Highlighted button Disappearing at the end of loop?

Hey guys,
I have a simple menu with a few buttons and a short clip in a drop zone and a song in the background. All of this takes a minute to reach the end and once it reaches the end it loops but after the loop the highlight is gone and the buttons wont work ( on a DVD player).
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex

The main problem is
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
You are getting a list of all files and folders that exist in that folder, they could be text files etc.
It is better to specify the file types IE:
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif||psd|)$/i);
As this will only get a list of files that are jpg, tif or psd

How can I set the highlighted button according to the last chapter viewed?

I have a main menu with four buttons, each one of which takes me to a different chapter of track 1. When I press the MENU button on the remote and return to the main menu, I would like for the highlighted button to be the one corresponding to the last chapter viewed. How can I do this?
Page 247 of the DVDSP manual says the following:
Highlight Condition: Provides an alternative method to the Default Button setting for determining which button to highlight. When Highlight Condition is set to Default, the Default Button setting supplies the button highlight setting. When Highlight Condition is set to one of its stream settings (audio, subtitle, camera angle), the number of the stream last played determines the button to highlight. This setting can be overridden by any element that jumps to this menu, based on its jump setting.
I know that SPRM 7 contains the value of the current chapter, so when returning to the main menu I would like to use SPRM 7 to set the Highlight Condition, but I don't see a way to do that, since the only options for Highlight Condition are audio stream, subtitle stream, and camera angle.

Ah. Pre-scripts.
I would do this by tracking the menu, certainly, but I'd do that by using a set of scripts not as prescripts. So, if your main menu is the start up item for the disc, create a script that reads:
mov GPRM0, 1
Jump main menu
and set that as the start up item instead. Now create a second script:
mov GPRM0, 2
Jump Menu2
and use both of these scripts on any button that goes to a menu. For example, on the Main Menu you'll have a button that links to menu2... point that button to script 2 instead of the menu itself. Similarly, on the chapter menu if you've got a button that takes you back to the main menu, point that button to the first script.
For your menu call script you can now do this:
mov GPRM1, SPRM8
div GPRM1, 1024
Jump Main menu \[GPRM1\] if (GPRM0 = 1)
Jump Menu2 \[GPRM1\] if (GPRM0 = 2)
This could also be the end jump script for both tracks, too.
Now, Main menu will have three buttons, one for track 1, one for track 2 and one to go to the second script. Track 1 menu call and end jump goes to the last script, track 2 does the same. On the chapter select menu you point each button to the relevant chapter in track 1 and let the scripts do their job whenever a menu call is made or the track ends. The script will see you were on Menu2 and send you there, and SPRM8 will get you back to the button you last selected.
If, instead of this, you want to go to the button that represents the last chapter played on the chapter menu, and not the last button pressed, but still be able to get to the last button on the main menu then the script changes a bit:
Goto 5 if (GPRM0 = 2)
mov GPRM1, SPRM8
div GPRM1, 1024
Jump Main menu \[GPRM1\]
mov GPRM1, SPRM7
Jump Menu2 \[GPRM1\]
This sends you to the button relevant to the last chapter played if you came from the chapter menu, by jumping through the script to the bit that deals with Menu2, else it will work out the last button selected (and we assume this must have been on the Main menu because GPRM0 !=2 in that case), and send you to the main menu with that button highlighted.
If you've got any more scripts than that running, you've got too many... and get rid of the pre-scripts - they are more trouble than not, and don't work if you are using GPRM based button jumps anyway.

Make button flash at the end of the content

is there way to make button flash at the end of the video or auto progress the slide when the video is done?

Put an effect on it, and time it correctly.

Is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site

i am not sure if this will make sense so please tell me if it
doesn't. is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end
of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site. the
video plays showing the name of the site then fades to show the
text "enter" which i want to make the link to the next page.

> the video plays showing the name of the
> site then fades to show the text "enter"
in FLASH set a gotourl action on the last frame of the move.
If this is a "splash page" and has a dancing company logo and
a throbbing
drumbeat- reconsider. Just make the homepage of the website
the homepage.
Don't make people wait to see some content.

DVDSP QT loop in menu drop zone button has glitch at end of loop

I've tried reading all the other posts but none seem to exactly address my issue:
I have a simple QT that loops in one of my menu buttons, and the end jump is set to start at chapter 1, but each time it gets to the end, there's a split second of a "glitch" where the entire menu "shutters" if you will... you can't see it in simulate-it only happens on the final burned DVD test. It's not a smooth loop! and it makes the other buttons on the menu twitch... any clues?

Hi Yvonne - it is completely normal for there to be a pause or stutter of some kind as the menu loops, but it shouldn't be a jarring change. The reason it happens is because the laser playhead has to physically relocate itself back to the start of the material, refocus and begin playback again - it takes a little time, and different players do this more smoothly that others. The best thing to do if it is happening too frequently is to extend your footage for over a minute or two and hope that not too many people watch your menu for that long.
You could also try fading out at the end before the loop, but to be honest I've never had much luck with that. The best approach is simply to minimise the number of times the loop takes place, by extending the menu time (and the footage that goes in it of course).

On the row of tabs, my 'new tab' button thingy at the end disapeared overnight.

Yesterday there was a tiny button with a plus on it to open a new tab. overnight it somehow just disappeared, and it forces me to now go to 'File>New Tab' which is a huge inconvenience, and makes it much more difficult.

You usually find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.<br />

Stopping the File Open At the End of Loop

How can I make the script skip the "docRef = open(fileList[i])" at the end of the iteration once all the files are opened? Is there a way to get rid of
this by perhaps getting the total number of files on a folder and assigned it as a variable 'max", such that if the variable "i" is eventually equal to
"max," the the script will not execute the last action on the iteration?
As of now, this loop (taken from Paul Riggott's response to my question before regarding folder processing) is generating the following error:
Error 8000: Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect
Line: 20
-> docRef=open(fileList[i]);
Here is the script I am working on:
var startDisplayDialogs = app.displayDialogs
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO
// ask the user for the input and output folders
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder to process")
var outputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder for the output files")
if (inputFolder != null && outputFolder != null) {
// get all the files found in this folder
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles()
// open each one in turn
for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
// The fileList includes both folders and files so open only files
if (fileList[i] instanceof File && fileList[i].hidden == false) {
// get a reference to the new document
var docRef = open(fileList[i]);

The main problem is
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
You are getting a list of all files and folders that exist in that folder, they could be text files etc.
It is better to specify the file types IE:
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif||psd|)$/i);
As this will only get a list of files that are jpg, tif or psd

How do I make the "Open new tab" button positioned at the end of the tab strip, on the right, next to the last open tab, just as the standard Firefox should be.

My "Open a new tab" button (the +) does not appear at the end of the tab strip, it does not look like it is given in all photos here in the support page. It did not look like this before either. Now I have it at the most left end i.e. before the tabs begin. I can move it to the most right, but it sticks there. I want it to be attached to the last open tab, as it used to be, and as is shown in example Firefox photos.
Could be useful if I sent you a print screen, but I don't see an attachment option here.
Thanks!

Next-chapter button behavior at the end of a track

This is probably a silly question.
When the DVD is on the last chapter of a track, from then on I want next-chapter button to return the user to the menu screen. When I don't do anything special to the settings, DVDSP's simulation does nothing when I press the next-chapter button. But when I play the DVD back on a set-top player, pressing next-chapter begins playing a seemingly random other track. That's certainly not what I want.
How can I set the next-chapter button to return to the menu?

Press F3 to get to advanced layout
Go to Outline View
Highlight Track
Click Connections Tab in the main window (menu/viewer/connections)
You can set the next jump there (same for chapter) but not all players behave the same. Stories with a "dummy marker" which disables all user controls briefly seems to stop most of the players from jumping

Audio disappear at the end of my merged subclips after a relink

Hello everyone,
I am currently experiencing a new bug I've never seen before. Let me explain.
*1. The project of my workflow*
- I digitize HDCAM dailies (23,98) at low resolution with a DV codec
- I use the "Cinema Tools Reverse Telecine" to have the clips in 23,98 instead of 29,97
- I merge the video with the sound (which is 29,97)
- I create a subclip from the merge to remove the unwanted black at the beginning and the end of the clip, because the audio file is longer than the video file
*2. The problem*
Because I had to move my mediafiles to another hard drive, I had to relink them. The relink worked well, until I discoverd I couldn't hear the end of the sound of my merged clips. At 3/4 of the clip, the audio just stops. But if I go in the audio tab of the clip, I can see the waveforms.
+In green the part I can hear, in red the part I can't hear when I play the clip.+
Really weird. It's like FCP doesn't consider the audio anymore.
If I drag the clip to a timeline, it appears like this:
+I can't extend the audio in the timeline, even if it exists.+
*3. The workaround*
I tried relink one merged clips several times in a row. Each time it loose a bit of the end of the audio. In five relink, I have no audio anymore.
The only option is to remove subclips limits. There I have my audio back. But if, for whatever reason (and it can happen in a project) I have to relink, it will be the same problem over and over.
I don't really understand why this is happening, but I think it might be related to the 6.0.2 update, because I've never seen this bug before.
*4. The questions*
Does anyone had the same problem?
If there is something unclear in my explanation, please ask me precise question about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it is the correct workflow, I've done it before.
I found a workaround: instead of transcode the clips I digitized from 29.97 to 23.98 first, I create the merged clips while the video is still the same frame rate than the audio (29.97). Then I apply the "cinema tools reverse telecine" on the merged clip.
This merge doesn't present the problem I had before. It is a bit much more complicated than the other way, because the transcoded merge is not always sync to the frame.
Does anyone had experienced the same problem than me with the 6.0.2 update?

Suddenly, my custom url buttons disappeared from the navigation bar and I can no longer add new ones. FF22

I am using Firefox 22 (I like its features and do not want the features added in later version.) I have added a handful of custom URL buttons to the navigation bar that allow me to go instantly to websites I visit frequently. There was/is a function in Firefox for adding such buttons. This morning, after leaving my computer on all night, I found that the custom buttons had disappeared and I could no longer find the function for adding new ones. Can you tell me what has happened and how I can add custom URL buttons? I will appreciate your help. Thank you.

I solved my own problem. This function was added by Google Shortcuts, which somehow became disabled. After fussing ariound for a few minutes. I was able to restore it.

Do you hear the volume button click at the end of a video?

when I use the volume button to start/stop a video, the start is fine however when used to stop there is a very noticeable "click" when stopping.
Seems like a software bug as if there is a lag between pushing stop (and having the mechanical "click" loud click in the audio) and the actual end of record.
does not happen when you use the traditional screen button...

chances are they are from a fade. have you zoomed in really really close and checked if there is a small fade in or fade out? happens to me all the time, and with the fade out, you can't do anything to fix it (that I've found) except replacing the clip from your Browser. See my similar question here:

Hope that helps.

Mail window may be in the Full Screen mode.
Move the mouse pointer to the top right corner of the Mail window and hold it there.
Menu bar should drop down and click the blue double arrow icon.

The Home button disappeared in the last software update

I just received the latest update for Firefox yesterday. Today I don't have half of the available command buttons on the header lines including the Home button. I managed to get back the bookmarks, print and Sync buttons. Not very happy at the moment....

It's located on the far right next to the Search field.

Picture frame button disappear from the lock screen

hi guys,
after updating to iOS 5.01, I can no longer find the picture frame button in the lock screen. can I get it back somewhere by tweaking in the settings? thanks

Ah, you mean the camera. Your original post sounded like you were asking about the photo frame/display function.
To get the camera button on the Lock screen, just double-click the Home button.
