Navigating between scenes using buttons

Hi, I have created several scenes that all have the same navigation bar consisting of l buttons which take the user to the various scenes. The code for the buttons (listeners and handlers)is on frame one in the first scene. It works fine as long I am in the first scene, once I have navigated to another scene (scene 2) the buttons do not respond. I thought that the AS3 code on the first scene is available to other scenes as well? Could you suggest examples of code that will power up the same buttons placed on different scenes? (I am using CS4 Pro)
Thanks
Yossi

that's correct, it doesn't work to paste what you think is the same button into each scene. flash thinks they are different buttons.
again,
the easiest fix is to remove your buttons from the other (than scene 1, frame 1) keyframes and in scene1, frame 1, use:
addChild(yourbutton); // for each button

Indesign cs6 menu and tool bar disappear between windows using mission control in mountain lion

heres 2 screen grabs before and after. while navigating between 'spaces' using mission control in mountain lion. issue - the menu and tools bars disappear - not all of them just parts of them. to get back i hit 'tab' button twice which hides and shows tools. very annoying - does anyone know of a fix or is this another bug which i have to live with. im using a macpro june 2012/running 10.8.4 and 2 screens - left for artboard - right for all tool windows.

thanks steve - yes that works as does using the tab key - all well....until i move to another 'space' and then come back again.
for example: my setup is like this - no2 space has indesign project. no3 space has photoshop. so im working on a page within indesign and i need to edit an image- i double click the pic and it opens in photoshop on the other 'space' save the file and go back to indesign to update pic and find menu/tools all over the place - so hit tab twice back to normal - until i 'move' out of that space into another - photoshop/ mail/ whatever - as i toggle between spaces the indesign menu will always be 'corrupt' for a better word. hope that makes sense.

Is it possible to use booleans to build a VI that uses buttons to switch between screens (3 only) while the other screens disappear?

As a beginner, I need help figuring out how to build a simply VI that uses boolean logic to switch between three different screens. I need a "Home" screen, the next screen which has a button to go back "Home" and a third screen which has two buttons to go "Home" and "Previous Screen". Can someone help me with a simple block diagram?

Hi,
Or put the data in three tab controls. The tabs itself are hidden. The
program switches between the tab sheet if one of the buttons is pressed.
The buttons are best not copied, e.g. the same buttons are used in every tab
sheet (buttons hover above the tab, a black shadow will apear). If the first
sheet is shown, button 2 and 3 are hidden, sheet two: only button 3 is
hidden, sheet three no button is hidden.
Showing the tabs allows the user to choose the views directlly. The button
logic is not needed anymore. But you'll have to live with a simple tab
sheet, instead of a fancy button system!
Regards,
Wiebe.

How to cycle through scenes using the up and down buttons??? (Please help, novice!)

Hi,
I'm currently trying to teach myself how to use flash CS5 and actionscript 3 and apart from doing small amounts of programing here and there I'm a complete novice.
I have 36 photographs taken at 10-degree angles, making an object and i have each image in a different scene, with hidden buttons asigned to different parts of the object so that whenever you hover your mouse over them it provides some more information.
What I want to do is to be able to cycle through these images in the different scenes using the up and down buttons on the keyboard.
I'm hoping that I'm at least half way there having assigned the 'hot-spots' but I'm just stuck on the final part... please help!!!!
Many thanks in advance!
Harry

If you are talking about the arrow keys on the keyboard you will have to use a Keyboard Event listener and take note of the constant value for resulting KeyCode
This website seems to have a handle on it:
http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3keyboard/
There is another method that allows you to listen just to the keys you want (up and down):

After downloading firefox to a new computer and using sync I no longer have any navigation bar or menu button.

This is on a windows computer at work. It actually happened on 2 new computers. Before the sync, both the navigation bar and menu button were there. After the sync - Gone! I have tried uninstalling firefox and then reinstalling, but when I reinstall, the problem is already there, and the bookmarks from the sync reappear automatically on the reinstalled version. Is there any way to uninstall the sync?

Currently UI customizations do not sync. However you can add this about:config.
services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.uiCustomization.state = true

How do I make a movie clip play between scenes?

I am VERYnew to flash so please bear with me. I am having a
problem with a movie clip playing between scenes. As scene 1 plays,
the movie works correctly. When I click on my button to go to scene
2 the movie clip starts over. I would like it to continue from
scene 1 seamlessly. Is this possible? How do I do it?

avoid scenes - they are only for timeline management inside
flash only - upon export it all becomes
one long timeline - using them can be useful but in many
instances it can cause navigational issues
such as yours. Many developers avoid scenes - the ones who
use them are mostly animators who have
longer timelines with different scenes (actual settings, like
backgrounds and characters).

How to navigating between layers?( as if they were pages of a book?)

I need a good advice on design and navigating between some different layers.
I am a Adobe Director user, and I am used to think of “navigating between frames”. also frames as pages of a book, while in flash time-frames.
In Director one can navigate between different frames with each containing many components.
And this does not make any conflict since the frames are some kind of pages of a book, you go to any page you want and back again.
I am designing math training application in falsh-CS6, in which the user should be able to navigate from start-menu by choosing an
exercise number and then go to the wanted exercise and then create an exercise by a create_excercise button, there back again to menu to choose another and so on. How I can do it clean in flash?
As I see I have to place everything in the same “frame” in flash, and it becomes little practical and confusing since there
are many things all gathered in the same frame, where they should instead appear in their respective “pages”.
I have done some works in flash: made 4 layers in flash with the following contents:
layer 1: for my menu( contains 3 buttons, q1bt, q2bt, q3bt)
layer 2: for question 1( contains 3 buttons makeQ1bt, chekAns1bt, and gotoMenuBtn)
the same is for layer 3 and 4.
I see no options rather than making different components visible or invisible whole way! but is there a better way?
I appreciate any help.

Flash does allow more than one frame - that is one of the foundations of working with it. You can restrict yourself to using just one frame if you like, but it is not required and very often people use the timeline instead of keeping things in one place.
I have no familiarity with Director, but what you just described sounds like designing using the timeline of Flash. With Flash you can use the timeline in the fashion you just described where different pages occupy different frames of the timeline and you can navigate from one to another. You are not stuck with one frame in Flash... you can create a new keyframe at any point along the timeline and add new/different content to it, while retaining a menu that exists across all pages (or not - it's your choice)..

Navigation between pages

Dear All,
A few days ago i started to work with webcenter portal and i have a problem:
My use case:
I have 2 pages(both based on default template), each of them contains single task flow with single page fragment:
page1 - contains task flow tf1.xml with page fragment view1.jsff
page2 - contains task flow tf2.xml with page fragment view2.jsff
I need to navigate between this 2 pages with custom buttons(or links) which have to be created inside page fragments.
I added both pages to default-navigation-model.xml and after running the application i am able to navigate between them using links, which template creates dynamiclly(taking all the default-navigation-model's content into iterator and creating navigation links on page load).
The code from template file(skipping the iterator):
<af:commandLink id="pt_cl1" text="#{node.title}"
inlineStyle="font-size:small;#{node.selected ? 'font-weight:bold;' : ''}"
action="pprnav"
disabled="#{not node.navigable}"
actionListener="#{navigationContext.processAction}"
clientComponent="#{node.attributes['Target'] == '_popup' ? true : false}">

<f:attribute name="node" value="#{node}"/>
all this works just fine.
Now i need to create a button in my view1.jsff(page fragment from first task flow on page1) , which would navigate me to my second page.
I am able to do this with goLink setting
navigate="#{naviagtionContext.defaultNavigationModel.node[page2].goLinkPrettyUrl}", but this reloads the whole template what i don't need, and also i would like to add some actionListener to this link or button later so i need to navigate using commandLink or commandButton.
The example from page template doesn't work for my pages:
My commandLink looks like this:
<af:commandLink id="pt_cl1" text="Go page 2"
action="pprnav"
actionListener="#{navigationContext.processAction}"
clientComponent="false">
<f:attribute name="node" value="#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.node['page2']}"/>
</af:commandLink>
but second line - action="pprnav" throws some empty screen and nothing else happens(guess it's because there is no partial page refresh in this case).
Without this line it works, i was able to insert some output text fields in my page and see, that the value of
#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.currentSelection.title} is changing properly(when i removed the action="pprnav" line, of couse without it navigation itself does not happen).
If i drop taskflows into my default-navigation-model.xml, skipping the pages action="pprnav" work fine(no empty screens appear and navigation happens), but i need to use the pages.
Is there any replacement to action="pprnav", to be able to navigate between these two pages?
Or may be there is another method to do this, which i couldn't find in Google?
BR,
Artur

It's an old thread, but I keep running into this issue every now and then.
The clue is:
Any task flow that uses the navigation model to trigger navigation within an application must include a parent-action activity named "wcnav_parentAction" in the task flow definition that propagates the "wcnav_outcome" to the root level, as follows:
<parent-action id="wcnav_parentAction">
<root-outcome>wcnav_outcome</root-outcome>
</parent-action>

Large number of http posts navigating between forms

Hi,
i'm not really a forms person (well not since v3/4 running character mode on a mainframe!), so please be patient if I'm not providing the most useful information.
An oracle forms 10 system that I have fallen into supporting has to me very poor performance in doing simple things like navigating between forms/tabs.
Looking at the java console (Running Sun JRE 1.6.0_17), and turning on network tracing, I can see a much larger number of post requests than I would expect (I looked here first as initially we had an issue with every request going via a proxy server, and I wondered if we had lost the bypass proxy setting). Only a normal number of GETS though.
Moving to one particualr detail form from a master record is generating over 300 post requests - I'v confirmed this looking at the Apache logs on the server. This is the worst one I have found, but in general the application appears to be extremely 'chatty'
The only other system I work with which uses forms doesn't generate anything like these numbers of requests, which makes me think this isn't normal (As well as the fact this particular form is very slow to open)
This is a third party application, so i don't have access to the source unfortunately.
Is there anything we should look at in our setup, or is this likely to be an application coding issue? This app is a recent conversion from a forms 6 client server application (Which itself ran ok, at least this bit of the application did with no delays in navigation between screens).
I'm happy to go back to the supplier, but it might help if I can point them into some specific directions, plus i'd like to know what's going on too!
Regards,
Carl

Sounds odd. 300 Requests is by far too much. As it was a C/S application: did they do anything else except the recompile on 10g? Moving from C/S to 10g webforms seems to be easy as you just need to recompile but in fact it isn't. There are many things which didn't matter in a C/S environment but have disastrous effects once the form is deployed over the web. The synchronize built in for example. In C/S calls to synchronize wasn't that bad; But when you are using web deployed forms...each call to synchronize is a roundtrip. The usage of timers is also best kept on a low level in webforms for example.
A good starting point for the whole do's and dont's when moving forms to the web is the forms upgrade center:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/index-095046.html
If you don't have the source code available that's unfortune; but if you want to know what's happening behind the scenes there is the possibility to trace a forms session:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14032/tracing002.htm#i1035515
maybe this sheds some light upon what's going on.

Please Help.Transition effects between scenes.

Hello,
I am simulating an Ipad device in flash CS6, with AS3, and I have made one scene for the desktop (with all the app icons) and another scene for each app.
I'm using buttons to navigate between apps (each app icon is a button), and made another button for the Ipad home button to go back to desktop.
By the way , I'm using this code for the buttons;
          btn_music.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, abrerep);
          function abrerep (event:MouseEvent):void {
          gotoAndStop("1","Reproductor");
It works fine , but I would like to add a transition effect (like a fade out, or something similar to what ipad actually do) when you open an app or go back to desktop (change scene).
Any advice on how to do this?!!
I apreciate your help, thanks in advance.
PD: Also I would like to simulate a web browser app (like safari), that when you open it, it goes to a web site, for example www.apple.com
Any Ideas to this??

Doing trransitions along a timeline using scenes is not very designer-friendly. You are better off avoiding the using of frames and even the timeline. Just have each section as a movieclip in one frame and control the visibility of each. Then you can use Actionscript to fade things in and/or out as needed, while having the benefit of easily retaining the states of sections already visited. You should be able to convert each scene into a movieclip by copying the timeline into a movieclip.

You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

How can i use Button in BEx 7.0

Dear Folks,
Could you help me please ..
In BI 7.0, for BEx analyzer i see we can use button, combo box, analysis grid.
If i have a requirement like this:
1. I have sales report, where it has information about sales person.
2. And i want to filter that report with the sales person that i choose from combo box.
For that requirement, i tried to :
1. I Create a query to Sales info-provider for displaying sales.
2. I Create a query to either to MD Sales person / Sales info-provider in order to get Sales persons data.
3. I assign point no 1 to Analysis Grid.
4. I assign point no 2 to Combo box.
My questions are:
a. Is my techniques correct ??
b. How can i use button to execute filter into the corresponding report ???
c. Is there any tutorial regarding this ?? Could you share it to me please ..
Really need your guidances..
regards,
Niel..

Hi Niel,
You can use the method you specified.
In Bex Analyzer you have design mode where you can have the following items Button, Analysis Grid and Combo box.
To work with the button you need to use the Command Wizard which consists of pre-defined functions, out of those select the one which suits your requirement and supply the parameters. As it is done thorugh a Wizard it would be easy to do.
Also,
The Button Name displays the name of the button, which is generated automatically and is unique. This name is used on the BEx Analyzer Design Toolbar menu to refer to a particular instance of the button.
· Range u2013 Manipulate coordinates for a cell or cells in this field to move or resize the button.
· Button Text - The text (caption) you want to display on the button. You can use this to describe the command the button executes.
· Command Range (optional) - Specify a three-column range of cells in the worksheet that contains command parameters. In these cells, you provide the same parameters (Name, Index, and Value) as in the Static Parameters, but in the worksheet these can be variable, changing during
navigation based on query results or on a value you manually specify.

Hello,
You can find detailed presentations in the learning maps available on the SAP Service Marketplace http://service.sap.com/rkt-crm for release CRM 2006s, CRM 2007, or CRM 7.0. In case I didn't mention it before, Intent-Driven Interaction (IDI) was first introduced and is only available starting with CRM 2006s and above. In the Interaction Center area, there is a presentation called "Rule Based Automation and Guidance" which covers IDI. I'm not sure if you can access the URL directly, but just in case here it is: [https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001162852007E].

Fixed: How to remember the DataTable state and still use buttons

Lets say that you have a DataTable on a page, with a bunch of hyper links and buttons on the same page (for navigation to various parts of your application). If you use the built in pagination and sorting, you will find that the following behaviour:
1. DataTable remembers its state (sorting, page number, etc.) if you click on any hyper link. You can even go back to a different page, and then come back to the original page to find that your DataTable is in the state you left it (very cool, it is session scope and works as intended).
2. If you click on any button, DataTable does not remember its previous state (goes back to page 1 and default worting, etc.). After playing around with it and going nuts, I discovered the way to use Button and still have the DataTable remember its state. I wanted to share it with the rest of you:
    public String btnClose_action() {
        try {
            this.getExternalContext().redirect("faces/users.jsp");
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            log("Error: userDetail > btnClose_action", ex);
        return null;
    }This was my original post:

II think there should be a property
to disable form submission on buttons. There is!
To make the form not be submitted by a button click:
1. In the Visual Designer, select the button.
2. In the Properties window set the JavaScript > onClick property to return false;

Problem using buttons to switch sets

I just want to do the simple thing of using the set buttons to switch up and down between sets but its proving infuriating. Lets say i have 4 sets….and i want to just cycle up and down them….i assign the set up button to previous set and set down button to next set…..but it doesn't work…or sometimes just jumps between set one and set four ignoring the sets in-between. Anyone know what the deal is?

Think I've figured it out. I had 4 sets with no patches (don't need to switch patches)…..when i added a patch to each set it would switch between them using the buttons.
