Lay-out of buttons on button bar

Hi all
I use Designer 6i, and I have a form with 4 AI, that are generated in a button bar below the main block.
These buttons are aligned to the right (extra space remains in the left on the button bar). My user would like to have the buttons aligned to the left (so the remaining space would be at the right).
I tried using the AIBORD preference, without success.
How could I achieve this?
Thanks

Anyone know of a "button bar" toolkit?

I know it goes against everything I think about Microsoft, but I am looking for a button bar similar to those in MS API. As long as there is a standard, I may as well use it.
For those who are unaware of what I speak, a button bar is a set of icon/text/icon&text buttons that appear at the top of some applications (most these days). I have Eudora, which has a great example of the button bar, but also, Power Point, Exel, and other MS apps have them too. I want to be able to easily create them in LabVIEW.

Labviewguru,
I've done a presentation a few weeks ago, and it's online. It has an example
of the a "toolbar" and "coolbar" (coolbar is when the icons change when the
mouse hovers above them...).
It's just an example, one simple, and one with menus that come out of the
buttons (like the 'New' button in IE).With some imagination dynamic menus
and other stuff can be implemented (easily..).
It's at the bottom of:
http://www.air.nl/info/ww.html
(Please don't mind the picture, not one of the best pictures of me!) The
text at the site is dutch, but the presentation is in english. It covers
several COM objects, including the buttons.
Also note that the VI's are ment to illustrate the technique. The use of Sub
VI's is recommended, but avoided to clearify t
he technique.
Have fun,
Wiebe.

Flash button bar integration

Hi there,
I'm using flash MX2004 to create a navigation bar for a
project in Director 8.5. I have used the getURL command in Flash to
transfer information to Director. The buttons are names button1,
button2 etc. I have put the flash component in Director and tested
that it is recieving variable button names successfully.
I want the button bar to change the director movie depending
on what button is pressed. I am able to have the buttons jump to
marker but not change movie.
I'm also trying to implement a roll-over information feature
ie. when the user rolls the mouse over a Flash button from
Director, a text box in Director displays information, eg. When the
user rolls over the "home" button, the information box reads "This
button takes you to the first page".
I'm pretty new to Director and randomly scouring the Lingo
help doesn't seem to be helping me :)
If anyone has any tips or solutions for my problems it would
be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
GL

It sounds like you want to have a number of different results
from these
flash button events. It also sounds like you have a number of
buttons in
the flash sprite.
As duckets said, you can use the getURL() actionscript method
to send
information to Director, either to a behavior attached to the
flash
sprite or to a movie script.
Director can interpret a mouse event on the Flash sprite, but
it can't
tell which object inside the flash sprite has been effected.
In other
words Director knows that the cursor rolled over the sprite,
just not
which clip or button was specifically rolled over.
You will need to set up a strategy for working with these
flash buttons.
You will need to decide how much information to send to
Director and
when to send that information.
Actionscript has rollover and rollout events as well as
mouseDown and
mouseUp events. So one way to deal with this is to use the
individual
rollover and rollout events to send information about the
text display.
Then use the mouseup event for navigation control.
One way to simplify the work on the Flash end is to name each
button
instance. Then on the rollover, rollout and mouseup events,
send the
name of the button instance to Director. You can then use a
simple case
statement to parse out the button's instance name and use
that name to
tell Director what to do.
In flash, name your buttons, it could be as simple as "one",
"two", etc.
The write a series of functions for those buttons. Maybe
something like
this:
-- create an array to hold the names of all of the buttons...
var buttonArray:Array = new Array(one,two,three,four);
-- create a set of functions for these buttons...
for (i in buttonArray) {
buttonArray
.onRollOver = sendRollOver;
buttonArray.onRollOut = sendRollOut;
buttonArray
.onMouseUp = sendMouseUp;
-- for the rollover event, send a string that contains a key
word and
the button name...
function sendRollOver() {
var stringToSend:String = "roll$"+ parseButtonName(this);
getURL(stringToSend);
-- do similar for the mouseUp event...
function sendMouseUp() {
var stringToSend:String = "up$"+ parseButtonName(this);
getURL(stringToSend);
-- for the rollout event just send a simple string...
function sendRollOut() {
getURL("rollout");
-- this function will strip out the simple button instance
name from its
full path...
function parseButtonName(button) {
var buttonName:String = string(button);
var nameParts:Array = buttonName.split(".");
var shortName = nameParts[nameParts.length -1];
return shortName;
Now you have a very simple flash movie that doesn't need to
be edited
every time something changes in the Director movie.
in Director make a behavior that will sit on the Flash
sprite:
property thisSprite
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
end
on getURL me,data
if data = "rollout" then
member("text display member").text = ""
else
parseOut(data)
end if
end
on parseOut(thisString)
oldDelim = the itemDelimiter
the itemDelimiter = "$"
if thisString.item[1] = "roll" then
case (thisString.item[2]) of
"one": member("text display member").text =
"first button string"
"two": member("text display member").text =
"second button string"
-- continue as needed
end case
if thisString.item[1] = "up" then
case (thisString.item[2]) of
-- similar to above
end case
end if
the itemDelimiter = oldDelim
end

Specific region mouse over effect(Button 1 fades out and Button 2 fades in).

Dear All -
I am new to Flash CS5 and building Flash navigation bar with buttons on it.
Below is my problem description that I want to solve with your help.
I have a rectangular bar and placed one small button(Button 1) on this bar. Also, I have similar button(Button 2) with some graphics on it which is of similar size as to previous Button 1.
Button 1 - Without graphic.
Button 2 - With graphic on it.
What I want is that, whenever mouse is taken over Button 1 placed on the rectangular bar, it should fade out and simultaneously Button 2 should fade in. I want only button region to be sensitive to this mouse over effect and not the complete rectangular bar.
Kindly let me know how can I define the specific region(button region only) to be sensitive to mouse over effect in flash, and how to place Button 1 and Button 2 in layers so that both are at the same positition(so that there is no displacement of button detected).
Thank You,
Saurabh Khanna.

Hello -
Thank you for the reply. Button 1 does not have glowing effect, whereas Button 2 has a glowing effect. So what I wanted is that when initially Button 1 is loaded during page load, when I mouse over Button 1, Button 1 would fade out and Button 2 sitting behind Button 1 would automatically look like fade in(due to gradual fad out of Button 1 on top of Button 2).
I could do this now, and would like to Thank you for your reply.
I did this by creating movie clip on "Over" event of Button 1 and changing its Alpha property. But now what I want is how to gradually fade out, means when I remove my mouse from over button, then Button 2 should fade out gradually which will automatically make Button 1 fade in gradually.
I could not find the "Out" event just like we have "Over" event for Button, so I assume this can only be done using ActionScript somehow.
Let me know if I am going correct with my assumption, and possibly if you could help me achieve the remaining half(fading out gradually when mouse is removed from the button).
Thank You once again for your reply.
Thank You,
Saurabh Khanna.

Window Layout/ Button Bars

Hi,
is there a way to make a custom window layout and button bar load at start-up automatically ie make it the standart?
Everytime the system crashes - and it does a lot currently with EX footage, it reverts back to not my preferred settings...

You might want to figure out why you're crashing to begin with...
In the meantime, I'd save a window layout, then you only need to call that back up after a crash...Main Menu/Window/Arrange/Save (or Load) Window layout...
Not sure about button bars, I've not seen them disappear except after trashing prefs (and not sure they did then, either)

What's wrong with my toggle button bar?

I've used one before, and I don't understand why my toggle
button bar is not showing the "active" state for the first index of
the viewStack it is linked to.
Normally, I use mainStack.selectedIndex = 0 and that
highlights the first (default) item of the view stack.
I change the viewstack with a timer, and all subsequent
states the correct button highlights, even when I have it loop
around to the first item again. It's only initially on load.
Thoughts?

Thanks, Greg.
That didn't work either, but it got me thinking. Moving it to
the end of the function that assigns the children to the view stack
finally worked:

Previously deleted songs have greyed out "Purchased" buttons, and the items are not in the "Purchases" list.

I have several songs I deleted on an unknown date that I want to redownload. As I stated in the title, the songs I am looking for are not in my "Purchases" list, and when I search for the album the song is in the song has a greyed-out "Purchased" button. I get the same result on my iPhone, which was bought long after I deleted these songs (I assume).

It is possible that you may have deleted the tunes.

How to remove the divider at the end of application panel page button bar

I want to remove the divider at the end of the application panel's page button bar. I dont see a handle in the propery inspector which can be set or unset to remove this divider.
I am thinking more in lines of something like a "SecondaryToolbarRendered =false" kind of thing to remove this divider.
Any suggestions?

Applications Panel is an internal Fusion Apps component. Please post this in Oracle's intrnal ADF Frontnd Forum at myforums.oracle.com.

Tom Wolskys book-"Editing Workshop Button Bars"

I have fce hd v 3.5 but I purchased tom's bookFCE 2 Editing Workshop. I figured I could bridge the gaps between the little differences between the book and my newer version but I have run into a very minor problem. For some reason I am unable to locate "Load Button Main Button Bars"(p16, par4) function in order to navigate to the "extras" file on the dvd. When I double click on the "Editing Workshop Button Bars" it says File Error: wrong type. I know this isn't critical, and I am probably missing something simple but I don't want to miss a beat in learning this software. Could someone help? Thanks.

You have to right-click on the button holder itself.
The terminology has been changed to "Load All Button
Bars." Then from the navigation dialog select the
file from the disc.
Thank You Tom. I appreciate it.

How do I set up a new button on the button bar?

I was used to previous versions of A/Works in which you just needed to create a macro. In the latest version, it's not so simple. Could someone let me know, preferably in words of one syllable (lol), the steps to take to set up a button. I want a double underline one, it's so frustrating not having one as I use it all the time.
Any help gratefully received!
Thankyou

tell application "AppleWorks 6"
set style of selection of document 1 to {class:text style info, on styles:{double underline}}
end tell
Press the Command and S keys, choose Application as the File Format, and click Save.

IPad Air crossed out play button in Safari

I am unable to watch any quicktime (mp4) embedded videos on Safari (or Chrome!) on my new iPad Air. It shows a crossed out play button. I have reset the cache and reset the iPad but it is still not working.
I noticed this yesterday when trying to watch the iPhone/Apple Watch Keynote. I thought it was an issue with the streaming servers but the bug is also affecting all other websites.

Don't restore just yet. Next I would reset all settings. Sometimes that can fix hinky issues. It's a bit of a pain as well, but you don't lose any data. You do lose all of your preferred settings and you will have enter them all again on the iPad.

Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out? Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device. Then restore it as a new device. If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue. They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19. Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.
