Photoshop button links- help!

I created several different photoshop buttons that link to different pages in my website. I had never had an issue with them until I started moving the physical location of the buttons around on the page. In preview mode, all links work perfectly. However when I publish my work, the buttons are linked to all the wrong pages (they usually link to the page that used to be in that physical location).
However I've double checked and they are all linked properly. I have no idea what is wrong.
Here is my site. if you click on the buttons in the bottom row you will see what I mean.

Dreamweaver simpleviewer multiple galleries button links help

I am trying to do this:
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/examples/multiple_galleries/gallery1/index .html
and here is another good example
http://www.designhousestudios.co.uk/sampleportfoliogallery/sampleportfolio.html
on my page here:
http://peachtree-designs.com/
This seems to be the code that pertains to the different slideshows (this is from the example webpage of how I want it to be):
<div id="header" >
<a href = "../gallery1/index.html">Gallery 1</a> | <a href = "../gallery2/index.html">Gallery 2</a>
</div>
<div id="flashcontent">SimpleViewer requires JavaScript and the Flash Player. <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/">Get Flash.</a></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
The "Simple" Viewer slideshow gives instructions on how to simply embed and I have done that successfully, a link is here in case you want to check it out:
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/examples/embedded/
I have this working fine but would like to embed several galleries. The instruction page of "simple"viewer says to create multiple galleries you just need to:
" ...To create multiple SimpleViewer galleries, make a copy of the whole SimpleViewer gallery folder for each gallery. Create your individual galleries as normal. You can now create a menu page that links to the index.html page in each sub-folder. Here is an example that contains a menu to navigate between 2 SimpleViewer galleries."
My confusion lies in what the heck a menu page is. I have ignored this all together and tried looking at the code from pages that give examples. especially the page that gives a download of html.
But I don't understand how to link the buttons in Dreamweaver to create different slideshows. I've put the four slideshow folders (print, illustration, logo, design) into my main HTML page. I assume the solution is to put the code mentioned above in for each slideshow/gallery .. reference each gallery by my folders names but then somehow make the DW buttons link to those folders.
I'll keep poking around at this and see if I can figure it out, but any input, advice or help would be SO very appreciated. If you would speak in laymans terms I'd appreciate it, I know flash well but am new to dreamweaver and not very good at codeing though I manage.
Thanks so much in advance, sorry this is so long winded.

I'm actually still having a problem with the individual galleries linking to the swf. Here's an explination and I'm attaching a snapshot of the file folder structure and the html's:
Thanks for responding :) I feel like I'm almost there, been struggling with this for a week.
my site is here:
http://peachtree-designs.com/web.html
I am going with a different approach, instead of trying to link the graphics from within each gallery folder I am instead placing each gallery html outside the individual gallery folders in my root folder ... then trying to link the main html page to each html gallery file, and have each gallery file link/see the swf galleries within the folders.
I have made separate gallery folders for each gallery, print, logo ect is in it's separate folder in the root folder of my website.
In the main root folder I have the index.html *plus* I've put each galleries html file *outside* it's folder but directly in the root folder, so the main html webpage file can link (with the buttons) to each gallery html in the root folder.
Problem is getting the galleries html's to connect/link to the swf gallery in each gallery folder (within the root folder) (I'd put the html's directly in it's gallery folder but then the graphics links break). "gallery not found" is what I get and I'm not sure how to do this. In the code of each gallery html is this:
<td valign="top"><script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new SWFObject("illustrations/viewer.swf", "viewer", "500", "500", "8", "#c5bdb2");
fo.write("flashcontent");
</script></td>
so the gallery html's in the root folder *should* be directed to each swf in it's gallery folder: illustrations/viewer.swf .. print/viewer.swf ... etc ... but it's not working.
I'm going to try to just attach my whole site in case someone can take a look and tell me what's wrong. It's large but I'm desperate and it's hard to explain.

HELP: Photoshop Button Hover Rollover State Flickers (jumps) Upon First Preview

All photoshop buttons flicker (jump abruptly) before the rollover state is displayed in preview mode and in browser for the 1st time. After that the behavior is normal. The rollover and hover image displays without a flicker. Why all the graphics not preloaded to prevent this mega-annoying issue? Is there a work around?
I tried INSERT HTML option as an alternative to photoshop buttons using the following code, since it works flawlessly on other web building programs, but it doesn't even work in Adobe Muse. I am stock and don't know how to work around this issue.
<a href='Destination URL' target="_top" onmouseover="document.sub_but.src='http://yourdomain.com/onroll.jpg'" onmouseout="document.sub_but.src='http://yourdomain.com/normal.jpg'">
<img src="http://yourdomain.com/normal.jpg" width="281" height="55" border="0" alt="Move your mouse over me" name="sub_but">
</a>
I love the convenience of photoshop button but the results are truely unprofessional on first loading. Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a URL to a site using Photoshop buttons placed in Muse? My guess is that the images are very large and taking some time to load initially.

http://www.pcccomputer.com/hold/Web%20pages/Page30.html
Can some one give me a cule where I messed up and how to fix it.
Thank you so much.

You have a few things going on that aren't helping. When you code buttons the way you have, you have to put the code on the timeline and give the buttons the instance name you use in that code. You also have to assign the code to the instance that is going to use it.
You have one such piece of code on the timeline, which would be correct except I believe the button it belongs to doesn't exist yet (it's somewhere down the timeline), and it needs to be in the presence of that code for that code to do anything.
The other similar version of that code you do not have on the timeline, but have it attached to the button instead, which will not work. And again, it is most likely not where it needs to be because that instance is not the instance that exists when the menu is finished setting up... that instance is at the beginning of a transition to the real instance that the code should be assigned to.
Try assigning all your buttons instance names, at every keyframe. Then create an actions layer for your code and use it for the code. And place all the button code in the last frame of the layer so that the butons have it assigned to them where it counts... when they are present and ready to be used.

How do I import a Photoshop button (including it's different states) into the muse menu widget?

I had the idea of using the "place Photoshop button" option to configure the states in my horizontal menu bar in Muse. I started out trying to use the widget, after playing with the options it seems I can either load each individual state one at a time in manual mode or I can try to make a menu bar from the buttons and manually place the respective links. I would be grateful for a suggestion or alternative method that is as easy as the "place Photoshop button" option, I love that feature. Thanks in advance.
J
UPDATE: I found that I could use Fill image then in import fill options, import layer + clip layer contents for each of the states. It was working very well but I noticed an error in one of my buttons states so I had to go back to Photoshop. When I returned to start this process again and I clicked import layer, the states are all flat plain text without any of the blending options I had set for each state. The odd part is that I can see all the layers in composite, but it will not let me place each layer as it did before.
After several frustrating hours going through every step I edited and even trying to load the buttons I thought were exactly the same file I used before I could not find what I had done differently to cause this. I did successfully place each Photoshop button in empty space and the cut and paste them into the menu. Which is way easier then the original method. I would like to know if anyone has an idea what went wrong for the sake of knowledge. Also thought that this cut paste method might help others trying to build menu buttons outside of Muse.

I'm afraid Photoshop is a graphics program ill suited for generating good HTML and CSS code. Use Photoshop to create your images only. Use DW to build your HTML, CSS and menus.

Photoshop Button in Active State Returns to Normal After Rollover?

Hello,
I'm working on a glossary reference website in Muse, and have hit a roadblock with my photoshop buttons.
I have created menu buttons in Photoshop that have two different states - one for active and rollover, and another for normal and down (the button is actually saved with four different layers/states, one for each, but for what the user will see, it's really only two options). I've used these menu buttons as rollover triggers for blank compositions, and when the user rolls over the button, the name of the page appears below it, and then disappears on rollout (otherwise the names would overlap and it would look very cluttered).
The issue that I have found is that, when I preview the page in my browser, the buttons appear to function properly in that they show up in the active state indicating that the page that they are linked to is the one that they are on.
Initial View - Home Page:
...and when I rollover the image of the page that I am currently on, the button shows the name of the page as desired, like so:
However, when I rollout, the button reverts back to the normal/down state, even though I am still on the home page.
Below is a screenshot of the composition settings that I have set up for this widget. I tried switching the "Hide Target" to none, but since the target is referring to the word "Home", the word "Home" remained visible in addition to the button remaining in the active state, which is not what I want. I also tried selecting "Triggers on Top", but the issue was not solved here either.
What am I missing? How can I make sure that my button remains in the active state when on the page that it is linked to?
Thanks for your help!
Rachel

Sounds like a bug that's the fallout of the overloaded meaning of "Active" state. "Active" is both the state used for an item with a hyperlink applied that points to the current page (or an anchor point in the current scroll range on the current page) and the state used for a trigger or thumbnail in a Composition or Slideshow widget that corresponds to the a current active item in the composition or slideshow.
It appears we honor the hyperlink definition of "Active" on page load for a composition trigger with a hyperlink to the current page applied, but don't honor that definition of active when transition to having no items in the composition active (or presumable when transition to having a different item in the composition active).
The only workaround that comes to mind would be the very tedious approach of replicating this composition widget on each page, removing the hyperlink on the "active" trigger and manually formatting it's "Normal" state to appear active.
I've written up the bug. However, it may not get fixed immediately. (We tend to collect smaller fixes in an area and then address them all at once or when other changes are planned in that area, due to the overhead involved in ramping up to work on an area and thoroughly retest it after changes.)

Can a Photoshop button be used as a Lightbox trigger?

I've brought in a layered PSD file as a button with different states, but instead of the button linking to another page or similar, I'd like it to trigger a lightbox image that triggers a different hero image. Or, thinking about it in another way, can a lightbox thumbnail be replaced with not only a different image than the hero, but also has normal, rollover and down states?
Is this possible?

Hello,
You can achieve this by using the Lighbox widget under "Compositions" option in widget.
First indert the Lighbox widget (from Compositions catagory in Widgets)
To insert the Photoshop button, Go to File>Place Photoshot button.
Select the PSD file and place it on the page.
Now click on the Photoshop button on the page and drag and drop it inside the Trigger of the Widget (Make sure the mouse pointer is inside the trigger and then release the mouse click to make sure it gets placed inside the trigger).
And you can add a different image/content for target container as well.
One quick tip : Click on "Hide all initially" option in Lightox widget properties (Which comes up when you click on small white arrow in blue circle when any Widget item is selected) to make sure all the states/layers of the button works.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sachin

Photoshop Button Error

Hi,
I have a few buttons I created in Photoshop with two states. I placed one on the homepage without a problem. When I go to place another button on the homepage, I get this error:
"Button Sample 2.PSD cannot be used to replace the existing page item. Please relink to a different file or place this file separately."
Nothing is highlighted or selected when I am trying to place this second button.
Please help.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have tried to replicate the issue at my end and I'm able to add multiple photoshop buttons to the Muse pages.
To further investigate I'll need to look at your file and buttons, Please send your .muse file with the buttons you are placing and a link to this forum topic to my attention to [email protected] If your .muse file is larger than 20MB use a filesharing service like SendThisFile or Adobe SendNow.

Photoshop button editing

I had a photoshop button that just showed a new layer when you rollover. I added a new layer and made a few adjustments to the original image and went back into Muse, but can't find a way to edit the rollover states AFTER editing in photoshop. I go to the regular states window, but there's no way to choose which layers to show. I would have to import the button again, choose my state options, and relink all my hyperlinks. Am I missing something?

You can go to the Assets panel where you can right-click and relink the image for the changed state with the updated PSD file. Upon relinking, you will be prompted to choose the layer you want to link to where you can specify the layer you want to specify.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Vikas

Can there be buttons/links on or in flash object?

Hi, I have no idea how to ask this question properly. I am only designing this, not making it, so simple answers for me would be good, but also technical answers that I can pass on to the flash person.
On my home page, I am going to have 3 images that switch out, each that need to have a "learn more >" link and a 1, 2, 3, and pause buttons.
My question is whether or not these image buttons/links can be placed on or embedded in the flash object. I read this is not possible and that buttons or links have to be separate from flash. Ideally if I wanted to place a "go" button on top of my flash image, that would be great.
However I have been told the only option is to make one side of this in photoshop where I have the buttons and then place that next to the flash image. My example of this would be the msn.com home page.
If further descriptions are needed I can post an example.

Your image hasn't loaded yet, so I'll describe what you should do. Chances are you will only need one set of buttons to manage everything rather than creating a set for each image.
If you want to convert each of these items into usable buttons, then select one of them, being sure that all its pieces are selected, then right click on it and select Convert to Symbol ( select it and in the toolbar choose Modify -> Convert to Symbol).
In the interface that appears, select Button (you could also select MovieClip, but for now, select Button) and give it a name that relates to its functionality in some way, just so it is recognizable by its name in the library. Click OK.
Do that for all of the items you want to turn into buttons. To make things easier to manage, you should place the buttons on their own layer in the timeline.
If you are handing this over to someone who knows Flash, they should be able to deal with coding the buttons to function the way you want.

How can I set a button/link that is visible on all slides?

I want to add a button/link that is automatically visible on all slides (whole project). But it seems it does not work. Any help?

Hello,
It depends on your version. I hope you are on CP6 or later. In that case you have two possiblities:
a shape button on the main master slide (and be sure that all daughter master slides have the objects of the main master slide)
a shape button on the first slide, timed for the rest of the project.
