IDVD - cursor change on button mouseover?

I'm creating a dvd with hidden "easter eggs" - buttons with no text and no image that you have to click on to access. It would make them easier to find if I could make the cursor change when they are hovered over - does anyone know if this is possible or if there's a plug in I need?

There is one way to do it - create a button with either a symbol or text, and make it the same colour as the background. Obviously this works only if you have a background with solid colours on it.
The button (text or symbol) will still be highlighted with your selected highlight colour when you "mouseover".
I don't think you can create a button containing an invisible character (such as a non-breaking space) but I've never tried it. If this worked, the button would never be visible, selected or unselected, but would still navigate.

  • Need Help Please with Flash Professional - No Cursor Change on Buttons/Links in Mac OS

    Hi Folks, I am relatively new to Flash Professional but I recently built a very nice flash website with very little problems.  I noticed after I uploaded my site to my server, that my mouse cursor did not change from an arrow to a finger on any of my buttons.  It did change on the hyperlinks, but not on the buttons.  Everything still worked fine but there was no indication to the user that an object was in fact an interactive button.  I found this code:  button1.buttonMode = true; button1.useHandCursor = true; and inserted it for all my buttons and that seemed to fix everything, I tested the site on firefox, ie, and safari.  I am using a PC with windows 7.  When I went to check the website on a Mac powerbook, the cursor did not change on any of the buttons and it does not change on any of my hyperlinks either.  I have searched all over trying to find a solution and have had no luck.  Can anyone please help me with this problem or point me in the right direction?  Any advice would be very much appreciated.  Thanks so much!!!

    Thank you so much for replying!  I did in fact let flash professional create the HTML page for the site and have not altered it at all.  Would you have any other suggestions as to why it's not displaying my links/buttons on a Mac?  I checked out the browsers Firefox, ie, and safari on my pc, but looking thru safari on the Mac, the cursor does not change on any of my links or buttons.  Thanks again so much for the reply, nice to hear from a human instead of reading thousands of posts!  Very much appreciated!!!!!

  • RollOver/MouseOver cursor change bug in external loaded swf

    I have a master movie with navigation that loads a external swfs. The external swfs serve different purposes and typically have a series of buttons that navigate the timeline. The external movies with their buttons work fine running individually. When the movies are loaded through the master movie, the buttons in the external movies looses the cursor change on rollOver. These are basic invisible hotspot - button symbols. The buttons typically navigated to different frames. I am curious why the cursor change fails when loaded through the main movie, but works when run on its own.
    I have done some searching in Google, but didn't find a similar issue. Any ideas? Throughout all the movies, I probably have over 200 buttons, I don't want to create rollOver and rollOut cursor changes for each. Again, these are basic button symbols.
    Any clues?
    Dave

    Actually, the some of the external movies were created with InDesign - which is the worst application for developing Flash content with.

  • The download button on the taskbar does ot open the window/tab/popup with my current/completed downloads. It seems like it is there as the cursor changes.

    I recently purchased a new Windows 8 laptop. On installing the newest version of firefox, I noticed that the download button on the address bar isn't functioning correctly. In other words, when I click it, the button "goes in" and my cursor changes to the pointing finger as if the popup window was there, but it is not visible. I a, left having to open the separate download window with CTRL J.
    If there is no obvious solution, is there a way to change the settings so the separate download window opens automatically, as this is what I was used to with older Firefox versions I used.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Change Image button when selected

    Hello,
    I want to change a button picture when the button is selected.
    Is this posible?
    And how can I do this?
    I have here a picture how I want it:
    So what I want is when de 5th buton is selected there will be another image visible.
    The first image he is dark and have his eyes closed en when he is selected the picture is lighter en his eyes are open.
    I hope someone can help me out.
    Thanks!

    You can use autoactivate to go to a different menu that has the different image for that button.  You would need to create multiple menus.
    Mouseover won't autoactivate, so doesn't work on a  computer the way you'd like.

  • Why the cursor changes only after moving the mouse?

    I have used the setCursor() on a JInternalFrame to change the image of the cursor. I change the cursor to Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR and back to Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR in a new thread. Then the only way for the cursor to change from WAIT to DEFAULT is to move the mouse, otherwise it will remain in WAIT status. What's going wrong?

    I am using version 1.1.2 in JBuilder1. I have an extended Dialog as an interface to change the Oracle Password. When the OK button is selected to complete the process of accessing the DB to make the change, I change cursor to the wait cursor before the DB is accessed. I have to move the mouse to trigger the cursor change to wait. I would think there would be an efficient way to do this. I would also appreciat some help. I'm not sure if this is a problem in later versions.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Changing quiz button text

    I am working on a series of tutorials and quizzes for our
    client, I want to change the text on the "Next" button on the
    quizzes. It appears easy enough, in the options, Next button text
    field, I have entered what I want, but it still appears as "Next"
    when I publish it. Am I an idiot?
    Please help.

    This may be a stupid question, but did you save the file
    before you published? I have sometimes had instances of not saving
    and publishing first and my changes are not reflected.
    Also, if the buttons were already on the screen with the text
    "Next" when you decided to change the button text, you'll need to
    delete those buttons and then add them again. The text does not
    update dynamically.
    Worst comes to worst, you can manually change the button text
    with a double-click or through properties...
    Hope that helps.

  • Possible to override the remotes "change audio" button?

    I'm creating a DVD that has multiple audio tracks for a single video track. I'm also programming in subtitles for the same track(French). The two audio tracks have different versions of dialogue. So, that means that I need two subtitle tracks – one for each audio. I understand how I can use stories and scripts to associate the proper subtitle track with the corresponding audio track,
    BUT
    my problem is this: it is necessary to allow the user to switch back and forth between the audio tracks whenever they want. So, if a French user is watching with subtitles on, and switches the audio using their remote mid-stream, then I need a way to change the subtitles to match the now-active audio.
    The best way I can think of to do this would be to hi-jack the functionality of the "change audio" button on the remote, and make it run a script that changes audio, then checks subtitle settings and changes them as well, if appropriate.
    Can this be done in DVDSP? I've found promising entries in the advanced connections display, but they don't respond to my initial attempts.
    Thanks for any help.
    Patrick

    Hey. Thanks. I hit a ton of pages searching, but missed that thread post. It's exactly the same problem. I suppose my only hope is, fingers-crossed, more DVD players support the targeted scripting of remote buttons these days???
    Well. I noticed there were several other programs mentioned in that thread, which I'm going to look up now, but it seems that this is a "supported by DVD players" problem rather than a "my program can't do that" problem.
    Something occurs to me. Is this a problem that could be circumvented by going to Blu-ray? DVD SP has a lot of buzz about supporting Blu-ray projects, would Blu-ray players be more likely to support this remote-based scripting???

  • Move/remove/change RSS button from next to refresh sign (Safari 4.0.4)

    How to move/remove/change RSS-button location from next to refresh sign as I'm wasting alot of time everytime when trying to hit that refresh button?
    I know I can use keyboard to refresh a webpage, but I really like the easy to use stop/refresh button a-la Firefox (after combining them) in the left side next to the "previous/next page" buttons, and I really hate that RSS appearing on all those websites which provides RSS. I don't use RSS and I don't want to see it when browsing and using Safari.
    I hope there is a way to doing that, otherwise I have no choice but switching back to Firefox..
    Thanks!

    Thanks Carolyn,
    but the "debug" menu doesn't appear after running "defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1" command in terminal. I have Safari 4.0.4
    But the idea is great: now I only want to disable RSS.

  • Get Info "Change All" button doesn't keep the proper "Open With" app

    I have a small but annoying problem that appears in Leopard 10.5.2 (been there since original 10.5.0 install) that I have tried to troubleshoot but can't solve.
    The problem is:
    -With some of my file types, the wrong "Open With" application is displayed when I view a Get Info for that file type. So to fix this, I open a Get Info window on one of those types of files, and choose the PROPER default application in the "Open With" slot. This works, and then the new proper application name now shows in that slot. So then I click the "Change All" button and apply to all files of that file type. I receive the warning that I will be changing ALL files of that type. I choose "continue" because that is what I desire.
    However, once I do that, (click Change All, then Continue button), the old, wrong application name jumps back the Open With slot! So the new, correct application choice doesn't "stick".
    Oddly enough, it sort of DOES work, because if I then re-click in the Open With slot, although the old, the wrong application is back listed again, if I look up above that name, then my actual desired application is listed in a list, and it has the word (Default) beside it.
    So if I do actually now double click any file of that type, then the proper application DOES launch and open the file.
    But why does the Get Info window still display the wrong, non-default application in Open With? And furthermore, this causes all file types of that kind, to display the WRONG icon in any Finder window. They of course display, the icon of what is in the Open With slot list.
    I am having this problem only with two file types and apps. (Cubase and Pro Tools---DAW audio apps). All of my Cubase files display a Pro Tools icon, and show as Open With: "Pro Tools" when of course it should display Open With: Cubase. As stated in the Open With list, Cubase is indeed there among other programs and it has the word (Default) beside it. So it sort of works when launching files. But I still cannot get Cubase to "stick" and stay in Open With after Change All!
    Can anyone offer any tips on what might cause this and what fix is needed?
    Thanks so much in advance!
    Wade

    Well, I tried rebuilding the Launch services with the command listed but still no luck. After having no luck with that and deleting caches, etc....I also, went to my home (user) directory and in Preferences, I deleted the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. I restarted and checked and still the same result.
    Also, I want to emphasize again that the file type I am discussing DOES actually launch with the correct application. (Cubase files in my example).
    But it is just annoying that ALL of my Cubase files display the Pro Tools application icon, and in Get Info they are listed to open with Pro Tools. But they actually do launch Cubase if double clicked.
    And one other VITAL note....if I open Get Info for one of these files, and change the Open With from Pro Tools to Cubase....then that choice DOES "stick" and retain. (if I "don't" also click Change All)
    It's only when I click "Change All" that it DOESN'T stick and the list selection jumps back to Pro Tools. I hope that may offer some clarity.
    Thanks for the tips but I am still back at square one.

  • How do you change a button's depth?

    I have several buttons that reveal large blocks of text on
    rollover. I would like the current button being rolled over to be
    the topmost button so the text block isn't obscured by other
    buttons. getDepth() shows me the button's depth, however
    swapDepth() appears to only work with movie clips. Is there a way
    to dynamically change a button's depth?

    It is because for some silly reason the Flash builders forgot
    to give the Button class the swapDepths() method. Of course most
    folks don't actually use actual buttons, but instead use movieclips
    with mouse events. But if you must....
    Button.prototype.swapDepths=MovieClip.prototype.swapDepths
    Put that on the first frame of code you have, you only need
    it once in a swf. It assigns the MovieClip class's swapDepths
    method to Buttons (which in some convoluted way are just a special
    kind of movieclip).
    I've used it before and tested it quite a bit, and never had
    any problems. But that doesn't mean that it won't break something
    behind the scenes. So use it at your own risk.
    The only other solution is to wrap the buttons in movie clips
    and then swap the movies.
