Super Widgets: placing lightbox display inside a basic slideshow?

Is it possible to place a lightbox display inside of a basic slideshow?
I have a rotating group of nine images and text inside of a basic slideshow, these images are thumbnails of motion graphic videos I have uploaded to youtube. I would like to be able to hotspot either the text, thumbnail or box, to open the corresponding video in a lightbox; but I can't seem to insert the lightbox into the basic slider.
Is there another way around this? Am I using the wrong widgets? I've tried to use the lightbox alone, but I was not able to upload a thumbnail and video at the same time.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi there.
It is not possible to place a Lighbox widget in a Slideshow widget, but you could achieve the same effect by placing a Lightbox widget in a Composition Slideshow widget (look in the Compositions folder). Many of the same slideshow effects can be achieved, yet it allows widget nesting.
Let me know how that goes.

Getting Compositions' Lightbox Display Widget (Horizontal accordion) to close

Hi,
I'm trying to acheive something similar to this: http://www.visualarms.com/store/sites/mobilemenus/sliding-menu.html but I can't get the stacked or scattered positioned Lightbox Display to close. Any tips? Thank you.
~Withalboy

I created this effect using the “Basic” tool in the “Slideshow widgets library”
I used two slideshow images.
IMAGE ONE
The first slideshow image on the screen is setup without any background/outline fill.
Since this shows automatically when you first display the page.
The trigger is also set to no outline/fill (its active state).
The text I added is also set with no fill. (its active state)
The second slideshow image has the trigger menu with a grey background,
IMAGE TWO
When you activate the menu button (or trigger), the second slideshow image appears with the Menu item widget placed inside. The first slideshow button highlighted in grey now appears with the text “close” showing. (both set as its normal states). When you mark close button the menu will slide off the screen and the “close text and highlight box will disappear.
Note: this setup will have to be placed on every slide, since placing it on the master page will default to the back.

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

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

How can I change the order of thumbnails so it affects the order in the lightbox when using the composition widget - lightbox display?

Hi, I'm making my portfolio in Muse, and I'm using the composition widget - lightbox display. I imported all the images and then I wanted to reorganize the thumbnails - and when I do that, the order in the lightbox doesn't change and so it's not the same as the order of the thumbnails (after rearranging them). Please let me know if there is a way to fix this quickly, or do I have to do it all one more time

The order the items display in a composition widget is the front to back order of the items. You can rearrange the stacking order of the thumbnails/triggers using the Layers panel and/or the Object > Bring To Front, Send To Back, etc. menu items to adjust the order they're displayed during auto play or when clicking the next/previous buttons.

Why can't I reduce the height of my container box in the Lightbox Display composition widget?

I'm using the Lightbox Display composition widget, I would like to place my trigger at the bottom of my lightbox, I've reduced the height of my image frame but the container box cannot be reduced accordingly. I need to reduce the height of the container box or my triggers will be hidden behind the box. Please advice, thank you.

Hi,
When you insert the light box display, by default it has 3 slides with different components like trigger, container, target, image frame, text box, next button, preview button. You have to change the dimensions for all components for these default 3 images one by one.
Or you can delete 2 of the triggers (that will resul in deleting all of their components from the widget), then you are left with only one image and its components. Later, you can add more images to lightbox display.
Resize the components as per following video:
http://gauravr183.businesscatalyst.com/images/2013-09-26_1440.swf
The steps are, after you have added the widget on the page:
Delete the triggers.
Then select Image frame, resize it. Move close button near it (the 'X' button), resize the text box,resize next and previous buttons and move all of these near the image frame.
Then click on the image frame, till you get "Target" area selected, resize target area and container will be resized automatically.

Can an image in the slideshow widgets be moved around inside the bounding box as can be in a normal image placed into Muse (double clicking on a placed image gives the functionality to move the image around - as per Indesign functionality)

Update - Lightbox Display Centering Issue

Upon updating my Adobe Muse software, it appears its created an issue that effects my lightbox display composition widgets. They don't seems to be centered in the webpage anylonger? Help?

Hi Mark,
Unfortunately you hit a bug that causes the lightbox to be off center. This happens if the Target inside the Container for each Composition widget has different strokes for different states.
Until we release a fix for the bug, please make sure you use the same stroke for all the states of a Target, or do not use a stroke at all for that Target. In your case, the Normal/Rollover/Mouse Down states all have a red stroke, while the Active state has no stroke. You can easily select each Target using Layers panel, and then from the states panel select the Active state and use the delete button from the lower-right corner to clear that state's customizations, including stroke.
Sorry about the inconvenience. Let us know if workaround fixes the issue for you.

Help with configuring lightbox displays

Can anyone point me to some detailed explanation of how to configure a lightbox (nested in a slide show) - when I preview in browser the images are not central, and the black doesn't cover the whole page when viewed on an iPad.
I'm pretty sure this is not a bug, just inexperience on my part, and I'd love to see a breakdown of best settings for all the elements in a lightbox.
For instance, the black background square - I've dragged that to fill the page width and height, but is this necessary? I've tried various iterations of size and placement of this in design view, but can't quite how (or even if) that effects the way the lightbox displays in browser
And I'm aligning the images in the lightbox sideshow with the centre of the page in design view, but they don't seem central when the sideshow is previewed in browser.
Whilst there are a few tutorials that cover creating light boxes, I've not seen anything that explains the configuration in detail. In essence I feel like I'm looking for a user guide, the kind of thing that used to come with boxed copies of Adobe and Macromedia software, so I can teach myself from the ground up; does any such thing exist online?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Parikshit,
apologies, I got my description the wrong way round (can't see a way to edit my original post). I'm talking about a slideshow nested in a lightbox - just like the post you pointed me to. I had seen that post, but it doesn't answer my query really.
What I'd like to be able to do is in design mode, whilst editing the slideshow, have some sense of how these images are going to appear when I see them in a browser, without having to flip back and forth between design and preview modes.
For instance if I want to have the image centred within the browser window - do I need to centre the hero image within the slideshow container? The slideshow widget within the lightbox container? Or should I use the guide rectangle (don't know what it's called, or even what it is!) that appears on the page when I have guides switched on, as a guide to placement of slideshow images. I'm sure it's basic stuff, I just wondered if there was a user guide that I could reference when I want to figure out how to do a particular thing,
cheers

Lightbox Display - lost 'next' button

Hello.
I'm using the 'Composition > Lightbox Display' widget and i'm having trouble replacing the previous/next image buttons that should appear with the image once triggered.
I have tried selecting and deselecting the option "Show Prev" etc. but the button still isn't anywhere to be seen.
As far as i know i haven't deleted these buttons, they have simply vanished. Please help me locate/replace them!
-Cheers

Hi,
Please check this small video that we have made to demonstrate how you can find the button, http://project02.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2012-05-01_2359.swf
Here are the facts:
1. Even if you accidentally delete the buttons you can bring them back by selecting the show options, by clicking on the small blue arrow.
2. Since, you have already tried that, it is also possible that you have send the buttons back accidentally. So, you can try to move the lightbox and hero around to see if you can find it or use the arrange feature as shown in the video to bring it to the front.

Question - composition lightbox display bug

When I add additional triggers to the composition lightbox display the caption boxes on the additional containers disappear. They appear with the original 3 triggers that come with the widget, but they are not present on any other additional triggers. ???

Hello,
In the composition Lightbox Display, caption is nothing but a Text Frame. You can go to any previous Target > select the caption text frame > copy it > Paste it in New target.

A Problem with the Lightbox Display since the update.

I use the lightbox display widget within the featured news widget. Since the update when I add the lightbox to an image it appears on all the featured news tabs when it should only be on the tab I place it in. This didn't happen before the update. Any ideas why this would be or how I can correct it. Strangely, the images with a lightbox made before the update are fine.

I'm unable to reproduce the problem. Can you try re-inserting the Featured News Composition widget on a page and after removing the Text frame (optional step) from the Target of the first tab, insert the Composition: Lightbox Display into the Target of the first tab. Then try switching between the tabs in Design mode and see if the problem persists at your end, also try a preview in browser. The Lightbox Display should appear only for the first tab and other Targets should remain untouched.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Find the Window that a component is being displayed inside of?

Hello all. I need to find out if a component is being displayed inside of a Window (or JWindow/Frame/JFrame). I need to get the reference for the window component that the component is in.
I've tried using various combinations of methods in SwingUtilities, as well as Component.getParent(), etc., and can't seem to be able to get what I am looking for.
For example, I have a JPanel nested inside of another JPanel that is nested inside of a JFrame, and I want to get a reference of the JFrame. If I use a getParent() call recursively I only get to the parent JPanel, and not to the JFrame.
I'm trying to write a generic method in my extended JPanel class that determines if its sitting inside of a Window/JWindow/Frame/JFrame, and if so, if the window has a JMenuBar. Specifically I'm trying to get a list of all JMenu objects that a window may have that my JPanel subclass is sitting inside (don't want to assign a mnemonic value if its already being used by a JMenu object).
Any advice/information would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

Yeah, but when the human being runs the app, they see
my panel inside of the window of the application they
are running! :pThe only explanation I can think of is if you're running as an applet it will appear in firefox or IE or whatever but have no window ancestor.
Try doing
Container con = getParent();
while (!(con instanceof Window) con = con.getParent();It sounds like you've got some silly bug somewhere...

Tooltip Trigger for Lightbox Display

Is it possible to have a tooltip as a lightbox trigger?
In other words, you hover over the trigger and a tooltip pops up, click the trigger and a lightbox display appears.
My goal is to have an image of a hand pointing at the trigger when you roll over it, and disappear when you move your mouse off. Click the trigger and a lightbox display appears with more information.

how do i change it so that when the page loads that text frame loads normal state? i can't seem to get this particular txt frame to do that. all the others do it. i've deleted it, copied another, made it from scratch- this last one always seems to load in active state
also, after coming out of the lightbox- is it possible to make the txt frame return to normal state?

Getting rid of place holder image in basic slideshow??

hey so i have placed a basic slideshow widget and placed my images into it but when it plays through in preview it is still including and showing the placeholder image of the black and white flower. is there a way i can remove this?
thanks for any anyhelp.

In design view, use the next and/or previous buttons to cycle through the images. Use the pointer tool to highlight the ones you don't want then press delete.

In iPhoto (09) I can add a description to a photo which will display when running the slideshow, however when I sync the Album to my iPad and I run slideshow the description does not display, WHY?

I'd ask that on the iPad forum.
