A question based on classroom in a book cs5????

So i am new to flash and wanted to learn so i went and bought the classroom in a book for flash cs5 to self teach my self and well in chapter 6 it has you create a navagation menu. This menu has four boxes you can hover over and click ( i completed the whole lesson so its ready to go) and well when you go to test (command + enter) the flash movie plays but it plays on a custom loop over and over. I went to the top and went under control and deselected loop and it still does it and or it stops but then nothing is clickable.. what gives?? the lesson had me design the menu so you are able to hover over and have a box appear and then when you click it makes a sound and then after you click a new window pops up with info about that particular button and well when you test it it loops through at the blink of an eye and none of the buttons work and it just plays like a movie. I can email the file to get some answers but i just need some help so please if you have read this book or have the book you may know what i am talking about.
Thanks

Hi, I am also experiencing the same issue. The code that's inserted in frame 1 (actions) appears as follows:
stop();
gabelloffel_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant1);
function restaurant1(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label1");
garygari_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant2);
function restaurant2(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label2");
ilpiatto_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant3);
function restaurant3(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label3");
pierreplatters_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant4);
function restaurant4(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label4");
/* Click to Go to Frame and Stop
Clicking on the specified symbol instance moves the playhead to the specified frame in the timeline and stops the movie.
Can be used on the main timeline or on movie clip timelines.
Instructions:
1. Replace the number 5 in the code below with the frame number you would like the playhead to move to when the symbol instance is clicked.
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(1);
When you test the movie, the following errors appear:
Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 4 1046: Type was not found or was not  a compile-time constant: MouseEvent.

  • Classroom in a book CS5

    Step 11 on page 114 states to "Then make sure Invert is selected..." I don't see any invert for me to select in the opened Layer Style dialog

    My former account (AirForce2117) would not allow me to reply so I had to create a new account.
    I bought the book, but there's no place to get corrections or post errors. The book (on page 114) states "The make sure Invert is selected...." When I go to the Select menu there is no "Invert". THere's is ,however, a "Inverse", but it is grayed out.
    Here's the text that's in the book on page 114.
    Select the Flower layer and choose layer > layer style > drop shadow. Then change the following settings in the structure. Capacity: 60%, distance: 13 pixels, spread: 9%. Make sure use global light is selected and that the blend mode is multiplied. Do not click okay.
    With the layer style.dialog box still open, select satin on the left. Then make sure Insert is selected, and apply the following settings:
    The book then shows a different layer style dialog than the one shown above.

  • Question about classroom in a book lesson 11 PS cs4

    Hi, In lesson 11 of classroom in a book (Photoshop cs4) is a very little explanation about making a web site in Photoshop (looks like they where in a hurry to finish the book at the end). Did try to make my own web site but the problem I encounter is that when I make different pages from one design and save them in SAVE FOR WEB & DESIGN like home, contact etc. One page is overwriting the last page and the page get corrupted and the web site doesn't work when you click on the different buttons. Is there anybody who knows how to do this? Because the book is not helping here much and the help section as well. Making one page is no problem! I understand the slicing etc. The only problem I have is making a home page with 5 buttons
    and 5 pages. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

    Thanks! Yes I can work with DreamWeaver write and read CSS and XHTML, but that doesn't help me in understanding this lesson of Classroom in a book, because the lesson is delivered with the rest of the web pages already made and there is only one small example of using "SAVE FOR WEB AND DEVICES". When I try to make more then one page PhotoShop is overwriting the last saved file. So my question is: " can you only save one page"? Or what is the idea?!. When I import the index page in DreamWeaver the code looks like a mess your right about that for sure. And the slices are still all there. In Classroom in a book is no explanation about using it with DreamWeaver in this context and it's the worst lesson of the whole book.
    Yes thanks about using sub folders I found that out yesterday by trying, isn't it strange that there is no mode to save individual pages???
    Greetings!!!!!

  • Photoshop CS6 - question about 'Classroom In A Book' Lesson 4

    I am teaching myself Photoshop CS6 using Adobe's "Classroom in a Book." In Lesson 4, I am supposed to be able to open the Satin Layer Style from within the Drop Shadow Style Layer. It does not work!!! When I click the Satin check box, nothing happens.
    Is the book wrong or am I doing something wrong?

    I will start with Item 10.
    10. ”Select the Flower layer and choose Layer>Layer style>Drop Shadow. Then change the following settings in the Structure area:
         Opacity: 60%
         Distance: 13px
         Spread: 9%
    Make sure Use Global Light is selected and the Blend Mode is Multiply. Do not click OK.”
    (My note: there is a picture of how the Drop Shadow Layer Style screen should look.)
    11. "With the Layer Style dialogue box still open, select Satin on the left. Then make sure Invert is selected, and apply the following settings:
         Color (next to Blend Mode): Fuchsia (choose a color that compliments the flower color.
         Opacity: 20%
         Distance: 22px”
    (My note: There is picture of the Satin Layer Style Screen should look.)
    12 “Click OK to apply both layer styles."
    (My note: When I click Satin in step 11, nothing happens. In fact clicking on any box in the left column of the Drop Shadow Style Layer does nothing!)

  • Flash CS3 Classroom In A Book Page 75 question

    I'm very new to Flash. I've just completed lesson 2 in
    Classroom In A Book and come to the last page (pg. 75) where it
    concludes with a neat tip: "To use this animation in other
    projects, you can copy all keyframes from the main Timeline and
    paste them into a new movie clip symbol, which you can then place
    wherever you want to use it."
    Neat tip, but I'm such a beginner, I need the step by step
    method of how to do what it says. First of all, there are lots of
    keyframes in this lesson. Do I shift-select each one of them and
    then Edit>Copy to the clipboard and then paste the clipboard
    contents into the library somehow? This statement flies right over
    the head as the book has not covered copying keyframes or anything
    like this so far.
    Help from more experienced users is my only hope now.
    TIA,
    Ken

    "To use this animation in other projects, you can copy all
    keyframes from the main Timeline and paste them into a new movie
    clip symbol, which you can then place wherever you want to use it.
    "To use this animation in other projects, you can copy all
    keyframes..."
    To select the frames you want, left-click on the first frame
    you want (and by frame, i mean first key frame...it'll be easier
    for you this way) then hold down shift and left-click the last
    frame you want (and by frame, i mean either frame or key frame).
    you can tell these frames have been selected because they're
    highlighted black. Next right click on the last frame you selected
    and select Copy Frames.
    "...from the main Timeline..."
    By main timeline, they mean the timeline you're currently
    working on. There's no secondary timelines really unless you're
    trying to edit something...but that's another lesson.
    "...and paste them into a new movie clip symbol,..."
    Alright, after you've copied the frames, go to Insert (it's
    in your menu bar), and select New Symbol. Name the symbol and
    select Movie Clip. After doing this, it'll take you to the timeline
    for the movie clip you've just created. (i guess this could be
    considered a secondary timeline since you're editing this new movie
    clip by pasting the frames there).
    " ...which you can then place wherever you want to use it."
    Right-click on the blank keyframe in the timeline, select
    Paste Frames. And there you go =)
    Also, as a sidenote, if you want your whole animation to be
    copied (everything in your main timeline), right click on any frame
    (frame or keyframe in the main timeline), select Select All Frames.
    They'll all be selected, then just follow the steps starting with
    the right-click -> Copy Frames.
    Hope this helps =)

  • How do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book

    how do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book?

    Do you have a copy of Illustrator installed?
    Then just begin at page 1, read it and practice what you read. Step by step.
    If you don't understand parts of it, dive into the manual as well or ask a question in this forum. But mind that not everybody has a copy of the Classroom in a book. So you need to ask your questions precisely and post screenshots of your artwork.

  • I am working with ADOBE  "Classroom in a Book," with a supplied DVD. I have downloaded all the lessons, and in Lesson 5 I am able to find only (05A) but not 05B, 05C, 05D, and 05E.  My disc seems not to have those...only 05A. I need your help?.

    QUESTION: I am working with ADOBE 'Classroom in a Book" with the supplied DVD.  I have copied all t he Lessons to my hard drive, and have completed Lessons 1-4. However, in LESSON 5, my disc shows me ONLY one of t he 5 examples shown in the book.  I see ONLY "05a," BUT not the following which are in the book: 05B, 05C, 05D, and 05E.  I need help to work with lesson #5.

    See who published the book and contact that web site. There should be a place to download files pertaining to the book.

  • Can you use Adobe Illustrator CS4 Classroom in a book tutorials(on CD rom) without buying the software?

    I recently purchased Adobe Illustrator Classroom In a book CS4, and am having trouble getting to the lessons through the CD-rom which came with the book. My question is do I need to purchase the Illustrator CS4 product to use the tutorials/lessons? I would REALLY appreciate some help, it's needed for a college credit for a design major. Thank you!!

    There's the trial version that you can download from adoble.com.  I think it's good for 30 days.  Other than that, doesn't your school have a computer lab?
    There's no way to open the files and work with them other than in a copy of Illustrator.  You might be able to open them in inkscape (free) or Freehand (no longer available) but then what are you learning?  Not Illustrator...
    [edit]  You should be able to get most of the lessons done in an older version of Illy though, which might be more affordable (if you can find them for sale)

  • Adobe CS6 Premium Classroom in a book

    Hi,
    Has anyone read the new Classroom in a book, um...book yet?
    I wondered how much new information there would be vs the overlap between it and the CS5 version that I already have.
    Thats it...a short and (hopefully) easy question for a monday morning!
    Pierre

    Hi All,
    Ok, So I completed the CS6 Production Premium Classroom in a book, and found it quite helpfull. From a beginners point of view, it was a great introduction to the possible workflow using all the Production Premium suite applications together. It was not a book on any particular part of the suite - although it did give some input on each.
    Basically, it takes a real life situation of a band promo, supplies a lot of footage and souns clips, then walks you step by step thorugh managing media, managing dynamic link, workinf between applications from importing the first clip, to burning a DVD with menu functions and all.
    Really a good read for those out there that dont know how the apps work together, and maybe want to shave some time off their current workflow - by maybe not rendering intermediate renders, but instead using the dynamic link functions.
    Ok, so thats my sales pitch - I am now onto After Effects CS6 Visual Effects and COmpositing Studio Techniques by Mark Christiansen.
    Now THIS is an interresting book!
    I must admit, I have been looking forward to a book that does not give step by step tutorials, but rather explains the workings behind the program - so that the reader can actually interpret it themselves, and start using the effects etc in ways not "guidlined" by someone else.
    As Rick has mentioned, blindly following tutorials wont help you learn the program and what it can do.
    Having said this, I must shamedly admit that by chapter 2 I am already becoming a little unstuck!
    I will keep at it though, and re read most of the book at least once or twice more, but some of the advice given is a little meyond me. For instance, the book has a chapter on the graph editor. Very good, but it assumes you understand the graph interface quite well already. I have not personally used it yet, having not done too manu serious animations, but know that it will be an invaluable tool in the near future - so, Ill take the chapter apart and try, try, try again!
    When I have completed the book, I will provide some more feedback for those that are interrested.
    (It is Christmas however, and our offices WILL stay open, just not as productive - so forgive me if it takes a week or two to get through the book - there are several factrors working against me at the moment - 1) 89.6 degree temp outside - so hotter in the little office and even worse under the red-heads, 2) a quiet building that we share with other businesses - dark corridors now - makes me tired all the time! 3) The CEO brought in his copy of Starcraft 2 and talked me into buying one as well - never played it before, so I need to learn quickly as we will be having a few rounds next week)
    So, as you can all see, I am *terribly* busy at the moment, but I will give the feedabck as soon as I can!
    Merry Christmas to all - and heres looking to a wonderful New Year for all of us!
    Pierre

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Classroom in a Book Lesson 10

    I am unable to use three video clips in Lesson 10.  A message with an exclamation mark pops up with "Video layer footage is unavailable'.  I am able to work with all still images but these three video images are impossible to open and work on.  Pages 272, 273, 276, 277 and several others refer.  No problem with anything else in Lesson 10 - just the video layers.   PLEASE could you advise me how I can overcome these problems.
    Thank you

    Hi, and welcome to the forum.
    While this forum is a good place for people learning the basics of Photoshop, it's not a support forum for the Classroom in a Book.
    You might want to ask your question of Adobe Press, which publishes the book. You can find Adobe Press staffers on Twitter (https://twitter.com/adobepress).

  • CD-Rom for Audition 2.0 Classroom in a book

    Hi folks - Just gettng to grips with Audition 3.0 so I bought a Classroom in a Book for Audition 2.0, second hand from the US. (I'm told that versions 2 and 3 are similar enough for the book to be useful). It arrived today. Unfortunately, the CD-Rom is not included so I can't run through the exercises outlined in the text.
    So my question is: Has any kind soul out there got a disc they don't want, or could lend to me (I'm in the UK). Alternatively, are the files available online, somewhere?
    Thanks for your help.

  • .avi on Mac from Classroom in a Book DVD

    I'm new to Premiere Pro and teaching myself. One book I'm using is the Adobe Classroom in a Book Premiere Pro CS5, which has a sticker on it stating that it has "Free CS5.5 bonus content."
    I'm trying to import one of the lesson files that is an AVI file but PP gives me a File Import Failure for this one file (MPEGs imported with no problems) stating "Codec missing or unavailable."
    I opened the file in MPEG Streamclip and exported it using "Apple Photo - JPEG" compression. It imports just fine now.
    My question: Has this happened to anyone else? Is this a one-time fluke or can I expect that other files on the CIB DVD may also require conversion to work on Mac?
    Thanks.

    Todd, thank you for the response. There were a few things going on, mainly about files that were not yet up at the Peachpit website specifically for the CS5.5 version of the book/files. In addition, there were some proofreading issues in the CS5.5 EPUB that is downloadable.
    I received an email from someone at Peachpit who explained what was going on and pointed me to a link for downloading the updated files (4 or 5 GB of them). I've put them on my system, but haven't had a chance to use them yet.
    So, with that background, I'll tell you about my system:
    Mac Pro (MacPro3,1) with 2 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Xeon processors, 10 GB RAM, and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 supporting two 1920 x 1080 LCDs. I'm running OS X 10.6.8 and QuickTime 7.6.6 as well as QuickTime 10.0. Final Cut Studio 7 has been my editor of choice, but with the release of FCP X I decided to purchase the Master Collection CS5.5 and learn PP and AE. (I work at a University and got a discounted price for the MC so I decided to upgrade my Design Collection CS4.)
    My apologies for WTMI (way TMI). Give me some time to get through the newly downloaded stuff from Peachpit. If I'm still having issues I'll post again. Thanks again for your offer to help.

  • Illustrator 10 Classroom in a Book CD-ROM files

    Hi Folks,
      I've had Illustrator 10 for sometime now, the student version, and I recently purchased the Adobe Illustrator 10 Classroom in a Boob at my local Salvation Army without the accompanying CD-ROM.
    I know that Illustrator 10 is old but so is my system (Win. XP Pro) so I would need to purchase a new system plus the new vs. of Illustrator and to be honest i just don't have that right now, so ...
    I'm hoping someone can tell me where I can get my hands on a copy of the Illustrator 10 Classroom in a Book CD so I can start using the book and learn to use Illustrator 10; at least with some basic understanding of the program I can get my foot in the door somewhere, even as an intern.
    Any help would be grately appreciated.
    Thank You

    Hi Monika,
      My apologies for such a late reply, life has a way of showing up in very interesting ways ...
    Thank you for your reply and suggestion, much appreciated.  I didn't find the title "Adobe Illustrator 10, Classroom in a Book" in either AdobePress.com or Peachpit.com, the title is to old and they no longer carry it, which is why I posted the question here in hopes of someone still having a copy of the CD and perhaps be willing to share the exercise files.
    I guess I may have no other recourse but to try ebay and the like, as you suggested.
    Thank You

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Classroom in a Book,HELP!

    Would like to speak to anyone who has used Photoshop Elements 11 Classroom in a Book. My main question
    is, when you are done with the whole lesson book, how do you get rid of all the pictures that the classroom had
    you upload? Also when downloading the CD that came with this program, I lost all the photos I had on my media
    page. Where did they go?

    Adobe is good at making software but not necessarily books. If your products are faulty I suggest you return them and get a refund.
    There are plenty of free on-line tutorials on Adobe TV and YouTube.
