Function of the PLAY button versus the ENTER button

Hello gang,
I had a quick DVD / DVDSP related question that I've been trying to get a definitive answer for, and I've had great luck and some very helpful responses over in the Final Cut forum so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Anyways, I'm editing some video and authoring a DVD for a group who intend to make an instructional DVD. It's divided into about five chapters and each one begins with some sort of voiceover and text/graphics. In the opening segment of the DVD, there is a voiceover that explains the way to navigate through the DVD and select chapters, etc. etc. The voiceover has already been written and recorded, but I have some concerns about the power they have designated for the "Play" button. Here is an excerpt:
"We use the PLAY button in a couple of ways: to select and play an item that is currently highlighted in a list of items on the screen..."
and also:
"Almost all DVD remotes have a set of buttons that are arranged like a set of arrows (or triangles) pointing to the top, bottom, right and left of the remote control. These keys are used to move the selection pointer on menus presented on the screen. When an item is selected, it is highlighted to distinguish it from the other items in the list that are not selected. Once you have moved the selection point to the item you want, push the PLAY button to actually select and begin playback on that item."
Now here is my concern– I was under the impression that the "Enter" button was typically used to select menu items, etc. I decided to test this on some commercial DVDs I had lying around, and it seems that the Play button does in fact work to select items. I had always assumed it was assigned just one specific role, for example playing the main title on a DVD.
I looked it up in the DVDSP manual and this is all I found:
"A button is selected when the viewer navigates to
it. Only one button at a time can be in the selected state. The selected button becomes
activated when the viewer presses the remote control’s Enter button. Depending on the
button type, highlights or layers are used to indicate each button’s state."
I couldn't find anything regarding the function of the Play button. I suppose my question is this: do these instructions sound okay? Are they universal? Can the Play button be used to select menu items on EVERY DVD player? I am only really stressing about this because this DVD is being targeted towards senior citizens, many of whom have extremely limited knowledge of DVD technology. I'd like to come up with the most universal, simple, and solid instructions for navigation through the DVD.
Okay, thank you in advance. I appreciate any comments or advice you might be able to offer.

Ah yes, Jake, but which UOP? Surely, you've seen me address this issue of there not being a Play UOP before?
The project can be set up for Play to be Enter on a very high percentage of players, but it would be good with Christopher’s project to get the announcer to add "and Enter".
The way it works is make sure that the "Still Off" user Op in DVD Studio Pro's Advanced Playback Controls is unchecked. DVD SP started making this default UOP denial in recent versions, which will mess up the Play remote key on a lot of players, including the Apple DVD player.
And it would be good to take notes here Jake, since you do some Scenarist authoring. This Play remote key could bite you big time, if you're not careful (I've rescued two good authors who had trouble with what I'm about to describe; luckily, we caught it before it was submitted for replication).
Still Off, which is what a lot of DVD player manufacturers map their play remote key if they don't directly map it to "Enter", when the DVD player is in infinite pause mode, i.e., the state a cell/program is in when displaying a still menu, causes the menu PGC to execute it's post command area (leave the PGCs still phase).
A check of DVD SP's abstraction layer will show that navigation out of the post command area of all DVD SP's menu PGCs is determined by the current value of SPRM 8, the last selected/activated button. All of DVD SP's menu domain buttons are "LinkTail PGC" commands, so the effect of Operating Play is identical to activating a button with Enter, in the case of Still Off being the trigger.
This can be verified by setting a button command in AfterEdit to jump somewhere directly which is different location than it was set in DVD SP. With the Still Off user op enabled, hit Play on the selected button and find that the original command in DVD SP will execute. But hit enter on the same button, and navigation will go to your test location. This is how it works on many players (you can check it out right in the Apple player).
So it's good for spec based authors to use LinkTail PGC, which most do, on their menu button commands for still menus (in single PGCs), just in case users use Play instead of Enter in those players; or navigation can get pretty wacky! Or, if you don’t use LinkTail for the menus’ button commands, then it would be good to at least provide for code in the PGCs post command area to receive navigation in this case. But LinkTail has lots of other advantages, which is why it's used so much.
With motion menus, Most players map the play remote key to "Enter", well, except the Apple DVD player. It turns the Play remote key to a Pause key during motion, so Christopher’s viewers would definitely be out of luck there.
All that said, the play remote key should not be depended on as the primary for bullet-proof navigation, as you said.
Take care,
Trai

Flash button doesn't work when used with Dreamweaver CS4

I am a student trying to learn how to take multimedia elements from one class and put them on a webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. From an online tutorial, I created start/stop buttons with ActionScript3 URLRequest to reference a sound file. The swf works fine when played; it plays from the html generated by flash but when I use Dreamweaver CS4 > insert > media > swf and then preview page in browser (firefox), the button doesn't do anything. When I compare the html page generated by flash to the html created by Dreamweaver, they look completely different. I don't have a clue what to do next.
I have also posted this in the Dreamweaver forum. Please, does anyone have a solution?

Thanks for the response! What bothers me is that I was able to use Dreamweaver > insert.... swf on a different file with actionscrip2 controls (thanks to help from Ross Ritchey) but this time the swf has actionscript3 code in it and I was wondering if that makes a difference. I don't get any errors, the button shows as clickable, just nothing happens. Thank you for the suggestion, however the flash html but it is so MASSIVE! It makes looking at the rest of the page difficult and I have several sound files I wanted to add to one webpage.

Flash buttons dont work in Dreamweaver Preview

I have made a intro using flash catalyst. I can preview in internet explorer using flash catalyst and everything works great including all button actions taking you to a different url. I then publish to my website: I added ALL the exported webfiles into a folder in dreamweaver. I than placed the main.swf on a blank page. It views perfect in Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. The up and over state of all buttons works, but when you click the buttons that are supposed to take you to another URL nothing happens. The buttons that change state do work completely however? I also opened the html file included from flash catalyst and it views fine as well, with the same result the url action buttons dont function.
Thanks for any information I am new to dreamweaver.
Andy

Hi toodoo, What version of the flash plugin are you using and can you please provide an example url where this does not work?
To make sure it is not an add on preventing the button from working you can also try safe mode.

Flash movies with play button don't work

I have the 'simple' problem that everytime I see a "play" button on a web page with flash content, clicking on it won't start the movie. However, e.g. YouTube movies work fine. So it seems it's just movies that do not start automatically after clicking on a link.
Also, checking the flash player e.g. at the Adobe site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html), tells me in a flash box I have the latest flash player installed, and I see the flash movie 'flash player is running on your system' with the red ball rolling in it.
I have the same problem for both google Chrome and for IE.
I still have an old Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook with Win XP (latest updates) and ATI mobility Radeon X300 graphics chip, for which I also installed the latest available drivers.
Experimenting with Flash Player settings was unsuccessful so far (e.g. no hardware acceleration, clearing all internet data in the Flash Player global settings tool).
My desktop (also with Win XP and with the same browsers and Flash Players/Flash Plugins installed works fine...).
I also know that it worked at an earlier time with this NB...
I managed to run the movie with a Linux Live CD but that is not what I want to do every time...
Any idea is highly appreciated.....

Hi BalusC, i have saved the datamodel (a ArrayList) in SessionBean. It can't be null. The rows of table display correct. I don't understand, why functions buttons with ObjectArrayDataProvider, but not with ObjectListDataProvider?

When I try to access something with Adobe Flash, I have to click on the "f" which turns into a "play" button. I do not need to do this step in Safari. Help.

Is there something blocking Adobe Flash which causes me to have to hit the play button every time I want to access a page using Flash?

you can just go into the firefox addons manager and disable it or remove it there in case you no longer need it: [[Disable or remove Add-ons]]

Larger Video Play Buttons in Flash

How do you get larger video play/pause buttons when importing a video in to Flash. My current buttons are too small and I need to find larger ones. How do you do that?

I've tried using different flvplayback skins and the playback buttons are all way too small. I tried following steps on how to use the Video UI Component but it doesn't seem to work. I added a "Play" button to the stage but didn't know what to name the instance of it and then how to do the Action Scripting for it. There were examples of Action Script and I tried the examples and they didn't work.

Where can i find simple flash play/stop button tutorial

Can anyone help me where can i find simple flash play/stop
button tutorial. All i need to import a icon play/stop button, when
click it load wav file.
How can i attach media.fla
when u click btn
on(release) {
CodePlayer.start();
on(release) {
CodePlayer.stop();
action script
CodePlayer = new Sound();
CodePlayer.loadSound("ContactUs.wav",true);

OK your sorta close. the .wav file "ContactUs.wav" couldn't
be too large a file, and you can't use 'loadSound' with a .wav, it
would need to be an mp3 file and you also have it set to be a
streaming file, which I would image is not necessary.
So under File>>import select the wav file and add it to
the Library. Select it, right click, and select 'linkage'. Enter a
name for the identifier like 'contact_id' and hit OK. Now go back
to your code on frame one, main timeline and change the code you
have to:
var CodePlayer:Sound = new Sound();
CodePlayer.attachSound("contact_id");
Now in your button handlers change to:
on(release) {
_parent.CodePlayer.start();
on(release) {
_parent.CodePlayer.stop();
}

Trying to create Large Play button on Flash CS4

Hello,
I am trying to create the following: (using someone elses post from another board)
"I am wondering if there is a way to hide the FLVPlayback skin until a certain event happens. Let me explain.
I have an instance of the flvplayback component in my movie. I have the player skin set to "autohide" and "autoplay" set to false. Instead of having users click on the play button of the skin to start the movie I have incorporated a larger play button in the middle of the screen. The set back here is that when a user mouses over the movie to click on the larger play button the flvplayback skin appears as well.
I'd like to basically tell the skin "Hey don't appear on mouseover until AFTER the large play button is pressed." What code would I need for this in Actionscript 3?"
I am curious if someone can teach how to embed a regular .swf movie file into the
"example" code, which was also posted here
(http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=323702)
I have very limited coding skills and very much appreciate the assistance.
Rod

You are looking for the visible property I believe.
At the beginning of your code, set:
myFLVPlayer._visible = false;
to set it invisible (replacing "myFLVPlayer" with your components name ocourse)
Then, onRelease of your button, set:
myFLVPlayer._visible = true;
to make it visible again.
EDIT
I just looked at your code in the other forum, and here is your onRelease function fixed:
video_mc.video._visible = false;
video_mc.bigButton_mc.onRelease = function(){
video_mc.bigButton_mc._visible = false;
video_mc.video._visible = true;
video_mc.video.play();

Music won't play - play button flashes ipod touch 3rd gen

Strange thing:
Yesterday, all was fine--music played normally. Today, when I try to play music, the play button (the arrow), just flashes a pause button and goes right back to the play button. No music can be played. It's as if the PLAY button is stuck (?)
Sound from other apps work fine.
Nothing new was downloaded, no apps, no syncs, nothing. Running v. 3.1.3
I have tried toggling various settings, searching the internet for similar issues, but to no avail.
I cannot upgrade versions or restore settings at the moment but I am not convinced that will solve the issue. Why? Because a few months ago, my boyfriend has the same issue! One day it worked and the next day, nothing.
At some point after we figured it is "broken", it began to work again! We have no idea how it magically restarted working. Unfortunately, mine has not magically restarted, so I hope someone in the forums can help. Please post if you have had a similar issue. I need this for my work!!

Basics from the manual are.
Restart.
Reset.
Restore.
Have you tried any of these?

If you add music videos to Up Next playlist, then go to look at the album cover playing screen, then go to add another song from different playlist, you no longer can see Up Next, just go to full screen mode button. Using remote app iPhone 5 to play out of iTunes. It looks like it works fine for regular music, but for music videos you can't see your up next unless you go back on the computer to change once you've left the screen. When using the remote app, you shouldn't need to go to iTunes on the PC to view or edit Up Next already added. See first image, you can hit upper right and get back to Up Next (second image). Third image is music video, where you can't get back to Up Next, just swap between full screen and not. I hoped 3.0.1 would have the answer, no luck!

wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
Once again, great review

I cannot activate the play button on a video in firefox using the keyboard

I am blind and use a screen-reader called JAWS For Windows to navigate the internet. Because I am blind I cannot use a mouse and rely on the keyboard to navigate and interact with web pages. I tend to play a lot of video for business reasons. I can, using internet explorer, navigate to and press the play button in websites such as Youtube. However this is not possible using firefox. I sometimes have occasion to use video download helper and in order to download I have to play the video first and unless there is someone around who can click the play button with a mouse I cannot do this. Any ideas? I have tried on two different computers, 1 is a netbook running IE8 with Windows 7 starter edition and the other is a desktop running Windows XP Home SP3. I would much prefer to be using firefox on a permanent basis as it also gives me access to a plugin which deals with Captcha Images.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up
