Linking a slideshow with a text box on Muse

Hi!
So I'm creating my first every website on Adobe Muse, so I'm still new to its functions.
I'm creating an online portfolio for myself. What I want to do, is have a menu bar containing the names of all my projects, and clicking on one link would open up a lightbox-slideshow. At least I want to make this happen, I'm not sure if I can do it. Its fairly easy to do it on Dreamweaver, you just drag the hyperlink to the image/file you want and that's it. I'm wondering if there's something like that I can do in Adobe Muse?
Its fine if it doesn't happen that way, but are there any alternatives? I basically have a lot of projects, and I want people to be able to select a text box/image and open the project so they can view all the images of that particular project.
Am I making sense?
For reference, here's the idea behind it -
http://gemmasuttondesign.com
Its my friend's wordpress blog. You click on an image to view the entire project. Can I do this on Muse?
Really need help here, my deadline for the portfolio is coming up in a few days and I need to sort this out!
Thank you xx

Hi
Yes, you can do this using widgets in muse. You can either use Lightbox composition where the triggers can be used for text box or image and then on click it would bring up the images in lightbox mode.
Or you can use any other composition for similar effect, if you are looking for some pop-up box with images on click to trigger then you can use Tooltip.
Additionally you can use Panel widget if you want auto slide for images.

Slideshow with pure text

Is it possible to make a slideshow with pure text, for quotations, in Muse without too much trouble?

Sure! I think that ant of the composition widgets would work well, however I would use the tooltip widget! You can use images, text, or any combination! There is also an "auto play" feature that you can use to automate the sideshow!
Hope this helps,

Problem with jpg & text box links???? HELP!!!!!!!

Hi All,
I have a perplexing problem with creating some links. I created a button using the shapes tools, I use the command/shift/4 to capture the image I created, I go to photoshop, edit it, then save it as a jpeg, put it into my site, make it a link, publish the site .... then nothing. The link won't work. Any other jpeg image i put in easily converts to a link if I desire, why won't this?
Also, I have read on here that you can use a transparent text box over text to create a link without having to convert the actual text and get the annoying underline, etc. that come with it. Any idea how to do this?
Appreciate your help.

The process that you describe should work exactly like that. I'm not sure what the issue is with those buttons. Do you have a URL where we can take a look at one of these buttons? It may be that they are getting obscured by something else maybe?
Also, I have read on here that you can use a transparent text box over text to create a link without having to convert the actual text and get the annoying underline, etc. that come with it. Any idea how to do this?
This is true. You can always overlay a SHAPE and change its opacity in the Inspector Graphics tab to 1% in order to make it transparent. It has to be 1% or more, though...zero doesn't work. Also, if the text that you want hyperlinked or hotspotted is in a textbox all by itself, then you can also attach the hyperlink to the textbox itself instead of selecting the text in the textbox. That will also avoid the underline....but it works only if the text is in a textbox all by itself.

Help with code for score-keeping with dynamic text box

Hi All,
I'm having an actionscript 2.0 problem with keeping score.
I have a dynamic text box with a variable called score.
I have the following action code for that variable:
_root.score = 0;
For the correct answer button I have this action:
_root.score = Number (score) +10;
This works fine to increase the score by 10 for each correct answer.
The problem is that I can't get an if statement to work for when the score reaches 150 to gotoAndPlay a certain frame. I've tried various syntax, I've tried it on the action for a button and an action for the timeline with:
onRelease = function () {
(My learning game is set up to allow for users to answer up to four extra questions to reach the score of 150).
Nothing works. Any suggestions please?
Pam

Trouble with multiline text box reading from xml file

Hi,
I have a text area, set to multiline. For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box. So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off. please help!
Thanks,
Stan

How to align text paragraphs with caption text boxes

Hello,
Im moving from QuarkXpress to InDesign, and Im setting up styles, templates, libraries, etc...
The issue Im having is that when I add an image with a text caption box in one of the columns, the text that wraps around the caption text box, no longer aligns to the other columns, its off. I can't get it to realign to the other columns.
Any help is appreciated.

1. Is the leading of your caption the same as the body text? If not, you have to choose to align the top of the first line (slightly jarring) or bottom of the last line.
2. It appears to me you have the caption vertically centred. That will make it far harder.
To make it feasible to do manually, you can set the caption box text frame to start at offset "Leading", move the text frame to start exactly at the bottom of the image, and make sure all your images' heights are multiples of your leading. Group the caption frame and the caption box to make moving around easier.
"Align to baseline" would be a good option, except that I find it too constricting on the entire rest of my designs (viz. the already observed "jump per entire line only"). One way around that is to set up your baseline grid to half, 1/3, or 1/4 of your leading. That way you have at least some control left over inter-paragraph whitespace, and you can still manually drag your images and have them snap to the closest "actual" baseline.

Need Help with Postioning Text Boxes

Hello,
I am fairly new to APEX, but I think I getting the hang of it. I am very much impressed with the functionality. I have a question and I hope someone can help me with it.
I have a Diagram that looks like:
X
X X X X
X X X X X
The X's represent values that will go in the them, source being an SQL Query so I though I could use TextBox Item and make the sqlquery which will be a count of some sort. This will be dynamically changed depending on user input.
I also have lines connecting to the X's and labels. So I created a table with the diagram as a background. So my dilema is that how do I reference ITEM Text boxes to be in the table. I tried
<table background="my_image.bmp"><tr><td>#ITEMS#:P1_X</td></tr><table>
but it only shows up as ":P1_X" not that actual ITEM, i know my syntax maybe wrong to reference the item, so that would be my first question.
Is there a way I can just position the actual textbox to in the table?
My second question, for positioning so the textboxes woudl line up where the X's are, should I use CSS, and if so, do I have to upload a Style Sheet?(which I don't mind, just wondering if there is a way to just use CSS in the Page HTML SOURCE?)
SO... basically I would like to know the best way to get these textboxes in the place where the X's are. The diagram is a image that is the background of a table. Any thoughts?

After posting the message my representation of the diagram is a bit off, it looks like a Tree diagram with spaces and teh first X being in the middle and equally spaced then on.

I can't do anything with the text boxes in my InDesign file.

I consider myself pretty good with InDesign. But, right now, I'm totally flummoxed. I've just spent two hours designing a newsletter front and inside front page. I've filled the two text boxes with text that I stole from a Word file. But, now, I can't do anything in those text boxes. I click and nothing happens. Nothing highlights. The frame isn't locked. I don't know what to do. I'm kind of freaked out that InDesign can do this to me.

How do I have an image move with a text box?

I need to embed an image within a text box so that when I add additional text in the future, the image moves with the text that surrounds it.
For example, if I have a paragraph of text, then on the following line vertically I have an image, then on the following line another paragraph of text ... When I add additional paragraphs of text above the image, how can I have the image track down to stay between the original two paragraphs of text?

Thanks Zak! I figured that out but now have another problem that I just posted. The app keeps locking up when I try to export HTML or upload my site to the server. Please give me any advise on how to handle it.
Here's my other post:
Hi,
I just upgraded to the latest version of Muse. I made a few changes to my site and I'm trying to export the HTML. I've now tried 3 times and the app locks up at 89%. It completes all pages, but locks up there. When I look into the Muse Export folder, there is nothing there. The window reads "Finishing export" but it stays at that point for more than an hour when I finally give up and force quit.
Any ideas? Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how to get my HTML exported successfully?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Just an update. Previously I was attempting to export HTML to the Muse Export folder on my computer. I described what happened above. Now, I'm trying to publish directly to my FTP site. Its doing basically the same behavior where it exports all desktop pages (189 of them) then it locks up. However, the interesting thing is that when exporting to the Muse Export folder on my computer this said it was 89% complete. When uploading to my server, it says its 59% computer when all pages have been exported. Both options result in the app locking up and never completing the export. I did check my site online to see if the pages were really updated. I made a change to the nav bar on the master so I should see that on every page. It is not showing up online yet even though the app says all 189 pages have been exported. Still looking for help, all advice and ideas will be appreciated! I do want to get my updates online.

Here's what I have when it locks up. It sits like this for hours.

Iam using a table in numbers to plot daily graph lines. If I fill a cell with a text box at say zero it plots the graph. I can't actually set the cell value until the actual day but the graph plots it at zero when I don't want it to plot anything. Is tho

I am using a table in Numbers to plot daily graph lines. Mood swings of how I am on the day, i"m a depressive.
If I fill a cell with a step box at say zero it plots the graph. I can't actually set the cell value until the actual day but the graph plots it at zero when I don't want it to plot anything. Is there a work around. so thatbgraph only plots on the day?

The answer is (sort of) in your subject, but edited out of the problem statement in the body of your message.
When you use a stepper or a slider, the value in the cell is always numeric, and is always placed on the chart if that cell is included in the range graphed by the chart.
But if you use a pop-up menu cell, you can specify numeric or text values in the list of choices for in the menu. Numeric values will be shown on the chart. Text values will not.
For the example, the values list for the pop-up menu was:
5
3
1
Choose
-1
-3
-5
The first pop-up was set to display Choose, then the cell was filled down the rest of the column. Any text value (including a single space, if you want the cell to appear blank) may be used instead of Choose.
For charts with negative Y values, the X axis will not automatically appear at Y=0. If your value set will include negative values, I would suggest setting the Y axis maximum and minimum to the maximum and minimum values on your menu list, rather than letting Numbers decide what range to include on the chart. Place a line shape across the chart at the zero level, and choose to NOT show the X axis.

Changing a PDF with a text box, and then flatten the text box onto the underlying PDF before sending the document out.

I download PDF documents from municipalities, often and from numerous municipalities.
They have a scanned image of a form that I need to fill out,
I enter my contact info as a text box onto the form, along with other information,
but when I save the document, there seems no way to flatten the fields so that the person I send the document to has a true PDF and cannot change the document.
They could delete one of the text boxes or change the text in the box (by mistake),
which could case some major complications.
How do I flatten the document, so I can send it back to the municipalities as a PDF that cannot be changed.
I am using Acrobat X Pro, on windows XP machine

I doubt you could fix this. Generally a "garbled" file is considered unusable for copying, and that's that. If a PDF uses random mappings instead of standard ones it looks fine on screen, but text extraction is impossible.
Short of converting every page to bitmap and OCRing again.

Issues with dynamic text box formatting

I'm running into issues with using HTML formatting for a dymanic text field. I know these are quirky and I cannot figure out how to get the formatting proper.
I have on my stage a dynamic text box called "content_txt" inside of a movie clip instance "content_mc". When it enters the frame, I fade the "content_mc" from alpha 0 to 100 using a timeline animation. In order for this to work, I have to embed the font in my "content_txt" text field. However, the only way I get get the HTML formatting to work is if I do not embed the font.
The dymanic text field is set to render as HTML. In my actions layer, I set the text:
this.content_mc.content_txt.htmlText = "<b>Hello world,</b> it is me again."
In summary:
1. If I do not embed the font, the alpha fade does not work but the HTML formatting does.
2. If I embed the font, the alpha fade works but the HTML formatting does not.
How do I resolve this? It's driving me nuts!

How do you embed just one style?
I've tried typing three words in the text field and formatting each (regular, bold, italic) but the text field just defaults to whichever format is first.
Also, I tried embeding the whole character list and did not have success.

Printing a movie clip with dynamic text boxes

I've got a certificate inside a movie clip, and i want the
dynamic text box to dispay the user name, but for some reason it is
coming up undefined, even though i have the dynamic text box set to
finalname = _root.inputname, but it comes up as undefined on the
screen. :( Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong?
Is there a way to print just a specific movie clip on the
screen? I can only print all the frames in the movie and without
the dynamic text box... any help would be greatly
appreciated.
