Reset Highlight Button State

Hi,
When I create a button from text, it will automatically provide a highlight when it is selected.
I've created the button, so that when it is selected (the button will highlight itself), it will navigate to another page/state. But when I return to that state via a "back" button, the button I originally pressed is stayed highlighted.
How do I reset that button (to it's normal state), when the button is pressed.
This problem also applies to my data lists.
Just a note, I'm NOT using the Wireframe Components that are provided by Catalyst (the buttons they have also have a mouse down state).
Thanks for your help!

Hi Baller,
You have two options:
1) If you only want the button to look selected while the mouse is down, you should convert your artwork to a Button component and edit the Down state. You can do this by selecting the artwork, choosing "Convert Artwork to Component > Button" in the HUD, and then click "Down" in the HUD. Now you're editing the Button's Down state.
2) If you are using a custom component as your "Button", if you go to the original state and set the custom component's state in the Properties panel, it will be restored to this state every time you go back to the original state.
Good luck,
-Adam

Unwanted text outline colour in highlighted button state

Hi DVDSP geniuses and much thanks in advance!
I'm getting unwanted colour at the edges of text in buttons in selected and activated states. I'm using a non-layered menu and a greyscale jpeg for background, a greyscale jpeg for overlay with simple colours.
The overlay is black text on white and I'm creating buttons from the text. In the selected and activated states for buttons unwanted, pixelated outlines appear on the edges of the text, often in a colour I haven't selected for any of these states.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks

I usually prefer picts or tifs for overlays. Are the pixels that you are seeing jaggedy edge types text edges or more like you are getting a glow? The edge of text can be a bear, but a drop shawod or stroke may help. (Did you do this in Photoshop) Also some text types/colors are more prone to issue (smaller fonts).
As to the color, did you somehow assign a different map set to the buttons? You can have three sets on a menu and if somehow adjusted a set for a button it could happen....(are the colors consistent on the menus, meaning it is always red or blue, let's say, on the menu where you expected yellow? (used three colors in case three sets snuck in.)

Reset Form button showing as Submit Form button?

Hello....
I have run into an odd issue that I can not figure out. For the past year, I have been creating and manually distributing various forms to our Sales Engineering group and outside partners. These forms are all designed from a common template we developed that includes a standard “Reset Form” button. Upon sending out a new form, I received an email with a screen shot that showed the Reset Form button as “Submit Form”. The partner went on to say that they thought it was the same as another form they have from me, which also shows a Reset Button as “Submit Form”
The end user states they are using Adobe 8.1.4. The forms were developed (9 Pro) LC Designer ES 8.2 and are set to be 8.0 or higher compatible. This is the first time I have heard of this and cannot figure out the cause. The label on the canned button itself is being changed from Reset to Submit.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what would cause this and how to correct? I can not assume that this is the only time this has happened, but it is the first I am hearing of it.
Thank you and my apologies if this should have gone to another forum group

I have not heard of this before .....can you send the template to [email protected] so I can investigate? Please include a description of the issue in the email.

Highlight Buttons in DVDSP

I create a button and select a highlight color for it, but when the DVD burns I cannot see which button I am selecting when played in my DVD player. Pleae help!

OK - let's go through it a step at a time...
You have created a button by dragging out a rectangle in the menu editor. Click on the button once and look in the property inspector under the 'Style' tab. In the middle, look for the Shape drop down and navigate through to whatever shape you want to use. For simplicity, select something like 'L shape highlight', which will create an underline and left hand upstand for whatever is on the background image.
Now click on the 'colours' tab and select 'simple' at the top. You should then see three sliders, one for 'Normal' one for 'Selected' and one for 'Activated' button states.
Leave the 'Normal' one set to 0 opacity (regardless of the colour in the box). This means that nothing will show up at all when the button is not selected or activated - so just whatever is on the background at that point will show through.
Move the 'Selected' slider to full opacity (15) and set the colour to what you want. It defaults to yellow, and I like to change that to red, personally. With this in place the button will then get a red underline when it is selected in your DVD player. You can check this by using the middle of the three buttons underneath the menu editor window that allow you to show the different button states... make sure that you haev a button clicked on in the editor first (i.e. has drag handles around it).
Now change the colour in the 'Activated' slider to be yellow, and set the opacity to 15 as well. This will make the button highlight change colour momentarily when a user activates it. If the selected colour is red, using something diferent (like yellow) allows you to see that the button has indeed been activated. Use the three buttons under the menu editor now and switch between the different states - you should see the highlight appear and change colour.
Now, repeat the process for every button that you have got on the menu, then go into the 'settings' drop down box and click on the text that reads 'Auto Assign Buttons now' (if it isn't already assigning the navigation). If you click on a button and then go into the 'Advanced' tab of the property inspector you should see which button the user will go to if they press a directional arrow on their remote control.
Finally, click on the background, away from any shapes, buttons or drop zones, or click on the menu icon in the outline view, then check the property inspector again - it should now show the options for the menu. Click on the 'Menu' tab and check the setting for the default button. It should say button 1 (if you didn't name the buttons as you went along), or whatever the name is of the first button that you created. This button will be the one highlighted in the 'selected' state when the menu plays.
That should be it.
If you do decide to create an overlay layer, all you do is create the background image in Photoshop (or whatever) and save it as a .pict file (don't use JPEG). You then add a layer and on that draw only the highlight shapes that you want - in our example you would simply draw a few lines to appear under the text on the background layer.
Hide the background so that just the highlight lines are showing and then convert this to grayscale. Export that as a .pict image as well, then import both to DVDSP. Set one as the menu background, one as the overlay and then proceed as above but don't use a shape... draw out the rectangles around the button text and you should see the highlight shapes appear. Set the colours for the states as before.
Lastly, don't forget to assign the button targets no matter which method you choose!

Initial button state in motion menu

I have a 5 sec motion menu and I want the active button state to delay highlight until the motion is done. I did not set a default button hoping it wouldn't select while playing but that didn't work. Is there a work around?

I just did this in a recent project. You have to use a menu overlay, then set the motion menu’s loop point at 5 seconds. The buttons will be invisible until you hit the loop point. The menu will continue to loop, but won’t include the first five seconds.
I could not get it to work with DVDSP’s built-in buttons.

How do I reset to default state when there is no icon to click?

Firefox is slow and crashes a lot. So I went to the Help menu that told me to reset to default state, but there is no icon in the upper right corner of the screen and all it keeps doing is telling me to reset and I can't reset it

Hi Odattbrett,
Sorry for the confusion! Does your device have a physical menu button below the screen? If it does, Firefox will automatically hide the 'three dots' menu icon that would normally be at the top of the screen - because pressing the menu button on your device should bring up the menu instead. This helpful article has more information:
[[Firefox menu icon is missing on Android - how to access the menu]]
Also, doubly sorry to hear that Firefox is running slowly! :(
A good way to try to fox this would be by uninstalling Firefox and then installing it again. Doing this would give you a completely fresh start (all your history, bookmarks, passwords and extensions would be removed). To uninstall and reinstall Firefox:
# Open your device's Settings screen (you might be able to find this by swiping down from the top of the screen, or look for the settings icon on your device's main menu)
# Press ''Apps'' and then swipe from right to left until you reach the ''All'' section
# Firefox should be near the top of the list. Press it and on the next screen press ''Uninstall''
# Go back to your device's main menu. Open ''Google Play'', search for and install Firefox.
I hope this helps. Reply to let us know if the problem is fixed!

How can I set the highlighted button according to the last chapter viewed?

I have a main menu with four buttons, each one of which takes me to a different chapter of track 1. When I press the MENU button on the remote and return to the main menu, I would like for the highlighted button to be the one corresponding to the last chapter viewed. How can I do this?
Page 247 of the DVDSP manual says the following:
Highlight Condition: Provides an alternative method to the Default Button setting for determining which button to highlight. When Highlight Condition is set to Default, the Default Button setting supplies the button highlight setting. When Highlight Condition is set to one of its stream settings (audio, subtitle, camera angle), the number of the stream last played determines the button to highlight. This setting can be overridden by any element that jumps to this menu, based on its jump setting.
I know that SPRM 7 contains the value of the current chapter, so when returning to the main menu I would like to use SPRM 7 to set the Highlight Condition, but I don't see a way to do that, since the only options for Highlight Condition are audio stream, subtitle stream, and camera angle.

Ah. Pre-scripts.
I would do this by tracking the menu, certainly, but I'd do that by using a set of scripts not as prescripts. So, if your main menu is the start up item for the disc, create a script that reads:
mov GPRM0, 1
Jump main menu
and set that as the start up item instead. Now create a second script:
mov GPRM0, 2
Jump Menu2
and use both of these scripts on any button that goes to a menu. For example, on the Main Menu you'll have a button that links to menu2... point that button to script 2 instead of the menu itself. Similarly, on the chapter menu if you've got a button that takes you back to the main menu, point that button to the first script.
For your menu call script you can now do this:
mov GPRM1, SPRM8
div GPRM1, 1024
Jump Main menu \[GPRM1\] if (GPRM0 = 1)
Jump Menu2 \[GPRM1\] if (GPRM0 = 2)
This could also be the end jump script for both tracks, too.
Now, Main menu will have three buttons, one for track 1, one for track 2 and one to go to the second script. Track 1 menu call and end jump goes to the last script, track 2 does the same. On the chapter select menu you point each button to the relevant chapter in track 1 and let the scripts do their job whenever a menu call is made or the track ends. The script will see you were on Menu2 and send you there, and SPRM8 will get you back to the button you last selected.
If, instead of this, you want to go to the button that represents the last chapter played on the chapter menu, and not the last button pressed, but still be able to get to the last button on the main menu then the script changes a bit:
Goto 5 if (GPRM0 = 2)
mov GPRM1, SPRM8
div GPRM1, 1024
Jump Main menu \[GPRM1\]
mov GPRM1, SPRM7
Jump Menu2 \[GPRM1\]
This sends you to the button relevant to the last chapter played if you came from the chapter menu, by jumping through the script to the bit that deals with Menu2, else it will work out the last button selected (and we assume this must have been on the Main menu because GPRM0 !=2 in that case), and send you to the main menu with that button highlighted.
If you've got any more scripts than that running, you've got too many... and get rid of the pre-scripts - they are more trouble than not, and don't work if you are using GPRM based button jumps anyway.

Interactive PDF: Rollover button state no longer working properly ???

Okay, what's going on with the Interactive PDFs lately?
Now all my rollover buttons no longer work properly. If I have a button that's simply a black arrow, and in the rollover state it's red.
No matter if I'm checking it out in the latest Acrobat Reader or Pro X, the rollover only works for a brief second..then reverts back to black - the original state.
This, combined with my latest problem with the show/hide button state, is really becoming a frustrating hassle:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3933451#3933451
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm running 7.5.1.
Is this an Acrobat issue? The button function here seems to work in the InDesign preview mode.

Hhmmm...I'm actually having this problem even with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. Does this make sense?
Again, I'm creating the document in InDesign CS5 and then building the PDF with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, and the rollover effects don't work in Adobe Acrobat 9, Adobe Reader 9, and Adobe Reader 10.
I'm a bit new to this process of software not providing its basic touted functionality. Is this the kind of thing where support for this functionality will vary from product to product? I had the same issue with PDF Portfolio -- where all its functioanlity was not supported in Adobe Reader X. If so, perhaps I should simply stick with the classic features of PDFs. Or can I trust, reliability, that going forward, this rollover effect will be supported in all Adobe Reader versions? This is quite an important issue for me as I provide all the documentation for my employer, including customer facing documentation -- and I simply don't know. Any recommendations?

Radio button state on region load...

Is there a way to set the radio button state (click event) on a region load? The default value of 0 (read-only) works when clicked, but doesn't when the page initially loads, and it's like the button click event needs to take place at the region load time. The values are 1 and 0 set statically if that matters, and the hidden value does not get changed when the radio button with the value of 1 is selected.
The button makes the button visible when 'edit' is selected and the button disappears when 'read-only' is selected which is the expected behavior.
I do have a condition on the 'save' button for the value to not be zero which is based on the value from the radio button.
My gut says it'll be a region header attribute or Java Script sort of thing and I've not found anything so far, and I'm hoping there's an Apex guru out there that has a recommendation.
Thanks in advance!
Matt

I used some source I found on Denes' web site and added the call, but it didn't yield the result I was hoping for.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$s('P8_RADIO_BUTTON','0');
function f_showhideButtonRadio(pThis, pValue)
{ var show_or_hide = html_RadioValue(pValue);
if (show_or_hide == 0)
{html_HideElement(pThis);}
else
{html_ShowElement(pThis);}
function f_showhideButtonSelect(pThis, pValue)
{ var show_or_hide = $x(pValue).value;
if (show_or_hide == 0)
{html_HideElement(pThis);}
else
{html_ShowElement(pThis);}
</script>
I'm quite new to the Java Script in Apex, so if I hosed this up, please let me know. Also, does that set the click event on or does that just set the value? The reason I ask is with a 0 or 1 it yielded the same result.
Thanks!

The "Reset Firefox" button is missing from the Troubleshooting Information page in Waterfox v. 26.0.

Upon opening Waterfox I see a message at the bottom of the screen indicating that Waterfox is slow in opening. When I follow the link to find a fix for it, I get the page instructing me on how to reset the programme via the Troubleshooting Information page. However, the "Reset Firefox" button shown in the example is missing from the page in Waterfox.

You only see the reset button on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page if you use the profile that is marked as Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.
If you do not have the "Reset" button then either use the Profile Manager to create a new profile or use the Profile Manager to start with the current default profile to get the reset button in Firefox.

Can You Change the Highlighted Button in the Find Font Palette?

I have several hundred spreads that I converted from Quark to InDesign CC and a few fonts are missing, so I need to replace them. I can use the "Find/Replace" window to take care of most of them using the "find format" function, but one doesn't show up as a choice, so I have to change it using the Find Font palette. I select the missing font name and then select the replacement. Then, if I hit the "enter" button on the keyboard, the palette closes because the highlighted button is the "Done" button. Is there a way to change the highlighted button to the "Change All" one?
Thanks,
Lloyd

John,
Thanks for the reply. I tried using the tab key and although it does change the highlighted button, you can't just press "enter" to select it. I also tried ALT+A (option+A) and it did nothing. I should have mentioned that I'm using a Mac.

In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

Thank you so much for your reply . . . but . . . I should have shared my original script with you -- it was a little more complicated than I led you to believer. I was triggering a group of text fields to become disabled as well as gray. Below is the original script so that when the checkbox is checked, it causes several "Co" fields to be disabled and gray.
// Mouse Up script for check box
// If checked, certain fields should be disabled
var f_prefix = "Co";
// Get a reference to all of the "Co" fields
var f = getField(f_prefix);
// Reset the Co fields
resetForm([f_prefix]);
if (event.target.value === "Off") {
    // Enable the Co fields
    f.readonly = false;
    f.fillColor = color.transparent;
} else {
    // Disable the Co fields
    f.readonly = true;
    f.fillColor = color.gray;
To recap -- my goal is to get those gray fields to revert to transparent if the form is reset. I'm willing to create my own custom "Reset Form" button but I'm not sure I understand how that would look. Wouldn't it be quite lengthy? I think I'm having a brain freeze -- can't figure it out!

After performing "reset factory state" (with HP Recovery Manager) I noticed the malfunction IE9 32bit.
Moreover, the absence of other software preinstalled (missing: Hp Hp setup-documentation-IE9 64bit).
When I tried a new reset, HP Recovery Manager to the voice system recovery (factory state) tells me:

The same happens with the F11 key during startup. Reset error.
The System Restore Microsoft does not resolve.
In Windows everything else seems to work and the hardware of the notebook has no problems.
The original dvd player has been replaced with a compatible; reads all the disks supported.

This question was solved.

I have no more 'answer because my computer had crashed complete.
I apologize.
Order the media why?
If discs created the first time the PC will not work. I suppose that does not solve the problem discs hp (I also read about a problem like mine. This problem has not been resolved with the media bought by HP).
I shot weeks the web and I finally found the appropriate procedure.
I made several attempts to solve the problem. But now I have succeeded.
1- Show Hidden Files \ protected
2- Enter with a program (es: file commander) in recovery partition and copy the file or files base.wim. My is about 18 Gb, 1 file.
3- We need a second PC and dvd
4- Follow a procedure described by internauta 37.
Search "Ripristinare portatile HP senza DVD e se l'HP Recovery Manager non funziona Internauta37"
E 'was for me a little complicated but in the end I have my hp to the state of factory and everything works perfectly.
