;
else{
left_mc.visible = true;
right_mc.visible= true;
On the content layer I have the backgroundimages that slides as a movieclip.
If I doubleclick on the movieclip I have two layers, one with the bakground images and the invisible buttons, and one layer where I've put the script:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
JC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.blomsterbolaget.se/vaxtsidor/Dracaena_fragrans_JC.html");
navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
JC is the instance name of one of my buttons. So far everything works, but I want to add linking to another button, and I'm not sure how to do this correctly. When I've created the invisible buttons, I've drawn a square, converted it to a button, named it, and named the instance name. Changed the Alpha to 0. I've also added an On mouse over effect, but I don't think that has anything to do with this.
Hope you can help med!

Help with creating slices for round-shaped buttons

I've created this website - http://www.applebybowers.com/minima_web/ but am struggling with the menu bar.
As you can see, the rollovers do not work properly. I can't figure out how to slice/create the buttons so that the entire button changes colour. I've used rectangular slices and thats why the buttons appear to 'cut off'.
The only way around it (that I can see) is to not have an 'over while down' state but I always think its important to let a user know which page they're on.
Can anyone help?

Highlight Buttons in DVDSP

I create a button and select a highlight color for it, but when the DVD burns I cannot see which button I am selecting when played in my DVD player. Pleae help!

OK - let's go through it a step at a time...
You have created a button by dragging out a rectangle in the menu editor. Click on the button once and look in the property inspector under the 'Style' tab. In the middle, look for the Shape drop down and navigate through to whatever shape you want to use. For simplicity, select something like 'L shape highlight', which will create an underline and left hand upstand for whatever is on the background image.
Now click on the 'colours' tab and select 'simple' at the top. You should then see three sliders, one for 'Normal' one for 'Selected' and one for 'Activated' button states.
Leave the 'Normal' one set to 0 opacity (regardless of the colour in the box). This means that nothing will show up at all when the button is not selected or activated - so just whatever is on the background at that point will show through.
Move the 'Selected' slider to full opacity (15) and set the colour to what you want. It defaults to yellow, and I like to change that to red, personally. With this in place the button will then get a red underline when it is selected in your DVD player. You can check this by using the middle of the three buttons underneath the menu editor window that allow you to show the different button states... make sure that you haev a button clicked on in the editor first (i.e. has drag handles around it).
Now change the colour in the 'Activated' slider to be yellow, and set the opacity to 15 as well. This will make the button highlight change colour momentarily when a user activates it. If the selected colour is red, using something diferent (like yellow) allows you to see that the button has indeed been activated. Use the three buttons under the menu editor now and switch between the different states - you should see the highlight appear and change colour.
Now, repeat the process for every button that you have got on the menu, then go into the 'settings' drop down box and click on the text that reads 'Auto Assign Buttons now' (if it isn't already assigning the navigation). If you click on a button and then go into the 'Advanced' tab of the property inspector you should see which button the user will go to if they press a directional arrow on their remote control.
Finally, click on the background, away from any shapes, buttons or drop zones, or click on the menu icon in the outline view, then check the property inspector again - it should now show the options for the menu. Click on the 'Menu' tab and check the setting for the default button. It should say button 1 (if you didn't name the buttons as you went along), or whatever the name is of the first button that you created. This button will be the one highlighted in the 'selected' state when the menu plays.
That should be it.
If you do decide to create an overlay layer, all you do is create the background image in Photoshop (or whatever) and save it as a .pict file (don't use JPEG). You then add a layer and on that draw only the highlight shapes that you want - in our example you would simply draw a few lines to appear under the text on the background layer.
Hide the background so that just the highlight lines are showing and then convert this to grayscale. Export that as a .pict image as well, then import both to DVDSP. Set one as the menu background, one as the overlay and then proceed as above but don't use a shape... draw out the rectangles around the button text and you should see the highlight shapes appear. Set the colours for the states as before.
Lastly, don't forget to assign the button targets no matter which method you choose!

Need help with creating template. Changes are not going through to index.html page

Hi all,
I have an issue with my template that I am creating and also a question about creating template Regions (Repeating and Editable).
Somehow my changes to my index.dwt are not changing my index.html page.
Also my other question is: For my top navigation bar and left navigation bar links, do I need to select and define each individual button or link as Repeating/Editable Region? or can I just select the whole navigation bar (the one on the top) etc...
Below are my steps for creating my template...I am kinda fairly new to using DW and this is my first attempt to making a template following the DW tutorial CD that came with DW CS3.
I appreciate any help with this...regards, Dano
-Open my index.html file
-File/save as template
-Save
-update links - yes
-Select Repeating and Editable Regions (I selected the whole top navigation bar and selected Repeating Region and Editable Region, same with the left side navigation links)
-File close all
-Open the index.dwt
-Save as and selected the index.html and chose to overide it..
When I make changes to my index.dwt it is not changing the index.html
I feel that I am missing some important steps here.....

Help with creating a layout.

I need help creating a layout for my program, but am having tons of problems. I just an't that good at creating this, and it's been driving me insane.
Here's the link to how I want it to look like. http://s94182144.onlinehome.us/randomstuff/layout.JPG
In panel 1... that will be a cartesian plain, so it will pretty much be empty until lines and stuff are drawn in there.
In panel 2, there will be two drop down menus and a couple of buttons
In panel 3, there will be a bunch of things, with two buttons on the bottom.... and this section has to be scrollable.
Any help with the basic layout will be helpful... I can put in the buttons myself. For reference, the whole programs size is 400x800.
Thanks,
sachit

Read this section from the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use Layout Managers. You can combine multiple Layout Managers to get the effect your want. By default the content pane uses the BorderLayout, so one approach might be:
JPanel center = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
center.add(panel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
center.add(panel2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
getContentPane().add(center, BorderLayout.CENTER);
getContentPane().add(panel3, BorderLayout.EAST);
It turn you would layout panel1, panel2 and panel3 with the appropriate layout manager. Panel2 could be something like:
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel( new BorderLayout() );
panel2.add(comboBox1, BorderLayout.WEST);
panel2.add(comboBox2, BorderLayout.EAST);
JPanel bottom = new JPanel();
bottom.add(button1);
buttom.add(button2);
panel.add(bottom, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

Help With Scrolling Menu / Button Rollovers

First thank you to anyone who can answer and help with this
question.
http://paragon.sortismarketing.com
- at this link I have created a site with a simple scrolling menu.
Now what I want to happen is when you rollOver the buttons on the
scrolling menu they get larger and then smaller again after you
roll off them.
I know how to do this with tweening in a non moving
environment, by making them a movie clip instead of button. But for
some reason when I did this in this case it screwed the menu all up
and made it go crazy. Is there a way to do this with action script
that isn't going to screw up the underlying code for the
scrolling?

You can use the below code also. As your mouse pointer goes
over the down, it will scroll down.
on(rollOver){
scrolltext.scroll -= 1;
