Help with trying to make a rollover button

I'm trying to make a roll over button using this tutorial
http://www.pegaweb.com/tutorials/rollover-buttons/rollover-buttons.htm
and it doesn't seem to do what the tutorial says it will do 2-3 steps in.
The part where it says...
Quote:
- In the Channels window, Ctrl+Click the "Alpha" layer, to select its outline.
- Go back to the Layers window, and create a new layer.
- Choose the Gradient Tool. (Remember that it might be hidden under the Paint Bucket Tool.) Apply a gradient from the bottom of the image to the top.
Mine does not create a gradient that looks like the image they have presented.
I just have the entire wood look, and then the outline of my button is just a little darker. I don't get the white background with the gradient applied to it in the button space.
Would someone mind following the steps at this link and letting me know if it is missing something? It only took me 2 minutes to get to this point before I couldn't figure out why it wasn't doing what it was supposed to.

When you create the button look in the upper left hand corner of the screen and see what type of object you are creating. Placing the mouse of the the three buttons will give you a tool tip of what they are.
The one you want is the one on the right as it will create a pixel based rectangle. Make sure you put this rectangle on its own layer, then you can move it or delete it if necessary. Lock the transparency7 button at the top of the layers panel. The will make sure when you create the gradient it will put it inside the button you made and not outside of it.
If you are seeing just a border I am thinking the middle button in the top tool bar is selected which creates a path. It is possible to fill that path and then create the gradient but you have to make sure that the lock transparency is not checked. Open the paths panel and at the bottom of the panel is a fill button. This creates a pixel based object which you can then create a transparency using the steps above.

I'm trying to make a "Submit" button for my existing UIPickerView. Help!

Hi there! I’ve been tearing my hair out and searching the web high and low for an answer to a question I have about UIPickerView. I was hoping that perhaps you could help me out!
I’m trying to make a “Submit” button for my existing UIPickerView.
I’ve coded a 3 column UIPickerView into my app, and it works great. However I’d like to add a “Submit” button and connect it to my pickerview, so that once a user makes their selections and clicks “Submit,” the app searches an existing array for the user’s selected values.
Any help would be appreciated! I hope I explained that okay, lol.
Thanks,
Brittany

Help with adding a hyperlink to a button?

We have a simple little site we built in Catalyst and everything works great. The only problem is that we cannot figure out how to add a hyperlink to one of the buttons in the animation. We simply want to be able to click on the button and go to another site (the client's Facebook page specifically). Can anyone provide some insight? Thanks!

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?

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!

Trying to Make a Previous Button

    This should be a simple fix. I'm trying to create a button that when clicked will send the viewer back 20 frames in the timeline. I had some help with this but when I got home and tried this out I get the error message 1137.
photography_mc.goPrev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goPrevImage);
    function goPrevImage(event:MouseEvent):void {
        var cf = photography_mc.currentFrame;
        cf -= 20
        if( cf > 0 ){
            photography_mc.play( cf );
    I'm not sure what to do from here. It says the error occurs at the line "photography_mc.play( cf );"
   Please help me out, thanks y'all!

play() is not the command to use... it doesn't accept arguments. You need to use gotoAndPlay(cf)

Help with wav file, stop and play buttons

Hey everyone,
I'm new to actionscript, and flash for that matter. I created
a new flash file, and a new layer. On that layer I put 2 buttons,
btnPlay and btnStop.
I found some code on this forum, and tried it, but it isn't
working. The code is below. I get no errors, but when I test the
movie, it doesn't play any music. I selected this layer, selected
frame 1, and put this code in the actions window.
mySound = new Sound();
btnPlay.onRelease = function () {
mySound.attachSound("adagio");
mySound.start(0);
btnStop.onRelease = function() {
mySound.stop("adagio");
I should also note, I have another layer with a movie clip on
it, and another layer with a picture on it.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Jesse

As another note--I right clicked on the wav file in my
library and selected linkage and export to first frame as well as
export for actionscript (and named the linkage "adagio"). Might
help with a solution.

HELP WITH TRYING TO DO A FIXED ASSETS REPORT IN DISCOVERER

Hi...
I'll try and explain this simply as I can.
I am trying to do a Disco report to basically list the asset numbers with the cost, the opening depreciation, the YTD depreciation, Accumulated depreciation and the remaining life of the asset.
I can get most of the data from the FABG_DEPRECIATIONS table.
The report will be run for a specific period say for example 05-2008. The problem I have is that for some of the assets there won't have been any depreciation for the year 2008 but I still need those assets to appear on the report showing the cost, opening depreciation etc.
But because the report is being run for a specific period say 05-2008 in this example these assets that have no depreciation for the period are not being displayed on the report.
As there isn't a field (I couldn't find one in any of the tables)that has the opening depreciation I have used a calculation for this which is Accumulated Depreciation - YTD depreciation. This is where my problem is. For those assets that have had no depreciation in the current year being reported on it should use the accumulated depreciation for say 12-2007 as the opening depreciation for the year 2008.
So in the example of reporting for period 05-2008, it show the opening depreciation which would be the accumulated depreciation for 12-2007 and 0 (zero) for YTD depreciation.
That is why I have attempted without success to use a union statement. The sql is below.
I would be very grateful for some help with this please.

Need to make cool rollover buttons

Hello all,
This is for a commercial website I'm working on and I hit a snag with.
Here's what I'm trying to do: On the site header, there are topics such as, "Apartments" and the like. What the client wants is to be able to have the viewer rollover the word, "Apartments" and have two options appear over the word. Something like, "One Bed Room" and "Two Bed Room". The visitor could then mouse up and click the option they want to see, navigating the site to that page. Oh, and they want the all the words to change color as well, like in a normal rollover link.
Any thoughts? I know how to make buttons that change when you rollover them, but getting text to appear and then to have two separate links to pick from has me stymied. Thanks!

Hmmm. That could work!
if you are into post editing, iweb (out the box) has no facilities to add HTML, CSS nor javascript directly onto the page. so most people post edit.
and if you think of html snippet widget, forget it because iweb html snippet widget only adds stuff to a markup page and shows it thru an iframe element...
you have to make a very big area for the snippet - if the drop down is very long; then you will have to get the links to open in the same window... on and on...
that said, you can build your own widgets (iweb3) to overcome the above problems only (if only) you know iweb, HTML, DOM, CSS and javascript... here is example built with my 3 widgets:

Help with trying to activate a nano sim

Hi. I bought an iPhone 5 from a work colleague and have now tried to have 3 different sims activated on the phone. All that shows is "No Service".
The phone is an unlocked one purchased direct from apple.
I have an additional contract that I took out for my wife which has the same sim type so I've put this sim into the phone that won't activate the sims and my phone accepts this and allows me to make calls so I think this rules out an issue with the iPhone I purchased.
I've spoken with numerous people from the network on the phone and also in their stores but they haven't been able to rectify the situation. They've changed my contract type to an iPhone contract, added the IMEI or whatever it is, had me doing hard resets, taking the sim out and I even wiped the phone and started again but nothing has worked.
I have now been close to 3 days without a phone - can someone please help?! :-(
Cheers

Help with trying to install OS X ? on 2007 MBP 15.4

I have a MBP Late 2007, 4gb memory, 500gb HD and I can't get any other OS to install except Snow Leopard.
I have tried many times and followed many recommendations from this discussion board but everything has failed.
What would stop/freeze the instillation. I have no more options. Could it be the logic board stopping the instillation?
Any new advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

SMART errors indicate that the hard drive is going to fail soon, so don't install anything, get an external drive and make a Time Machine backup > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 Then, take the iMac to an Apple Store to get the hard drive replaced.
All hard drives stopped working with the use, so you shouldn't be worried about this if you have got a backup

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?
