Losing Mouse-over highlights

I'm back with this one. Wacom is unfamiliar with the problem. It is recurring, and does always seem to follow user switching. Besides menu bar highlights and dock icon labels, I also lose window title bar gum drop highlights. No need to restart, however, as logging out and back in will restore the lost functions. I've unplugged the USB tablet and connected a generic USB mouse, but no change. I've uninstalled the latest tablet driver software, and re-installed the previous driver, with which I had no problems, and still having problems. Repaired permissions.
This is not that big of a deal compared to others here, but this Mini has been running flawlessly for over a year and it bugs me that this might be fixable but I haven't a clue what to try next. I saw one report at Macintouch of a fellow who had this problem after installing Panther last year on his computer, but I've drawn a blank with any other queries.
Just hoping someone who knows what's up will see this.

Hi lynxalot,
what you are describing sounds a bit like the Finder crashing. In your home folder, navigate to your Library and open the "Preferences" folder. Find the following two files and drag them to the desktop:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
If this solves your problem you can delete those two. If not, put them back into your "Preferences" folder.

CS3: mouse over, highlight only image

Hi,
I try to make the effect like in the attached file. I don't exactly know how to discribe it in english so I just made it in After Effects real quick :-)
At a mouse over only the image should be highlighted.
Hope you understand what I want to do.
Can someone please explain me how I can create this effect.
Greetings from Germany
Christoph

Just define the button so that the image is part of it. To do this, simply put all the layers you want into the button layer set. Then make the highlight layer so it covers only the image. When you mouse over the button, it will highlight the image.

Mouse over highlighting

Hello
i use layered menu in dvd studio. when i build the dvd, and played on computer, i have to click to the button to highlight, and click again to activate.
why must i click to highlight the menu? i want to highlight to mouse over. how?

Hi - welcome to the discussions. This is a fairly frequent question, and the answer is that this is the way layer based menus work. To get the rollover you have to use a standard overlay menu.

Xcelsius/Dashboard Design - mouse over capability doesn't work/losing hover

Hello there, I am currently in a tough situation. If any Xcelsius gurus can provide me with a solution, I would very much appreciate your help.
I currently have a dashboard with pie chart component in the default view. It has a radio button with two values. The mouse over doesn't work when the dashboard is loaded. However, when I make a selection in the radio button, the mouse over works for both the options. I have noticed this is a bug but if anyone has a solution or way around it, let me know.
Another issue - I have a 'All' view and 'Region' views in the menu bar. When a user clicks on a particular Region, then clicks all and goes back to a region, I lose the drill down capability on the pie chart thats on the Region view. initially, the mouse over and drill down works fine. However, after going to the All view and coming back to a region, this capability is lost. It acts the same way as the problem above. User can't hover nor drill down. If anyone has a solution to this, let me know.

FYI this is the article on the main forum page:
Announcement: New to Spry, or the Spry forums?

Before you post a topic please verify that:
You are using the latest Spry files
The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.

Losing Mouse "hand" over buttons when publish for Web.

Hi,
I'm new to Flash. I'm publishing a web-site and I lose the "Hand" icon for the mouse over buttons after I publish and run the HTML=>Swf files from the Browser. When I "Test the movie" from flash I see the "Hand" over buttons just fine.
Is there a publish setting that I'm missing which allows the hand to remain?
Please help.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi, Had to work yesterday.
At the moment I'm running/testing locally (which may be the problem) from a flash secure directory on my desktop. So no link sorry.
I think I need to look into setting up a test service with Yahoo or something. Any suggestions? I'm not really sure how to upload my completed website (.html and .swf files) to a service. That's a different topic/question. Any help along those lines is greatly appreciated.
Anyway, I'm using safari 5.1.7 on my IMac. and Safari 6.0.3 on my Mac Pro. and Firefox 21.0 (primarily) or Internel Explorer (rarely) on my "windows" laptop. The "Hand" works on all of these (files local to the respective computer) except the IMAC Safari 5.1.7 flash player 12.0 combination, which was my first test environment scenerio.
I'm planning to do two things.
1) Update my IMAC to Safari 6.0.
2) Set up a test area with a service provider. This in itself may resolve the issue for the Safari 5.1.7. At least I'll be testing in a "real world" environment.
So, thank you for your help with this. I think we can call it solved. If my testing on a true server shows the same results then I may shoot out another question. I think it is a nice goal to have our web site creations run on all platforms and browser comibations but is that realistic? If we test on as many combinations of the most recent software releases as we can with reasonable success what more can we do? I'd like to hear you opinion. Feel free to sent me an email.
Would you like me to open a new question/discussion regarding the help finding and uploading files to a service provider?
Thanks again,
Jeff

Mouse over - how to select text

Hi all,
I trying to build a function that when the mouse is moved over a text, then that text is selected and some actions are performed. At the moment I am using the g.drawstring() to place the text inside a jPanel, remember the XY coordinate of that text and then, when the mouseMoved event is trigger I compare the mouse position with the original drawing coordinate. It works fine if the string is single character, but it gets very complicated when the string is made up of several words "Hello Java" and I would like to select only the "Hello" or the "Java", as I don't know in advance the XY coordinate of the second word, as the font is not proportional (what I am doing now, is search for the " " and set boundaries of each individual word within the string...a bit cumbersome, but kind of works
My Question is:
is there a better way to place the string on the panel, other than the g.drawstring() that can make reading and identifying much easier? perhaps, placing the string inside some kind of other component which the mouse that 'identify' to be over more easily?
thanks for the help
P.S. I have read some posts, which address specific questions; mine is more a question on best architecture/availability of Java.components/API that can be used to do my task in the best way.

thanks for your reply.
I am basically trying to draw a node and edge pattern, where the nodes are the text strings and the edges are simple lines. posX and posY are the coordinate of where to strings are drawn. Now, what I would like to do is to move the mouse over and highlight (for exampl) the string but only single words, not the whole string (which could be, for exampl, "Hello Java"), so highilighting either Hello or Java, depending on where the mouse is. But I need to place the string (or the JLabel or JText) at specific posX, posY coordinates inside my JPanel.
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
/** SOME CODE*/
Font font = new Font("Arial Unicode MS", Font.PLAIN, 20);
g.setFont(font);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawString(textString panelXSize/2-posX, panelYSize/2-posY);
g.drawLine(panelXSize/2, panelYSize/2,panelXSize/2-posX, panelYSize/2-posY);
}

Mouse-over not working

My mouse-over isn't working well at all with anything. I can't activate expose by the corners of my desktop, app titles don't appear on my dock when i hover the cursor, no highlights in context menus and if the option i click has another context menu, i have to click that option twice, i had my dock on auto-hide and had to undo that because my cursor isn't recognized there either. And mouse-over within apps isn't working either (like Safari, iCal, etc)
I cant make any specific distinctions, but this all started right after downloading OS 3.1 for my iPod Touch. Just before that, I had installed iTunes 9. Don't know if there's any correlation to these updates, but after all was said and done that night, my mouse-over was pretty much disabled =\
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So, I'm not sure how, but switching out my mouse seemed to cure the problem. I am now in the market for a new mouse (cuz the substitute I'm using is too tiny lol)

Please, advise mouse-over instant word by word translation for FF9

in older version of FF I had INSTANT mouse-over the word Google translation add-on, which is not available at FF9 version. It is a huge inconvenience for me (and sure many others) , please advise which add-on has such option? I searched for one for a few weeks, and only found some with "highlight the word" (selection) option , which is quite disturbing and takes more time and does not always works when it's needed. PLEASE, advise if I can some how use google add-on again. Best regards,
Iri

Not sure how you ended up here. This is the discussion area for the iBook G4.
You want to post your question in the Intel iMac discussion area.

Mouse over question

i've made some buttons that on mouseover shows a larger picture above the button. when the cursor leaves that button though the picture disappears until the user mouses over the button again. is there a way to ensure that the picture stays up until the user mouses over another button (then they would see another image)?

Gotcha. Well, here's a "for instance."
Suppose you turn an image into a Movie Clip Symbol. The first frame of your new clip is where your initial button image is. On frame two insert a keyframe and name it "Start" or something like that.
Then, insert a new layer above your original button image. Using the square tool, draw a square over your image. Convert that square to a button symbol. Highlight it, then choose "Edit in Place." Highlight the square image again, right click and choose "cut." Insert a new keyframe on the "HIT" frame, then paste in place that square. You can exit edit in place.
Click on the button you just made, go to Actions and write something like this.
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("Start")};
This will move the playhead to the start frame. If you plan on animating your button, make sure you place a keyframe and the end of your animation. Open your actionscript layer, if you have one (otherwise, make one and insert a stop action in the last frame). stop();
This will make the movie play when someone rolls over the hit button you made, which is placed over your original image. It will stop the playhead wherever your button animation stops. If you do the same thing for another button, when the user clicks the other button it will move the playhead to that movie section.
I'm not the best at explaining these things, but hopefully that offers some clarity. I can try to get a little more detailed if need be.
Good luck.

Mouse Over event not dispatching properly.

Hi,
I am working on a scroll for iPhone, in which I'm using touch scrolling, it is working fine with less number of list items, but when I increases the nuber of items in scroll list, the mouse over event not propogates properly, I mean to say those events are overlapping due to some extra memory issue, can any one have any idea about it.
I'm pasting code for your reference :
public function IPhoneScroll( pContent:DisplayObjectContainer, pStage:Stage ) {
                              _stage = pStage;
                              _myScrollElement = pContent;

The highlighted part is working properly for less items but not for more number of items, lets say 200 movieclips in scroll lists.
Please help me on this, thanks in advance.

Callback called when mouse over

I have a button which have a callback. When the mouse is over the button (without click), the callback is called. I would like to have the callback called only on mouse click and not on mouse over. Is it possible ?

sfl,
Right-click the button in UIR editor and choose View Control Callback.
You will be directed to the C-file that has the code for the button's callback.
In this (highlighted) callback function, you will see a switch-case statement.
Remove the block for the case EVENT_MOUSE_OVER. Simply select with cursor and delete.
To change the defualt event setting (to avoid getting this event for newly created buttons) :
Open your UIR file, and select Code > Preferences > Default Events from the menu.
There you can select for which events the code generator will create a case statement further on.
Hope this helps,

I've trashed the preferences file and also reset/shutdown the mac but it's still not working.
Can anybody help
Thanks.

I'm logging this fix myself in-case anybody else searches this problem.
Basically:
1/ Shutdown the Mac
2/ Hold down the "Apple" Key, The "alt" key, The "R" key and the "P" key all together that's 4 keys!
3/ Turn on your mac
4/ The mac will make the boot sound, make sure it does it at least two time then let go of the keys.
5/ Once the mac has booted up this should fix the problem.
Disclaimer: This worked for me and the information was given to me by Mac support. If your un-sure about anything phone mac support if you don't want to risk anything.

Mouse over / rollover

Can you do mouse overs or rollovers on iWeb? Where you drag the pointer over a link and the links enlarges or highlights.
Sully

You can't create those kind of rollovers IN iWeb. You'd have to create your graphics separately and then edit your files after publishing. iWeb only handles creating graphic rollovers when you use a non web safe font (it gets converted to a set of png's in the default text rollover colors). I've got an example of using text dingbats as rollovers here.
http://web.mac.com/makentosh/iWeb/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/416F8EE3-F511-47E8-84F E-80851728F54B.html
I've got another page here (along with a demo file for download) that displays how you can create full color rollovers using the demo version of eZedia QTI. It has it's own drawbacks in that you still have to edit your files after publishing for Windows browsers (to make it look better). Also, for IE specifically, if you use a background graphic, it can't be a .png or worrying things will happen.

The cpu resources are only limited once the cpu's are 100% utilized. It is highly unlikely that dom0 will try to use 100% of a cpu, let alone all cpus. Only when there are no idle physical cpus would you run into issues.
You may want to try reducing the number of vcpus in the windows guest. I have seen reports from users claiming that having more vcpus in a windows guest causes it to run slower.

How to get mouse over shape to display data in Visio 2013?

Hi Visio pros,
I am required to create a diagram of our servers rack setup and will be publishing to a Web page using Visio 2013.
The goal is to mouse over the server shape and have the data be displayed. I have followed arguably every solution on the internet. I am either doing it wrong, or it might be outdated information.
I'm hoping Paul Herber, or other Visio pros would be able to help me with this situation as I am on a tight schedule and have exhausted my resources.
Things I have tried:
user.visEquivTitle in ShapeSheet
http://visualsignals.typepad.co.uk/vislog/2012/02/no-mouseover-with-visequivtitle.html
and
prop.(data name) in the comments within the miscellaneous section of the ShapeSheet.

Hi Sir!
I am open to the possibility that I may have done something wrong as I am very new to Visio.
Here are the steps I followed:
http://visio.mvps.org/ShapeSheet/
Browser that I am using is Internet Explorer since I ran into problems with Google Chrome.
However, after more reading I noticed the User.visEquivTitle provides a tooltip. If it is what I think it is, which is a small yellow box displaying a string, my employer would not want that.
We're looking for something that will provide an aesthetic display of data after mouse over onto the shape.
Thank you very much for your help.
