Indesign roll over question

I have 2 images on a layout called "A" and "B". I Also have on the layout an image called "Button" with is a button. My 4th image called image “C” is the pop up image that pops up when the button image is moused over. I have placed image “C” on the very top. But when I roll over the button image, the “C” image only pops up over image “A” but not “B”. I have made sure images “A” and “B” are in the back and image “C” is in the front. How can I get image “C” to pop up over both image “A” and “B”. Thanks.

Thanks so much, Ken for your answer.

Roll over question

I'd like to roll over text on a page, and have it change in color, AND have an image show up on the page. Is there any way that I can do this?
Thanks in advance.

Fixed Image roll over question....

I am putting the finishing touches on my photography business site (www.colbybrownphotography.com) and came across an interesting problem. Instead of using iWEB's photo gallery pages (which I can't stand) I decided to set up my page as an art portfolio with an "art gallery" feel to it. The photos in my "home" section are set up as links so when I roll over them they list where they are redirecting you, but in my actually gallery they are fixed images. Is there any ability to add roll over text to those photos where I could possible talk about the particular photo that the mouse scrolls over? I knew I would be limited when I decided to use iWeb to put together my site but I have been surprised lately with at least a few of the ideas I figured would be out of its technical reach. Thanks in advance.

There's also this +Tooltip DHTML Library+. At the following link, mouseover the image there...
http://www.walterzorn.com/tooltip/tooltip_e.htm
...I don't know how easy these scripts are to incorporate into an iWeb site using +HTML Snippets+, but if you get them working, please post back here explaining how you did it.
The following thumbnail viewer is beyond what you were asking for, but anyway, click on the examples here and watch the captions drop down...

How do I make a textbox appear in a PDF made in InDesign CC when the cursor rolls over another textbox?

I'm trying to make a textbox appear in a PDF made in InDesign when the user rolls the cursor over another textbox, and I want it to disappear when the cursor moves off the first textbox. I've tried the following with various setting, and it's just not working for me.
Display a different button on rollover
You can create a hot spot in which clicking or mousing over an object displays another object. To do this, create two buttons, hide one of the buttons, and use the Show/Hide Button action to show and hide the target button.
Create an object to be used as the source button. In the Buttons panel, click the Convert Object To A Button icon.
Place the image you want to be used as the target button, and convert it to a button.
Select the target image and select Hidden Until Triggered at the bottom of the Buttons panel.
The image needs to be hidden in the exported document so that it can be displayed when the source button is moused over or clicked.
Select the source button and create two different actions, one to show the target image and a second to hide the target image.
If you want the image to appear when the mouse hovers over the source button, use the On Roll Over and On Roll Off events. If you want the image to appear when you click the source button and disappear when you release it, use the On Click and On Release events. In either case, use the Show/Hide Buttons action to display and hide the target button. See Make buttons interactive.
Use the Preview panel to test the buttons.

Here's more information about what I'm doing.
1. create text box with a little text
2. turn it into a button (Button 1)
3. create another text box with some text
4. turn this into a button (Button 2)
5. check "Hidden Until Triggered" for Button 2
6. For Button 1, select "On Roll Over" for Event
7. For Button 1, click + to add Action and choose "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms"
8. For Button 1, change icon next to Button 2 into eyeball (which I assume makes Button 2 visible on roll over).
9. For Button 1,, select "On Roll Off" for Event
7. For Button 1, click + to add Action and choose "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms"
8. For Button 1, change icon next to Button 2 into crossed-out eyeball (which I assume makes Button 2 invisible on roll off).
8. Export to PDF with modified smallest file size and include bookmarks and hyperlinks and include appearance for interactive elements.
Both buttons are visible in the PDF, and nothing happens with roll over and off.
What am I doing wrong?

How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

Hello,
Here is the problematic:
1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

Creating an interactive CV: mouse over / roll over pop ups, embedded documents and videos

Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to Adobe Acrobat Pro and new to this forum (1st post here!). Greetings from Spain... and apologies for grammar mistakes and misleading explanations (in advance). I have been checking this forum and googling quite a bit, but I do not get to many conclusions (maybe I sleep few due to our baby!).
I want to create an interactive CV with the following characteristics:
1) CV in 1 page in a PDF document (no problem here!)
2) Hyperlinks in the text which open embedded files (pdf of others) hidden to the viewer but which are in the pdf document. Possible? (I want the recruiter to receive just one file). Even better if they could be open in another window (doubt it).
How could it be done? I try add documents and they are attached at the end, so the original pdf gets to have more pages, all viewable.
3) Furthermore, mouse over / roll over pop ups which show you a preview of the file you may open clicking the hyperlink, for a quick view of the content.
I think that this may be done, but using other programs, like InDesign. I just try to add a document, but it's sort of a link to a document in my computer. I may add pdf, pps files.
4) Even more, would it be possible to embed a video which would open in a new window? If not, I tried to add a link to youtube and there was a warning as "this program tries to open a window, if you trust the owner... " (similar safety message) and the very last thing I want the recruiter to have to decide whether to decide to watch it or not.
I know its a questions in its very first stages, but the big point is to know if/what it is possible to do, so that I search in the right direction.
If you have any idea or advice (even if not related to PDF pro, of course), just please let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance. I hope this thread may help others.
Cheers,
tebanseeker

Hi Dave,
Thanks a lot for the input.
(3) Right, I could not find either a way using just Acrobat Pro (I'm using XI). Sad thing that you confirm it... But it looks like you may do it using other programs on the PDF, but I don't know to use them. You may take a look at this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEyJuT8SSME (popup rollovers using Illustrator)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOVRMVdZbVE (popup rollovers using InDesign)
(4) I think that embedding would make the file to big, so I may opt for the hyperlink to youtube option, even if I deeply dislike that message, although youtube is a reliable source for the viewer.
Any other input is very welcome. I am pretty illiterate in the field!
Have a nice weekend,
tebanseeker

Roll over balloons in eBay searches not poping up w/ Safari 2.0.4

Is there a setting or a technique to once again allow roll over balloons to pop up on eBay search listings? I'm referring to the "Enlarge" roll over link in the Gallery picture of search results. This is a "paid for" option that some sellers use.
I do not have "Block Pop-up Windows" checked off in the Security Preference window.
Firefox still allows this, but on both a Powerbook G4 and a iMac Dual Core using Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3) this feature is no longer working for me. (It had worked in Safari until three days ago...could I have inadvertaently changed something?)
For an example of a roll over balloon try searching eBay for an item of interest, and then scan down the resulting list. Typically a few items in large search results will have the "Enlarge" roll over below the gallery picture of an item being sold.
24" iMac 2.16 Dual Core Mac OS X (10.4.8) Also, Powerbook 17" G4 & Powerbook G3

Thanks again.
BTW... I just received this from eBay in regard to my questioning them about this problem. As you said, they seem to be disregarding Safari.
Dear eBay Member,
Thank you for writing eBay in regard to the problem you are experiencing
while trying to list your item using the Safari browser.
If you are using OS X 10.2.x or higher, I would like to suggest using
the Firefox browser. This browser seems to be the most compatible format
for Macintosh users for eBay Picture Services.
If you don't already have this browser installed on your computer,
please visit the following page to download the Firefox browser:

Once the page loads, please select which language you would like to
download, and click on the link under the Mac OS X column.
If you are using OS X 10.2.8 or older, I would then recommend using the
Netscape browser. If you don't have this browser installed on your
computer, please visit the following page:

Thank you for being a valuable member of the eBay community. Have an
enjoyable time shopping and selling on eBay!

Setting the order of a roll over image in a quiz

Hi,
I'm using captivate 4 and having issues in setting a quiz for my students.
I want to have an icon to roll-over so the students can access information relating to the question, eg, diagrams, tables, graphs etc.
I have done all this yet when the roll over image appears its order is set behind the question and answers, I need it in front. when trying to change the order, eg bring to front, all the options are grayed out and not available. Is there a way to fix this as I know I cannot use a slidelet in a question slide.
I have also tried to re-order the question and answer text, but is is also grayed out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Andrew

Hello,
You cannot insert interactive objects on any default question slide from pool or not. You will have to change the action to be executed on Success/Failure. There it is possible to jump to a slide.
Beware: you can never jump to a slide that is outside of the quiz 'scope'. This scope starts with the slide where you have the first scoreable object, which can be a question slide but also a button/click box/TEB with a score. The scope typically ends with the score slide. So be sure that the slide you want to jump to are in that scope. Eventually you can add a scoreable object (with a low score perhaps of 1pt) like a button or click box to the first slide of your project. If you keep the score slide as the last slide you will not have to worry anymore about the scope.
Hope this makes sense,
Lilybiri

"Roll over to try, click to apply" does nothing

I just did the latest Firefox update - no problems - but once again, after the last 2 or 3 or more updates, the "Roll over to try, click to apply" option to try out the new 'personas" does nothing. I remember when they first came out and I could roll over them and see all the cool personas. I never actually chose to apply one but now, as I said, when I rollover, nothing happens. I'd like to still see what they do. If so, maybe I'll eventually actually apply one. Any idea why it doesn't work?

Change roll-over color of combobox?

Hey everyone.
I have a simple question. What is the property of the combo
box component that can change the RGB value of the roll over of a
combo box to change it from the defalt green?

combobox.setStyle("themeColor", "0x990000");
put this code on your timeline where you have the compnent
instantized.
change name "combobox" to your component instance name and
change the hex color "0x990000" to color desired...you have to have
the "0x" before the hex for it to work

Roll over a small photo and above it (or beside) the large photo is displayed

Hi All
What is this called: When you roll over a small photo and
above it (or beside) the large version of the photo is displayed. I
would like to create a photo gallery that works this way. Could
someone tell me what this is called? Or better yet, where I can
learn how to do this? A free tutorial perhaps?

c2design,
> What is this called: When you roll over a small photo

I don't know that the phenomenon has one ultimately correct
name. I
might call that a "click to enlarge" or "rollover to enlarge"
effect.

Flash generally provides many ways to accomplish a desired
task. One of
the easiest ways I can think of to get what you're after is
to create a
button symbol. Put your small image (the "thumbnail," it's
usually called)
into the button's Up frame. Put the large image in the
button's Over (and
perhaps Down) frame. In the Hit frame, put a shape that
represents where
you want someone to roll over in order for the Over frame to
show.
Typically, you'd just put the thumbnail into the Hit frame at
the same
horizontal and vertical position it was in the Up frame.
You could also program this effect with ActionScript, but
since you
posted in the general forum, let's see what you make of the
button approach.
Write back if you still have questions. :)

Roll over buttons showing on all layers?

Hello,
I have created an interactive presentation in indesign CS4, I have a series of photos which all have roll over button states applied to them so they when you click the photo they will then show profile content for that photo. These are on separate layers and above the main content layer. When I export to Acrobat 9 the layers show in the correct order but when I then set the buttons up to show and hide the profile layer the photo button which is on a lower layer and should then be partially hidden by the profile panel but now sits on top of the content panel? Is this just the way it is in Acrobat or is there a setting in indesign I am missing as I did want the panel to pop up with a drop shadow etc you can still see part of the original photo underneath, is this achievable or do I then need to set a action to hide the initial photo button?
I have ran tests using just hyperlinks and these work and the photos then stay in the correct order but ideally I wanted to use rollovers.
Many thanks for any help.

Text buttons and roll over

Hi
I have text buttons and want to make the text bold when the user rolls over. (this is a menu)
Are there any other ways besides having the text as a master slide and then click boxes and roll overs, I realise I can do text buttons but there is a small icon that I need at the front of the text which will also need to be clickable.
thanks

Bold only when rolling over? That means that you will not be able to use it for HTML5 output? Only SWF is OK?
My first idea is to use the EventHandler widget of InfoSemantics (not free but you can download a trial version), because it can create a rollover event for your text button. Anyway you'll have to create a transparent text container (shape or caption) that has the Bold Text and appears when rolling over. If you don't want to go with that widget, you can simulate the same by using the Rollover slidelet (you'll need only the Area, can drag the Slidelet itself outside of the sldie), that has a rollover event that can trigger an action to show that previously hidden transparent text.
Welcome to the forum, just one tip: mention the version number (exact number, which you find under Help, About Captivate) when you post a question.

CC for roll over caption

Hello,
First of all. I just discovered this forum yesterday and
already find it extremely helpful. Like some others I also miss a
extensive manual, trial and error is not sufficient to discover all
the functionality of the product, but this forum answers lots of
questions.
Anyway, my question:
I have been able to add audio to roll over captions, but also
need to include close captions for it, as part of my audience is
not able to hear the audio. So far I only have been able to include
CC for the slide, not for individual roll over captions on the
slide.
Do I miss something, or is there a work around?
Thanks, Helga

Hi again Helga
A thought occurs here. You could instruct the user to click
for more information. Then the click would cause a jump to a
different slide where the audio played and closed captioning would
appear.
Orrr, thinking outside the box a bit, you *might* be able to
get what you want by using the new Rollover Slidelet object. Here's
how it might work. Create a Captivate project that will only be
used to display inside the slidelet. Configure audio and closed
captioning, then publish as a .SWF. Then drop that .SWF into a
Rollover Slidelet as an animation object. I've not tested this,
just thinking out loud. But it may be worth trying. I may do that
this evening...
Cheers... Rick

Get audio to stop when user rolls over / clicks on sidelet

So ive recorded some software simulation, then i want to add
in a sidelet, and when the user rolls over the sidelet i want the
slide and audio to pause until they close or roll off -- can you do
that. My question is a 2 parter, as in,i would like to know for
both, a rollover and a click as i may use both tecniques on
different slides

Hi Paco,
Here is an AS3 version for Captivate 4:

I don't have CP4 installed on this machine anymore so I haven't been able to test if it works or not.
