Hi
I want to implement a floating menu on the pdf forms developed using livecycle.
As I have soem buttons at the end of the form(Which consists of 10 pages). Instead of user going all the way downa nd clcik any of the button
I want to implement a floating menu on left hand side which will move as the user changes pages
Is it possible , if so can somebody give me an example or a location where i can find some tutorials.
thanks

Hi,
As far as I know you cannot incorporate Flex or Flash into LC Designer. Form Guides are a Flash/Flex implementation; but you need the full enterprise suite to run these (as far as I know).
Here is a sample, but it is a bit wasteful and will affect performance.
The master page has a series of textfields which track the position of the mouse (on mouseEnter) and set the position of the subform to that position. The access to these textfields is set back to "open" on mouseExit, so that it is available to track the mouse again. It is a bit clunky and given that it will affect performance, I would be inclined to go with a fixed panel.
Good luck,
Niall

Hi,
Yes there is Javascript in the mouseEnter event of each textField on the master page:
var mouseY = 823.89 - event.target.mouseY; // working from top of page..
var newY = (mouseY + "points").toString();
indexSubform.y = newY; // sets position of subform
this.access = "protected"; // to prevent the user inputting data
You need an event to capture the current mouse position. I cannot work out a way for a numericField to constantly update the current mouse position (in real time).
I don't think that there is an equivalent of pageY or screenY in LC Designer, so I don't know how to track page views.
Good luck,
Niall
