Hidden multi state appearing

Hi.
Creating articles for folio using CS6. These articles contain multi states which are hidden until triggered.
When a page loads from the folio in Adobe Content Viewer, a multi state will appear whilst the page loads, then goes away. This is most annoying.
Can anybody help. Please.

> Thank you. Now, where do I put this code?
It can be used in several ways to tell the button to toggle -
as long as the
button sprite is drawn on stage, and have the multi-state
script is
attached.
Put in a framescript, like this:
(assuming that the button is in spritechannel 1)
on exitFrame me
sendsprite(1, #toggle, true)
end
or
Put in a script attached to the button sprite, like this:
property spriteNum
on beginSprite me
sendsprite(spriteNum, #toggle, true)
end
As a simple test:
- start the movie
- open the message-window (ctrl-m on windows..)
- write: sendsprite(1, #toggle, true), and press return
change 1 to the correct spritechannel, and toggle the button
on/off by using
true/false

  • ID 5.5 Interact. PDF, cannot remove white background for Multi-States and buttons.

    Hi
    I am working on an Interactive PDF Portfolio document. The problem I have is with Multi-State object feature with several buttons going to states that need to be exported as a SWF and imported back into InDesign 5.5. See, the background of my entire doc. is GREY, but when I import the SWF (as directed in Lynda.com videos correctly) and export the entire doc as Interactive PDF and view it in Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 10.1.1) is when all the trouble starts.
    When I try to get rid of the WHITE background around the Multi-State objects and the buttons for them (using Select Object Tool and then control+click on it to change the Properties to Transparent Background Appearance) it does not change, even when I go forward and backward to the page.
    Does the option of removing white background and making it transparent work only for Animation, but not Multi-State feature with buttons?
    Can anyone suggest any other tecnique to create a nice slide show that works in Interactive PDF in ID CS5.5? Please..
    Sincerely,
    in need of help,
    Eve

    I have 8 Multi-State objects in one stack on the left and the 8 buttons for each state in the stack on the right. The background of my document is dark grey. There is space inbetween Multi-State objects and the buttons that show the grey background. But after exporting as SWF the Multi-States together with the buttons and placing the SWF back in the PDF file, the space inbetween Multi-States and buttons that is supposed to show the grey background appears white. The problem is that I cannot even change this white background to transparent in Acrobat Pro, as well. I used to do that to animations and it worked, but not in this case.

  • My multi-state object disappear's when I export to PDF but works in Preview mode?

    I created a multi-state object which is a series of logos that appear when a button is clicked. There are two buttons one is set to go the the previous state and one is set to go to the next state. When I view it in the preview mode it works fine but when I export it to PDF nothing happens when I click the buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Multi-state objects are NOT supported in PDF. The PDF standard preceded the development of multi-state objects. It's now under the control of the ISO so may be slow to adapt.
    They work when exporting to SWF or with the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.

  • Multiple multi state objects

    Hello all,
    I want to export the multiple Multi state objects from Indesign.
    var mso_total_count = MSO.states.length - app.documents[0].multiStateObjects.length;
         for (var i = 1; i <= mso_total_count; i++)   
                var imageName = imgName_mso+".png";
                imageSavePath = File( "~/Desktop/omnion_mw/"+nav_Project_Name+"/images/"+ imageName); 
                MSO.states[i].pageItems[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.PNG_FORMAT, imageSavePath);
                var add_event = MSO.states[i].pageItems[0].addEventListener;
    By using this i am getting images of only one multi state object. If i have multiple multi state objects are there like Muti-state 1, Multi-stste 2 etc it doesnt work.
    Can anyone help me on this.

    @piggychops – I'm not  exactly sure, but by that code you only cycle through the states of the MSOs.
    You never change its visible appearance on the page, because the active state of the MSO is always the same state.
    So you'll end up with always the same contents that is exported to PNG (do you get that result?).
    To get all states active, set the states in the loop (one after another) to the active one and then export to PNG.
    MSO.states[i].active = true;
    But before, store the current active state, so that you can return to the original appearance…
    Something slightly different, but the code may help you (all comments are in German, but that should be no problem):

  • Multi state object slide show not working in EPub3 (iBooks, Google Books, etc.)

    In my various searches online with tutorials, etc. it appears that InDesign CC supports creating image slideshows that then export into ePub 3.0 where they can be viewed and interacted-with on mobile devices.  An example of this type of guidance is this:  InDesign CS 5.5 Publishing ePUBs to the iBook with Video - YouTube
    Anyway, I have followed what I think are all of the guidance steps to create a multi-state object for a series of images and then go into folio overlays and convert them to a slideshow that can be interacted with.  When I preview they all work just fine but when I then export as ePub3.0 they are static images with each image overlayed on top of the other. 
    I have tried calling Adobe Technical support and they are saying that InDesign CC does not support this type of EPub export, but again all of the online tutorials, etc. indicate that it does.  I am very confused and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. 
    When I export my book to ePub, the images and captions appear to export as raster images together so I'm thinking it's something to do with the object export functions, but beyond that I don't know how to fix this issue. 
    I would definitely appreciate any help anyone can offer on this matter.  Thank you very much in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Mason

    I'm sorry...  You're right...  The link I provided was not the right one...  This is the right one: InDesign CS 5.5 Digital Publishing Suite to iPad, Android and Blackberry - YouTube
    The time on the video would be around 2:45. 
    This is another example (the whole video) Digital Publishing With InDesign CC: Slideshows - YouTube
    My ignorance may be showing here because I'm starting to realize that ePub and Digital Publishing Suite may well be two different things...  But I am still confused on how the resulting digital book is distributed to consumers if it's not made available through Google Play, iBooks, etc. 
    My colleague and I have been trying to make this work for some time following several tutorials to no avail.  But it may well be that we were barking up the wrong tree to begin with.
    Thank you for responding.

  • Is there a way to create a multi-state button or have a pict ring behave like boolean?

    Does someone know of a way to make a multi-state button say (function one, function two,function three, off) or implement boolean-like behavior for a pict ring? I want to be able to cycle through the states without a menu popping up for all possible values. So when I press this button or ring it will go from state-1, to state-2, to state-3 etc.

    Place a transparent button over a ring. On button value change events,
    or via polling, increment the ring indicator. Better yet, put the value
    in a shift register that gets incremented and displayed in the ring
    indicator.

  • Is there a maximum number of "multi state objects" per article? Indesign keeps crashing

    Hi, i have 12 multi state objects on a page, and indesign keeps crashing.
    i know this seems like a high number, but I have done this to create a work around - ticker (like an old style airport board e.g. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=airport+board&espv=2&biw=1306&bih=653&source=lnms&tbm=is ch&sa=X&ei=TkYUVb3ZJIb0PJ7DgZg… each set of 3 creating one graphic e.g. 3.35
    After creating these Indesign keeps crashing when i try to preview?
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    It sounds like you're running in to a memory problem: Memory Handling in DPS
    That said, usually multiple MSOs on the page don't usually cause memory problems because only the first state of the MSO is loaded into memory. If the first state of each MSO is loading a web overlay displaying ticker information, then that's the most likely culprit. Consider redesigning the page so that only a few tickers are loaded into memory and the user needs to tap to reveal additional tickers.

  • Can I assign the text in a multi-state object?

    I want to assign InCopy files to the captions that are part of a slideshow, but I can't seem to create assignments for the text boxes that are in a multi-state object. Is this possible?

    Currently there is no capability to add text frames withing an MSO to an InCopy assignment. There is limited support for this edit workflow when using solutions such as WoodWing or K4.

  • Image buttons in multi-state-object

    Hello,
    I created 3 articles in Indesign for the iPad. The 3 articles come in a liquid format (landscape and portrait) and are all quite picture heavy. Nevertheless, I am very surprised of the folio file size, it's over 500 MB big.
    The biggest Indesign file of these 3 articles has 115 MB as there are many statuses (multi-state-objects) (please see screenshots attached). I checked these resources out: Digital Publishing Suite Help | Best practices for creating overlays and Structuring Files for DPS
    According to these resources, the images in my 9 big circles should be resampled when I export the folio in PDF format. So by theory the image sizes cannot be the problem here. But what else can be the problem? I can't think of any other issues.
    What can I do to reduce the folio size. Please help!

    I don't have any web overlays, no. Just normal URL links (In-App-Browser opens). I have 1 video file embedded (nearly 400 MB), so I am well aware of that. But 150 MB for the rest when it's only 3 articles (despite having 2 formats) seems a bit too much to me. I did add the articles to the folio once at a time, yes. And it is the article with the many buttons and MSOs (as seen in the screenshots above) that is so big. This is also the article with the video in it, but still. I have the feeling buttons or the images in the buttons are making the folio so big. I often do app magazines with approx. 15 articles and 3-4 videos embedded (200-300 MB per video!) and that is normally 650 MB or so. So comparing that with my 3 articles makes me wonder.
    Do MSOs and buttons make a folio big, is that possible? Or is it the images in the 9 big buttons not being resampled correctly (even though the documentation - 2 links in my original post - say something else). When I export the article, I always export it as PDF and when looking at the loading bar, it says "saving as PNG". So that should mean that all my buttons are resampled, I don't have to worry about image file size and it's exported as PNG in the PDF. Hm...

  • Multi-state scrollable text frames

    I've created a multi-state object with 5 different articles the problem I seem to be having is after scrolling half way down on one and switching to another it remains half way down the scrollable frame. Is there a way to have it return to the top of each state when switching between the states ?

    Sorry for the misplacement,
    I'm making a portfolio and have 5 separate projects to display, I was hoping to display them on one page with 5 separate buttons allowing the viewer to switch between them seamlessly than to have them on 5 separate pages.
    I've got the desired effect thus far using 5 scrollable text frames combined into one multi-state object but switching between states keeps it relative to where the person was in the last state. Due to some articles being smaller vertically than others this can be a problem as it shows up blank which will probably create an impression of the information being non existent or the program not working.
    I would appreciate any help on resetting the state to the upper left between changes and not just on the initial opening, or any alternative methods that would create the desired effect.

  • Button/multi state query

    Hello all
    I’m encountering a challenge which I believe has been discussed on these forums.
    This relates to pixelated, blurry text within buttons and multi-state objects.
    One solution to this issue is not using the objects containing text as buttons or multi-state objects. Instead, you insert shapes with no fill/stroke on top of text graphics and then grouping them.
    This ensures the text is sharp and clear.
    However, if you wish to have a roll over state, with a different fill/stroke/text colour as part of the roll-over state, then this poses problems as the shape serving as a button has to have no fill/stroke or text within them.
    Has around a work around for this problem?
    Many thanks
    H

    For clear buttons with click states, the easiest workaround is to place a dummy button over the image and change the stroke and perhaps even add a transparency fill. There is another more complicated workaround as well. For examples and instructions, see DPS Tips > Advanced Overlays > Sharp Buttons.

  • Multi-State Non-Resident Tax

    Hello,
    In the case where you have employees who live in one state but who may work in multiple states during a pay period (i.e. traveling sales employees, or consultants) how are you handling the collection of time spent in each state for payroll tax purposes?  We have considered using the percentage on the IT208 to prorate the time, and have also discussed using the CAT2 time sheet.  I'm looking for how others are handling this.  Is anyone willing to share how their company handles captures time for multi-state non-resident taxation?
    We can talk off-line if you prefer.
    Thank you,
    Cheryl

    Hi Cheryl,
    There is an SAP functionality of Work Tax Area Override which can used from combination of IT2010 (maintaining tax area under Tax area record type field) and processing class 67.
    This will charge time entered on IT2010 only to tax on work tax area entered in IT2010 against it and that wage type should be marked for PCL 67 too.
    There are changes required to sub-schema UT00 for this to work properly.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
