Image inside a custom widget

Hello fellow Muse creators
Suppose I want to make a widget that allows users to specify whether (with a bool) users could collapse ( — ) or close a widget ( X )?
This is only for prototyping purposes so I don't need the logic for expanding/collapsing this content, but what I really need is a widget that can be configured with title (already in place) but so far I can't figure out how to load a graphic, in this case two, that presents these options. Again offering the option to make the widget collapsable or minimizable.
Thanks

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
The Close option in the OOUI resembles what I am looking to create.
Is there a way to learn how that specific widget was coded? I can't seem to find in the Muse Applications folder any references to widgets.
Thanks

Is it possible to force links inside a custom widget to open in Safari instead of within the widget?

I'm just starting to get into working with iBooks Author, so apologies in advance if this is a FAQ. I've search the forum and the web but haven't been able to find an answer.
I'm trying to link out to an external resource from within a custom widget I've created.
Instead of opening in Safari, the link is opening within the widget overlay. There are no browser controls, the content doesn't scroll and there's no way to get back to the widget's original content without closing and reopening the book. Closing and reopening the widget doesn't reset the widget state.
I can work around this if I have to, but I'm hoping someone here has a solution.

I'm looking for an answer to this too. I found that you can do this in a normal Dashboard widget with widget.openURL("...") but for whatever reason the openURL method isn't available in iBooks. Still looking for a solution...

Can an image in the slideshow widgets be moved around inside the bounding box as can be in a normal image placed into Muse (double clicking on a placed image gives the functionality to move the image around - as per Indesign functionality)

How can I get an ucropped image in a Custom Package when using Stroke and/or Border??

How can I get a picture in a Custom Package that has a Stroke and/or a border and get the image shown fully, and not cropped in one way or other?
When I add the stroke/border it adds them inside the cell, thereby altering the ratio of the area for the picture inside it, which crops it in some way. How can I get the image to be uncropped? The controls available seem to all be for the ration of the outside of the cell, but my image is inside the stroke/border and nothing seems to work on it directly ...
Many thanks,
Gary

Perhaps I misunderstood your requirement. I have been frustrated by LR print module and labs effectively squeezing individual shots into existing frames. So I have used LR2Mogrify to export (and then re-import) a 'new image' which manages the discrepancy between a crop and a cell of a different aspect ratio by adding padding - usually 'white' - around the image to a canvas corresponding to cell dimensions. Adding stroke borders can be accomplished in Mogrify inside or outside the image. A custom package, with multiple cell dimensions can be populated with images created in the corresponding aspect ratio(s) for the relevant cells.
I'm not aware of a way of automating the creation of cells in a page to dimensions which change with the crop as discovered - drag and drop images onto a blank page creates cells of the same standard size.

How to edit image mask in Gallery widget

When I place an image into the Gallery widget the image receives a mask.
I am trying to edit this mask, but it doens't do any thing. I only can move the image inside of the mask, I can't edit the size of the mask.
Does anyone know how this is be done in iBooks Author (I know this feature from other Apple software like Pages or iWeb).
Or does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks

Custom widget triggers - or call widget functions

The title says it !
Take for example three scenarios:
1. We have a lightbox display with several slides. Each slide has interactive content like buttons. Some of the buttons will cause the lightbox to close but at the same time we need the close button. So, more than one close buttons.
2. We need to navigate between slides in a certain order, so on the first slide, we dont need the previous button although it will have to appear as soon as we move on. Likewise, the next button should be removed on the last slide.
3. After opening a slide in a lightbox we want a css animation to play. The css is created externaly, its put into assets and linked from an html object. But when and how would we call the animation to start? The css fires up as soon as stuff is loaded but we need it to play exactly after the slide is brought into view.
• So the question is clear: Is it possible to do those from inside muse, or we need to create custom widgets from scratch? Like with jquery maybe.
• Is there a way to alter the default muse scripts, or simply call widget functions from our buttons? Example: button calls lightbox.close() or lightbox.next(); etc...
I'm sorry if it has been asked before, i just couldn't find something the way i've searched it. Maybe I'm asking the wrong way but I believe its clear. Anyway, there is not need for muse to do everything, if someone has a workaround would be also welcome!
Thanks alot!

Hi Fabrice,
You should be able to use the cpCmndGotoSlide variable. I suspect that the problem is something with your path in Flash.
Can you post an excerpt of the code you use for your buttons in the Flash widget?

Custom Widgets

Chandrashekar, Alaiah <[email protected]> wrote

Do anyone know about developing custom widgets in Forte. I have a
situation were I need to develop a Ruler widget which is very similar
to the Line widget provided by Forte. I tried subclassing it from the
Line widget and it does not allow me to do that. IM(NS)HO, one of the (few!) real weaknesses of Forte is its barrenness,
in the genealogical sense -- most of its objects, including, apparantly,
all the graphic ones, can't have children. My particular graphic gripe
is the lack of a spin widget, but I sympathise.
In SOME cases you can get the "moral equivalent" of subclassed widgets
by other means. These include (but are not limited to!):
* Subclassing non-graphic objects to get a custom display (e.g. a
subclass of IntegerNullable that displays itself as Roman
numerals). I suspect this approach does not meet your needs.
* Writing non-graphic manager objects to manipulate a bunch of graphic
objects in standard ways to make them "look" kind of like a
custom graphic object. For example, one way to get a ruler might
be to put a panel on your window, and create a non-graphic
object that draws appropriately in that panel, and (using an
event handler which must be manually registered) responds to
events in it.
* Create a window that's just one big ruler, and nest that window in
whatever window you want to display a ruler. This is how I
simulated a spin widget.
When choosing among the last two alternatives, I go for the latter, more
out of habit than anything else. I believe that with a nested window you
get a simpler object; but on the other hand you can't usefully nest a
window in an array field (it simply doesn't function) or a mapped
CompoundField (it'll function just fine, but won't automatically update
the mapped object unless you do something to explicitly tell the nested
window what it's supposed to be updating).
You will find a sample app using nested windows in

HI
The buttons used in the Program displayed by your link are mostly images used in the buttons, especially for the toolbar. So may have to get out your drawing board and start creating yorur own images. Also the button used for the inner frame, is something that can be achieved by creating a new look and feel for your application. Check out the Code Examples in you sdk, the MetalWorks example in particular. Go through all the looks and feels provided for that application and try to come up with your own, so that you frame buttons will look fancier.
Also search the net for IFrame. I can't remember the site where it is located but it provides you with Java classes for custom JFrames which a have very powerful and interest appearances.
These should get you on your way. Do remember:
1. Images for toolbar buttons and normal JButton
2. Custom Look and Feel for JFrame buttons
All the best.

I am trying to create a polygon shape and place an image inside of it.

I am trying to create a polygon shape and place an image inside of it similar to this: http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/1f/47/51/1f4751aeb7c30099e4caf61393990fca.jpg
How do I go about doing it? Thanks!

Hi
You would need to design the image outside of Muse using any image editor like photoshop , where apply polygon frame on top of the image and area outside shape should match the color of the image of page, then insert the image on Muse page, it would be same effect. Currently we cannot create any shape in Muse , but you can try some customization using custom code.
Thanks,

Is possible to write a custom tag inside another custom tag ??

Hi
I�m trying to reduce the time needed to code mi app presentation layer, it uses some custom tags with certain configuration, i would like to know if its possible to do something like this inside my custom tag doAfterBody().
public int doAfterBody() throws JspException {
          JspWriter writer=bodyContent.getEnclosingWriter();
          try {
               writer.print("<customTag:myAnotherTag someEspecificConfigurationParams="someEspecificValues"/>");
          } catch (IOException e) {
               pageContext.getServletContext().log("Error: "+e.getMessage());
          }return SKIP_BODY;
     }The goal is to simplify the jsp code because the configuration params for the custom tags (css styles and similar) are allways the same.
That don�t work, it simply prints <customTag:myAnotherTag/> in screen but the tag is not evaluated, i�ve tried too something like
public int doAfterBody() throws JspException {
          if (repeat) {
               JspWriter writer = bodyContent.getEnclosingWriter();
               try {
                    writer.print("<customTag:myAnotherTag/>");
               } catch (IOException e) {
                    pageContext.getServletContext().log("Error: " + e.getMessage());
               repeat = false;
               return EVAL_BODY_AGAIN;
          return SKIP_BODY;
     }And it doesn�t worked worked. Maybe using the taghandler classes and calls to the doAfterBody could make it work, but when you need to nest tags it could be a little hell of coupling calls, so before doing it i would like to know if what i want is possible. After reading some books i tought it could work because the stack of out objects, but i can�t make it work.
Another idea is to inherit from tagHandler and override some properties in the tags, but i don�t like the idea to much.
So, can anyone help me??
Thanks.

You cannot do that and I have listed out the reason and a possible solution in this post http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=697243 from yesterday.

I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button but can't. Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. It is the 2014 release of adobe illustrator. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button.
I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/colored pencil drawing, in to the document. I have tried scanning and then placing it as a jpeg, bitmap, and tiff file. I have tried scanning and then placing it, in color and in black and white. The scan mode I use is flatbed. Adobe illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of eleven preset buttons (e.g high fidelity photo), but it does not allow me to click the custom trace button. The custom trace button is grey while all the other buttons are white.
Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

It seems pointless to adjust it afterwards because it is then only a couple a pencil lines rather then a full drawing. And how do I adjust it afterwards? Would I do this using the different buttons under the window button?

How do i get a placed image to appear as image inside a layer?

There is a long winded reason why I want this, but in essence I am trying to replicate another artwork that has been supplied to me.
When I place a Photoshop image (TIFF / PSD etc) how can I get it so that it simply appears as <image> inside the relevant layer (screen shot attached)
I am finding that when I place an image I do not get this

That's what I had assumed. It just doesn't seem to be working for me. You don't think there is a Preference setting that might disable it?

How to render a video from image sequence with custom frame rate?

Dear all,
For a project i would like to create a video from 47 images with a custom frame rate. To achieve this i take the following steps in Photoshop CS6 extended:
1) File -> Open...
2) Select the first image and select " image sequence ". All images have the same size (1280 x 1261 px) and are numbered correctly.
3) Click open
4) Frame Rate: Custom 3 fps
5) File -> Export -> Render Video... -> Render
6) Play the video with VLC. The video shows a still image of the first image.
If i choose a frame rate of 10 fps, then there is no problem. VLC plays the video as expected.
Is there a other way to create a video from 47 images and choose a custom frame rate? Or what am i doing wrong?

Can I place a (Rectangle Tool) container filled with an image in an (Accordion) widget and make it clickable?

Is it possible to use the Rectangle Tool to create a container, fill the container with a graphic image, place the container and image in an Accordion widget space and make the container clickable to open and close the Accordion?
I've done this but the container isn't clickable, only the other areas of the Accordion window are. Can this be done?

You can use the image as fill for label of accordion which will open the container on click.
If this does not answer your question then please provide me an example where I can see what exactly you are trying to achieve.
Thanks,
Sanjit
