Overlap Buttons? Can you select 2 objects with one click?

Hi I am trying to create a menu of a map for a client. They would like a text list of cities down one side and also dots over each city on the map.
I have set the highlite groups to change the colour of the text but I would like to also set the menu so that when selecting the city in the the text area the coresponding dot over the city changes as well?
As the cities are all ove the place and some quite close together i keep getting the buttons overlapping. Ive tried merging the layers so text and dot are together but it keeps overlapping and im not sure how, if i can, get it working?

Thanks in advance

Hi Dave,
The only way to do this with Encore that I know is to use a series of duplicate menus and the auto-activate feature.
So when the audience navigates to a particular city's text, the auto-activate feature automatically executes a link to an exact duplicate of the menu they were just navigating, and displays the highlighted city text and a highlighted city dot. The dot won't actually be part of the button on the new menu, but it will look like it is.
This technique involves careful pre-planning and a lot of linking work. It is easy to get lost in the links if you don't have a proper flowchart drawn on paper and if you don't use good menu-naming conventions.

  • On a Mac, can you navigate menus with one handed key strokes like Windows?

    On a Mac, is there anyway to navigate menus with one handed keyboard strokes like you can in Windows? My girlfriend is a graphic designer and switched from Windows to Mac. She misses being able to use the Alt key and make menu selections. On Windows she can press "Alt" and then move through menus and submenus with one hand on the keyboard. When you press "Alt" the first letter of every menu is highlighted. When she presses a certain letter the menu drops down, and the first letter of every submenu is then highlighted. She can then navigate through all the submenus until she hits the selection she wants, all using the left hand on the keyboard. It's very fast and efficient. Can you do something similar to this on a Mac?
    The reason she wants to do this is because when she is in Photoshop, she likes to use her right hand on the mouse with the cursor inside the canvas (sketching, moving layers around) while she makes menu commands with the left hand. It is 10 times faster this way than using the mouse for everything. Hot keys are not the same because you must have those memorized. With the "Alt" key function, you can open a drop down menu, see the choices, and make your selection.
    I have been a Mac person my whole life, and I have to say, it's a pretty awesome function. I really want the Mac to have something similar.

    [Actual studies|http://www.asktog.com/TOI/toi06KeyboardVMouse1.html] have found it is faster to use the mouse to make command activations than using keyboard shortcuts.
    The 20-year-old argument on that web page isn't very convincing. Keyboard shortcuts are certainly faster for experience power users who do the same thing every day. The mouse is faster only for new users or users doing non-repetitive commands every day.
    It is interesting that one of the posts on that page said this:
    I remember one mainframe company in the sixties that came up with the following command-key guidelines:
    Use the first letter of the command word
    If the first letter is already used, use the last letter
    If the last letter is already used, use the second letter
    If the second letter is already used, use the second-to-the-last letter
    etc.
    This is actually very similar to how the keyboard-driven menus work in Mac OS X. The advantage over the Windows method is that when there is more than one command in a menu that shares the same first letter, you do not have to memorize which command uses which letter. You just type ahead until the correct command is selected.
    I would, however, encourage Derek Doublin1's girlfriend to learn the direct keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop. On Mac or PC, for me pressing Command-Option-I is much faster than either the mouse or using the keyboard to drop the Image menu and walk down to the Image Size command.

  • Why the emails in ios cannot be select all with one click?? i have to select one each time to can delete all...i need so much one button "mark all emails" in the mail of ios on my iPhone)

    hello, all...
    Please somebody know one way to select all emails in one touch in ios on iphone.
    In brazil, were i live, nobody have this answer.
    Thanks a lot.
    Paula

    This does not answer/solve the OP's question/problem as they would still have to select each email individually before selecting the "delete all" button. In the end this the same as selecting "delete" on each message individiually.
    There is no practical way to do what the OP wants.

  • Can you select more than one partition at the same time?

    Thank you in advance.
    What is the SQL*Plus syntax to select multiple partitions from a partitioned table?
    Example: select tran_date from transaction_table (partition1, partition2, partition3);

    I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
    There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
    So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

  • Smart mail box can't select messages with one or another e-mail addresses

    I am creating smart mail box trying to collect there emails with two different email address
    I select following options:
    Contains messages that match ANY of the following conditions:
    Entire message contains email address N1
    Entire message contains email address N2
    It returns not a single message. It looks to me that because I select ANY it should pull in all messages with email address N1 OR email address N2.
    What do I do wrong?

    Hi JB.
    If Connection Doctor cannot establish a reliable connection with the SMTP server, this is clearly a connection problem, and there is little you can do in Mail to fix it other than making sure your settings are what the server expects.

  • How many times can you install Reflow with one account?

    I installed Reflow at my job's computer because its free on Preview mode, but then I stupidly realized that Adobe might not permit multiple installs of the same program from the same account in another computer? I want to install Reflow at home as well using the same account. Will Adobe block me from doing this?

    There should be no problem installing Reflow on both computers using the same Adobe Creative Cloud account.

  • Healing brush can't select  area with option-click

    Here is another weird thing with CS5.  The healing brush won't option click to select an area to use for the healing.  Instead it insists on imposing a pattern on the area to be healed. I do not know where the pattern came from or how to get rid of it,  And I would love to be able to option click to define the area I want to use for healing.  What is going on here?

    found my own problem.  I selected a pattern as my source.  Silly of me.

  • Can you giv me a brief introduction regarding selection screen with one eg:

    Hello
    can you giv me a brief introduction regarding selection screen with one eg:

    Hi Ranjith,
    Selection Screens
    Selection screens are one of the three types of screen in the R/3 System, along with dialog screens and lists. You use them whenever you want the user to enter either a single value for a field or fields, or to enter selection criteria.
    Function
    ABAP programs use screens to obtain input from users. The most general type of screen is a dialog screen, which you create using the ABAP Workbench tools Screen Painter and Menu Painter These tools allow you to create screens for data input and output. However, each of these screens requires its own flow logic.
    Defining and Calling Selection Screens
    You often use screens purely for data input . In these cases, you can use a selection screen. Selection screens provide a standardized user interface in the R/3 System.  Users can enter both single values and complex selections.  Input parameters are primarily used to control the program flow, while users can enter selection criteria to restrict the amount of data read from the database. You can create and save predefined sets of input values in the ABAP Editor for any selection screen. These are called variants.  Texts on the selection screen are stored as language-specific selection texts in the program text elements.  If you start an executable report using the SUBMIT statement, the input fields of the selection screen also serve as a data interface.
    Defining and Calling Selection Screens
    You define selection screens using ABAP statements in a program.  Simple statements allow you to create input fields, checkboxes, and radio buttons, and design the screen layout.  If you want to create a screen exclusively for data input, you do not need to create it using the normal dialog programming tools. When you create a selection screen, the system automatically assumes the tasks of the Screen Painter and Menu Painter.
    The rules for calling and defining selection screens in ABAP programs depend on the program type:
    ·         Executable program (type 1) without logical database
    You can use a single standard selection screen and as many user-defined selection screens as you wish. The standard selection screen is called automatically when you start the program.  User-defined selection screens, on the other hand, are called using the CALL SELECTION-SCREEN statement in a program.  The standard selection screen always has the screen number 1000. User-defined selection screens can have any screen number except 1000.
    ·         Executable program (type 1) with logical database
    The standard selection screen for an executable program linked to a logical database is made up of the logical database selections and the program selections.
    ·         Module pools (type M) and function modules (type F)
    You can only use user-defined selection screens in module pools and function modules. These can have any number apart from 1000. You can only call a selection screen from a function module using the CALL SELECTION-SCREEN statement. You can also define selection screens as Subscreens and incorporate them in screens or tabstrip controls.
    Hope this is useful.
    regards
    Ram

  • Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

    Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

    Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there.  For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color.  For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
    What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted.  Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something.  You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

  • Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing, Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing

    Can you have more than one itunes account at one time with apple tv

    My understanding is that the home sharing is based off of being on the same Wifi.  So if someone brings their laptop to your house and connects to your Wifi and they have home sharing on they can connect so you can see his/her iTunes library on your iTunes. 
    I haven't tried this though.  We have two laptops at home, both using my iTunes account and I can see each other's iTunes library, which I'm guessing is what you're probably doing now.  I'd be interested to know if my thought above is true.

    When taking a picture with home and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar?? (the search bars)

    No, but you can use any picture editing tool to crop out the bars.  (Many are free in the App Store.)  Me personally, I use PhotoPad, which I use to crop as well as rotate the screen shot.  Takes less than a minute to do both with PhotoPad.
