MovieClip over buttons

Hi all,
I have a simple flash app that has a serise of pages with
back,next buttons. There is also a help button. When the user
clicks 'help' I have a full page movie clip with the help details
that is made visible (it is initially set as _visible=false). The
problem I am having, is that the next/back buttons below (that are
now masked), still work!! If you move your cursor over where they
would be, the finger icon appears and clicking does actually movr
the page on or back - even though you can't see it!
Is there something I can do to stop this - or is ther a
better way of showing the help page?
Cheers
Tim

One way is to temporarily disable all those buttons when you
make the movie clip visible. and then re-enbale them when you make
the MC invisible. If you have no buttons in the MC that you need to
interact with, you can make the MC a button which will prevent
anything underneath it from being accesible.
full_page_mc_whatevermyinstancenameis.onRollOver = function()
this.useHandCursor = false;
If it were me, I would probably go with what is behind door
#1. Store all the names of the buttons in an array and then run
through a for loop to enable them or disable them as needed.
Another option is to have two full page MCs. One below the
one you really want to see. Make the one below a button and use the
script above so that it becomes a button but doesn't make the hand
cursor pop up and then you can still have buttons in the top MC.
Make both of those large MCs visible and invisible at the same
time.

Problem in using Step into and Step Over button in Test Stand user interface development.

hi,
I am developing operator interface in VC++
currently I am facing a problem, I have created Teststand UI button controls dynamically on the dialog, I have assigned the buttons for break, Resume, Break all, Resume all, Step into and step over.
Break, Besume, Break all , Resume all buttons are working fine, the Step into and step over buttons are enabling if I break the execution, but after breaking the execution when I click the Step into button I expect that the current step will be executed and, breaks at the next statement, but when I click the Step Into button It is behaving like resume button, I mean the executioin is going on till the end of the sequence file, it is not breaking at the next statement,
Is my Step into button working the way it is supposed to be?, it is the same case with my step over button alsoI am connecting the TSUI button control to the execution view mgr in the CTestExecDlg:nDisplayExecutionApplicationMgr(LPDISPATCH exec, ExecutionDisplayReasons reason)
message funciton , and nothing I am doing nothing else, this is my code statement how I am connecting the button to the execution view manager.
mExecutionTab.m_pControlPtrArray[0].mExecutionViewMgr->ConnectCommand(mExecutionTab.MiscControls.m_StepInto,CommandKind_StepInto,0,CommandConnection_NoOptions);
mExecutionTab.m_pControlPtrArray[0].mExecutionViewMgr->ConnectCommand(mExecutionTab.MiscControls.m_StepOver,CommandKind_StepOver,0,CommandConnection_NoOptions);
Am I missing anything wrong? Can anyone please help me out.

Al B,
I'm not the original author of this post, but I have encountered a similar problem. My C# application has implemented the following "debug" buttons that work just fine: Run All, Pause, Continue, Stop. But my Step Over button causes the Sequence to run to completion. When the user clicks on the StepOver button, only one line is executed:
this.axExecutionViewMgr.Execution.StepOver();
but it behaves like its calling
this.axExecutionViewMgr.ResumeExecution();
Can you offer any insight into this issue?

Javascript error in Safari (sequel to roll-over button problem)

Yesterday I started a thread on non-functioning roll-over buttons in Safari.
In the mean time (with the help of iBod) I founs out that the problem has got something to do with JavaScript.
The problem occurs in sites I built with FreewayPro 4.0.1
The url's:
www.wildeplantentuinen.nl
www.kunst-zin.nl
The problems occur only in Safari (2.0.2 and 3.0)and not in some other browsers (even ana IE version of 2001 works great)and probably since the last Tiger Update (10.4.11)
The JavaSriptConsole gives an "Undefined Value" error for all of the non-functioning elements on a specific line.
Any Javascript-gurus around that could help me. (I am not a code-wizard at all).

Thanks ra5ul,
That (more or less) solved the problem, . . . . . . but what is going on ?
I edited all sourcecode of numerous html-pages by hand and now they work the way they should in Safari.
But now every time I make a small change to any page, my web-building program changes the code back to the old syntax (which, again, all browsers can read except Safari).
Why does the problem only occur in Safari ?
I hate to put a line on the index-pages that Mac users should not try this website in Safari.
Problem is, I made these sites in Freeway and I don't want to upgrade that program because I switched to Dreamweaver and iWeb (for the simple ones).
Is there a smart work-around ?

Roll over buttons showing on all layers?

Hello,
I have created an interactive presentation in indesign CS4, I have a series of photos which all have roll over button states applied to them so they when you click the photo they will then show profile content for that photo. These are on separate layers and above the main content layer. When I export to Acrobat 9 the layers show in the correct order but when I then set the buttons up to show and hide the profile layer the photo button which is on a lower layer and should then be partially hidden by the profile panel but now sits on top of the content panel? Is this just the way it is in Acrobat or is there a setting in indesign I am missing as I did want the panel to pop up with a drop shadow etc you can still see part of the original photo underneath, is this achievable or do I then need to set a action to hide the initial photo button?
I have ran tests using just hyperlinks and these work and the photos then stay in the correct order but ideally I wanted to use rollovers.
Many thanks for any help.

Hello,
Unfortunately, you're in the Acrobat.com forum - not the Acrobat forum (confusing, we know). Here's the link the forum you're looking for:

Losing Mouse "hand" over buttons when publish for Web.

Hi,
I'm new to Flash. I'm publishing a web-site and I lose the "Hand" icon for the mouse over buttons after I publish and run the HTML=>Swf files from the Browser. When I "Test the movie" from flash I see the "Hand" over buttons just fine.
Is there a publish setting that I'm missing which allows the hand to remain?
Please help.
Thanks,

Hi, Had to work yesterday.
At the moment I'm running/testing locally (which may be the problem) from a flash secure directory on my desktop. So no link sorry.
I think I need to look into setting up a test service with Yahoo or something. Any suggestions? I'm not really sure how to upload my completed website (.html and .swf files) to a service. That's a different topic/question. Any help along those lines is greatly appreciated.
Anyway, I'm using safari 5.1.7 on my IMac. and Safari 6.0.3 on my Mac Pro. and Firefox 21.0 (primarily) or Internel Explorer (rarely) on my "windows" laptop. The "Hand" works on all of these (files local to the respective computer) except the IMAC Safari 5.1.7 flash player 12.0 combination, which was my first test environment scenerio.
I'm planning to do two things.
1) Update my IMAC to Safari 6.0.
2) Set up a test area with a service provider. This in itself may resolve the issue for the Safari 5.1.7. At least I'll be testing in a "real world" environment.
So, thank you for your help with this. I think we can call it solved. If my testing on a true server shows the same results then I may shoot out another question. I think it is a nice goal to have our web site creations run on all platforms and browser comibations but is that realistic? If we test on as many combinations of the most recent software releases as we can with reasonable success what more can we do? I'd like to hear you opinion. Feel free to sent me an email.
Would you like me to open a new question/discussion regarding the help finding and uploading files to a service provider?
Thanks again,
Jeff

Hovering over button in WAD

Hi experts,
Is there any feature in WAD of hovering over button (Buttons have a "hover stateu201D property) so that if put
mouse cursor they are highlighted the additional information over button.

Rezo,
"Standard Overlay Menus" function the way you are needing.
I would highly advise you to dump the multi-layer menu creation method you've been experimenting with (this marks the 9th anniversary I've been harping on this exact subject ).
You haven't seen your boss go ballistic, till you get all the calls from your customers saying their disc they bought from you navigates too slowly, gets hung up in players, etc.
Go with the Standard Overlay Menus; these are the only types of menus that should reside on DVDs slated for mass release.
Take care,

This document explains setting up and using VoiceOver.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4322
The overall settings for VoiceOver is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.
Artist name and song name - Press and release the VoiceOver button.
The playlist menu - Press and hold the VoiceOver button.

My ipod shuffle voice over button does not list the song/artist or give battery status. I am following direions but it doesn't respond wether I push it once or twice. Any ideas?

?The voice over button does not work per directions (press once for title/artist; press twice for battery status. Any ideas how to make this work?

I discovered that if I push the button quickly (twice), I get the battery status. But I still do not have any title artist data. The music get quieter but no info.

HT4310 I'm trying to check the status of my battery. My shuffle is on, I'm pressing the voice over button twice, but I don't get any light at all. What should I do?

Updating roll over buttons cross website

Hello there,
I'm updating a website for a friend and have put new role
over buttons on the index page. I created the buttons in
Illustrator and saved them in a new buttons folder as GIF files.
The old buttons were JPG so I couldn't just save them and they'd
automatically update.
Anyway, I've redone the index page and my question is can I
copy and paste these new role over buttons along with their links
to all the other HTML pages in the website? I'm using Dreamweaver
by the way. I want to avoid having to individually go in and update
each button by hand as it will take me for ever.
Thanks a million for any help!
M

Whether you do this manually, or with a sitewide find and
replace, you will
have to change the code for each rollover to accommodate the
filename
change. Why did you save as GIF instead of JPG? If you had
not changed the
filename, you could just upload the new images and they would
work on every
page.

MovieClip versus Button

The setup: A 6-tab navigation with a simple animation where
the tab rises and falls. Each tab is a separate movie clip that
uses a "null" Button (read: square graphic with alpha set to 0) as
a hit area contained within each timeline.
The Issue: When the AS is on the main timeline (i.e.,
mcTab1.onRollOver...), the animation will "jitter" when the cursor
passes over it slowly. But when the AS is moved directly on to the
movieclip's null button instance (i.e. on(rollover)..), there is no
jitter?
While the latter fixes the jitter, I'm wondering why there is
this disparity. As a personal "best practice" I keep my AS on the
main timeline in its own layer for ease of debugging and code
maintenance. I've nothing against putting AS on instances, but it
can make for some slow troubleshooting on some of my larger
projects. If I have to make an exception to putting AS on Button
instances, I can live with that, but I don't understand why this
would even be an issue to begin with.
Any thoughts?

Code placement would have no effect - aside from maybe your
scope changing.
The only time I've ever seen a button 'jitter' is when the
button moves
causing the onRollOut event to happen before it should.
Dpending on the code
and button, rollOver's and rollOut's can be continously
generated causing a
jitter. Put some trace statements in your code to see if this
is the
problem.

MovieClip as button animate on MOUSE_OVER

Hello,
Obviously I'm an AS3 newbie and I appreciate your help so
here goes...
I have a SCENE with 4 MOVIECLIPS near the bottom of the scene
that when moused over I want them to scroll/animate upwards to
reveal the full view of the movieclip which has a message on it.
Very similar to www.sunchips.com. Please look at this and you'll
know exactly what I'm trying to do.
In the main timeline I have the 4 movieclip properties set as
BUTTON with instance names on each mc. The attached code is for the
first button/mc. I want the mc to scroll up when you mouse over it
then scroll down when you mouse out. Thanks for your time!
Here is the AS code that is on the last frame of the SCENE
where it stops the intro animation.
I get this error message when I test the movie:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through
a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
=================================

If they are movieclips, identify them as movieclips in the
properties panel. Buttons do not have a gotoAndPlay method.

MovieClips as Buttons! Need help here!

Hi I have made several movieclips and added "on"-events for
them on the main timeline. These events tells it to play something
INSIDE the movieclips (i have been labeling keyframes inside the
MC). So far no problems.
I'm using Flash Pro 8 btw..
The problem occurrs between the onRollOver and the
onRollOut.( Or between the "_over" and "_out" labels inside the
MC.)
If I move the mouse to fast over my button, it doesnt
automatically jump to the "_out"-label inside my MC.
(before the playhead inside the mc gets to the stop(); were
the _out label is, too).
Sorry, my english sucks. I'm completely stuck and my flash
web page needs to be handed in wery soon. I would appreciate your
help!
Here is a link to an example file with my problem, so that
you can take a look at it yourself!:
http://home.no.net/mlaffa2/2006/example.swf
http://home.no.net/mlaffa2/2006/example.fla
And this is the thing I'm working on, with the problem times
100:
http://home.no.net/mlaffa2/2006/
http://home.no.net/mlaffa2/2006/jep.fla

Try moving your "_out" label one frame to the right so it is
after the frame
with the stop().
