Problem with Button in Learning Interaction

I have created a Flash file with 4 "Fill in the Blank" questions (from the Learning Interactions continued within Flash CS3) at the end. I'm then using the swf file in two different ways. One way simply loads the swf file onto a 'stand-alone' page on my website and it works perfectly.
The other way I want to use it is integrated into a more complicated website where I have a Flash File into which various swf files are loaded when needed. In this version the "Control Button" doesn't change to "Check Answer" and "Reset" as it should and the whole question doesn't work.
The working version is at http://web.me.com/ginneswatsonkelso/New_Chemical_Resources/Name_Isomers_Alkanes.html
Select "4 For You to Try" to go directly to Quiz Questions.
The non-working version is at http://web.me.com/ginneswatsonkelso/New_Reaction_Pathways/New_Reaction_Pathways.html
Go to "Extras" in Menu and select Naming Alkane Isomers, then "4 For You to Try" again.
I'm using ActionScript2 and set for Player 9.

Yes, my original technique was to upload the Parent SWF to a folder and then the HTML widget on my webpage would load the file from that location. As you say, all the daughter swf's had to be uploaded into the folder created for that webpage when iWeb uploads my website to MobileMe. This has worked fine for all my other daughter swf's but (I'm presuming) there is something about the Learning Interaction that doesn't let it work this way.
The other disadvantage of doing it that way is that anytime I tweak the original webpage and iWeb uploads the changes, it recreates the page folder minus all my daughter swf's and I have to upload them manually again.
What I've now done is uploaded all the daughter swf's to the same folder as the Parent and added a full web address to this folder in all my loadMovie commands in the Parent swf. Done this way, the swf with the Learning Interaction works as intended.
Many thanks for taking the time and interest to help.

Error with buttons in an interactive PDF with "go to URL" action applied

Hello, I am having an issue with buttons in an interactive PDF, specifically buttons that have a “go to URL” action applied to them. Most of the buttons in the document work fine and link out correctly however, some of the linked buttons InDesign is adding spaces to the end of the url, which the browser interprets as “%20” and breaks the link i.e. (http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf%20). The added space effects multiple buttons in my document seemingly randomly, potential Bug? When the added space is deleted from the URL via the Button and Forms Panel’s URL field it is re-added by InDesign upon deselecting the button. Obviously the links can be updated in acrobat after export, but this is tedious and time consuming. Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated. Thanks!

But I have InDesign documents with sometimes 60-100 buttons in them. Previously I had to do nothing other save out of InDesign as an interactive PDF - perfect, with no editing in Acrobat at all apart from for a couple of document javascripts. It also applies to any interactive element. Buttons that are used for “show/hide” with others to create reveals and builds etc. Buttons that link to other pages within the document.
InDesign allows master page interactive buttons… make once use many times, Acrobat allows individual and painstaking editing of however many pages and buttons there are in the document, sometimes hundreds.
The solution is, until Adobe do a decent job of DC to revert to Pro XI and pretend its never happened.

Specific problem with buttons and states

Hello,
I first apologize for using Google Translate :-(
I have a problem with InDesign not solve. It is for a digital publication.
My goal is:
A 'gallery' button is pressed and the ball image appears with three buttons: "Previous image", "Next image" and "close gallery".
I do not want the gallery to be visible, or buttons that control, until the button is pressed "gallery", so I think all buttons except "gallery" with the "hidden until activated" option selected.
I want the gallery, and buttons that control it, disappears when I press the button "close gallery".
What I call "Gallery" is an image that fills the screen.
After placing the image on your site have become the property button "Hidden until activated."
Then convert this button in order to several states (what I will call "button states") and by the successive states with the images I want to show in the gallery.
I think the interactions of the buttons.
When button "gallery" I assign the following "I click the"
- "Go to state"
- Hide "gallery"
- Show "close gallery"
- Show "previous picture"
- Show "next image"
- Show "button states."
The buttons "Previous Image" and "Next Image" are assigned, respectively, to go to previous state and go to the next state.
When button "close gallery" I assign the following "I click the"
- Show "gallery"
- Hide "close gallery"
- Hide "previous picture"
- Hide "next image"
- Show "button states."
The buttons "Previous Image" and "Next Image" are assigned, respectively, to go to previous state and go to the next state.
When button "close gallery" I assign the following "I click the"
- Show "gallery"
- Hide "close gallery"
- Hide "previous picture"
- Hide "next image"
- Hide "button states."
I put it up and working properly until I press "close gallery". Then I hide the buttons "close gallery", "previous image" and "next picture" but it keeps me visible "button states" showing the last image that was shown.
Do not know how to fix this and I'm going crazy!
Please can anyone help me?
The solution may be another approach but without using "Folio Overlays".
Thank you very much.

I've moved your post to the DPS forum.
I'm afraid the way you're doing this is not going to work with DPS.
This should all be done with a multi state object. The first state would contain nothing but a button to go to the first state. After that set up each state with the proper buttons. Without seeing the file it's a bit difficult for me to envision exactly what you want to do.

Problem with buttons in page fragment

Hi,
I'm developing a jsp-page, which has two page-fragments and one inline frame..
I've a problem with one page-fragment. This one contains three buttons, for changing the language. When someone pushes the button, it seems that there is no action triggered...
Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<div style="-rave-layout: grid" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:j="http://www.sun.com/creator/jsfcl">
    <f:loadBundle basename="oltbwebapplication.bundle" var="bundle"/>
    <h:outputText binding="#{OltbStatus.mnuBanksys}" id="mnuBanksys" style="left: 96px; top: 0px; position: absolute" value="#{bundle.mnuLac}"/>
    <h:commandButton action="#{OltbStatus.choseNl}" actionListener="#{OltbStatus.btnNl_processAction}" binding="#{OltbStatus.btnNl}" id="btnNl"
        style="left: 432px; top: 0px; position: absolute" value="NL"/>
    <h:commandButton action="#{OltbStatus.choseFr}" binding="#{OltbStatus.btnFr}" id="btnFr" style="left: 480px; top: 0px; position: absolute" value="FR"/>

</div>Thx in advance
Ann Carpentier

Hi Ann,
I was working with dropdowns in pagefragments consequent to your query. I noticed that there is a problem with the dropdowns too. This especially happens if you have the same components in both the page fragments. For example buttons in both the page fragments or dropdowns in both page fragments etc.
I have filed a change request on your behalf for the same.
We thank you for bringing this to our notice.
Thanks and
Cheers :-)

Problem with buttons in Content Viewer iPad app

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my navigation once my app is viewed on the iPad. All pages in all of my articles are using the same master page for a menu button, and they all work when I view the app through the Content Viewer on my desktop. Once I log in to the Content Viewer on my iPad, however, the menu button on the first page of every article doesn't work. I did a test of swapping the first page with the second page in one of the articles, and the original page's menu button then worked while the second page's (now located at the beginning) wasn't being read. Other buttons on the first page work (which are also from the master page), it's just the menu button that makes my table of contents box appear. I have eleven articles in my folio and it's happening on the first page of every single one. Not too sure what's going on here, any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I also figured out after playing around with it a bit more that this only happens when "Horizontal swipe only" is checked in the properties.

PLEASE HELP! I'm desperate! Problems with buttons.

Hi there,
I've tried a few different forums on the net and so far there has been no reponse to my problem below. My coursework is due in tomorrow and I'm at my wits end.
I am really new to Flash and am having a problem with my application. I have created a button that I want to use to activate some pre-recorded film. I know I need to use some code to do this, however I can't seem to get it right.
I have deleted the film from the library as I thought it may be a problem in how I imported the .flv files, so I will need to reimport these (with some advice on how to do it right).
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Allie

You can play an .flv as an external file or you can import it into your movie. Using an external file is preferable for many reasons. Here's a good tutorial on how to play an .flv: http://layersmagazine.com/flash-cs5-flv-playback.html

Problem with Buttons/Form Fields in Acrobat PDF when created in InDesign CS4

So I have been working for quite some time on an interactive form for an internal client at my job. It has two major components, one is the side bar navigation, which I created using buttons in InDesign which link to bookmarks in the document. The second aspect is that I also created "check boxes" accoring to this video: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs4/articles/lrvid4434_ds.html
I have two major issues:
1. Whenever I try to convert my boxes to form fields in Acrobat it will not recognize them unless I save out 4 pages at a time (rather than the whole document).
2. I then have to combine the document and get multiple sets of bookmarks, and some bookamrks are corrupted (not working properly). Even when I try to convert the whole document some of the buttons are corrupted.
UGH tired of this project, I am really bastardizing the whole thing to get it done, but want to figure out the problem as this is an ongoing document that we will be using over and over again in future years.
I am attaching the pdf file--this is a pieced together one (saved out 4 pages at a time) (which I did do some fixes to to get buttons to go to proper locations) and the original indesign file (partial file due to size).
PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!

Acrobat's Form Wizard is good but not perfect when creating form data from a PDF. I have never encountered Acrobat not able to finish the process of creating all form fields, but have encountered very slugish performance afterwards when there was a lot of forms, buttons, and other elements within the pages. And I would say, from your attached PDF, it is pretty heavy with content. I am going to suggest an idea, but I have not tested this to see if it would work.
In InDesign, create a layer for your navigation tabs, and a layer for your text with the check boxes. Create two PDFs from ID, one PDF with just your-nav tabs, the second with just your text with check boxes. In Acrobat, perform the Form Wizard on the second PDF and see if this will finish, the idea here is to reduce the cllutter for the Form Wizard to finish. If it does, you can merge the first PDF as a layer with the second to have a completed document. Again, I have not tested this theory.

Problem with column groups on Interactive Report

Hi
I am hoping that someone can help with this problem.
I am attempting to control both the grouping and ordering within each group of fields in the single row view of an interactive report. Creating column groups appears to be OK at first (sequence, name and description) but if I then attempt to edit the group, the sequence box appears to be empty even though it was filled with a unique number at the time of creating the group.
In addition, any changes to the order of the fields within the group made using the shuttle box at the bottom of the screen don't seem to be saved even to the Apply Changes button is pressed.
Anybody know what is happening here and can anyone suggest how to control both the order of the groups and ordering within each group?
Thanks in anticipation

Two problems with MP3 files for interactive PDFs

1. I'm putting in two interview excerpts for an interactive pdf. Last week when I tried to import the first MP3, I got the "cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation" error message. I don't know anything about sound files, so I just tried To MP3 from the App store, which converted my MP3 file to another MP3 file, I guess. The new file worked fine.
I got the second file today and had the same problem. I sent the following urls (http://indesignsecrets.com/forum/general-indesign-topics/how-to-place-an-mp3-file-into-ind esign-cs5-which-was-edited-with-audacity-and-converted-with-switch, http://indesignsecrets.com/forum/general-indesign-topics/no-filter-found-for-requested-ope ration-mp3) I found that seem to describe similar problems to our sound guy at work.He tried lowering the bit rate, but it didn't do any good. So when I got home, I tried To MP3, and it solved the problem again.
Does anybody know why this is happening?
2. Once I had the first sound file in place, I wanted to replace the small gray box that Acrobat puts in. Bob Levine suggested
http://indesignsecrets.com/hiding-sound-files-in-an-interactive-pdf.php
which worked great, but I needed some way to control the audio. I tried a variation of Steven Werner's suggestions in
http://indesignsecrets.com/hiding-sound-files-in-an-interactive-pdf.php
It was working fine, when I had just a play and pause button, but when I added a resume, the play button just stopped working. I tried all sorts of variations, getting rid of the double actions in the buttons, starting new files, new buttons, but the play button just didn't work. In my last test, the play button worked, but only after I had pressed resume. So I am completely stumped.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

OK, I should have thought more before I answered.
So I see that Media Encounter does import audio files but it only exports video. However, I did a test with making a video file from the MP3, importing that video into InDesign, reducing the video, using the multi-function buttons, and everything worked fine. I got the warning message that the "interactive elements are clipped in ways that PDF files cannot reproduce" but it didn't interfere with playing it back. Still, I feel as if I'm cheating and something is going to come back and haunt me.
The disadvantage is that the video files are larger than the audio.

Problems with buttons in video

Hi there,
I did a project with only one slide with a slide video and a few klickable buttons. So, I want to create an interactive video with all interaction within the videoplayer, so that one can watch the video fullframe.
Klick on a button stops the video and calls a picture, which I put in the timeline of the slide video in a seperate layer. Here is the extended action, which is called by clicking on the button
When klicking on the called picture, the picture disappears and the video resumes. Here is the advanced action, which is called by clicking on the picture:
Here you can see the project (first button at about 0:45 - by the way: is there any possibility to add timecode and fullscreen-button to the captivate-player??):
www.frisbee-marketing.de/knoblauchsland/lerndoku-gemueseanbau-v2/lerndoku-gemueseanbau-v2. htm
Problems:
1. When the video resumes after klicking first on a button and then on the called picture and you want to go back in the video-timeline and klick the button a second time, the button don't appear a second time (or the picture appears instead of the button)
2. The button around 6:30 never appears but every time, the picture which should be called by klicking the button appears directly. I use the same kind of advanced action like at all other buttons, but it don't work:
I think about, if my strategy of putting all on one slide, is right...
...maybe it would be better to call a seperate slide by clicking on the buttons, and not a picture on the timeline of the slide with the slide video. But: I didn't found a way to jump back to the exact position of the slide video, from where the picture is called. Is there any possibility to do that?
Has anybody an idea, what to do, so that all buttons work reliable in the intended way?
Thanks a lot
Markus

Hi Neil,
Thanks for replying.
I'm using version 32 of the viewer in DPS Folio Properties. I'll describe what I made:
I created an MSO and Scrollable Frame on one page. Inside the MSO are 13 states. Inside the Scrollable Frame are buttons that link to each MSO state.
When I tested it on the latest Content Viewer on my iPad Air, the Scrollable Frame works. The buttons also work, they're able to change the state of the MSO -- BUT ONLY when the Scrollable Frame is STILL, not in motion.
This is the problem: When the Scrollable Frame is in motion and I want to stop the motion as well as tap the Button that I want to go to, the tap does not change the MSO state. But the Click state of the button does change (Normal state: purple, Click state: light purple). Then when I try to tap the button again, or any other button that is in view, the entire Scrollable Frame freezes.
When I tested this on the Desktop, it works perfectly. The Buttons are able to change the MSO states when I tap them, even as the scrollable frame is in motion.
Why does this not work on the iPad?
PS. I tested all viewer versions from 20-32 on DPS and I still get the same problem.
thanks for your help,
Ivee

Problem with ACF for Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Gurus,
I had created an adobe interactive form using web dynpro for abap, but I am getting the 500 connection timed out error in the browser when I test the web dynpro application. Where as a normal web dynpro application without adobe form is running successfully.
The system details are :-
     Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0
     NW04S SPS9
     Adobe Reader 9
     IE 7.
I followed the note 766191 and downloaded and installed ACF(for NW04s and higher version supported upto acrobat reader 9) from browser itself.
I also followed the note 1150277 for enabling IE settings on ActiveX controls. And I checked in IE with Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Manage Add-ons, but the ACF components were not available.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Sriratna.

Smartwatch 2 problem with button

I have for a few weeks the SW 2. It works good but..
I have to press so hard on the (only) button for starting the 'android-like" interface.
Sometimes I have to press 5 times for 1 succesfull hit.
You have to press 2 times to reach the menu...
It goes better when i have the watch in my hand and i can press with my thumb.
But with the watch around my wrist it is not easy.
Are there any persons with the same problem ?
My forefinger already hurts.
Isn't it posseble to go to the menu with double-click somthing like that ?

I see it was reported on here also http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Wireless-accessories/Sony-SmartWatch-2-screen-detaching-after-2-days/m...

Problems with buttons on embedded swf files or workaround how to loop mp3s? ...

Hello there,
I'm new to the topic of flash and rich media in pdf files so please forgvie me if I ask a Newbie question.
Here's the situation. I have an image slide show of ~18s and an audio file of ~3mins that I want to play as loops embedded in a pdf file.
I tried the following:
1) Created an swf file of the slide show with audio included, embedded in pdf -> works, but the swf file is off, since audio starts over with slide show, i.e-. after 18s.
2) Created an swf file of the slide show and an mp3, embedded two objects in pdf -> Audio can be muted by button (multimedia_pause), but won't loop
3) Created two swf files: one for the slide show, one audio only, embedded two objects in pdf -> Audio loops, but cannot be muted by button (multimedia_pause)
So can please somebody give me a hint on how to loop the mp3 file (preferred, smaller total file size) or why the mute button action won't work on the swf-file?
Any enlightening link is also most welcome! Thanks in advance!
Regards
bderfnam

Dave -
I know your reply was created nearly a year ago, but hoping you see it. I have the similar problem. My captivate contains audio whereby the audio is embedded on each slide, indepent of each slide within the captivate file. So, for a captivate course that has 10 slides, I'll have 10 audio files, one audio file (.mp3) on each slide.
OK, now each slide has each audio file timed perfectly with captions that appear on each slide. So that when the audio (a narrator) says for example:
"The user places the date and top of the page when the test failed ...and then the individual then signs at the bottom where indicated."
There would be 2 captions - One caption for the first part of the .mp3, and one caption for the second part of the audio. (all on one .mp3 on the main timeline)
When I press the Pause/Play button the .mp3 it just repeats itselve over and I hear the same voice running on top of each other in unison. Not sure how I can fix this where the Pause button on the control bar (the only control bar on the entire course), pauses everything on the slide.
Do you see what I am saying?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Problems with button inside draggable movie clip

I am building a click through presentation that has some small text in it. To maintain the design and allow for readability, I have added a zoom feature.
Here is the structure of the movie,
Stage - contains pages movie clip and forward/reverse click buttons for changing pages
pages_mc - contains 24 frames, one page per frame and buttons
There is a button at the _root level that uses a tweener to scale the pages_mc up to 170%. When this is clicked, it allows the pages to be dragged around the screen so you can look at different sections. When you click the button again, it returns the pages back to their original size stops drag.
My problem is, on the pages, there are buttons with links to external sites. Once startDrag has been invoked, I cannot touch the buttons inside the movie clip. Is there a way to make these buttons work?
I need the finished quickly so any assistance is welcome.
Code below
magUp_btn.onRelease = function() {
this._visible = false;
TweenLite.to(pages_mc, .25, {_x:-250, _y:-193, _xscale:170, _yscale:170});
TweenLite.to(magUp_mc, .75, {_alpha:0});
TweenLite.to(magDown_mc, .75, {_alpha:25});
magDown_btn._visible = true;
pages_mc.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
pages_mc.onRelease = function(){
this.stopDrag();
pages_mc.onReleaseOutside = function(){
this.stopDrag();
pages_mc.useHandCursor = false;
TweenLite.to(instr_mc, 1, {_alpha:100});
magDown_btn.onRelease = function() {
TweenLite.to(pages_mc, .25, {_x:0, _y:0, _xscale:100, _yscale:100});
TweenLite.to(magUp_mc, .75, {_alpha:25});
TweenLite.to(magDown_mc, .75, {_alpha:0});
this._visible = false;
magUp_btn._visible = true;
pages_mc.onPress = function(){
this.stopDrag();
TweenLite.to(instr_mc, 1, {_alpha:0});
I don't know how to turn drag off when I zoom out without using the onPress command, but I know that this is probably what is getting in the way of the button working?
Thanks!

One option is to make the background of the pages be the draggable parts rather than the movieclips that contain the pages and buttons. That way, the buttons could be atop the background and not have their access blocked.
Instead of coding the pages_mc, you would essentially have the background coded for the drag...
pages_mc.bkgnd.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this._parent);
