Making a button disapear when not selected

Is there anyway I can make it so my custom button apears when it is selected, but disapear when it's not (rather than a color change). I can't seem to figure this out. Any suggestins would be greatly appreciated.

That didn't seem to work because I have a video file as the background and I am still getting the keyed colors as highlight rather than an image file.
This is Basically what I want to do, but in DVD SP:

The arrow should be an IMAGE file, NOT a highlight color that DVD SP creates. Is this even possible? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Making custom buttons dissappear when not selected

I am trying to get around the limitiation of not being able to add audio to a layered menu item.
Correct me if I am wrong but I think if I create my own buttons (that would reflect the same look as the active layers of the Photoshop file) then I could have audio in the Menu with the same look using the buttons I create.
Here is my question ... Is it possible to have a button dissappear when its not in the "activated" or "selected" state? I figure that I can create the button to look like the same active state and have the normal state revealed in the background graphic when the button is deselected. I just don't know how to make the button invisible or transparent when its not "selected" or "activated"
Thanks in advance
Lou ..

Yes use overlays for the buttons and do not highlight them in normal state (though you may consider having something showing for normal state so people know it is there as oppossed to totally not visibale)
Some examples and techniques showing mapping and then some others with video backgrounds also

How do you make a custom button that is Invisible When not selected

Im just recently switching over to using a mac for authoring. I really like all the features in DVD Studio more than what i was using on a PC for the past 6 years. Which was ulead DVD Workshop 2.
The only problem im having (For Now) is that i cant make my custom buttons invisible. I made this little black shape thing in photoshop and i want to use it in DVDSP for selecting different tracks.
I thought all i had to do was just save the black shape with a transparent background in photoshop as a .psd and import it. But that didnt work.
When i change episodes it just stays black the whole time. I want something that will be invisible when it is not selected.
please help
I can send someone my little shape if they can make it a usable button that i can make invisible in dvdsp. I really need to see the layers done with a shape as a button to see how they were able to make it invisible.
i tried a few tutorials but instead of being invisible all i got was a shape that was stuck white the whole time. this is even when i put the opacity to 0 on normal.
I want to make this into a button

Ok, what you want to do is also in the same tutorial. See the section on "Advanced Highlights" (again, avoid the sections on layered menus), You can create an overlay that does have two colors. The bad news is that there will be absolutely no anti-aliasing at all. This means your graphic will be extremely pixelated. This is just the way the DVD specs are set up, so there is no way around it.
Given that I would highly recommend redesigning your overlay. Take a look at variety of DVDs from Hollywood. See what they are doing in their menus. You can do anything they are doing, but you will notice that the overlay is very simple because of the limited anti-aliasing of DVDs. In all the years that I've been watching DVDs I've only see one DVD use two colors in the overlay, and that was the Jim Carey "The Grinch who Stole Christmas."

Back button disapears when resource bundle is used

I created a header containing a OutputText. The value of the OutputText is defined by a ResourceBundle. Now, when I start the application, the back-button appears to be under the OutputText, even if the value defined in the ResourceBundle is a really small string.
This is what I have defined in the AMX file:
<amx:facet name="header">
<amx:outputText id="outputText1" value="#{viewcontrollerBundle.ORDER}"/>
<amx:commandButton id="commandButton1" action="__back" text="#{viewcontrollerBundle.BACK}"/>
</amx:facet>
This is what I have defined in the ResourceBundle:
<trans-unit id="ORDER">
<source>B</source>
<target/>
Even if I put only one character in there, the back button is nearly not visible.

You should put your back button in the "primary" facet. This is what it is meant for. Then it gets the correct placement and it will also get the back arrow styling by default.
Then your markup would look like this:
<amx:facet name="header">
<amx:outputText id="outputText1" value="#{viewcontrollerBundle.ORDER}"/>
</amx:facet>
<amx:facet name="primary">
<amx:commandButton id="commandButton1" action="__back" text="#{viewcontrollerBundle.BACK}"/>
</amx:facet>
The primary facet (in iOS) appears in the upper left and the secondary facet appears in the upper right. The notion of the facets let's the framework move these around in different in future if the platforms change and thus you don't need to change your markup, we simply move the placement of the facet.

IPhone iOS 7 music appears when not selected

iPhone 4 and upgraded to iOS 7
In Music are tracks I have not selected.
I disabled sync any music and in iPhone settings disabled "Show Alll Music"
BUY I still have 54 tracks on my iPhone.
What is going wrong?
iOS 7 is horrid: what possessed Apple!

Very many thanks for a super fast and effective solution.
Music has gone but I am still left (in Music) with an unselected music video. How do I rid myself of that?
Your support is much appreciated.
Thank you

Notes syncing to iCloud even when not selected in preferences

I do not want Notes that I create on my MBP to go to iCloud. Therefore I have deselected it from the iCloud preferences. In fact, that option was never selected. However, I notice that every time I create a new Note, it still goes to iCloud. How do I make it stop?
I have tried logging out and logging back in to iCloud on my Mac, but it still continues to send my Notes to the cloud.
Thanks,
KP

Any photos you sync to your phone that contain Faces "Identified people" will show up on the Faces list on the iPhone. They appear because you chose the photo or album to sync, not because you selected the person under Faces.

Like button disapears when muse site uploaded to Business Catalyst

This is my Muse page
This is what happens when it goes into business catalyst - like button just drops off. Adobe - please HELP!!!!!!

Hi Grant,
Because for now CSS and HTML file editing is incompatible with Muse (e.g. republishing your site will potentially overwrite all the changes), we've decided to hide the file manager for Muse users.
However, there is a way to re-enable it. In order to enable site management for your user, please log into your site, and click on "My Details" (upper right). In the My details page, please check the option "Enable online content editing (incompatible with Muse)", and enter the password to confirm. A new entry (Site Manager) will appear in your menu.

Safari installs ASU even when not selected

I have seen this with iTunes 8, and now with Safari 4, that even though I specifically turned off the option to install Apple Software Update, still gets installed.
So off to Programs and uninstall again.
Does this fly under the radar? not really an option? a "bug"? or just doesn't take "No" for an answer?
I also don't want any extra services, like Bonjour to be installed (and actually not install!) Same for MobileMe (why does Safari need Bonjour again? that's rhetorical).
Seems like any Apple software is really pushing updates; the old problem of downloading other apps isn't happening, but I need to go into msconfig along with to uninstall extra applications and services.

Just installed Safari 4.04 for Windows.
Apple Software Update still installs when option is turned off, shows up in msconfig and Programs folder.
ASU is also found in Programs and Features control panel.
Using Windows 7 "Troubleshoot Compatibility" it shows as an Incompatible Application.
I wanted to troubleshoot someone else's issues with Java, Flash, and BBC.
Safari installs its own Plug-in folder?
Why is that needed? to link to Java? to install its version which was older than current?
Doesn't seem Windows 7 friendly.
Why or what is "Apple Application Support" now listed in Programs?
Bonjour was not installed, in compliance with my wishes that it not be.
iTunes 9.03 x64 - "Incompatible Application" with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (Troubleshoot Compatibility).

Firefox "check for add-on updates" checks even when not selected, request website list for firewall blocking purposes

I work for the Tech Department in a school district. Our student computers are locked down and all settings are reset after a restart. We have set firefox to always allow all add-ons to run and to never check for updates (we update them on a schedule we control). However, since the latest release, we have been prompted after EVERY flash AND EVERY java update that they are out of date and need to be updated. Having the students click on this every time for every affected webpage is no longer an option. We are also not interested in white-listing pages individually; instead, we would like to prevent firefox from finding the update server to prevent any further prompts.
Please provide me with all of the websites/web addresses that "check for add-on updates" uses so we can block them at the firewall level.
Thanks

Part of the problem may be the recent flurry of required updates to FlashPlayer. As I understand it Mozilla took the exceptional step of blocklisting some of those FlashPlayer versions after fixes were released because there were known exploits in the wild.
* See the blocklist
* And flashplayers bulletins https://helpx.adobe.com/security.html#flashplayer
Possibly you are having difficulty in keeping the software updated and so seeing valid warnings from Firefox. You appear (System info aside) to be posting using Firefox 34. The current Release is Fx35.0.1
Possibly it would be worth you considering using Firefox ESR, that still has regular updates including backported critical security fixes, but the major version stays the same for longer and there are less frequent feature changes.

Trackpad clicking when not selected.

Hello,
I bought my macbook pro in august and have had no problems with it until recently. Sometimes my computer will just click for no reason. this is very frustrating! It doesn't matter what i'm doing...surfing the web, or writing a paper. Sometimes it will go on for 5 minutes, or just randomly do it. Is there anything i can do to fix this? It also seems that at times the mouse doesn't want to move.

I have exactly the same problem. Anybody know the solution please?

Further to my question, when I plug in and select my iPad 2 I don't have the same problem. I have restored the settings on my iPod Touch and updated both iTunes and iPod Touch software and restarted my iPod touch. Nothing has made any difference.

GO-ITEM - WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED - SQLAP-10048 - You have not selected a record.

Hi,
I need to use go-item -> execute-trigger(when-button-pressed) personalization in oracle EBS Payables module. However i face certain problem.
When i do 'go-item' to particular 'button', row selection disappear(its a multi row block). In the result i receive an error - 10048 - you have not selected a record.
Manually you just click a button with row selected, and everything goes fine. There must be some kind of a context parameter which is passed from a block/record/row to a button. However how to achieve this through personalization?
Many thanks for every help.
Best regards,
Martin

write a procedure in forms that disables all your items in that record and call this on When-New-Record-Instance and When-Button-Pressed.
PROCEDURE disable_item IS
BEGIN
IF :<block>.indicator = 'X'
THEN
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('<block>.<item>, CURRENT_RECORD, INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('<block>.<item>, CURRENT_RECORD, UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
.. (repeate this t2o Statemnts for every item,
more elegantliy you may write a loop using built-in NEXT_ITEM to get all items and set insert and update off) ...
END IF;
END;
On When-Button-Pressed set the value of :block.indicator to 'X' before calling the disable_item procedure.
Attemtion: This solution assumes that the button is part of your MR block (cited bove as <block>).

Help: Need to calculate a radio button when selected or not selected

I am hoping its possible to use a script to calculate a radio button when it is selected. For example:
My form has 4 grouped radio buttons (Radio Button 1-4) of 5 buttons.
So its something like this:
     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Level 4     Level 5
1.   RB1          RB1            RB1           RB1         RB1
2.   RB2          RB2            RB2           RB2         RB2
3.   RB3          RB3            RB3           RB3         RB3
4.   RB4          RB4            RB4           RB4         RB4
Items areas total:               Total Points:               Average Score:
The buttons already have different values set for each button to calculate a score in the "Total Points" text field. (Level 1 scores 1, Level 2 scores 2, etc.)
I would like to have the "Items areas total" text field to calculate either a value of 1 if selected or a 0 if not selected. So if 3 of the 4 rows are selected a return of "3" is calculated, if all 4 rows are selected then it returns "4", etc.
Seems it would be a simple script.
Thanks

Hi Franklin,
I understand that we can show the selected row in different color.
But still there is a requiremnet given saying that there should be an radio button or Select button or check box (Checked only one at a time of several rows) apart from showing the selected row in a different color.
Current display of the page:
We have three regions, 1> Main region, 2> Master region, 3> Detail region.
Main region has some text parameters, Master region has a adf:table and when ever you select a row on the master region the detail region values are getting refreshed based on the row selected.
Is there any simple way apart from adding a boolean transient attribute to VO and displaying it as one of the column in adf:table?
Thanks,
Sandeep
