Trying to make a button with a drop zone

Since I can't find any of the template buttons that look the way I want, I want to make a simple button that includes a drop zone for an asset, a label, and a highlight. I am trying to make a chapter index menu. I can do it using the automated method and using a customized template - but I cannot find buttons that look the way I want. All I want is a simple rectangle, with the label underneath, and a highlight line under the label. There is one like that in which the asset is black and white (RectRoundEdgesBlue.pox), but I want one that is in color. Is there any way to do this?? I have studied some of the Photoshop tutorials, but I am missing how you put a drop zone in.

Hi,
Below is the AS3 code to navigate to adobe.com upon button(whose instance name is 'myButton') click
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoPageFunction);
function gotoPageFunction(event: MouseEvent) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com");
navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
Thanks!

Where are you located?
Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

Is it possible to make a button with multiple paths?

Hello and good day Everyone
I want to make a flash game with a map leading to various places for example school or beach like this http://www.yotreat.com/sites/default/files/190-160_1286.jpg
if the player goes to the school she will find the teacher, and if the player goes to the beach se will find the coach.
How can I make the player (for example) talks to the teacher at school, returns to the main map, and goes to the beach to talk with the coach, yet if she goes to the school again, the dialogue with the teacher won't be the same with first dialogue?
=>>> Is it possible to make a button with different paths to go? As if you've watched frame A, then you push the same button again it will take you to frame B??? <<<=
Sorry for my confusing description... I hope you get the idea >,<
Im so desperate... I've been searching for articles about this since yesterday and I still can't find one to solve this problem of mine.
Making games is my dream... I've made some very simple games, but I want to try a new level of difficulty
Please help me? (>o<

Thank you for the advice, sir Ned Murphy!
Yes, I try to use variables now, but face another problem with it... would you please tell me what's wrong with my script?
Here, in label: "School" I type:
on (release) {
if (point = 0){
gotoAndStop("dialogue1");
else if (point = 10){
gotoAndStop("dialogue2");
else {
gotoAndStop("dialogue3");
(it's only a testing, so I only use these 4 labels)
and in label: "dialogue1", "dialogue2",and "dialogue3" I type:
on (release) {point += 10;}
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("school");
The result when I test movie:
1. At "School" (shows point=0), I click the button,
2. then occurs "dialogue2" (shows point=10), I click the button,
3. then back at "school" (shows point=20), I click the button,
4. then occurs "dialogue2" again (shows point=10)
even the first shot is wrong
point=0 should be the entrance to "dialogue1", but all I can get is "dialogue2"...
Please tell me what's wrong with my script, sir Ned Murphy,
Thank you very much

Trying to make a hyperlink with AS3 on Arcade button

I do not know really anything about ActionScript. I have completed a tut on it but that is all. I am trying to make a hyperlink from a classic arcade button but the code I found is apparently from AS2.

HT5622 I tried to make a purchase with a credit card to I have been using with I Tunes for 2 years. Now it's saying my security code is wrong??????

Tried to make a purchase thru Itunes with a credit card I have been using for years. Now it wants my security code which I entered three times and it said it was wrong (I know the correct) number. Then I changed to another credit card, and it is still denying by purchase. I was prompted to go to this website so here I am. Can you please help me out
Thank yyou

whenever you attempt to put a card on itunes it puts a temporary $1 authorization hold for 24 hours - 48 hours depending on your bank - since you attempted so many times that is why that $1 is showing up so often - are you using a debit card? because if you are then if even the authorization hold doesn't go through like it should it will show a "ghost" charge that will drop off soon - it isn't fraud though - make sure your billing address is correct - if that doesn't work contact itunes store at getsupport.apple.com - click itunes - itunes store and follow the prompts and you can chat or email them.

Trying to make a DVD with an old/non-existent version of iDVD!

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please could you help me?
I work at a school in the UK, and have recently been able to purchase an external Lacie DVD drive, as the school’s computer (currently an iBook G4 with OSX 10.3.2 and a 1GHZ Power PC Processor – 640 MB Memory and a 40 GB HD) wasn’t shipped with one – however, I have a problem…
Trying to make a DVD that will play in a stand-alone DVD player – I followed the advice in iMovie Help – but was stopped suddenly on finding that I do not have the relevant version of iDVD (which version (if any – I can’t see it anywhere!) was shipped with iMovie 4.0?). Is it possible to download a copy of iDVD 3 or later from anywhere compatible with OSX 10.3.2 and iMovie 4.0?
The iMovie Help has an additional option to ‘export your movie in a format appropriate for DVD authoring’ which has let me burn the movie as a (name).DV file – but this is not compatible with any DVD player I have tried. I noticed a while ago on this forum that someone was talking about Toast but I do not have this, but I do have Roxio Easy Media Creator 7, which was bundled with the burner – but is only compatible with a PC – would I be able to build a project in iMovie, transfer it to a PC, and use REMC7 to do what toast would?
Finally, I was wondering if anyone has any experience of using Avid’s free DV software – and if they would recommend it (and also if I would be able to make DVDs with it?).
Well thanks for reading if you got this far – and I’d appreciate it if you could offer any advice (I know I’ve not been very concise)…
Kevin.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.2)

Thanks for the welcome Karsten! I’ve checked the installer disks – which appear to have all the main pieces of software, but not iDVD. If you or anyone knows where it might be hidden that would be great. Thanks for all the other info too!
Thanks Lennart – I don’t think my computer could support iLife ’05 as it is running Mac OSX 10.3.2 and I’ve just been looking at its system requirements which state it requires 10.3.4 minimum – if you know differently, please let me know. As an alternative I have considered getting iLife ’04, but your comment about iLife ’05 being the first version to support external drives worried me (“iDVD 5 is the first iDVD version that officially supports external burners“ does this mean there is an unofficial option for iLife ‘04? Perhaps a patch similar to the one mentioned by Karsten), does that mean iLife ’04 would not support an external Lacie DVD writer?
What is the earliest version of Toast I’d be able to use (as a money saving option!)?
Thank you both, and apoligies for my amateurish questions…
Kevin.

How make menu button with unrolling thumbnails in as 3.0??

Hello
I need help with doing a menu with unrolling and rolling up buttons with thumbnails; now I have someting like that (attachments) this was made by as 2.0 but I need help with changing this on as 3.0.
if samobody have some ideas how can I do this or somting similar using as 3.0 I will be grateful

The only way to convert it to AS3 is to go thru it and replace the code as needed. While some code may not have to change, quite a bit of it will. Your best bet for getting thru it is to build it up from scratch one object at a time and get each coded as you go. Otherwise you will be overwhelmed with error messages. Here's a few pointers.
All code is AS3 has to be placed on the timeline. You cannot place code "on()" objects. So each object needs an instance name.
Any interaction or event handling such as mouse controls and file loading involve event listener/event handler pairs. So you will want to start with looking into the addEventListener() method, which is pretty much used globally for any/all event processing.
When it comes to loading external swf files, you want to use the Loader class.
To determinine how to make the code work, I recommend using a practice file. A file that you can implement one codig sequence in at a time just to determine what works.
Converting this to AS3 will be a good exercise for you on the road to learning it. When I wanted to start learning AS3 that's pretty much what I did, though with the sole purpose of the learning as my goal. I took a fairly complicated menu design that I had created first in AS2, and then rebuilt it from the ground up using AS3.

Make a button with an icon

Hi all.
I have a new problem. I want to make a button as an icon e.g. when I push a button to open a file I want to display the button with the icon.
I'm on devsuite 10g.
Can someone tell me which are the steps to follow to do this???
Thank,
Fabrizio

I have restarted the form builder and the http
listener but I don't see the icon on my button.
Here is the value of my
UI_ICON_EXTENSION
.gif;.jpg;.ico;.GIF;.JPG;.ICO
And this is the value of my
UI_ICON
c:\oracle\devsuite10g\reports\plugins\resource;
C:\ORACLE\devsuite10g\cgenf61\ADMIN\ICONS\PC;
c:\oracle\devsuite10g\forms\java\icone.jar
Fabrizioyou cause a Vertigo for your Forms Builder :-)
Try to specify only one extension, .ico in Forms Builder are more accurate in size. Try it.

Music trouble while trying to make a slideshow with iPhoto

I am trying to make a slideshow for a family member. I have assorted the pictures in the correct order and that part is done. However, when I went to go and add music to the show, iPhoto only lets me pick one song that I can play continuously throughout the show or just once. I would like to try and put about 5 or 6 songs on to go with the pictures but I can not find any way I can do this. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what I can do or what software I may need to buy instead. Thank you very much.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This is what Terence is referring to:
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
