Translucent background for Pop-up menu

I am looking for assistance for a translucent background on a
pop-up menu I am doing in FW-MX2004. I am trying to do tech note
tn_15526 and on step16. Would we select all the files at once or do
them individually and do Reverse all Frames to all of them at once?
I also wanted to see if anyone actually did this tech note
and got it to work, or is there a tutorial to do similar. Thanks
for any help.

The red squares are showing you that there are buttons that are overlapping. With the Marquee Tool (m) on Photoshop just select the part you want for the button from your background and then right click & select Layer via Cut and then put the new layer you made into the folder that belongs to that button. You can put a background on any pop-up menu but you have to cut it into pieces and put them in the folders of the buttons, and also make sure that they are not overlapping.
Here are some pictures I did for my pop-up menu (it has 8 pages with around 9 buttons each page & with each button with a background):
Also here is a link of a blu-ray I did with this pop-up menu: http://youtu.be/pEjKmIYM_8I

Background and pop up menu in ENCORE CS5

Hi everybody,
I have a problem.
I try to create a pop up BD menu from a preset found in Encore (cloud pop up menu)
If I change writtings on buttons, some red collision square appears.
Then, using photoshop I take all the backgrounds of all buttons to make an unique background image.
Now if i use this image as an object it disappears.
like this
If I use it as a button the red squares appear.
like this
The question is this.
How can I use a background for pop up menus?
thanks
I apologize for my english

Dreamweaver 8 Behaviors for pop-up menu

I am a novice user of Dreamweaver 8. I created a site using
pop-up Behaviors for a dropdown navigation bar. I've read about a
lot of problems others are having, but part of my problem I have
not been able to locate anywhere.
After I created my template and want to save changes to the
template and update the files based on this template, I go thru a
series of JavaScript errors. It never updates any files in the end
and sometimes shuts down the program. An example of ONE of the
error messages is:
At line 1654 of file "C:\Program Files\Macromedia/Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\Behaviors\Actions\Show Pop-up Menu.js": The
function saveDocument() is currently unavailable.
The more pages attached, the more error messages I get....
all are .js errors.
The other problem is the links from the pop-up. I've double
checked them in the behavior pop-up menu... they appear to be
correct and sometimes work, but not all the time.
Everything I read says that I should create the navigation
with pop-ups (drop down menus) in Fireworks. Is Dreamweaver that
unreliable that this can't be done within itself?
If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong to receive these
errors and how to correct my links so they are reliable, I would
very much appreciate it. I have recreated this site 6 times and the
errors are consistent.
Thanks, cjbyrnes

You read about all these problems, yet you pressed ahead and
used them? Why?
DW's Pop-up menus are incompatible with DW's templates.
Embarrassingly sad,
but true.
Did you read about and investigate any of the many
alternatives posted?

Pop-Up Menu for whole column

Hello iWork Eperts,
I understand that there is an easy way to select certain cells and Format them for POP-UP menu. But when a new row is added then I have to do the formatting again for the cell. Is there any way to do this POP-UP menu formatting for whole column so that when a new row is added then the cell in that column is automatically formatted for POP-UP formatting.
Regards
Kartik Mittal

Hi Kartik,
Here's a step by step:
Start by formatting a single cell (B2 in this case) as a popup menu cell Edit the items to your preferences (I've left them at the default 1, 2 and 3).
Copy that cell.
Click on the Column Reference tab ( B ) to select the whole column.
Command-click on B1 to remove it from the selection.
Paste (to fill the popup, and its current selection, into all cells in the existing column).
Result:
You've now set up the necessary condition for the format (and currently selected value) to replicate as you drag te Row control tab downward to add more rows to the table.
If ALL cells above the one where rows are to be added contain the same popup menu (or the same formula), then that menu/formula wil be filled in to new rows as they are added.
Regards,
Barry

and everything works fine. But when I begin to develop php
applicaitons in that same template my navigation stops working
properly. The flyout menus don't go away and the format of each

Pop up menu speed.

Is there any way to speed up the sub menu views? i.e. click on Settings on a channel strip....wait...wait....is it coming ....will it open...did I click it? Same with right clicking on a track header on the arrange page. It's not a huge deal but is becoming a little annoying.

On G5 is normal to wait for pop-up menu.. expecially if you adding many folder.
on my personal experienxe there is some of the follow action that totally solved .. or better should reduce a lot of waiting time!
1) Repair Permission (run crons periodically by using some 3rd party mantaince utility)
2) switch off Network File and other sharing option
3) use a fast Hard Drive (Raid striped if possible) and system drive free space arround 25%
4) Disable spothligth
5) disable Journaling...
attention please about the 4 and 5 point
I suggest to enable those points after finish to work with Logic...
because Spotligth and Journaling are very important for securuty and safety of your files.
Those of points work on My G5...
Sometime Just repair permission and restart your mac may be sufficient
Good Luck

Overlays for a motion menu

I'm having trouble creating overlays for a motion menu. I've imported my background for my motion menu into dvdsp and it works fine. Now I need to add buttons to it and that's where I'm having trouble. How do I accomplish this? My background has all of the text, I just want to add arrows and use those as buttons over my moving background.
Help is appreciated.

You create an overlay and map it out such as this
http://dvdstepbystep.com/newmap.php
And this highlights the text
http://dvdstepbystep.com/motion.php
So what you should do (easy way) is export the motion menu (last frame) in the proper size and drop it into Photoshop. In what app did you create the background and do you have Photoshop? Can be some sizing issues depending on the workflow.

Help with transparent background for the pop up menu!

Hello everyone,
I am working on a Web site which has a pop up menu created in Dreamweaver 8. The pop up is over a picture and I'm thinking about to make its background transparent. I'm not really a programmer to be able to do it manually but I'm familiar with JS. Would anybody be able to help me with this? I truly appreciate it.
I could find the code but don't know where to place it! The JS file is about 700 lines!!! I'm so confused...Below is the source file for the JS that you could download...

Thanks so much.

Sure.

Put "Background from Layer" in the pop-up menu of the layer

Sometimes you need to convert a layer into a background. There is an option "Background from Layer" in the Layer menu and it is good where it is, but I think it would be good and very intuitive to add it also to the pop-up menu of the layers in the layers palette in the same way that a background layer has the option "Layer from Background..."

In the meantime, I've found it easy to write and action and assign an f-key to it.
With CS6 it's important to keep in mind that if you change your bottom layer to Background AND you've cropped your image using the new crop tool, you will lose the "hidden, but still there" part of your image. When the layer once again becomes "Background" you have, in effect, used the old crop tool and lost your way back to the hidden pixels.
It becomes a decision of what you want for that particular image: a larger file size but a way back to the original or a smaller but final file size with no way back.

Using a different background for the drop down options in a spry menu bar

Hi all,
I am trying to set just a background color in the drop down menu, I have a background image repeated along the x asis at the top but this has come down into the sub menu bar how can I change just the lower drop down menu to just a solid color??
I have tryed google and youtube to try to find a answer but have had no luck in finding the solution to this problem.

Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats every day…
winabe23, you joined this month—probably because you were having trouble with CSS and HTML and you have certainly come to the right place.
I'm going to send you to several places I have found helpful in understanding how you can make drop-down menus in CSS without the need for JavaScript—though JS may be necessary for certain older browsers that do not understand pseudo classes and may be necessary for the blind or keyboard navigation.
CSS Wizardry has a great tutorial here.
Line25 has one here.
For those who don't want to have to wrangle code, here is a menu generator from PureCSSMenu.
Here's a page by Eric Meyer who describes how the concept works.
And here is a video tutorial by "zorro30mum." It's in two parts, but there is a link to Part 2 below Part 1.
The reason why I am posting all of these links in my answer is because you're using Spry. And Spry has been found wanting by Adobe and they are deprecating and abandoning it.
The Spry framework is an open source Ajax framework that Adobe developed. Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML. On August 29th 2012, Adobe handed over Spry to github. If you want to help github develop Spry, there is a site for that, but I'm thinking you're not a JavaScript developer.
I would recommend you pay a little more attention and time to Ajax, which is not deprecated and not discontinued. It allows you to do client-side triggers for server-side code. But that's if you want to do work in JavaScript, XML and a server-side language, like Cold Fusion, php or ASP.
But in the meantime, the tutorials above will get you into understanding how this whole menuing stuff is done in CSS and give you the understanding necessary to do simple stuff, like changing the color of a background for a drop-down.
I hope this helps you make great websites!

Using a conditional pop-up menu for creating an order form...

I am trying to create an order form on Numbers (version 2.0.1) using my iPad. My idea is to create a pop-up menu that would contain a number of products (about 50 or so). I'd copy this pop-up menu on all the cells in the column under "Description". That part is no problem. BUT ... ideally when a product is selected from the pop-up menu, I would like for its price to automatically populate the corresponding cell under "Unit Price". Obviously the various products will have various prices. For example, I might have three products listed as "Assorted Miniatures" which cost $5 each; "Animal Pot" which costs $10; and "Geometric Pot" which costs $15. Can this be done???
If and when that is accomplished, then I presume I can easily apply the basic formulas to get total amounts. All of this means that once completed the only thing I really need to do is select products and then all the pricing and total amounts are automatically listed and calculated. Can someone assist? I have a show coming up this weekend and I hope to fill out lots of order forms!!! :-) Thank you!!!

MicMac22,
Here is my take. Lookup table as Wayne suggests.
Popup menu is a great idea.
description
quant
unit price
total Amt
Item 2
$2.00
Item 1
$1.00
My entry table would look like yours.
item
price
item 1
$1.00
item 2
$2.00
item 3
$3.00
Table 2 is your lookup table.
The formula in your entry table unit price is pasted into row 2 and copied down.
IFERROR(OFFSET(Table 2::$A$1,MATCH(A2,item,0)−1,1,,),"")
This says find the match of entry in A2 in item column in table 2 return the value in the column 1 over. If error return nothing ("").
Will this work for you?
Q

How to show a blank or clear cell for the first entry in a numbers pop-up menu on a mac. I can do it on the iPad but not on the mac. Thank you.

Can you please advise how to show a blank or clear cell as the first option in a pop -up menu on a Mac, I can see how on an IPad but but not on the Mac.
Thank you.

Hi grm,
Yvan Koenig wrote an Applescript to create an popup menu with a true blank menu item. You can find it in Yvan's Box Account public area. Click on for_iWork'09, then for-numbers'09, then look for and download popup_with_nil.zip. Unzip the file, then open it with ScriptEditor.
Yvan's scripts include instructions (in French and English) on how and where to save the script and how to use it. I haven't read this one recently, so I can't give you any further details on it.
Regards,
Barry

Looking for a way to create a pop-up menu with two sub-layers

I'm looking for a solution in Fireworks CS3: creating a
pop-up menu which goes two deep instead of the standard one-deep.
TOP LEVEL > SECOND LEVEL > THIRD LEVEL
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!

Pointless change to Safari 6.1 pop-up menu for links

Can somebody please put the adults back in charge of OS development at Apple? This morning I was prompted to install the latest OS update, which includes a new version of Safari (6.1). Almost immediately I noticed this change to the order of items in the pop-up menu when you right-click a link: the position of the first two items is switched. That may seem like a trivial change, but if you're accustomed to opening different types of links in new tabs or new windows, then you've established a bit of muscle memory in your mouse hand, which is now thrown off by the change: you'll instinctively choose the wrong item. One of the basic principles of software usability is that you leverage the learned behaviors of your users, you don't turn them into obstacles.

It seems somebody at Apple strongly believes the UI must be tabbed for all things you do. I feel we're told "don't use windows if you can use tabs". Well, I won't be using tabs (neither in Safari, nor Finder, nor nothing), because they waste a precious line of display space.
Too much silly things done in OSX since Lion. As the OP said, please put adults back in charge of OS development. Thanks.
Big thanks also to MacOsX for sharing his (working) solution for this Safari bug (yes, it's a bug)
