Adobe Designer 7.0 - help urgently needed!

[Former Community Member]

Dear all,



I need to create a button and add an action to it (exporting data). When creating a button at the moment, however, there are only three types of buttons I can chose from and nothing to add an action to the button!



How do I do this!?



Any help would be appreciated!

In the Library palette's Standard tab, you'll find many different kinds of buttons: (Regular) Button, Print Button, Email Submit Button, HTTP Submit Button and Reset Button. The (Regular) Button, once on the form and selected, can be made into a submit or execute button.



If you're wanting to have form data submitted to an email or HTTP site, I would suggest using the email or HTTP submit buttons, respectively. Just fill-out the properties in the Object palette.



If you need to do some custom steps (pertaining to this "action" you want to add), you can do so by adding script via the Script Editor. Select the button then select the event (action) you want to add script to in the Script Editor's
Show drop down list.

Note that only the "regular" button object has the click event enabled. For all of the other predefined buttons (email, http submit, etc.) the click event is disabled as the button is already providing specific functionality (email, http submit, etc.) when clicked.
