    Default Buttons

    Help! Next to the start button is the button for the
    current page I am on. When I change to another site
    instead of another button appearing that I can toggle
    between sites the original button is replaced by the
    button of the new page and I can not go back to the
    original site without starting over. How can I make it
    so I will have multiple buttons? I did not have this
    problem with Windows 98, but ever since I have had
    Windows XP I have had this issue. Thanks in advance for
    any assistance. Regards, Doug

    Default Re: Buttons

    Sounds like you have Grouping turned on. Here is an explanation.

    Displays taskbar buttons for files opened by the same program in the same
    area of the taskbar. In addition, if the taskbar becomes so crowded with
    buttons that the width of the buttons shrinks beyond a certain width, then
    the buttons for the same program are collapsed into a single button.
    Clicking the button lets you access the document you want. Right-clicking
    the button lets you close all the documents you want.

    To turn it off, RIGHT click the start menu, go to Properties and UNTICK

    Default Buttons

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to click on a button and change the background of the stage area, if so how do Igo about it.
    Thanks.

    Default Re: Buttons

    Yep.

    How depends on what you want the background of the stage to do, though. This code changes the background color of the stage to a random color:

    on mouseUp me
    -- the three random elements should be replaced with the colour values you want
    set the bgColor of the stage = rgb(random(255), random(255), random(255))
    end

    was that what you were after?

    Use the export function and export images and HTML to your dreamweaver site
    folder. Make sure when the export windows shows, choose the options button
    to set your options for exporting.

    PHP is serverside, and not client side, meaning that anything you want
    to do is client side.

    Server side means that the server executes the code, and prints
    something to the browser, it can not close browser windows or anything.

    Client side means its run in the users browser, this is why JavaScript
    which is run Client side can close a users browser, whereas PHP can not.

    No no no no no ! PHP is server side, it can not do anything like this !
    The only way to make a button which closes the window is a form button with
    javascript.

    But you can return 'dynamic' javascript using PHP:
    echo "<input type='button' value='Ga naar $ergens'
    onclick=\"javascript:navigate('$ergens')\">";

    How to make a group of buttons such that the last button that is pressed is
    the one that remains in the down state? In fact how do you make any button
    stay in the down state after clicking on it?

    cheers

    Use movie clips instead of buttons. If you want the button functionality
    but you are not working in flash 6, just put a blank button in the movie
    clip, and have it's actions affect the clip. Make sense?

    Default buttons

    I have made a button pic in photoshop, which i imported to flash, and then i made made lots of button from getting the graphic from th library, which then made my navbar. I think grouped al the buttons to to be movie clip, and then made each button inside the movie clip a "button". Then, i went to animat the button, so i went into the "button" and inserted a key frame in each of the for frames (up, over, down , hit). i then went to animat the "over" frame" so i made the button a movie clip, and went inside it to creat the animation. I inserted keyframes and made the instance a movie clip and the motion tweened it. everything is working fine. I click "enable simple buttons" and go to test the button, and when i roll over, nothing happens. What am i doing wrong?
    thanks
