Integrated scroll panels and unmovable toggle buttons

Hey,
iam looking for an expert. I am working on an HMI development and wanted to use Flash Catalyst. However, I think I am already reached the limits of FC. But perhaps there is a FC solution because I can not program Flash.
Problem:
In my layer, I have different graphical objects and text blocks. A part of them I want to move with a scroll panel. That's easy, not a problem.
However, all these objects (including the scroll panels) should be integrated in a master scroll panel. This means, that all parts, even the integrated scroll panels, should be moveable at the same time. I managed this.
Now, I need multiple toggle buttons. With these Buttons I wanted to change the form of some of the graphical objects resp. the text blocks. But the buttons have to be unmovable. This function (to change the form of the objects) is relatively easy but in combination with the integrated scroll panels it isnt. The buttons are able to move the objects when these buttons are pasted in the "deepest" layer, the layer of the objects. But there, the buttons are moveable and slide out of the screen (with the master scroll panel) and not clickable.
How can I manage this? I need unmovable toggle buttons, with these I want to change the forms of objects. The objects are pasted in integrated scroll panels. I hope it's understandable!
Can someone help me? It would be glad if the answer does not depend on the learning of the flash programming!
Thanks.

After 2 days of banging my head against a wall (doesn't it always go that way)...
Turns out one of my panels had sub-panels causing the problem. Visibility to the parent panel was controlled by a button on one of the child panels. Once I "promoted" the button to the parent panel, the panel (screen) flow worked great.
Is this 'undocumented functionality'? Why should it matter how deep the button is nested? (incidentally, the reason it worked in my test environment was the lack of other components - aka the child panel)
Well, regardless. Thanks to those who gave it thought.

  • Question concerning Selecting and Deselecting Toggle Buttons

    Hello Everyone,
    I am still relatively new to the adobe web suite (still in the trial period in fact). I am working on creating a mock-up of a main web page design to demonstrate and discuss with management. The decision associated with such would determine if we go forward with purchasing adobe products, continuing a redesign of our website among many other things.
    The big issue that I am running into at the moment is creating a series of interactive thumbnails.
    I have the following set up on the page:
    - A section for the actual image (full sized) complete with a title and description provided at the side for one of potentially many topics.
    - Below the topic/image section is a series of thumbnails, which the first one is set for full opacity and marked as selected. (All of these thumbnails are in a Custom Component and break down into a Toggle Button component each, if the image is unselected it remains set at a low opacity)
    - When selecting one of the other thumbnails, I need it to change the image (this part works), select/set the thumbnail to full opacity (this part works as well, given it is a toggle button feature), and lastly unselect the previous thumbnail (causing it to go to a lower opacity, I cannot figure out a way to accomplish this one)
    - In the future I intend to design side bars (left and right) for both thumbnails and the section above (effectively changing the topic to a new one)
    The ultimate idea is to create articles, provided with thumbnails associated to the article at the bottom and to allow clean alternation between the thumbnails, and likewise be able to switch to a new article (with a new set of thumbnails associated to the new article) as well.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think I found the solution of my own question. I share it in the hope that it’ll be useful to other people. Remind that I use Cp 6.1.0.319. I modified the project as follows: 1) I unchecked “Visible in output” for the button “Audio Play” (Bt_play) 2) I  modified the AA associated to the audio on/off buttons as descrived below: Action Name: Play Assign cpCmndMute with 0 Show Bt_Stop Enable Bt_Stop Hide Bt_Play Disable    Bt_Play Action Name: Stop Assign cpCmndMute with 1 Show Bt_Play  Enable Bt_Play  Hide Bt_Stop Disable Bt_Stop In this way the two buttons in the same location work well as a real toggle button!

  • Pause and Play Toggling Button

    I have created a Pause and Play button that toggles between states.  It controls a Timeline with synced Sound.  When I use it the sound and animation go out of sync.  Can anyone help me with this or perhaps have better code I could swap out to make this work?
    Below is what I am currently using:
    On the first frame of an Action Script layer put this AS:
    playBtn.onRelease = function() {
    ns.pause(false);
    playBtn._visible = false;
    pauseBtn._visible = true;
    pauseBtn.onRelease = function() {
    ns.pause(true);
    playBtn._visible = true;
    pauseBtn._visible = false;
    Lable a Pause button Graphic "pauseBtn"
    put this AS on the button:
    on (release) {
                gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);
    Lable a Play button Graphic "playBtn"
    put this AS on the button:
    on (release) {
                stop();
    Put the Pause and Play buttons directly over each other on 2 layers for the duration of the timeline.
    Pause Button on top. (unless you have a STOP on the first line then maybe the Play button will start it (I didn't Try this)

    you have, what appears to be, conflicting code.  and you appear to be using a netstream instance.  so:
    1.  remove all code attached to objects.  copy and paste the only code you have affecting your pause/play button.
    2.  what is ns?

  • Button interactions within Scroll Panel/Content

    I am creating a portfolio website using Flash Catalyst. On my Portfolio page I have a vertical scroll panel and within that panel I have little thumbnails of my artwork converted to a button component. So when the user click on the thumbnail I want the larger image to appear nearby. I make new states for the larger images within the scrolling content, but whenever I use the scroll thumb it also scroll the larger images that i want it to be in a fixed position. So is there anyway I can lock the larger image while user is able to scroll through the thumbnails. If not possible, is there anyway i can duplicate the events on the timeline from one page/state to another similar one?
    If there is a better way to accomplish this please let me know too, I am all ears. If you need clarification on my issue, I will try my best to explain it through texts.

    Hi,
    Here's a quick wireframe to illustrate the thumbnail separate from the detail image.   The large images could be in their own custom component or in different states in the main timeline (per this example).
    The scroll bar needs be edited to look nicer.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mouse Control Panel Looses scroll options and multi-button options

    Hello-
    I just bought the new Magic Mouse. Once it is paired with my bluetooth the mouse works fine but the Mouse control panel looses the secondary button and scroll options. Mouse will not scroll normally or momentum scrolling. As well the Bluetooth control pane does not show mouse battery level reading, and there is no Mouse name. What's happening here??

  • My wifi will not turn on. The button is settings seems to be locked. I tried turning it on from the control panel, and also with Siri, but it still does not turn on in settings, so i cannot access wifi. Please help ASAP

    If the battery was completely drained the iPad will not respond for some time after connecting it to the charger. Connect the iPad to the charger that came with it and plug that into a good wall outlet. Wait 30 minutes. Then reset the iPad.Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until it's battery shows fully charged. If the iPad still does not start Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. Be sure to back up your device before taking or sending it to Apple.

  • Draw in a Panel and Scroll around it with the Mouse

    Ok, so I've been bored and needed something to program so I opted with making a single player RPG creator, for this I decided to use a Panel for the screen and then Paint in what I want for maps (importing images using paint) but I want the maps to be bigger
    than the Panel and I want to have the mouse (for now so I can have some understanding of that) scroll around the map, basically have it further than half way down on the panel and it scrolls down, but I don't want any clicking or MouseWheel use needed or used,
    I just want it to follow where the mouse is.
    Long story short, I have a panel, I put the mouse further than halfway, the panel scrolls down or wherever the mouse is pointing.

  • Updates to Folio Panel, Producer Tools and Content Viewer on iPad breaking scroll panels

    This has not been a good morning.
    Came into the office this morning, logged in and saw that there were updates for the Content Viewer, Producer Tools and the Folio Panel. Updated them all. Started to work some more on a promo piece for a new magazine and began to notice Scroll Panels using the "Pan Only" form within the Content Overlay panel no longer work. This was a great way to create scroll panels that could contain hyperlinks. Problem is, I am not sure where the problem lies. Is the problem with the Viewer or with the updates to the Folio Tools or Folio Panel? I am unfortunately on deadline for this afternoon and I don't have the luxury to troubleshoot this. Granted, I probably shouldn't have updated all of these tools at this juncture, but I was hoping that these updates would fix the problem I was having with the Desktop Viewer that wasn't working. Sadly, the Desktop Viewer works now, but that came with the price of losing functionality elsewhere.
    Frustrated.

    Yeah, it's been a project that I was working on for the last two weeks. We were supposed to have a final walk-through this afternoon and present it tomorrow. But now a good portion of the features that were working and had been promised no longer work. All out of no fault of my own. I understand that these things can happen, but this one is pretty bad and the timing was worse. Like I said, I shouldn't have updated the tools and the Viewer app until after the presentation... but then again, that may have been even worse. At least I was able to get the presentation postponed until Monday... gives me a little more time to figure out what to do.
    Anyways, I did able to get a hold of someone through support and was able to send them some files. It's being looked at as I type this. I do have to give credit to the Adobe support staff, they've been helpful and pretty responsive! Thanks guys!

  • Where is the Components Panel and the Design Mode button in FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium?

    I'm new to FlashBuilder. I've been using many years just Flash  and now I'm switching to FlashBuilder. I've seen some tutorials, but the Interface in my copy of the program do not match the one in the tutorials. I could't find the componets Panel and the Design Mode button. Any ideea why?
    My Laptop runs on Windows 7.  FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium is via Creative Cloud:
    SnapShot from Tutorials I've seen
    SnapShot From my application
    with yelow i've marked the place with the "Components View" and the "Design" mode button
    whith that red line I've marked the place where the "Design" mode button is expected
    I've notice the following menu:
    Whe you click on Views: Window->Show Views->Other...  an interactive dialog appears with the tree of views available. Above there is a textField where you can enter a filter. As you type the text, the tree updates accordingly, after each letter.
    I've searched for the Components panel ... surprise!!!
    nothing on filter
    filtering for Outline View
    filtering for Component View
    the tree complete
    the tree finds the Outline View
    the tree is already empty
    As you notice the list of views is empty even before I finish the spelling of the word "Component".
    Is there something I should configure, or this feature is not available in this particular distribution ?

    I found the answer myself. Looks like this new version does not support these features anymore: http://www.adobe.com/ro/products/flash-builder/buying-guide.html.
    Strange...
    The question rising here is what happens with this feature?
    Will be available with a future update?
    Will no longer be availalble in FlashBuilder, but in another Adobe Project?
    Will never be available?
    I belive this features are not important  for advanced users... but  I'm just learning this. I'm used to work in Flash. I write ActionScript, but I'm not familliar with the objects availlable in Flex, so the Component Panel and Design Mode is quite handy on this stage.
    Plus, there is a real concern about the future of this technology, now beeing available HTML5. So, there is a question of oportunity  investing time in learning things no longer supported. The most frustrating thing is not having an answer to this question. Even a "No" is better than "We don't know yet" <- the answer I received from online support.

  • My down and up arrow buttons for scrolling don't work except on the firefox help page, it worked fine with chrome?

    I had google chrome before I switched to firefox due to the obsessive popups on chrome. All of a sudden the up and down keys don't scroll up and down on web pages, the only one they work on is the firefox help page. Any thoughts?

    In order to be able to find the correct solution to your problem, we require some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:
    *Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    *At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
    *Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
    If you need further information about the Troubleshooting information page, please read the article [[Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues]].
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    How can I stick an accordion navigation MENU on top of a mobile scrolling page and make it work properly?
    As I can't pin it, I keep it on top of the page with scroll effect 0.
    It collapse, shows the menu buttons but doesn't close back once it reaches the anchorpoint.

    Muse won't let you, at least not that I know of. You could find the class in the code that muse gives it position: fixed…I think. You could paste it into the head area of your page properties to override the class. I believe something like this would give you persistent nav bar, pinned at the very top, on mobile:
    #youmuseclass {position: fixed;}
    I wouldn't use any parallax on mobile either, the performance is terrible.

  • Diference between button and toggle button

    hai
    can any one tell diference betwwen button and toggle button

    hii
    The UI element ToggleButton represents the pushbutton on the screen. The user can execute statements and actions by clicking the ToggleButton. Action executed when the user toggles the UI element.
    A toggle button has two states: pushed in, or not pushed in. It stays pushed after you have pushed it and comes out after you have pushed it again.
    A simple button just comes out every time after being pushed.

  • Navigation button on wrong side of screen!!!!! To scroll, I have to keep moving from side to side to go back and scroll. Move the back button to the right side!!!!

    I should be able to navigate back and forward using a button on the right side of the screen. This is where I scroll up and down from so doesn't it make sense to have the back and forward button there!!!

    You can move the buttons around, see [[how to customize the toolbar]].

  • How best to handle a start button and a play-pause toggle button?

    Hello,
    Still new to AS3, on a project for a client. I'd appreciate advice on how best to handle the navigation for 5 movieclips set inside 5 separate frames on the main timeline. I have a play button on frame 1 to start the animation, but I'd like to include a play/pause toggle button on the other frames to finish the navigation. Everything works except the toggle button, when clicked, does toggle but does not stop the animation. I've copied the code, including the toggle button code on frame 4 below. How best to handle both a start button and a play-pause toggle button?
    Thanks for any help in advance.
    Frame 1:
    PlayBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
    stop();
    PlayBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startMovie);
    function startMovie(event:MouseEvent) {
    gotoAndPlay(2);
    Frame 2:
    stop();
    Frame 3:
    stop();
    Frame 4:
    RewindBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
    RewindBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,rewind);
    function rewind(e:MouseEvent) {
    prevFrame();
    FFBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
    FFBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,forward);
    function forward(e:MouseEvent) {
    nextFrame();
    ToggleBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
    ToggleBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doToggle);
    function doToggle(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
    ToggleBtn_mc.play();
    Frame 5:
    (Loops back to Frame 1)

    I can't tell you how appreciative I am of all your assistance.
    Could you double-check on this, I may have stumbled upon somthing- I tweaked your last code, which toggled, but didn't seem to call the scene_test_mc into action.
    But I copied below what both toggles the play/pause button and calls the mc into action. Could you verify this as reliable code and not a fluke that will break? Thank you so much! :
    ToggleBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
    ToggleBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doToggle);
    scene_test_mc.buttonMode=true;
    scene_test_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doToggle);
    function doToggle(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
    var mc:MovieClip=MovieClip(myevent.currentTarget);
    if(mc.currentFrame==1){
    mc.gotoAndStop(2);
    scene_test_mc.play();
    } else {
    mc.gotoAndStop(1);
    scene_test_mc.stop();
