Script wont work after building/burning dvd

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with a HUGE dvd-project I'm working on at the moment. It's a compilation dvd with 50 different short videos and approximately 55 menus. a large part of the 50 videos is connected through the menus with 201 unique buttons.
First I made different stories to be sure the viewer gets directed to the menu he/she came from when a video ends. But because the project became too big (99 tracks and or stories is the maximum) I got into scripting.
I thought I actually managed to write the right scripts, but now it seems that a stand alone dvd-player doesn't recognize the scripts. Every time a video ends or I use the menu button on the remote control the (first) main menu appears.
*So my question for all the friendly folks out there on the other end of the glass fiber-cable is: What can I do to make it work? Is this a problem someone recognizes? Is it my scripting? Is there a way to work around scripting?*
If you need more info please let me know. I wanted to keep it as short as possible at first, but I can elaborate some more if needed.
thanks in advance
ciao!

As already said, the pre-scripting is usually the culprit... and as StudioX said, I \did leave much of the detail out in that article, which was intended to build on from other sources, such as the manual!
If you remove the setting which puts the scripts as prescripts, and be explicit with the menu jumps (i.e. write them out in full each time and don't rely on 'current item' and dividing by '32'), then the scripting should work.
Additionally, the script lines you quote in your prescript may not work, depending on where you are in the disc when they are run. The very first script you create will have a value of 63489, which when you divide by 32 gives just over 1984, so will be rounded to either 1984 or 1985. Since this does not equate to any menu item then the jump cannot work, since GPRM3 will never be equal to '1'. As a result the disc reverts to the main menu.
To make this more reliable you need to work out the value of the last item, which if it is track or story 1 will be 49280. Story 2 in track 1 will be 49408, story 3 49536. This continues even if you then go to a new track. Knowing this the maths then to get to a menu is easier.
If you 'get last item' and know that you are coming from a track or story then you can subtract 49280 and divide by 128. If you are on track or story 1 then the result is zero. Otherwise it is going to be 1, 2, 3, etc. If you know which clips you access from each menu then you can add a series of 'if' statements, for example:
Jump menu1 If (GPRM3 <= 20)
Which would mean anything up to your first 20 clips would send you back to menu1.
You can then add in the button jump before this statement and you should be getting closer to what you need.

  • "Write Key.vi" wont work after build

    I am having dificulty with the "Write Key.vi"  I am using it to save calibration values to an .ini file. This works fine when running in development mode but after I build it into a standalone exe it doesn't work. It will create the file in the correct folder but it is empty. I have no idea how to start figuing this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is the code that saves the configuration values into the .ini file. I am using LabVIEW 8.0

    One other thing to mention is that KB is for LabVIEW 8.2.  In 2009 and 2010 a built EXE by default may have VIs referenced deeper than just one level.  You can keep stripping the path until a directory is found, or an easier solution is to check the box in the Advanced section that is "Use LabVIEW 8.x file layout" which then makes that KB valid again.

  • Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work?

    I tried to play a game I love & I got this message: "To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed" So I went to your site to update my flash player & hit the "Test Flash Player" button & it came up
    like this^^. I went to the suggestions your site provided & went to Manage add-ons to look for Shockwave Flash Object to enable it:
    You can see that it is enabled by this picture I have provided. So it also asks me to make sure that ActiveX isn't clicked on & so I did:
    As you can see it's turned off & I even tried it the other way where it has the spot checked & it still wont play. So I decided to see if I could reinstall it onto my computer & so in turn I got this message:
    That is the message I got even after trying to delete Flash Player & reinstalling it. Now you can see my frustration with all this. Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work? I have a Windows 8.1 Pro, I use Internet Explorer which has the latest version on it, which is Windows Explorer 11 Version: 11.0.9600.17498 & I was also under the understanding that I also had the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on this computer as well. Can someone tell me what to do??

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Mac mini screen wont work after lion

    My hdmi connection to my tv wont work after installing lion last night. It worked once last night but hasnt worked since. All cables are in tact and computer is set up the same. I cant even see anything to fix it!

    I called apple - I'd have been in trouble if my mac had been my only internet access!
    I had to reset the P-RAM
    as so:
    mac is powered off
    turn on power then instantly press keys: command option P R
    the mac will chime as usual then on the second chime let go of the keys.
    After this my screen worked again.
    For info - command key is cmd, option key is alt
    I did this with an old mac wired keyboard - not sure if it will work on bluetooth keyboard, but it might.

  • Ipad apps wont work after downloading update 5.1.1

    My I pad apps wont work after I downloaded OS update 5.1.1
    I have tried restoring, but it doesn't solve the problem.

    Hi
    I had the same problem since I updated, the iPad shows "No Sim" I have taken it out, put it back in after cleaning it! All the usual possible solutions that everyone else has tried? So I have not been able to connect for over a week now and I intended to pop into the Apple geek guys to let them have a look, but was scared that they might suggest it would have to be sent away!!! What would I do?. So last night I was fiddling around with the IPad and thought I would try something, AND GUESS WHAT! It works!!!!
    This is what I had done
    1. Take the SIM out of the IPad
    2. Leaving the SIM out, turn the Ipad off using the Home and power button at the same time, do this 4 times
    3. Now insert the SIM back in it then found my SIM
    I cannot confirm the is the ultimate cure, but it worked for me and I have tried all the other possible solutions, it's worth a try?

  • Satellite Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

    my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
    what do i do?

    Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
    Did you flash the BIOS properly?
    Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
    In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
    Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own

  • JQuery script not working after DW update

    After updating to the latest DreamWeaver Version 12 build 5861 a jQuery script for collapsible panels no longer works.
    I had used the script many times in the past few years on various sites and when I open the html and php pages I created in the past the script still runs in Live View and as a web page.
    As I mentioned above since I updated to build 5861 the script no longer works for any new pages I create. I used FireFox view source to confirm the links to the jQuery engine and the actual script are correct. I have placed the engine script link above the actual script, as well as deleted additional links to other engines used by other plug-ins.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    I discovered the cause but not the solution.
    After the update and the creation of a new site the first element I created involved a jQuery script and when I went to check it's functionality it failed. I have been mostly obsessing on getting various scripts to work. As I mentioned if I placed the code in the head all was fine, if I linked to a script file it failed and according to FireFox view source the html was linked to the file.
    Well a few minutes ago I bypassed the script issue and placed an image in a document and saw that Dreamweaver wrote the code as a absolute path to the image rather than a relative path.
    Before the update DW accepted a relative path for the scripts such as:
        <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/diQuery-collapsiblePanel.js"></script>
    After the update I can get the scripts to work if I enter absolute paths:
        <script src="http://localhost/panel/scripts/diQuery-collapsiblePanel.js"></script>
    The funny thing is that the CSS files work fine with relative paths.
    I thought perhaps I set the site up incorrectly and had the links referencing the Site Root instead of the document but thats not the case. It is set to Document and should be creating Relative paths to images.
    I can not see any other Preference settings involving the way paths are written. I would really like to get back to Relative paths for all elements.
    Any thoughts?

  • 'Access denied' when attempting to build/burn DVD, please help, urgent/desperate!

    Recently bought CS3, overjoyed with most of it. Encore is giving me serious trouble though at the moment! The problem is that it simply will not burn to a dual layer disc! When we try to burn it to disc it begins the process, wizzing through different elements, then when it gets to 'sorting files'it stops with the message 'Access Denied' If we split the Wedding video in half it will burn to a standard DVD, but it will not burn to dual layer.We installed an additional, external writer in case the problem was with the hardware, but again it would not burn to dual layer. We attempted to build the dvd as an 'image' to the harddrive to then burn to dual layer through nero. This worked for a much smaller file, but when we tried to burn the larger file to the harddrive as an Image, 'Access Denied'!! We've tried everything we can think of, ...but if anyone else can think of a way to fix this, please let us know as we are in the final stages of the video project for a client and simply cannot get the project onto disc! When we 'check project', there are no errors listed. We've tried transcoding it to 7gb 1pass, and importing it from Premire pro without transcoding it, thereby letting Encore set the settings, but no joy. Thanks, Justin.

    Rather than disabling UAC (or turning it down in Win7), just run Encore as Administrator.  Right-click, and select Run As Administrator.  Works fine for me in Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  Doing it this way you still get the benefits of UAC.

  • Button wont work after Swipe

    Hello everybody,
    I have this script to scroll a movieclip on Ipad:
    import fl.transitions.Tween;
    import fl.transitions.easing.*;
    text_asco.addEventListener(TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, onSwipe8);
    function onSwipe8 (e:TransformGestureEvent):void{
    if (e.offsetY == 1) {
    if(text_asco.y <= 100){
    var RightTween:Tween = new Tween(text_asco, "y", Regular.easeOut, text_asco.y, text_asco.y+200, 0.5, true);
    if (e.offsetY == -1) {
    var LeftTween:Tween = new Tween(text_asco, "y", Regular.easeOut, text_asco.y, text_asco.y-200, 0.5, true);
    And then I have some buttons that moves in Timeline, so if the user press chapter one in a menu then it jumps on the timeline so the scrollable movieclip is place at chapter one. But my problem is that when I have used the Swipe gesture the buttons wont work anymore.
    This is my code for ons of the button:
    a.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, a_Click, false, 0, true);
    function a_Click(event:MouseEvent) { gotoAndStop("asco");
    WHAT IS WRONG???

    I do not think it's the software. It may be a keyboard problem in which case the post about resetting PRAM should fix it.
    In the meantime, you can (or should be able to) reject the disk using the Terminal.
    Here's a link to a page with a few Terminal commands to eject the DVD.
    They work for me.
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20041011075232575
    If you can eject the DVD from the Terminal, then it's most likely not the software.
    Here's the one I like:
    Enabling an Eject menu As a side note, you can enable another means of ejecting disks by opening the folder System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras and double-clicking the file "Eject.menu". An eject icon will appear in the menubar that can be used to close and open selected optical drives.

  • Print VI front panel to file does not work after building executable.

    I am using a property and invoke node to print the front panel of my VI to an HTML file.  It works fine in the development mode. After Building the application, this subvi will no longer
    print the front panel.  Is there some special files that included in the build??

    You can use the Report Generation VIs to generate the HTML report.  Specifically, you could use Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi and Save Report to File.vi to save the image of the panel to an HTML report.
    Check out the examples in examples\reports to get a better idea how to use these VIs if you've never used them before.
    Good luck,

    What error message if any did you get? It could be a couple things:
    1. Did you include the Report Toolkit's dynamic vis in the app's build process?
    Ref: Error 7 when Running an .EXE Using VIs from Report Generation Toolkit for MS Office
    2. How are you giving the path to you custom template, as a relative or an absolute path? The path will be different for the .exe. You have to strip twice.
