Using masks in buttons

Just hoping someone can help...
I have a mask layer inside a button which masks part of
larger image. All looks well on the Flash stage, but when I
publish/preview the animation the mask isn't doing its
thing...instead I'm seeing the larger image and the mask shape on
top.....
Am I missing something obvious?

I tried, and it seems to be as you described. In deed Buttons
are special, and somewhat limited kinds of movieclips. This mask
thing seems to be one of the limitations.
One might find an explanation, but the fact remains, so I'd
propose using a movieclip instead of a button, the mask will work,
and you can add your onRelease, onRollOver etc. events just the
same with movieclips, since Flash 6 this is.

How can I make the background one solid color? It is too difficult and noticeable when I use the retouch button and try to erase all the creases in my backdrop. So, how can I have just a solid white background?

When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.

Can I use the "same" button multiple times for multiple galleries?

OK so I am extremely untrained in CS4 and Actionscript. However I have managed to get along fairly well until I started to dynamically upload images as a gallery. This works great if I have one gallery, but for my site I have 9 galleries!!! I have a back and next button, but I want to be able to use those same buttons for all of the galleries so they look the same. I have split them up and renamed them, but I am clueless on how to script the buttons to work. Please help...and don't laugh at my poor scripting. This is what I have now because I do not know where to put the other button names without getting errors.
stop();
next_btn .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
var imageNumber: Number=1;
function checkNumber(): void{
    next_btn.visible=true;
    back_btn.visible=true;
    if(imageNumber==15){
        trace(imageNumber);
    next_btn.visible=false;
    if(imageNumber==1){
        trace(imageNumber);
    back_btn.visible=false;
function nextImage(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
    imageNumber++;

I'm still a novice with Flash myself, but I have two comments.
First, at this point, won't your buttons control all galleries at the same time? Which means, if I go to image 5 in one gallery, then move to another gallery, I'll start at image 5, because the actions are all connected.
Second, you can definitely use the same buttons for multiple galleries. It seems to me that as long as you've assigned the buttons an instance name, these actions should already work to control all the galleries (see the note above). I guess I would need to understand a bit more about how your project is built.

How do I use a push button digital trigger with my 6034E DAQ board?

I am only a Lab View toddler.
I am currently using a push button, wired to PFIO/TRIG1 and DGND, with a anolog trigger. However noise is causing my program to be triggered. I was told that a digital trigger would help to reduce the random triggering. How do I create a push button digital trigger?
Thanks

How to suppress Save As dialog when using the Close button on an editable pdf

Environment: Windows 7, SDK 9, Adobe Acrobat Pro X, Visual Studio 2010 Professional
Summary: when a document is opened for editing using automation, edited, then closed using the "Close" button, the confirmation dialog appears, "yes" is selected and then the "Save As" dialog appears. It should save without the "Save As" dialog in the same way it does were the document opened from Adobe Acrobat directly. My question is, is there any flag to set which governs whether the "Save As" dialog appears as part of the close document process. It is behaving as if the document is read-only upon close. (it isn't)
This is how the document is opened from C++:
if(SUCCEEDED(hr = ::CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(Adobe9::Acrobat::CAcroAVDoc), 0, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IUnknown, (void**)&pUnk))){
hr = OleRun(pUnk);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr)){
if (SUCCEEDED(hr = pUnk->QueryInterface(&pAVDoc))){
hr = pAVDoc->Open((BSTR)CComBSTR(strPath), strDocName, &bRet);
Even when the plugin is removed from the plug_ins\AcrobatSDK directory, the behaviour is the same.
Another reproduction is running the BasicIacVC sample, commenting out all lines from gAcroPdDoc->Close(); in InitInstance() and returning TRUE. If an editable document is opened using the sample, edited then closed using the "X" button, the confirmation dialog is followed by a "Save As" dialog as if it were a read-only document which it is not.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Evan

Yes, it does. (as long as the pdf has been opened via a COM interface)

How do I use directional PDA buttons in LabVIEW programs?

Hi all,
I've been assigned to get a LabVIEW program to work on a Palm PDA with LabVIEW 7.0 and palm PDA module 7.0. I am basically totally new to LabVIEW, and my possibly very simple problem is, the PC program requires input from a serially connected number pad for the 8, 4, 5, 6, and 2 keys which are used as four directions (8, 4, 6, and 2) and an enter (5).
I am trying to rewrite the input vi to use the directional buttons and middle enter button on the PDA itself but am having trouble figuring out what to use. I am using a PDA simulator because of the PALM OS5 we own. The input demo vi example provided will not build for PDA because of size so I am unsure of how to approach this. Another thing is, we have LabVIEW and PDA module for pocket PC 8.0, and a Dell Axim PDA on order. From what I understand off of this website, the latest PDA module has example button vi's. I would still like to figure out the way to do this on 7.0 so I can have a better understanding of LabVIEW. Eventually the program's endgoal is to be used on a PDA and inputting with a bluetooth keyboard, but we are going step by step right now.
I guess my biggest questions are, how do I assign the directional buttons on the PDA in my program, and will this differ greatly when we switch to 8.0 and pocketPC.
Oh and I did try to look at the example asteroid.vi but from looking at the input subvi, still couldn't figure out how they assigned the buttons.
Thanks,
Stephen

I can't help with any specifics (no access to the PDA module at the moment and I didn't use the buttons anyway), but I would like to say that it probably would make a big difference if you used LV 8. 7.0 was the first version of the PDA module and was extemely limited and problematic (it didn't even have a tab control). 7.1 was somewhat better and I understand that 8 is even better (although still very limited and buggy).
I also remember reading about several differences between Palm and PocketPC and I think you will generally be better off with the PocketPC as it's related to windows and will probably support more stuff.

After downloading the app for my Note 10.1-2014, synced my Desktop bookmarks, I cannot see the 3-bar menu and when I do use my menu button it does not work.

I have searched all the ways I know about this. I have FF V28 on my PC.
I downloaded FF v 28.0.1 and I cannot get the 3 bar / dot menu on my Note 10.1-2014 tablet.
All your support notes describe the possibility of using my Home button, main button and even the back button.
Still no luck and really want to use it on my tablet.

Hi rketek1, you may be viewing information about something other than the current release of Firefox for Android.
When using the Knowledge Base here, if the article title doesn't mention Android, check the "Editing Tools" section in the left sidebar to make sure it specified Firefox for Android and not one of the desktop versions.
For what it's worth, I have attached screen shots of the "3-dot" menu from a Nexus 5. "Back" is a <s>physical</s> button on the device, so it doesn't appear on the screen ''within Firefox''.

I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

When I try to forward a PDF file by using the email button on the toolbar, it won't send.

I cannot always forward a PDF using the email button on the toolbar. For example, I get a report forwarded to me as a link. When I open the link, the document opens as a PDF. I use the email button on the toolbar to forward the document as an attachment. Outlook pops up as a new message with the attachment. I finish writing my email and hit the "send" button and I get an error saying the doucment couldn't be sent. If I close the email and save it as a draft, I can open the draft copy and it will send. Is there someway to fix this so I can eliminate these extra steps? This has happened on a computer with Adobe Reader as well as a computer with Adobe Acrobate 9 Standard.

Is that the exact message that Outlooks gives you?
Anyway, why don't you just forward the original link to the document, instead of the PDF itself?

I have an error message that won't go away and stops me from using any other buttons in the screen.

I have an error message reading 'item over 1 byte. Connect to a wifi network or use iTunes on your computer to download 'tv show'.
When I connect it to iTunes or use a wifi network nothing changes. The warning remains in place no matter how many times I push 'ok'. iTunes actually says the show is already fully downloaded.
I can't use any other button or controls because the only thing responding is the 'ok' button on the error message.
I've now given up and am just trying to exhaust the battery. What a joke. This device is only a week old.
Anyone else with a suggestion on how to make the error message go away? I'm worried this will happen again.
Thanks!

Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Using the radio button component to go to a frame on a MovieClip

hello,
I am using the radio button component in Flash with a continue button.
When the user clicks their option in the radio button and then clicks continue, I want it to go to a movieClips Specific frame.
Here is the breakdown and the script I have so far is below.
The radio group os named RadioButtonGroup
The instance names for each of the three options are noviceButton,intermediateButton,expertButton
My continue button has an instance name of continueButton
and my movie clip I am trying to target has an instance name of level_mc
here is my code so far:
continueButton.enabled=false
noviceButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
intermediateButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
expertButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
function revealContinue(evt){
continueButton.enabled=true;
continueButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickContinue);
function clickContinue(evt){
var frameNumber=mc_levels.Number(noviceButton.group.selectedData)
gotoAndStop (frameNumber);
the problem starts with my varFrame line-I don't know how to get it to go to the movieClip and gotoAndStop at a specific frame, based on which radio button was clicked and after the continue button is clicked.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?
thanks
babs

use:
continueButton.enabled=false
noviceButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
intermediateButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
expertButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
function revealContinue(evt){
continueButton.enabled=true;
continueButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickContinue);
function clickContinue(evt){
var frameNumber=mc_levels.Number(noviceButton.group.selectedData)
level_mc.gotoAndStop (frameNumber);

How to write a numeric value to a plc register using a radio button

I'm want display a HOA (HAND/OFF/AUTO) on my screen. Lookout is connected to a Allen Bradley PLC. I am trying to write to a "N" register. I want to write a zero to open all (eg) N7:10 bits, writing a one (1) will close a contact N7:10/0 and writing a two (2) will close N7:10/1 etc. How do I do it? Can I use a radio button and if so, how?

ICI,
Just wanted to let you know that you have posted your question in the
MATRIXx part of the forum. There is a specific board for
Lookout. If you repost your message there you will be more likely

Using the Submit button to Email

I was previously using Frontpage and I have just recently
started using DW so a lot of this is still new to me. I did get the
DW8 for dummies book which is helping a lot, although I know being
a member on a forum like this will help much more. So any help is
very much appreciated.
I am new to this site and did a quick search but I wasn't
able to find what I was looking for.
I am basically planning on creating an order form using basic
radio buttons and name, address, contact info, etc... fields.
I wanted to have a button on the batton (like the submit
button) that a customer could click on after filling out the
specific fields and then the whole page/order form (with its
contents) would be emailed to me.
Could the "Submit" be used to do this? I know in the DW 8 for
Dummies book it mentions that the Submit button is for credit card
processing companies to send the info and then come back with the
results, but I just want it to email the completed page/order form
so the credit card can be processed in the office.

> Why isn't it as simple as entering in a
"mailto:[email protected]" type of
> thing? Or is it?
It is that simple. However, it is very unreliable. For it to
work, the
visitor filling out the form has to have a properly
configured email client,
that works with the webpage form. That leaves out people
using webmail
services and those using public computers. And- most
computers will put up
a warning screen that the form data is being sent by an
insecure method and
give the person a choice to send or cancel.
>

Setting up a form processing script can be very simple.
First step- check your hosting's support/FAQ section for info
about forms
and scripts.
if your hosting has a control panel or CPanel, look there for
a
pre-installed script and instructions on using it.
The free kaosmailer extension at
http://kaosweaver.com will create
the
scripting for you, within dreamweaver, for your choice of
asp/php/coldfusion. (pick the one your hosting supports)
A php script is phpformmail at
http://boaddrink.com
An asp script is at
http://www.brainjar.com/asp/formmail/
A cgi/Perl script would be at
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net
(but it would
be my last choice, a php script would be far easier to set
up)
Any further specifics totally depend on what scripting method
you can use on
this hosting, and on what script you want to use.
