How do I disable a button up to a certain point on the timeline?

I have a series of buttons on the screen.
Is there anyway to have the buttons displayed for the whole length of the timeline, but disabled up until a certain point on the slide.
For example I want to disable the NEXT button for 4 secs, preventing the user clicking on it up to that point.
Right now, I hide the button for 4 sec - but this is not very elegant.
Any suggestions greatfully received !!

Hi there
In addition to what Lieve described, I'll also advise of how I managed to do this.
Create an image of the button in a disabled state. That provides a nice visual cue that the button is disabled. Then insert the image in the same screen location as the button. On the timeline, present the image for the time the button is disabled. Then configure the image to disappear and at the same point have the button itself appear.
Worked a treat for my project.
Cheers... Rick

  • How can I get rid of sound at a certain spot in the timeline?

    I have some video shot with my gopro camera, every time I switch hands with it - it makes a noise the mic picks up that I want to get rid of. Can that be done in premiere pro?
    Thanks,
    Rchjr

    RCHjr what Peru Bob is suggesting may benefit from a little more detail.  He is suggesting you find another clip with what is called "room tone" or background sound. If you cut out all of the sound where you handle the camera your movie may sound strange at the point everything is removed.
    Find a part of or a clip where there is consistent background sound  with nothing unusual.  It needs to be a little longer than the section you cut out.  Alt click on the sound part of the clip and drag it somewhere clear on the timeline, this will copy it without the video. 
    Listen to it by itself -expand the track and click on the S button at the far left to solo it, make sure it is clean- nothing unusual. This is best done using headphones.
    Place it on an audio track under the clip you cut the sound out of.  You now have many ways to blend them; you can ripple delete, use keyframes or the clip mixer or transitions to blend the two tracks together.
    I do a lot of GoPro pole camera work on moving boats on the ocean, every time the camera body or pole is rotated or touches a boat just what you describe happens.  There are more sophisticated ways to try to fix it in Audition but the clone and blend method should do the trick.  It's also helpful to shoot twenty or thirty seconds of  "room tone" which is asking everyone to be quiet and rolling the camera(or sound recorder) for every unique soundscape.

  • How does one disable a button in the web UI?

    How does one disable a button in the web UI? I am trying to disable the edit button in the web UI for Accounts. What are the steps to take in order to accomplish that?

    Hi Abdul,
    Locate the Toolbar group group for that application. It should be ACC_OIC01 in your case. You can deactivate a specific button (event) under the toolbar group.

  • I use Plaxo for my contacts, and I want it to synch my Outlook contacts with my PC.  So I can't use my iCloud contact synch.  My question: How do I disable my iCloud contact synch feature while still allowing the rest of iCloud (music

    I use Plaxo for my contacts, and I want it to synch my Outlook contacts with my PC.  I got a new HP PC with the (awful) Windows 8.0 operating system, and, to say the least, I miss the good old days.   Plaxo customer support tells me that I can't use my iCloud contact synch because they clash. 
    My question: How do I disable my iCloud contact synch feature while still allowing the rest of iCloud (music, photos) to operate as usual.
    What mysterious steps must I take in order to do this and not cause a complete meltdown in the process?  The meltdown that I fear most is the one that happens between my ears.

    Music is nothing to do with iCloud but Photostream is, so turn off Mail, Contacts and Calendars (in the iCloud Control Panel) and leave everything else on.
    You will lose iCloud Calendars and Mail as well as Contacts, but you can manually re-enable mail (if you use iCloud email)

    how do I disable this - “Firefox.app” is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

    If you want to open it confirm that you do. You will not be asked that question again after the first time you open it
    Unless you are keeping Firefox in the .dmg it was downloaded in.  That is to say, if you obtained Firefox in a .dmg, and you have kept the .dmg mounted, and are launching Firefox from the mounted .dmg, then you will ALWAYS get that warning.   You should copy Firefox from the mounted .dmg to your Applications Folder (or anywhere you prefer), and then eject the mounted .dmg.  Unless you need to install Firefox on another system, you can then delete the .dmg.

  • How do i disable mouse button 4 and 5 to open new tabs or windows?

    Okay so I got myself a new mouse, its a logitech G700s mouse but I don't think that matters anyway.
    The problem is that the extra buttons on the mouse (small buttons on the side) i have are assigned as "mouse button 4" and "mouse button 5". Now to a standart mac system these buttons are assigned to open a new window or a new tab in safari but when I customly set these buttons to something else it does both of those things. For example i sat the mouse button 5 to mission control (show all windows) but now if I am using safari it also opens something in a new page if I am holding the cursor on a link.
    I just want to know how I can remove that function. To make the mouse button 5 and 4 do nothing.
    The system I use to customise the mouse buttons are a separate program. I need to know how to disable this new page function in the mac software.

    Do it thru its action:
    //Deactivate a button disabling its action
    //You can see it but clicking it does nothing
    wdGetACTION_NAMEAction().setEnabled(false);
    //Get it's funcionality back
    wdGetACTION_NAMEAction().setEnabled(true);
    Or you could hide it using an attribute of type WDVisibility binded to its visible property.
    //Hide it
    wdContext.currentContextElement.setATTRIBUTE(WDVisibility.NONE);
    //and Show it
    wdContext.currentContextElement.setATTRIBUTE(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);

  • How to properly disable a button after click or can an event disable itself?

    Can I disable  MouseEvent.CLICK after I clicked it?
    I am relatively new to coding and it seems to me as a mistake that an event will disable itself?
    Is it ok or is it prone to some mistakes?
    mainNav_buttonsGroup_mc.Products_btn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_Products_btn);
              function onClick_Products_btn(event:MouseEvent) :void {
                        gotoAndPlay("products");
                        mainNav_buttonsGroup_mc.Products_btn_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_Products_btn);
      Products_btn_timeLine.play();
    The idea is that I want to disable a button after it is clicked.

    The approach will work.  The event is not disabling itself.  The event is the occurence of the CLICK interaction.  The event listener is designated to detect that happening.  The event handler function for that listener is disabling the event listener.

    I made a script for the file that i am working with that has
    buttons located within 2 movieclips. I want that button to load and
    image into a UILoader (problemLoader_mc) that I placed on the stage
    on the main timeline (the timeline that contains WeekBar_mc). The
    problem is that I don't know how to get to the root of the file to
    start a new directory to tell my function to load the image i want.
    I have tried multiple approaches including:
    MovieClip(root).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
    MovieClip(parent).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
    root.problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
    parent.problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
    (root as MovieClip).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
    If anyone can help me out with this, I would greatly
    appreciate it, I am banging my head against a wall at the moment.
    (Also, please excuse my vague descriptions, I am still learning the
    official terms.)
    Here is the code that I have written that pertains to this
    problem:

    I have a mental block for reasoning things out as far as
    assigning the listener to an object two mc's away from the main
    timeline while having the function in the main timeline, so I may
    play with that on my own for awhile. One thing you didn't do
    though, was to pay the same attention to the problemArray[0]
    assignment in that function, which I assume also lives in the root.
    But here's what I'd do for the moment.
    Take all that code except the array and plant it in the
    timeline where WEEK1btn lives, modifying it as follows....
    WEEK1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pload1);
    function pload1(event:Event)
    MovieClip(this.parent.parent).problemLoader_mc.source =
    MovieClip(this.parent.parent).problemArray[0];
    I haven't utlized root myself yet, so I am not comfortable
    offering you a solution that attempts it.
