How does one put animations into buttons?

I'm not talking about taking the button and fiddling with the way it is. I have an animated glowing effect in both movie clip and graphic and all I want to do is have it play, overlapping the button's over frame. However, everytime I enable simple buttons, neither work. Is a code needed?
Also I need to know how to have my glowing effect to repeat in a specific way. The animation has an intro and a loop. I want it to end by going back to where the loop is to continue looping rather than going back to the intro where it would spantaneously pop up (should I use a generic gotoAndPlay (framenumber); code?)

It's not really clear what you are trying to do or trying to avoid, but it sounds like you won't get where you want to be using SimpleButtons.  If you create your buttons as movieclips you can them pretty well control any aspect of how they play out.

  • How does one best make a button to jump around a PDF (interactive) on an ipad.

    I have been trying to figure out how to make an Interactive PDF document that could be loaded into an iPad.
    We need one: Buttons to jump around the document for navigation purposes.  A button would be eaiser to press on an iPad and if each page is designed the same people will know where "main menu" and the subsection buttons are and should be able to bounch back and forth in the document pretty easily.
    It seems that with Indesign CS5 you can make goto buttons but when you try and export them... Acrobat will not honor the goto commands so your left for dead.
    Yes it will work nicely with export to SWF and work marviously with a flash output but there's no way to look at flash content on the iPad.
    So I've found stuff on the web talking about bookmarks and text anchors but it seems like there are limitations with that as well.
    What confuses me further is when 3rd party PDF viewers claim they can use goto page number.
    http://www.appligent.com/talkingpdf-pdfontheiphone
    see the discription for GoodReader. (it has and ipad version)
    So is this an indesign issue?  An Acrobat 9 pro issue?  I don't get it.
    It seems so simple.  Just want to button that would take you to say page 1.  and on page 1 have a button that takes you to page 4.
    Does someone have any advise on how to create a PDF that could do this?
    SWF is very cool.  But unfortunatly Steve J's personal vendettia with Flash is making it hell for simple users....

    woodwing seems to have a nice toolset to make it easier for sure... but I'm not sure that is the correct direction for
    us.  As we don't want to have to submit anything to Apple.  Our needs are for internal use only and we would not be creating content for the public.
    I don't follow the ePup process fully...  PDF's we can load right onto the iPad.  It's a real shame about flash not working as we can make some very slick flash content right out of indesign with little effort.  (maybe the direction should be a Flash to HTML5 converter?  Goto page commands assigned to buttons would be wonderfull if they worked but when you export the doc to PDF Acrobat complains that it is not compatible.  When we export to flash it works like a charm on a PC.
    Haven't found a good gudie for bookmarks yet... and if that would give us buttons on each page to move the user back and forth through the document.

  • How does one put text on the spine?

    I'm a little confused about the difference between the version I'm creating and the template I start with. I start with a template, then resize and mess with the arrangement of the pictures. I move text boxes. All seems okay.
    I put a colored background on the front and back cover (by inserting a specially made pdf from Pages, a gradient color). The back spine remains white, and blank. How can I add text to the spine? And is there a way to have the color from the background bleed over the spine?
    Ben

    I certainly don't know how it was constructed, but I suppose the form was intended for people that use Word. If you were using Word, you would just select the "insert" key (or something - I forget) and type away. The text would type above the line. I thought maybe there was something like that in Pages. I find myself getting very frustrated using Pages and Numbers. They really aren't that easy to use. Word and Excel have them beat.

  • How does one put Mac to sleep using the keyboard (Lion)

    I have put my Mac to sleep by pressing command, option & the eject key. Screen goes blank/dark compter a sleep.  I have noticed this not longer works.  The screen goes blank but come right back on.  Has that command been eliminated in recent 'upgrades'?

    that still works for me.

  • Premier After Effects... How does one places the whole movie clip into AF?

    After years of using Premiere, I’m looking at using After Effects. Premiere does most of what I need (I don’t need moving graphics and titles) but the masking and rotoscoping seems to be better in After Effects. I’ve started a great video by Tom Green at school. This is probably silly question- I don’t understand is how does one places the whole movie clip into AF? I only see 30 seconds or so of the 5 minute clip on the timeline in AF.

    Ahh, thanks. I simply add more minutes (the length of the clip) into the "new composition".
    A new problem: When I try a dynamic link with premiere AE says “Failed to connect to adobe Premiere Pro Dynamic Link”, but PP will link with AE. I just installed AF last week. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall them (along with the rest of the Creative Suite)?

  • 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.

  • How does one convert an HP/Adobe scan into editable WordPerfect?

    How does one convert an HP/Adobe scan into editable WordPerfect? 
    The writer does not understand computer-eze.  Please explain in simple English.

    You can try using Adobe ExportPDF (https://www.acrobat.com/exportpdf/en/home.html) though it only produces Microsoft Word files. If WordPerfect can import .docx files, that will work. Note that the ability for ExportPDF to convert the file depends on the quality of the scan. If it's hard for ExportPDF to interpret the scan due to smudges, fuzziness, etc., it cannot do a very good job.

    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

  • How does one turn the french keys on and off in the wireless keyboard?

    how does one turn on and off the French keys on a wirleless keyboard?

    Hello dustysmart,
    I believe what is going on is that you have a secondary keyboard turned on within Windows. When you press alt + shift at the same time you are alternating between the two keyboards.
    To check this (and possibly delete the French keyboard if you don't want it) you can go into Control Panel and check under Change Keyboard.
    This article will provide you instructions depending on which version of Windows you are using.

  • How Does One Modify Photoshop Templates in Dreamweaver

    I posted this over on the Photoshop forum, but no one has
    replied. It is a hybrid sort of question.
    I've been trying to modify the Horizontal Neutral template of
    the Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop CS using Dreamweaver MX (v.6.1)
    on my G5 running Tiger and am almost there. Aside from the overall
    design (fonts and colors) I really like the interface of this
    particular gallery with a horizontal slider to quickly scroll
    through images, that when selected, appear in large form in the
    center of the page. But I need to customize it to get it to match
    the feel of my site.
    My problem: I'm trying to point to a gif file that is part of
    my website image library as my background. I want the Horizontal
    Neutral Gallery to float in that image background. But, I can't
    seem to get the background image to appear where it is supposed to.
    I've gone into the various components of the template
    (FrameSet, SubPage, etc.) and by duplicating the files and
    modifying the code, I am able to get the background image to appear
    within the tables that make up the navigation and image gallery
    components. But, I've not been able to get the image to appear as
    the background itself.
    I'd even be happy to simply have the entire Horizontal
    Neutral Gallery float in the middle of one of my own pages with the
    image file as a background if it is possible, but can't seem to
    even get it to do that. How does one access the code that controls
    the background image in this template or the script that generates
    these galleries?
    Thanks in advance!

    The reason the that the edit button ( - ) top righthand corner had 'disappeared', was that iCloud was enabled but that the Addressbook subsetting under iCloud was set to off in the phone settings.
    Changing it to 'on' made the edit button reappear.
    Thanks to the guys in Cambridge Apple Store!!

  • In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

    In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

    Hi JohnDory,
    The information side-bar from iPhoto has been removed in Photos App, and so it's been converted into a pop-up window showing both the exposure, aperture and so technical photo parameters, as well as the comments, faces and LOCATION for that photo.
    This small floating window is shown whenever you click the button in the app title bar, right clicking a specific photo or pressing ⌘i
    If you open the albums view (clicking in the name of the album list, NOT an album name, you can see in your left sidebar - which can be shown or hidden) and press ⌘i without selecting a specific photo the Info pop-up will show the map for your whole library (as well as the total amount of photos, videos, GB used, etc)
    So, I'm afraid the "Locations" view (which I really loved) from iPhoto has been ripped off... and we can only get "some sort of locations view" by this method.
    As for locations... there is no option for manual geotagging (so, setting location to a specific photography which doesn't have it yet)... that really ****** me off 
    Regards,
    braincasualties.

  • How does one make CC the default out of ACR rather than CC 2014?

    I installed the updates for PS CC and PS CC 2014.  Now, when opening a file out of ACR, it defaults to CC 2014.  How does one set things so that it opens in CC rather than CC 2014?

    GB has two "modes": In "musical time" the units of the timeline are bars and beats, in "real time", they're seconds. You can switch between them by clicking the clock/note symbols near the play button.
    "Snap to grid" only works in the musical time mode.
    An Apple Loop is always supposed to be an integer number of measures long. So if you're in 4/4 it can be 1, 2, 3 ... measures (which is 4, 8, 12 ... beats) long. Since the concept of loops is to be in rhythm with the beat of your song, this makes sense - so it is assured that the "one" of a drum loop, e.g., always sits on the "one" of a measure.
    If your loop is only half a measure long, you can double it to make a full bar. If your loop is not in rhythm at all with a beat - well, then it probably doesn't make sense to turn it into a loop that adjusts to the tempo in the first place. You can still turn it into a "static" kind of loop.
