Making a button with a picture
I'm trying to make a button with a picture I made in photoshop.. but the problem is that the background is transparent, I just want the main part to be clickable.
Here is an example.. I just want the purple part to be clickable. The box around that is the actually whole image. So how can I fix this?
if you are using a simple button with up / over / down / hit frames do the following.
add a new layer to your button's timeline above the bitmap
in the up keyframe of this new layer draw a circle the same size and position of the purple starburst.
select the circle and cut the the circle (cmd-x or cntrl-x)
delete the layer you just made
make sure there is a keyframe in the hit frame of the remaining layer (f6)
if the bitmap is in the hit frame, delete it.
with the hit frame selected do a paste in place: cmd-shift-v or cntrl-shift-v
now you should have only the vector circle shape in the hit frame of the button.
now your button will only respond to mouse events when you rollover where the circle is.
the reason i had you add a new layer is because when you draw vectors in the same layer / frame as a bitmap, the vectors go behind the bitmaps and are hard to select, see, or modify.

Connecting a movie with a picture/button
Hello, I bought a flash web template and now I am trying to
modify it. I need to know how to import a video clip into flash and
then connect it with a picture/button using actionscript in CS3. I
want to keep everything within the same flash project so being able
to do that would be ideal. Thanks for any help you can give
me.There are multiple ways in which HTML controls can communicate with flash. I think one such way by using SetVariable() can address your issue is explained at: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/external_interface_print.html

How do you make the screen black after dialing a number and talking? Every time I place a call or someone calls me I keep hitting the mute button or speaker or facetime button with my cheek....this is soooo irritating!! please help!
It sounds like the proximity sensor is acting up. To test it, make a phone call and use your hand to cover the top 1"-1 1/2" of the screen (where the sensor is located). The screen should blank out, if it doesn't, you need to make an appointment with an Apple Store or call Apple to get it repaired/replaced. If it does blank, check how you are holding the phone to your ear, you may not be holding it in a way that the sensor can tell it's at your ear.

Need help with keeping pictures in focus after transitions
I am fairly new to Final Cut X.
Right now I am making a DVD of just photos with music added.
I am using transitions between photos as well.
I'm having one problem:
When I play the movie in FC, during the transition from photo to photo my pictures look great and are clear, but when the transition is not happening and the picture is just showing it goes a bit blurry.
Can someone help me out with a solution for this?

Making a button in a scrollbar
Hello,
First things first. I know my english is not the best but I will try to explain my problem as clearly as I can.
I have a problem with my Indesign document I am using indesign5.5.
I am making an ipad version of a newspaper. And I made a scroll section for the menu. So if you wanna see the news you can scroll through the subjects. But if you see a subject you want to read. you have to click on the picture of te articale you want to see. I can make buttons and I can make a scroll section but I can't make a button in the scroll section. I've tried a lot of ways but it just won't work or it won't scroll with the pictures. I hope you guys can help me to find a solution.
thank youYour English is fine, but you’re in the wrong forum. Please visit the Digital Publishing Suite forum.
Before posting however please have a look at the FAQs.
Adding interactivity to scrolling content is a newly added feature that requires the use of the Pan and Zoom overlay instead of scrollable content layers.

I am busy making a website with iweb. Can I only make a page with a slideshow containing jpg's? I would like to make a (pages) document with pictures and have this as a slideshow. Is that possible?
If you use Keynote rather than Pages you can export as HTML to get a slideshow...

Or you can use a JQuery slider that will display text, images, movies etc...

Is it possible to make a button with multiple paths?
Hello and good day Everyone
I want to make a flash game with a map leading to various places for example school or beach like this http://www.yotreat.com/sites/default/files/190-160_1286.jpg
if the player goes to the school she will find the teacher, and if the player goes to the beach se will find the coach.
How can I make the player (for example) talks to the teacher at school, returns to the main map, and goes to the beach to talk with the coach, yet if she goes to the school again, the dialogue with the teacher won't be the same with first dialogue?
=>>> Is it possible to make a button with different paths to go? As if you've watched frame A, then you push the same button again it will take you to frame B??? <<<=
Sorry for my confusing description... I hope you get the idea >,<
Im so desperate... I've been searching for articles about this since yesterday and I still can't find one to solve this problem of mine.
Making games is my dream... I've made some very simple games, but I want to try a new level of difficulty
Please help me? (>o<Thank you for the advice, sir Ned Murphy!
Yes, I try to use variables now, but face another problem with it... would you please tell me what's wrong with my script?
Here, in label: "School" I type:
on (release) {
if (point = 0){
gotoAndStop("dialogue1");
else if (point = 10){
gotoAndStop("dialogue2");
else {
gotoAndStop("dialogue3");
(it's only a testing, so I only use these 4 labels)
and in label: "dialogue1", "dialogue2",and "dialogue3" I type:
on (release) {point += 10;}
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("school");
The result when I test movie:
1. At "School" (shows point=0), I click the button,
2. then occurs "dialogue2" (shows point=10), I click the button,
3. then back at "school" (shows point=20), I click the button,
4. then occurs "dialogue2" again (shows point=10)
even the first shot is wrong
point=0 should be the entrance to "dialogue1", but all I can get is "dialogue2"...
Please tell me what's wrong with my script, sir Ned Murphy,
Thank you very much

Animating a button with actionScript
I'm fairly stumped on this one - but probably quite simple to fix.
I need to animate the scale of a button with actionScript 2.0. I've inherited a project that was done with actionScript 2.0 and have decided to stay with this generation rather than rewrite the whole project. Anyway - I've created a sound object, it plays audio from the library and 3 seconds after it starts playing, I want to animate the "next" button and make it pulse to attract the users attention.
Doing this by putting the button in a movie clip is not working as I am losing it's button states and besides it's probably far more tighter to program it.
When the user rolls over the button it stops pulsing but still retains it's up, over and down states.
Any easy answer?Thanks for your help Ned.
I ended up making an advanced button with movie clips and using programming for all the states.
Movies are so much easier to control than buttons.
But you have raised something I had overlooked...setTimeout( )
I was using setInterval( ) and then doing clearInterval( ) within the function so it would only loop once, which of course was problematic if the user beat the 'clearInterval' code by clicking on the button too early.
Actually used setInterval( ) to delay all sound on the project - now going to re-program all that.
Thanks -
PSD Rollover Button with image in front stops button from changing state
I have a wide PSD button that changes state when rolled over. I would like to place a PNG image with transparency in some areas over the top of it so that the rollover button shows through the transparent areas of the PNG.
How can you get it to do the rollover effect when the user mouses over the bit of the button that the image is in front of? Is ther a way of making the PNG 'invisible' to the mouse?
I know I could redesign the button so that it includes the image but I'm trying to keep file sizes and load times to a minimum, I use this button a lot on my website with a different on each, and having that number of individual buttons would result in a bloated, slow-loading website.Hi Abhishek
Thanks for your reply. I was able to achieve the effect I wanted by having the PNG and the PSD Button with the same link and then grouping them. This means I can mouse over the PNG and still get the PSD rollover effect, which is perfect.
However I also have another similar problem. I have some different PSD Rollover Buttons which have some text in front of them (basically it's the button label). On some of these buttons when you roll over the text it prevents the rollover state of the button, and on other buttons the rollover effect occurs as it should, and there doesn't appear to be any consistency about which does what. Grouping or ungrouping doesn't appear to make a difference. Can you help? -

HT1414 I Pad is frozen with a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of itunes
IPAD is frozen with a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of itunes? Can anyone suggest a fix
You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost. -
Can we perform two actions with one button with two clicks one after other?
Sir,
can we perform two actions with one button with two clicks one after other?
I want that when I click an Add Button first time it add data to the database and when I click again this button it clear the form data to empty fields.
Regards
TanvirIn code it should be easy.
The following code adds a button called butman with a text "ADD".
It then registers a listener that will be called if the button is clicked.
This listener then calls the runAddData method if you clicked on butman while it contained the "ADD" text and it will call the runClearData method otherwise.
Therefore it will swap the button's functionality between ADD and CLEAR on every click.
final Button butman = new Button("ADD");
butman.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent t) {
if (butman.getText().equals("ADD")) {
butman.setText("CLEAR");
runAddData();
} else {
butman.setText("ADD");
runClearData();
} // END IF-THEN
}});I hope this is what you wanted.
Some extra food for thought.
You might want to run the ADD and CLEAR methods in their own threads so that it can run in the back ground, without slowing down your user interface.
I also like to rather reuse one button for multiple functionality in stead of making an application with hundreds of nodes only used rarely with masses of code to show and hide them if needed. -
Making a button rollover change a movie clip's frame
Hi again everyone,
I knew how to do this in AS2 but now I am having problems
with making a button on the stage goto a frame in a movie clip on
the stage.
I've attached a sample of my code below, hopefully you'll see
the error and be able to point it out to me?
I have a movie clip on the stage that has different
information in different frames. I want to make it so that when
someone rolls over the button, the movie clip fades in and goes to
the correct frame to display the information.
With this setup the way it is below, I keep getting "Warning:
3590: void used where a Boolean value was expected. The expression
will be type coerced to Boolean.
I know where the problem is happening, "function
XXX(event:MouseEvent):void {navigateToURL(XXXweb)}"
How can I write this differently and eliminate this problem?
Thanks,
JeremiahI'll give that a shot, thanks!
A follow up question to that one, is there a way to make it
so that I can have one rolled over function applied to several
buttons / frames in the movie clip? This movie clip has 50+ frames
in it and if I could reduce my coding, it would make life a lot
easier.
Thanks,
Jeremiah
