Is it possible to make animated buttons in iWeb'08?

Hello folks,
I am just wondering, is there any way to make buttons little bit interactive? Maybe like changing color on rollover?

There are two possible form types that you can add to your website. One is using a 3rd party form provider that, when filed in and sent, goes directly to you. Expamples of them, JotForm and Wufoo can be seen here: Add Form
Further down that page is the second type, Form action forms, that use the visitors email application to send the response. That may put off responders. Take a look at both types.

Is it possible to make a button with multiple paths?

Hello and good day Everyone
I want to make a flash game with a map leading to various places for example school or beach like this http://www.yotreat.com/sites/default/files/190-160_1286.jpg
if the player goes to the school she will find the teacher, and if the player goes to the beach se will find the coach.
How can I make the player (for example) talks to the teacher at school, returns to the main map, and goes to the beach to talk with the coach, yet if she goes to the school again, the dialogue with the teacher won't be the same with first dialogue?
=>>> Is it possible to make a button with different paths to go? As if you've watched frame A, then you push the same button again it will take you to frame B??? <<<=
Sorry for my confusing description... I hope you get the idea >,<
Im so desperate... I've been searching for articles about this since yesterday and I still can't find one to solve this problem of mine.
Making games is my dream... I've made some very simple games, but I want to try a new level of difficulty
Please help me? (>o<

Thank you for the advice, sir Ned Murphy!
Yes, I try to use variables now, but face another problem with it... would you please tell me what's wrong with my script?
Here, in label: "School" I type:
on (release) {
if (point = 0){
gotoAndStop("dialogue1");
else if (point = 10){
gotoAndStop("dialogue2");
else {
gotoAndStop("dialogue3");
(it's only a testing, so I only use these 4 labels)
and in label: "dialogue1", "dialogue2",and "dialogue3" I type:
on (release) {point += 10;}
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("school");
The result when I test movie:
1. At "School" (shows point=0), I click the button,
2. then occurs "dialogue2" (shows point=10), I click the button,
3. then back at "school" (shows point=20), I click the button,
4. then occurs "dialogue2" again (shows point=10)
even the first shot is wrong
point=0 should be the entrance to "dialogue1", but all I can get is "dialogue2"...
Please tell me what's wrong with my script, sir Ned Murphy,
Thank you very much

Is it possible to make a button that adds extra pages?

I'm trying to make a form that consists of three pages. However, I would like to have a button at the bottom of page 2 that can be used to duplicate page 2 as a continuation sheet - including the same button, which could then be used to create a 3rd copy as another continuation sheet if needed, and so on.
I can't think of a way of doing it. Even if I managed to duplicate the page, the new copy would be pre-populated because the fields would have the same names. Therefore I'm now wondering if it's possible to make a button that would effectively unhide entire pages to achieve the same thing. Then I could perhaps create the form with nine copies of page 2, and unhide them one at a time based on use of the button. Again though, I'm not sure that's possible, and even if it is it would be pretty inelegant.
Anyone have any bright ideas or alternative approaches I might not have considered?

It is possible to do using the templates feature. If it needs to work with Reader, the only version that supports it without having to apply usage rights with LiveCycle Reader Extensions ($$$$) is Reader 11, so all of your Reader users would have to update to the latest version.
Templates can be spawned so that the fields are automatically renamed, avoiding the issue you mentioned.

How to make the buttons INVISIBLE in the Application toolbar

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a button in the Application toolbar of the Module Pool Screen. The field should be made Invisible by default. and it should be displayed based on one condition.
Could you please let me know how to make that particular button INVISIBLE. I think we can make it invisible by using EXCLUDING statement. But, How to make the button VISIBLE again when the check is satisfied.
I found from the portal that the FM 'VIEW_SET_PF_STATUS' can be used to make a button INVISIBLE. Could anyone help me out how to pass the parameters to this Function module?
or is there any Function Module available to make the button VISIBLE and INVISIBLE? Please help me on this issues.
Is there any possibility to make the button VISIBLE or INVISIBLE as we do for the screen fields using LOOP AT SCREEN..?
Thank you in advance.
Regards.
Paddu.

Hi,
Try to use below in the PBO module status_0100 OUTPUT.
DATA t_fcode TYPE TABLE OF sy-ucomm.
refresh t_fcode[].
APPEND 'Function code name of the button' TO t_fcode.
Check the condition here for which you want to make field visible.
DELETE FCODE of the button from T_FCODE table
ENDIF.
SET PF-STATUS 'STATUS_0100' EXCLUDING t_fcode.

Make animated rollover in Flash for Muse buttons

Hello.
I am new to Adobe Muse, but more familliar with Flash. I am also new to HTML.
I am wondering if it is possible to make a rollover animation in Flash to play as a rollover animation for buttons in Muse. I would like it so that when the mouse curser hovers over the button, it plays a simple animation of appering and dissapering stars over the text. I have heard of Adobe Edge, but I am not really familiar with it, so if there is any specific setup for a Flash rollover animation e.g. HTML5 Canvas or whatever, please let me know. Also, I am wondering if a HTML5 canvas Flash animation will play on phones and tablets, or if anything made with Flash using whatever setup, will even work on phones and tablets.
Thank you for your suggestions and assistance.

You may need to create the fully function button with all states and mouse interactivity in Flash itself and then place it in Muse and apply a link to it.
Since buttons with states in Muse use background fills which can only be certain image types like PNG, JPG, etc. Since you can't apply a SWF as a CSS background fill, it won't be possible to use it for one of the states of the button.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Vikas

Is it possible to make a fillable form have variable fields - so if you select a radio button it triggers a different form field to be seen depending on which radio button is selected??

Yes, one needs to use some custom JavaScript code to control the other fields' properties.

Possible to make folder in right mouse button?

I was wondering if it is possible to make a own folder link in the right mouse button. I would like to right click on a photo on my desktop and choose the folder in the pop up window where the photo then would move to. Is this possible?

tried it and cannot get it to work.
I'm pretty sure you didn't do it correctly. it works for me. did you read the installation instructions? you have to put the CM plugin into the Contextual menu folder and the preference pane into the PreferencePanes folder inside the Library in your home directory (not at the top level of the drive). then log out/in and it will work.
And it's a demo only. Can I do this somehow with Automater?
yes, but why bother. that CM plugin is much nicer than anything you can make with automator.

Is there a way to make rotated Buttons and ones that overlap??

currently, im working on a dvd menu, and i want it to look like a stack of Polaroids,
so i made the menu in photoshop with all the codes, like (+)(%) ect.
though now i want the buttons to be overlapping and all tilted to a random direction,
like a real stack of polaroids, i've tried making a "straight" menu and then rotating the buttons, but it didn't work.
is there a way that you can rotate buttons and have the thumbnail footage also be rotated?
and is it possible to have buttons that overlap at some point?
(note that i want the Animated thumbnails)
here's a random example picture i found online
though i know it might be possible by making them all by manually in AfterEffects,
by using the original footage with lots of masks to make thumbnail movies,
but im not looking for such a tedious job, also im not very skilled in AfterEffects

In DVD-Video, buttons cannot overlap, and their hit area will always be a rectangle...even if the contents of the button are rotated, it will result only in the rectangle becoming larger, to fit the rotated graphics.
Regarding button thumbnail layers, they show similar behavior - they will always render out as a rectangle.
If you don't use thumbnail layers (try a replacement layer), you should be able to rotate the button without the replacement layer getting re-adjusted. But note replacement layers don't accept video. If you want video in the buttons, you'll have to do all the work in After Effects.
But remember - your buttons cannot overlap without introducing button highlighting problems.
A better solution is to not make these buttons at all, but a regular menu layer or video background layer. And then you can create custom highlight layers in Photoshop, again making sure your buttons don't overlap. This would be a lot of work.

Is it possible to duplicate a button, instead of building a new one each time (navigation)

In CS5...
I have created a movieclip button which is animated for all the states I need (up, over, out, etc.) it's made up of text, which is in a movie clip where I have my animations created (actions layer with AS3 script, my txt movieclip layer, my hit layer) and then that is inside a movie clip in my main scene.
Is it possible to copy that button, so then change the text, Actionscript, instance name, etc?
I tried copying the layer (by selecting the frames and copying frames, and pasting to new layer) but when I make any changes, it changes both copies!
Can someone tell me an easy workflow so I don't have to build each button from the ground up each time?
Thanks all!

Select the textfield that is inside the movieclip and in the properties panel you should see a dropdown for selecting the type of textfield. If you select Dynamic and then assign an instance name to the textfield you can use that instance name in your code to assign the text when the file runs. If you were to name the textfield "tField", then the code you would use inside an instance of your movieclip named "mClip1" would be...
mClip1.tField.text = "your text";
So, if I have multiple buttons, using your example, would the code read
mClip1.tField.text = "your text";
mClip1.tField2.text = "your text2";
mClip1.tField3.text = "your text3";
mClip1.tField4.text = "your text4";
And my buttons are built inside movieclips, ie
Main Timeline > aboutButton_mc > aboutText_mc > "about"
> contactsButton_mc > contactsText_mc > "contacts"
can the code be put at any level, or does it need to reside on the Main Timeline to access all the movie clips' text fields?
Just in case this may be too complex to get into via this forum, if you know of any good tutorials, that would be awesome too!
I tried doing a search, but it's so hard to tell if they might be in AS2, or AS3, and if they would apply to newer versions of Adobe Flash (I have CS5)

Animated button highlights

I am trying to make a dvd with my portfolio on it to send to prospective clients and I've run into a bit of a problem. normaly when I make a dvd I use a simple highlight ( arrow for example ) however with this being a portfolio I am playing around with things a little more complex. What I want to do is make an animated highlith on after effects that sets a blue liquid particle wave effect behind the button when its selected ( I'm that sorry I don't have somthing to show you as an example ). My question is very simple, Can somthing like this even be done? if so how?
I'm sorry that I don't know the answer, however as I said, I simply haven't ever tryed somthing like this beffor.

It would be possible by defining animated transition clips and using auto-action with invisible buttons, but you would need a transition clip for every button plus multiple menus to reflect the states, so managing it all becomes a lot more work. And what TimeRemapper said is true - it will lag awfully and slow down things. In fact if this is for a portfolio DVD, it may annoy the people watching it and have the adverse effect - anything that can't be said in a single clip with auto-play is probably not worth watching.

What happens to the rendered animated buttons on sub-menus

I am on a 3GB of memory MacBook Pro using Encore (CS3). Here is a description of how I have produced a working DVD...so far 3 out of 5 DVDs I have tried to render have worked.
ANYWAY...seems that Encore implodes when I try to render the same project more than one at a time. Encore chokes and I am back in the MAC OS.
HERE is my main question...every time it blows it seems to blow away the RENDERED ANIMATED BUTTONS on the secondary menu. SO each time I try this again I have to re-render the buttons taking about 1.5 hours. Why do I have to re-render...why aren't the rendered 2nd level menus SAVED.
To make it clear...after I rendered the menus...previewed...saw the buttons are animated...SAVED...try to write a DVD Disc from the Current Project...succeed...try to burn another DVD...it aborts (why...I have no idea)...I empty trash...bring up Encore again...try to preview the secondary menu...NO ANIMATION there so have to rerender and start all over.
I have been reading about compatibility of DVD disc, computer players and DVD players...what a PILE...without all the techies our there we can't make a dependable environment to create, burn and play DVDs...these companies should be ashamed...all they are doing is producing a whole bunch of frustrated producers (or lack of producing producers).
Can anyone shed a light on my problem!?!?
Thanks, --bill
p.s. Are there better forums than here at Adobe? Seems I don't get many if any replies to queries.

Bill,
A couple of questions, mainly to make sure that I understand what is happening.
1.) There are two files (an audio and a MOV), that show in the Orphanage, when you Check Project. Do they appear there BEFORE you Check Project, or only AFTER?
2.) Do they appear BEFORE in your Project Panel, or only AFTER you Check Project?
3.) Since they are Orphans, I assume that you do not intend to use them in this Project - right? Were they ever in the Project (Imported as Assets, or Timelines)?
4.) Was this Project started fresh, or did you modify an existing Project, to create it, say using a Save_As, etc.?
5.) If they were not Imported into this Project, were they Imported into another Project, that is/was being worked on coincidental to this one?
6.) Can you find these files on your system? Where are they located?
If 1.) is After and 2.) is After, then your Project might be corrupt. The Assets/Timelines/etc. are linked to the Project by XML. This can become corrupt for many reasons, most are often unknown - power dip, or hardware issue on Save, etc..
Two ways to check this theory, is to start the Project from scratch, and see what happens. Another is to use a freeware program, XML Wrench, and run the Project file through it. Aside from pointing out broken links, and other problems, it should also allow you to search for these files names in the body. Save a copy of the Project file, so you will have it untouched, and then remove any lines, that reference these files. Save_As (new Project name) and open that in Encore. Being on MAC, doesnt every data file have a finder file, associated with it? Could this finder file be cross-linked, in some way, to your real Assets?
It could be that there is a hardware issue, and this causes the links to the Rendered files to become broken, and also to link to files, that should not be included. Any other strange things with your system lately? I do not know the MAC folder/file structure, but can you do the equivalent of Windows Check Disk? If so, set it to find lost clusters, or whatever MAC calls them.
Also, being on PC, I do not know what utilities might be available for your OS, or what other programs might be causing a problem. On PCs, other DVD burning software, especially if their packet-writing applet is installed, can cause havoc with Encore and are discouraged. Anything else installed, and/or running, that you can think of?
Sorry to play twenty questions, but Id like to be as clear, as I can, on exactly what is happening, before I make too many more guesses.

How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

Is it possible to make an object to always face the camera (in 3d)?

I have an animation with a camera flying through a map in 3D.
Is it possible to make all my texts layers automatically "face" the camera, no matter what movement the camera makes in 3d?
Thanks in advance,
Morimitsu Yamauchi

Sure, just use the Basic Motion > Point At behavior and make the camera the target. You'll need to tweak the settings a bit.
