Need to lock position of a transparent button in a Mac Projector

Hi
I am running a Projector file on a touch screen kiosk. The basic index screen on the kiosk has 18 transparent buttons overlaying text on an underlying graphic. The buttons are have a background transparency set at 20% in order to identify the boundries of the button.
My problem is that anyone touching the buttons on the touch screen can drag the button away from its intended fixed position. I have locked the button sprite in the authoring mode but that does not seem to lock its position in the projector. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
Projector is running on a MAC mini with OS 10.5.7.
Thanks

My problem is that anyone touching the buttons on the touch screen can drag the button away from its intended fixed position.
Then you have either added code somewhere to allow the user to do this, or the sprite(number).moveableSprite property is TRUE for them all (which is something you can set using the Property Inspector -> Sprite tab - it's the Moveable button above the sprite Name entry field)

HT1320 my ipod nano is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it, I have restored it and it came back on in the hold position

My ipod naaIno is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it. I have tried restoring it and resetting it and it still comes back on in the hold/locked postion. It will only play when placed on a docking station and then I cant scroll to pick songs, I can only go to next song using buttons on docking station.

You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

How do I make a completely Transparent Button in Flash Builder

Hello, I am building an app and need a completely transparent button, Ive tried making one but nothing would happen when you clicked on it.
Thanks for the help.

Try this alpha="0.001"
Also add useHandCursor="true" and buttonMode="true" if you wish to have the hand cursor appear on hover.
example x="10" y="10" width="169" height="54" label="Button" alpha="0.001" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true"

How to make a completely transparent button in Flash Builder

I am making a mobile application, and I am wondering how to make a completely transparent button. I've tried using
<s:Button x="-5" y="0" width="410" height="1504"
skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TransparentNavigationButtonSkin" click="navigator.pushView(Sun)"/>
But it still has one line on the side. I need a way to make it completely transparent.

Transparent Buttons in Java Swing?

Hi!
I want to create transparent Buttons using java swing for my desktop application. Can any one tell me how to do it?

I can help, but it depends on what you mean by "transparent".
Do you mean TOTALLY transparent, or slightly transparent, or merely translucent? Do you want the text on the button to be in any way transparent? You really need to be more specific.
Basically, though, the concept is pretty simple. All swing components have several methods that can be overridden by somebody who knows what they are doing, in order to customize their appearances.
Some of these are: paint(), paintComponent(), ComponentUI.paint(), etc.
You need to determine the right place to put the new code. Then you extend the class, and change the transparency of the graphics object passed into the method in question, and then pass control to the super implementation of that method.
There are some traps you need to make sure you avoid, though:
1. If you want transparent components, you MUST have the opaque property of the component set to false. Otherwise, the components beneath your transparent button will never update.
2. When you start messing with a graphics object to create transparency, you need to make sure that you revert your changes to the graphics object when you are finished, because all painting uses the same graphics object -> so if you set your button transparent, and then forget to remove the transparency, all objects drawn after the button will also be drawn transparent.
A word of caution:
This sort of manipulation is not hard, but you NEED to understand the painting model for SWING. There are a few articles hosted by sun that can help you in this respect.
Good Luck!

Search and replace a clickbox for a transparent button?

Is it possible to replace all click boxes for transparent buttons in a project?
Why? Because you can style a transparent button. You cannot style (as far as i know) a clickbox.
Ton.

LOL, so Transparent Buttons aren't really what you want. Well, technically they may be, but you really don't want an honest to goodness transparent button.
Because you will need to re-create the functionality of the button, I might think it would be simpler to just add either a Rectangle Drawing Object or a Highlight Box and layer it over the top of the Click Boxes. But that's just me.
No, there is no functionality I'm aware of that will magickally transform all Click Boxes to Transparent Buttons. But nothing is stopping folks from requesting it via the Wish Form.

Transparent Buttons in ie8 cropped

I have noticed that if you place a photoshop button with transparency. In i.e.8 the right side of the button gets cut off. I changed the background-size: contain to background-size: 100% in the css and problem is solved. Looks great in all browsers and ie. You may want to look into using 100% instead of contain until Microsoft disappears.
Enjoy.

Make transparent "buttons" just for function?

I tried to make hyperlinks when I click text of vita, art,
statement, for example.
I just want to make sure what I am doing is right.
- Instead of making buttons for each of text ( i.e., vita,
art, statement),
- I will make one transparent "button" symbol (which means
just 0% alpha setting for color on Up/Over/Down but some color on
Hit state).
- then I will place this transparent button under the each
text.
- then, select each button, and make get URL actionscript.
Is this transparent button will work do you think?
One more question. If I put this button under "statement"
text, can I scale to make bigger enough to cover the text?
Or do you make each button symbols for vita, art, statement
of text?
Thanks in advance!

>> Instead of making buttons for each of text ( i.e.,

That's a good way to go. :)
>> (which means just 0% alpha setting for color on

Actually, *all* you need is some shape on the Hit frame. The
other
frames can be empty. That makes it easiest.

I would place it over each text, not under.
> then, select each button, and make get URL actionscript.
Sure. Or any other action.

scale to

Absolutely.

No, no! Use one single button symbol -- that's the whole
point: one
symbol used for many purposes ... saves on SWF file size and
makes your
Library less cluttered.

That all depends on how you're handling those button events.
Back in
Flash 5 (that's quite a while ago), you had to use on() or
onClipEvent(),
but since Flash MX (aka 6), it's been possible to put all
your code into a
single script layer. This is the current recommended "best
practice," and I
agree with it. Just give each button instance -- in this
case, each copy of
that single "invisible" button -- an instance name. You
accomplish that by
selecting each button on the Stage, in turn, and filling in
the Instance
Name field in the Property inspector.
Then use each instance name in a frame script and assign a
function to
the Button.onRelease event for each:
buttonA.onRelease = function() {
getURL("
http://www.domain.com/page.html");
buttonB.onRelease = function() {
getURL("
http://www.domain.com/some_where_else.html");
// etc.

Nano turns on in lock position

My IPOD NANO turns on when in the lock positions.
Help

Check your alarm and calendar events, even if you dont remember setting one . This would make the nano turn on automatically at the "set" time/s,even if the hold button is on.
If this is not the case, you may have a faulty hold button. If this is true, fill in a service request at http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Hope this helps

Transparent Button Link to URL not working when I publish

I am using mulitple tranparent buttons (over text) as a link to open a URL file in a seperate window on our company intranet. I created this file 6 months ago and it always works fine. Today, I needed to update the file and add another transparent button to link to a new url. When I preview the file, everything works fine and a browser window will open showing the correct web page but when I publish the file, nothing happens. None of the links work.
I have updated this file in the past and I have never had a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions. This should be a two minute update for me but has turned into a big problem.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff
What you might consider doing is to declare a common output folder. Then flag that folder as safe. Normally that's a one off and it just holds. But you do have the option of clearing the list of "safe" folders. Perhaps something clobbered that at some point.
Additionally, once you copy the content to a web server and view it in the browser using a URL, you shouldn't have any concerns. The link should work for all users.
Cheers... Rick

I have a line drawing (black on white paper) i have scanned and need to make the white paper transparent, maintaining the line drawing, can i and then HOW can i do this in PS?

i have a line drawing (black on white paper) i have scanned and need to make the white paper transparent, maintaining the line drawing, can i and then HOW can i do this in PS? this is for my business logo. ive used it for years but with a solid background. id like to have it just be the drawing over my photos with a transparent background.

First let me apologize for posting a reply that was only suitable for advanced users. Photoshop is broad and powerful therefore has a huge learning curve. In fact I would state no one knows and uses all of Photoshop. When we first get Photoshop it intimidate us and we're very uncomfortable using it. Many thing are not intuitive there in much learning involved. After some time we begin to know something and we are able to do some thing. Learning become rapid and we start playing in Photoshop. It is very important to play with Photoshop. Playing with Photoshop and asking for help with in forums like this IMO is the best way to learn.
Photoshop Power lies in layers, selection and automation. However it takes knowledge to use photoshop well so most powerful tool you have ins Photoshop is the gray matter between your ears. Most at one time or another want to watermark or put a logo on their image. So its best to automate this process. All run into a problem in the process. "Size" We find our assets vary in size and aspect ratios. Landscape, Portraits, Panoramas and others. This complicates automation. Vector graphics works best when size vary greatly. If you can not work out how to create a vector solution like a custom shape. Create your Logo and watermark large thing scale down better the up. Text scale well for text uses vectors graphics however if you rasterize text it will not scale well.
I do not type or do English well so let me do some screen captures. I can not stress enough how important Black, White, Grays and Blending is when it come to image processing. Become friends with Multiply, Screen, Overlay and Luminosity blending.....
However when there is a white or black background though you can blend them you can not add a style like a drop shadow, emboss or make it invisible setting fill to 0 so only the style is visible. When there is contrast between the logo and background it is easy to separate the two. To select the background and delet it to have the logo with a transparent background. Many tools can be used to create the selection hee I use my action kill white.
Vector Shape would work better for scaling However it would be best to create the logo from scratch in a vector program like illustrator but I never had the resources to justify the Creative suite. I only had Photoshop. Recently Adobe gave me and other a year subscription to the creative suite for our participation here. I still have not installed anything but Photoshop, A while back I found a program that can create vector patf for black and white art work. It will not be as good as using something like illustrator. However vector paths can be edited in Photoshop and cleaned up some. Here is the PSD it 13MB because od the gradient http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/AmPm24-7.psd

Need Help Removing XML Photo Gallery on Button Click

Hi, I'm new to flash so this might seem like a dumb question, but I'm right in the middle of designing a photography site and need some help. I have 4 buttons in my timeline that go to the corresponding frame labels when clicked, above each frame label is a keyframe with actionscript applied to it, that will load an external XML photo gallery. I need the current photo gallery that's on the screen to disappear when I click on a new button to load the new XML photo gallery. this is the code that will be above each frame label with a few changes, then below this is the code for my buttons. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you Code: Select all var imageX:XML; var imageList:XMLList; var canvas:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var picLoader:Loader; addChild(canvas); canvas.x = -155; canvas.y = 160; var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("gallery.xml"); var imageLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); imageLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete); imageLoader.load(req); function onComplete(e:Event):void { imageX = new XML(imageLoader.data); imageList = imageX.image; picLoader = new Loader(); picLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event .COMPLETE, imageLoaded); picLoader.load(new URLRequest (imageList[0].url)); } function imageLoaded(e:Event):void { canvas.addChild(picLoader); } Code for the buttons in different keyframe.

Need for locking system for delta initialization (BW-R3-LO)

Hello all,
Could someone please help me with the following,
Please be kind, don't get impatient for the lengthy post
1. Do we need to lock the system (or posting-free the system) to do early delta initialization or not? If yes, please explain me how that work?
2. Someone somewhere mentioned that early delta initialization is not preferable compared to normal delta initialization, even though early delta initialization is advantageous. Why is that so?
3. Imagine, while scheduling Queued Delta Init or un-serialized V3 delta Init, if I choose certain end date and time (say, 10pm, 12-31-2007) for the records, then all the records till that point would be loaded to setup tables and all the records after that point of time will be moved to extraction queue or update tables. My question is, if this is true why would we ever need to lock the system during setup tables filling?
    If you say the records after that particular time and date (10pm, 12-31-2007) will not be collected in extraction queue and update tables, why don't we do the following
             a). say, I do full load with end date and time (10pm 12-31-2007)
             b). Next, I do delta init with start date and time (10pm 12-31-2007) (this time I lock the postings)
         If we do this way, we can actually reduce the down time of the system. Is my conclusion right?
         If you say it's not practicable as some transactions' saving time differs from time stamp and some transactions' delta is even measured by pointer.......if this is the case we can use Delta offset. What do you say about this?
4. How this scenario differs to early delta initialization?
Your responses would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

No,you don't need to lock the Source System which is the advantage of Early Delta Init.
With early delta initialization, you have the option of writing the data into the delta queue or into the delta tables for the application during the initialization request in the source system. This means that you are able to execute the initialization of the delta process (the init request), without having to stop the posting of data in the source system. The option of executing an early delta initialization is only available if the DataSource extractor called in the source system with this data request supports this.

Early delta is not supported by all the extractors. See Lo Extraction

This is applicable to Generic Delta where you can set the Safety Interval (Upper Limit and lower Limit) for the extractor based on ALE Pointer, or Time Stamp or Calendar day.
If you excute a extractor with early delta init, during the setup table fill, the delta records will be directly written to the delta queue. The delta management handles these functionality.

If you do a Init without Early Delta init, then the user cannot post new documents and you have to either schedule in the weekend or request for a Source System downtime.
But if you use Early delta , then you don't need the source system down time and the user can post new records during the init, which will be written to the delta queue directly.
