How to make transparent buttons in Encore CS6?

Hello all ~
I'm making a DVD for a corporate conference. I would like to use the company's logo for the navigation button on the DVD. There will be text indicating the menus, then the “logo button” will navigate to the text so you can select the menu you want. What I would like is this:
Button State 1 (static) – logo button would be completely transparent with no highlight.
Button State 2 (selected) – logo button would be visible with no highlight
Button State 3 (clicked) – logo button would flash with a highlighted color then go to the selected menu.
I have scoured the interwebs to figure out a way to accomplish this, and have had no luck. I have used archaic nomenclature (+, =1, =2), have fiddled with Menu Color Sets, and have even bowed down to Adobe’s infamous and unstoppable motto of “when trying to do anything with our software, it is going to take 12 utterly complex steps when really it should be simple” by trying to edit the button menu in Photoshop then round-tripping back to Encore. But alas all of this has been to no avail.
If anyone can help me with this, I would be most grateful. I have no doubt that it will happen, as you guys have been awesome in the past in solving these mysteries.
Thanks much,
SM

Hope this thread gets answered at some point so it can help someone else in the same situation.
The following is not really a response to the request to add an actual image as a highlight, but one method that will work for some situations. This uses multiple layers, one color per layer, to create a multicolor highlight.
I took part of one of our gallery logos, which is a multi-layer Illustrator file.
In Illustrator, I re-combined layers to create 3 layers (the red, the black, and the eye) and exported as PSD. So, from Encore, edit the menu in Photoshop, and we see the 3 layers stacked with the "eye" on top and the black markings over the red.
Each layer is a "single" highlight color layer. They are assigned, however, to different highlight prefixes (=1, =2, =3), so we can control the color using the Encore menu layer set.
In Encore, we set the menu properties for Color Set to "Menu Default" (not Automatic) and edit the menu color set. You can also save a custom menu color set.
The 1, 2, 3 correspond to the =1, =2, etc in the menu layers. You can set the color here. It does not matter what the color was in Photoshop. The logo does not appear in the "normal state" because all the opacities are set to 0%. It appears in the selected state with the opacity set to 47%. And appears 100% when activated. All buttons are set to Highlight Group 1, so group 2 is ignored.
So normal:
Selected:
and Activated:

How to make the buttons INVISIBLE in the Application toolbar

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a button in the Application toolbar of the Module Pool Screen. The field should be made Invisible by default. and it should be displayed based on one condition.
Could you please let me know how to make that particular button INVISIBLE. I think we can make it invisible by using EXCLUDING statement. But, How to make the button VISIBLE again when the check is satisfied.
I found from the portal that the FM 'VIEW_SET_PF_STATUS' can be used to make a button INVISIBLE. Could anyone help me out how to pass the parameters to this Function module?
or is there any Function Module available to make the button VISIBLE and INVISIBLE? Please help me on this issues.
Is there any possibility to make the button VISIBLE or INVISIBLE as we do for the screen fields using LOOP AT SCREEN..?
Thank you in advance.
Regards.
Paddu.

Hi,
Try to use below in the PBO module status_0100 OUTPUT.
DATA t_fcode TYPE TABLE OF sy-ucomm.
refresh t_fcode[].
APPEND 'Function code name of the button' TO t_fcode.
Check the condition here for which you want to make field visible.
DELETE FCODE of the button from T_FCODE table
ENDIF.
SET PF-STATUS 'STATUS_0100' EXCLUDING t_fcode.

How to make a button to stop and run a for loop?

How to make a button to stop and run a for loop? and if it is stopped it shall start from where i t stopped.

Your VI has some very fundamental flaws.
The start/stop button is outside the FOR loop, thus it will NOT get read during execution of the FOR loop, but only before the FOR loop starts. Think dataflow!
Thus the terminal of the start/stop button belongs inside the FOR loop.
Your FOR loop iterates 20x, which probably takes about a nanosecond. You will NOT be fast enough to reliably press the start/stop button during a specific iteration of the FOR loop.
Your code does not "stop and run" a FOR loop (sic). The loop always spins, but executes an empty case when "Stopped". I guess that's what you actually want?
Once you solve (2), the x indicator will contain a random value whenever you "stop".
As soon as the 20 iterations complete, the outer while loop spin an things start over, another nanosecond later.
Place e.g. a 500ms wait inside the FOR loop to solve this.
Don't place terminals of indicators on top of formula nodes.
Your formula does not produce any output, so really has no purpose.
Use a real "stop" button to terminate the while loop (mechanical action: latch when released). Right now you are using a plain switch, which does not reset to false before the next run. This means that you need to manually reset it before running the program again.
It is oftern useful to operate the VI in execution highlighting mode. You will immediately see that your button does not get read during execution of the FOR loop. Try it!

How to make a Button to work Actively even if there is a mandatory field..?

Hi All..
How to make a Button to work Actively even if there is a mandatory field to be fulfilled..???
I am badly in need of this logic, as i have to incorporate in my code..
Points will be rewarded without fail..

Hi Pavan,
I also faced the same requirement. U can do one thing like remove the obligatory keyword of that parameter/select-option. U can handle the same using the program in at selection-screen event. See this sample of code,
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b2 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_land1 for T005-LAND1 <b>[Needs to be mandatory]</b>                 no intervals no-extension.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_panid FOR zoindex_val-zopanid.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_effdat FOR zoexchrate-zedate.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b2.
*-- AT SELECTION-SCREEN
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
CASE sscrfields-ucomm.
*-- Obligatory Country Code
IF s_land1[] IS INITIAL.
    MESSAGE e050 WITH text-050.
                 "Please select the Country Code
ENDIF.
So whenever u do F8/Enter other than that push button, it will prompt u to enter the country code first then only u can proceed.
Hope this would help u in some way. Please do reward the helpful answers.

How to make "Utility" button in Printer Setup Utility available

There, i add a printer in the Printer Setup Utility and select it. i want to open printer utility, but the "Utility"
button in Printer Setup Utility is dimmed. In addition,
"Printer\Configure printer" in the Printer Setup Utility menu is also dimmed.
How to make "Utility" button in Printer Setup Utility available?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jiong,
That button is to acess the printer utility for that particular printer, not all printers come with a utility. If you have the disk that came with your printer, you can see if it has a Macintosh driver, if it does then it mimght have the utility with it. It's pretty hard to run the utility on its own, its burried somewhere in the system so that's why you have that menu item. You can alternatively go on the internet and download the latest driver, which might have a utility. All the utility will do will give you options to check nozzle patterns, alighnement, ink tank levels, and cleaning options - just mimnor maintenence junk, non-essentials, etc. I think Tiger just comes with a whole heap of generic drivers for different printer lines, can't say for sure.
I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you have a relatively old printer.
Hope that helps
DKR

How to make a button load a sprite from library??

PLEASE HELP!!
Hey everyone.. iv been looking for help for a few weeks but cant seem to find the awnsers
I am trying to create a newspaper that consists of four pages. Each page i have created and are sitting in the library as sprites. Each page has buttons that need linking so that when pressed it loads the next page or page that i want. This is the part i am confused with =/ how do i make the buttons on each page load the next page (sprite) from the library??
Basically i want to no how to make a button load a sprite from the library when clicked. Does anyone no the script for this?
Thanks for any help

A question arises as to whether or not you are posting in the right forum. Sprites are AS3 objects.
If you want to add movieclips to the stage from the library using AS2, then you need to assign them each an Identifier via right clicking them in the library and selecting the Linkage option... from there you slect the option to Export for Actionscript and then assign the Identifier.
You then use the attachMovie() method to make use of that Identifier to dynamically load the library object.

HOW TO MAKE ROUND BUTTON

HI PLS TELL ME HOW TO MAKE ROUND BUTTON ON FORM.

Rounded end buttons (e.g. Oracle Look and feel) are do-able in both 6i and 9i using PJCs in the 9i demos see the rollover button example, in 6i I seem to remember that there is a RoundedButton sample in the demos.
Both sets of demos can be downloaded from http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms.
If you want circular buttons then you'd have to use an Image for that.

I don't remember exactly, but you need to find a doc about
fscommand
paramers. There is such doc somewhere at Macromedia / Adobe
websites.
I saw it some time ago. The is a parameter like "mainmenu" or
so,
which can be "true" or "false". As far as I remember there
was such
thing.
> Second, Is it possible to export a transperent flash

Flash movie itself is "transparent" uless an explicit
background shape
is used. It is another question how to make Flash Player box
to be
transparent. Web browsers support so called windowless mode,
but Flash
Projector (SAFlashPlayer.exe) - does not.
Personally I use my own projector, written in Delphi, which
uses
special third-party component, supporting windowless mode.
There are
other tools, supporting it. Try to search Google for
"TFlashPlayerControl".

Make transparent "buttons" just for function?

I tried to make hyperlinks when I click text of vita, art,
statement, for example.
I just want to make sure what I am doing is right.
- Instead of making buttons for each of text ( i.e., vita,
art, statement),
- I will make one transparent "button" symbol (which means
just 0% alpha setting for color on Up/Over/Down but some color on
Hit state).
- then I will place this transparent button under the each
text.
- then, select each button, and make get URL actionscript.
Is this transparent button will work do you think?
One more question. If I put this button under "statement"
text, can I scale to make bigger enough to cover the text?
Or do you make each button symbols for vita, art, statement
of text?
Thanks in advance!

>> Instead of making buttons for each of text ( i.e.,
vita, art,
>> statement), I will make one transparent "button"
symbol
That's a good way to go. :)
>> (which means just 0% alpha setting for color on
Up/Over/
>> Down but some color on Hit state).
Actually, *all* you need is some shape on the Hit frame. The
other
frames can be empty. That makes it easiest.
>> then I will place this transparent button under the
each text.
I would place it over each text, not under.
> then, select each button, and make get URL actionscript.
Sure. Or any other action.
>> If I put this button under "statement" text, can I
scale to
>> make bigger enough to cover the text?
Absolutely.
>> Or do you make each button symbols for vita, art,
statement
>> of text? Thanks in advance!
No, no! Use one single button symbol -- that's the whole
point: one
symbol used for many purposes ... saves on SWF file size and
makes your
Library less cluttered.

transform

change the

That all depends on how you're handling those button events.
Back in
Flash 5 (that's quite a while ago), you had to use on() or
onClipEvent(),
but since Flash MX (aka 6), it's been possible to put all
your code into a
single script layer. This is the current recommended "best
practice," and I
agree with it. Just give each button instance -- in this
case, each copy of
that single "invisible" button -- an instance name. You
accomplish that by
selecting each button on the Stage, in turn, and filling in
the Instance
Name field in the Property inspector.
Then use each instance name in a frame script and assign a
function to
the Button.onRelease event for each:
buttonA.onRelease = function() {
getURL("
http://www.domain.com/page.html");
buttonB.onRelease = function() {
getURL("
http://www.domain.com/some_where_else.html");
// etc.

How to make a button stay down when I click on it in CSS nav bar.

So I have created a horizontal navigation bar, I use the CSS
Sprites/Pixy method to get the hover working with the same image as
the link/in active stage of the buttons.
Now how do I make the button stay down when someone click on
them?
These are the codes for the nav bar.
#nav{
width: 780px;
list-style: none;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
padding: 0;
height: 40px;
#nav li{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
float: left;
padding: 0;
#nav a{
width: 125px;
display: block;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
background-image: url(ZITTO_IMAGES/button_set1a.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center 2px;
padding-top: 14px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
background-color: #000000;
#link2,#link3,#link4,#link5,#link5,#link6 { margin-left:
6px;}
#nav a:hover{
background-image: url(ZITTO_IMAGES/button_set1a.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center -36px;
color: #FFFFFF;
width: 125px;
padding-top: 14px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
background-color: #000000;
Everything works so far, the hover works when you roll the
mouse but when you click the button goes right back.
How can I make it stay down and then go back to normal when
you click on another link/button?
Thanks very much.
Patrick

Read my suggestion again. You are missing a critical point. I
show you
exactly where to put the stylesheet. And it doesn't matter
how many
stylesheets you have on a page.

How to make a button appear boxed in when clicked

For my Prototyping class I have to make an interactive fast food ordering system. I have majority of frames made I just need to add the interactive part to it. I am using AS2 in Flash CS3. I have the picture and the text grouped and are classified as a button. I want to make it so that when the picture or text is clicked it will make a black box appear around it, making it 'selected'. I've tried to add an Event Listener but couldn't figure out how to make the box appear on it. Any suggestions?
These pictures are basically what I'm trying to accomplish.
Keep in mind, I'm a Flash newbie, I have a probably 3 hours experience with Flash.
But I do have knowledge of basic Java commands, so I can understand code.
Thanks,
Dudejoe04

Onw way would be to create the buttons as movieclips so that when they are selected you move the movieclip's timeline to a rame that shows the rectangle around it. Another way would be to have the movieclips as separate objects that you make appears when its associated button is clicked. There are likelynumerous other possibilities.

How to make a button show AND hide a field?

In an interactive form (with Adobe Acrobat X Pro), how can I purpose one button to:
1.) Show a field when clicked the first time
2.) Hide a field when clicked a second time
I seem to only be able to make a button do one or the other, but not both with the same button. Maybe an easier way to say this is I want to be able to have one button turn a field "on" and "off".
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Use this code:
var f = this.getField("OtherFieldName");
if (f.display==display.visible) f.display = display.hidden;
else f.display=display.visible;
