Mouseover not working in my layered menus

I've just finished creating a project in DVDSP4 in which I have created a set of layered buttons for each of my menus (which was no small achievement I can tell you!) so that a curved icon appears underneath each menu heading when it is selected. When I simulate the project in DVDSP the DVD plays exactly as I expected, with a mouse over resulting in the curved icon appearing underneath each header and then disappearing correctly when I move to the next button/heading.
However, when I author the DVD and play it on a MAC/PC, the mouseover no longer works. I have to click each heading to select it (and make the layered curved icon appear) and then click again to load that content or sub-menu.
I've been playing around with the settings but, as it appears fine in simulator, the only way to check is to keep burning discs, but with no joy. Any ideas what might be the problem?

Thanks - that's kind of what I expected. Reason I went with layers was that the client i'm producing it for wanted to imitate an existing style of button. Couldn't find anyway of recreating it with a standard menus. At least i've got a good comeback if they give me grief!
Cheers

Snapping not working for masked layers in Photoshop CC

I am working with multiple layers which have been masked and I am using a grid that has been set up with the guide layout options in Photoshop CC. What I have found is that the masked layers will not snap to guides. It is as if the snapping feature doesn't recognize the masked edge only the true edge of the layer ( which is not visible). This verified when I applied the layer mask to the layer and effectively deleted the non-visible part of the image, and then the "masked-now cropped" image would snap. Is there any way to get snapping to work with a masked layer?

As JJMack stated, the snap only works on the actual layer edges, not a masked area. One way to get around this is to make a duplicate of the layer you want to snap to a guide, apply the layer mask, link that layer with the original, then select only the layer without the mask to move it around and have it snap into place. After positioned, you can delete that layer and keep the masked layer. It's a bit a of a workaround, but it works.

Menu buttons not working in Apple DVD Player

I am having a real problem. I have a menu with three buttons. The default button takes you either of the other buttons (depending on whether you press right or down on the remote). These two buttons are auto-action and proceed imediately to other tracks. This works perfectly in home DVD players and in the Apple DVD Player using the "remote". Howver, if I try clicking the buttons using a mouse on the Apple DVD Player window, they DO NOT work! I have buttns over video on the same disc and these work perfectly by clicing on them with the mouse. Has anyone else had a problem like this and if so, have you found a solution? Many thanks!

Bug?: layers.add() is not working properly when invoked from menu (ID/CS6/Win7)

Hello Devs,
I am facing a mysterious issue with the layers.add() method.
I am trying to create n number of layers for my document. So I have decided to create a menu for this.
I have creatd two scripts
1. For creating menu & menu action,
2. Actual script that creates n number of layers.
When I run the script #2 direclty from ESTK it works fine.
Now when I try to invoke the same script from the Menu it is not working fine. Only the last layer is created.
Script 1: LayerPopupMenuAction
#target indesign
#targetengine createLayerset
var layerTemplateScript = File(File(getActiveScriptPath()).parent.fsName+"/IntializeTemplate.jsx");
var initTemplateHandler = {
    'beforeDisplay' : function(ev)
            ev.target.enabled = (app.documents.length>0);
    'onInvoke' : function()
            app.doScript(layerTemplateScript, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Initialize Script");
var layerMenuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("&Create Layer Set");
for(var init_ev in initTemplateHandler) {
    layerMenuAction.eventListeners.add(init_ev, initTemplateHandler[init_ev]);
var refMenuItem = app.menus.item("$ID/LayerPanelPopup");
refMenuItem.menuItems.add(layerMenuAction, LocationOptions.AFTER, refMenuItem.menuItems.item(2));
function getActiveScriptPath() {
    // This function returns the path to the active script, even when running from ESTK
    try {
        return app.activeScript;
    } catch(e) {
        return e.fileName;
Script 2: IntializeTemplate
#target indesign
if (app.documents.length == 0){
    alert("Please open a document and try again", "Document Error", true);
    exit();
var templateDoc = app.activeDocument;
var layerNameArray = ["Fixed_Static_Assets", "Absolute_User_Assets", "Relative_User_Assets"];
CreateLayers(layerNameArray);
alert("Initialization Successful");
//--------------------------------FUNCTIONS ARE DEFINED HERE--------------------------------
function CreateLayers(LayerNameList){
    var layerListLength = LayerNameList.length;
    var layerObject;
    for (var ln=0; ln<layerListLength; ln++){
        layerObject = templateDoc.layers.itemByName(LayerNameList[ln]);
        if (layerObject.isValid==false){
            layerObject = templateDoc.layers.add({name:LayerNameList[ln]});
            //$.writeln('Layer Creation: ' + layerObject.isValid + ' for '+layerObject.name);
    //Merger Default Layer with the bottom layer:
    var defaultLayer = templateDoc.layers.itemByName("Layer 1");
    if(defaultLayer.isValid==true){
        //$.writeln('Default is Valid and will be merged with top most layer');
        layerObject.merge([defaultLayer]);
Any help / guidance on this regard will be much helpful.
@Marijan Tompa [tomaxxi]: I googled for the solution and noticed that you have already worked on similar type of script. Please help me if you can.
Thanks
Green4ever

Hi Green4ever,
At a very first sight I'd suspect UndoModes.FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT which, as you may know, can deeply scramble script steps, especially when a try...catch is in use.
Try to replace FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT by ENTIRE_SCRIPT and tell us.

Layered Menu Buttons not working on DVD player

Hello,
I just made an SD DVD with several layered menus. The backgrounds for the menus come from photoshop files with different layers for normal, selected, and active states. Navigating the main menu works fine in the simulator and when I play the disc in my computer, however, I can not arrow to another button on dvd players. I have made several discs this way and this is the first time I have had this problem. My burn process is to make an image and then burn the image in toast. Any thought?
-Brian

Hi Brian - welcome.
Layered menus are particularly tricky... they almost always require two actions from the user to get them working in a player. One click to land on the button and another to select it. This is really frustrating at times, but is down to the way the layered menus work.
You can convert them to standard menus pretty easily though, and unless you absolutely need to have different layers I'd strongly advise that you do convert them. Standard overlay type menus work with a rollover type of effect, allow you to have an audio bed and work far faster on DVD players.
The only time I'd stick with layers is when the selected state reveals a further piece of information that takes up most of the menu area. In all other cases I'd avoid them if I were you

I don't know, what's wrong

My copy of 9.3.3 says the file you have doesn't have any layers

Layered menu buttons not working when built.

I have a project that has one menu and one track. The menu has 7 buttons linked to 7 different markers in the track. When I run the simulation in DVD SP, the buttons link fine, and play as they should...but when I build the project and run it in DVD player or burn it to a disk, the buttons do not work.
If I create a non-layered menu, the buttons will work when built...
I feel like i'm just missing one little setting on the layered menu
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Don't forget that a layered menu will normally need two presses to get anything to happen, one to select the button and the second to activate it.
That said, are you sure that you have got the psd file set up correctly? I would recommend using a background layer with everything on it that you want to appear when not selected, then only adding layers with the changes necessary to show the button selection/activation.

Layers in DW not working! HELP!!!!

Don't know what's going on with my DW MX 2004. I created
layers with no problems until now. I'm in the right mode (Layout,
Standard) when I click on the Layer icon (or use Insert, Layout
Objects, Layer) nothing happens on the page, and can't draw it and
nothing appears.DW just does not place the layer on the page. I
went into behaviours "Set Events For" and set to various IE 4.0,
5.0, 6.0 etc, nothing, hoping that this will help solve the
problem. All I get this in my Head Tag <MMString:LoadString
id="insertbar/layer" />. I thought of reinstalling DW, but it
works fine otherwise. No changes were made to my computer or DW,
except that I downloaded IE 7 (but don't see why this would matter
in this case). HELP! Getting frustrated and annoyed!

Bug in DW? No, I don't think so. Need to be reinstalled?
That's what I'm
thinking too. Give it a try, please - make sure you uninstall
first (and
also make sure you backup your site definitions using DW's
EXPORT facility
first).

Safari hierarchical menus not working correctly

Hello all,
I'm having a problem with Safari's hierarchical menus not working correctly. They pop out in odd positions, and--worst of all--the big ones (for folders that contain lots of bookmarks) pop out right on top of the main bookmarks menu, making it all but impossible to navigate that main menu. I've tried all the usual tricks: log out/restart the system, restart Safari, reset Safari, boot in safe boot mode, repair permissions, yank Safari's bookmarks prefs file, even reinstall Safari, and nothing worked. I've also noticed the same behavior in Camino. My system hierarchical menus work fine, though, so I'm thinking I have a corrupt prefs file somewhere. I'm using Safari 4.04 with no extra plugins beyond what come with it on 10.5.8. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix this?

AFAIK, the submenu will pop on either side, depending on available space and if there are further subfolders, allowing them to continue in the same direction.
Since the new account doesn't exhibit the issue, there are two ways to attack the problem. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything not on that list into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

Layered Menu Not Working

I'm working through the Apple Pro Series DVDSP 3 and the lesson requires me to create a layered menu. The picture in the book shows how the rollover is supposed to work--a new image appears when the user rolls over the button. But that doesn't happen. It doesn't even work in the file created by the author. Very frustrating. I've tried restarting DVDSP and that doesn't work. Can anyone help? I'm wondering if my using files from DVDSP 3 is the problem. Shouldn't be since they're just updated automatically I think.

Take a look here
http://dvdstepbystep.com/layersover.php
Another example on how to do it and also a movie and downloads (DVD SP and Photoshop file) on how to do it
Not sure what may be going on with what you are using - when you say it is not working, in siumlator, in a build file in Apple DVD Player or a burned DVD? (See if the above link and items works)
