Hotspots for non-rectangular buttons

Does anyone know how to create a button which does not trigger on the image itself as the are always rectangular. I am trying to create a series of nested hexagonal buttons, when nested the transparent areas of the photoshop or png file is is not visable which is what I want but it the transparent area does trigger the rollover/trigger event.
I would like to know if you can create a hotspot for a button which is not reliant upon the image file but another shape similar to hotspots in Dreamweaver or is there a work round using other Muse CC features?

Brad, Thanks for the reply, I assumed that Muse would not allow this as they have simply ignored some basic requirements such as tables, hotspots, dropdown/radio buttons in forms etc. and have concentrated on gimicks like paralax scrolling, dont get me wrong it looks good but they should have got the foundations build first.
I do appeciate your response however its not really the answer, although I could go out and use Dreamweaver or even write the HTML myself (at a push) the point of Muse according to Adobe is that you dont need to 'write a single line of code'. From experience this is not true and Muse as a base application is limited creatively.

Non-Rectangular Buttons with images

is it possible to create a non-square "button" in flash cs4
programmatically using as3?
Using a xml document, i'm trying to be able to retrieve a
.png file with transparency, and have said transparent area's be
not clickable.
Long story short, I'm creating a map with a bunch of
clickable areas. These areas are non-rectangular and I need them to
not obscure other area's which would be in their rectangle. I need
this to be done programmatically since the area's are going to be
dynamic as is the data attached to them.
fyi: I have a fairly good grasp of OOP, so don't be afraid to
post up complex instructions.

Now we're cooking with gas! Thank you so much for your
assistance!
The only issue left;
is it possible for the Events to penetrate through, so that
if two elements slightly overlap, the transparent part of obj1 will
allow a onclick (and subsequently the onmouseover) event on el2,
preferably dynamically so that I don't have to add event handlers
between the two.
Is there a simple way or do i need to calculate the overlap
using the x/y coords and width/height of each element, then
manually dispatch?
here's where I'm at thus far (with this discussion)
Firstly, the class for the movie clip,
then our frame.

Non-rectangular Border?

Hello,
Is it possible to use a Border, for example a javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder, to outline a Shape?
I'm developing some non-rectangular Buttons and would like to be able to use some of the standard Borders with them.

I am trying to add a full screen mode button for non scalable pubished video in captivate 7

I am trying to add a full screen mode button for non scalable pubished video in captivate 7. For captivate 6 I used a widget from CPguru but that is not compatible with captivate 7.

Hello,
We have tried the Fullscreen widget from CPguru.
It seems to be working fine at our end.
Could you please try using the widget in a new project.
It could be specific to the project you have created. If possible, share the cptx file with us for better investigation.
Share the file (at https://workspaces.acrobat.com) and send it to [email protected]

Shortcut for selecting non-default button in dialog boxes

I seem to remember that there was a keyboard shortcut many OSs ago. I can't seem to find it or replicate it. Particularly, I would like to choose the non-default button in a dialog box in Acrobat Pro for productivity's sake.
Thanks, Jon

Hi Jon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
No way to tell if Adobe follows the standard, but TAB generally moves through the Dialog buttons & Space Bar selects that choice where Enter/Return chooses the default blue button. Sometimes the CMD key + the first letter of the button selects it iirc. Sometimes the esc key passes for Cancel.
If it's not, in Sys Prefs change if the “Full keyboard access” under keyboard shortcuts is set to use text boxes and lists only, switch it to “All controls”.

TS1646 what if there isn't a button for "none" in the list of payment types?

when i try to edit my payment info there is no option for none next to the list of credit card types. what do i doooo!!?? please help!

I have used some iOS apps that allow both selection and disclosure by replacing the regular Disclosure indicator with a Detail Disclosure button. A list item would only show the detail disclosure button when it has children. Touching the row will select it; touching the Detail Disclosure button will drill into the children.
Disclosure indicator.
Detail Disclosure button.
You probably cannot just configure the storyboard to work like this. But programmatically controlling button appearance and segue to child view controller is straightforward.
This might not exactly follow Apple's UI guidelines since the Detail Disclosure button is intended to show details about an item rather than the item's children.

Non-rectangular click area?

I have a map that contains several areas, which have
irregular shapes, i.e., they all have non-rectangular contours.
Each such area is a movie clip, made from a transparent gif. Any
part outside of this area (non-rectangular contour) is transparent.
I have onRollOver and onRollOut event handler to process when
a mouse moves in or out of an area. But it seems that a "in" only
happens when mouse actually moves into the rectangle that enclose
an area and "out" only happens when mouse actually moves out that
rectangle.
So, how to make these events handle this non-rectangular
shapes? Thanks!

The MovieCip.hitArea property is a property of the MovieClip
class, which defines the functionality for all movie clips. The
Button class does not feature such a property, so if you want to
use it, you'll have to use
movie clip symbols.

Thanks! Words convey knowledge.
After reading your reply twice, in fact, from thinking too
hard to make the whole thing work based on those GIF-derived movie
clips, I just realized that I should've created the clips directly
from vector images.
Now, for each area's gif bitmap, I converted it into vector
first and then converted it into a movie clip symbol. In this way,
no special codes need to be used and it is more straightforward.
So, I guess one big wrong assumption I've made until now is
that converting a GIF directly into a movie clip should
automatically include a step to make the bitmap vector image.
Thanks all for your help!

UltraNav version for non-IBM clone PC to run IBM Travel PS/2 Keyboard, 89P8500, SK-8840?

My beloved IBM T42, circa 2005, has been retired from work duties and soldiers on in limited duty at home. I have recently attempted to re-create the well-designed keyboard, particularly the Synaptics touchpad and the TrackPoint, for my office PC, which is a clone (but with 'name-brand' internals, an Intel motherboard and processor, Kingston RAM, OCZ SSD) running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional, SP1.
So, for the princely sum of $35 I purchased a new keyboard, an IBM Part No. 89P8500 and IBM Model No. SK-8840. It's labeled IBM, not Lenovo. The keyboard's cord ends in two PS/2 plugs, one for the keyboard and one for the mouse, the latter I believe refers to the integrated Synaptics touchpad, and the integrated Trackpoint. My office PC has no PS/2 inputs, so I purchased a Ziotek PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse to USB Adapter (ZT1040444) to make the connection between the keyboard and the PC.
The keyboard does achieve basic functionality by simply plugging it into the PC through the Ziotek adapter. But the Synaptics touchpad and the TrackPoint are capable of considerably more functionality. I know this because on my T42 the touchpad and TrackPoint were controlled by UltraNav software, which created a tab in the Mouse Properties in Control Panel. There, many adjustments and customizations were possible.
But having spent more hours than I will admit to (yes, it's in double digits), I am still unable to achieve UltraNav levels of functionality. Worse, and even though the keyboard functions, if I open Control Panel, Mouse Properties an error message appears saying:
"Unable to connect to the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver.
If you have installed another PS/2 Pointing Device Driver please uninstall the Synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You then need to reinstall your pointing device driver for your external device again.
Do you want to uninstall the Synaptics driver now?"
I select "No" and the Mouse Properties dialogue box opens, sans any indication of UltraNav or any functionality beyond the basic functions provided in Windows.
It finally dawned on me that the UltraNav software is IBM's proprietary version of Synaptics' generic touchpad / trackpoint driver. And it just doesn't want to and/or isn't going to work on my clone PC. I have literally tried dozens of USB and PS/2 drivers from Lenovo's website. The generic Synaptics driver from Synaptics' website imparts none of the UltraNav functionality, as best as I can tell.
My guess is that IBM probably didn't plan on selling enough of the now-priced-at-$35 keyboard (89P8500 / SK-8840) to merit going to the trouble and expense of preparing an UltraNav driver for non-IBM computers to run the thing. But, is there a version of UltraNav that will run on non-IBM/Lenovo PCs? I haven't found it.
The keyboard uses PS/2 and the Ziotek adapter, at least in theory, maps the PS/2 interface over to work with the USB interface. But is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit treating the Ziotek adapter-connected keyboard as a PS/2 device (which it is), or does the Ziotek adapter cause windows to treat the keyboard as a USB device? Thus, is the adapter's mapping over process so complete that the PS/2 device is now treated as a USB device? I have inquired with Ziotek and I am awaiting a response, which may never come.
I posted here in desperation. Please help, if you are able.
Thank you,
Dennis

IBM sourced their keyboards from another company for a long time, and that company not only still exists, but still sells the keyboard you're using (though for much more). Company is Unicomp. Website is pckeyboard.com. They probably support the keyvboard.
That said, the generic synaptics reference driver should work for the trackpad. Can't say the same for the trackpoint.

How can we do the validation for non visible records in table control.

Hi Experts,
I have a table control which displays list of material details. I have a button to upload the material details from excel file to table control directly. I have to validate all the customers which are exist in the table. But my item (Material) table control displays only 5 rows i.e only 5 entries are visible in module pool screen. The validation is done for 5 records only in PAI event, but i need to do validation for rest of the records too (Which are not visible on items table), if validation fails then needs to display error message.
How can we do the validation for non visible records in table control.
Regards,
Bujji

New IR's not appearing in Views for non-admins

We are in pre-production testing for SM 2012 SP1. We only have a few user roles beside the built in roles. We have a 'standard' group
which has access to just about everything except for sensitive items relating to user termination, legal, etc. We have a group which can see those sensitive items, and then we the built in administrators. <o:p></o:p>
When non-admins create an IR or SR, it sometimes takes up to 5 minutes for the item to show up a custom “all open incidents”
view, or in a custom “my incidents” view. In a few isolated cases, the work item did not appear for over an hour. However, admins can see all of these work items immediately in any view that should, by criteria, be displaying it.<o:p></o:p>
What would cause a work item to display immediately in all appropriate views for admins, but not for non-admins?<o:p></o:p>

Sorry for the delay in updating. Our management team got very frustrated with the performance and nearly killed the whole project. I got them to give SM another chance with R2, hoping that some of issues would be resolved. This issue was
not resolved.
So, I have continued testing. I cleaned up our Queues, so we only have 4 now in the Queues list. When I open the properties of the our custom user role, the Queue section displays our 4 queues, plus one called Work Item Group from the System
Work Item Library. I started with selecting just 1 Incident queue, for this user role. I created a new IR as this user, and it took nearly 15 minutes for the IR to appear in the view.
I then modified the user role and selected the "All work items can be accessed" radio button. I created another IR and it appeared in the view immediately. Now, this is where it gets interesting. I went back to the user role and set it
back to display a single queue, and the IR disappeared from the view. It didn't appear again for another 10 minutes.
The queue that is this IR should be assigned to is quite simple. Right now, I want it to display all incidents. It is not looking at an advanced class, just incident. Initially, I did not upt any criteria on it at all. I then tried
setting it to just Active Incidents, and still the IR's takes 10-15 minutes to appear.
I still don't understand what an aggressive queue is. Does my queue sound 'aggressive?' The view is looking at Incident (typical), not advanced. I don't see any obvious problems in the Workflow Status section of the Admin pane. What
should I be looking for next? I need to have the ability to filter queues by user roles, but it will cripple productivity if new IRs do not appear for 10-15 minutes.

ISF/javascript code doesn't work for non-English RequestCenter proile

ISF/javascript code doesn't work for non-English RequestCenter proile
Hello,
I am not sure if i posted the same question before also. We have some customers who have set thier language profile in newScale requestcenter to French. However, all the javascript customizations configured on the service forms do not function for 'French' as a Langauge preference. Has anyone encountered the similar issue before and can anyone please suggest a solution for it?
Thanks,
Mihir

we had a similar issue a while back where the Approval button was not working in Spanish, needed a fix from nS for it
The way to fix this would be to locate the language XML file, override the French caption with Submit and on onLoad write a global JS that would write the button label again (not so sure about this)
But really its an major defect and they should be able to fix it.
