I need 12 buttons in a flash tease. I would also like to include timers for a bunch of the pages. My problem is that when I tested the 12 buttons with a normal timer, the timer is smack dab in front of buttons 7,8,9,10, well you get the idea. Does anyone know if there are any script changes you can use to force them timers to the top of the page where there is a bunch of room? If this isn't possible then I have to tell the viewers to open an online timer or grab their stopwatch, which is something you shouldn't have to mess with in a flash tease. Thank you!

use a hidden timer

I could do that with some of them but some timers need to be visable. Like "do such and such for the next 3 minutes" "do such and such at 1 per second" you know! I hope I don't have to adjust the whole tease because of this timer issue. Maybe the viewer won't mind using an online timer or I can switch to the 6 button layout!!??!!?? Thanks!

The best option I can think of is to use the following code (took me a while to work this out)

Spoiler: show

page2#page(
'',
vert(
text('<p><FONT SIZE="30"><u>Insert your own text here</u></FONT></p>'),

horiz(

vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 1</b></FONT>")),
vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 2</b></FONT>")),
vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 3</b></FONT>")),
vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 4</b></FONT>")),
vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 5</b></FONT>")),
vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 6</b></FONT>")),),

horiz(

vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 7</b></FONT>")),
vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 8</b></FONT>")),
vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 9</b></FONT>")),
vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 10</b></FONT>")),
vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 11</b></FONT>")),
vert(
pic("*.jpg"),
buttons(start#,"<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="13"><b>Option 12</b></FONT>"))),


),pic("*.jpg"),delay(10sec, start#)
);

The effect this has is putting the buttons (and an accompanying picture if you want) in the main area, with the time AND picture in the sidebar. here is an image of what i mean from the nyx editor.



What do you think?

Very interesting curiousSK, This has potential! Thanks for taking the time and working on it.

Have real real advice. Been a long time lurker. Have tried to create several flash teases myself but for various reasons have failed.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate your desire in creating a tease that doesn't require opening a metronome in another page. I find that very distracting from the tease and often avoid teases that do require that.

Sorry...meant...no real advice.

It's late here, I'm tired!!
