I need help duplicating a button

I have a button that I often have to put on forms, so I have a pdf with nothing but that button in it. Whenever I need to use the button I open the pdf, go into my forms tools, edit the form, copy the button, and then paste it into the pdf that needs the button. I'm looking for a way to streamline the process by using an action. My idea is that I can insert my button pdf as the first page of any other pdf, move the button from page 1 to page 2 (or duplicate it on to page 2), then delete page 1 leaving just my form with the button.
The problem I'm running into is that I can't find any way of moving, or duplicating my button on to page 2. I assumed I could do it with a script, but I haven't been able to get it done. I don't think creating a new button with a script will work since my button has about 350 lines of script already attached to it, as well as specialty images when rolled-over and pressed (though if there's a way to maintain those attributes I'm happy to try).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I appreciate the help. Because of the replies I received, I assume that I can't just move the button from one page to another, so I'm proceeding with your suggestion try67, and this is where I'm at:
My action now inserts my button page in the form, uses a script to get the icons from that button, and deletes the button page. The script also creates a new button on the first page of the form and sets up the button properties.
The problem I'm facing now is getting the javascript from my original button into the new button.
My current solution is to copy the original button's javascipt and paste it into my action's javascript. I wrap that script in a function called "buttonFunction" and then use the following code snippet in my action javascript:
function buttonFunction()
//about 350 lines of code
f.setAction("MouseUp","buttonFunction()");
I'm hoping there's a way to get the 350 lines of code into my newly created button without having that code written into my action script. Is it possible to copy my original button's javascript into a variable, then using that variable instead of buttonFunction()?
I'm hoping for something like:
var myScript = g.getAction("MouseUp");
f.setAction("MouseUp",myScript);
If you have any ideas, I would appreciate the help.

you can't use the button itself if you want to maintain the
DOWN state after
release as button automatically resets itself once the mouse
lives the HIT zone.
Use movie clip instead and on press simply send it to a frame
where there
is DOWN state like image.

I need help with a button animation!

Hi,
I hope someone can help with a simple-looking problem which
nonetheless has me stumped!
I have a feeling that I've missed something obvious.
I've created a movie clip to act as a button (I've called it
"abs_button") and placed it on the stage.
My main movie has one frame.
Within the "abs_button" movie clip there are 5 layers.
Labels, actions, default button state, rollover state and rollout
state.
Technically, default button state, rollover state and rollout
state could be on the same layer as they don't overlap, but I've
given each animation its own layer for clarity.
FRAME 01.
Default button state is one frame with a graphic of the
button. Just a label at the start ("abs_up") and a "stop();" action
at the end.
FRAME 02 to 31.
Rollover state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
("abs_over"), "stop()"; action at the end.
FRAME 32 to 62.
Rollout state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
("abs_out"), "stop()"; action at the end.
All animations were achieved with tweens.
My initial "abs_button" code:
on (release) {
getURL("targetPage.htm", "_self");
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_over");
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_out");
As it stands, the animation jumps to frame 1 of "abs_out" on
rollout.
I need the "abs_over" animation to always play through to the
end, as the "abs_out" is "abs_over" in reverse (i.e. image grows
large on rollover and shrinks again on rollout.
I've tried for 2 days to solve this, but I clearly need help.
My experiments with variables simply didn't work.
I would be grateful if someone could tell me where I'm going
wrong!
Thanks,
Andy

use this:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_over");
Since the code is attached directly to the movieclip, you
don't have to
identify the clip. A gotoAndPlay() function takes a frame
number or a
frame label name as its argument, never the name of the clip
that
contains the frame number or name.

Need help with Submit button

I'm needing a script that locks all of the fields once the submit button is pressed and it's emailed to someone else. Is that possible? Thanks in advance for your help.

Right now I'm using javascript to submit the form. I'm using
     this.mailDoc({
     bUI: true,
     cTo: [email protected],
     cSubject: ""
So I need to incorporate the script you gave me with this script that I'm already using?

Remove the code from all btns, as below paste it on main timeline
Also no need to load xml twice as dome in image container...
give an instance name to the outer container of btns - menumv
use following method to openURL, use same for all the btns..
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("links.xml"));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(e:Event):void
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
trace(myXML);
menumv.carbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openURL);
function openURL(e:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(myXML.car.url));

Need help with encore buttons - highlights

Hi All
I am seeking help with Encode CS5. I have a project working fine except that I dont have highlights for buttons, at least I think thats what its called. So when the mouse or remote control navigates up/down toa button it changes colour.
In the properties of my button, the highlight option is greyed out.
How do I apply highlights ?
many thanks
Chris Anderson

Hi Bill
Thanks for your reply.
Here are 2 screen prints. One from encore the other from photoshop.
First time I have inserted images, and they seem a little small on this message - if you have any problems reading I could email to you.
I have highlighted the first button - which is called 'Highlights' - same issue with all the other buttons.
Do you have to use photoshop to add highlighting? or can you do this in encore - i dont have much experience with photoshop.
Not sure how to check 'Color Set' ? can you tell me how to get that for you - same for transparency for states? - I havent experienced them or changed them as I dont know how to
Yes it was duplicated - have left a message not to reply
Thanks again
Chris

Need help withpop up button

I'm experimenting with a popup button which will be activated
by pressing on a small thumbnail picture. It opens up to a new pop
up window, but it is blank. What am I doing wrong here?
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('
http://www.angelfire.com/in/HansonArtGallery/newpaintingbig.html','newWin','width=350,heig ht=285,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=Yes,status=No,resizable=Yes,fullscreen=No');
NewWindow.focus(); void(0);", "_blank", "GET");

Try using something like this:
myButton.onRelease=function(){
getURL("javascript:Launch('
http://www.yourSite.com/')");
So, that means you need some JavaScript on your html page:
function Launch(page) {
OpenWin = this.open(page, "MYWindow",
"toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,
resizable=no,width=400,height=200");
I have some sample here:

Need help using flash buttons

Can anyone help me with flash buttons? I am trying to build
my first website, and my five flash buttons (inside a 5 col. table)
for page navigation work fine in testing all 5 web pages with
mozilla firefox, and they look the same on the index page when
testing with IE-7. However when I begin navigating to other pages
in IE-7, the flash buttons disappear, and the 5 cols in the table
where each flash button was placed now are not equal sizes anymore
like they are on the index page. In my files area on the right, I
notice 3 out of the five buttons I created have about 15 to 20
"generations" shown there, with numbers 1 through 15 or even more
to qualify them tacked on to the end of the names. Where do these
come from, and why are 2 out of the five only have 1 "generation"
each? I never expected this, and I think it has something to do
with the problem, but maybe not. Please help me if you can!

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
Your problem is caused by navigating away from the previewed
page. In
general, this is not a good thing to do, since root relative
links will not
work as expected when you do that (locally).

Need Help with Advanced Button Actions

I am a brand new Captivate 5 user and I have created a image button that I want to have a double action. When the user clicks on the image button, I want it to SHOW a new button AND SHOW another image. I used the Advanced Actions but it does not work when I preview project. Help!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Did you assign the advanced action to the image button as Success action? And the new button + the image have to be on the same slide, but with the status Invisible. You can not show hidden objects that are sitting on another slide then the slide with the advanced action.
If you want to have more information about advanced actions, I do blog a lot about them. Here is the link to my blog:

Need help rotating a button

I'm very new to Flash ans AS3, but here's what I've got:
I need my buttons to rotate on rollover and rollout. I've got
it pretty close to what I want, but not quite.
here's the code:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
homeGear_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,buttonRotateOn);
homeGear_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,buttonRotateOff);
function buttonRotateOn(event:MouseEvent):void
TransitionManager.start(homeGear_mc, {type:Rotate,
direction:Transition.OUT, duration:1, easing:Regular.easeInOut,
ccw:false, degrees:90});
function buttonRotateOff(event:MouseEvent):void
TransitionManager.start(homeGear_mc, {type:Rotate,
direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Regular.easeInOut,
ccw:true, degrees:90});
so as this goes: if I hold the mouse over the button it
rotates to 90 degrees and pops back to the starting position and
keeps rotating over and over again. I need it to stop after 90
degrees and hold that position. I'm guessing I should use a stop
action somewhere, perhaps as part of an "if" statement -still
learning.
also, when I roll out, the button rotates back to it's
original position, but disappears when it gets there. Obviously I
need it to hold.
-any thoughts?
thanks,
mike

Need Help with Navigation Buttons

Hi,
What I'm seeking should be straightforward for those of you
who have mastered ActionScript. (I'm using Flash 8 Professional.)
I have 84 photographs that progressively show one complete
rotation of a photographed object (a model airplane). What I'm
envisioning are a pair of buttons. When the "forward" button is
pressed, the plane would rotate clockwise, and stop rotating when
the button is released. Same for the "reverse" button, but the
action would be counterclockwise. In that way, the viewer can
control exactly what angle to look at.
I assume I'd put each of the photographs on a Flash frame and
use ActionScript on the buttons to make Flash go through the frames
as described above.
Please let me know what the AS code would be, or perhaps
provide a link to someplace where it is explained.
Thanks!
Bill

kglad,
I (think) I followed your instructions. The airplane rotates
fine when the forward button is pressed, but nothing happens when
the backward button is pressed. I’ll describe exactly what I
did, in case I did something wrong.
1. I drew a small dot off stage, made it into a movieclip
object, and gave it the name apMC.
2. On the movieclip timeline, I created a keyframe for each
photo and dragged the photos from the library onto the keyframes. I
placed a stop() code on the first and last movieclip frames.
3. On the main timeline, I created three layers:
“Movieclip”: Onto the first frame of this layer
I copied/pasted the code that you provided.
“Button Labels.”
“Buttons”: I created the forward and backward
buttons, giving them the instance names you suggested.
Any thoughts as to why the backward button doesn’t
work? If you wish, I could send you the .fla file to examine. If
so, let me know where to send it.
Thanks!
Bill

Need HELP - Duplicating a DVD (movie)

Is anyone able to help me copy a movie onto my macbook so I can place it on my ipod? Please!?!?!?

Hi DWSLAS,
You may not be allowed to duplicate the movie, but you are entitled to make a backup of it. I use a neat little program called Handbrake follow this link to download it and it will do exactly what you want! Good Luck!
