Widget trigger

Can a widget be used to trigger an audio or video clip? I'd like to have a clip play on cue without having the video's key frame visible all the time.

I want to hide the video until it is called by a "button" of sorts. I also would like to do this with an audio file. I have both items working currently, but would rather them not be visually present until summoned by the reader.

Photoshop rollover in Lightbox Widget Trigger Problem

Hi all
I've got a lovely photoshop button with a nice rollover effect and it looks great. I've been trying to use it in the trigger of a Lightbox Widget as per the instruction in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4768861#4768861
The problem is that the rollover isn't triggered when rolled over. The rollover state of the trigger changes but the PSD doesn't.
Can anyone help?

You seem to have missed something there.
Please check the result of following the steps in that forum post: http://testpsmuse.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
The third trigger is the one that contains the Photoshop Button. Could you confirm that you imported the PSD using File > Place Photoshop Button... and not File > Place...
Cheers,

Composition widget won't work

I have set a composition widget trigger so I can have a rollover drop down menu on top of a main nev menu item. The main page is redundant and I just need it there so I can show the sub pages. I set the page preference to "Include page without hyperlink" within the site plan. The trigger works fine when the hyperlink is set to on, but now its deactivated link the trigger no longer works. I thought the triggers were separate and therefore it didn't matter if the hyperlink below worked or not?
I really want the user to hover over the link and be able to see the drop down menu on rollover. Please help as I have alot of sub-menu pages that I need access to from the main nav menu!
Any ideas please?

I have cracked this now! It turns out I wasnt using the master or layers correctly! D'oh!

Odd behavior when duplicating pages

I have run into some odd behavior when duplicating pages.
First I spent many hours trying to acomplish a double trigger effect in which the last trigger opened a large image in a pop up window. Thanks to help from agm 123 and Sachin Hasija see the posts here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5186239#5186239
And the result here: http://ljusa.businesscatalyst.com/stockholm--1.html
I had to do a number of work arounds, but succeeded and will help anyone interested to reproduce this type of effect.
My next step was to recreate this effect for another 50 pages. The best way I have found is to duplicate the first page. This is where it gets weird.
When I create a duplicate and replace the images in the newly created pages (done by changing the fill to the new image) with different ones and save it the changes are effected on the original page, not the clone. No big problem, just switch the names and continue.
The next problem that occurs is that when I go to make further copies a variety of odd behaviors creep in. The biggest problem is a repositioning or resizing of photo frames/containers. The images do not change, just move as the frame resizes. When I try to resize the frame it snaps back to it's larger new size. This is a phenomenon that I have seen in other instances in work with lightboxes and slideshows. It seems that some other unseen element has jumped into the frame with the original frame.
The method I have used to create these pages is as described in the post at: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5186239#5186239
It involves creating a blank composition widget and then placing a composition lightbox widget trigger into the blank hero.
I have already invested more time than I should have on this and would like to keep it simple, yet as I have 50 pages to go I could start from scratch if someone has a better method of doing this.
Suggestions?

Just an update.
I haven't seen the naming problem with duoplicates reoccur. I am however still stuggling with duplicates.
I have a page with 5 image frames linked to images which in turn trigger a lightbox. When I create a duplicate of a page there is always at least one of my image frames that moves and or a link to an image that is dead. The only recourse I have had is to recreate one of the lifgtboxes for each new page I create. With all the formatting this is time consuming.
I have tried copying and pasting the entire page into a blank page, but then there are even more problems.
I have also tried to save my lightbox as a graphic style, but that dooesn't seem to work either.
Please Help! I've got at least 45 more of these pages to replicate1

Popup Box

Can I set it up where a little box pops up when I scroll over certain words? For example, my site has Scripture references. I want people to be able to point to the reference and a box pops up with the verse.

Hello,
You can put those words (on hovering over which, the popup box should appear), in a textbox over a tooltip widget trigger. When you hover over it, it would show the contents that you would put in the target area of the tooltip widget.

I want to use a customized photoshop button with my composition and have rollover effect

I'm trying to place a photoshop button into a blank composition widget trigger. When I cut a paste the image into the trigger it looses its fuctionality and no longer switches colors during rollover. It works fine in the lightbox composition, but the problem with lightbox composition is that it does not have rollover options to display the target only click. How do I get around this problem. I want to have my own customized button with the composition effect within muse cc.

You should check the design layout and states defined for the trigger , if the state is defined properly then it should show the rollover state, but the target container corresponding to the trigger is on the page then it would show you the active state not the rollover state.

Can I add a new trigger to the beginning instead of at the end of a blank composition widget?

Hi guys,
I am creating a photo gallery page using the Blank Composition widget. I want to be able to add new content regularly by adding new photos to the top (beginning) of the gallery so my newest photos show at the beggining of the gallery.
Currently, the little + symbol to add another trigger only adds a new trigger to the right (bottom) of group of triggers, effectively putting newly added content to the back of the gallery instead of at the front. Am I able to get it to add a new trigger to the beginning of the group and have that trigger be the first in the group to display?
All the widget's seem to display this same order behaviour, so I'm quite stuck on how to get around this. I've tried re-arranging the triggers, but that has become insanely cumbersome every time I want to add new photos to the beginning of the group and move the older ones further down the gallery order.
Any help would be greatly appreciated with this, cheers, David.

OK
I'm a newbie.
I have the same problem. I've looked at some recommended 3rd party widgets and they don't do what I want either.
Another method would be to start a nabble.com blog and embed that in to Muse, but then the news would not be seen by web crawlers and benefit your ranking on your own page. (I think)
This is a rubbish work around but, I'm going to add a new news widget every month. I only get 5-6 bits of news a month, so by adding a new widget above the last each time, that will push the old news down the page.
Hope this helps someone.

Slideshow Starts When Clicking Trigger in Composition Widget

When inserting different slideshows into a composition widget (different slideshows placed within different targets), have the slideshows start from the beginning when the corresponding trigger is clicked. The slideshow would play in order, starting with the first slide, when the trigger is clicked rather than have it playing continuously when viewing other targets.

This seems like a no-brainer. I mean why would we want all slideshows to start at the same time when you're only viewing one at a tme. WHen I click from one slideshow to another, it should start from ONE! Muse staff....any ideas?!!!

Trigger/target and html widget problem

hi! I created a 'blank composition', triggers change when rollover, my problem is that html widget I put in the first target dissapears after rolling over on 2nd trigger and never comes back again (after rolling on the first one more time) ...please help..!

Hello,
This seems to be working fine on my end. The HTML box shows up everytime I hover over the same trigger. Can you confirm that the component in placed in the right place, in the target area of the composition?

Tool tip widget - adding new trigger/target to existing tips causes entire composition to jump off page

I have a composition with about 10 - 20 tool tips and when I add a new tip (using the button with the +) it places the new tip but causes the entire composition of all the tips to jump thousands of pixels away from where it should be on the page. I've been working around it by setting up a page where I do nothing but edit my tool tip composition and copy/paste it onto the page where it will be in the site. I can't figure out why adding additional tool tips would cause the entire composition to jump wildly – usually it jumps downward by about 2300 pixels. I've tried working on it where I let it jump (and don't place it back where it should be on the page, working on it where ever it lands) and I've tried placing back to the original location it each time it jumps but both ways still result in a giant move for the composition of tool tips.
Working on a 2013 MacPro, OS 10.10 in Muse CC 2014.2.1.10 (although this has been happening with every version of Muse on several different computers).

Yes, it is the Tool Tip widget (the dialog box just says "Composition"). Setting it to "Stacked" doesn't seem to make any difference when adding a new Tool Tip. When I click the "+" next to the last one, it adds the new trigger in a different place - usually the distance is the same as when I repositioned the last trigger. It does that for a few times, then it will position a new trigger far away from the area where I've been working. Sometimes it positions it entirely off the page.
Wish there was a way to know where it was gonna end up, better yet, wish there was a way to set where it ends up. Other widgets in the Composition group do this too, but they don't place the new triggers so erratically. In the calendar graphic, it will take all the Tool Tips & triggers, along with the grouped background art and move everything to a completely different location, hundreds of pixels away from the original position. I loaded everything onto another computer and it did the same thing. (BTW - I'm using Mac OS 10.8.4, MacPro & MacBook Pro) Frustrating...

I am trying to do a blank composition widget, but it keeps ignoring my state changes for the trigger. How can I have my state changes still work for things placed in the trigger?

So below is what I have so far. The menu is working perfectly, thanks to a few Youtube tutorials. And everything is linked correctly. But the only thing is that the "WORK" button doesn't respond to the state change that is set up for it. I tried applying the state change before I placed it in the trigger area, and after. Neither seems to make it work.
The goal state change is basically that the text "WORK" will turn white, and the white space within the teal stroke will also turn teal. So, the colors will reverse. I have a link next to it, "ABOUT" that is currently successfully doing it. I guess if it's not possible then I will have to figure out another design..but I'd like to see if there is a way to do it!

I believe you are trying to get a color state for composition when its active ? please publish the site and provide the url to have a look.
Thanks,
Sanjit

SCOM2012R2 Powershell Grid Widget - Can I control the trigger?

Hi everyone,
I'm currently playing around with the new Widgets in SCOM2012R2 and came across a rather anoying Situation regarding the Powershell Grid Widget.
In my test Dashboard I have 4 Grids with different Widgets as following:
State Widget - Shows several Groups that contain Computer Objects
Contextual Alert Widget
Details Widget
Powershell Grid Widget - takes the Globalselected Item and Shows all RelatedMonitoring Objects + Details from a subclass of those
This works perfectly fine, when I select either a Group in the State Widget or a Monitored Object in the PS Grid Widget.
But as soon as I select an Alert to get more Information about it, the Alert Object is passed to the Powershell Grid Widget and, as the Script is not set up for Alert info, it Shows nothing.
My question is, if there is a way to Limit the Powershell Grid Widget in a way, that it only reacts to interaction in the State Widget, but not in the Alert Widget?
regards
Tobias

I usually have a routine for that and check if I get data from the monitoring object. If not, I go for alert data.
Cheers,
Patrick

How to Create a trigger code for turning on light bulbs in flash and animate images professional cs6

hi,
i designed a very interactive music website in illustrator and photoshop and i am trying to animate the main page design in flash professional and eventually publish it as HTML5. There are couple of questions i need to ask before starting
1) should i import my design in differnet layers from illustrator into flash professional in order to make it easier to isolate and animate specific parts of the web page?
2) i want to have a roll over effect that allows certain features in the page to turn on and off when the mouse hovers over them. can you explain how to do that? any tutorial videos i could follow
3) what format should i use when importing my illustrator design into flash professional
4) how should i animate the content pop out from the safe box into the main screen in flash professional (i have never used this program before, so i will be going off video tutorials and whatever suggestions/help you would have)
**The idea is to have a content frame fly out of the safe into the screen (the size will increase rapidly and it will fade into the screen as well while rotating 360 degrees for one revolution). The content is a basic rectangular frame i designed in illustrator. The body of this frame will be transparent allowing me to embed the main page features into it eg music, videos, bio etc. All this will be done in the later process, the main issue is figuring out how to animate the content frame into the screen and also creating a click feature that allows the content to fly back into the safe and then the safe closing in.
Secondly, the trigger code rollover effect that allows certain features light to turn on when the mouse hovers over it and turn over when its not.****

I think you'll get most flexibility by turning on the feature that lets you keep your Illustrator layers as Flash layers. You'll also want to check the box that lets you make an Illustrator object into a MovieClip for anything that you want to interact with or address through code.
Add an event listener for MOUSE_OVER that triggers whatever functions you need to create to turn on the features. This means that your object that you will mouse over will need to be a MC, as well as any other objects that will be addressed (for example, calling play()) will need to be a MC. You'll want to have a matching MOUSE_OUT handler that stops MC's, hides them, or whatever.
You should probably organize your Illustrator file so that the objects you need to address are on their own layers. This includes nested objects. Name things informatively. Remember, if the first import doesn't give you exactly what you want, you don't have to save the change--you can edit your settings or the Illustrator file and try again.
Look into motion tweens. I highly recommend the books "How to Cheat at Flash" and "Animation with Scripting." I don't really think the way they tell you to script will advance your career if you want to be a software architect, but if you just want to animate the occasional widget, it's fine.
