Roll over buttons showing on all layers?

Hello,
I have created an interactive presentation in indesign CS4, I have a series of photos which all have roll over button states applied to them so they when you click the photo they will then show profile content for that photo. These are on separate layers and above the main content layer. When I export to Acrobat 9 the layers show in the correct order but when I then set the buttons up to show and hide the profile layer the photo button which is on a lower layer and should then be partially hidden by the profile panel but now sits on top of the content panel? Is this just the way it is in Acrobat or is there a setting in indesign I am missing as I did want the panel to pop up with a drop shadow etc you can still see part of the original photo underneath, is this achievable or do I then need to set a action to hide the initial photo button?
I have ran tests using just hyperlinks and these work and the photos then stay in the correct order but ideally I wanted to use rollovers.
Many thanks for any help.

Hello,
Unfortunately, you're in the Acrobat.com forum - not the Acrobat forum (confusing, we know). Here's the link the forum you're looking for:

Javascript error in Safari (sequel to roll-over button problem)

Yesterday I started a thread on non-functioning roll-over buttons in Safari.
In the mean time (with the help of iBod) I founs out that the problem has got something to do with JavaScript.
The problem occurs in sites I built with FreewayPro 4.0.1
The url's:
www.wildeplantentuinen.nl
www.kunst-zin.nl
The problems occur only in Safari (2.0.2 and 3.0)and not in some other browsers (even ana IE version of 2001 works great)and probably since the last Tiger Update (10.4.11)
The JavaSriptConsole gives an "Undefined Value" error for all of the non-functioning elements on a specific line.
Any Javascript-gurus around that could help me. (I am not a code-wizard at all).

Thanks ra5ul,
That (more or less) solved the problem, . . . . . . but what is going on ?
I edited all sourcecode of numerous html-pages by hand and now they work the way they should in Safari.
But now every time I make a small change to any page, my web-building program changes the code back to the old syntax (which, again, all browsers can read except Safari).
Why does the problem only occur in Safari ?
I hate to put a line on the index-pages that Mac users should not try this website in Safari.
Problem is, I made these sites in Freeway and I don't want to upgrade that program because I switched to Dreamweaver and iWeb (for the simple ones).
Is there a smart work-around ?

Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet thos albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop but none of the others. What's happening?

Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet ONLY those albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop after being dragged there but none of the others. What's happening?
I've read some of the post here that I thought might help but they refer to titles (Music) and triangles in the "Devices" window which are nowhere to be seen when I open the "Devices" window.
I have iTunes 11.0.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8. Does this make a difference?

I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

Flash roll over buttons

hey, i'm using flash CS3 for my website. i'm trying to make thumbnails of pictures on the side of the screen and when the user will roll over these thumbnails, the actual size picture will appear in the middle of the page. i already did this on most of my site by simply converting these thumbnails to buttons and adding the picture on the the "over" part. but now i wanted to change the pictures on my site and when i tried to do the same progress again the pictures now appear not only when i roll over the thumbnails but when i roll over the part that the pictures are supposed to appear too!
i truely have no idea why this is happening!
please help!
thanks

Try extending the thumbnail so that it occupies all four of the frames, making sure that the larger image is only in the over frame.

Computer Roll Over Buttons

I am working with DVD Studio Pro 1.5.2 (Believe me the upgrade is coming soon)and I have created a DVD with a few static menus (photoshop files) that include various buttons with active and select states (photoshop layers). When I play this DVD in a computer I have to double-click the buttons to activate them. When I roll over them nothing happens. Should I be able to have active roll-over states on these menus? And if so how do achieve this?

Menus can be a bit of an issue, yes - there are a few things to consider. Have a look at page 53 of the manual (considers pan scan and letterbox issues) and at page 84/5, which describes how to create your menu graphics when working in 16:9 and thinking about the differences between square and rectangular pixel aspects.
In short, design the menu slightly larger than you need it and re-size if when done. If you use square pixels in photoshop then the overlay will probably shift slightly in DVDSP.

Updating roll over buttons cross website

Hello there,
I'm updating a website for a friend and have put new role
over buttons on the index page. I created the buttons in
Illustrator and saved them in a new buttons folder as GIF files.
The old buttons were JPG so I couldn't just save them and they'd
automatically update.
Anyway, I've redone the index page and my question is can I
copy and paste these new role over buttons along with their links
to all the other HTML pages in the website? I'm using Dreamweaver
by the way. I want to avoid having to individually go in and update
each button by hand as it will take me for ever.
Thanks a million for any help!
M

Whether you do this manually, or with a sitewide find and
replace, you will
have to change the code for each rollover to accommodate the
filename
change. Why did you save as GIF instead of JPG? If you had
not changed the
filename, you could just upload the new images and they would
work on every
page.

RealPlayer "Download This Video" Button shows up all over the page

When I roll my mouse across a page "Download This Video" shows up at all kinds of places where there is no video. Not a problem in V3.6
I use Win7.

Sorry, but both the:
"Download This Video to Real Player" appears in the FlashPlayer right-click context menu"
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402905.html
and the:
"Content creators are currently able to prevent this button from appearing by publishing content as ActionScript 3.0 or by passing FlashVars to the SWF file through HTML. "http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402905.html
forum threads give the 404 Error page.
Is it still possible to prevent RealPlayer from downloading any swf???
I'm developing in the Flex 3.5 framework and see this annoying RealPlayer download button.
For me, it's not even a matter of securing my copyrights, but of giving the user a smooth experience. This RealPlayer annoying button just gets in the middle of my navigation buttons, just to say "Video cannot be downloaded"... Apart from bothering my users, it spoils my desing. It's very frustrating.
Thx guys

Internet streamed Video and Audio Lag when I roll over buttons/change tabs

Well just as the title suggests when I am watching videos online, aka youtube, hulu, etc, everything runs fine. But if I decide that I also want to check my facebook or something similar while watching these movies, the video and audio become choppy, even to the point where my audio will become distorted, and the video will just plain freeze. I'm wondering if this is a computer issue and if so how can I fix it?
I'm on a late 2007 13" white macbook, with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM. I'm also using Google Chrome, but it also happens on Safari.

"Roll over to try, click to apply" does nothing

I just did the latest Firefox update - no problems - but once again, after the last 2 or 3 or more updates, the "Roll over to try, click to apply" option to try out the new 'personas" does nothing. I remember when they first came out and I could roll over them and see all the cool personas. I never actually chose to apply one but now, as I said, when I rollover, nothing happens. I'd like to still see what they do. If so, maybe I'll eventually actually apply one. Any idea why it doesn't work?

Flex and roll-over pop-ups.

My application is similar to a map with roll-over/roll-out popup boxes. Instead of a map, it is a process "chart" with about 50 "buttons" (in AS3 they are dynamic MovieClips) in about 50 different charts. In the end there will be about 2500 color-coded roll-over/roll-out popups in 50 different "pages.", each with text and two "buttons" to launch a SWF or a PDF.
Been learning Flex on and off for a year or so and I'm hypothesizing that Flex would make this app more maintainable and possibly more achievable. Can anyone respond in general to the popup and maintenance issues?
Thanks.

Thanks for your input. It was helpful to know that it is probably doable - at least seemingly from my description. As I "mess around" in FlexBuilder, I can see that it will be very doable and probably more so than simply using Flash/AS3.
By the way, I used the word "chart" a bit loosely. My application more resembles color-coded columns, each with a handful of text lables that act as Roll-Over buttons with textual information, but that also launch an interactive instructional SWF or a PDF (for that particular subject). I'm now wondering if I should use a drop down "something or other" to give the learner an option to play the swf, or get the PDF, then use a tool tip for the textual information?
Much thanks!

Making Movies play with Roll Over

Does anyone know how to make a movie roll over button, that
will start and stop were you left off. here are some examples:
http://www.fabchannel.com
http://www.diddy.com/diddy.php
The buttons are at the bottom.
Thanks so much,
GL

it will basically pause the movie on rollOut and resume on
rollOver.
so YES, it will start and play from where it has
stopped

About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. P.S. iCloud is off.

Menu's photoshop buttons not rolling over

Hello all,
I have created some layered buttons in photoshop. All is well, they roll over and work lovely in simulator but when I create a build and open it in the Macintosh DVD player the rollovers dont roll!
What am I doing wrong?
As always thenks in advance
Matt

Repeat after me: DVD is not Flash, DVD is not Flash, DVD is not Flash...
The majority of DVD players don't have the option of rolling over as the majority of DVD players don't have a mouse attached to them.
Layered menus use a behind-the-scenes trick to do their work, involving a series of normal menus connected with auto-activating buttons. However, you wouldn't want buttons to auto-activate with a simple rollover in a software DVD player. Therefore, software players require two clicks for layered menus: one to select (which actually just triggers the auto-activating button and hops to the "selected" menu layer), and another to activate.
Yet another reason not to use layered menus, IMO.

Roll over images in a slide show

I am trying to make a slide show of before and after images for a client.
Rather than just have them all one after the other, I want all the after images to display as normal, and the before to display on hover for each slide.
I can make this work in a basic slide show when rather than adding an image to the Hero Image box, I use the fill and states.
However this only allows me to do one, as I can't add any more empty Hero Image boxes (or I don't know how to do that, is it possible?)
When I add an image via the slide show menu it appears on top of any fills, and I can't seem to give images added this way a roll over state.
Can anyone tell me how to either add extra blank Hero Image boxes, or how to apply the effect I want to the images in the Hero Image boxes.
Thanks in advance, if there is any further info I can provide about my problem, please let me know!
M

Hi,
You cannot add multiple hero image boxes within the same Slideshow. Now , you can use different slideshows for your different images but that wont give you the slideshow effect but you will be able to see all your after images at once and then if you rollover them you would be able to see the before images.
Now, In order to create the effect that you want, what I would suggest you is to use a 'Composition widget'. In the composition widget, you can make the triggers as small thumbnails for your images and in the Target you can set the fill as your after image and in rollover state you can use the before image. After this you can use the Autoplay feature available in the composition widget and you will get the desired result.
Hope this helps
Regards,
Rohit Nair
