Syncing Button Rollover States

I'm building a website for myself (currently with the Muse trial, but I am planning to buy), and I have a question regarding button rollover states.  The site I'm building is an architectural photography website, and the general portfolio page has a list of subcategories in the left-side menu bar.  However, I also want to have thumbnail links to each of the subcategories in the main body of the website (see image provided).  The thumbnails are for the Educational and Municipal subcategories.  I have currently set up the rollover states for all the links in the left-side menu (to turn to the light blue that is seen on the active state of the Portfolio button), and I've set the rollover states for the thumbnails (to go to 50% opacity).  Is there a way for me to synchronize these rollover states?  I would like to see a thumbnail respond in its rollover state if I roll over its corresponding button in the left-side menu, and vice versa.
Thanks!

Hi,
To accomplish that you can use the composition tool tip. A transparent triger can be placed where your menu item is and the target will be on the image with an opacity of the 50%.
However, this will only work in one direction and will not change the menu item when you roll over to the image.
Regards,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Button rollover state plays again after click

    Hello, I have made a portfolio in Flash 8 using Presentation
    Screens. The intro and all the navigation buttons are on the first
    parent screen. I have a rollover label animation on each button,
    which plays fine on the first rollover, but also plays again after
    a button click takes the user down to another screen. This seems to
    be a glitch in the Screens feature, as my tests show that this is
    not the case within a regular FLA document. Has anyone come across
    this??
    You can see the buttons in action at:
    www.opcarto.com
    Thanks

    I had a similar problem whereby I had built my own "frame" - complete with custom "minimize" and "close" roll-over buttons at the top right corner. The problem was that when you minimized the frame, then re-maximized it, the "minimize" button stayed in its "rolled-over" state, for the same reason yours does - the mouse never officially "leaves" the button.
    My workaround, which may or may not help you, was to call the processMouseEvent() method of the Component class (which is a parent of AbstractButton), whenever the frame is minimized. This seems to do the trick.
    Note that processMouseEvent() is a protected method, so I had to override it and make it public in a subclass, so I could go ahead and call it.
    You could do the same thing, but you would need to decide what event you would use to trigger the call (i.e. my event was minimizing the frame - your event might be mouseOver for your overlapping frame?? Might get a bit messy.... ;-)
    Hope this helps!

  • ¿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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How do I create a rollover state in CS3?

    Though some of Imagready's features have been ported to Photoshop CS3, there is no "Web Content" palette that allows me to make simple rollover states for a button. If you recall, in Imageready, this palette allowed you to create and control multiple rollover states for a button, then on export it would automatically add suffixes to the files name for the rollover states.
    Right now, I'm doing it old scholl, turning layers on and off, and individually export normal and rollover states for a button, and naming them by hand each time. Very unproductive and given to error.
    Please advise.

    fireworks or use imageready in CS2

  • Psd file into FW...trying to create rollover states

    Ok, first here is the link to the PSD file I used to load
    into FW (cs4):
    http://human-landscaping.com/test/soniMENUbar.psd
    Here is the file I tried to get a rollover (state change) in
    on the first item GALLERY:
    http://human-landscaping.com/test/soniMENUbar.png
    WHAT I did...brought my menu bar (psd) file in. Each menu
    item (button) is unique with it's background and text.
    I then CREATED BUTTOM SYMBOLS for each navigation button. I
    created a hotspot on GALLERY. Moved my cursor in FW off the image
    and the Symbol Properties opened. BUT...the STATE only has one
    choice STATE 1. When I looked at the Lynda.com video there were
    multiple choices...rollover, mouse down...
    I have read links from the Forum where people said this
    explained everything. I guess it explains everything if you already
    know what the answer is. I am at a loss on how to proceed. Any help
    would be appreciated.
    I should add...when the cursor rolls over I want the box to
    display a shadow under it.
    I am dreading the next part ... drop down choices from each
    navigation category!!!
    Thanks, humble and ignorant Bill

    No hotspots are necessary
    Try it this way:
    1-open the PSD file in FW CS4 and delete the text on the
    buttons. You'll
    put it back later.
    2-Select the first button and convert it to a button symbol
    (Modify >
    Symbol > Convert to Symbol > click the Button radio
    button.
    A green slice guide will appear over your new symbol
    3-double click on the green slice guide to open the new
    button symbol in
    the symbol editor window
    4-open the States panel (Window > States). This step isn't
    really
    necessary, but it's helpful in getting used to thinking about
    how states
    work in Fireworks.
    Back in the Property inspector, you'll see the word UP
    selected for
    State. In the States panel, you'll see that State 1 is
    selected.
    5-type the text (gallery) on the button symbol
    6-once you've typed the text, change the State selector on
    the Property
    inspector from Up to Over.
    Note that when you do this, State 2 is selected in the States
    panel.
    7-if you wish to use the same image and text you used for the
    Up state,
    click on the Copy UP Graphic button in the Property
    inspector. You can
    edit both to make them look different without the originals
    on the Up
    state being changed.
    If all you want is a simple two state rollover, then you are
    finished
    8-click on the left facing arrow at the top left of the
    document window
    to leave the symbol editor.
    Repeat for the other buttons.

  • Rollover state not working in tooltip

    I am having an issue getting a rollover to work correctly in a tooltip. The action is fine but the rollover just doesn't work. You can see an example of it here: http://grosteffon.site90.com/index.html
    The buttons in question are "Material Testing" and "Proficiency" Any help at all would be appreciated.

    The rollover works in the fact that it triggers the submenu. Aish, do those two buttons change color (rollover state) like the other buttons? That is what I can't get to work.
    Thanks!

  • 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?

  • How do I restore the white sync button on iPhone 4s?

    Last night I was attempting to add a Kindle book to my iPhone via the sync method. Something has gotten corrupted, as my iPhone no longer shows the white sync button option, under the iTunes /wifi option in settings.  When I open iTunes, it sees the iphone. If I try and drag a file to the iPhone, the item bar is transparent and doesn't allow the action.  I restored the phone, but to no avail. I no longer have the ability to manually sync my phone by pressing the  white sync now button, that was previously showing on the phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

  • I restored an iphone on a mac that it hadn't been previously synced with, and then accidentally clicked the sync button and now the music library on my mac is gone - can I get it back?  If so, how do I get it back?

    This is a crazy circumstance of events.  We have an iphone that we use as our office line.  My husband accidentally got his iphone wet so while we were submitting it to be replaced through AT&T insurance plan, I had taken the sim card out of the office iphone and put his sim card into it and he was using it for a couple weeks.  Somewhere on this forum I had found the instructions for doing this and it worked.  He set a passcode on it while he was using it.  Then he got his new replacement iphone and we switched simcards back and was good to go with his newly replaced iphone.  In the meantime the other office iphone had been forwarded to me and we at that time didn't have another person working in the office so the iphone sat off for about 6 weeks maybe.  Of course, during those 6 weeks the passcode, that was set on it, was forgotten - tried a few different things he thought that he'd set it to with no luck.  So I looked up what  needed to be done and how to restore the iphone.  This particular iphone had not been plugged into a computer since having the original sim card put back into it after my husband had used it with his sim card so it wasn't able to get past the not having the correct passcode by just plugging into a computer that it had been synced with.  I restored it.  And this maybe is where I messed up or where maybe the new Iphone/Itunes OS messed up.  I did accidentally check the sync button once the iphone was restored.  I looked at Itunes and realized the music in the library on the computer was gone as well as the playlists.  This is such a bummer because this is the business macbook pro and we run boat charters so all of that music is what is on the boat's ipod and played during the charters.  There are playlists for sunsets, for cloudy days, multiple reggae playlists, etc. totaling 80 different playlists and tons of music - so much hardwork went into making those.  Is there any way to get it all back????  Please help if you can - I'd be ever so grateful.  Thanks.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • HT201269 my iphone will not allow me to press the sync button, any suggestions

    my iphone will not allow me to press the sync button. It is showing as greyed out. Any suggestions ?

    I am having the same issue. After hunting around on the community boards for a while, I noticed that ZoneAlarm Firewall came up fairly often as causing issues with syncing. I re-activated the firewall that came bundled with my less-than-a-year old Windows 7 pc and completely uninstalled ZoneAlarm. I dragged and dropped one of my playlists to the iPhone 3GS and then most of my music then came back, but I am still unable to get all my custom ringtones (created in i ringer) to reload. I've tried dragging and dropping to no avail (I use "manually manage" because I add audio books from the library).
    Others have posted these same issues and the odds that we are all doing the same exact wrong thing seems astronomical - there must be an issue with the latest firmware update. Different iPhone versions, different OS on computers, PC v Mac - all having problems after the latest update. Coincidence? Hmmmm!
    If you do have ZoneAlarm, it might be worthwhile to change that...

  • Why is the sync button shaded/ grayed out in iTunes when I try to sync my iPhone 4s

    I have 2 iPhone 4s', I originally synced one last year to the same computer I am using now, it worked fine. I have all the latest updates for iTunes and IOS. I am using a windows 7 laptop.
    When I try to sync my phone, iTunes takes a very long time to find my iphone after I connect it and sometimes freezes for a minute or so. I then do all the regular things such as ticking the sync only selected songs, sync with this device over Wifi etc. but then when I have selected the songs i want and click 'apply', iTunes freezes again for a moment and the sync button at the bottom remains shaded out so I can't click it??
    I have ticked automatically sync this device when connected, uninstalled/ re-installed iTunes 4 or 5 times, restarted my computer, authorised my computer (again), backed up and reset my iphone. Re-installed Bonjour, reset my Wifi router as it also does not let me click the 'sync now' button on either of my phones and after all of this, none of the songs in my music library on my iphones have changed??
    Can anyone please help?
