A really annoying problem with a button/movie clip

I am having a problem with a button! its driving me insane
because i managed to do it last week, but that was by chance and
now i can't remember how i did it!
I can get the button (i'm using gelright from the common
libraries panel) and convert it to a movie clip(by pressing F8) and
even attach a behaviour but when i play the movie it doen't work!
when i move the curser over the button it changes into a hand, but
will not act like a button, even though i have set the behaviour to
'on release, go to and play keyframe 2'.
Please help me, for the sake of my laptop goin through the
wall!

ok - you are running yourself around in circles - why did you
delete it to the stage only to add it
again? once you converted it to a movie clip, you had what
you wanted on the stage - but then you
deleted it and dragged another instance of the same symbol
back onto the stage - there's no reason
to do that.

Right - this is expected because yoyu are now inside the
movie clip timeline - not the button timeline.

right headings (top, down,

Right - because by double clicking the button symbol you were
then brought to "edit mode" for the
button symbol.
but there were about 5 layers that showed the different
layers for

Huh? What "5 layers"? What do you mean "original" button -
per your description there has only ever
been 1 button you have been working with.

headings, bt there is no room,
Lost you completely now - what do you mean add the button to
each heading? I have no clue what you mean.

Still losing you here.

the behaviours pannel.

That's because you are applying a behavior for a button to a
movie clip instead.
I think you went wrong when you converted the button to a
movie clip - i have no idea why you did
that or why to think your button needs to be in a movie clip.

I just think you don't understand how timelines, symbols or
buttons work yet in flash.
1. drag a button to the stage.
2. select it and open the Behaviors panel (dont double click
it to edit it).
3. add your actions.
4. test movie.
(no need for a movie clip here.

Really really annoying problem with slooooow Adress Book

I have a really, really annoying problem with Address Book.
Ever since I connected it with the MobileMe service it has this problem, and I just cant get rid of it. I have tried logging out and back into the MobileMe service, resetting the sync history etc., but to no avail.
Each time I open the application it freezes for about 5 to 10 seconts, then that blooming annoying, Windows reminiscent, rotating rainbow circle appears for about a minute at a time. Then it goes away and the application works..........that is until try something demanding like adding a new group or changing a group name, then it starts over. It is making the Address Book almost unusable and very un-Mac-like.
Can someone please help???

Try deleting this plist:
(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
As well, the general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
By all means be sure your 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatibl

Problem with non loading movie clips in CS3

Hi.
I am making an animation ( Trailer for an upcoming handheld
game i am working on ).
And i have encountered a problem when i play back the
animation with Flash player.
There is two movie clips in the animation ( Normal vector
drawing but with effects applied on it ( color adjustment , and
blur ) ) and when i play the published swf back with flash player
the two movie clips are in their normal Vector mode ( without the
filters ) until the middle of the animation when they finally
"load" , the filters finally have an effect on the two vector
drawings.
i use a very high end computer so that couldn't be it.
And when i am going to upload the flash film there's going to
be a loading screen ... i have no clue if it's going to fix this.
But for now this is really odd and looks really awkward.
If this problem persist i will not make the deadline. please
help fast.
Thanks everybody.
-Jimmy Gonzo
EDIT: oh and i also noticed that when the stuff isn't loaded
yet... the animation goes too fast.

It seems to me that you need to put a preloader in the first
frame of your whole .fla. It seems that all your assets are not
being loaded before the .swf playhead moves forward.
A simple preloader could be something like:
frame 1 label this as "preloader"
frame 2 (insert the following commands)
if (this._framesloaded >= this._totalframes) {
this.gotoAndPlay("init");
}else{
this.gotoAndPlay("preloader");
}

Problem with a button

hello everyone, i´m really a newie in flash, and now
i´m traying to learn a couple of things at least just for fun.
The problem it is that I want to build a button with an animation
effect,but I want when the mousse go out the button,this make a
animation too, so what I did was:
create a figure,and convert it to button(f8), them in over
section create a keyframe,and convert it to movie clip,inside I
create the animation with motion tween(this one plays when the
cursor is over the button), so now I can´t find a way to make
the animation for the part when the cursor go out of the button
area.
I´ll be very grateful if someone can help me.bye

You can't really do that with a button. A button only has 3
frames that
you get to see. The Up frame and the Over frame can have a
movieClip
inserted into those frames so that you see some sort of
animation when
the cursor is off the button or over the button.
When the cursor leaves a button, the button immediately shows
the Up
frame. If you have an animation at this frame, it will play.
But this is
the same animation that you see before the button is used, so
it's not
unique the rollOut event.
If you want to create a button that shows more activity than
a button
allows for, you can do that, but you have to create a
movieClip that
acts as a button.
If you do a search through this forum, you'll find a lot of
information
on this subject with a bunch of pointers to examples.

Connecting via Airport express: really annoying problem

I've got a really annoying problem that doesn't make much sense. Have an airport express and my network seems to work OK mostly. My iBook can always connect, never any problem. My eMac however is behaving bizzarely. The longer I'm connected, the worse my connection gets. Until it stops working altogether and I can't access the internet at all. System preferences tells me the Airport card is on, but is not connected to a network. Can still connect to it with the iBook.
Shut down, leave it a good while (a good while too, a short shut down doesn't do it), and it works again.
I can't even think where to start looking, all I can think of is that I have a problem with the Airport card in the eMac (something getting hot in there perhaps). Any ideas?

Thanks,
I'm pretty sure the card is seated properly (it works most of the time after all). I couldn't get it to work when I installed it because it wasn't seated properly, I pushed it in as far as it could possibly go and it has worked since (except after extended periods of use). The Airport express is three feet from the eMac with only a couple of bits of wood between them. The connection does not go down at times which I can link with the use of any particular appliances (When the eMac stops working, the iBook is always fine, even in a similar position). It is the apparently time-dependent aspect that I can't figure out (I only notice it on those, fairly infrequent, occasions when I am online for a few hours at a time). The eMac discussion group is a good tip. Ta.

A really annoying problem!!!

Alright guys, I got an annoying problem with my mac.
The text formatting is on many occasions all wrong like this:
http://users.pandora.be/solid_raven/vb1.jpg
Another thing is, the sound fails me, but not in itunes and stuff but only in flash files, games etc. Really annoying!
I did a complete format before but after a couple of days this came up again.
Anyone know what to do about it?
Ty!

I'm not sure about the text problem (although sometimes it can be to do with the website itself, I think), but the sound problem sounds like something that happened to me a while ago. Go to Applications>Utilities>Audio MIDI Setup and look where it says "Audio Output" - there'll be a box for "Format". Check the Hz number it says; ensure that it says 44100.0 Hz. If you find that it did not say 44100.0 Hz your problem is one of the programs you use. Some programs, e.g. Audacity (that's the one that caused my problem), change that level to one that is too high - this causes the sound problems you described. Once you've found out which program it is you can either avoid using it or change the level back to 44100.0 Hz after every use.

By the way, alcohol based hand sanitisers work too.
Don't overapply it in one go though. You'll have to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
One final tip, after its dried, I'd recommend you to leave your iPhone's home button facing a laptop's vent just to bake it a little drier.

Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008

Dear all,
I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button' on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter' First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
Could any one help me with this?
I appreciate looking forward to your reply
Ketya

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

Problem with sleep button

I have problem with sleep button on my hp pavilion dv6-1354us When i press FN + F5 nothing happend. I reinstalled drivers for hp quick lunch buttons but the same problem.. Any solutions ? Thanks.

The operations of FN functions mainly based on the intrinsic working between the drivers and System BIOS.
If you already upgraded the Quick Lanuch Driver, then you may want to upgrade your System BIOS to the latest one in HP website to see if it can resolve the problem for you.
However, you need to be careful while upgrading your System BIOS.

Problem with Masked Buttons

As it stands i have a button called Start, when this button is hovered over, three more buttons appear at its side (all masked)
I'm having trouble actionscripting the buttons, ive tried putting the AS on the button
on(release){
gotoAndStop(2);
seen as everything so far is done on the first frame on various layers i just need it to go to frame 2. but this doesn't work.
the code that's on the start button is
on(rollOver){
Startmenu.play();
Start menu is the invisible movieclip which has the masks and rollout buttons in.
anyone got any ideas?

start button does overlay the other buttons and it is on the main timeline. as is the movieclip which activated the 3 buttons when the start button is rolled over with the mouse.

Subject: Problem with Masked Buttons
does your start button overlay the other buttons?
is your start button on the main timeline?
is the movieclip with the 3 buttons on your main timeline?
does that movieclip respond to the mouse (and thereby intercept mouse events intended for the buttons it contains)?
