Making menu buttons appear

Hi, I'm finding in DVD Studio Pro that as soon as I've gone past my self designed warning screen on my DVD Studio project, the menu background with buttons simply appears straight away. I would like the buttons to appear or fade in a bit more smoothly a few seconds after the background has appeared to look a bit more professional. Anyone know a way to do this?

Well... Eric has covered it...
What I do is create the menu backgrounds in FCP and make sure I fade in all of the button text and imagery at the right point, then I make a still and hold it for a minute or so. This footage becomes the background for the menu.
I take a still from the 'still' section of the menu footage into photoshop. I add a layer, and add highlight information and export that as an overlay for the menu.
In DVDSP, import both and set the footage for the background... then use the loop point setting and move the marker to the position just after the menu fades in and becomes still. Add the highlight file, draw the button rectangles and set the colours and navigation just as you would for a normal menu.
Now, when this menu plays the animated sequence will fade in and the buttons will become active at the loop point. After the minute of still menu the whole thing will loop, but will start at the loop point (clue's in the name!)
This should give you the effect you are after...

Making a button appear on a track

I've searched here and in the manual but I'm not sure I'm searching for the right thing. How can I make a button appear within a stream so the user can link back to a menu?
puzzled.....
Thanks

It's done in DVDSP by using 'buttons over video'. Basically, you use the subtitle stream to add the text that you want for the button (or graphic, if you import one as a subtitle).
Once you have set the markers for the start and end point of where the button will appear, click in between them in a spare subtitle stream, type the word you want and then click on the editor window to see it appear. From here on in you can use the window as you would when making buttons on a menu - drag out a button rectangle, set the target and so on.
Make sure that you force the sub to view...
On playback, the button will appear as a part of the subtitle. You need only press the 'enter' key on your remote control to activate it, unless you have created more than one button... in which case you need to use the arrow keys to get to where you want to be before you activate the button.

Cap 5: Making menu buttons active / inactive until content is completed

Hello Captivate experts!
I've run into a snag I know you smart people will be able to help me with.:)
I have created a menu system, linking several large pieces together. Each menu button opens the linked project.
Here's my problem....I need to make the Security Policy Final Checkpoint module unavailable until users have taken all of the content. (something added to the scope of the project AFTER I created this...dang it) Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
Here is an image of my rough draft menu and button properties:

Hi Lilybiri,
Yes, all of the modules are seperate .cptx files that are "linked" via the buttons on the menu. The menu is also a seperate file.:)
All of these modules have an "avatar" voice narrating the entire piece, so having one giant file with over 120+ slides was not working well, so broke them up into seperate modules and built a menu file to navigate between the modules.
Completion of the linked module IS all they have to do. Returning to the menu is considered completing that module, yes.:)
Thanks for your anticipated help, MUCH appreciated!

Making a button appear dim after use

Hi,
I'm trying to work on a jeopardy game, and I pretty much suck
on coding. Anyhow, I was able to disable the button so that when
you go back to the board, the button no longer works, but I'd also
like to dim that button. Is there a way to do this? Or is there a
better solution out there?
Thanks!

Nope, almost, but not quite. I get the dimming effect, but
only when I press on the button. My goal is to have that button
dimmed when I return to that frame.
This is what I'd like to have happen: I have the buttons on
my game board, when I click on a button I go to a specific frame
that houses the question, and on that frame I have a back button to
go back to the game board, and at that point, when you're back to
the game board, I want the button already pressed dim so that the
user knows not to click on it again.
Thanks for your help!

Can you change the color of menu buttons dynamically?

Hello, Newbie Here,
Built my first Xcelsious front end and linked to two personnel databases. Everything works just fine. The outputs on this particular visualization generate completion statistics for 12 divisions and a 13th for combined. Don't know enough about the software yet to know whether I can make the menu buttons appear in red for those that have not accomplished a 100% compliance to the task being tracked? This would make it visually easier for upper management to click directly on the division menu buttons in red, rather than have to click on all of them to see which divisions haven't achieved completion. Also, wouldn't hurt to be able to turn the other menu buttons green for those that have completed. Any ideas are appreciated, really scratching my head at the moment.
Thanx,
Dan

Android 3 and menu button

Hi,
I'm trying to use native menu button on my asus transformer (android 3.2).
With honeycomb devices, Menu button appears only when needed (not like android 2 devices). With Air application, menu button won't appear. I try on tour de flex. Menu button is always here but not used. I try devgirl sample, button doesn't appear. I think it's a Air3 bug (Bug submitted https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-31768).
Can someone help me ?

This was noted and logged for the AIR2.7 SDK but based on below, Adobe cannot replicate although I am not sure they understand the issue. If you use 2.6, it works, anything above that and it is broken.

Why would menu button's active state not work? Regardless if I import PSD button or use menu widget from the widget library.

I am using Adobe Muse CC (up-to-date) and tried to troubleshoot the following: Menu button's active state is not working, both on preview and after publishing. I tried many ways to place menu-designed buttons myself using photoshop and used widgets library (buttons, compositions, menus,etc.). Lastly, in regards to buttons, one of my menu buttons appear clear and crisp (psd button) and all others are blurry (though designed,saved and imported the same way);what could be the problem? Can anyone help?Thanks.

That line is for pop up message?You would typically use a tool tip for that.
The "Accessibility" features are different and I believe you need additional software to take advantage of them:

My menu button is no longer working. I cannot go back to the main menu.

I have a fouth generation nano and the menu button appears to be stuck. Can this be fixed?

It's simply a hardware issue. Go to a local electronics repair store and they should be able to fix it for you just fine.

Setting general there is no siri option and siri even does not appear on holding the menu button. Can someone help me!!!! plzz

Siri is not available for the iPad2, just the New Ipad (3).

Since upgrade to v29, pinned tabs don't appear and sometimes all tabs don't appear and open menu button does not work

My pinned tabs don't appear at any start and at some starts, I don't see the bookmarks toolbar (I can restore that by removing it from view-toolbars and then reselecting it). when this happens, FF also does not show any tabs and the Menu button does not work.
I have tried various suggestions found on here like deleting the sessionstore.js and re-installing FF, also tried disabling hardware acceleration in safe mode and still have the same problems.
Am reluctant to reset FF in case I lose my favourites and Bookmarks, is there anything else I can try?

Firefox may not have closed properly.<br />
You can try to update to Firefox 29.0.1 to be released tomorrow (Friday) to see if that helps with this issue.

Space appearing between menu buttons

http://www.nicbtest.co.uk
Hi,
I have a table with menu buttons. There's no padding or anything in it, but a couple of the buttons appear to have a space between them though the rest are fine. When I look at it in Dreamweaver it looks fine, but when I preview or publish it, the space appears (between classes & personal training). Can anyone tell me why?
(the photos are just there to show my friend how it could look - they're just copied from the internet & will be deleted)
Many thanks
Nicola

The classes button image is 42 pixels high. It has been scaled down a pixel in the code to 41 pixels.
Try changing:
<img src="buttons/ClassesOff.gif" alt="Classes" name="ClassesOff" width="166" height="41"
to
<img src="buttons/ClassesOff.gif" alt="Classes" name="ClassesOff" width="166" height="42"

The menu button on my tablet does not appear when using firefox Aurora

I have a tablet Android v4.0.3 and I installed Firefox 15c - Aurora via the downloaded apk file
1. There is no entry in my list of application
2. Firefox does not invoke the menu "soft button" on my tablet. I see the backup, HomePage and ActiveApplications, but not the menu button
I am using an 8" tablet, ARM v7 variation, ARM cortex A10 the Momo
I downloaded the full-screen add-on, but I do not have a nenu button
I see all ther required toolbar icons in Aurora, so I do not have an issue there.

The version of Aurora is 15.0b2 and not 15c as stated above. I downloaded Aurora on 2012-07-10, the day that I opened this problem qustion

Making Buttons appear depending on the results of a SQL Query

I need some help here I am still working on a time clock program
I need help with the clock in and out buttons i need to know how to make
the clock in button appear only if they are not clocked in. But I can not seem
to make the sql statement or maybe my code is wrong, it needs to just get a
count to see if they have any entries that have 0 in the hoursworked column
and if so then it needs to just display the clock out if not then just the clockin button needs to be displayed this was my orignal code that was not working
<%
    String statement = "select count(*) as cnt from TimeSheet Where idnum = " + session.getAttribute("IDNUM");
    stmt.execute(statement);
    rs = stmt.getResultSet();
    rs.next();
    int num = rs.getInt("cnt");
    if (num == 0 || num == null)
    {%>
        <tr>
            <td><input type="submit" value="Clock In" name="button"></td>
        </tr>
    <%}
    else
    {%>
        <tr>
            <td><input type="submit" value="Clock Out" name="button"></td>
        </tr>
     <% } %>but it did not work it would only display the clock out button so i need to figure this out so that the user can not clock into the program twice to get double hours and so forth.

Does it even compile ?Yes, it wouldnt, not even in 1.5
it needs to just get a
count to see if they have any entries that have 0 in the hoursworked column
and if so then it needs to just display the clock out if not then just the clockin button needs to be displayed in which case,
1. your sql is not correct.
2. session.getAttribute("attrName") returns an Object - is the IDNUM column of type number
(going by the fact that you have not enclosed the value in single quotes '')
Assuming that you have a column called 'hoursworked' in table 'timesheet' and
IDNUM is of type NUMBER
<%
     Integer idNum = (Integer)session.getAttribute("IDNUM");
     //from the OP :: get a count to see if they have any entries that have 0 in the hoursworked column
     String statement = "select count(*) as CNT from TIMESHEET where IDNUM = " + idNum + " and HOURSWORKED = 0 ";
     //remaining stuff :: Look out for the error pointed out by Pgeuens
     cheers,
ram.

Firefox opens but nothing shows/load in the window, not even menu buttons

I open Firefox & a window opens but nothing loads or shows up, not even menu buttons. Occasionally when you blindly click around some menus will open but options beyond that don't produce anything.
I have (not necessarily in this order):
Uninstalled Firefox, deleted all remaining folders, then reinstalled (twice).... didn't help.
Reverted PC back to before Firefox updated... didn't work.
Uninstalled, Debugged my PC, reinstalled.... didn't work.
Turned off firewalls & switched settings to make sure nothing was blocking it from working.... didn't work.
At this point, after surfing Mozilla support site & not finding anyone else having this exact issue I'm not sure what else to do. I love Firefox & want to keep using it (I HATE using Internet Explorer) but the only other solution I can think of is use Google Chrome or IE.
I have Windows 7, use McAfee, & SpyHunter. My laptop is less than 5 y.o. & I keep thing updated reg. so I don't think anything should be out of date or incompatible.
Thanks!

Hello,
Currently in version 33, Firefox has implemented a new, faster way of loading webpages. This new feature is called OMTC. However, there are still some tweaks Mozilla developers are making to this.
There is a known issue that Mozilla works on very hard to fix: if you are experiencing black webpages on some sites, here's what you can do to avoid the problem in the meantime:
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
To disable Hardware Acceleration
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options''.
* In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
* In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
Now, exit Firefox, wait a few seconds, and then start it normally.
Please let us know if this solves the problem. Engineering is also gathering more information about the issue would request that you fill out [http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1851506/1c87a6cf309a this survey]
I should also mention that other users with this problem had an embedded intel hd graphics card with an old driver present. Until Mozilla comes up with a fix, if you want Hardware Acceleration in Firefox, you can try to update your driver through the appropriate link below to see if that helps:
