Playback Buttons and Thumbnails
Hello Everyone and thanks fo ryour help in advance. I am completely new to Flash and am just trying to get some of the basics correct. I would like to create a Flash movie. At the heart of my question is how to create a preview type of display on a web page that has a "Click to Play" button or arrow that is commonly seen onmost types of website displaying videos. Also, there seems to be a lot written about other custom types of players. I'm not sure what the benefits are to this or the different features these afford instead of using a standard embedded object. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Use this to remove video when finished:
sym.$("Subdivision_-_20_sec_1")[0].onended = function() {
sym.$("Subdivision_-_20_sec_1").css({display: "none"});
hth,
Vivekuma

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny in Firefox? I tried some suggestions that dealt with entering "about:config" in a fresh browser, but to no avail. I also downloaded an add-on called "Theme Font & Size Changer", but that didn't work either. So, I am reaching out here as that was a suggestion that another user here offered.
Ah, yes- that is an ultra high DPI (dots per inch) display. This is a known issue in Flash Player, which Adobe is working on fixing.
In the mean time, you can get some videos to have normal-sized controls by switching Youtube to the HTML5 video player:
In Firefox, go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and click the "Request the HTML5 player" button. -

Is there a way to make rotated Buttons and ones that overlap??
currently, im working on a dvd menu, and i want it to look like a stack of Polaroids,
so i made the menu in photoshop with all the codes, like (+)(%) ect.
though now i want the buttons to be overlapping and all tilted to a random direction,
like a real stack of polaroids, i've tried making a "straight" menu and then rotating the buttons, but it didn't work.
is there a way that you can rotate buttons and have the thumbnail footage also be rotated?
and is it possible to have buttons that overlap at some point?
(note that i want the Animated thumbnails)
here's a random example picture i found online
though i know it might be possible by making them all by manually in AfterEffects,
by using the original footage with lots of masks to make thumbnail movies,
but im not looking for such a tedious job, also im not very skilled in AfterEffectsIn DVD-Video, buttons cannot overlap, and their hit area will always be a rectangle...even if the contents of the button are rotated, it will result only in the rectangle becoming larger, to fit the rotated graphics.
Regarding button thumbnail layers, they show similar behavior - they will always render out as a rectangle.
If you don't use thumbnail layers (try a replacement layer), you should be able to rotate the button without the replacement layer getting re-adjusted. But note replacement layers don't accept video. If you want video in the buttons, you'll have to do all the work in After Effects.
But remember - your buttons cannot overlap without introducing button highlighting problems.
A better solution is to not make these buttons at all, but a regular menu layer or video background layer. And then you can create custom highlight layers in Photoshop, again making sure your buttons don't overlap. This would be a lot of work. -
Gallery with Paypal buttons and drop-downs on the index page?
I'm looking for a LR gallery where I can have thumbnails with Paypal buttons and drop-downs on the index page.
I would prefer to keep my galleries interface streamlined and don't want to clutter it up with dropdowns and cart. I would like to have 1 page for ordering that has all my images as thumbnails with drop downs for price and size, rather than right-clicking on and image which opens in another page like the LRG Gallery with Paypal.
I don't have a lot of experience messing with code, and none with .js. I did make a drop down in Paypal and have the code, but I think things would be pretty unwield it I designed a page as a table like I would in MS Word.
I'm familiar with LRG Complete gallery, but don't see that it has the ability to not require a right click to order.
I don't have a lot of experience messing with code, and none with .js. I did make a drop down in Paypal and have the code, but I think things would be pretty unwield it I designed a page as a table like I would in MS Word.

Thanks,
ReidMaybe some could try this out, and has experienced the same problem.
It is on the site http://www.fonetix.biz
and then push the German flag in the top Right corner, and further click on the Button "Contact info". It will give the eroor. -

Scroll bar, buttons and a Custom Component - help
Thanks to another forum I was able to create a scroll panel and add a scroll bar to it. That works fine. Inside the scroll panel I have thumbnails of the product that I'm highlighting. I want to be able to click on the thumbnail and have a full size photo of the product come up in the window next to the scroll panel. I created a custom component that has a stage showing each full size product individually. This worked fine when I simply had buttons and no scroll bar. I could convert the thumbnail to a button and then add interaction so that it would go to the proper state of the custom component. Where I'm having problems is now that I've imbedded the buttons in a scroll panel I'm no longer given the custom component as an option to pick from. I can add interaction, but it only gives me the option of picking one of the pages, and not a component.
I've attached a screen grab to help show what I'm describing.
Any ideas?
DougDoug, thanks for asking this question.
Hi ADAM...
It seems that a lot of us are asking the same question: Scrollbar Navigation-Make Actionable
(I created a low-fidelity proof-of-concept to test—using a datalist as you suggested. See link in my posting).
I have reviewed the video you refer to here, but you example still does not allow for individual items in the datalist (scrollbar) to be assigned individual actionable events.
Can you expain your thinking in Option 1, as a workaround? Do you have any other suggestions?
BOTTOM LINE
We are all looking to do the same thing... something we are going to see A LOT MORE of after Uncle Steve's TABLET presentation next week:
A scrolling menu, with selected items in the menu causing "navigation" to a certain point in a scroll panel. (imitating the flick or slide effect of iPhone).
Suggestion: Can you add a field to thedatalist so that when the "repeated item" (in edit mode) is configuredto do an action (i.e., On-Click, Transition to State), we can then assign the state you'd like for each item in thetable itself?
Now the issue is making it change the "State" within another component (i.e. scrolling panel). Can that be done?
Thanks,

I am looking to find a way to change the order of the
playback button so I can customize the look of the playback. Do
anyone know of a way to do that. i am able to change to the look of
the buttons but not the order.Hi Michael,
What you want - specifically - cannot be done within
Captivate. obviously, you have found the
Project > Skin dialog at which you can select which
buttons you wish to display on the playback control. And you know
that in the same dialog, you can change the playback control style
and colors.
The one thing you cannot do is what you are asking to do. The
order of the buttons on the playbar cannot be changed without
altering the SWF for the playback control itself in Flash. That
does not mean it cannot be done, only that you will have to do it
as a Flash project, and to my knowledge, there is no playbar FLA*
(*Flash source file) included in Captivate.
EDIT:
I stand corrected about the lack of a FLA. See the posts above
for the location on your Windows system install. Sorry I missed
that earlier.
If you
are comfortable in the Flash environment, give it a shot,
and place your resulting SWF file in the \\Adobe Captivate 3\
Gallery\ PlaybackControls\ SWFbars\ folder to access it from within
Captivate. If you are
not comfortable in creating Flash objects, you will have to
pay someone who is, to create the playbar for you.
To get you started, I recommend you check out the work of
Paul Dewhurst, a Captivate Community Expert who does do some custom
work for others, and also generously makes some of his work
available free on his Captivate widgets web-site ... located
this link right here
and named "Raising Aimee" after his daughter. You might also
want to check out the stuff available on the Captivate Exchange
located
at this link
Good luck!

Playback buttons for flash movie
Hello, im having some difficulty adding a play, pause and
stop button to a movie I imported into flash.
The movie was imported using the import wizard in flash 8. I
did not add a skin because when I tried adding it , the skin would
not show through once I imported the finished swf file in
Trainersoft. ONly the movie would come through. So, then I decided
to add my own playback buttons to the movie. I imported the movie
again using the import wizard, i did not select a skin. The movie
was imported fine into flash. I added a play, pause and stop
buttons as new symbols each in their own layer. I added the correct
action scripting to the buttons, i preview movie and the buttons
appear correctly but nothing happens when I click each of the
buttons, the movie keeps playing without reacting to me clicking on
either the pause or stop button, or the play button.
Here is thte scripting im using.
For Play: on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
play();
For Pause:
on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
stop();
For Stop
on (release) {
" Movie".gotoAndStop (1) ;
I would love to hear from someone to help me out. Thank
you!!First, create your play button. Click on it, and open up the
Properties Panel (Shift + F3). Type in:
play_btn for the <Instance Name>.
Then, create a new Layer in your Flash file, called Actions.
Click on the first frame of the Actions layer, and open up the
Actions panel (F9).
Type in:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function(){
play();
} -
So the playback button is not working and the only time it starts working is after an update.
What is wrong with it and how can I fix it?Welcome to our community, Angie
It probably has to do with exactly how the Captivate content
is being viewed. For example, the button may not work for you if
you are simply running the project from Preview mode in the
browser. But if you are running from a link that opens a new
window, it may close without issue.
The bottom line here is that you probably need to investigate
and compare exactly how you are opening or launching the Captivate.
Cheers... Rick -
EncoderServer and Thumbnail server not responding
I have a new MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo) that I've had for about a month that has the iLife '08 suite.
My problem is that when I run the iDVD program the EncoderServer and Thumbnail server are not responding. iDVD is not operating slow or any other problems as I've read others are having problems with.
When I go to 'burn DVD' all goes well until it comes time to burn the DVD. Now, the actual DVD is a double later at best quality and I am not trying to multitask when it trying to burn. (I have heard that when you use best quality you can't multitask with iDVD)
I have repaired my permissions, no soap. And since iDVD came preinstalled I have not tried uninstallingreinsalling and the truth is, according to the other article in this forum, by the same title, that would not do any good anyway.
I am a computer professional, but fairly new to the Mac world.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Hi Sue, tx for a quick post-
I don't get as far as burning- an 'unknown error' during encoding occurs. The only identifiable bug is the freezing of two processes that start with iDVD (they DIDN'T two weeks ago) the abovenamed serverzz.
Also- Apple says,
"You should always burn double-layer discs directly from iDVD and not from a disc image. Double-layer discs burned from a disc image may cause playback issues in some DVD players, such as freezing during playback." This pops up when trying to do an img save with DualLayer, and appears in the online advice.
So I'm trying with all non-Apple 'extensions off' (forced quit thru Act Monitor) even tho the only change is the latest Appl updates.
It just QUIT! Right before switching to encode video! Two hours of menu/slideshow encode and it doesn't save any!! -
BUtton VIdeo Thumbnail Animation
Umm how can I have a button in Encore to do one of the most important ideal feature such as:
I want a button that links to a chapter in my main movie sequence. However, I want the button video thumbnail to show a preview of another sequence (another small clip) and not the same damn video that the button is linked too. I just want the video thumbnail to play a 5 sec other clip that I created instead of the the begining of the sequience encore chapter mark it is linked tooo. This should be pretty simple but I cant find the feature? I was under the impression that encore can do this???
If not, adobe fails major since a lot cheaper software out there can do more complex things.For example, many people would want their ceremony button to start a few seconds before the ceremony starting (titles, blank screen, then ceremony), while the video thumbnail in the menu plays some clip for example, bride walking down the isle.
The bride walking down the aisle is part of the ceremony video being linked to, right? Well, not if your clips brought into Encore are all separate timelines. But if it is, there is no problem; Encore does that fine. Select chapter 1 of the ceremony timeline, set the poster frame to the "walk down aisle" - Encore creates the thumbnail video there.
I do not think that many people would want the thumbnail to be something that is not in the video they are going to watch.
But I agree that it would be nice to add other content into the thumbnail. You might want to submit a feature request. It should not be too hard to select an asset for the thumbnail. But AE or Premiere for such a background is pretty quick.
Remember that much of Encore is not Adobe (it was licensed from Sonic), and Encore is not available as a separate purchase; it is an extension of Premiere. -
How to use one pop up window for multiple buttons and input fields?
Hi Experts,
I have created a pop up window that will be opened from multiple buttons in the same view. There are input fields that the data will be populated from a pop up window. How can I set up which button that a pop up window is opened from? I also would like to populate the data from a pop up window to the input field next to a clicked button. There are 6 buttons and 6 input fields that share the same pop up window. I would very appreciate your responses.
Thank you,
DonHi,
Try creating 2 context attributes, one in your component controller and the other in the pop-up view. Bind the attribute of pop-up view to the component controller attribute.
In the main view, on click of every button set a unique code in the controller's context which helps you in identifying the button clicked. Since u have created a binding to the pop-up view attribute the value flows from the controller.
In the init method of your pop-up view, check the value of the attribute and based on that display which ever UI elements are required.
Eg:
On Button 1 click set value "B1", Button 2 value "B2" etc. In the init() of pop-up view u can check the values and perform the required operation:
if(("B1").wdContext().currentContextElement().getButtonIdentifier()){
else...{
Hope this helps you.

Photoshop Elements 12
Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Error Code: c0000005
Address: 75e32f71
I clicked on the OK button and the downloader closed.
I did a search on this error code (c0000005) and there seems to be a workaround but no solutions, why is this? I ask that because this problem seems to be years and years old, going back to at least 2005 (do the math that is 10 years).
I don't even have the Camera hooked up and I get this error on download. I redownloaded everything and reinstalled. I allso saw the AVI issues reported with this proble so i updated Quicktime though without the camera being hooked up when I get this error I didn't expect that to work. I tried support and they wouldn't help because I bought it in March this year. Pretty frustrating as I have re-purchased Elements about every 2 years. I think I might need a new CODEC? I had this problem on an Earlier version And I seem to remember that being the Fix but this may be something completely differentI finally found that it was missing a picture so the Catalog was "corrupted". I just deleted the picture and it started working.
I hate Adobe and their total lack of support - thanks for nothing Adobe . Also get this - they offered me to upgrade to 13.0 ( My 12.0 is only 6 months old but they still don't support it on errors. Only install errors!
I have upgrade and repurchase this product 4 times now. I will find something else next time! -
