How to create an open/close button

Hello All
I am endeavouring to create a button in InDesign that when it is tapped an image opens, and when it is tapped again the image closes, does anyone have any ideas how to achieve this please?
Kind Regards
Barb

Create hot spot buttons. See this article: Hot Spot Button Workaround for InDesign Dig Pubs
If you want to create a simple toggle button, create a button that points to an MSO (multi-state object) in which the first state is blank and the second state is the image. When you create the button, use the "Go To Next State" action.
To create more advanced buttons, download the free DPS Tips app and look at Advanced Overlays > Hot Spot Toggle Button. Web viewer version is here: DPS Tips Advanced Overlays: Hot Spot Toggle Button

How can I put the close button in the mainframe of the dialog?

Hi all,
I am creating a new dialog and I would like to konw...
How can I put the close button in the mainframe of the dialog?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Juanma.

Juanma,
Usually, a dialog would have an OK and a Cancel button, both can be served as the close button, but if user clicks the ok button (DefaultButtonWidget) to close the dialog, your dialog controller's (if it is based on CDialogController) ApplyDialogFields will get called so you can react to the OK action, otherwise, if user clicks the cancel button (CancelButtonWidget), nothing will happen. The dialog simply is dismissed.
See BasicDialog SDK sample to see how to add DefaultButtonWidget and CancelButtonWidget to a dialog.
Thanks!

How to hide the Slidelite close button [X]

I'm using Captivate 4.
I would like to know how to hide this ugly close button [X] when a slidlet is displayed on a slide ? I understand that this is usefull when the option Stick Slidelet is selected but i think the [X] makes little sens otherwise.

Hi there
Sorry, but there is no way to hide it. At least not using Captivate as it is out of the box.
Maybe one of the Flash savvy folks knows a way. But that would require knowledge of Flash as well as how it interacts with Captivate to accomplish.
Cheers... Rick

How to create a new push button in application tool bar in GMGRANT thru BDT

Dear SAP Gurus -
We have a requirement in 'GMGRANT' transaction. We need to create a button in the application tool bar of 'GMGRANT' transaction. Once the button is activated, if the user clicks on the button then it will go to a new screen (external screen). User can input data in to the external sceeen and upon saving, the data will be stored in to a custom table and when user clicks on 'back ' button user should come back to the GMGRANT transaction.
Just wanted to know, how to create / activate a new button on application tool bar of GMGRANT transaction and what are the configuration and detail steps to achieve the same through BDT.
We went through a lot of documents on BDT but do not have a proper solution.
Could you please help.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
You can find user-exits (menu exits) to add new menu item.
But, there is no possibility to add new buttons on application tool bar.

Teach me how to create the opening "hallway" sequence using Adobe After Effects

I need to create a memorial video for a loved one that passed away. Can someone teach me how to create the opening "hallway" sequence using AE? here is the video from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4191kcW07f0 . Thanks

I'll give a very brief overview but, presuming that you are new to After Effects, understanding and executing on this overview will require learning the basics of After Effects.
You'll be creating a 3D scene based on a few 3D layers: one each for the floor and each wall. Each of those 3D layers will be a precomposition layer; the wall layer with the pictures will be based on a precomposition in which you have placed your pictures as individual layers. You will create some 3D lights shining down from above. You'll create a 3D camera that you will then animate to move down the hallway.
As I said, that is a very brief overview. Understanding each of those pieces will require some learning. After Effects is not a simple application, so you do need to be prepared to put in some learning time if you are going to do this yourself. Here is the place to start: http://adobe.ly/AE_basics
All that said, I would recommend that you hire someone to do this for you. Learning a new and complex creative application under the time pressure (and other pressure) that you are under may be too much to ask.

Open/close button on tooltips?

Is it possible to have an 'open/close' button? I'd like to have a tool tip button say 'Open' when it's inactive, then say 'close' when it's active.

Try changing the Position of the Tooltip composition to Stacked that will enable the Close button "Part" for you to select. Then change the Show and Hide Target options to On Click. See if this setup fits your purpose.
Thanks,
Vinayak

How i create popup menu when button onclick

how i create popup menu when button onclick

You try adding a scrip tag in your jsp code, and calling the function in the onclick attribute.
Example:
<script><![CDATA[
                function confirmDelete(){
                if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete selected user")){
                return true;
                } else{
return false;
]]></script>
<ui:button action="#{View.delete_action}" binding="#{View.delete}" id="delete" onclick="confirmDelete"/>

How to create an "exit widget" button on iAd producer.

I am creating a widget for a children's book and would like to create a simple "exit button" (an X the reader can touch to close the widget). Thus far I have created the object, but i can't seem to find an an 'action' to associate with the "activated" event that will close the widget and return to the iBook. I realise that a widget can alternatively be closed with a two-finger gesture, but for simplicity in view of my target audience prefer to have the "exit button". Note: I am relatively new to iBooks Author, and totally new to iAd producer. Unfortunately I don't know how to script in Java or HTML yet, but am willing to learn. Can anyone please give me some pointers?

Thanks! The button didn't appear in the preview in iAd producer, so I didn't realize it was there. But I tried my widget in iBooks Author and the button is there. Thanks again!

How To Use a Custom Close Button In Window Component

Hello,
I have a window component, with the default close button
turned off, and a new custom close button added to the movie clip
that is displayed inside the window component. How do I get a click
on the close button to close the window?
This is the code I currently have to create the window (and
the listeners to close the window using the default close button):

basicalyyou have to use
myWindow.deletePopUp();
if my memory serves the content mc is loaded into a mc called
contentHolder, inside the window component, so
if you are referencing the window from the scope of your
loaded mc it will be
this._parent._parent.deletePopUp();
or if from the button's scope
this._parent._parent._parent.deletePopUp();
try traceing the parantage down til you hit the window.

How to create subpicture for a button?

Hello!
I have really tried to find the answer to this rather silly problem on my own, but without result. Please help someone!
The situation:
I have a menu with three choices: "Play Movie", "Scene Selection" and "Subtitles". Now, the text presenting these choices are part of the background image, created in Premiere (the program I know best). They are written with an old typewriter to get that gritty feeling.
I want the user to scroll between these "menu items". The currently selected item should be indicated by a black circle/spot/dot before the text of the item. By default, when the menu appears, there is a black circle in front of (to the immediate left of) the item "Play Movie". The user should now be able to step with his/her remote to the other items, thereby making the black circle in front of "Play Movie" disappear and appearing instead before some of the other items. In short: the black circle is always showing before the currently selected item. OK, I got a bit verbose there, but the idea got across hopefully. One more thing: the background color is 100% white.
Up to this point, my solution was this: I placed black circles (small images with gradation and all, very nice looking) in front of ALL THREE ITEMS. Then I convert these into buttons. Then I choose the color set for the menu so that the unselected state is 100% white, plain and simple, with 100% opacity, thereby covering the black circles that should not show. Only in the selected and activated states does opacity for the button subpicture drop to 0%, thereby revealing the black circle that should be seen.
The problem? Well, on some DVD-players (not on the XBOX 360 though), when an item is activated, all three circles show for a brief moment before the selected action starts (for example playing the movie). It also happens in Encore Preview. This is not logical at all and looks amateurish. I don't know why it happens, but my guess is that it wouldn't if I did this the "correct" way: by creating subpictures fo the buttons in the shape of circles. I understand the nice looking gradations must go out the window but that is a price I'm willing to pay.
But now I run into an unexpected problem: I don't understand how to create a subpicture for the button that is a black circle. It seems the documentation in Encore and on forums in general takes for granted that you know how to do this.
What I tried ws this: I created a monochrome, small image in bmp format - a black circle on white background. But this image just shows up as a black rectangle in Encore.
What should I do? I should add that I have no real experience with Photoshop, so go slow if you go there.

Nikolaj

Basically, when one realizes the limitations of the Sub-picture Highlights, as set by the DVD-specs., it's easy to see the "workaround."
A couple of the aspects of Sub-picture Highlights are:
1.) 2-bit color (either ON, or OFF), from a limited color palette, with degrees of Transparency (the opposite of PS's Opacity).
2.) they will appear on top of anything else on the Menu, including things like Button text/graphics.
By constructing your Sub-picture Highlight in PS, you can use Masking to define where it will be, and where it will not be. In the case that prompted my article, the poster had a series of Text Buttons, and the Sub-picture Highlights were formed from that Text. The poster did not like the look of those 2-bit jagged blocks of color overlying the Text in the Button. The workaround is to "punch a hole" in the Sub-picture Highlight, so that it is hollow, where the Button's Text appears. This is done in PS, by using the "outline" of that Text to create a Mask for the Sub-picture Highlight. The jagged aspect can be adjusted a bit, by using a degree of Transparency (set in the non-Auto Color Set back in Encore). We still have a 2-bit color Sub-picture Highlight, and it still overlays the Button's Text, but now there is a hole in it, right where the Button's Text is located, and it is seen through that hole. The introduction of Transparency has the visual effect of "softening" the look of the 2-bit color, even though the jagged edges are still there - they just look softer. I went on to show how one could even use a second Sub-picture Highlight, that is just a bit larger than the first, and with more Transparency to simulate a "glow." Now, we cannot have a real "glow," because we are limited to that 2-bit color for the Sub-picture Highlight, but we can simulate it.
Much of what a designer does is really slight of hand - illusion. They all have to work within the limitations of the DVD (or BD) specs., but with a bit of creativity, planning and some work in PS and Encore, they can create enough smoke and use enough mirrors to fool the user into believing that what they think they see skirt the DVD-specs. They do not, but that's where the illusion comes in.
We get a lot of questions from people, who claim that one commercial DVD, or another, has full-color Sub-picture Highlights and they complain that Encore cannot do that - only 2-bit Sub-picture Highlights. What they are seeing, but do not realize it, is a dupe Menu, with a full-color graphic, and no real Sub-picture Highlight visible. Jeff gives full details on doing this. Same for those who have seen a Button with a duo-tone thumbnail, that turns full-color, when the Button is navigated to. Wow, how did they do that, and why can't Adobe Encore do that? Well, what they saw was a dupe Menu, with a full-color thumbnail and no visible real Sub-picture Highlight.
Jeff shows how to create what appears to be at least a 3-color Sub-picture Highlight. It's really just 3 regular 2-bit color Sub-picture Highlights, with Masking to create the illusion that he beat the DVD-specs. Neat! [Being from the USA, I also liked that he used the US flag, but he could have chosen the French "Tri-color," or any other flag, without artwork.]
These are all just tricks, but if the user buys into the illusion, who's to know?
Enjoy,
Hunt
PS - though many of the great, older posts were lost, when the forum changeover happened, I strongly suggest reading the posts here. You can bypass ones that do not offer you anything, but almost every possible illusion has been discussed at least one time, and likely many, with some different workflows offered by those, who replied. Great reading.

How to create a 3-state button (similar look as OK button) that toggles between 3 different colors.

How do I create a 3-state button that looks similar to the OK button except it changes to 3 different colors every time it is pressed. Does anyone have such a control ready for use that I can just drop in my front panel?

With a picture ring you can implement a 3 color button without any code. Look at the attached customized control.
I have imported the picture of a boolean in three different items and
colored them. I centered the text and hide/made transparent uneeded
graphic elements. I set the size of the decrement arrow to cover all
the picture and made it transparent so when you click on the control
you decrement the value of the ring and change the picture/color
Edit: you'll notice that the picture is not fullt covered by the
decrement arrow so if you click near the bottom of the button, the
picture ring will show its normal behavior displaying all 3 available
items
