How can I make a button "react"?

This is probably a super silly question, but you know how it is, sometimes we sit on the answer and still can't find it... How can I make a button react to a click? I just want the simple effect of the button changing colors or looking like the user pushed it. Right now it's just the same old plain button, no matter if I click it or not, you can't really tell the difference. How can I give it the "pushing the button" effect? Thanks guys!

You can choose image button and then choose from the available image buttons, or click on the folder icon when you select the image button and choose from the Gallery of Captivate 6.
Few image buttons change color on hover or onclicked, these effects are predefined in them.
Or you can edit that button on which you are working, from properties Panel.
The Post and Cancel button on this thread seems like a transparent button in Captivate with different fill and stroke color, and transparency is also less, and with corner radius of 0.
You will find these all optionns, when you will click on that button and then click on the properties panel.
Thanks.

  • How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

    How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

    Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
    I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

  • How can I make a button that on press the object appears and on second press the object to disappear

    Hello,
    I'm quite new to flash programing, and I don't know how can I make a button that will make the object appear and disappear.Till now I have this code for the appear:
    on (press)
        _root.top1.gotoAndStop(2);
        _root.topp.gotoAndStop(2);
        _root.mm1.gotoAndStop(2);
              _root.m1.gotoAndStop(2);
    but from here I'm stuck.
    Thank you for your help

    What you can do is use the _visible property of the object to make it appear and disappear, or more correctly, use the opoosite of the _visible property.  You should not put code "on" objects, keep it in the timeline.
    If "object" is the instance name of the object you want to toggle, then in the timeline code you can use...
    object._visible = false;  // start with the object being invisible
    yourButtonName.onRelease = function(){
        object._visible = !object._visible;
    That one line in the function sets the object's _visible property to be the opposite of what it currently is.

  • How can I make my buttons be gone forever?

    Just starting out with Flash and have run into a problem. I have several scenes with buttons that can be pressed once and then they disappear using:
    myBtn1.onRelease = function(){ this._visible=false}
    But when I go back to the scene the buttons reappear. How can I make my buttons be gone forever?

    if you have more than 1 button that should be made not visible at any given time, you'll need to use an array to store those button references.  otherwise, you can use:
    var alreadyRemoved:Boolean;
    if(alreadyRemoved){
    myBtn1._visible=false;
    myBtn1.onRelease=function(){
    this._visible=false;
    alreadyRemoved=true;

    See which form of ActionScript you used to make the site.
    Open the Actions panel and see whether you've chosen AS versions 1
    & 2, or AS 3. If you've picked the earlier versions, you can
    attach a link easily to each button by clicking on the button, and
    adding a little code in the Actions panel. Turn on ScriptAssist to
    make it easier. Click on "on" and choose "release" or "press" or
    both. Then scroll down the commands on the left and add getURL. You
    will then have a few lines that say something like, on(Release)
    getURL("putyourpageurlhere"). See bottom for exact syntax. That's
    all. The new .html or .php page will load when the button is
    clicked.
    If your buttons are not actually four-state buttons, but
    graphic or movie clip symbols, you will have do it a little
    differently. Instead of attaching the code to a button, you attach
    it to a keyframe. You give your symbol an instance name in the
    property panel, then in the Actions panel create a function that
    says essentially: when you click on this instance (onRelease)
    getURL.
    If you're using AS3, the concept is similar but the code is
    different. With a quick search you can find dozens of code examples
    that you can cut and paste.
    Here's that AS2 button code...

  • How can I make a button (click) animate an object

    Basically I want to make a button (nextscreen) which animates a rectangle (movie1) once it's clicked.
    So far it doesn't work, anything I try gives me errors
    for example I typed
    nextscreen.onPress();
    function fl_AnimateHorizontally_6(event:Event)
        Movie1.x += 10;
    But it gives me the error
    Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 12
    1061: Call to a possibly undefined method onPress through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
    Apparently once I select my button and hit f9, I'm supposed to see the symbol of the button at the bottom but I can't so all my script is on a seperate layer called Actions and is all over the place
    So I try to use code snippets and when I run my program with this code;
    nextscreen.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_AnimateHorizontally_7);
    function fl_AnimateHorizontally_7(event:Event)
        Movie1.x += 10;
    My object animates but without me clicking the button
    so what do I need to add so only when I click the object animates
    Regards

    If that's the case then you need to have clicking the button initiate a repeating function, which you can achieve using an ENTER_FRAME event listener.
    nextscreen.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_AnimateHorizontally_7);
    function fl_AnimateHorizontally_7(event:MouseEvent)
         nextscreen.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_AnimateHorizontally_7);
         this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveHalfway);  
    function fl_AnimateHorizontally_7(event:Event)
         if(Movie1.x <stage.stageWidth/2){
                Movie1.x += 10;
          } else {
                this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveHalfway);

  • How can I make Navivation buttons remain coded through different scenes?

    Ladies and Gents,
    I am working on a flash website for an artist with a lot of work. In order to maintain my timeline clean and organized I have created multiple scenes to display the artwork.
    There is a home button and a a main navigation bar (present in every scene)
    there is also a sub navigation bar that leads to the artwork.
    The code is very simple and constant for all the buttons:
    btnHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, home);
    function home(evt:Event):void{
        gotoAndPlay(1, "Home");
    This works only in the scene where I first placed the code (Scene "Art"). The rest of the scenes give me this error
    ArgumentError: Error #2108: Scene Home was not found.
        at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
        at Susan_Giles_MultipleScenes_Scene1999_fla::MainTimeline/home_1999()
    I am very confused because flash can find the scene "Home" and the other 11 scenes from the scene ART, but it cannot locate them from any other scene.... what am I doing wrong?
    I will appreciate all help.
    Thanks in Advance.
    J.

    One way would be to make the movieclip clickable.  That would make it block the other objects behind it...
         mc.onRelease = function(){ }
         mc.useHandCursor = false; // to hide the hand cursor
    Another way would be to disable the buttons while the movieclip is present...
         btn.enabled = false;
    Another way would be to build conditional code into the button clicking code to not work if the movieclip is visible.
         btn.onRelease = function(){
              if(!mc._visible){
                    // okay to do stuff

  • How can I make navigation buttons textual instead of icons?

    In pre-29 versions there was an option for this in the customise toolbar. It says 'Show:' with a drop-down menu next to it with the options icons, icon & text, text. I prefer this to be set to text but I don't see such an option in the customisaton menu for newer FF versions.

    Hello,
    Try using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] extension. After it is installed, you can go to:
    *Tools > Classic Theme Restorer
    To change the options for it, such as showing text instead of/alongside icons on your toolbars.
    Please see [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]] for more information.

  • Hello how can i make one button work

    hello , please
    i would like to know if i have three buttons working but i need to make when i push one of them the others just don't work unless the first or the button i pressed finish its action
    thx

    Hi, redcrowdesign-
    Part of the problem is that you're using ActionScript syntax in a JavaScript environment.  Instead of using _root, you can access the Stage object.  If your symbol is only one level down, you can use sym.getParentSymbol().stop("label");.  If you have a nested symbol, you may find sym.getComposition().getStage().stop("label"); more effective.
    That being said, you might want to rethink your UI model and focus your iPad interactions on the touch events, which are much more performant than the mouse events.
    Hope that helps,

  • How can I make a button that will work on iPads? (animate only on Mousedown)

    I am making an interactive page in Adobe Edge Animate. It will double as a low-mem website and also as an iPad page and is part of a larger flash website which is highly animated.
    This website sports two kinds of buttons; the ones linking to a label in the timeline and the ones linking to a URL.
    The problem is that I do not want the buttons to work on mouseover because that will be completely useless on iPads and similar devices. That is why I want the thing to animate on mousedown.
    What I did initially was to load the on and off states of the button to my timeline and made them into a symbol, after that I made two labels inside of that symbol; one for the on state and one for the off state. Below the first label there is a "sym.stop("ONstate");" action  and then my off-state button graphic has a mousedown "sym.stop("skipON");" action. Then comes the tricky part, I wanted to reference the label on which it should land in a onclick action on a root level. It didn't work at all. I used "_root.stop("label");". As you can see my programming abilities are extremely poor, I'm a graphics guy.
    Next, I decided to leave the mousedown action inside the symbol and do the onclick action on the main timeline, which did work for the most part, however it behaved weirdly. First off, the mousedown action worked perfectly, but not at the same time with the onclick action; You would click on the mousedown thing and it would stop on the frame and then you would need to click it a second time to go to the label.
    There must be either something  I'm doing wrong or this function is not supported by the Edge Animate beta. But my programming abilities are so poor to pinpoint the real cause of the problem.
    Can anyone help me please?

  • How can I make a button in Muse that bookmarks the page the user is on?

    I want visitors to be able to push a button that bookmarks the specific page in their web browser. Is this possible in Muse? Or do I have to use third-party code?

    Hi
    As pnoypie has suggested , you can use html for this.
    You can directly insert the html which would create a link to bookmark on page or insert the html inside button widget and define states.
    Here is an example :

  • How can I make PLAY button be selected by default in top menu?

    Hi, I usually have the PLAY button and all the scene selection buttons show up in the same top menu on my DVD's. Is there a way to have the PLAY button be the one that is initially selected when the DVD starts up. In other words, I don't want people to have to scroll the various buttons on the menu to get to the PLAY button. I want it to be selected by default, so all they have to do is hit the PLAY button on their remote control to start the movie.
    Thanks, Bob

    I think Robert was referring to the triangular play button on the simulator control panel rather than the button on his menu marked 'Play'...
    Robert - the 'Enter' button (or your 'Return' key on your keyboard) are the only ways you'll get the simulator to begin to play your project. The Triangular play button is for when you are in a motion menu or track and you pause and re-start playback, and isn't used to select entries on the menu. When you start a track, note how the triangular play button becomes a pause button when the track starts running, and it is no longer greyed out... if you click it, you'll see the triangle return and also not be greyed out.

  • How can I make a button on the PDF form invisible?

    Hi all.
    I added a submit button to my PDF form but I do not want it to print on the form or appear when the form is e-mailed?
    Is there a way to make it invisible before I print or e-mail the document?
    If this is not possible, is there a way to add the submit button along with the javascript that needs to run when the PDF is opened?
    Thanks!

    Set the button's properties to "Visible but doesn't print"
