Menu Navigational Buttons

I have created a DVD in Premier Essentials 12. The navigational forward and back menu buttons work in the completed movie's "Disc Preview" mode on the computer, but these navigational buttons showed up but did not work on the burned DVD. Why not and how can I fix?

I have two main menus with a Play All, Scene, and two other "personalized" (January and February on the first main menu and March and April on the second main menu) buttons. Because I needed a total of four personalized "month" buttons, the main menu automatically carried over to a second main menu page. I have always set up my family videos so that you can play all, navigate to a particular individual movie (scene), or view by the month (multiple "scenes" in each month). This is how I have done all my previous DVDs when I used the Roxio program. My family like this setup. Actually Roxio allowed me to set up my main menus with the months, and when you clicked on the month, you were navigated to a "submenu" that included all the individual movies for that particular month. Premiere Elements menus do not include this navigation format. So, I have a Main Menu 1 page 1, Main Menu page 2, and (you are correct) separate scene menus Scene Menu page 1, Scene Menu page 2, and Scene Menu page 3 (which are not organized by month but just chronologically...five to a menu). The problem is that the forward and back buttons to get both back and forth from Main Menu pages 1 and 2 and all the Scene Menus are not being recognized by either of the two DVD players I tried but are working fine when I put the DVD in the computer and work in "Preview Disc." None of the forward/back buttons work on any of the menus. After hours of playing around, I did find that the menus do go forward and back in the DVD player when I use the down, left, and right arrows on the remote to navigate totally off the bottom of the television screen where there is just black.
Hope this helps. I will work on trying to burn a DVD with just the preset menus and see if the forward/back buttons work then. My question is in order to do this, do I have to make an actual movie using my clips in order to get the menus to work? I don't want mess around with anything on my current "family DVD" (except get the forward/back buttons to work!).

I do not recall if I asked "When you are not seeing the previous and next buttons, how many menu pages do you have?"
If you have 12 scene markers and the Memories/Family Memories theme (5 scene buttons per scene page), do you have
Main Menu
Scene Menu page 1
Scene Menu page 2
Scene Menu page 3
Are previous and forward buttons not seen any where?

Menu navigation buttons do not appear when viewing page on iPhone

My webpage shows the menu navigation buttons on all browsers and platforms but when viewing on an iPhone they are not there. Hence you cannot view other pages. Is this a restriction of pages created in iWeb or am I doing something wrong?
I have trawled through the discussion forum and tried tips such as the height of the menu bar from the top on the page, pixel width and making sure the menu box is at the front or brought forward.
my website is www.sussexgolfcaptains.org

This may or may not be of interest, but some site builders (such as weebly.com) are mobile friendly — click here:

Also, unlike sites made with iWeb, Weebly sites respond to desktop Safari's +View > Zoom In+ command — this is helpful for many who don't have perfect eyesight for reading small text. (iWeb's default font sizes are relatively small.)

How do I create more than one navigation button in Adobe Fireworks CS6?

Hi guys,
Apologies if this comes across as very stupid question. I am a complete beginner with Adobe Fireworks and I'm in the process of creating my first website and I have got to the stage where I want to create navigation buttons and the book I have recommends using Adobe Fireworks so I have downloaded. My problem I have encountered is after I have created my first two state button what is the next step to create another two state button which has the identical size and colour of the previous two state button?
Here is a brief rundown of the steps I have done to do the first two state button:
1) Edit-Insert-New Button
2) Chose the rectangle and then specified the width and height of the button and chose my stroke and fill colour
3) Centred the button and used the text tool to put the button as a 'Home' button for my website. I then went on Window and Align in order to centre the text on the button
4) I went on Select-Select All and then went on Windows-States to open the states panel. I right clicked on state 1 which is Up and clicked on copy to states. I then selected the next state radio button and clicked OK.
5) I selected State 2 and slightly modified it by changing the colour of the text.
6) I then clicked the back button to return to the main window.
After this what step should I take to create my another button which has the same size, colour and text style as I have created for the first button? I tried just repeating these steps again but when I do step 1 it creates a new fireworks document which means I have to create the buttons size, colour, text style from scratch.
Your help would be greatly appreciated guys and once again I do apologise if this comes across as a silly question.
PS Please could you let me know if the steps I have taken to create the 1st two state button are correct

Initially you need to configure via the provider's own web based control panel multiple e-mail accounts. If they don't have one, work it out with their customer support to have three distinct mail accounts. Then you can setup multiple logins by adding new accounts to mail. Since mail checks all accounts per Mac OS X user account simultaneously, it probably is best to use different usernames on the same internet provider. If you don't want mail to show all the information from all three mail accounts simultaneously, configure Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts to have multiple users on your computer, and configure each of the internet service provider accounts for each separaet user on Mac OS X.

Adding Navigation Buttons for Users of PDF Documents

The default for Acrobat Reader (and even the Pro version)
seems to leave the Forward and Back navigation buttons OFF the
Acrobat Reader tool bar. You have to deliberately go into the Tools
- Customize Tools menu and turn on these two buttons in order for
them to appear in the tool bar. This creates problems for readers
of your PDF documents if the readers of your documents aren't very
computer savy. If you have links in your PDF document so readers
can navigate around, not having the Forward and Back buttons up on
the tool bar as a default makes these links almost useless. The
reader has to know how to turn these two buttons on and some
readers may not have a clue how to do that.
My question: Is there a way to put 2 navigation buttons on a
reader's toolbar AUTOMATICALLY when they open your document--ie,
something embedded in the PDF doc that automatically turns these
buttons on for the reader so they don't have to do it
themselves?

Thank you for your post. These forums are specific to the
Acrobat.com website and its set of hosted services, and do not

Help with Re-Linking Navigation Buttons

I have Adobe Flash CS3 Pro.
I have a navigation header flash file that came with my website template and I am having difficulty making sense of the actionscript. It has a logo section with effects, 5 main nav buttons that move, and two extra link buttons above the navigation bar. Let’s focus on just the Navigation buttons for now. Here is what I have gathered. I have multiple text buttons on one movieclip, and I have successfully edited the text for each button. If I look at the actionscript in the top layer of this movieclip I see:
“gotoAndStop(parent._parent.num);”
I also have a separate movieclip symbol (with effects) with 5 buttons layers listed in the actionscript with the following actionscript tied to each button from numbers 1 through 5:
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=1;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=2;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=3;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=4;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=5;
On the top layer of these 5 buttons I have the following actionscript:
stop();
this["item"+_root.button].gotoAndPlay("s1");
_root.link = _root.button;
I also have a separate button symbol with the following actionscript:
on (rollOver) {
            if (_root.link<>1) {
                        menu.item1.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
            if (_root.link<>1) {
                        menu.item1.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
            if (_root.link<>1) {
                        _root.menu["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
                        _root.link = 1;
                        getURL("index.html");
Now my website template came with 5 html pages that my flash navigation buttons correspond to: (index.html, index-1.html, index-2.html, index-3.html, index-4.html, index-5.html). My problem is that I have created new pages (index.html, about.html, featured.html, projects.html, contact.html). I would like each of the 5 buttons to correspond to these pages, not the existing standard “index-n.html” pages.
Also, this is probably not relevant, but each html page has something to this affect so I can see how they correspond to each button.
<script type="text/javascript">
          var fo = new FlashObject("flash/menu_vf8.swf?button=2", "head", "100%", "144", "7", "");
          fo.addParam("quality", "high");
                    fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
                        fo.addParam("scale", "noscale");
          fo.write("head");
        </script>
I guess my real question is: What actionscript do I need to update or remove for the nav button LINKS to work with my new html pages rather than the standard 5 index-n.html pages that it automatically wants to link to?
When I try and add a “getURL” command to each of the 5 buttons and test preview the movie, the links work, but it messes up the effects of the movieclip. In other words, the buttons don’t move, they are motionless, however the links work. If I added this command to each button in some way, what actionscript would I need to remove so there weren’t any complications? I need some expert help here for it would be much appreciated. I am a novice with Flash script and its killing me that I can’t figure it out. I asked for help from the template support and all they came back with was the following message and it wasn’t helpful:
You need to duplicate each button you are editing - it is very important.
2) Update the scripting to look similar way:
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
_parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = num;
if (num == 1) {
getURL("index.html");
} else {
getURL("index-"+Number(num-1)+".html");
Update it to:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com");
Also, I read through the following discussion, which was helpful to a degree, but it still didn’t answer my questions about getting the links to work.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3614092#3614092

First of all, thank you for showing interest and helping out in my dilemma here. I wish I understood your meaning behind “on” because with my luck there is probably some hidden way of placing script on an object that I don’t understand or haven’t discovered yet.
This is what I know:
I have multiple text buttons on one movieclip entitled “textbutton1” (see previous picture), and I have successfully edited the text for each button and created two extra frames/buttons to make 7 total. If I look at the actionscript in the top layer of this movieclip I see:
“gotoAndStop(parent._parent.num);”
But there is no action on each individual frame (all 7 of them) on that layer.
Like I mentioned before I have a separate movieclip symbol (entitled “menu effect”) with 7 button movieclip layers listed in the actionscript with the following actionscript on each layer.
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=1;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=2;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=3;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=4;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=5;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=6;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=7;
On the top layer (layer 4 frame 25) of these 5 buttons I have the following actionscript:
stop();
this["item"+_root.button].gotoAndPlay("s1");
_root.link = _root.button;
I can upload another particular image of the movieclip/actionscript if it would be helpful. Let me know.

Help please with my navigation buttons

Can anyone please help me with my vertical navigation buttons. I'm trying to set up my nav bar so that all the buttons have a background image (button.jpg) behind them at all times and the only thing that changes when touched or the mouse rolls over them is that the colour of the text changes, except when the sub buttons appear, because the name of some of the sub buttons are so long i have created another button image that is longer (button2.jpg), i only want this to appear on sub buttons otherwise the buttons will end up taking most of the pages space. I'm having great difficulties getting the sub buttons to appear with the correct image (button2.jpg) and am getting increasingly frustrated with it, can anyone please help!!!
www.milesfunerals.com/index2.html

index2.html is a broken link for sure. The main index page looks like it's working fine.
A little styling critique if it's okay... Personally I'd have gone with a CSS or Javascript multi-level menu across the bottom of the header. Saves visitors from having to scroll all the way down the page to see every menu item. And I'd rethink the color of the "Miles & Daughters" in the header image. It kinda gets lost in the roses.
If you have a link to the "broken" page please put it up so we can analyze it.

How to hide navigation button in xml config file

I have a photo gallery with a navigation button that allows for additional photo categories that I don't want to appear. Unfortunately, I can't open the .fla as it appears to have been created with a newer version of Flash. The code in the config.xml file is basically:
<navigation>
<menu 1> <content>
</menu 1>
<menu 2> <content>
</menu 2>
etc.
</navigation>
Is there a tag I can add to make the navigation link disappear?

Deleting the navigation tags will make the xml malformed. You need to keep those, but the parts in between can go.

How to get the page navigation buttons back at the bottom of the page?

After upgrading to Acrobat X I discovered that there is only one option for the page navigation buttons - at the upper left. I'm mystified as to why they put them there. Most users are right-handed. With the buttons at upper left it's awkward to reach up there, across the page, with the mouse cursor for every page turn (yeah, I know you can use the PgUp/PgDnkeyboard keys, but that requires taking your hand off the mouse every page turn).
What I really want is to be able to put a copy of these buttons back down at the bottom center of the page, which was an option in previous versions. Is there some way to get those back at the bottom?

Hi terpenoid,
Have you tried Read Mode yet ( under the View menu)? It displays a nivagation bar at the bottom of the PDF with next/previous page, zoom in/out, etc.
Hope this helps,

How can I copy and edit navigation buttons and anchors to remain consistent?

I have inherited a web site and I'm just getting started. I need to add navigation buttons that look like the ones already used on severalpages on my site. How do I reproduce these navigation buttons? I have attached one as an example. Thanks for helping such a rookie.

Sue,
Some very friendly advice here. Stop what you're doing. Put down the mouse. Walk into the boss's office or phone the client and tell them their current website is a flaming disaster. It uses frames which makes the site overly complicated and difficult for site visitors to use. To add further insult, the site is constructed so poorly as to be un-navigable. I can't even see the lower menu in Firefox 3.0.10 on XP. Seriously, this needs to be rebuilt ASAP without frames and with a navigation system that doesn't suck. In the long-run, a good CSS menu would be much simpler for you (and the next poor soul who inherits this site) to work with.

Navigation Buttons

I downloaded a Flash template and I was able to edit the html
files. But I am having difficulty linking the Flash navigation
buttons to the other pages. For example, to index-2.html,
index-3.html, etc. I went into Actions and typed this in the getURL
line, but it does not work.
Please help.

Did you remember to set the button navigation? You can do this manually for each button by using the property inspector, or you can use the settings drop down list in the menu editor and select 'assign now' for the buttons.
As for the first button - DVDSP considers that the first button you drew out will be the default button. If you then go and move it, change it to be the third in the list or whatever, DVDSP still points to this button... UNLESS you go into the property inspector for the menu (click on the menu background... not in a button or drop zone, or click on the menu icon in the disc layout window) and set the default button to be something else. Whatever has happened, go in and set the default button for the menu to be the first one in your list - or the one that you want it to be.

Tabstrip control Tab line navigation button display issue

I have a tabstrip that has more tabs than can be displayed at the top of the tabstrip control. When this happens a navigation button appears on the far right of the tab line( the line that contains all the tabs). This has been working fine for several years. Recently I needed to increase the width of the tabstrip control so that it was 160 character wide. Now when the tabstrip displays, the tab line stops displaying at around 130 characters so the navigation button no longer shows. As it turns out, the button is still there and functions as normal, except that it cannot be seen even though there are still too many tabs to all be displayed.
This appears to me to be a bug in the tabstrip control, but before I start complaining to SAP I thought I would ask here to see if anyone else might know of a solution to this problem.
Thanks for looking.

Hi,
cresate a managed bean in viewScope within the parent page and pass it as an argument to the child task flow. The managed bean contains/exposes a method to hide the menu items you don't want to show (or just disable them). The child task flow then can call the managed bean (from its input parameter reference) and invoke the method (e.g. in a method call activity as the default activity of the task flow).

Navigation buttons not showing up on Mail screen. Any suggestions?

This issue started two days ago before which it was working normally.
Basically, now when I click on the mail icon on the main menu, it opens up the mail screen but the navigation buttons on the top (allowing me to go to the parent folder, go to previous/next message etc.) do not show up any more.
The top of the screen now is the To: field. I have tried to scroll up past it but its just a dark grey area.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks

Help: Buggy (broken) Blu-ray menu navigation

This is really frustrating. I have an Encore 2.0 project, previously used to build an SD DVD, using AVI/AC3 output from Premiere (built from what had been HDV video). REALLY basic menu buttons (no animation, or anything like that). They simply have standard highlights (which show as an arrow next to the button). In fact, those buttons weren't anything fancy that I built, they were simply standard buttons supplied in a previous Encore package. They worked fine in Encore 2.0 when the project was used to burn an SD DVD.
I've been sitting on the Premiere and Encore projects for several years, waiting for the HD support, so when I upgraded to CS3, I transcoded some a set of MV4/AC3 files in Premiere, and re-opened my original Encore project with the CS3 version; and then simply replaced the original AVI/AC3 files with new MV4/AC3. I then flipped the Encore project settings to burn a BR disk. I had to re-point the menu links (to the chapters in the new video file), but made NO changes to the content of the menus (i.e. all of the menu components are exactly what they were before). Within Encore, I previewed the Menu functionality and they work perfectly (i.e. the pseudo-remote moves the arrow/highlight between the buttons, and I can jump between my two menu pages, as well as jumping into my chapters). Everything LOOKED great.
So then I burned a disk (first one, on my new BR burner!). It burned great. I popped it in my Panny, and when the first menu popped up, I immediately clicked Enter (as my default button was to "Play"). That worked fine (so the button is "functional"), and my movie played (it was great to finally see my HDV footage in its full resolution). But then I jumped back to the menu to test out the rest of the menu capability. That's when the disappointment set in. The problem is that the menu navigation is all non-functional. I am unable to move between the buttons on my opening menu (and hence, can't even get to my submenu). It's just like the remote isn't working. And it's not like the buttons are "really" moving, but just not being highlighted properly, as I've played with the remote to test that possibility (based upon having seen some posts along those lines). It's simply that the navigation is "dead". It's dead when the disk is first loaded, and dead if you jump back to the menu after playing the movie. Of course, all "other" DVD and (commercial) BR disks work just fine.
So... the obvious question that I have is whether anybody else has seen any such behavior, or whether I'm the only unlucky SOB to suffer this problem? This is the sort of "buggy crap" (in Encore and/or Premiere) that has driven me crazy over the years (thru numerous version). This is absolutely one of the simplest projects (all of "seven!" resources listed on the Resource tab). How in the world have they managed to muck up the navigation in the menus, on something this simple? I'm clueless as to what I can even try, that might resolve the problem (especially when the menus work perfectly while being previewed). It simply looks like Encore has some basic bug that results in it mangling the menus when it builds them before the burn process.
Any input/thoughts would obviously be appreciated.
(BTW, everything is fully patched.)

Not yet. Don't really have another player at my disposal. I have a relative with PS3, and hope to test it on that at some point, but I live (and work) out in the boonies, so it'll be a bit before that happens.

Navigation buttons don't work in Chrome

Hi,
I have 6 navigation buttons across the top of my page (Home, About Us, Services, Your Policy, Why Choose Us and Contact Us). Two of the buttons have sub menus (About Us and Your Policy) which appear when I hover. From the home page the sub menus do not appear, if I click another nav button ie Services then the submenus appear when I hover and I can pick a menu item. As long as I do not click the Home button all is well. I click’ ‘Home’ the subs don’t appear again.
This doesn’t happen in IE but in Chrome and Safari.
I am using Dreamweaver 5.5
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Is it a bug or a feature? The center light around the five way navigation button goes on every 5 seconds. Is this normal? Can I stop it?

of course you can ! the feature is called "breathing light"
