Menu Transitions when using scripting

I have a need to have a script run when the user selects "Next Menu" or "Prev. Menu" (to set a value in a GPRM). The script sets a value and then jumps to a button on the next menu.
The problem is that the transition set for the menu does not work correctly. EG A cube transition rotates to black (should see the next menu) and the screen is black for a few seconds and then the menu suddenly pops up. If I set the target to the next menu directly (without using the script to jump to the menu, it works OK.
What gives here???
Thanks

The reason why is that when using a script, the player must go to another domain on the disc, where the script is sitting.
Really no way to get around this in DVDSP. Avoid using scripts and transition unless you can live with black screen.

  • Adding transitions when using side by side effect

    I recently found the side by side effect in iMovie '11 and I love it. The only issue is that when I try to add in transitions between clips, the transitions won't show up. If anyone has any idea on what I can do, please let me know. Thanks

    well, technically, that is true, although you could fake it a bit, if instead of side by side transitions, you used the picture in picture instead, you can specify a few transitions with that from the gear menu-

  • Is there a way to control "push" page transitions when using up/down keys to navigate a PDF?

    I have a multi-page PDF designed with push page transitions. When using the forward/back arrow keys or the interactive buttons I have designed on the page, the push navigation direction changes whether one is moving forward in the PDF or back. However, if I use the mouse scroll button or up/down arrow keys to navigate, the push navigation only animates from the same direction...and therefore makes it look as if the user is only moving "forward" in the book. Is there a way to control this effect more precisely?
    I am creating the document with InDesign CC 2014, adding the page transitions within the file, and exporting to interactive PDF using the setting "Page Transitions: From Document".

    I don't think the iPad has it in it to control another device. Unless there's an app for it to be a remote control, but I'd imagine that it woudl be very brand specific.
    You can certainly experiment with the VGA or HDMI adapters, but I wouldn't put total faith in them unless you had the ability to experiment prior to your presentation. I'd definitely have a backup plan.

  • Photoshop CS5 crashes when using scripts

    I thought this problem was resolved when I installed a Photoshop CS5 patch but now it's back again.
    Why does this F***ing program keep crashing when running scripts?  There ought to be a lemon law for software that doesn't work as advertised.
    I'm not alone...there are hundreds of complaints about Photoshop crashing.  Adobe - are you listening?

    Interesting to note that when a person comes in here with an attitude, using foul language, they don't get much help.  Ray, people likely understand your frustration, but the old "honey/vinegar" adage seems to apply.  Most of us "flies" around here are just users like yourself.  I don't think I'd have replied either but for the word "thanks" at the bottom of your last post.
    Look in your Windows System Event Log for information on the failures.  Post the overview information from those failures here and someone may be able to offer some further guidance.  Especially interesting will be the "faulting module" names.
    Some things to check:
    What 3rd party plug-ins do you have installed?  Do the problems continue if you remove them?
    Have you updated Photoshop to 12.0.3?
    Have you updated your video drivers to the latest released by nVidia?
    Is Windows up to date?  What version of Windows are you running, by the way?
    What are your Edit - Preferences - Performance settings?

  • Add a second chapter menu page when using individual movie clips

    Hello!
    I have imported about 20 short movie clips in iDVD and want them to be displayed in a chapter menu. But if I create a submenu as a chapter menu, I can't find a way to add a second page to this particular chapter menu. Of course I can add a new submenu with chapter menu styles, but then I get an ugly folder button (i'm using the white reflection style) and not a rightwards arrow on the submenu page that links to the second submenu page. If I add a Movie with 20 chapters, I get several submenu pages with left and rightwards arrows to navigate through them. Is there a way to get this effect with seperate clips? I don't want to join the 20 clips to one with chapters, because I want iDVD to return to the menu after playing each clip.
    Thanks in advance!

    How long is your longest of the 20 or so movies you want to put in? One trick you might be able to use is to add a lot of chapters to that one movie to create a couple/few "scene selection" pages in iDVD. Add that movie to iDVD and the pages will be created.
    Now add your other shorts. You can cut and paste between menus, so cut them from the main menu and drop them into the scene selection menus.
    The chapters from your long movie can be selected and deleted, leaving only the short movies on those pages. Keep in mind that you are only removing the chapters from the menus. Those chapters will still exist in the movie itself so when someone is playing the movie and hit the chapter forward or back button on the remote, it will jump to the next chapter. But that might be fine.

  • Beeping noise when using script to move to new field

    I have a PDF form with multiple text fields and check boxes.  For each of the text fields I have a custom keystroke script that sets the focus to the next text field if the Enter key is pressed or if the field is full.  Below is part of that script:
    if(event.keyCode==13) {
    this.getField(nextfield).setFocus();
    else
    if ( event.fieldFull)
    this.getField(nextfield).setFocus();
    The script is working (the focus changes to the next text field if Enter is pressed or if the field is full), however when the cursor moves to the next field there is a beeping noise.  It's pretty irritating... is there a way to suppress that?
    Thanks for your help!

    So you want to auto-tab to the next field if Enter is pressed or when the field is full? First of all, you have to set the field as multi-line, otherwise Enter would just commit the value and you won't be able to differentiate it from other characters and catch it. If you do that what you can use is the change property of the event object, like so:
    if (event.change.charCodeAt(0)==10) { // If the user pressed Enter
         event.rc = false;  // reject the Enter value
         this.getField("NextField").setFocus(); // tab to the next field
    } else if (event.fieldFull) { // If the field is full
         this.getField("NextField").setFocus(); // tab to the next field
    Of course, you'll have to set a maximum allowed number of characters for the fieldFull property to become relevant.

  • Acrobat's menu disappears when using QApplication even with qt_mac_set_native_menubar(false)

    I am working an Acrobat plugin (SDK acrobat 8) which uses Qt Widgets. It works fine with Qt 4.3.4.
    After upgrading to Qt 4.6.4 carbon, it is no longer possible to see Acrobat's menu if QApplication is instanciated.
    int argc = 0;
    (void)new QApplication(argc, 0, true);
    qt_mac_set_native_menubar(false);
    With those 3 lines, the acrobat menu does not load, neither can it be quit other than with a force quit.
    There are no warning messages, everything seems to be working fine, except that is really does not.
    Without those 3 lines, acrobat works well as long as not widgets are created (see QApplication doc).
    Why?
    Thanks for whatever information you may have

    The solution was to use qApp->setAttribute(Qt::AA_MacPluginApplication,true); insead of
    qt_mac_set_native_menubar(false);

  • Lost transitions when using, send to, from FCP

    Hi,
    I just used, send to Motion, on 2 stills from FCPv6 that had a cross fade between them. Once they got to Motion they had lost that cross fade. How do I make FCP send the transition as well?
    Best wishes
    Michael
    Message was edited by: Michael Curtis

    I'd set it all up in FCP - straight cuts, to time everything to the music, vo, or whatever, then send it all to Motion, where I'd do the zooms and scans - you need to extend the end of each clip to create overlap for the fade in/fade out behavior, and you need to change the scale interpolation to bezier to match position (which is bezier by default) for perfect starts and stops, but it's faster and easier by far than doing it in FCP - and realtime playback as you work.

To re-enable the add-ons, you need to open up and use the add-ons control panel through FireFox. Any attempt to do so causes the FireFox add-on control page to close immediately.

  • Can a menu dissolve into another when a script jumps to the 2nd menu?

    Is there a way to get one menu to dissolve into the other when a script is used to get from one to the other?
    If a button on menu 1 has menu 2 as its target and menu 1 has a dissolve as the transition, then the transition from menu 1 to menu 2 is very smooth. However, if a button on menu 1 has as its target a script with the single command JUMP MENU 2, then there are a few seconds of black seen between the two menus.

    The reason for using a script to get to the chapter menu instead of setting the target of the button to the chapter menu is to avoid pre-scripts. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1822130&tstart=15 , a thread I started in which you recently advised against using pre-scripts. My DVD has a main menu and a chapter menu. The main menu has two buttons: one to go directly to the track ("Play movie"), and a second to go to the chapter menu. Pressing the MENU button on the remote while playing the track sends you to a script that jumps to the main menu or the chapter menu depending upon whether you got to the track from the "Play movie" button or from the chapter menu. There is a pre-script for the main menu that highlights the last button used, and there is another pre-script for the chapter menu that highlights the button of the last played chapter. In order to eliminate the pre-script for the chapter menu I would instead have to use that pre-script as the target of the button to go to the chapter menu so that the correct chapter button would be highlighted, but then I get the black between the menus instead of the dissolve.
    I haven't tried it yet, but perhaps the script that decides whether the remote MENU button jumps to the main menu or chapter menu could also decide which button to highlight. If that could work then I could eliminate the pre-script for the chapter menu.

  • Make a menu tab active when using templates

    Could anyone tell me how de we achieve making a menu tab active when using a template and a combination of html & php. I am putting the code I am using for my menu and do not see how to do this and how to relate inner pages to the right menu tab ... The site has hundreds of pages so i hope there is an easy way to do this without having to create duplicated templates. Many thanks.

    Humm .. really not sure what I'm doing wrong here .... I've been redesigning the whole menu but cannot get that to work , if you dont mind I am sending you the code here first so you can already have a look and see if there is some obvious mistake , I am still testing all this on my local machineand as I completly re made the menu for the purpose I cannot upload the files and let the client see a menu like this  (now I was also wondering if maybe this would only work on a live server ?)
    So my menu is like this
    <div id="nav-container"><div id="nav">
        <ul>
          <li><a href="../index.html">Home</a></li>
          <li><a href="../viagem-brasil/destinos.html">Destinos</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">menu</a></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>
    Then just befor the </body> tag I have the following :
    <script src="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/includes_minified/SpryDOMUtils .js"></script>
    <script>
           function InitPage(){
            Spry.$$('nav li').forEach(function(node){
            var a=node.getElementsByTagName("a")[0]; // finds all a elements inside the li, but we only want the first so [0]
            if(a.href == window.location){
                Spry.Utils.addClassName(node,"activeMenuItem");
        Spry.Utils.addLoadListener(InitPage);
        </script>

  • Do I have to use scripting to go back to a specific menu?

    I have created a DVD with a main menu and also with 3 submenus.
    When I go to submenu 1 and play a chapter, if I hit stop and then
    menu it will go back to the main menu and not sub menu 1.
    I know when I watch deleted scenes from a movie when I press stop and then
    menu, it goes back to the deleted scenes menu and not the main menu. This is what I'm trying to recreate with my DVD.
    I set my submenu up so that when the track of the submenu is finished playing it will jump back to that submenu.
    This is fine if you let the track playout, but if you want to stop the track and go back to that submenu, this is where I'm lost.
    Is scripting the only way to accomplish this task of going back to the sub menu you are in, when you hit stop and menu?
    Thanks

    Hi Patch - you could do this wiht stories as well, but scripting is a more efficient answer to the problem.
    Whenever you ahve multiple menus accessing the same track (albeit at different points) it is a headache getting the menu call correct.
    In essence, what you do is tag each menu with a number as it plays and then look to see what number was last set so that you can get back to the correct menu. The scripts are very simple (two liners) but there are several ways of setting them up. For lots of reasons I believe that the best way is to create a script for every menu (in your case, four scripts). Before each menu plays, play the script (don't set them as pre-scripts unless you have to) and set a unique number for each menu. The code looks like this:
    mov GPRM0, 1
    Jump menu1
    What this says is 'put a value of '1' into the first memory slot and then jump to the first menu'. This script could be the start up item for your disc. On menu 1 will be a button that should take you to menu 2. Instead of setting it to the menu, point it at your second script:
    mov GPRM0, 2
    Jump menu2
    What has happened now is that the original value has been overwritten by this script. Do the same for every menu that you have got - each time you have a button going to a menu, point it at the appropriate script. Buttons on later menus going back to the main menu can go to script 1 as well.
    Now, when you are playing your track and press the 'menu' button you send the user to a final script:
    Jump menu1 If (GPRM0 = 1)
    Jump menu2 If (GPRM0 = 2)
    Jump menu3 If (GPRM0 = 3)
    Jump menu4 If (GPRM0 = 4)
    This then looks in the memory slot and finds the last value in there. You then jump to the menu associated with that value.
    If you use stories, all you do is set your chapter markers into a story container and set the end jump and menu call to go to the right menu on a story by story basis. It works just the same as the scripts, but the scripting is slightly faster to set up in your project.

  • 1.Assign shortcuts to scripts 2. Actions remember insert menu commands when app is started

    It been ask before... Many times.  There is probably a current request right now.   It will be asked again... And again... And again...  Under keyboard shortcuts, allow scripts to assigned a shortcut.  Also have actions remember insert menu commands when the application is restarted.   Was patiently waiting years ago... Now I am starting to grit my teeth. When my dentist lectures me over grinding my teeth, she will not be as forgiving as I have been over the years.   It is time to set a small portion of available resources to fix and add functionality to this.

    OK, so at least we have one solution "with shortcut for script problem":
    1. Put "script.jsx" into folder  Mac OS X > Applications/Adobe Illustrator {version}/Presets/{Lang}/Scripts
    2. Make Action, "insert menu item" in it -> select "File\Scripts\script.jsx"
    3. Assign shortcut to this action. PROFIT
    But! The problem is: Illustrator "forgets" about menu item in action after restart.
    Therefore you can use script shortcut only one time per "session", and every time starting we need to make "insert menu item".
    Well, this is the second part of topic question, I guess. And I don't have solution. This is what I got:
    0. If you have several scripts with shortcuts, everyday inserting all scripts in actions is boring. Make a folder for this actions. And "Save actions" it to ".aia"
    1. Every time starting Illustrator — Delete folder with your special "scripts-actions" (because it's actions is emptied!)
    2. Then go to "File>Scripts>...". Now just gently stroke your scripts with cursor. Like a kitty. Ahahaha! )) It is not a joke!!! Do not start the scripts, just enter to its' submenu.
    3. Now "Load actions" from your .aia. Have a nice automated session with your magic scripts! This works for me. If you have daily work routine and 5-10 scripts, this is the best solution.
    * If you skip step 2, you will get "Some event has not been registered for actions"! And empty action. If first you will stroke the kitty, you will get your magic shortcuts after "Loading actions"! As I told, this not a joke, but strange Illustrator behavior.
    * If you did not delete previous folder (step 1), you'll get 2 folders with actions, old one — without scripts, new one — without assigned shortcuts. And nothing works. Delete all and reload.
    * One more thing. I have Scriptographer Extension. This extension manages scripts (js) and has "scriptographer palette". In this palette I found shortcuts, to execute selected script and etc. So, in theory it is possible to rebuild this extension with shortcuts for some scripts. Maybe we should dig in that direction? I'm too stupid for this.

    Hi rketek1, you may be viewing information about something other than the current release of Firefox for Android.
    When using the Knowledge Base here, if the article title doesn't mention Android, check the "Editing Tools" section in the left sidebar to make sure it specified Firefox for Android and not one of the desktop versions.
    For what it's worth, I have attached screen shots of the "3-dot" menu from a Nexus 5. "Back" is a <s>physical</s> button on the device, so it doesn't appear on the screen ''within Firefox''.
