    Posted by Dan Sherman on May 11, 2006 at 4:13 pm

    Have four buttons on project title page,—all round ones found in DVDA.
    But when I apply image mask overlay it doesn’t take,—-a get a rectangle spilling onto the other buttons.
    Any thoughts?

    That should work.
    Send me the .dar file and I’ll take a look.

    I’ve seen this happen and I think I know what the problem is. When you clck on the button to edit it you need to shrink the box around it until it’s closer to the size of you button (not sure what that box is called). If that box is overlapping any other buttons you’ll get a highlight overlap as well.

    Hope this helps!

    Katt,

    Problem there is that when you make the
    box” smaller, the button also gets smaller.
    No a solution.

    What I’m assuming you’re seeing is the button that is supposed to be highlighted and masked is showing correctly, but there’s an overlap onto another button? If not then I read your post wrong. If that is what you are seeing then are you able to move the button slightly farther away from the other one? From my experience if one box is overlapping another button it seems to want to highlight whatever falls within that box.

    You may have to play with button placement to get it to work. I always just worked around it without any major issues. Maybe there’s another solution, but I know it’s always had to do with that box. Have you sent your dar to Gary?

    Good luck…

    Kattwoman,

    You are right!
    I have to limit the size of those round buttons in order to use a object mask overlay.
    Many thanks.

    Katt’s right. You have several overlapping areas defined. That’s what’s causing the problem.

    Sorry to trouble you with that.
    Should have picked up on it.
    Thanks to both of you.
