Highlight with a Picture behind a button.

Im trying to make the buttons on a dvdsp4 project highlight with a .psd file of a piece of masking tape. I want the tape pic to appear behing the button's text when thier mouse passes over it or when they have moved to it with thier dvd remote. Im stumped here and would really appreciate any help at all. Thanks.

There's no way to achieve the knockout effect within DVDSP without prepping the elements in Photoshop for each menu and button.
If you create the tape shapes in photoshop, these should go onto a separate layer to be used as the buton overlay in DVDSP. This layer will probably work best as grayscale, then you would map a masking-tape-like color onto it in DVDSP.
Preserve a version o fyour photoshop file with the editable text and all the layers, and prepare a copy for DVDSP in which you have flattened the layers down to a background and overlay. By combining the layers the right way you can load the alpha channel of the type and fill it with a color (shade of grey) on your overlay layer with only a couple clicks for each menu. I'd recommend using black for the text, and the lighter grays for the tape, that way you can map a different color for the highlight on the type in DVDSP and still simulate an anti-aliased look for the tape image by managing the color and transparency.
Two other options:
in DVDSP, consider the layered menu method, which will allow you to turn the full-color photoshop layers on and off for each button state. Read up on this and why it makes menu navigation sluggish.
Make the tape iamges part of the background and cover them up with the buttons' normal state. This requires having a solid color in that part of the background to which you can match the color of the buttons' normal state. This can be tricky.
Hope this helps -

Can't delete photo albums... It says to go to albums, hit edit and a delete button will show next to album. It is not working, no delete button. if you add an album with no pictures the delete button appears on that album..

OK, figured it out. go to itunes click the photo tab, create a blank folder in your picture folders and the sync the phone to that folder, all libraries will be removed.

Should be then sync, not the sync... Typo!!

Making a button with a picture

I'm trying to make a button with a picture I made in photoshop.. but the problem is that the background is transparent, I just want the main part to be clickable.
Here is an example.. I just want the purple part to be clickable. The box around that is the actually whole image. So how can I fix this?

if you are using a simple button with up / over / down / hit frames do the following.
add a new layer to your button's timeline above the bitmap
in the up keyframe of this new layer draw a circle the same size and position of the purple starburst.
select the circle and cut the the circle (cmd-x or cntrl-x)
delete the layer you just made
make sure there is a keyframe in the hit frame of the remaining layer (f6)
if the bitmap is in the hit frame, delete it.
with the hit frame selected do a paste in place: cmd-shift-v or cntrl-shift-v
now you should have only the vector circle shape in the hit frame of the button.
now your button will only respond to mouse events when you rollover where the circle is.
the reason i had you add a new layer is because when you draw vectors in the same layer / frame as a bitmap, the vectors go behind the bitmaps and are hard to select, see, or modify.

Help, my iphone 5 is locked and will not function! I've turned it off and on and it has the same fault. What ever you press on the screen highlights with a box round it. When you press the round button with the square in the centre the voice on the phone tells you the time. Then the voice says screen lock. If I try and unlock the phone the voice says phone unlock but you can't put the code in. If you hight the box it will say the number but not put the code in?! What's the crack?

Connecting a movie with a picture/button

Hello, I bought a flash web template and now I am trying to
modify it. I need to know how to import a video clip into flash and
then connect it with a picture/button using actionscript in CS3. I
want to keep everything within the same flash project so being able
to do that would be ideal. Thanks for any help you can give
me.

There are multiple ways in which HTML controls can communicate with flash. I think one such way by using SetVariable() can address your issue is explained at: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/external_interface_print.html

Need help with keeping pictures in focus after transitions

I am fairly new to Final Cut X.
Right now I am making a DVD of just photos with music added.
I am using transitions between photos as well.
I'm having one problem:
When I play the movie in FC, during the transition from photo to photo my pictures look great and are clear, but when the transition is not happening and the picture is just showing it goes a bit blurry.
Can someone help me out with a solution for this?
Thanks, Adam

Create a picture for a Button without using a custom control

So I enherited the system I am currently developing. One thing the guy did before me was put pictures on all of his buttons. I have no clue how he did this as I just starting using Labview several months ago. Now I want to add my own buttons and want to replicate how he did it.
All the solutions I have search for use custom controls to attain their desired effect....well apparantly the guy did it a different way and I can't figure out how. I posted a VI with just the buttons he made in it so you can see what I am talking about.

Becasue you can make the custom button and apply it and never save it. If you right click on the button you should be able to got to the advanced and then to customize and still be able to edit the buttons that are on your code.
You will have to make new pictures to import to your custom display. The only other way to do this would be to make your button transparent and add a picture behind it.

Cannot find my "Pictures folder" in Finder and was using the "all Images" selection to fiddle with my pictures. Now I think I may have screwed iPhoto up

Hi jamesxio,
Do you still have the Pictures folder in your home folder? If not, create a new folder in your home folder and name it Pictures. Make sure the iPhoto Library folder is in the Pictures folder.
Now launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed until you get a message screen. Choose to open another library and navigate to and highlight the iPhoto Library folder. Click the Open button.
You didn't move anything around or rename anything in the iPhoto Library folder in the finder, did you?

Web dynpro with adobe interactive forms and button submit

Hi,
I'am new with webdynpro and adobe interactive forms so i just trying some example with an adobe interactive form with a submit button event handler inside the webdynpro. But i can't catch the event handler submit that i creaate on onSubmit property of the interactive form.
Can anyone help please.
Thank you very much.

I think I understand but just to make it clear. I use texts created using function module "SAVE_TEXT". In my Web Dynpro I select one or more of them and use the button "insert text" (with appropriate functionality behind it) to insert them to specified location in my PDF form opened in this Web Dynpro. Considering what you said it is not possible to replace this "insert text" button by drag and drop functionality. Am I correct?
Btw great job with the book "Next Generation ABAP Development" Thomas!

Help with SUBMIT BY EMAIL, radio buttons

Hi guys:
I have a two parter. I sincerely appreciate any advice!
1. Using Adobe Acrobat/Adobe LiveCycle Designer (mostly LiveCycle) I want to somehow pull a user-entered value from the PDF into the subject line of the email, created when the user clicks on "SUBMIT BY EMAIL".
Specifically, when the end-user fills in the "Employee ID" line in the PDF form, and submits the form, I'd like the subject line of the Submit by Email -email to read "Employee #___" with the ___ obviously being the employee ID.
Any help would be great; thanks!
2. I am aware of how to prevent a PDF being submitted via email if the enduser hasn't filled out a certain part of it -- a message pops up saying that the user hasn't filled in a required line, and the line is highlighted with a red box, etc.
What I can't figure out is as follows: I have two radio buttons, one (and only one) of which MUST be slected by the user. How do I set it up so that either one or the other must be selected in order to submit? Currently the form will only submit if you have both selected.
Thanks!

David,
I can help with the first part I think. I just tried this out using Designer and Acrobat 8, and it worked. (I saved my form as a dynamic acrobat 8 pdf)
I got this script from searching the forum and then tweaked it a tiny bit so that it works for the subject line. (http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?addBookmark@@.3bc34abf/44)
Using a regular button for submitting, I added this javascript as a click event:
var Comment = EmployeeID.rawValue;
if (EmployeeID.rawValue == null){ Comment = " "} else {Comment = EmployeeID.rawValue};
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Employee#"+Comment+"&bo dy=Write whatever you want to go here.",cSubmitAs:"XML",cCharset:"utf-8"});
So, my variable "Comment" will return the number typed into the EmployeeID field and put it in the subject line after "Employee #". If you copy/paste the code, make sure you change the email address and body message to be what you want.
Kristi
(oh, and if you want it to come back as pdf, change the cSubmitAs:"XML" to "PDF" and then enable user rights in Acrobat 8.)

Getting rid of picture behind toolbar

E-Mail with embeded pictures

I have received E-mails with embeded pictures.When I go to forward them, the text appears, but the pictures are lost.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sunday,
One way to see if a picture is actually attached to your email, rather than being shown through HTML, is to see if Mail shows an attachment with the "save" and "slideshow" buttons at the top part of the mail.
Clicking on "slideshow" will show you all the pictures attached to the mail.
Another thing you can do is to choose View > Message > Raw Source from the menu. This will show you the raw code for your mail.
If the pictures are showing up because of html, you'll see some code like:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="Microsoft Word 97">
<TITLE>Page title </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY LINK="#0000ff" VLINK="#800080">
<a href="http://www.dummyaddress.com/docs/newsletter/0906/">
<img src="http://www.dummyaddress.com/docs/newsletter/0906/online0906-large.gif" width="700" height="3785" border="0">
</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
If it's there, it means when you are forwarding the mail you're not forwarding pictures, just code; furthermore, Mail doesn't do HTML at this point, so the code won't work in your forwarded mail.
