Scaling buttons with text

Hello,
I work with the brand new fireworks CS6.
I would like to make a simple navigation with 5 buttons. But there is a big problem with the scaling of text. Even if i place buttons of the standard library i can't scale correct !!!!
After scaling the text is no more centered (vertical and/or horizontal).
When i write long text in a button i got some horrible scaling effects.
I tried to fix this problems many hours because i can't believe that such a basic function doesn't work.
In my symbols (buttons) i centered the text and the rectangle exactly (horizontal and vertical).
Do i have to change something in my properties?  
Thanks,
psek

Dear Linus,
I think the 9-slice guides does not take effect to Text. They take effect only on forms. In my case i have a rectangle with text inside. The 9-slice guides are only for the rectangle relevant.
As explained it even doesn't works with the buttons from the fireworks standard library.

  • Creating a button with text in FlashCS5

    I am fairly new with using FlashCS5.  I just finished the class and created a button with text in it for class but now when I need to do it for a project I can't seem to get it to work.
    I am trying to create a simple start and stop button to start and stop a Flash movie.  I can get the buttons to work without any text, such as the word start and stop in the middle of each.  Everything I've tried to do with the text on the button turns out the same.
    What happens is that in Flash the buttons appear to work fine.  The little hand with the finger shows no matter where I place my cursor on the button but when I test them the area where the text is does not allow the click to work.  I have tried specifying a hit area and made sure that the hit area was larger than the entire button but still the middle where the text is doesn't work.   Outside of the text area works fine.
    Any ideas?  I've spent 4 hours on this.

    Thank you for the reply but what I am doing is much simpler.  I am creating a gray rectangle and putting text in the center.  I am then selecting both the rectangle and the text and converting it to a button.  I am then editing the button from the library and adding a keyframe to the hit area, drawing a rectangle around the button to establish the hit area.
    I am enabling simple buttons and when in Flash it appears fine.  It is when I test that the area where the text is doesn't function as clickable.

  • Button with text UNDER the icon

    Ho,
    I want to create a square button, where the text is UNDER the icon.
    Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write my own component?
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Use ID in your button. Suppose i have used buttonId then my CSS will look like this.
    <style type="text/css">
    #buttonId-img.sapUiIcon {
    text-align: center;
    display: block;
    vertical-align: top;
    line-height: 100%;
    #buttonId.sapMBtn  {
    height: 5.0rem;
    min-width: 5.0rem;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    vertical-align: top;
    background-color: #f7f7f7;
    border: 1px solid #bfbfbf;
    color: #333333;
    text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #ffffff;
    font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size: 0.875rem;
    .sapMBtnContent>.sapUiIcon {
    color: #666666;
    font-size: 1.375rem;
    line-height: 2.875rem;
    width: 2.875rem;

    margin: auto;
    </style>
    This is screenshot.
    Id of first button id buttonId and for second is button1Id.
    This is view code now.

  • Printing Buttons with Images

    In my application, I am attempting to print a document that has both buttons with text and buttons with images, along with plain text.
    When I print, the buttons with the images are larger than they ought to be (i.e. they don't fit within the area they were suppose to be drawn within (btw, for this application, I am using absolute positioning)).
    However, this does NOT occur with the buttons that have only text and no image.
    Can anybody tell me why this might be? It seems that to printing a JButton comes from the functionallity of JComponent.print, which simply sets a few printing flags and calls JComponent.paint.
    So whatever changes those flags make, I would think they ought to effect all buttons the same?
    Has anybody else run into this problem, and possibly found a solution for it?

    myJButton.setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(<width>,<height>));
    that line should do it. keep in mind that that will not resize your image. since you are using absolute positioning I will assume your button is of constant size. you should manually resize your images to be of the proper size for your buttons.

  • 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.

  • I'm having problem with text boxes.  Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line.  Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

    You are absolutely right.  Thought Enter meant Enter.  I was wrong.  Thank you for the help.

    Hi Paul ,
    It could be a compatibility issue as well as Acrobat 8 is an older version.
    Do you get any error message while registering for the product?
    Try repairing it and once and also check for updates as well.
    Is it happening with all the word files or any specific one'?

  • Creating a button with a text label layer

    Hi guys.  Looking for any tips on how best to implement a button with a text label.  I initially created a rectangle object on a lower layer and with text in the upper layer via type tool.  When I group both objects and create the button the text is readable in my InDesign (document) computer screen but the minute I preview it on my iPad the button becomes unreadable and pixellated.  I tried various approaches by moving the text layer outside the button group does not display the text at all.  Has anyone run into this issue?  If so what is the best practice?  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the insight Neil.  Regarding my button design its nothing fancy.  Its a rectangle box on one layer and a text label on another layer inside the rectangle object.  What I'm trying to simulate is when the user taps on the button the click state will change colour to notify the user that they have activated an event and in this case a navto://...
    The way I've implemented it is the rectangle is coloured pink [Normal] and when tapped the light pink [Click] toggles between both colours BUT my text label disappears.

  • Button with pre element text is given a container div

    Hi!
    Just installed 4.2.2.00.09 and imported a workspace and an application. Worked fine.
    I noted a page display difference when compared to the exported application (4.1.0.00.32). I have (so far) found this:
    If I have a button with Pre Element Text set to <div class="dummy"> and Post Element Text set to </div>, Apex generates an extra div around it all.
    If my button was named P1_SUBMIT I end up with
    <div id="P1_SUBMIT_CONTAINER">
    <div class="dummy"> <input type="button" value="Search" id="P1_SUBMIT" /></div>
    </div>
    Is it possible for me to turn this extra div off?
    Kind regards
    Tomas

    Hi,
    Change the "Number of Columns" setting in the "List of Values" where you define the 1,2,3,4,5 to "5", and you'll be all set.

  • Button wont work properly with text.

    Hello,
    I've been having a problem getting my buttons to work with
    text.
    What I'm doing:
    1) I create a Circle graphic
    2) I put some text over it (on the same layer)
    3) I highlight the circle and the text and convert to symbol.
    4) I then set the over, down, and hit states
    When I turn on enable simple buttons it works perfectly on
    the stage. But when I test the movie the text blocks the mouse
    pointer from changing states. It'll change in-between the text, but
    not over.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Your text must be dynamic text rather than static text. Make
    sure the text is not "selectable" and then it won't interfere with
    the button. If you click on the text in the button, look down at
    the bottom of the screen for the properties panel. You should see a
    little Ab in a square. If it is highlighted, the text is
    selectable. Click that Ab button to make it unselectable. If your
    text is input text, then you are out of luck because input text, by
    definition, is always selectable.

  • Help with cfinput radio button and text fields

    I have a series of radio buttons that allow a user to select
    monetary values but I also want them to be able to define an amount
    if they choose so. I was planning on doing this by providing a
    radio button with the value of other and then using a text field to
    allow the user to enter the monetary value. The problem with this
    is that they might enter a user defined monetary value but forget
    to set the radio button to "other".
    I was hoping that I could set the "other" text input field to
    read only until the point that the user selects the "other" radio
    button. Is there a way to do this using onSelect or another method.
    Or is there a better way to approach this problem? Thanks for any
    help or advice in advance.

    Hi,
    You could call a js function which will select the radio
    button "other " when the user types something in(there are various
    events on cfinput). This way the user will not have to worry about
    selecting the radio button and your requirement will be satisfied.
    Hope this Helps.

  • Pop-up to display single button with some text

    Hi gurus,
    I need a pop-up to be displayed when MIGO is posted using an exit EXIT_SAPMM07M_001 .The pop-up window should contain the following .
    line 1: TEXT1 with <variable1 in run time>
    line 2 : TEXT2 with <variable2 in run time>
    line 3: one push button (OK button)
    Please help me to find any suitable function module is available .Or any other solution(like screen design).
    Thanks in advance.
    Anupama.

    Why dont you use Informational message which does exactly what you want to do.
    Just take 1 or 2 variables with type string and get the information (text1, text2) run time - Concatenate them into a message then display message like
    Message i000(message class) with <variable with text>.
    instead of having a button for OK - just userhas to press enter - this will serves the purpose. When you want to 2 buttons go forr function module POPUP_TO_CONFIRM.

  • I want to save a shape with text as a picture

    I am using Word for Mac. I want to combine images with text and save it all together as a picture or jpeg file.  I am using a shape and inserted the images and added the text.  I know I have done this before but I can't remember what I did. I thought it had to do with how the shape is formatted, but I have tried all the options and the option to "save as picture" is never available.  I also tried inserting shapes and texts together in a text box.  I tried grouping everything.  I hope one of you brilliant people can help!  Thanks.

    I am using Word for Mac. I want to combine images with text and save it all together as a picture or jpeg file.
    You could try a detour via a PDF document and Preview: 
    In Word use "File > Print" and press the "PDF" button in the lower left corner. Then select "Open in Preview".  This will open your image in Preview.  There you can crop it and export the cropped image as a png file or a jpeg using "File > Export". Select a different format in the "Format" pop-up menu:
