Make a menu to filter slides on project

Hey guys, I recently downloaded Captivate 2 (just 2 or 3
weeks before the new Captivate 3 was released, lol) and I was
wondering.... well I'm making a project of a tutorial on how to use
a program; it's a very huge program, since it has lots of
transactions (it´s administrative software) so we made a
project per transaction, but on several transactions there is more
than one function, I mean, on one transaction you can view
historial, change times or quantities, etc.
Well the point here is that I want to make a menu to "filter
" the slides on the project, for example, if the guy that's using
the tutorial ONLY wants to know how to enter on certain transaction
and view the historial, can I make a menu for him to click on it
and jump directly and play only the slides on the project that are
related to that part of the transaction???
Thanks a lot for reading this, I appreciate any help on the
topic ;)

Hi again Chantal
Basically, this is a simple two level menu. Initially you are
prompted for the verbiage that will appear on level one. After you
supply that and click OK to dismiss the dialog and commit the
verbiage, you will need to click the Add... button again. This
time, however, you should see the options you are looking for.
Cheers... Rick

New to iMovie - Slide Show project

I've been lurking in the iMovie discussions for a couple of months now, and I'm trying to absorb the knowledge of the community. I'm also working my way through "The Missing Manual" which is invaluable. I have two projects in mind, so I'm starting two threads to ask for advice.
First is my "Slide Show" project. I have around two thousand jpeg pictures from my daughter's wedding, and I'd like to put together a DVD of the wedding. This sounds fairly straightforward to me, but I'd like your advice on my plan.
The project starts with an outline on paper of the structure of the project - starting with David Pogue's "22 Shots for Your Wedding Video" from the Missing Manual.
Question 1: I'm thinking of a 20 to 30 minute show, with each slide on screen for 3 to 4 seconds, and a simple cross dissolve between most pictures - maybe a Ken Burns Effect thrown in as a transition between sections, say between the church and the reception. Is this a reasonable length and plan?
Question 2: I'm thinking of using a series of approximately one-minute music clips for the sound. Many years ago, in a different forum, I read a comment that the sound track was more difficult than the video, so I was thinking of putting the music together first, and laying the pictures over it. I'm planning to use Amadeus II to build the audio track, with fades from song to song. Then maybe just import the 20 or 30-minute sound track into iMovie and fit the video by adjusting each picture's duration. Is this a reasonable plan? Would I be better off to feed iMovie smaller chunks at a time?
Question 3: With no disrespect to iPhoto, I've grown up using Graphic Converter and so I plan to use it to shuffle through the 2000 pictures, sort and select those I want to use, and then crop them to 720 x 528 (or 1.364:1) for use without the Ken Burns effect. I realize that part of the elegance of iMovie is it's integration with the i-Suite, but is there any other downside to this plan?
Question 4: I also understand that I do not want to let iMovie render my stills, but to let iDVD do it. To do this, I would just quit my project without letting iMovie render it, and then open it in iDVD, correct?
Sorry for the length of this post - I've been thinking a lot about this project, but it's time to start doing rather than just thinking!
Thanks,

Hi Joe
Q1: About 300 to 600 slides sounds OK when there is a line in the story and
some nice music also will make it easier to appreciate.
Q2: I would import the 300 to 600 photos I need and work with them. Putting in
the Music first is the way I think animatours usually do it. I would at least.
Q3: I would Create a new folder "Photos" and with GraphicConverter™ convert
them to high quality jpegs and into the new folder. I wouldn't do anything about
size but let iMovie do it's job. If some photos showes up flickerings premiary
in thin lines. (You need to connect Your miniDV camera to Your Mac and to
a TV-set to be able to judg final quality). Then I would manually open each of
them in PhotShop and add a little "Gaussian blurr" to them.
Of course crop to right size first.
I-sight - I have no experience of it - sorry.
Q4: I do it another way.
a) Close iMovie
b) find the project icon/folder
c) Ctrl-click on it and Show package.
d) in this there are a folder -> Shared Movies -> iDVD
e) in this there is a QT movie nnnnnnn.mov
- You can test this with QT-player to see that it is OK -
START A NEW iDVD project - so that old material will not interfere.
f) drop this into an open theme in iDVD (just inside the edge of the
window) and save it as a desktop image
(if iDVD prior HD/5 You have to add a hack to make this possibly
named HPfurz and install it)
Test this with Apple DVD-player - OK then burn it with iDVD
or Toast if You have and don’t want to re-code the movie.
(in iDVD 5 You can drop Your iMovie project icon directly into a theme window)

How to make a menu (opened by an on click event) stay open on the following pages

Hi,
I have a side menu that shows the main headings only, when clicked it displays the rest of the menu using and slide effect, with an option to close the menu, on reversing the slide. This all works perfectly but what i want to be able to do is, when a users opens a menu and then uses that menu to navigate to another page, on that new page i want that menu that was opened to stay open on this next page.
The code i have so far is below:
// the function for the effect
function MM_effectBlind(targetElement, duration, from, to, toggle)
 Spry.Effect.DoBlind(targetElement, {duration: duration, from: from, to: to, toggle: toggle});
// the function to ensure the menu is unopened on page load
function myFuncDisplay (){
document.getElementById ('menu1').style.display='none';
document.getElementById ('menu2').style.display='none';
document.getElementById ('menu3').style.display='none';
document.getElementById ('menu4').style.display='none';
document.getElementById ('menu5').style.display='none';
<body onload="myFuncDisplay ();">
// the first menus code in the side menu that creates the on click and close menu actions
Menu One 
 <div id="menu1">
 close menu 
 <a href="firstLink.php">First Link</a>
 <a href="secondLink.php">Second Link</a>
 <a href="thirdLink.php">Third Link</a>
I have tried setting a variable in the on click event then in the function myFuncDisplay() doing if else clauses to check if the variable was set and if so displaying the div as block in that function, expecting just that menu to display opened in sunsequent pages, it didn't work, itstead it displayed all menus open?
Please can someone help me with a suggestion of how I can make this work, thank you in advance, i look forward to any replies.

Hi,
thanks for your reply, i am not actually using the spry menu, i am using the 'blind' effectthat I have adapted as per the code given, I wanted to make a menu that would open on click and the effect i have used works well, now however I want the effect to remain open on different pages, as explained. i am looking for a way of adapting the function that makes the rest of the menu hidden on page load. So on page load the menu is hidden as per adapted code, apart from the menu heading, if the menu heading is clicked the menu opens, with an option to close it, if the user clicks on a link in the menu the new pages loads and the menu is closed as per the onload instruction , I want a way to distinguish if the menu was clicked in one page it will recognise that and in the next page will not hide that particular menu until the user closes it themselves.
Hope that makes it a bit clearer? look forward to any further help.

Ideas to make a menu?

What would be an easy way to make a menu in captivate?
I have made this small tutorial, where you can go back and
forth.
But what I would like, would be to let people know exactly
where they are in the process, and also be able to quickly get to
different points in the process with one click.
A menu in one of the sides would take care of that quite well
I imagine.
Then you would have all the different steps in the menu, so
you could easily skip a few steps at once, or jump back to a
specific step very easily.
And I imagine that the respective menu-items would be
highlighted as they were played/selected.
Any ideas to accomplish that?
I heard some people here mention MenuBuilder, but I was
thinking it might be possible without ... or what?
Thanks in advance.
All sorts of suggestions are welcomed!

If you're willing to go with a third-party solution, a
company I work
with has developed a very functional 'shell' program in Flash
that can
work with Captivate files, among other types, to package the
assets into
one, pretty, XML-driven package. It's SCORM-compliant too, if
that makes
a difference. It isn't necessarily cheap but could be a good
solution if
you need to use it for several different projects.
It is similar to, but pretty and more advanced than, Jesse
Warden's
player, found here:

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.

G'day. I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space. How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

G'day. I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space. How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

Best way to make a menu that shows up on all pages and that's easy to add links to later?

Hi everyone, first post on the forums. I am very new to using Dreamweaver and making web pages in general, so bear with me
Here's what I want to do:
1. Make a web site with a menu bar on the left with about 30 links.
2. All 30 links go to different pages on the same website, and each page has the exact same layout, only the body text is different (same placement of advertising, menu, etc.)
3. I want to be able to add links to that menu quickly and easily.
In other words, I basically want to just make one static menu that shows up the same way on each page of my site.
Now, how I am thinking is best to do this is to make one menu its own page (in its own frame??) and just have each page on my site link to that menu, so that whenever I want to update the menu, I don't have to update the static menu on each page of my website, only the one menu.html or whatever.
This is probably the easiest thing in the world to do and I'm probably not using the proper terminology or anything, but I hope that I have explained myself clearly.
Please respond if you have any ideas about how to accomplish this. Thank you!

While Breqent is right that server side includes are the best way of doing this if you aren't up on
server side coding then you can use Dreamweaver to manage you menu.
You do this by simply ensuring you never edit the menu area on any individual page.
It should therefore be identical on all page and as such you can just use find and replace across the entire site or folder to edit all occurances of your menu.
I hope this helps.

How can I make the menu text in Elements 11 larger?

I am having trouble reading the menu text in Elements 11 that I juat purchased. I have found that with many programs there is a way to enlarge the menu text, but so far I have not been able to find a way to make the menu text large enough for me to read unless I am about 1' away from the screen which I am sure you can imagine is not reasonable or acceptible.

Sorry to say but enlarging menu text is not possible in photoshop elements. You can try adjusting resolution to a lower value so that the menu text becomes a bit bigger.

How can I make a menu that loops until it gets a user input?

Can someone please show me how to make a menu that loops with if statements until a valid choice is made by the user?

I have a menu similar to the following, but it doesn't loop and when you choose an item it doesn't seem to execute the If statements correctly.
String input;
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Make a menu choice");
System.out.println("1) Browse");
System.out.println("2) Buy");
System.out.println("3) Sell");
input = in.nextLine();
in.close();
*if (input == "1") {*
Application choice = new Application();
choice.browse();
Note: It doesn't seem to display the output of browse although it looks like it is executing it, why is this? Also, if input = 1 it still executes the else statements too why is this?

How to make a menu for MHP

Hi, im trying to make a menu for mhp app, and i dont know what its the best 'tactic' for this.
My idea is to make own class like this:
class Menu extends HContainer
 private Font fuente;
 private Color colorLetra, colorFondoTexto, colorFondo;
 private HTextButton[] boton;
 int x, y, ancho, largo;
 // numVisible es el n�mero de valores que queremos se puedan ver en el men� al mismo tiempo
 // x, y es para que nos indique el punto inicial donde queremos que aparezca el men�
 // ancho para saber el ancho del menu
 // largo para saber el largo que debe tener - debe relacionarse con el n�mero de elementos a mostrar en pantalla
 public Menu(String[][] matriz, int x, int y, int ancho, int largo, int tamFuente)
 this.setBounds(x,y,ancho, largo);
 this.setVisible(true);
 colorLetra = Color.white;
 colorFondoTexto = Color.green;
 System.out.println("longitud de la matriz:"+ matriz.length);
 fuente = new Font("Tiresias", 1, tamFuente);
 int esp = 0;
 boton = new HTextButton[matriz.length];
 System.out.println("A ver si veo el elemento de la matriz: "+ matriz[5][1]);
 for (int i = 0; (i < matriz.length) ; i++){
 System.out.println("for " +i);
 // A ARREGLAR
 boton[i] = new HTextButton(matriz[1], 0, esp, 314, 20, fuente, colorLetra, colorFondo, new HDefaultTextLayoutManager());
 esp = esp + 20;
 if ((i != 0) & (i != matriz.length-1)){
 boton[i].setFocusTraversal(boton[i-1], boton[i+1], boton[i], boton[i]);
 else if (i == 0)
 boton[i].setFocusTraversal(boton[i], boton[i+1], boton[i], boton[i]);
 else boton[i].setFocusTraversal(boton[i-1], boton[i], boton[i], boton[i]);
 this.add(boton[i]);
 } // fin constructor
its a good idea? or there are better. Its first time i try make gui menu, and i dont know how to make it. I dont find information at internet, and ther isnt in book 'Interactive TV standards'. If you know some place with good tutorial (or book), please tell me!
Thanks all

I want to make a dvd menu in iMovie because i don't have IDVD and can't find anywhere to download it?
For making DVDs I would recommend iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 both readily available on Amazon or eBay. Shop for iLife 06 and iLife 09.
You can make menus and chapters with any version of iMovie except the latest one. There's nothing wrong with iMovie 11 either but I prefer iMovie 06.
By using iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 I make DVDs with professional moving menus with very little effort. They look almost as good as Hollywood.

Nothing I have tried in the template makes the BODY tag editable. That's why I'm wondering how to disconnect the template from the individual pages. Adding an ID to each body tag is a prerequisite of the how-to page you supplied.
You don't make the <body> tag editable in a Template.
You make attributes of the <body> tag editable.
Don't disconnect the Template from the child pages.

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7aa3a.h tml
In the Template:
Select the <body> tag (either in the Tag selector or click inside the <body> tag in Code View)
Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
Select ID from the Attribute dropdown menu
If there's no existing ID attribute then click Add and type ID into the next dialogue box
Attribute: ID
Check the box to "Make attribute editable"
Enter anything into the Label field as a default e.g. foo
OK
Dreamweaver will change the <body> tag to read <body id="@@(foo)@@"....
Now the ID is editable
Save the Template and update the child page
In each child page:
Modify > Template Properties
Select the id attribute from the list (it's probably the only one listed)
Change its name in the box to whatever name matches your CSS rule for the active state for that page
OK
Save
Upload
