Text Buttons won't highlight in Simulator or on DVD

I'm having some difficulties getting text only buttons to roll over to selected or activated colors in simulator, and on a burned dvd. In viewer, they change colors as I change button state view, but once I go to simulator, they stay white.
I can look at the log window and see that I'm scrolling over them, and they corrctly point to their target when I click on them, but no color change?
I've tried a million combinations, and nothing seems to work.
Any help would be appreciated, as my mind is nearly gone!!
(Using DVDSP 4.0.3)
Thank you.

Did you include the text in the highlight (by checking box in the inspector?) It sounds like you used this technique (typing text as oppossed to using tifs, picts etc.)
Take a look here www.dvdstepbystep.com/stories_details.php to see what I am referring to - if you go halfway down 4. (right above the graphic that has the blue and red arrows in it) you will see where include text in highlight checkbox is
Also rollovers will not work on anything but computers, whaat you should bee doing is using the north/south/east/west buttons

  • Ow when I go to the app store icon and open it it says that the myxer radio is going to download but I am not able to download it and all of the other option buttons won't highlight

    on a iphone 3g the myxer social radio will not let me do anything can't download it and don't know how to get rid of it.....it won't let me do anything and I can't get past it to go to the app store app

    Try force quitting the app...
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.

  • Can't send text, send button won't work

    I just bought a new iphone4 and when I try to send a text the send button won't respond. Everything else seems ok. It worked for the first couple of days.

    have you restarted your phone, hold in the home button and the power button in until the apple symbol reappears.
    usually a restart sorts things like that out

  • How to create text buttons that link to video?

    I've finally gotten around to trying DVD SP, and even though I read the whole manual, it's not at all clear if, or how, you can create text buttons that link to the video you want to play, without displaying a clip of that video in the button itself.
    I have no problem creating a text button, but I can't change the font, and editing is counter-intuitive, unlike iDVD. I'd use iDVD, but it doesn't accept .m2v files, and it seems to think that my 6 videos of about 43 minutes each are too large for a DVD+DL disc, so it won't let me burn it or save it as a disc image.
    Does anyone have a way out of this conundrum, or am I SOL?

    It really isn't that hard!
    As Drew said, go into your menu and click and drag to create a button rectangle. With the button highlighted, look in the property inspector at the bottom and type in the text that you want to use. Ensure that you 'include in button highlight' and then set the colour choice for selected and activated.
    What you get is a simple line of text which illuminates when you roll over it, and changes colour when you click on it.
    Once that is done, click on the button area again and set the target to go to the piece of video that you want to have play back.
    You should also set the menu call and end jump on that track to make sure your viewer can get back to the menu.
    Once that is done the menu will show as a simple piece of text (more buttons means more bits of text, and the first button will be highlighted by default) and no video will play until the button is activated.
    DVDSP is definitely a steeper learning curve than iDVD but for very good reasons. You get far greater control and access to far more advanced features in DVDSP. This means that some things will seem harder, whereas in fact they are just different and the process for achieving the result you want is different. Much of what you want to know is in the manual and also in the tutorials which came with the app. Failing that there are several good online spaces where you can find a lot more information... not least of which is right here, of course!

  • Iweb buttons won't work

    This is the third time I've redone my website and now it won't work.
    I have made my own navigation bar at the bottom of my sight.
    It has a background shape with text over it.
    I have tried to hyperlink the text, for instance (contact) to my contact
    page and it will always go to apple live home page. I have gone into
    the inspector and it is connected to my contact page. All my
    buttons are connected to where I want them to be.
    They are all just stuck on the default apple page.
    I have restarted iweb and my computer, same problem.
    Thank you,
    sowza1

    Well I figured it out.
    You can select the text box or highlight the text. If you highlight the text, you can then
    make it your button.
    Now the problem is, when I publish to a folder, my normal / rollover / and visited to not change
    from normal??
    thanks for the help.

  • Need help rotating photo in slide show...buttons aren't highlighted

    I'm trying to create a slide show in Photoshop Elements 5.0. For some reason some of the pictures are showing up in my slide show with the wrong orientation. When I click on the picture, the buttons on the right side that allow you to rotate and do more editing won't highlight. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks!

    Some questions to hopefully help us understand what is happening -
    What is the file format of the files where photo shows in the wrong orientation and the buttons to rotate and edit are not available? - For example - are they jpg or psd or tif ? Are these portrait photos that are shown laying on their side?
    Did you add these photos to the slide show from the Organizer or from a Windows folder? Some people have reported that not all functions are available to them when the photo is added to the slide show from a Windows folder.

  • Text buttons - creating a click zone

    I've added 4 text buttons on the main menu of an iDVD 6.0.3 project. Each one leads to an individual movie. The navigation works fine, and each button highlights and leads to the movie if I click anywhere on the text or to the left where a box appears to denote button selection. However, after I burn and play a DVD of this project, I must click on the box to the left of the text once it's selected in order to play the movie. I cannot click on the text itself.
    I'm sure there's an easy resolution, but I've looked through the documentation and can't decipher where. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Very minor issue compared to not being able to select at all. Nevertheless, this usually has to do when text falls out of the TV Safe area. However if it is in the TV Safe area then try lowering the burn speed to 2x or lower using apple's disc utilities (or better yet Roxio Toast). This may help. Use Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R only while troubleshooting on this iDvd Forum and avoid Memorex and TDK medias.
    Good Luck!

  • 2 buttons won't work that were created exactly like a many others that work.

    I am using Flash CS4 with actionscript 2 to create an interacitve portfolio.  I have 2 text buttons that work when I test them with "enable simple buttons." When I publish to IE these buttons won't work.  I have created over 50 buttons using the same methods, they all work.  Any idea what might be wrong?

    I have attached an edited version which shows working buttons and the ones we are having trouble with.
    If you publish this in IE, the only button that will work is the last one on the entry page ("Writing"). This is because I have deleted all the other info to reduce the file size
    On the next page the "Blog Excerpts" and "English Notebook" links are the ones that have been configured but do not work.  The "Home" page on top does work.  As you can see, the buttons have all been created the same way.
    Thanks for being willing to help work this out.

  • Please HELP!!! my menus won't highlight when I simulate/burn

    I am a novice to DSP, I have figured out how to make menu and have those buttons lead to other things. I am creating a directing reel so I have an initial menu that leads to two other menus. When I click on the menus they lead me to the appropriate places and then I can click on my work as well, but when I simulate the project, the menu bottons as well as my work bottons are not highlighted, and I can't use the arrows to get to them. I have been reading that I need overlays, but I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I have put jpegs in my buttons and they work fine, but they won't highlight, I am also using my work (videos and commercials) as my other buttons, and they won't highlight either. I am sure it is a simple answer, but I would really appreciate the help. Thanks so much.

    Hi David
    The easiest way to do it is to read the manual regarding simple overlays. Basically you create a flat .psd file that is all white except for the areas that you want as your highlight shapes, which you make black (or 4 levels of grey scale to which you can assign different colours in the advanced colours tab in DVDSP)
    Cheers

  • How to make scalable text button

    I'm learning Captivate at the moment and I cannot understand this at all...
    I want to creat a text button. Captivate allows NO options to change the grey text box or blue rollover effect. So I find out that the only way to do it is to creat your own image button, BUT Captivate does not allow Illustrator import, thus the images are not scalable. This means that if I want to creat a text button that will have various sizes of widths the image will have to be stretched and this looks awful.
    Someone please tell me that my only option is to not create a seperate image for every instance of text due to variance in width.......
    Please help.
    I tried calling the Adobe Technical Support line... I even spoke with a specialist. They did not speak English well and kept telling me over and over to import my own image... but that does not solve the problem, it still stretches!!! They basically said there is no way around this. I cannot believe this to be the case... Even powerpoint allows text button customization....
    Thank you

    The look and feel of the default text button object in Captivate is actually controlled by your operating system.  So if you look at the same course onh a Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 7 box, the buttons will all look slightly different.   This is one reason that Captivate gives you the option to use other button types such as image buttons, which you can also create for yourself if you are handy with an image editor.  There is currently no import facility for vector art from Illustrator or other similar programs.
    Since the OS controls the default text button appearance, you don't have a lot of control over things like the corner radius etc, because in the OS, this might actually be square (e.g. in Win2000).
    It sounds more to me like what you REALLY want is to be able to use some of the Captivate text caption types as if they were buttons.  Some of these have rounded corners.  Alternatively, you can create a rounded rectangle using the drawing tool and configure the corner radius and background colour any number of ways.  The only things you'd be missing are rollover effects (doable with rollover captions) and interactivity.  Lilybiri suggested that you can just place an invisible clickbox over the top of the caption to make it work like a button.  The user will never know that it's the clickbox instead of the caption that they're clicking.
    If you want even more options as far as interactivity triggered by other mouse events such as mouse over and mouse out, you can make almost any Captivate screen object interactive using the Event Handler widget from Infosemantics. 
    Free trial versions are available for download if you feel like playing.
