How to create Manual Slideshow Button

Hi, I'm trying to have a manual slideshow
controlled by a single simple arrow button
to either advance or go back
I've already converted my slideshow to track
and on the first track/chapter marker I've selected
Button Highlight Marker
How do I now create a button that lets the user
browse all 60 slides manually?
thanks

Sorry this reply isn't about creating mannual slideshow button, but it might help solving what you want. You said you want to "lets the user
browse all 60 slides manually".
What I did with my slideshow:
1. Drag all the photos in the slideshow
2. Check all the boxes "PAUSE" (this way the photo will stay still until the user press "next" of "previous" button in the the remote/ dvd player controller button)
3. Duplicate the last photo (by dragging from the DVDSP browser)and put it after it's clone.
4. DON'T check the box "Pause" for this duplicate
5. Set the duration for this duplicate to 15 frames (00:00:00:15)
Set the slideshow to "jump to xxx menu" when finish.
Now, what happen is, when the slideshow starts, the user will see the first slide freeze, and they will manually go back or forth from the player control (not the button on the dvd menu). When it come to the last slideshow, and they hit "next" it will transist to it's clone (that you duplicated), this clone is set to automatically transist after 15 frames and jump to XXX.
To make the users more aware of the "possibility of going back and forth", or simply to tell the user what the next/ previous slide is, you can create dummy "button" (I just do it with arrow symbol or text "Next" and "Previous") in the appropriate position on the slide. This "button" is only to tell the user there is a next and previous, it doesn't interact. But what it does is making the user press "next" and "back" in the controller.
I hope this help.

Can't figure out how to create a Slideshow

I've read the online Help instructions. Read the Apple Support instructions and I just don't understand them. I'm new to iDVD and that's probably the problem. Can anyone send me detailed instructions on how to create a slideshow using my photos in iPhoto?

Why the limit of only 99 photos in a slide show?
Well the answer here deals more with Video DVD specifications than iDVD. The way iDVD builds slideshows each slide is more like a separate chapter, since these can have navigation buttons.
And here are some details of DVD authoring from http://www.dahnielson.com/dvdprimer.html
A DVD comprises of one or more video title sets, abrevated VTS, that contain the video and audio information as data streams. Each disc can have up to 99 VTSes, and each title set can be subdivided into 99 chapters.
So it is the way iDVD build the slideshows in "chapter-like" manner that limits you to 99 slides......going from iPhoto using Quicktime export or "Send to iDVD" quicktime avoids this limit. But you can use the iPhoto "Send to IDVD" with slideshows without the 99 limit....so you can put them on DVDs....

You should use jdev to define a radiogroup and radio buttons under that, wrap that definition inside a stackLayout in jdev, use personalization to add a stackLayout and extend the region which you had created earlier in jdev.

How to create a custom Button in a SNP planning book

Hi Experts,
I created my own Planning Book and Dataview in SNP with 3 Key Figures: KF1, KF2, KF3. Now I want to create one my own button with Macro so that when I press that button, the Macro will run to calculate: KF3 = KF1 + KF2.
I know that I can drag this Macro to one of default events like: Default, Level Change, Start. But actually, I want to create my own button so that I can handle the event as I want.
My question are:
1. How to create a custom button on the toolbar of SNP Planning book and writing macro for the button?
2. Please give me any document, material teaching about writing macro and relating to my above scenario.
Thanks very much!

Hi,
Access the transaction "/n/sapapo/advm". In the list select your planning book/ data view and click 'Start Macro Builder' button.
In the Macro builder screen, drag and drop your macro from Macro depot to the work area.
Right click on your macro name and select 'properties'. In the pop up, next to the Assigned Push button field, there is a button 'Choose'. Click that. It will display all the available icons. In standard system, it displays more than 1000 icon. Choose any one icon which is suitable for your macro function. Close the pop up and save the macro. This will assign a push button to your macro.
In the Planning book tool bar, you can see the selected icon in the header tool bar. Just by clicking that icon, you can execute the macro interactively.
And I don't know whether we can include/design our own icon. But there are already 1000+ standard icons to choose.

How to Create a Persistent button on the top HTML gallery

Hi,
In my InDesign Folio I have an article with full page HTML photo gallery. The photo grid occupies the full screen. I want to create a Persistent button on the top of this gallery which user can tap to go to the Main Menu page. This button is always visible at one place even as user scrolls up and down the gallery. I tried creating it on the top layer, and on the top layer for Master page, but the button disapperas when the HTML gallery loads.
So the user does not see any button to navigate out of the gallery to another article.
Any ideas how to create the persistent button ?
Thanks in advance.
-MP

Depending on if you are using the HTML as either an article or in an overlay, you may be able to either use the standard navto and goto hyperlinks syntax or place a blank button on top of your link in the HTML.
I am not sure if using the standard navto and goto syntax will work between an HTML article and an Indesign article. Maybe Bob Bringhurst, Bob Levine, or one of the staff members can clarify. If you are using your HTML in an overlay, you can add a transparent button on top of your link or image to return to whatever page you like.

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Eric Steven Raymond
Rick Moen
Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal ? in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

How to create a custom button/ double button

First of all I am relative new to
Java 2D programming; therefore,
I am seeking some help and advice of
how to create a complex double button
a big one which is responsible for
the use case and a small one which
will show some help text if pressed.
| |
| Use Case _____________|
| / |
| | Help Case |
| | |
\ | /
A 3D effect should distinct and signify whether the Use Case
button area or Help Case button area is pressed.
I am looking for some example or best practice that
explains to me how to create a double button
so that it can carry or depict at least a:
1) Title
2) Subtitle
3) Pictogram (Graphic Icon)
4) Round or organic borders
5) 3D effect
Thanks in advance.

What you are asking here is something complex enough that nobody is going to explain it to you in one forum post. We are talking about creating your own custom button component. I would suggest you check out the book [Filthy Rich Clients|http://www.amazon.com/Filthy-Rich-Clients-Developing-Applications/dp/0132413930/].

ZLM00: How to create the logout-button?

LS.,
I am creating my own LM00 screens which work fine. There is one button hat I still have to add: LOGOUT.
Of course I can create the button and give it a functioncode, but what do I have to let it do to make the user logout?
I tried functions like:
EXIT, LEAVE TO SCREEN 0, LEAVE PROGRAM, LEAVE, RETURN, STOP, CALL TRANSACTION '/NEX'.
Also I tried to debug the original LM00 transaction, but it is not debuggable using /h /hs or /he.
I have also searched for function modules that log the user out, but did not find any.
Anybody any idea how to create the logout-button?
Best regards,
Tim van Steenbergen.

Got it.
Functionmodule SAPGUI_SET_FUNCTIONCODE does some part, but only works for a dialogsession. When trying this on a scanner, it did not do anything because this interface does not have a transaction box to enter the functioncode in.
The trick that worked was call 'SYS_LOGOFF'.

Need to learn how to create a slideshow in Flash

Hello All,
I'm new to Flash and I need to learn how to do a slideshow with exactly the same features as can be found in this link:
http://www.esppromo.com/index.asp
Just like at the link above, it needs to play through the slides automatically once the page is loaded, each slide needs to link to a specific URL, and I need controls similar to the boxes at the bottom so the viewer can click on any specific slide they wish to view (I'd like to have numbers in the boxes though). The transitions don't have to slide across like this. If a fade is easier, that would be fine.
Since I've looked online, but can't find any tutorials for doing this in Flash Professional, I think I'll pick up a book on Flash. There are some online tutorials that are close but nothing that is exactly what I'm looking for.
I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a particular book that covers creating this type of slide show with the links and controls exactly as I need it to be. I see these types of slide shows on a lot of sites now, so I'm hoping that maybe someone else on this forum has had to learn how to do this and can recommend a book they used?
I was looking at Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book and it looked like it may be what I'm after, but I am rather cautious, as I don't want to end up with instructions that are close to what I am looking for, but not quite right.
Actually, I thought I'd be able to do this fairly easily with Flash Catalyst, so I updated to Adobe CS5 Design Premium. I found that Flash Catalyst can be used to create a slide show like this, but unfortunately it won't play automatically when the page loads and the viewer has to manually click through the slides, which is not what I need. I could be wrong, but from what I've read, I need Flash Builder to add code so the slide show will play automatically if I create it in Flash Catalyst. Since it's not an option for me to buy more software at this time, I've decided to learn how to do this in Flash Professional.
I really want to learn how to do this. I expect to go on and create more using Flash, but for now I just REALLY need to figure this slide show out.
If anyone can help out, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks,
William

Edit:
i'm sorry. it is a huge work to type this and will be confusing as hell. i'm already up to 1 full word page of explanation. Though i am able to do it, explaning it in full lengh is ... well.. very hard. Way harder than it is to make your flash itself.
I can however point you to some element you should read about how to make them:
- How to use timeline in flash cs4
- how to create a button in flash cs4
- How to make "CLASSIC TWEEN" in flash cs4
- How to use ActionScript 2 ( AS2) basic command like : GetUrl, Gotoandplay, Stop and how to put those script in the right location. ( AS2 allow you to put script directly on the button itself. however it is best to put it in the Action Layer that you will have to build in the timeline.
- How to import thing in library.
keep in mind that what you want to make is mostly a Logic probleme...
- Image 1 click = GetURL X,
- After Y time, Switch image 1 to image 2 with animation. Do the same for the button.
- If you click on button 1 while being on image 3, you have to set all the reverse animation in the timeline, and use a lot of Gotoandplay.
Hope this help you a little.
I'm sorry. i really wanted to help you do it, but it is just a monstruous job to write all this.

How to create a rollover button effect in Captivate 7?

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Captivate 6 to Captivate 7 and am curious to know how I can create a rollover state for a SmartShape button. Basically, let's say I have a SmartShape being used as a button. What I want is to have the button have a glow effect and a shadow effect each time the mouse is hovered over it. Is there an easier way than having two objects on the slide -- one as the normal state and one the mouse hoever image. What I'm thinking is that the mouse hovered state image will have it's 'Visible in Output' set as unchecked and I can use an Advanced Action to show the object on mouse hover. Perhaps I can have the mouse hovered state image as a rollover SmartShape too?
Nonetheless, this looks like too much work. If I have 10 clickables on the page for which I want rollover effects, I would need to have 10 additional objects with their rollover states -- just seems like too much, but perhaps that's the Captivate way. Or I am I missing the obvious?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

Most people would say the easiest way to achieve what you are talking about would be to just create your own custom image button in a graphics editor and give the Over state image having the glow effect that you want.
If you decide to go that route, this tutorial describes the process of creating an image button:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate/create-custom-image-buttons
Another possibility is that you can use the Infosemantics Event Handler widget to trigger an Apply Effect action and use the Glow filter as the effect.
However, this may require some tweaking since it's not that easy to time effects that are applied via an advanced action.
