Synaptics Clickpad Button Movement

Alright, quick question. I just bought a new HP computer with a Synaptics Clickpad (V7.4?) and this is the only thing bothering me about this computer so far. I notice that moving my finger anywhere on the mousepad causes the cursor to move, including on the right and left buttons at the bottom of the mousepad. Is it possible to turn off some setting that will prevent the cursor from moving if I have a finger moving on the bottom buttons and only allow movement in the area above them (which is how every laptop I've ever used works)? It's not a huge deal, and I can adapt if it isn't possible, but I like to scroll with my middle finger and have my index finger on the left button. Doing this right now doesn't quite work right unless I keep my index finger absolutely still.

I just installed my Rosetta Stone French program last night so it will take me a while before I can understand what that says. However, Google offers an instant translation for me:
hello
I have a 4525 probook and I have the same problem with the ClickPad, buttons left and right are also scroll zone
I try to find a solution so that those is a normal function without moving
I looked in settings but no solutions
thank you,
All I know is when I RIGHT click on the Synaptics icon in the lower right of the Windows taskbar on my notebook and select 'Properties' it brings up a box with several tabs. When I click on the tab marked 'Device Settings' it opens a window with a 'Settings' box in it. When I click on the 'Settings' box a whole lot of things become available to change. This includes the touchpad sensitivity, the touchpad sensing area size and many other options. If yours does not have this you might try updating your Synaptics driver and see if it helps.

Synaptics Clickpad V7.4 Button Movement

My issue is with the response of the clickpad on my new dm4 laptop with Windows 7 pro. I have a problem adapting to inadvertant cursor movement while attempting to use the left click button. Others have posted similar comments. As I review the fix suggestions, I am unable to figure out how to perform the adjustments to sensor area & pressure. I can't find the place, tablocation, whatever you call it... that allows me to make the clickpad usable to me. I need specific steps to follow. I would greatly appreciate some help.
Thanks

My daughter's new Envy 6 Sleekbook with Synaptics ClickPad had the same problem. I finally got the left-click and right-click buttons to stop moving the mouse pointer. These are the steps I did. Might not all be essential, but I'm certainly not going to go back and experiment.
1. Re-install the latest driver (currently 16.0.5.1). I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I already had the 16.0.5.1 driver, but re-installing it seemed to be part of the solution. I downloaded sp57109.exe, run it, and rebooted after a few minutes.
2. Control Panel >> Mouse >> ClickPad Settings >> TouchPad Settings >> SmartSense >> (click Gears)
3. SmartSense slider to MAX.
4. Both boxes checked (Restrict pointing & tapping to zone)
5. Adjust the zone. The whole touchpad will be active for this setup.
6. Set Filter Activation Time to 0 seconds.
7. Click Close, OK, OK.
Now, of course, since I dared mess with it again to document it for y'all ... it's back to moving the mouse on the buttons. I'll try again. Good luck!

Unable to edit Flash file - Can't enter inside buttons/movie clips.

Hi
I am in the middle of creating a website using Flash CS5. I opened up my .Fla file one day to continue my work but I am no unable to access buttons and movie clips. When creating movie clips or buttons I am unable to get inside them, when I hover my mouse over them there is a white hand icon which never used to be there it was always just a normal mouse icon. I double click to enter inside the buttons/movie clips but nothing happens. This happens to existing movie clips and buttons on the page and even when I create new ones. Can anyone please help.. I really don't wanna have to start this website again!!
thanks!

Hi,
This would normally happen when you have a Button symbol on stage and the 'Enable Simple Buttons' setting is enabled.
Can you check in your Control menu, if the option 'Enable Simple Buttons' is enabled? If it is, click on the option to disable it and then try double clicking on your symbols.
In case you still face the issue, can you send across your test file for investigation.
Thanks!

Button movie clip

hello,
i am building a full flash site, and i have created animated
buttons seperatley,outwith the main fla, and i have imported them
into the main timeline. The button file is a movie clip,and works
beautifully when testing from its own fla,but it does not work (no
animation on roll over) when i embed it into my main site. Below i
have trhe action script
On top level main timeline,where movie clips reside,in one
keyframe -
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
this.onRollOver = function(){
rewind = false;
play();
this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
this.onRelease = function(){
getURL("
http://www.kirupa.com","_blank");
within each button movie clip
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
this.onRollOver = function(){
rewind = false;
play();
this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
this.onRelease = function(){
getURL("

any ideas ?
hope you can help !

This is what I came up with and it seems to work... can this
be refined and improved on?
For example, what if I want it to return to its original
value when clicked a second time?

Home button moves on my ipod touch 1st gen

i'm from Romania and i got an iPod touch 1st generation 8gb. i read that if the ipod doesn't compair to factory standard(in which case my home button moves a round) i can take it to get it fixed. i really would like to have it fiex, the warranty status says that its in warranty until 20th october. i did take it to a premium reseller in my town and they told me to try to get a hold of the receipt. i don't have a receipt and was wonderin if therese any chance that apple could email me a copy or something like that, is there any way of doing that, could somebody help me out? thank you

Greetings! I am not certain those who read these are going to know what you really mean by "home button moving around" since the home button is physically set into the iPod...it really cant "move around"... so...could you amplify a little more?

Button Movie Clips Loops Ad Nauseum

Greetings
I have a button that is a movie clip that is set up with animations triggered with MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT event listeners. The glitch is that once the mouse is over the button ... each ensuing pixel that the mouse is moved, loops the animation again. That probably didn't make a whole lot of sense, so I posted the file on my test site (http://www.savagepixels.com/test/test.html). You have to drag your mouse slowly across the button to see this. The bottom part of the button works as I'd expect. When you roll over the text at the bottom of the button, everything functions as it should. The looping problem starts when you roll over the image portion of the button. For some reason it considers each consecutive pixel rolled over to be a new event and consequently triggers the "over" animation again.
The code I have is below. I've commented out the MOUSE_OUT function for now. There is also a screenshot at the above link of my Layers palette for the button clip in question. I put a "stop" label at each frame that has an action so you see the actions used.
Thanks for helping!
oneBedButton_mc.buttonMode = true;
oneBedButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overEffect);
//oneBedButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outEffect);
function overEffect (e:MouseEvent)
oneBedButton_mc.gotoAndPlay("over");
function outEffect (e:MouseEvent)
oneBedButton_mc.gotoAndPlay("out");

That was helpful. I had one of images in the button movie clip that wasn't a movie-clip type symbol ... it was just a static .png image. Once I converted that into a movie clip, the repetitious looing went away.
There is still some weirdness if you refresh that same link ... (http://www.savagepixels.com/test/test.html) if you roll over the lower part of the button where the text "One Bedroom + Study" is, and then move your mouse up over the image portion, the whole MOUSE_OVER event gets triggered again. This is weird because there are no actions whatsover in the button movie clip except a few stop(); keyframes. It treats the image as a separate button. Any ideas on what is causing that event to be triggered in this way?

Synaptics Clickpad setttings not working properly in Windows 10

Synaptics Clickpad settings v. 19.0.12.95 are not being saved after shutting down Windows 10. Each time I shut down and restart Win 10, I must go back into the mouse/clickpad settings to disable the "TAPPING" feature which I hate. Settings were saved on shut down and worked fine in Win 8.1. HP needs to come up with a new driver. In the meantime I guess I may have to roll-back to Win 8.1?? Anybody else having this problem??

Thanks for the info; appreciate the help. Went into the HP Recovery Manager, formatted the hard drive, and restored Win 8.1 back to the original factory installation. Actually runs faster now than before. I will prpbably wait awhile before trying Win 10 on this machine again. Hopefully, Synaptics will come out with a Win 10 driver by that time. I actually like Win 8.1, especially with a touch screen. Win 10 seems more oriented toward mouse users. And that Cortana feature collects way too much information for my liking, which MS shares with other 3rd party vendors. Thanks again for the help.

Synaptics clickpad: Can't rest finger on button area and move pointer

I have a new laptop with a clickpad touchpad. I don't like tap to click, so I've disabled that. I'm trying to get the bottom clickpad area of the touchpad to behave as close to standalone buttons as possible. On my old laptop I developed a habit of resting my left pointer finger on the left button as my right pointer moved the cursor around. With this new touchpad, as soon as my finger touches the left button area, the cursor freezes in place ignoring the continued movement of my other finger.
I've tried multiple changes to the synaptics conf but I can't find anything that works. SoftButtonAreas is set. It seems like setting AreaBottomEdge should solve the problem, but it doesn't. The documentation says that setting AreaBottomEdge should "Ignore movements, scrolling and tapping which start below this edge" but touching this area is indeed detected and changes the state of the pad for me even when enabled.
Is this behavior inherent of the driver or is it a quirk related to my specific touchpad?
Does anyone know of a possible solution to remedy this behavior?

After further findings, I'll answer my own post:
This behavior is inherent of the driver. The issue has been known upstream for a little while now:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66532
There is also a bug open on Ubuntu launchpad with quite a bit of discussion:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1026046
Doesn't appear that any major contributor to the synaptics driver is eager to resolve it
Sadly, I haven't found a good solution to this issue for me. There is an alternative mtrack driver which isn't prone to this, but it has other quirks that bothered me greatly. I ended up just forcing myself to get used to tap to click. I still don't like it.

GT80 Touchpad synaptics num button not working

Hello, I made no changes to the synaptics adjustments, everything at default values, now num button for enabling number pad at gt80 not working any more. other functions (touchpad) are working. even reinstall of synaptics driver not working. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Greetings from Australia,
I recently obtained this laptop and by design installed windows 7 x64.
after a number of years working in call centres, I'm used to working blind and talking to people who have only recently been inducted into the realm of technology
(I admit sometimes it is like trying to give someone instructions in another language to help them fix their car engines via the muffler while using a braille workshop manual)
As a matter of course, I encountered the same problem you guys did.
Robert_Tirak thanks for your post, you gave me enough information to get started on finding a solution to this, however, I've taken the tact of writing this as if it's for someone who happened to get their hands on one of these amazing machines but isn't in any way whatsoever computer literate, as that caters for every/anyone.
Quote from: robert_tirak on 25-March-15, 23:18:48
The person with the "knocking zone" had the answer but it's called "tapping zones". Just go in pointing device properties > device settings > settings. From there go to tapping and enable tapping. Then go to tap zones and enable tap zones. Fixed my numpad instantly.
a little more detail:
*right click on the synaptic touch pad icon in bottom right near time
*pointing device properties
*device settings tab up top
*click device settings button near middle on the right hand side
*on the new screen there's a menu on the left, in that menu
*open 'Tapping'
*then click tap zones and enable it
*then you can change the zones if you like, however, what I've done is disabled top right, bottom left and *right and just enabled top left (the region that covers the num lock lit up section)
my only problem now is, the literal command/app/function to go between numlock with keys vs mouse is missing from the list of available options.. pretty sure it'll just end up being some kind of executable or command line to initiate something in the driver,
I'd be most grateful for any further assistance from anyone who has actually got this working.
Sincerely
X.

Query Panel Search Button move to left

Is it Possible to move search button in query panel to left side?
by default, it's in right side.

Yes, it is possible by skinning.
Use the following in the skinning file:
*af|query::content-footer{*
float:left;

U310 clickpad button problem

Sorry if this has been discussed already; could not find it with search. I am having a problem with the cursor moving when I click either of my buttons because the active area of the pad includes the buttons. It is very annoying and limiting with the right button especially. I have been to the Synaptics pointing device properties area numerous times and looked extensively for a way to adjust the active area to eliminate the problem, all without success. This problem is making me quite unhappy with my decision to buy a U310. Any help would be much appreciated.

hi hfa29155,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try to boot the computer in Safe Mode and observe if you still get the same issue. If everything's ok, there's probably an application on the background that's causing those pages to open up. Try to perform a clean boot and observe the PC.
Let me know your findings
Cheers

How can I name a button/movie so that an external script can read it?

Hi,
I have a javascript on my website that is called on any click. The script reads the name of the clicked item. This works fine for all jpg/gif images with a name, but how can I name a flash movie in such a way that this script can read it? I tried several things, the name (and id) in the published parameters, the name of the instance, of the button, etc. But nothing works?
The external javascript is this:
var theName;
function grabName(e){
var targ;
if (!e) var e = window.event;
if (e.target) targ = e.target;
else if (e.srcElement) targ = e.srcElement;
if (targ.nodeType == 3) {targ = targ.parentNode;}
theName=targ.name;
if(theName){GoogleCounter(theName);}
document.onclick=grabName;
Thanks,
Irene

You should look into using the ExternalInterface class to have Flash talk to javascript in the web page that contains it. Here's a link that provides some information on that...

A really annoying problem with a button/movie clip

I am having a problem with a button! its driving me insane
because i managed to do it last week, but that was by chance and
now i can't remember how i did it!
I can get the button (i'm using gelright from the common
libraries panel) and convert it to a movie clip(by pressing F8) and
even attach a behaviour but when i play the movie it doen't work!
when i move the curser over the button it changes into a hand, but
will not act like a button, even though i have set the behaviour to
'on release, go to and play keyframe 2'.
Please help me, for the sake of my laptop goin through the
wall!

ok - you are running yourself around in circles - why did you
delete it to the stage only to add it
again? once you converted it to a movie clip, you had what
you wanted on the stage - but then you
deleted it and dragged another instance of the same symbol
back onto the stage - there's no reason
to do that.

Right - this is expected because yoyu are now inside the
movie clip timeline - not the button timeline.

right headings (top, down,

Right - because by double clicking the button symbol you were
then brought to "edit mode" for the
button symbol.
but there were about 5 layers that showed the different
layers for

Huh? What "5 layers"? What do you mean "original" button -
per your description there has only ever
been 1 button you have been working with.

Lost you completely now - what do you mean add the button to
each heading? I have no clue what you mean.

Still losing you here.

That's because you are applying a behavior for a button to a
movie clip instead.
I think you went wrong when you converted the button to a
movie clip - i have no idea why you did
that or why to think your button needs to be in a movie clip.

I just think you don't understand how timelines, symbols or
buttons work yet in flash.
1. drag a button to the stage.
2. select it and open the Behaviors panel (dont double click
it to edit it).
3. add your actions.
4. test movie.
(no need for a movie clip here.

Buttons, movie clips and actionScripts

I've created myself conundrum. In my test movie I have
created two named frames on the screens timeline (home, box); each
content frame consists of a movie clip with a button in it
(home_btn, box_btn). What I'm attempting to do is have the home_btn
button call the movie in "box" and have the box_btn button call the
movie in "home".
If I don't use movie clips the is a simple task,
home_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("box"); }
but as soon as I place the buttons inside a movie clip the
navigation ceases to work. I'm assuming I'm getting beaten as
something very basic, but unfortunately I can't find it.
Anything thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
locoLindy

Perfect! That fixed the problem. Many thanks for your help,
I'd have toiled with that for days!
Again, that's for your help!

How many lines does the arrow button move the page?

When using the arrow buttons on the scroll bar the page moves more than it used to. What happened?

Firefox 10 has changed the scroll amount for the keyboard navigation UP and DOWN keys to 3 lines.<br />
You can set the scroll amount for the mouse wheel via mousewheel prefs on the about:config page, but you can't do that for the keyboard navigation keys.
There are extensions that work both for the mouse and the keyboard to set the scroll amount, but they can only be set to scroll an amount of pixels and not to scroll one line regardless of font-size (height) of the text.
