Is it possible to add playback control buttons in a gif?
I created an animation gif - it got out of control with lots more frames than i had initally thougth it would have. Now I would like to add playback buttons on the gif (i.e. play/pause, forward, back) Is this possible with Photoshop? Or is there another program that would be better - possibly even easier?
gif is viewable at www.phoenixcomputertraining.com/photoshop.htm
Or is there another program that would be better - possibly even easier?
As Zeno said. For your convenience, download the public Beta of Flash Builder from Adobe Labs. It can do all that in a halfway intuitive way without actually needing to program ActionScript or get dirty with other Flash concepts.

Hi,
I am currently trying to add controls (play/stop/etc) to a .swf file within Director 11.5. The movie imports fine and plays perfectly, however there does seems to be built in options to add the control in the same way you would for a .mov.
The .swf file has been created with controls and plays outside of director fine. When it is placed into director the controls disappear and leave a white space.
Is there a step by step guide somewhere or can someone give me a step by step guide? I'm fairly new to director and won't know some of the terms etc....
The movie is 30 mins long and requires the user to move to various points and pause the playback. I cannot change the format of the file either.
Please let me know if you need any more info...
PLEASE HELP, I have to complete this in 2 days.
WProbably too late for your project but...
You can do this by using 3 sprites in addition to the SWF. In this example, I've named them "videoPlay", "videoRewind, and "videoStop". The SWF in this case was named "video."
Apply this script to each of the 3 sprites.
property mySprite
on beginSprite me
mySprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
end
on mouseUp me
case mySprite.name of
"videoPlay":
sprite("video").play()
"videoStop":
sprite("video").stop()
"videoRewind":
sprite("video").stop()
sprite("video").rewind()
end case

Spark ButtonBar is it possible to add a "custom" button?
Either is it possible to add custom ButtonBarButton components to a spark ButtonBar?
For example:
<s:ButtonBar>
<s:ButtonBarButton />
<s:ButtonBarButtonWithImage />
<s:ButtonBarButtonWithChildren />
</s:ButtonBar>
Or create a ButtonBarButton with children - like a Menubar?
P.S: I could use the MenuBar, but there isn't a spark version. I would need a style customization.I've tried your component. It will be very helpful.
I have a doubt (I think it's about List component):
Considered I'm using a vertical layout with one MenuBar (height = 40 ) and one Container below. When, the user mouse over any menu item the submenu is displayed over the container, even the submenu has more than 40 of height - like absolute layout.
How the submenu is added to the layer - over the container (it didn't respect the vertical layout ?!) (I didn't find in the SDK sources.)
How the x and y is setted since the layout is vertical?
Where can I get more information? -
Is it possible to add enable control to a case structure.
i have to find add/subtract the data only if need it.Not all the time when the vi runs. I have added the difft operations-add,sub.div and mul in a case struct and executed it.But this part of the prg is running all the time when the prg is running.

Playback control buttons appear reversed!
I made my own playback buttons (I've done this before without
any trouble), in the prewiew of the playback buttons the preview
displays them correctly. However, when I publish the movie the
buttons appear in the reversed order.
Any idea what;s going on???
L.NSince you're skilled enough to build your own buttons, then
perhaps you'll find this code useful. Publish it as an SWF and
insert it into the first slide of your Captivate2 project.
You'll find content here that ought to be shared with the
community of users via documentation or an API, but hasn't.
While there are coding techniques that could simplify this
code, this is at least easy to understand.
Happy to help.

Is it possible to add a extra button to each separate slide of a slideshow?
I'm using a 100% width slideshow with text on each slide. I want a button 'read more' on each slide that links to the exact page. I know the button can be integrated in the text of the slide but i want it separate. To have a different colour and spacing. Can somebody help me?
For example I inserted an image. I know how to make the white box separate for each slide but i can't make the read more button separate for each slide.Create your Read More box.
Highlight the end of you text inside your caption box.
Copy and paste your Read More box at the end of the text string.
You can move the white background up to separate it from the Read More box (see attached image).
You can also use the Wrap feature to move the box around. -
508 compliance--Playback control shortcuts and screen readers
Reference to 508 compliance. If you publish the SWF file to
include the playback control bar what keyboard shortcuts work
and/or can you program them? What will screen readers programs do
with the playback control buttons?Hmmm, so if I'm understanding the situation correctly, the
ideal response would work like this?
User types some text and is SUPPOSED to press Enter to
evaluate the text. Instead, they press Tab. Immediately upon
pressing Tab, they might see a message of some sort advising the
action is incorrect and further advising that Enter is the correct
action.
I could see this possibly happening a couple of different
ways.
1. You could insert a click box configured with a Success
caption containing the advisory information. Then set the shortcut
keystroke for the click box object to be Tab. End result should be
that the user presses Tab, sees the success caption (which looks
like a failure caption, since they didn't do what was expected) and
the action of the click box would result in re-displaying the slide
with the Text Entry box. (You do this by pointing at a .1 second
slide immediately preceding the slide with the Text Entry box.)
2. You could possibly configure the Text Entry box so that
either Enter or Tab will serve as the shortcut. You do this by
modifying the Text Entry box properties so it includes a Button as
the trigger. The trick is to assign the Enter key to the Text Entry
box itself and the Tab key to the button. (or vice-versa) Then you
configure the button so it's invisible.
Hopefully one of these helps... Rick -

Is it possible to add subitems into one entry in buttonchoice?
Dear All,
Is it possible to add entries in button choice as following?
That is, add one line "Process Route Template" in the Button Choice "Additional Functions", then add three sub-items under this entry.
Can anyone help on this? Thanks.

It is not possible to have sub-items inside the button choice action items.

Is it possible to put a "logout" button on the wake-from-screensaver dialog
Does anyone know if there's a setting or hack to put a "logout" option on the password dialogue you get when the machine wakes from sleep or screensaver (with secure option set).
Example: When our family laptop goes to sleep or screensaver after it was open in my account, it will wake up only with my password unless I make my wife's account administrator. If I do so, she can wake the computer without repowering it, but it wakes in MY account even though she's used HER username/password. That's not what we want. We want a logout button that will take her back to the multi-account login screen without rebooting.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!hochmand wrote:

it's not possible to add a logout button but there is no need. just go to system preferences->accounts->login options and enable fast user switching. then the wake from sleep dialog will have a 'switch users" button which will take you to the login window without logging out the current user. you can log into any user from the login window.

How to add my own button in the system toolbar?
Hi,
Is it possible to add my own button in the system toolbar which is linked to one of my own menu item ? I did a little bit search in the forum, all said it is not possible. Can anyone confirm it?
Thanks,
LanHi Lan,
Your finding is correct. The toolbar is not open to UI API. We do not have any methods to change anything there.

How to add a custom multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?
How to add a custom skin in multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played? As it is being played...
I need a time line so any part of the what is being played can be found by time, ie at 1 minute and 30 seconds in and continues for 45 seconds out of a 50 minute audo.If you're talking about a playback controller within the rich media annotation (RMA) then you need to write your own widget in Flash or Flex, and then place the video and widget files using the multimedia "Add Flash" tool in Acrobat instead of the "Add Video" tool. Aside from a bunch of proprietary code to handle events, commenting and the API (which you can live without for basic play-pause-scrub applications), video RMAs are just an embedded SWF file containing an FLVPlayback component. The skin and the video file itself are added to the RMA as resource entries. You can build your own version and have it display whatever controls you want, provided you know how to write ActionScript!
If you're talking about a controller that's external to the RMA (e.g. a series of links or buttons elsewhere on the page) then in the past you would use FLV video files and the 'cue points' feature that's built into Acrobat - however Adobe removed the ability to create FLV files in the latest version of CC, so unless you have CS6 or earlier it's a non-starter. Instead you can manually set playback start points using the special "multimedia operations" link action in your PDF - though stopping playback at a defined point is very difficult without FLV cues. For that you're back to writing your own widget. -
Exit button on Playback Control
I'm using Captivate 1. All of the buttons work except the
Exit button on the Playback Control. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
TILOTOHATILOTOHA,
If the Exit button on the playbar isn't working, I'm afraid
there's not much to be done about that. We have no control over the
functionality of the playback controls.
That said, are you previewing the movie from a web server?
Previewing locally or from a network drive imposes security
restrictions on the browser and the Flash Player, which is the
cause of most "it doesn't work" reports in these forums. The only
way to truly know if something is working is to test your files
from a web server, where the security restrictions are much
lighter.
Everybody Else,
I'm assuming you're adding your own Exit buttons on the last
slide? If so, there may be a better way. As most folks probably
know, the "correct" way to close a window at the end of a project
is to go into the Project Preferences and set the action for the
Project end options to "Close project". This usually works.
As a backup, you can also insert some Javascript code in the
slide navigation for the last slide in your project. This will
"double your chances" of being able to close the window, without
the user having to click anything:
1. Double-click the last slide and on the Slide Properties
dialog, select Execute JavaScript from the Navigation dropdown.
2. Click the Ellipses (...) button to the right of the
JavaScript field and on the Javascript dialog, type the following
code:
window.top.opener = window.top; window.top.close();
The extra bit of code at the beginning is an attempt to
prevent IE from asking the user whether they want to close the
window. It may not actually work, but it doesn't seem to do any
harm to leave it in.
Jill -
If the slide navigation thing doesn't work for you, the
"button" solution is simply to add a button to the slide,
double-click to view it's properties, change the On success action
to Execute JavaScript and then enter the code as shown
above. -
How do I add a FullScreen button to Project Playback Skin?
How do I add a fullscreen button to the project playback skin? I know how to load another skin (using Project -> Skin Editor) and how to add a custom playback skin (paste custom skin SWF into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\en_US\Gallery\Playbars) but I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to add a fullscreen button when editing the Flash AS3 so that it will show up in my custom playback skin when loaded into Captivate via Project->Skin Editor. Any ideas?
Hi there
I might assume that seeing as you were able to work the magick with the CC button it would be a simple task to pick apart the other elements and add the desired button without hijacking the CC button.
I mean, if you are that deep in Flash territory and all, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to figure out how the buttons are added, no?
Cheers... Rick
