Table of Contents only working on first chapter

Working with InDesign CS3 Mac. We have a booklet with several chapters. The table of contents is in its own chapter. For some reason it is only creating a table of contents for what would be the following first chapter. The rest of the following chapters are not showing up. I believe we have all the styles correct and the page numbering implemented correctly for those chapters. Does anyone have any ideas on what we could be missing or doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.

I am assuming you are using InDesign's Book feature and have each chapter added as a document in the Book?
Open the document that is going to have the Table of Contents in it from the Book panel.
Then edit the Table of Contents Style and enable the Include Book Documents option.
If you don't see this option, then click More Options first.
Now try updating the Table of Contents.

Menu only recognizes the first chapter - others default to it...

Hello all,
I am using the wedding-looking theme where boxes that hold images slide in from the right and simulated snow/flakes fall. Project is from FCE and pressing any chapter on either menu plays the movie from the firs chapter not where it should play from. It only recognizes the first chapter not the others.
I have never seen this one before - a new feature of iDVD
Any suggestions ?
thanks,
Al

+a new feature of iDVD+
No, but it is a bug. If you make ANY edits to your movie, no matter how small, after putting it into your iDVD project, iDVD will not play the chapters properly. You cannot determine this beforehand. iDVD appears to recognize that you have made edits and will give you a message that 'assets have changed' and will ask if yo want to update. Of course, you opt for that, and all appears fine until you either preview the movie in iDVD or burn it to a disk and see that the chapters do not play correctly.
The usual problem is just what you describe: the chapter(scene) selections default to the same one, usually the one closest to your edit, but not always. This problem occurs in a movie with chapters; I think it is not a problem in a movie without chapters. Additionally, I have made an edit in one of the last clips of my movie, and that has been made without the chapter problem.
There is no 'fix' for this problem/bug. You must start over and create a new iDVD project. Then, be certain that your movie is completely edited. Once you put it in iDVD, do NOT make any changes to it at all. It should burn fine this time.
Please post back if this explanation does not address your problem.

Computation only works for FIRST record in detail table

Hi,
I am having a weird problem. I have a master/detail form with page computations that work only for the very first record inserted into the detail table. If i try to enter a second or a third record the fields DO NOT get updated with the return values.
This is driving me nuts and i am on a deadline with this project. HELP!!!!!
Here is the code for all the computations below. Interestingly enough, only the name computation works for every new detail record. The others work only for the first.

Hi,
The first thing that strikes me is the following IF test:
IF (p_age >= 16) OR (p_age <=62) THEN
p_totalss := (:P25_TOTALWAGES * (p_is16to62ssrate/100));
ELSIF (p_age < 16) OR (p_age > 62) THEN
p_totalss := (:P25_TOTALWAGES * (p_u16o62ssrate/100));
ELSE
p_totalss := 0.00;
END IF;The first test will be true for every number as all numbers are greater than 16 or less than 62. I'd suggest changing the OR to an AND or use BETWEEN

Indesign to ebook-kindle: how to make table of contents link/jump to first page each chapter?

I have successfully completed the "ebooks: from adobe indesign to the kindle store.pdf"
I have InDesign CS 5, not 5.5.
I did the indesign doc - export to epub, then converted that epub in Calibre to MOBI format for kindle.
But how do I make a table of contents that link or jump to the beginning of its respective chapter head?
THANKS!!!

Yes, that fixed it, thanks! I had no idea they clashed like that. I ruthlessly purged all other tables of contents, and then used Layout > Table of Contents to create a new one, and it worked.
It made more sense after seeing in this thread that table of contents styles are more like presets or entities than styles.

My AS3 buttons only work the first time

I have set up my buttons so that are each a movieclip with 'over' and 'out' states/frame labels. They exist on the main timeline. The actionscript controlling them is situated in a frame on the main timeline and the frame holding that actionscript is on the same point within the main timeline where the buttons are introduced. I am using actionscript 3.
The buttons have been set up so that they navigate to another frame on the same main timeline and on that frame is a movie. The movie dimensions are smaller than the main stage so the buttons are still accessible when each movie is played.
The problem is my buttons are only working once - by that I mean they go to the correct place when clicked the first time, but when they are clicked again they navigate elsewhere.
Totally doing my head in trying find a solution and if anyone can help and show me what I'm doing wrong that would be really really helpful. Here's the code I used for the buttons...
stop();
function mainBtnOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.gotoAndPlay("over");
function mainBtnOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.gotoAndPlay("out");
///////// INDIVIDUAL BUTTON CLICK FUNCTIONS
function mainBtn1Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("01Movie");
function mainBtn2Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("02Movie");
function mainBtn3Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("03Movie");
function mainBtn4Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("04Movie");
function mainBtn5Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("05Movie");
////////// Button 1 Listeners
mainBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn1Down);
////////// Button 2 Listeners
mainBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn2Down);
////////// Button 3 Listeners
mainBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn3Down);
////////// Button 4 Listeners
mainBtn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn4Down);
////////// Button 5 Listeners
mainBtn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn5Down);
I'm sure it's me doing something very stupid - I'm very new to AS3. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks :-)

If the frame labels you are going to have movie clips that have your presentation content, you should use gotoAndStop("frameLabel") instead of gotoAndPlay("frameLabel"). There's no need to play the main timeline when you go to and show any of these movie clips. I'm not sure if this is your issue, though... Using your code, I had no problems.
Also, you can set up your animated buttons in a way that eliminates the need to have your ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events. This isn't necessarily better, but just another method. Although I might use other ways to animate a button, I do like to reduce the code it takes to use the buttons in an interface, and only use CLICK in most cases.

Hide "more" button in a list view, only works for first item in the list

I have the following code in a list view that outputs several dozen items in a web app. The code only works for the first item, how can I make it loop through and execute the test for each item in the list view? The {tag_hide more button} is a checkmark field that yields a numeric 1" if checked otherwise yields a numeric "0".
<div id="more-option">
        <p class="right"><a href="{tag_itemurl_nolink}" class="btn btn-small btn-very-subtle">More →</a></p>
      </div>
      <div class="more-selection" style="display: none;">{tag_hide more button}</div>
      <script>
if ($(".more-selection").text() == "1") {
    $("#more-option").hide();
</script>

What's the URL for the site where you are using this? Offhand, it looks like it should work with your first example so you are either placing the script before those elements are loaded or you might try wrapping your current javascript inside the:
$(document).ready(function() {
--- your existing javascript here
This make sure the code runs once all the html is loaded on the page. Without seeing a URL and debugging with the js console in Chrome I can't give you a solid answer.
But, I do know that you can probably do this with a lot less markup. Once we figure out what the actual problem is I have a better solution mocked up for you on jsfiddle.
When looking at my HTML code on jsfiddle, please realize I setup some dummy HTML and removed your tags and added actual values which would be output by your tags. The main thing I did was remove the whole div.more-selection and instead, added a "data-is-selected" attribute on your div.more-option element. Then, in my javascript for each div.my-option element on the page, we loop through them, find the value of that data attribute and hide that div if it's less than 1 (or 0).
Here's the fiddle for you to look at: http://jsfiddle.net/thetrickster/Mfmdu/
You'll see in the end result that only two divs show up, both of those divs have data-is-selected="1".
You can try pasting the javascript code near the closing </body> tag on your page and make sure to wrap my js inside a <script> tag, obviously. My way is neater on the markup side. If you can't get it to work it's likely a jquery conflict issue. My version is using the $(document).ready() method to make sure all the code is loaded before it runs.
Best,
Chris

InDesign CS5.5 Exporting PDF master page hyperlinks only work on first 2 pages

We recently upgraded from CS5 to CS5.5 and now our hyperlinks that go to different pages in the PDF only are working on the first 2 pages of each document in the book. We have about 30 documents wrapped up in a indesign book. On the master page we have hyperlinks that allow users to quickly go to the index in the back of the book. After the CS5.5 upgrade the hyperlinks only work the the first 2 pages of each document. We export to PDF(print) with hyperlinks enabled.
I have tried the below:
- I have tried 2 different computers
- Deleted and re-created the indesign preference file
- deleted and re-created the hyperlinks

Can you recommendd the best way to manage the following:
I'm on a Mac. Created an enewsletter for a client in Indesign CS5 with 7 "click here"s throughout the document. The hyperlinks are to connect w other PDF documents not URLs.
Where will I have the best luck creating the hyperlinks - Indesign or in the PDF I export? I have Acrobat Pro if I need to create the hyperlinks in the PDF.
Except I can't figure out how to create the links in either program as far as what name to designate and where do the PDFs reside so people can link to them? And do I enter the file name of the PDF connected to the particular "click here."

Table of Contents not working!

Hi,
I'm writing a paper for graduation and I have a big problem concerning the Table of Contents. I've paragraphed all my headers. In total I've used Header 1 till Header 4 and for the text I've used the body paragraph. So when I want to insert the table of Contents. Just the header 2 appears and also some text which shouldn't be there. Why can't I insert all the Headers??? There all ticked in the TOC box. I don't know what to do and the next apple store is in Zürich...I've asked in one apple store in HK, they told me to uninstall iwork and I did it, but it still doesn't work. I really really need to solve that problem!!! Or I have to install word on my mac...what a shame ;))))

Click on my blue name and email me the file.
I'll see if I can spot the problem.

AutoPlay Only Works the First Time

Our customer is getting a little annoyed by something happening with their CP4 outputs, and I'm not sure if it's "normal" or something's wrong.
The .swf/html plays fine the first time through. However, if a user re-accesses and launches the file again, it plays the first slide, and then jumps to the end. We've checked our navigation and it seems to be fine (go to next slide). We removed the status flags, thinking there was some sort of cookie being set that identified this module as already been played by the user. The problem happens whether it's being served up from a web server or played on a local machine.
I'm taking a big hit on this. And I don't know where else to look.
I have to fix this..any suggestions?
Thanks heaps.

Hi there
My guess is that you need to click Project > Table of Contents. Then click Settings... and ensure the Self Paced Learning option is cleared.
If you find the option is already cleared, you might then investigate the Flash Player version.
Cheers... Rick

Exporting PDF files on CS5 - hyperlinks to URLs only work for first page

I'm new to InDesign and am working through the "Classroom in a Book" training workbook for CS5, I 've got to lesson 14 and have found that when exporting to PDF (interactive) format, the hyperlink to a URL only work for the first page of the document.
I made my own document with links on multiple pages, and the same thing happened. I followed the lesson to the letter (3 times!)
I also tried setting up individual links for individual pages and that did work, so how do I get one piece of text to link to one URL on multiple pages of a document (ie on a Master page) ???

Thanks Peter, I've actually got CS5.5, so I presume this patch is already updated on this version, because when I tried the 7_0_4 patch it wouldn't run; giving the message: "Some updates failed to install, and "update is not applicable". So I tried the latest update: 7_5_2 patch, but I'm still experiencing the same problems with hyperlinks not working from the Master pages.

System only works on first power up after plugging in graphics card

I have a MSI Lightning R7970 that I purchased new however there's an odd problem with it that the internet does not seem to have answers to. Basically my computer only works for the first time after I plug in my graphics card into my motherboard and it works pretty flawlessly (including gaming for hours) until I shut it down or it goes into sleep mode. After that, the computer cannot power up fully but instead only keeps cycling with the fans turning on 1 second and turning off again. This happens all the time and definitely isn't a seating issue because I've gone through this a lot of times already.
If I take the graphics card out and instead rely on the motherboard onboard graphics, this issue doesn't occur at all. I've pulled out every other component in the system and spent multiple afternoons trying to find another cause but I can't find anything wrong. Everything in the system is new.
So should I RMA the graphics card? Or are there other settings I should check?
My config includes i5-4670k, Asus Z87I-Pro, Silverstone ST70F-ES, Crucial Ballistix DDR3 4GBx2.

Code only works in first frame

Hello,
I have several buttons, and when each one is mouse clicked by
the user, text appears in a dynamic text box. I want to have the
text appear in a different color for each of the buttons. However,
it is only working in the first frame, and not in subsequent
frames. All of the buttons have instance names in every frame (in
fact, they are named the same in frame 1, frame 2, etc. . .--but
that doesn't seem to be the problem??) Below is my code. Any
suggestions? Thanks!

Found the answer. The code defining the variable:
var my_color:Color = new Color(textBox);
must only be on the first frame. The rest of the code must be
on all the frames.

Financial Reporting - PDF Table of Contents not working

I am using FR to run scheduled batches each weekend. Some of the books are over 100 pages in length and we have a Table of Contents (TOC) with each book created. The page numbers within the TOC are correct and correspond to the correct report. However, when clicking on the page number in the TOC, it takes us to the incorrect location. It can be a page or two off or it can be 10 pages off. Has anyone experienced this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?
We are on 11.1.2.1 in Prod.

Try with latest patch # 14406630 for 11.1.2.1 as it fixes page number issues.

XFCE Volume Management Only Works Upon First Mount

I want my removable drives to mount automatically. I have the box check marked to do so. It works the first time upon boot but if i eject the drive and then plug it back in i have to mount it manually. Obviously I'm missing something. Anyone know what it is? Maybe I have to find a way to enable "unmount" instead of "eject"?

Dynamic Table row breaks only on the first page (not on second)

Hello,
I biuld a dynamic table with Livecycle.
If the text in the last field is to long, the table grows automatically.
If the end of the first page is reached, the row breaks over from the first to the second page(= 1st break)
This works correctly.
But if the text is longer, and the field have to break from the second to the third page, the field does not break!!
Please see the attached file.
The settings should be correct, because the break ( from 1st to the 2nd page) works.
But why, is the "dynamic behaviour " limited to only ONE page ?
Can you help me please ?
Thanks....

Danke für die korrigierte Datei.
Jep, bei deiner Datei funktionierts.
Ich habe alle Einstellungen genauso angeklickt wie Du, aber trotzdem funktionierts nicht in meiner Tabelle.
Kannst du Dich erinnern, was genau Du geändert hast ?
Ich lade eine Datei hoch, in der ich eine neue Tabelle in die bereits existierende Tabelle ( von Dir korrigiert und funktionierend) einfgefügt habe.
In dieser zweiten Tabelle habe ich die gleichen Einstellungen wie in deiner Tabelle. Meine Tabelle funktioniert aber nicht.
Wo ist mein Fehler ?
Danke für deine Hilfe.
Ich hatte es aber als dynamisches Formular gespeichert. Die Felder verändern sich ja, nur nicht mit dem richtigen Umbruch.
https://acrobat.com/#d=kBUbNEdmNNLTXmKuCUo84w
Ist es womöglich ein Versionsproblem ?
Teillösung:
Mit 1 Spalte anstelle von 2 Spalten funktionierts auch bei mir.
Mit 2 Spalten nicht.
Weiss jemend Rat ?
ENGLISH
thanks for the correction of the file.
It works fine in your doc.
I copied all settings from your pdf-file, but still it doesn`t work in my doc.
Do you remember, what you changed ?
I will upload a flie, where I paste a new table in the existing one. Can you tell me where the failure is ?
Thanks for your help.
I saved the origin file as a dynamic form. The fields were growing automatically (when the text is long). The problem was the overflow.
https://acrobat.com/#d=kBUbNEdmNNLTXmKuCUo84w
Is it possibly a bug within my LCD Version ?

It works fine, when I delete 1 column.
