Accessing properties of loaded WindowedApplication from the Main WindowedApplication.
Hi Friends.
I am trying a project and according to my plans I am trying
for some thing but don't know is it possible..
I am compiling multiple air applications and One of them will
be the main application. and another will not be actually *.air but
the compiled swf file.
In my final Air package I am going to package the Main
application withe the other swf file too.
So the main application will load the second swf file on
requirement.
Now my issue is i am able to access properties/functions of
main application from the loaded WindowedApplication but I am not
getting the idea how to access the loaded WindowedApplication
properties/function from the MAIN application..
This i am doing Because I can later Modify only the other
application with out EFFECTING the MAIN.. like software updates..
But getting the issue... Local Connection is Success. but
still I want to establish a direct connection between the two
WindowedApplications so to avoid lots of code what we write for
LocaConnection objects.
Please Give me any idea.
I'm not sure how successful you will be with this in the long
run. The WindowedApplication component is meant to be used as a
singleton.
If your goal is simply to modularize your code, you might be
better off creating components that your main application loads,
rather than trying to create multiple separate AIR applications and
then combining them.

Access a nested symbol timeline from the main stage
Hi all,
Would love some help on accessing a nested symbol from the main stage please.
To set the scene.....
"Its an autumn day..
no sorry...just joking...
So i have a symbol called "NormalAnatomy" - its not on the main stage, but when a button is clicked it appears in the 'content' box which is just a rectangle on the main stage.
Inside "NormalAnatomy" symbol is another symbol called "Scrub_all" which is an animation
For users to view the animation they use a scrub bar like this lovely lady has invented:
Create Click and Touch Draggable Scrubbers with Edge Animate CC | sarahjustine.com
So for Sarah Justines scrubber to work - the main stage has a lot of actions added to it. Also the "timelinePlay" symbol is on the main stage
Its starts:
var symDur = sym.getSymbol("timelinePlay").getDuration();
var mySymbol = sym.getSymbol("timelinePlay");
var scrubber = sym.$("scrubber");
var bar = sym.$("bar");
sym.$("mobileHit").hide();
var dragme = false;
So I put my "NormalAnatomy" symbol on my main stage to see if the code would work and changed all the relevant details.. and indeed it worked!
var symDur = sym.getSymbol("NormalAnatomy").getSymbol("Scrub_all").getDuration();
var mySymbol = sym.getSymbol("NormalAnatomy").getSymbol("Scrub_all");
var scrubber = sym.getSymbol("NormalAnatomy").$("scrubber");
var bar = sym.getSymbol("NormalAnatomy").$("bar");
sym.getSymbol("NormalAnatomy").$("mobileHit").hide();
var dragme = false;
But i don't want the "NormalAnatomy" symbol to be on the main stage as I want it to appear in the 'content' box only when i hit a btn
So as soon as I took this symbol off the main stage, the scrubber doesn't work. So I click a btn, and the symbol appears in the content box but the scrubber doesn't work.
so I tried in front of the "NormalAnatomy"
getStage().
getStage("content").
getComposition().getStage().
getSymbol("content").
but nothing works
The main problem must be the fact that the NormalAnatomy symbol appears inside a content box so the MainStage actions doesn't know how to find it??
So my question is... what should I put in the main stage actions to make it access the "NormalAnatomy" symbol?
Thanks for your help in advance!On click handler for the symbol use
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("nameofsymbol").play();
or
sym.getSymbol("nameofsymbol").play();
replace the italics with the literal name of the symbol as it appears in the Elements panel.
Some API details found here (http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/edgeanimate/api/current/index.html) in the Work With Symbols section.

[python] setting a variable in a loaded module from the main script
Hi,
I have have two python scripts, one generally controlling my desktop wallpaper, the other downloads the APOD picture from the net and sets it as my wallpaper.
At the moment I can get the wallpaper script to load the apod script as a module to use its functionality.
The problem comes when I try to get the module to recognise variables set from the parent script:
I have both scripts using the variable 'verbose' to control how much output is printed, (which can be set from the command line options).
How do I get the 'verbose' variable in the imported module to be the same as the variable set by the script?
I can get it into an imported function using a keyword assignment when called, 'download(verbose=options.verbose)', but this is forgotten when other functions are called.
I have also tried making it a global variable.
I assume it is because I am importing the module and setting the default value before the main script sets its value, but I cant see a way round this.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,

I think I understand why it gives the results it does when run as 'test1.py -v'
I was just wondering if there was an easier way to get the second script to take and remember the variable without having to write variable=value into the function call every single time? However this is the only way I have found so far.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) .

stop();Andrei1,
Thank you for the helpful advice. I made the changes as you suggested but I am receiving a #1009 error message even though my site is working the way I wan it to work. I would still like to fix the errors so that my site runs and error free. This is the error I am receiving:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
I'm sure this is not the best method to unload loaders and I am guessing this is why I am receiving the following error message.
loader.unload();
loader2.unload();
loader3.unload();
I also tried creating a function to unload the loader but received the same error message and my portfolio swf was not showing at all.
function killLoad():void{
try { loader.close(); loader2.close; loader3.close;} catch (e:*) {}
loader.unload(); loader2.unload(); loader3.unload();
I have a question regarding suggestion you made to set Mouse Event to "null". What does this do setting the MouseEvent do exactly? Also, since I've set the MouseEvent to null do I also have to set the loader to null? e.g.
---- Here is my updated code ----
// variable for external loaders
var loader:Loader;
var loader1:Loader;
var loader2:Loader;
var loader3:Loader;
// makes borders resize with browser size
function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
// resizes portfolio page to center
loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - loader.width) * .5;
loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - loader.height) * .5;
// resizes about page to center

Acrobat on OSX does not use printer preset. Every single time I have to print I have to click printer and then print to load the preset and then click print again from the main dialog. I am printing to a Xerox that has the copier code in the preset so if I don't do this it will not print. This has been broken for in every version I have tried. This extra clicks are taking years off my life. Did I remember to do the extra clicks? I don't know, I guess I will run down the hall and check. Please fix this.
What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

iDVD 7.1.2: I am making music instrument instructional DVDs, and I want to include several audio loops that the viewer access from the main menu to play along with
Export the slideshow out of iMovie via the File ➙ Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How can I delete an item from the main left column of iTunes?
I'd like to delete an item from the main left hand column in iTunes (the column containing the main headings LIBRARY, STORE, SHARED, PLAYLISTS etc etc). Under the first heading 'LIBRARY' appear the items Library, Music, Movies, iTunes U, Books, Apps and Ringtones. I'd like to remove the item "Library" from that list - it appears immediately after the heading "LIBRARY" and serves no purpose whatsoever. (Neither does it appear to cause any harm, I must say, just a nuisance.) This item does not appear in any of the iTunes viewing options or controls lists. Neither does it appear in iTunes in the other accounts on my Mac and I have yet to see it any other iTunes on any other Mac.
I've upgraded since about iTunes 8 assuming the problem would eventually disappear through the upgrades but it hasn’t, even through all the providedupgrade increments available for iTunes.
I'm assuming it's from something I've installed in my main user account at some stage and it entered this item in the iTunes app. But I can't see how to remove it. The only things I can remember installing are "iTunes Batch Column Renamer" and "Join Together", both if which are just Scripts and which I use fairly regularly, but I don't recall either of them installing that particular item.
Is there any folder I can navigate to to edit the list of items in that main left hand column of iTunes?
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.on second thought, that you have an item "library" is indeed odd - there shouldn't be.
suggest you try removing iTunes completely (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
note this will not do anything to your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.
btw, you didn't install any 3rd party tools like this script:
Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4
This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
Show "Library" playlist
Changing view setting is global
Allow half-stars in ratings
Hide "Ping" buttons
Show/hide arrow links -- to either search the iTunes Store or search your library
Load complete iTunes Store preview before playing
Create playlists for purchased song collections
Play songs while importing or converting
Create file names with track number
Maintain grid view for Search results
Option-click zoom button for Mini Player&

Manage the mc timeline from the main
Hi guys,
I need to use gotoAndPlay with a timeline situated within a MC. So, how can I identify this timeline from the main one?
P.S. could anyone advise me a good As 3.0 manual?Assign an instance name to the mc via the properties panel. Let's say you name it "mc"... then to command that timeline from the main timeline you would use: mc.gotoAndPlay(?);

Control a mc timeline from the main timeline
Hi there,
On my main timeline, I load a mc from the library with:
text_content.attachMovie("text_content", "text_content", 10);
There is a marker inside this mc called "news". I need a script in the main timeline that will gotoandStop "news" within the "text_content" mc.
I have tried, amongst others unsuccesfully:
text_content.gotoAndStop("news", 10);
_level10.gotoAndStop("news");
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Many thanksHi, thanks for your help. To describe the scenario a bit better...
I have an empty mc on the stage called "text_content_mc".
On the first frame of the main timeline, I load a library mc 'text_content' (identifier name: text_content) into "text_content_mc" using:
text_content_mc.attachMovie("text_content", "text_content", 10);
From the main timeline, I have attempted to navigate to marker "news" within the library mc, now inside "text_content_mc" using:
text_content_mc.text_content.gotoAndStop("news");
It is not working. What I am doing wrong?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks. -
Hide/Change "Help" button from the Main Toolbar
Hi all,
I would like to know if there is any possibility to change the URLs displayed when clicking in "Help" button from the Main Toolbar.
I think that it is not possible so that is the reason I was also asking the the "toolbar ID" in order to hide the button through "Toolbar customization".
Thank you very much in advance!
Regards,
LauraHi Laura,
We can change the URLs displayed when clicking in "Help" button from the Main Toolbar.
In System Properties please mention the URLs to which you want these links to point:
Documentation - system.help.url.buyside
E-Learning - system.link.community_url
Community - system.link.elearning_url
Guides - system.link.guides_url
Also you can customize the display names of these by changing the Localized Resource values for below
common$common.top_links.documentation_link.name
portal$portal.channel.help_center.training
portal$portal.channel.help_center.community
portal$portal.channel.help_center.guides
Hope this helps!!!

Can't find the Slideshow option under Photo from the main menu
I have downloaded pics to my Ipod Nano and successfully viewed them in the past.
Accessing the Photo Option from the Main Menu, the only option I see is for Slideshow Settings. The option for actually playing a Slideshow seems to have disappeared.
Any ideas?Have you tried
Settings >Main Menu
make sure Photo is set to ON -
Problems with executing customized Run-Time menu from a sub-vi imported from the main vi.
I am having trouble executing Run-Time menu from the sub-vi.
Currently my main vi program, which is the first thing that I open up to acquire data from different sources (i.e. dll’s, scanners etc.) opens up a number of sub-vi’s.
I have created several sub-vi’s, which are opened from the main vi’s customized Run-Time menu that I have created (i.e. dsp file). I am using the open panel.vi to open other sub-vi’s. I don’t have any problems opening any number of sub-vi’s through the main vi’s menu.
I would also like to have the option to open other sub-vi’s from any sub-vi’s menu. I succeeded in exporting the Run-Time m
enu from the main vi to the sub-vi using the property node properties however nothing happens (I hear a beeping sound) when I click on the sub-vi’s menu. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I would really appreciate it if someone can attach a sample code using Run-Time menus on sub-vi’s imported from the main vi.
Thanks
NishI don't actually have any VIs like this. It might be easier to take the menu and just add it to the VI during development. Then it will always be there. It might be easier than doing this with Property Nodes.

I cannot download iTunes from the main page. Is there any alternatives?
I have dial up and windows 7 64 bit. I cannot download the latest iTunes from the main pages nor does my dial up go for 24 hours to get 86 megs. Is there any alternatives? Plus I have authorized computers that are long dead. How do I deactivate them?
For downloading, the only alternative would be to use a computer with a better Internet connection to download the iTunes installer and then copy it to your computer via a USB flash drive, external hard drive, etc.
As to your other question, you cannot directly deauthorize a computer that's not working or to which you no longer have access. You can, however, go into your iTunes Store account and there will be a "deauthorize all" button. You can then re-authorize the computers you're using now.
Note that you can only use the "deauthorize all" option once per year, unless something's changed very recently.

I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 7 and since doing this, i cannot get my email messages to stay deleted when I trash them. They have been deleted from the main mail server but show up on my phone. When I trash them, they disappear for a few seconds and then re-appear in the inbox. I tried deleted my mail account from my phone and re-adding it, but this worked for about 12 hours and now its doing it again. I also have shut my phone off and rebooted it but this did not work. How do I fix this?
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question. -
Mac won't take power from the mains
Hi,
I just bought my MacBook two days back. I'm already finding a few things crashing, but my main headache is that its currently refusing to take power from the mains. I take out the power chord and put it back in... nothing. I've tried restarting - no go. I've changed socket, no difference (the sockets are working fine). I noticed that the MagSafe Power Adaptor was pretty hot when I first spotted this problem. Any ideas?
Cheers,
RobinHi robin
All I can offer is to keep doing what you're doing that's kept it going up till now - whatever that is? As soon as you've got time take it back.
I find it slightly strange that you're prepared to risk 'some urgent work' using something that's clearly having a problem? However if it's all you have then I suppose you have no choice? If there's enough 'juice' to let you complete whatever it is you need to do and if you've a memory stick or can burn a CD/DVD then I would look at those options once you've done the work.
You never know?
