Scaling a button with rollover state (IDCS3)

If you have a button with a rollover state and then scale it, only the currently visible state is scaled.
Would you guys consider this a bug or intentional?
Any hints on how I can scale all states without laboriously editing the content of every button state?
Cheers, Graham.

Graham,
Nice follow up on this, but watch out!
When you change that preference to "Adjust Scaling Percentage" anytime you scale text frames, you will create a situation where the point size changes but is displayed with the parenthetical amount.
For instance, if you scale 12 point text down 50%, the point size for text will be displayed as 12(6)pt.
Then if you want to change the text to 8 point, you would have to type in 16 points.
Obviously with this simple example the numbers are easy to figure out, but with other amounts it can get very complicated.

Cs 6 Having problems exporting buttons with rollover to dreamweaver

Im trying to export out of fireworks cs6 buttons with rollover and import into dreamweaver cs6. It looks good in dreamweaver until i view it in internet explorer here is what it comes out like.

When you created animated buttons in Fireworks and exported/imported them into Dreamweaver CS3, CS5 all worked well.
This is because CS3 and CS5 automatically added the required preload JavaScript to the hed tag of the document.
In CS6, this is not happening!
That is the major reason that your buttons do not work if you are used to doing it the way that we have for years.
As a test, I added the Head tag code that the old versions of CS generated in Dreamweaver and immediately my buttons worked.
It must be a program error in CS6 and I wonder if Adobe will be producing a fix for this?
The Head code is below:
<script type="text/javascript">

CS6 Having problems exporting buttons with rollover to dreamweaver

Using HTML exported from a graphics application in your pages is a very VERY bad idea. You see the result. The best approach is to create your graphics in FW, and use DW to build the HTML, not FW. The HTML function in FW is only useful as a way to quickly build a PROTOTYPE page for demonstration purposes, it's not suitable for use on a real web page.
Show us your code and we can fix this for you. Alternatively (and better), just use DW to apply your rollover to this image.

HELP: Photoshop Button Hover Rollover State Flickers (jumps) Upon First Preview

All photoshop buttons flicker (jump abruptly) before the rollover state is displayed in preview mode and in browser for the 1st time. After that the behavior is normal. The rollover and hover image displays without a flicker. Why all the graphics not preloaded to prevent this mega-annoying issue? Is there a work around?
I tried INSERT HTML option as an alternative to photoshop buttons using the following code, since it works flawlessly on other web building programs, but it doesn't even work in Adobe Muse. I am stock and don't know how to work around this issue.
<a href='Destination URL' target="_top" onmouseover="document.sub_but.src='http://yourdomain.com/onroll.jpg'" onmouseout="document.sub_but.src='http://yourdomain.com/normal.jpg'">
<img src="http://yourdomain.com/normal.jpg" width="281" height="55" border="0" alt="Move your mouse over me" name="sub_but">
</a>
I love the convenience of photoshop button but the results are truely unprofessional on first loading. Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a URL to a site using Photoshop buttons placed in Muse? My guess is that the images are very large and taking some time to load initially.

Flash buttons with out state

Hi there,
I'm trying to build a navigation sysytem like this:
http://www.bisazza.it/eng/index.html
(the one running along the bottom of the page).
The best I can do is here, though its not working properly:
http://www.giraffeads.com/clients/nz/button_test_3.htm
The flash file is here:
http://www.giraffeads.com/clients/nz/working/navigation_280406.fla
I'm using the following action script:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("mouseover");
on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay("mouseout");
on (release) {
getURL("
http://www.odysseyphotography.net");
..applied to an instance of the movie on the stage.
There are a couple of issues:
1) When you mouseover the button, the text moves downwards
but doesn't remain in that position (like:
http://www.bisazza.it/eng/index.html)
2) If you move the mouse away then back again the movie
restarts before finishing (resulting in jerky up and down movement)
3) You have to get the mouse exactly over the text for it to
work.. It'll be difficult to make it link to another page...
Any assistance or links to a tutorial would be much
appreciated!
Thanks
OP

add this to you movi clip
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse))
this.nextFrame();
else this.prevFrame();
on (release) {
getURL("
http://www.hotmail.com");
AND remove the "mousout" all frames in the movie clip,
Add a invisible rectangle behind the text for area you want
to sence with mouse
you can do it by draw rectangle > color mixer > alpha
to 0%
Then it's work finly, still if u dont understnd send me ur
email and ill send the fla
sorry, my bad english :-)

I'm glad you got it working! I was looking into it, and now I
don't have to.
Just a heads up though - some people don't like it when you
post the same question in two different sections. They're funny
about that. Problem is it pushes other legitimate questions down
the list, as well as complicating any discussion that comes out of
the question.
Chances are nobody will say anything though, unless they
spent a lot of time answering this one, then noticed that you
already got an answer on the other one.

Menu bar with rollover states not working properly

I have a menu bar that I want to have as a certain size. The
menu items that actually link somewhere are not showing up as the
designated size (150x50px) but the one link that is not linked to
somewhere else in the page looks fine (inventory).
Can someone look at the css and tell me if there is something
contradicting or if there is something I can do?
THank you
You can view the problem page at

Sorry, I don't have the answers - but you need to see your
site in IE6. It
looks quite different - kind of bloated. Also, the "Quality"
link doesn't
have an arrow.
"Inventory" as you say sits up at the top. FF is fine. Sorry
I can't help
though.

Interactive PDF rollover states flashing in Acrobat XI

Hello,
I am having a problem with an interactive PDF I created in Adobe InDesign and am viewing in Acrobat XI. Any buttons that I have created with rollover states are flashing (disappearing and reappearing) whenever I actually mouse over them. A previous PDF I created with rollovers doesn't experience this problem at all and works fine. The functionality of the buttons still works but the flashing is very frustrating and looks unprofessional and this is for a client deliverable... Would love to know if there is any fix for this. The buttons and rollovers were created in InDesign (they are not links) so I have no idea why it keeps doing that.
I am running Adobe InDesign CC 2014.1 (10.1.0.71) and Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10.
Thanks!

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?

Text frame rollover states in lightbox display comp widget trigger area no longer working in V 3.0

Hi
I had text frames with rollover states placed into the trigger area of lightbox display composition widgets
The rollover on the text worked fine, and then when clicked the lightbox composition widget opened
However this morning I updated Muse to the latest version 3.0 (which I was prompted to do) But now all these text frame rollover states no placed into the trigger areas of my lightbox dispslay composition widgets no longer work throughout my entire document
The lightbox will open when I click the text, but the rollover effect will no longer work
Is anyone having the same problem? Is there a way I can fix this? I was supposed to send the site to a client this morning :\
Thanks

Yes. I'm having the same type of trouble with a site I'm updating for a client. I haven't updated the site since before version 2.0.
But now that I've upgraded to version 3.0 my rollovers and linking for the rollovers don't work. Very strange. I too need to get
the site posted ASAP. Please someone help us on this subject.
thanks

PSD Rollover Button with image in front stops button from changing state

I have a wide PSD button that changes state when rolled over. I would like to place a PNG image with transparency in some areas over the top of it so that the rollover button shows through the transparent areas of the PNG.
How can you get it to do the rollover effect when the user mouses over the bit of the button that the image is in front of? Is ther a way of making the PNG 'invisible' to the mouse?
I know I could redesign the button so that it includes the image but I'm trying to keep file sizes and load times to a minimum, I use this button a lot on my website with a different on each, and having that number of individual buttons would result in a bloated, slow-loading website.

Hi Abhishek
Thanks for your reply. I was able to achieve the effect I wanted by having the PNG and the PSD Button with the same link and then grouping them. This means I can mouse over the PNG and still get the PSD rollover effect, which is perfect.
However I also have another similar problem. I have some different PSD Rollover Buttons which have some text in front of them (basically it's the button label). On some of these buttons when you roll over the text it prevents the rollover state of the button, and on other buttons the rollover effect occurs as it should, and there doesn't appear to be any consistency about which does what. Grouping or ungrouping doesn't appear to make a difference. Can you help?

¿Custom button with different size/shape for rollover state in Muse?

Hello, i'm trying to make a custom button, that has one size/shape when normal, and other size/shape when rollover.
The problem is that the area not visible in normal state is a hot area, so when then mouse rollover anywhere near, activates the button rollover state.
So i think what i need is mask or something like that
Is there a work around to do this? Is even possible in normal CSS - HTML5?
Here is the website:
http://www.audime.com/prueba/
And here what i'm talking about:
Thanks in advance!

I'm not fully understanding the screenshot, but what you're describing sounds more like a Composition:Tooltip widget than a button.

Muse: Change appearance with a rollover state button

Hi,
I'm a newbie user of Muse (demo actually), trying to duplicate a simple "mouseover' html effect in Muse with a state widget to control appearance of an overlay graphic element on a page. Can I pop in a gif on top of a base element (also gif) so it aligns properly?
What is required to simulate this simple mouseover effect? Is it going to involve a layer, or a state widget to control it? Both?? I viewed the method by which a background or text can be changed and assume that a similar thing can be done to a placed graphic- make it appear on mouseover (rollover). Alas, it doesn't seem to be. Can you help?

Thanks, Brad. I'll give that a try. mouseover widget doesn't cut it. Unless I can cascade them. I need to make the overlay appear and disappear on mouseover, if that makes sense. To see it work the 'old way' have a look here: Techworks Pro: Services
Once we figured it out, it was pretty simple to build. Muse has so far made it quite challenging! May be a learning curve.

Link to frame in button rollover state not working..

Hi guys,
What I use: Flash CS5 & Actionscript 3
So I had my buttons working just fine and linking to a frame. But after adding a rollover state in which my button has grown in size it no longer links.
Does anyone know how to get my buttons linking in their rollover state?

var someObject:MovieClip; // this is declared - only
var someObjectMovieClip = new MovieClip(); // this is declared and instantiated
Make sure your code uses aghains and not instancename like your code shows.
I don't think you understand the third and fifth items I listed either. The third is saying that the code is not in the same frame as the item it is trying to target. The fifth has to do with objects in consecutive frames, not linking.
If you followed what I mentioned in the last sentence you should have a line number indicated in the error message that will tell you which line is causing the problem. Whatever line that is, the object doesn't exist as far as the code sees it. So if it was the line...
instancename.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_28);
I can guarantee you that there is no object named instancename in the frame where you have that code since it is the only object targeted in that line of code.

Photoshop Button in Active State Returns to Normal After Rollover?

Hello,
I'm working on a glossary reference website in Muse, and have hit a roadblock with my photoshop buttons.
I have created menu buttons in Photoshop that have two different states - one for active and rollover, and another for normal and down (the button is actually saved with four different layers/states, one for each, but for what the user will see, it's really only two options). I've used these menu buttons as rollover triggers for blank compositions, and when the user rolls over the button, the name of the page appears below it, and then disappears on rollout (otherwise the names would overlap and it would look very cluttered).
The issue that I have found is that, when I preview the page in my browser, the buttons appear to function properly in that they show up in the active state indicating that the page that they are linked to is the one that they are on.
Initial View - Home Page:
...and when I rollover the image of the page that I am currently on, the button shows the name of the page as desired, like so:
However, when I rollout, the button reverts back to the normal/down state, even though I am still on the home page.
Below is a screenshot of the composition settings that I have set up for this widget. I tried switching the "Hide Target" to none, but since the target is referring to the word "Home", the word "Home" remained visible in addition to the button remaining in the active state, which is not what I want. I also tried selecting "Triggers on Top", but the issue was not solved here either.
What am I missing? How can I make sure that my button remains in the active state when on the page that it is linked to?
Thanks for your help!
Rachel

Sounds like a bug that's the fallout of the overloaded meaning of "Active" state. "Active" is both the state used for an item with a hyperlink applied that points to the current page (or an anchor point in the current scroll range on the current page) and the state used for a trigger or thumbnail in a Composition or Slideshow widget that corresponds to the a current active item in the composition or slideshow.
It appears we honor the hyperlink definition of "Active" on page load for a composition trigger with a hyperlink to the current page applied, but don't honor that definition of active when transition to having no items in the composition active (or presumable when transition to having a different item in the composition active).
The only workaround that comes to mind would be the very tedious approach of replicating this composition widget on each page, removing the hyperlink on the "active" trigger and manually formatting it's "Normal" state to appear active.
I've written up the bug. However, it may not get fixed immediately. (We tend to collect smaller fixes in an area and then address them all at once or when other changes are planned in that area, due to the overhead involved in ramping up to work on an area and thoroughly retest it after changes.)

When hovering over button text it does not show button rollover state

Hi
I'm new to captivate and I'm looking for some help please. I have created buttons with Adobe Flash and saved them in PNG format, I have created an upState, overState and downState. These are working really well when I use them in Captivate. However when I add text to my buttons and rollover the text the buttons don't change state. They only change state when I hover over the button itself (a bit without the text).
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

No, if you cover up with text, and user clicks on text, the rollover state will not function.
I have another work flow for translation (have tutorials in several languages as well). In previous versions I used Photoshop to create buttons, using layers and having the Text layer separately, so that to translate I only needed to change that layer. But I created the regular Captivate buttons (needing three PNG's for 3 states).
In Captivate 6 I have almost replaced all butons by Smart Shapes used as button. Since the double as text containers, translating is now done in Captivate itself. But those shape buttons do not have a rollover functionality, can cope with that, I opt to show the hand cursor.
Really, cannot help you if you want to stick with Flash buttons that have to be layered under a text caption, unless you make the flash button transparent where the Text has to go, so that you can put the text under the Flash button.
