Help with Convert to Symbol

I'm trying to link a flash page to another flash page. I'm following the instructions given to me and it has worked up until now.
I convert the text to symbol>select button, then I go to actions, type in the filename.swf and add the level in the script assist.
The link is on a seperate layer, and I can't think of any reason why when I ctrl+enter to see it, the text hasn't changed to a button.
Any ideas or tips for what I'm missing or not doing quite right would be appreciated. Thanks, and I'm using CS3.

right click on your text, click convert to symbol, tick button (if that's the symbol type you want) and click ok.  test.  your text should respond to the mouse.
to code for a mouse handler, click on your text button, in the properties panel give your text button and instance name, say textBtn and in the actions panel type:
textBtn.onRelease=function(){
loadMovieNum("theswfyouwanttoload.swf",1);

  • Help with converting a Nero file

    I have previously converted a dvd insert designed with Nero into a pdf using adobe acrobat in order to send to someone else.  When I tried to do the same thing today with a new Nero designed insert the conversion wouldn't work.  The message said adobe didn't support the program that created the file.  Any ideas?

    thanks for your response.
    When I create a dvd insert or cd label etc using Nero the file extension is nct - nero cover template.  The printer wants the file as a pdf as he can't open Nero files.  I have version 9.3 of acrobat.

    Nero is simply a CD/DVD burning application and should have no effect on the type of files that will eventually be on the CD/DVD.
    What type of files are you trying to convert and exactly how are you trying to convert them? Plus, it would help to know the version of Acrobat you are using.

  • Problem With Convert to symbol

    I am having a stupid problem with the convert to symbol
    function in Flash 8 pro. When I import to library and then convert
    my first symbol, everything works fine. But then when I try to
    convert another piece of art to a symbol, it becomes the same
    symbol as before. so i can only convert 1 symbol. This just started
    happening. I'm converting to graphic symbols, and I have even
    uninstalled and reinstalled. Has anyone else had this
    problem?

  • Please Help with Converting PDF document to Word Document

    I have downloaded our PDF document to be converted to a word document --- it did not work correctly--we need help with this
    Scott Munsen
    Abbott House -- Mitchell, SD

    Good day Scott,
    I received your document via our File Conversion Issue form.  The root of the problem you're facing is the quality of the scan.  I'm not sure if you were starting with a poor quality hard-copy or simply low DPI settings on your scanner, but the reason the results you received were so different than the PDF was the quality of the input.
    If you're hard copy looks clearer than the PDF file you created, I would suggest increasing the resolution settings on your scanner.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.
    Kind regards,

  • Help With converting px to em...

    So, I thought that I would have a go at converting a site from all px to em to help with accessibility and using browser zoom.  I wish I'd never started!
    This is how I approached it.
         1) Set my font to 100%
         2) Change all font sizes to em
         3) Feel smug
         4) Notice that after a couple of ramps up on the zoom the layout goes pear-shaped
         5) Change all width/height dimensions to em
         6) Change all padding/margin dimensions to em
         7) Feel a little tearful
         8) Realise I don't have a back-up style sheet
         9) Re-draw WWW domination plan
         10) Start to make a little progress
         11) Try out the negative zoom
         12) See that screw my layout - don't understand it
         14) Add some min-width/min-height rules
         12) Feel a little tearful...
         13) Came here to be with friends
    I worked out I think, that using flexible units in a fixed environment is going to cause problems.
    I'm having trouble with layout more than text-size.  I think the only thing that will cause me grief with text-size is with nested element and the way that em is inherited but, the site is quite straight forward, apart from a few floated elements.
    I thnk my main problems are with the layout:  Images, background images and how to approach the whold width/height thing.
    Martin
    PS I won't be at my PC for a while so, if  you respond and I don't come back to you, it's not because I'm not interested.  I'm too ashamed and confused to post a live page!

    Hi Martin
    The one thing that confuses people when converting from px to em units is that they think px is a fixed size and em's are flexible, which unfortunately is not true, and just to confuse things even more Microsoft even treat px's as a relative size, (this is actually correct if you look at the css1 spec).
    The best advice I can offer is to start with the layout when converting to em's and worry about the font etc. later, because as they say a pixel is relative.

  • Help with converting FLAC to ALAC while retaining metadata and cover art

    Hi,
    I've decided to embark on the long trek to convert my 18k+ FLAC music library into ALAC. I've decided on ALAC for mainly 2 reasons: iTunes/iPhone/iMac/Sonos compatibility and my desire to keep with a lossless format.
    My library is pretty eclectic; I have quite a bit of classical music along with many other genres. I have spent quite a bit of time maintaining the correct tag information; I do not want to lose any of this info that I've painstakingly added to my library over the years. The tags that I use on my FLAC files are:
    Filename
    Title
    Artist
    Album
    Album Artist
    Disc Number
    Disc Count
    Compilation
    Comment
    Year
    Genre
    Track
    Composer
    Orchestra
    Conductor
    Performer
    Length
    Modified
    Path
    I want to be especially sure that I maintain the data in Composer, Orchestra, Performer and Conductor in my migration to ALAC. I also want to include my CD art in each track (many of which I had to scan since some of my CD's are not available for sale). The CD covers are stored in a "folder.jpg" file in the path of each CD's contents. I would really like the automated conversion process to pick up each "folder.jpg" and embed it in the appropriate tracks.
    I have a license for dbPowerAmp, so I can do the conversion on the Windows side if need be (I have BootCamp set up and use Fusion), but I would prefer to do everything in Mac.
    I am hoping that some of you good folks will offer up comments about the feasibility of this endeavor, and advise me on possible tools to use, paths to take, pitfalls to watch out for, etc.
    Thank you for your time.
    Mike

    I finally got done with the conversion. It took 2 weeks running XLD of 24x7, but at last it's over with.
    I first used iTunes "download missing album art" to start the process. It populated about 50% of my collection, but I found that many of the album art was wrong. For instance, with collections (various artists) it populated the album art from the first track; with others, it put in the wrong album cover for the right CD. These were mostly because iTunes would get a contemporary cover, where my cover was from an older pressing of the disk.
    I purchased a program called TuneUp which has helped with my missing album artwork, and also with correcting typos. But even with using TuneUp, I probably have a couple of weeks worth of work left to do.
    Then comes the renaming of the Classical music tracks.

  • Help with Converting an Access query

    Hello:
    First time poster and would appreciate some help in converting this Access query into T-SQL so I can use in a Stored Procedure. I don't need help in resolving the syntax for the variables as parameter in the second query, but stuck in writing the first query
    in T-SQL . I assume I need some type of nested query with a left join to another query in T-SQL. 
    How do I convert this from Access into MS-SQL
    SELECT TBL_MONTH.L_Month, TBL_MONTH.L_MonthName
    FROM TBL_MONTH LEFT JOIN qry_MonthCheck ON TBL_MONTH.L_Month = qry_MonthCheck.L_Month
    WHERE (((qry_MonthCheck.L_Month) Is Null));
    qryMonthCheck in Access is defined as
    SELECT TBL_MONTH.L_Month, TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_YEAR, TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_USER, TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_LOCATION
    FROM TBL_MONTH RIGHT JOIN TBL_SIGNOFF ON TBL_MONTH.L_Month = TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_MONTH
    WHERE (((TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_YEAR)=[forms]![frm_signoff]![cboyear]) AND ((TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_LOCATION)=[Tempvars]![tmpVarUserLOC]));

    It is very much up to personal taste. For tables I use no prefix at all. Or suffix. I prefer plural: categories, products, etc. For junction tables, I drop the plural in the first entity, for instance productcategories. As for the case, many people prefer
    initial uppercase, while I go for lowercase only. But initial uppercase has its points, particularly in documentation. I am a staunch advocate of using case-sensitive collation for metadata. I don't see any point in mixing productcategories, Productcategories,
    ProductCategories etc. That can only cause confusion.
    As for either entities, I don't use views much, and I don't have any prefix for these either. In fact, several views I've been involved used to be tables once upon a time.
    If you want to add a marker to the object name, I recommend using a suffix. It is much easier to find objects in the version control system and other browser, when not everything is cluttered on the same letter. For instance, I typically add _sp at the end
    of stored procedure names.

  • Please help with cannot find symbol error. Been struggling all day :(

    Hi all. :)
    Writing a game for my phone with KToolbar and have been getting a cannot find symbol error for every variable and method I try to use across Classes. I've looked all over and though it seems a common problem I always either don't understand or can't get working the various solutions. Example of my errors:
    C:\...\BTK800i.java:197: cannot find symbol
    symbol : variable youSayWhat
    location: class HelloCanvas
              youSayWhat=key;
              ^
    If I try BTK800i.variable or BTK800i.message I get a new error.
    C:\...\src\BTK800i.java:184: non-static method newOrdersSarge() cannot be referenced from a static context
              BTK800i.newOrdersSarge();
              ^
    Both these errors apply to both variables and methods. It only happens when I'm using methods/variables of one class in another, am I using public and private incorrectly? It doesn't seem to make a difference if I make variables public or leave them private, I'm trying to get to them with a public method within a private class. Is it something else? I really have no idea. :(
    Here's my code, it's long enough to be a tiresome read so I've tried to skip what I know isn't relevant.
    public class BTK800i extends MIDlet {
         private Display myDisplay;
         private HelloCanvas myCanvas;
         public int youSayWhat;
            //a whole bunch more skipped here, but I'm fairly certain it's not anything that'll help find a solution
         public BTK800i() {
              paused=false;
    public void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException {
              if( paused ) {
                   myCanvas.repaint();
              else {
                   myDisplay=Display.getDisplay(this);
                   myCanvas=new HelloCanvas();
                   myDisplay.setCurrent(myCanvas);
                   myCanvas.setFullScreenMode(true);
                   youSayWhat=0;
                           //again with the skipping, more code not related
    public void newOrdersSarge() {
    //whole bunch of code
    //other methods skipped
    class HelloCanvas extends Canvas {
         public void keyPressed (int key) {
              youSayWhat=key;
              repaint ();
    //skippage
    }The stuff I skipped is mainly either more of the same sorta thing or maths/writing to screen stuff.
    Thanks alot to anyone who helps. I'm really struggling with this. :(
    Dan.

    But I have been reading them :(
    My next-door neighbour unfortunately is an 80-something married man, but I will go have a looksie about static and instances.
    I thought the point of public variables was that other classes could use them, is this wrong?
    Also does this mean that to use the variables from my BTK class in the HelloCanvas class I need to first instantiate BTK? I don't understand how that works as the code starts running from the BTK class in the first place :S I guess more reading will help with this.
    Thanks very much for replying. :)
    Edit:
    OK I have read up on it but I don't think I found anything I hadn't read before. I tried to make a new class which I could instantiate to hold all the variables and methods I wanted everything to be able to access, but that went disastrously. Am I right in understanding that there are no global variables in Java? :s

    8 deci-seconds 0..9
    9 direction from UTC '+' / '-'
    10 hours from UTC 0..13

    For example I just took the time an hour ago it came out as
    07:db:06:13:12:11:1a:00:2b:05:1e
    I have to convert this as a date long value to send it.
    Do I have to write an utility of my own to do it?

  • Oracle SQL HELP with convert GMT to EST and DST and Date offset

    Hi, I have a query that does not seem to work trying to convert a date field that is in GMT to est and using extract(timezone_hour FROM TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ as an offsetr
    HEre is my sql
    dtl.start_dt_gmt + (extract(timezone_hour FROM TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ( dtl.start_dt_gmt,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS TZH:TZM'))/24 ) START_DT_Local
    If the date (dtl.start_dt_gmt) is may 1 and gmt starts at 04:00 AM , the extract offset produces -4
    However, if the date (dtl.start_dt_gmt) is Feb 1 which begins at 05:00 AM GMT, the date offset still gives 04. What am i doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
    Saul

    If your data is not associated with timezone then you'll have to use something like
    case when dt between A and B then dt-1/24 else dt end; <-- This will give you 1 hour back of EDT. So, as far as concern at database level, it is nothing to do at db level, because db is used by application, so you need to code in the app.
    Oracle never actually changes a TIMEZONE column value when you set your system to be on daylight savings time. There are several built-in DST DATE conversion functions for changing to daylight savings time:
    current_date
    current_timestamp
    localtimestamp
    dbtimezone
    sessiontimezone
    extract
    from_tz
    to_timestamp
    to_timestamp_tz
    to_yminterval tz_offset

  • Help with converting WMV files to quicktime movies for video ipod.

    Is there a way to convert my movies that play with the windows media player to a movie file that Quicktime Pro can use to export to my video ipod?
    I am running windows xp, can anyone help??

    File size is dicated by the bitrate of the file. From my review of (thousands) of WMV files there appears to be some compression in the WMV format that is not reapplied when save as to a MOV container is performed. You can see in get info the WMV file say 100MB has maybe 125-150MB of data when it is fully loaded in Quicktime.
    Thus save as does not apply the WMV compression the same as native WMV is all I can assume and the new QT file (MOV container) is bigger than the source file is.
    Exporting to any new QT format (say H264) is going to make a file that is dependent on the new QT bitrate you select but if it is higher than the bitrate shown in the Get Info Inspector box when the original WMV has been opened it will be bigger without a doubt. So if you have a 3Mb/sec WMV file that you export to 700 kb/sec for iPod basic it should be 1/4 of the size. Use 5Mb/sec fo Apple TV it should be 2/3 larger.
    I rarely use QT Pro to export and when I do I don't use default settings. I prefer MPEG Streamclip which offers easier control of variables, batch file processing, deinterlacing and other things and it is free.

  • Help with converting a PDF file to excel

    I tried to convert my PDF credit card statement to excel but it says the file is password protected.  I did not set it up as a password protected file; it came from my on-line banking site.  Can anyone help?

    You must be using the subscription service with Adobe Reader (ExportPDF)?
    If so, you would need the password for the pdf. The bank may have (automatically) added a password preventing any changes. That would need to be removed first.
