Simple question but can't find an answer anywhere

This must surely be a very easy question for someone to
answer (although I can't find an answer from any tutorial or
forums, despite lots and lots of Google searching).
I want to create a link from one SWF file to another (when
these two files are 'stand alonE', not online). How do I it?
I've managed to use Actionscript to create links to a website
and another scene within the same SWF, so I'm surprised that this
is proving so much more difficult.
The script I have that's not working is:
lesson1_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop("lessons.swf");
(BY THE WAY Before you recommend I put everything online,
this is for coursework and it specifies that the whole thing must
be stand-alone.)
Could the problem be with my Flash Player or the way I'm
vieiwng the SWF? It doesn't work in test mode but neither does it
work when I open the SWF directly from it's location.

I'm not sure what you're doing with the
gotoAndStop("lessons.swf"); command - whether lessons.swf is
a scene or a frame label. If its a scene, then I think you need a
frame number as well. (actually I don't know - I don't use this
function)
But you
might want to take a look at the comments at the bottom of
this page, I think - not sure if its relevant, but it seems like it

  • Oft-asked question but can't find an answer that's worked thus far

    I know this is a question that is oft-asked, from reading through the many posts - so I apologize for asking again! But after a couple of days of going through posts/tutorials/manuals, I'm still having trouble finding a way to fix my issue of getting a two hour movie onto a DVD5. I think my main issue is being overwhelmed by compression settings options and not knowing which to choose.
    Would rather not do a dual-layer disk in iDVD since it's not compatible of older players. I don't need a fancy menu. Anyone have any links to a resource they've found helpful on the topic? I'm all about doing my own legwork, just hasn't turned up anything yet!
    I have:
    Toast
    Compressor
    DVDSP
    FCP
    iDVD
    If there's other info that would be helpful to have from me about my project, let me know.
    Thanks much!

    You can fit 2 hours of video in your DVD. You msut use any of the *DVD 120 min* presets in Compressor but be sure of selecting MPEG2 video and *AC3 (Dolby)* audio. If you uses uncompressed audio it will not fit.
    Uses those files in DVDSP and author your basic DVD. Learn about * Creating Disc Image in DVDSP * and use Toast to burn your disc image.
    Don't trust DVDSP size meter. Try building your project to check the real final size.
    Hope that helps !

  • Silly question but can not find an answer online ..

    Hi have been watching the photoshop adobe tutorials which are fantastic however I have a frustrating problem which I can not seem to find a fix. Ive taken a screen shot to show what I mean ...
    When viewing the video ,  I hit the expand screen button it jumps to full screen and unfortunately the play/pause/stop bar hides some of the tutorial video. The bar does disappear sometimes but if I pause the video or move the mouse it appears again obscuring the information .
    I can not resize the video by dragging like one normally would  I have looked at safari preferences its an iMac and also tried the command  minus but this does not work either so the current options are either a very small screen which is hard to read or a full screen with bottom part obscured .
    Apologies in advance if there is a obvious answer which I suspect there is but Ive spent ages trying to find the solution .
    Thanks in advance

    Maximize your browser window and use theater mode (third icon from right)  to make the clip as wide, without actually making it fullscreen. There's also some shortcut keys explained in the YouTube help, but they are not available for every player type (being that some require Flash and don't work with the HTML5 players). Do some digging via Google and you're sure to find it. You can also try to copy&paste the video URL and then append the various player options to view it without a control bar. that's also explained in the YT help.

  • Obvious Question but can't find the Answer

    Folks,
    There have been an number of references in these forums and elsewhere to using workflows to achieve various desired results from ActiveSync. However active sync. configurations only provide hooks for a pre and post workflows. So for a per account workflow hook I need to call this workflow from the Active Sync Form.
    How does one call/invoke a workflow from a standard form.

    Jerry
    I may be just an idiot but I can't for the life of me get either of the approches mentioned in this thread to go.
    As per your approach I've created a form
    <Form name='AD-Active-Sync-processOption-Form'>
    <Display class='EditForm'/>
    <Field name='sourceOptions.Process'>
    <Expansion>
    <s>AD-ActiveSync-Workflow</s>
    </Expansion>
    <Disable>
    <neq>
    <ref>feedOp</ref>
    <s>create</s>
    </neq>
    </Disable>
    </Field>
    </Form>
    And I see no indication that it's triggering off to the associated workflow.
    Thoughts?

  • Re: add-ons. Just a simple question I couldn't find an answer to. Is the term "uninstall" equivalent to "remove the software from the computer"?

    I downloaded a You Tube downloader, and expected an icon to come up when You Tube was playing, according to a friend's advice.
    Since this didn't happen I assumed the download didn't work, or was an old version that doesn't work anymore. I wanted to just get rid of it and try another downloader.
    I went to Tools--> Add-ons--> and clicked on the downloaded software and saw the 2 options [Disable] and [Uninstall]. The terminology is unclear, as I've always thought once software resides on your computer you can install it or uninstall it without erasing it from the computer.
    A simple question that seems obvious except to someone who wants to be very precise and sure. Basically "does [Uninstall] mean erase from the computer"?
    Thanks

    With Firefox extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) you have two possibilities. You can disable an extension if you do not want to use it now, but want to keep it. Or you can uninstall an extension and remove it from the computer. Note that uninstalling an extension still leaves prefs in about:config (prefs.js) and possibly files in the profile folder that will be reused in case you decide to reinstall an extension at a later time.

  • Custom report layout question...can't find any answers anywhere

    I am trying to build a report in Portal, using the custom report layout. The report displays like so, before I do any customization:
    COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    where COLUMN1 is the same value, always per report; COLUMN2 and COLUMN3 vary.
    What I want is:
    COLUMN1
    COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    In the report layout editor, Body section, this is what I see:
    <TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TD>
    <TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
    <TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
    so #COLUMN1.FIELD# must be some kind of array, but I am not finding any documentation anywhere on how to reference the individual values. All I need is the very first value of the COLUMN1 variable. Once I have that value, I can put it where I need it, but I can't get at that value, just the array.
    I have searched portal center, the app server documentation, html documentation. I have googled everything I could think of, but came up with nothing. I found a similar question on this forum, but no one responded with an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Helen,
    The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
    however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
    anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
    use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
    SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
    FROM my_source_table
    WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
    UNION
    SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
    FROM my_source_table
    WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
    ---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:
    <!--- header --->
    <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">
    <!--- body --->
    <tr align="center">
    <td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
    <tr align="center">
    <TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </td>
    <TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
    <TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
    <TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
    <TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
    </tr>
    <!--- footer --->
    <TR><TD></TD></TR>
    this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
    with kind regards,
    naqvi

    Your biggest problem will be finding a retail copy of the Leopard install DVD. Finding a Family Pack will be even harder.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:

  • Just installed, but can't find the application anywhere?

    I just spent 3 hours installing Logic Pro on my new 3.06ghz iMac, and I can't find the program at all. It confirmed that I finished installation and that it was ready to be used, and I can locate the loops (aswell as The Numbers Game, which is on my desktop) but Logic Pro is NOWHERE to be seen. Any clue how I can find it? I followed every instruction in the manual. Someone told me to just open a logic file, then logic would open, but that's not working. Please help me.

    Open your harddisk, open the Applications folder, hit command-2, click the Name column and use the alphabet to find *Logic Pro* .

  • TS2972 apple tv can't sign in to iTunes Store until the network time has been set. this is an Apple generated message. what does it mean? how can i fix it? very very very simple questions but there is no reasonable answer from Apple anywhere on the intern

    this is an apple generated message. simple!
    what does it mean? so far no one at apple has a clue.
    how do i fix it? nothing even begins to address this issue so far. generalities about system setup show a lack of respect for customers. yes my system is plugged in and i have reset and rebooted and rechecked everything. i need help because this a real problem that needs a real solution, not more platitudes.
    help please, not more wasting of my time. i have spent an entire afternoon on this already.

    this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
    this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
    i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
    remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
    i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
    should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
    at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
    thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..
