Multi-purpose buttons not working in DPS.

Aug 9, 2012 4:40 PM

Tags: #dps #buttons #interactive #cs6 #object_state

The multi-button effect I made works great in the SWF Preview but doen't work at all in the Content Viewer. Is it because DPS can not support it? Should I stick with Object States? I'm just frustrated because I thought I figured out a great way to show and hide captions using buttons alone.

 

Thanks for the input!

    It's called SWF Preview for a reason. You need to get yourself more familiar with what is and what is not supported in DPS.

    You'll need to use object states to do this, DPS does not support SWF.

    Although your reply is correct, you don't need to be snarky. 4 pluses behind your name should not lead to jerkiness. I am a beginner and I like that Adobe has this forum so beginners like me can learn DPS. I didn't expect though I would be made to feel more stupid by someone who supposedly is an Adobe expert. Next time Bob, avoid my questions like the plauge. Thank you.

    And thanks Neil, I figured that. I have no one at my company that knows DPS and I work with for a company with 3000k employees and 10% designers. So I relying on every bit of training I can get my hands on, Adobe TV, the pdf guide of DPS and Lynda.com. There is no buget to have an expert come in to teach me either. I found the forums a few days ago and was very pleased. But now after today, I am not so sure. And I'm not being to sensitive either, I thought this place is about camaraderie, guess not. It's about earning MVP status and pluses. sad.gif

    Here's a link to an article about supported interactivity features:

    I also recommend that you download the free DPS Tips app.
