Making a button for a song

I am making an iWeb site to showcase music but the QT loads slowly and I ran across a way to make a HTML snippet with inserted code here: http://web.me.com/toad.hall/Demo_2/Widget-Window.html.
My question is how to accomplish "URL to location of linked file" which I supply inserted into the code. The songs are on my hard drive right now. What is the path? Do I upload them to the iWeb server? Its all new to me and I'm confused. It is probably very simple but can't find the answer. Maybe someone can help. Thanks in advance.

I've done a whole section on Music Players here...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/MusicPlayers/Players.html
You'll find a variety of ways to play your music and also stuff about file paths.
There's also some downloadable tutorials for the more complicated players here...

Making a button for a third party plug-in

Hello there,
I've just downloaded and started playing with Configurator.
My problem is that I would really like to add buttons for two
plug-ins I've added to photoshop.
(Picturecode Noise Ninja and Alien Skin Exposure 2).
These plug-ins do not appear on the drop down list in
Configurator.
Is there any way I can modify the script box in order to
launch a non-standard plugin?
Similarly, I have a Script (Showit Borders) that I'd like to
make a button for.
Many thanks,
Miller.

id try it but i use neatimage for noise...
your actions are all created with selecting a new action,
then going to INSERT MENU ITEM within the actions panel so that you
could then manually add a plugin to your action, yes?
as opposed to actually hitting RECORD for a new action and
then going to the plugin within the normal dropdown menu, which
might then cause problems with some plugins, because your not just
adding the plugin window to popup this way, your adding the plugin
window to use the settings you recorded with, and if its noise
reduction, it could be trying to pull the exact-named file into its
profiler...im just taking a stab at the cause...

A few questions on making animated buttons for a website Nav

Hello, I have a few questions on creating some animated buttons for a nav.
There are 2 actions I want to trigger on moue over.
If I want to use a static (PNG) image that I created in Photoshop for the actual button, can I use that? I want to smoothly slide button down on mouse-over and slide back up on mouse off. If I push part of the button off the "canvas" (sorry, this is coming from a Photoshop guy) will it disappear in the final animation? Another way to put that is, if I put an animated element off the white area, will it no longer show up in the movie (.swf) when it's published?
For the second part; you can see a bit of what I want to do if you look at this website's top Nav: http://www.photoshopsupport.com/index.html
I need the "light" above the button and it's going to be on another colored <div> so I can't set one solid BG color for my flash document. But I want to achieve the effect of the "bar" lighting up above the button and the actual button sliding down upon moue over.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Regarding this button problem mentionned by kglad, it is easily overcome with a little trick.
I call this the undesired "jumpy button". Your button starts to hesitate down-back-down-back quickly, like it's a bug, and then it settles.
What you could do is create a simple sprite or movieclip containing only a simple shape, whatever the color, put it on top of your button's graphic, change this sprite/movieclip's alpha to 0, then add your mouse events on this invisible "target" instead of your graphic. So, when you mouse over, you have the graphic move, not the invisible "target".
Sometimes, for this invisible target, you will be using a movieclip, not a sprite, so you can easily add your own properties on it.
Example:
var graphicBtn:Sprite; // your png
var targetBtn:MovieClip; // your invisible target, created with code or not
targetBtn.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
targetBtn.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, graphicBtn.width, graphicBtn.height);
targetBtn.alpha = 0;
targetBtn.mygraphic = graphicBtn;
targetBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver);
targetBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onOut);
addChild(graphicBtn);
addChild(targetBtn);
function onOver(event:MouseEvent):void
TweenLite.to(event.target.mygraphic, 0.25, {y:40, ease:Back.easeOut});
function onOut(event:MouseEvent):void
TweenLite.to(event.target.mygraphic, 0.25, {y:0, ease:Cubic.easeOut});
So you see, you can have only one function (well, 1 for over, 1 for out) used for all your buttons. You can add as many properties you need on your movieclip to make that one-function flexible.
Here I used GreenSock's tweening engine, but use the one you prefer (Here, I am moving the graphicBtn in y for 0.25 second).

How to stop itunes making separate folders for every song

Each time i open a new tune in itunes it keeps making a separate folder for them which i dont want, i just want all my tunes in itunes media/music folder as they are.
I have unchecked to stop itunes organizing them but it still happens.
Kind Regards
Martyn

an alternative approach would be to keep both options in the advanced preference tab checked and drag the content from its current location into an open iTunes window *while holding the option key*.
iTunes will index the path to the original's location but not copy the file physically.
avoids having to check the settings on the advanced tab every time.

Making different beats for one song on ultrabeat?

*hi there,*
*im using ultrabeat, but dont want the same beat running through the whole song for example from the bridge to the chorus i want a build up, but i dont know if you can do this on ultrabeat ? please reply thanks !!*

You can program ultrabeat to perform a whole song using using the step sequencer but I find this rather time consuming. Next to the word "pattern" in the lower left of ultrabeat is a shaded square. You can drag the square into the arrange window - it will create a midi region, which you can loop/copy etc. You can then change the rhythm or program a completely new one in ultrabeat and do the same again as many times as you like without altering the rhythms you have already dragged into the arrange window. Building up a song is much easier this way.
The shaded square thing is available in 7.2 - earlier versions don't seem to have it but I'm sure there must be another way of doing the same thing.

HT201209 Trying to redeem a free download for a song from KLove. When I get into my acct & try to redeem it, it just keeps bringing up the "sign-in" box. When I click the button on KLove's webpage to redeem it takes me to that page but does the same thing

Trying to redeem a free download for a song from KLove. When I get into my acct & try to redeem it, it just keeps bringing up the "sign-in" box. When I click the button on KLove's webpage to redeem it takes me to that page but does the same thing

Get the redeem code from the KLove page:
http://www.klove.com/music/store.aspx
...and enter it into the Redeem Code box in the iTunes Store.
You will have to sign in to your iTunes account.
It worked fine here. If that doesn't work for you, let us know what went wrong.

Where is the "repeat" button for songs/albums/playlists?

Where is the "repeat" button for songs/albums/playlists? It used to be next to the random play button.

You can access the repeat options if you right-click on the shuffle icon, or if menus are enabled you can use
Controls > Repeat > Off | All | One.
Once the control is visible you can click it to switch between states as before. If the control is turned to off it disappears on the next track change. In contrast the shuffle control remains visible whenever it is appropriate. Hopefully the next release will fix this.

In making a form, I've used buttons for user to select a state. Can I make it go to cities next?

I don't know the correct terminology, so I don't think that I've posed my question very well. Employees will be using the form that I'm trying to make, and I want for them to be able to select a city from a large number of cities, and for that city to ultimately show up on the form (not merely in the data that is output.)
I thought that the clearest way for them to select a city would be for them to start by selecting the pertinent state first. That would allow the list of cities in that state to be shorter and more manageable. So I'd like for them to be able to select a state, and then by virtue of that selection, have a list of cities pop up. I sort of achieved that by using buttons for the states, and then under "actions", I chose "open a file". Then I set it up to open a file that contained the cities that are options,and set each city with a button.
The result is that it goes from my form to a second window, containing states and then to a third window, containing cities. (Actually, there are multiple "city" windows because there's a list of cities for each state.) But then I'd like for the city that they select to wind up being on my original form. Is there an "action" that I can choose that will make that happen?
Or is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish? Maybe I'm just going about this all wrong(?) Any suggestions would be very much appreciated Thank you!

Yes, there is a much better way. I'd recommend using a combo box for the list of states. When the user selects a state, the list of associated cities would populate a second combo box, allowing the user to select a city. This type of functionality relies on JavaScript. If you are unfamiliar with with JavaScript in Acrobat, I'd suggest starting with the following article: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle/
Ignore anything to do with LiveCycle Designer. If you get stuck, post again.

How do I get Itunes to properly import a cd without making a different album for each song..

I try to import my cds, and everytime it features another artist it creates a new album for that song... how do I get it to imort the album and show as just the album name...

Hi
All my tracks are MP3.
In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column. If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

Single Go button for all prompts - without making changes to system files

Hi All,
I went thru several threads and blogs which suggest to do certain changes in the .js files to get a single go button for a group of prompts (saved as individual objects)
Is it possible to have single go button in 11g for prompts which are saved separately without changing the system files?
Many Thanks,
RS

Hi,
I dont think so. But in 11.1.6 version there is a feasibility to avoid apply and reset buttons. so that will make to appear all the prompts together.
And you can try to built a common prompt filter with all the columns, but it will be bad and cause lots of problems.
Hope this helped/ answered.

Lyrics not appearing - but just for one song

I've got the lyrics to most of my songs on iTunes, and they work fine.
Last week, like millions of my music-loving brethren, I downloaded the new Radiohead album. I added lyrics to each of the songs in iTunes, using lyrics from a fan site, and all of them transferred over well to the iPod - except one.
One song has a blank page, save for the song title (it's "Faust Arp", if you're curious), where the lyrics should be - i.e., when you press the centre button three times. All the other songs' lyrics are showing up on the iPod, as well as songs from other albums. Thing is, there are lyrics in the song on iTunes - you can see them right there when you right-click to get Info and press the Lyrics tab. They're just not making it to the iPod for this one song.
What's the deal? I've tried erasing them then syncing then pasting them back and syncing, but no dice.

> Thanks for your reply. Yes I have tried re-publishing
> to both ITS instances.
>
How do you handle the ITS sign-on? I mean do you get your users to sign-on using their own user IDs when the service is called or do you use a "dummy ITS" user that is hard-coded in the service parameter, which will then automatically sign each user on with this specific set of authorisations. What I am trying to say here is that the service parameters might be inconsistent on both ITS instances and it would be worthwhile getting someone to check if service files on both systems (on file level) are the same. Again, a re-publish could sort this out.
Kind regards,
Michael

How do I stop i-tunes from changing the genres for my songs without my consent?

Lately, itunes has been taking the genres I've set for my songs and changing them without my consent or say so. I change them back to what I want, i-tunes changes it back to what it wants, etc..
For example, I might list something as "Rock", but i-tunes decides it's "Pop" or "Alternate Rock" and edits my file's meta-data unilaterally. I might decide I want a category called "Christmas Music", but i-tunes decides the genre is "Holiday Music". I even have a few songs labeled "Urban", and i-tunes tries to change them to "Hip-Hop/Rap" or "Rap/Hip-hope". I took a lot of time with my large music collection to get this stuff exactly the way I wanted it- simplified. I-tunes is screwing it up.
This is *my* music. I even bought it all legally on a limited budget. I get to decide what genre I want it listed as.
Is there a setting or something I can change to get i-tunes to stop messing my music genre data? Or do I have to find a new music player?
I've got a long suffering ipod classic I was thinking of replacing at some point, but I may leave the i-tunes ecosystem entirely over this instead. To make things worse, my ipod with it's troubled syncing and broken buttons now has to deal with constantly recopying files with new genres every time I sync and itunes or I have changed something in our constant man versus machine battle- just try have hundreds of songs recopied each time without an error on something that barely can handle normal syncing after reconnecting 10 times or so every sync because it doesn't take the first 9 times.
I don't want to fight my music player. I just want the thing to work and do what I instruct it to do. Either that or I'm going to have to rename it "HAL" and start calling myself "Dave" ala 2001: A Space Odessy. Because this thing seems to be turning on me.

Ugh. I thought I was exagerating when I said song name changes were next. Apparently, I was literally correct. I haven't seen it yet personally, but Tooltomus says he has.
I thought the genre changes had stopped, only to see that they'd started up again a few minutes ago. This is getting really old really fast.
Again, why does Apple seem to think it can do whatever it wants to our bought and paid for music without our permission? This isn't about interface changes or whatever, which are all well within their rights, but to actually alter our files themselves without asking or even notifying us. They've got to be kidding... Isn't there some way to turn this off?
Why are they doing this? What's the point of it? Is it intentional or some kind of bug? Is anyone from Apple going to bother to even tell us?
I feel like I had some great music software and a great music player. I've used them for hours every day for years. I really love smart playlists and a whole bunch of features. It's very upsetting to see them go in this direction.
You know, record companies and music sellers have been pushing the idea of legally purchased files for years, saying it's just the same as CDs or whatever. And I've been dutifully buying my files this whole time from various legal sellers instead of pirating them. And now they're basically doing the equivalent of breaking into my home and messing around with my CDs- scrobbling all over the covers and album booklets, etc..
Why even have a genre setting the user can change if the program is going to keep overriding it and change genres? Why even have a song setting the user can change if the program is going to keep overriding it and change song titles? What happens when the program gets something wrong?
Anyone know how to turn this off? Would going back to itunes 10 help or is this coming from the server to every version of itunes? Is there other music player software that will leave my music alone that will preserve my playcounts, ratings, playlists, last played, and so on and so forth, and support syncing to my ipod? Can I somehow cut itunes off from contacting apple's servers to look up information and make these changes?

I cannot find information to help me change the orientation of a video filmed in portrait format but only able to be played back lying on its side (landscape) instead of upright. All the rotation buttons for iPhoto are not 'engaged' when it is in video .

Thanks OT,
I tried the Export function but it would not allow me to choose the option of exporting to iMovie. I think you are right about needing Quicktime Pro. I opened iMovie and imported the clip from iPhoto and with some searching found the 'cropping, rotation' mechanism. So I now have a copy in the correct orientation. I plan to import/export it back to iPhoto because I want to have a copy on my iPhone to show people and I wanted to have it available as part of a slideshow I am making in iPhoto of my recent overseas trip. It is a pain that there is no simple orientating tool for the movie clips downloaded to iPhoto with the photos from the one camera.
