Content that scrolls off the page

Hi there
I have an AS3 project where some  content had to be scrolled in a browser to be seen.
The problem is that when a button is clicked where the html scroller has been used the flash frame to which it goes is in the same position ie at the bottom of the frame. Is there a way to make sure that the new frame is at the top?
I have tried using
ExternalInterface.call("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)" );
and
   //navigateToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:window.scroll(0,0);"), '_self');
to no avail.
suggestions?
thanks
Tina

Hi again
This is what I have.
function goStones (e:MouseEvent):void{
ExternalInterface.call("scroll", 0, 0);
gotoAndStop("stones");
which is not working at all. If I take the ExternalInterface line out it works but obviously moves to the label but not the top of the frame as I wish.
I am pretty new to as3....
help?
thanks
Tina

  • How do I get rid of the extra table of contents that appears following the Pages export to epub?

    When I export my document to epub out of Pages and then open it in ibooks (or any other ereader for that matter)  an extra table of contents with links to the document sections appears at the beginning. This toc has its own numbering system--with its numbers set in front of those I have assigned. This toc is ugly and superfluous and doesn't seem to have anything to do with the table of contents available in the dropdown menu used while actually reading the document. How do I get rid of this extra table of contents? I'm sure I must be missing something obvious, but I can't find a way to remove it. Thanks for any help with this problem.

  • Posts that scroll off the bottom

    Is it just me? When a post gets pushed down off the bottom of the lists, how do you access it again? I see no "Page 2" or "Next Page" option as ALL other forums have. I wanted to answer the very last post at the bottom of the list, and right before my eyes, it just disappeared, "bumped" from the list by a new posting coming in above.
    Thanks
    Jeff

    No, but you can keep moving towards the bottom. See first tip:

  • HT201361 How do I take a screenshot of a long window that has content too far off the page to see?

    I know about standard tools for capturing screenshots of:
         • whole screen
         • a given window
         • a given selected area drawn with the mouse
    But oftentimes I have a window that has content outside the visible area - where I'd have to scroll up or down to see it all, and cannot see it all at one time. I usually try to shrink the magnification to get it all in my visible area, but this often doesn't work, and degrades resolution.
    I'd really like a tool that captures the whole contents of a long window.  There's got to be a way. How?
    Thanks. - Josh

  • Content is going off the page to the right.

    My content is going to far to the right and it looks weird, the header/footer background stops and there is about an inch of the blue background until the right border dotted-line shows up. Any ideas?

    All browsers have different defaults. You need to zero everything out in your CSS.

  • When I load Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. No matter what web page I go to the content stays darker than the navigation bar. This just started today. All other applications work fine.

    When I bring up Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. This just started today. No matter what web site I go to, the content is darker than the navigation pane.

    If it's happening on all sites, then assuming that it's Safari that you're using, have you tried clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (other browsers should have similar options, possibly within the actual app instead of within Settings). You could also try closing the app completely : from the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app (or whichever browser you're using) to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If it's only happening on a particular site then there may be content on that site that isn't supported on the iPad e.g. flash, java, silverlight

  • How do I change the compatibility view so that my words are not running off the page?

    I do data entry and in the system I am working on the words are running off the page. In internet explorer there is a little broken page on the tool bar that lets you change the compatibility and I am not finding anything like that with firefox. Please advise how I can change the setting so that the words will wrap correctly.

    As far as I know, Firefox doesn't have a similar compatibility feature.
    I assume this system is not accessible to forum volunteers, so I'm going to ask you to do a little sleuthing. I assume you are entering text in a multi-line textbox (an HTML <textarea> control). Could you do the following:
    * Have your text entry form open in one tab, and a reply to this thread in another tab.
    * Right-click in the control that doesn't wrap and choose Inspect Element. A small pane should open with part of the HTML highlighted in blue.
    * Right-click the highlighted <textarea> tag and choose Copy Outer HTML.
    * In your reply tab, paste the HTML, and remove the leading < character to avoid messing up your post. This will show any legacy settings on the tag that might be affecting how it wraps.
    Here's an example using this very box:
    textarea style="width: 567px; height: 616px;" rows="10" name="content" required="required" placeholder="Enter your reply here." cols="40" id="id_content"></textarea>
    If it's not a textarea, then that would be useful to know as well.
    * Back in your form, you may or may not have a pane to the right that shows various style rules. If not, click the Style button at the lower right to open it. Look for any rules with the '''white-space''' property (the properties normally appear in colored text). If you find one, right-click and choose Copy declaration line. Switch back to this tab and paste the rule.
    With that information, hopefully we can find a workaround.

  • Many of my photos appear briefly as I scroll down the page then disappear leaving a box outlined with a broken-line.  The menu bar says that I have 300 pictures hidden, but I am unable to get them unhidden.

    I am experiencing difficulty with iPhoto '11.  Some of more recent photos can not be accessed.  As I scroll down the page of photos, the most recent ones appear briefly, then disappear to be replaced with a box outlined by a broken-line.  The menu bar says that I have 317 photos hidden.  Hiding photos is not something that I normally do, can't imagine why these are hidden.  Anyway, when I try to unhide the photos, I can view them as an event, but if I click on a single photo, or try to move it into an album, the photo does not display.  Instead I get a dark exclamation point within a triangle.  Another problem with these same photos is on the event page there is no key photo for these events only a dark screen.  I can't find an answer to my problem.  Has anyone experienced this?  What is the problem and how can I correct it?  

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • When I print a web page, how do I adjust the printe margins so that the headers and footers don't fall off the page?

    I have looked for a way to adjust the page margins for printing, but can't find it. I have found where to adjust what prints in the header and the footer. When I print, the headers and footers are so close to the edge, and sometimes half off the page edge at the top and the bottom, that I can't really read them. This didn't happen in the past. Maybe this has changed since the last update - I'm not sure. Is there a way that I can fix this, so that my headers and footers are readable?
    Thanks.

    Someone else reported this sound last September, but there wasn't any resolution to that thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938003 After upgrading to Snow Leopard on my Mac, Firefox makes typewriter or paper crinkling sounds when going to links and sites].
    Does it seem to be at all related to whether pages use Flash? Just wondering whether it is some kind of notification sound related to Flash's capabilities of using the webcam and microphone.

    HAVING A PROBLEM WHEN I PRINT A WEB PAGE WHICH IS MORE THAT ONE PAGE LONG. ONLY THE FIRST PAGE PRINTS TO SCALE...THE REMAINING PAGES PRINT OFF THE PAGE????HELP-IT IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH SAFARI??

    Thank you for the response. I tried to fix the problem with some of the suggestions on that page, but none seem to work. I believe that is the only website that I'm having that problem on. I got to fooling with it a bit more and when I highlight the whole page and select to print the selected area, it actually prints the whole page then, but it won't do it as a default. I guess I can just do it like that from now on, but I thought there would be something in the settings that I could have changed. Thanks again for the help.

  • Safari Scrolling Down The Page Automatically

    Why is Safari Scrolling Down The Page Automatically? This started 3-Days ago... Also we keep getting the "MacKeep - PopUp" Everytime we Click on an Item in the Original Screen.
    We have All the Latest Update for OS X 10.9.5
    This is Clearly a Software Issue I have spoken to others who are experiencing the same.
    How do we Fix This Bug in Safari?

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Subform text flows off the page

    My subform text in preview doesn't page break. It flows right off the page. And I do have "Allow Page Breaks within Content" checked inside the Object tab. What's wrong?

    everything that your subform is a child of has to page break, as well. So, your text field has to allow page breaks, as does your subform, any other subforms that the subform is contained in, and the page itself. Normally if you have a problem like this, there's something else that contains your text field that will have a yellow triangle on it with an exclamation mark, and it will say something like, "This object may not work properly. Although the object is allowed to break, deselecting the Allow Page Breaks Within Content option of the parent object resctricts this object from breaking between pages."

    fiddledum,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I would recommend that you check out Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther, by Kurt Lang.
    Another possibility is to Quit Address Book, find the com.apple.AddressBook.plist in the ~Library/Preferences Folder. Drag it to the Desktop, and log out/in or restart.
    Attempting to install a newer version as you have discovered will not work.
