Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler

Here's my code on my main timeline; and it makes each movie
clip (A, B, C, D, E) 'glow' when mousing-over.
Why do I keep getting this error message?
Thanks

I figured out what I did wrong there kglad. You were right -
I had the code attached to a movie clip (the parent of the movie
clip that the correct code is on the timeline of). In other words,
I had code in two different places, so eliminated the code from the
parent movie clip and the error disappeared.
Thanks!

Error: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler

I'm getting this error Scene=Scene1, Layer=Layer 3, frame=1,
Line1
Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
shape.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
i'm using this code:
shape.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
//shape is a movie clip
stop();
this.attachMovie('bcPlayer','bcPlayerInstance',this.getNextHighestDepth());
//bcPlayerInstance._xscale = 75;
//bcPlayerInstance._yscale = 75;
bcPlayerInstance._y = -50;
bcPlayerInstance._x = -5;
//bcPlayerInstance is a movie clip
please help anyone knows what i'm doing wrong

>>Actually swapDepths can take either a moveclip or a
number. That isn't the
>>problem.
So it can! Sorry, just never used it with anything besides a
clip ref, and
even then I really don't use it much as I like to keep track
of things
myself.
Thanks

Using variables: Statement must appear within on handler

I would like to use variables in my flash app. The app is quite simple, has many buttons, and on each of those buttons I have a simple script: on-rollover and on-release. For both actions I use the same value, which I want to put in a variable. The following script results in an error message: Statement must appear within on handler. When I have to declare the variable inside the on-handler, I have to declare it twice, which makes it useless as I have to enter the value twice. How can I get this working?
country = "uk"
on (rollOver)
    gotoAndPlay(country)
on (release)
    getURL("/"+country+"/", "_self");

try:
Select a frame on the timeline where your buttons live and then move the buttons handlers there:
e.g.
myButton1.onPress = onPressFunction
myButton2.onPress = onPressFunction
myButton3.onPress = onPressFunction
etc.etc.
myButton1.onRelease = onReleaseFunction
myButton2.onRelease = onReleaseFunction
myButton3.onRelease = onReleaseFunction
etc.etc.
country = "uk"
function onPressFunction(){
     this.gotoAndPlay(country)
function onReleaseFunction(){
    getURL("/"+country+"/", "_self");
If you use this approach you MUST remove the scripts from buttons themselves.
I hope this helps.

Statement must appear within on Handler

Ok. So there are a lot of things asking about this already,
but I keep getting the "statement must appear within on handler"
error when I try to add a gotoAndPlay event to my button...and
reading other peoples problems and solutions has not helped me at
all. I have attached my code, but what I am really confused about
is what I am supposed to call everything.

so now I have it attached to a frame in a separate layer
(after reading some other threads) and i'm getting an Expected a
field name after '.' operator.

Statment must appear within on hanlder....

when i keep this code on my button in action.. "statment must appear within on handler" erro is generating.....
what should i do for this .,, my code is....
nxt.onRelease = function(){
newthumb();

Do not put that code on your button. Put it in the timeline that contains the button that has an instance name of "nxt" - you can create a layer specifically for actionscript and place it there so that it is easy to find. If you do it correctly a lowercase "a" should appear in the timeline frame where you place it. I deally the newthumb() function should also be in that same timeline frame.
In AS2 you can place code on objects but it is written differently. Doing that is considered bad practice though because it makes code harder to find and can confuse targeting things properly.
The code you show is the timeline version which is better.

"The CREATE USER statement must be the only statement in the batch" in SQL Azure - why? what to do?

I'm getting an error on a line in the middle of a larger sql script, only in SQL Azure.
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'foouser')
CREATE USER [foouser] FOR LOGIN [foouser] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO
Error: "The CREATE USER statement must be the only statement in the batch."
I don't actually understand what 'the only statement in the batch' means.
What is a batch? Is it a SQL file? Is it related to a 'GO' statement or an 'IF' statement? What is the reason for the error? And how do I avoid it?
Thanks,
Tim

>IF...ELSE imposes conditions on the execution of a Transact-SQL statement
I understand the general purpose of an If statement. I could let go of our definition of statement counting disagreeing too except that because of the error I'm stuck.
It's less important for Create User but what I am really puzzled over now is a very similar issue how am I supposed to do a safe version of CREATE LOGIN, when I don't know whether a login has been previously created on the server or whether I
am setting up the database on a clean server?
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.server_principals WHERE name = N'foouser')
CREATE LOGIN [foouser] WITH PASSWORD = 'asdfasdf'
GO
If I try and execute this script, it throws the same error as above.
The first unworkable workaround idea is to omit the if statement
CREATE LOGIN [foouser] WITH PASSWORD = 'asdfasdf'
GO
But if the login already exists on the server (because a similar script was already run), then the script throws an error.
The second unworkable workaround idea is to do
DROP LOGIN [foouser]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [foouser] WITH PASSWORD = 'asdfasdf'
GO
Obviously this throws an error in the second block if the login doesn't already exist on the server.
The third workaround idea I have is to go conditional by putting an IF condition around DROP instead of CREATE:
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me either!
"The DROP LOGIN statement must be the only statement in the batch"
(This is despite the fact that 'drop login' is listed on the
supported commands page, not the partially supported page..?! Which disagrees with the notes on
this page.)
Anyway the real question I am interesting in addressing is: is there actually a way to have a 'Create/Delete login
if exists' operation which is SQL-Azure compatible and doesn't throw me error messages (which messes with the sql execution tool I am using)?
If there is no way, I would like to believe it's because it would be a bad idea to do this. But in that case why is it a bad idea?

Has anyone had an additional black screen tab appear within the apps sync screen when there are no apps on the tab?

Hi all,
The description of the question that I have put as the title is probably as clear as mud! LOL
So i have attached a picture so that you can hopefully see what i am trying to explain!
When I sysnc'd my iphone I suddenly has a "spare" black apps tab appear within iTunes but on the actual phone i only have the top tab appearing!?
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
This is also doing the exact same thing on my work iphone!?

Do you have iTunes installed on your laptop, and if so has the iPad been connected/synced to it ? If you don't have iTunes installed on it then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If the iPad hasn't been connected/synced to iTunes on that laptop then you may also find this page useful for syncing to it for the first time : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
If you are using a PC then you should be able to copy photos off the iPad via the windows camera wizard, if you are using a Mac then iPhoto, Aperture and Image Capture can be used
Copying photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
In terms of copying your documents so that you have a copy of them outside of the iPad backup (just in case the backup gets corrupted and can't be restored back to the iPad), then it depends upon what the apps that the documents are in support - some use the file sharing section on the device's Apps tab on your computer's iTunes, some allow transfer to/from a computer via your wifi network, in some you can email them, use Dropbox etc.
When connected to your computer's iTunes you can also do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy the apps and any music, tv shows etc that you've downloaded from iTunes over to your computer - they are not included in the actual (just the apps content and settings), so for the restore to be able to work they will need to be on your computer's iTunes library so that they can be copied back

Cookies do not get deleted / re-appear within seconds if I delete them manually and yes I've checked every single support page about this and it didn't help

– I have the most recent version of Firefox.
– I have my settings in Preferences -> Privacy on "Keep third party cookies until I close Firefox".
– I've checked "Clear history when Firefox closes" and have ticked every single box under settings (except saved passwords).
– But still, Cookies do not get deleted when I close Firefox – there are hundreds of cookies every time I open it.
– If I go to Tools -> Clear recent history, choose "everything" and tick every single box, history etc. get deleted but the cookies remain.
– If I go to Preferences -> Privacy and click "Show Cookies" and then click "Remove all cookies" twice, the cookies disappear, but they're back just seconds later.
– I've even tried going to Preferences, clicking on Exceptions and manually adding some of the websites that showed up under "show cookies" and blocking them and then deleting the cookies, but still they re-appeared within seconds, and the exceptions were blank again.
– I've checked all your support pages about this topic.
– I've seen this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/740598?esab=a&as=aaq and tried it and it didn't help.
– I've seen this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/936308?esab=a&as=aaq and this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/868910?esab=a&as=aaq, and yes I do use "Do Not Track Plus" and some of the Cookies seem to be Opt-Out-Cookies but most are not.
Please help me. I used to be a big fan of Firefox but this is getting really scary.

You can't remove opt-cookies that are added by an extension unless you disable or uninstall that extension, so you can disable the do not track extension as a test to see if that allows to remove the cookies.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Items must appear only on the last page of a report region

Hello everybody,
I have a report region1, the report can contain many records thus I will have to paginate it....
In the same page, I must have another region2 with some fields on it, but theses fields must appear only on the last page of my report,
I don't succed to find a condition to apply to region2 in order to make it appear only on the last page of the report region1.
Any help on this ???

Assuming you have other content, you could:
set the Print Object On property to be last page.
anchor it to the main content that repeats on every page, so this frame only prints after the other one is done
Assign a format trigger where you make it display only if current page is equal to total number of pages
create a trailer and move the frame there

Making pop-up image always appear within browser window

In my CS3 CSS site I want to have images which are only revealed when the user runs their mouse over a photo icon. I've worked out how to make the AP div, which contains the show-hide image, appear in the same position relative to the left margin of my text container div but can't seem to control where they are vertically. As they are absolutely positioned, I know that they will, in theory, always remain in the place where I have positioned them (although this appears to vary greatly from browser to browser) but this causes problems if, for example, I place them above the icon and the viewer happens to rollover the icon while it is near the top of their browser window - the photo can't be seen. Can I make the image's vertical position relative to the browser window, whatever its size, or make sure it always appears within the browser window?! I've tried setting margin top and bottom to auto but that doesn't seem to work in the same way that it does for margin right and left. An example is on this page http://www.ernestcooktrust.org.uk/Contact_biogs/biogs_trustees.html . At the moment the images are set to appear above the icon of the person they are referring to. Or is there a better way then show/hide AP divs to achieve this? Many thanks in advance for any (not too technical please) help.

Is it because the backup on progress?

Hmmm.. ok.. well you are kind of on your own.. purchasing from another country leads to problems.. especially as the TC itself is regional .. all the setup applies to the region it is sold in.
Make sure you are using ipv6 in the computers..
See
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
The 6.3 utility will not work without it.
Make sure all names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Do a full reset and start over.
But there are no more controls.. you cannot set mode..
You can set wireless channels.. so do .. try different wireless names for the different bands.. and set fixed channels.. whatever your country allows, usually 2.4ghz you can use 1, 6, 11 but 13 maybe an option as well. 5ghz is much less clear and there are more variation. Just set to one channel and then another.
Set WPA2 Personal security with a 10-20 character password .. pure alphanumeric mix of upper and lower case and numbers.

Safari Screen Draw Glitch? - History Coverflow Appears within Web Pages

I've started noticing on a few websites that somewhere within the webpage a portion of History Coverflow will appear within the website I'm visiting...
See pic below
Running Safari 5.0.2 with all OS updates installed.

I'm not getting the CoverFlow interface partially appearing in windows like you are, but on two of my Macs, I've noticed hundreds of +error: unknown error code: invalid drawable+ messages in the console from Safari.
I think it's definitely a problem with CoverFlow, as when I launch Safari without going near the History or TopSites screens, I don't get these messages. As soon as I invoke the History window (CoverFlow view), once I return to browsing, the messages start. It's something to do with Safari capturing and caching screen images.
The way I've avoided this until it's fixed is to change my default homepage to anything other than TopSites, and to use the History menu rather than the CoverFlow view.
I've certainly had a few little glitches in Safari 5.x generally.
