Actionscript Advice in need!

Quite hard to explain but here i go,
I have several movie clips which are aligned over each other.
All of them contain a button to play the 'mc'. I have use the
swapdepths script to make the mc arrange to the front when that
mc's button is rolled over. When the movieclip selected is playing,
it gets to a stop frame where text appears. The problem is the
other mc's and their buttons are visible (intentionally) but are
also active. When the user rolls over them they obviously start
playing over the top of the mc currently on. What I desperately
need is some script or method to make the buttons of the other mc's
inactive when the front clip is playing??
I've racked my brains, and best I've come up with is to place
a hidden button over the mc's button i want inactive. Although this
prevents the user being able to rollover the mc buttons, it obv
makes the cursor change which looks confusing for the user!
Please someone out there must be able to firstly understand
what I banging on about and secondly hopefully a solution.
Cheers

The only way to do what you want is to do it. This basic idea
is something that a lot of folks seem to forget. :)
So if they are buttons (and not movieclips with button
events) you can check the button class in the help files. Pretty
quickly you should come to Button.enabled. this allows you to keep
a button visible, but decide if it is enabled or not.

How much Actionscript do I need to know to create basic Flash projects?

Hello everyone,
I have recently started learning Flash CS3.
This is what I'm trying to do.
1. Create Animated Banners for websites
2. Create Flash Slide shows, Buttons and Image scroller
(Scroll Thumbnails)
3. Flash websites (In the Future)
I am not interested in creating Games, movie animations or
anything other then what I named above.
So my confusion is, how much Actionscript do I need to learn?
How do I start to learn Actionscript?
I have been reading many post regarding similar situations
but I just need to know which direction to take.
The deal is, I am more into learning ASP.NET 3.5, PHP,
Javascript.
But need just a little touch of flash.
I could use these pre-configured Scripts and software that
can create Flash banners and slide shows but I would like to learn
to do these on my own.
Where do I start?
Please be patient with my ignorance.

Actionscript advice needed

right, i know there is a lot of code pasted here but ive cut
out the bits that dont need changing!!
basically im stuck on this now, i have a motion detection
actionscript program running and counting the number of pixels with
movement in them...
the timer now works and only certain movie clips are used at
certain times, however i want to reset the 'count' variable so that
it starts counting from 0 again when a new minute is started...
How can I reset the counter for each time period? or how
could I put in a new variable for each time period?
var count = 0;
var my_date: Date = new Date();
function snap() {
// code cut down
var nine = 0;
var total = 0;
// code cut down
if (d>tolerance) {
count = count+1;
nine = count;
ten = count;
total = count;
// code cut down
var my_date: Date = new Date();
if (my_date.getMinutes() == 24) {
if (nine>50) {
mc_nine.gotoAndStop(2);
if (nine>100) {
mc_nine.gotoAndStop(3);
if (nine>150) {
mc_nine.gotoAndStop(4);
if (nine>200) {
mc_nine.gotoAndStop(5);
if (nine>250) {
mc_nine.gotoAndStop(6);
if (my_date.getMinutes() == 25) {
if (ten>50) {
mc_ten.gotoAndStop(2);
if (ten>100) {
mc_ten.gotoAndStop(3);
if (ten>150) {
mc_ten.gotoAndStop(4);
if (ten>200) {
mc_ten.gotoAndStop(5);
if (ten>250) {
mc_ten.gotoAndStop(6);
if (count>0) {
total = count;
trace(total);
updateAfterEvent();
before = now.clone();
}

I'm not sure how well it would work, but how about a simple
if statement.
if(count>59){
count=0;
}

Advice / Help needed on how to tackle this mountain...

First, I've scoured the forums looking for an answer and some clarity, but have come up empty. Any advice or help you can offer will be greatly appreciated...
So I'm trying to tackle the feat of sorting though thousands of MP3s in several different fodlers, and getting them all stored in one folder, with just the ones I want to keep (estimated to be about 3,000 when all said and done). Having iTunes just automatically copy them as I drag and drop is perfect, but I don't want the program to automatically sort them in hundreds of different folders. Is there a way to not completely turn this folder off, but have it just copy into the root folder?
Assuming the answer is no, what's the best way for me to approach this? Right now I've turned off the copy feature, have been adding 100 or so songs into a new playlist, editing the tags in iTunes, and copying into my finish root folder. However, I obviously lose my rating when I move the files, and have to update my library by removing all previous files in library, and adding the root folder again.
A way around this is for me to just not assign a rating to any files until I have my final root folder set for import into iTunes library, but this also raises a conceptual problem: I use other programs for uplaoding songs from CDs and DLing, and have them all sent to an "Unsorted MP3s" folder. I would like to be able to go back to this folder, edit the tags and clean them up, then copy them into the root folder and updating my library without having to remove all and reimport the whole folder, losing all my ratings and playcounts.
So I guess there's really 2 questions I have;
First, is there a way to have iTunes just copy the file into a root folder without automatically sorting and creating folders itself?
If no, what's the best way for me to go about updating, importing, and copying songs into a singular root folder? I realize I could just stay on top of it, and only add a few files at a time individually, but that solution isn't very feasible when I'd like to update and add large numbers at a time.
I gotta imagine there's something I'm missing here and it's possible. I did have the idea of merging ALL of my MP3s into my root folder first, then delete and edit from iTunes, eventually ending with a perfect library and all files in one folder. However, I'm still posed with the problem of how to add files at a later date without losing my whole library...
Hopefully I haven't been too confusing, and I'll be sure to offer more clarity if need be. Thanks in advance for all the help!
-Mike

Im not a 100% sure on what your trying to do, i think and correct me if im wrong but you want to copy all your songs that are scattered all over the pc into one folder in the root but not have itunes consolidate the files into folders by name etc.
Im not sure if this is of any help to you but i had songs scattered all over my pc and wanted to put them in a central folder and then share that folder accross multiple user accounts on the one pc (this could be the root if you wish i just chose shared music) if you follow the following link it explained what i did to put all my music in the one place. (I urge caution though as im not 100% certain if this is what you want to do, anyway hope it help)

The future of Flash and Actionscript 3.0, need your advise

Hello friends, currently I'm learning Actionscript 3.0, but have been reading a lot about Adobe disscontinuing Flash in the near future in support of HTML 5. Now, what I want to know is this: should I continue my education in AS3.0, or am I wasting my time?
If I am wasting my time, what language should I learn that will give me the ability to make robust websites? Java???
And is the "Flash" program gonna be completely obsolete? I'm somewhat confused on this subject and want to work effeciently.
Please, need advise from someone who really knows, so that I can continue my education in the right path.
Recommendations to links, books, videos would be greatly appreciated that you might think can help me in this matter.
Thank you friends:)

You should list all of the sources you're indicating you have been reading so that anyone can have a better idea of the potential validity of what you say you are reading.
As far as AS3 goes, you should continue your studies... there is a future despite the fact that AS3 will probably be replaced with AS4 and on as time go by. And if web design is in your future you should follow on with learning all you can relevant to html5/javascript/css so that you have the skills needed for those as well.
Here's s link to something from the folks who know better than anyone that might help you get a flavor of the plans with respect to Flash/AS3+...

Actionscript 2 help needed on rotating movieclip

I need help with the "stopping" of a movieclip rotation. I think this would be easy for you Flash gurus but impossible for me.
Here is the description. The code below shows a movieclip rotating after mouse click but i want it to stop in place after 60 degrees. Basically I need it to rotate 60 degrees after every mouse click and stop. The "trace" function is there so i know something will happen when it rotates a certain degree. Right now it rotates continually after the mouse click.
mc.onRelease=function(){
     mc.onEnterFrame=function(){
          mc._rotation=mc._rotation+=10;
          if(mc._rotation==60){
          trace("HIT");
As a bonus i would like the rotation of every 60 degrees to ease in and out. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

When the _rotation value reaches the 60 degree mark, you need to delete the onEnterFrame delete mc.onEnterFrame;.
There is only one position where the _rotation value will == 60, so if the intention is to stop it at every 60 degrees, then you'll need to change the conditional to be...
if(mc._rotation%60==0){
So....
mc.onRelease = function(){
     mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
          mc._rotation = mc._rotation+=10;
          if(mc._rotation%60==0){
             trace(mc._rotation);
             delete mc.onEnterFrame;
If you want to have easing, I suggest looking into using Actionscript tweening. With steps of 10 there's little room to ease.

Advice/Help needed migrating/working with two macs

I currently own a mid-2010 (I think) Macbook Pro and a couple of months ago I bought a Mac Mini. Unfortunately when I set up the Mac Mini I was short on time and my excitement/lack of patience got the better of me so I copied everything on the HDD from my MBP over to the Mac Mini and I have been using the same profile to login on both machines.
This causes a few problems, particularly when I'm trying to connect the two machines via a network to share files. They can never connect, I'm thinking probably because they're using the same profile and get confused. I also haven't taken the time to properly install all the applications and so some do not work on the mini.
Rather than trying to pull my hair out trying to solve the issues, I think I've reached a point where I think I need to either start over or get some advice on what to do.
Ideally I'd like to use the Mini mainly for music apps (Garageband, possibly Logic Pro X in the future) and occassional internet and iTunes use. Since it has a bigger HDD, I'd like to store my music on the Mini.
I would then use the MBP as my general internet and iTunes machine. I would however like to be able to use it for music production stuff (again GB and/or Logic) if I am travelling. I know that I will need to upgrade the OS and the RAM which I am happy to do.
I would like to be able to have most of the same apps on both machines and also be able to easily transfer files, music etc. between the two.
So in light of what I'd like to achieve, what would be my best course of action? Would I be best to start over and try to migrate from fresh or can I make something work with what I have?
A further complication is that I have since used both machines so I will have some new stuff saved on both machines that won't be on the other. Is there any way to keep these new files if I start over?
Would anyone be gracious enough to point me in the direction of an easy to follow guide to help me achieve what I want?
Sorry for the long-winded post (and if I've posted in the wrong section) but I really think I lept into the migration without really knowing what I was doing and I could really use some advice to help me work out what to do!

With your project open, press Shift + Q to open System Settings.
Where are your render files being stored to? The path should be pointing to your external. I'm betting that it's set to your system drive instead.

Advice desperately needed from Surcode/dolby 5.1 users

Hi all,
I am on the verge of paying the big price ticket to get Surcode unlocked within premiere, but I can't successfully get a file to output with high enough volume.
Here are my settings.
I have tried with dialogue normalisation set to -1, -5, -27 and it makes no difference. I have also set dynamic range compression to off and set all of the mix levels to as close to 0dB as they will go (they're -3dB by default and the same in the above pic)and tried 3dB surround attenuation but all of these things make no difference.
When I drag the AC3 file back into premiere after export, I need to apply 30dB of audio gain to it for it to playback at the same sort of volume I want (and the volume I saw/heard before exporting from premiere).
I have emailed Surcode after hearing good things about their customer service but as yet they have just pointed me towards some generic dolby pdf's which I've read but can't find the problem.
I'm desperate for help as I have an entire project waiting to be exported once I cure this issue!

i didn't realise that was a tutorial to get around using Surcode. To be honest I like the look of surcode and the simplicity of it and I think it's worth the money if it only did it's job.
My problem has now directed me to the mixer page of the premiere window as I think this might be part of the cause.
in this picture each channel has the center dial turned up to full. It was my understanding that this would result in every track coming out 100% in the center channel and not anywhere else. I.e - by putting left rear channel's center dial up to 100% that would result in all of the sound going to the center channel and none into the left rear. Is this incorrect?
I also think that the LFE channel in that pic looks different to mine because of the steps he takes elsewhere in the workflow, but on mine I have the LFE dial on the front left and right and also the center tracks turned to about 30%, which (as is my understanding anyway) means that of the sound in those channels 30% of it is sent to the sub woofer.
I've looked everywhere for a decent tutorial on how to set up your mixer for a 5.1 project but can not find one.
My files are NOT all mono either and I think this might be an issue. I have a mono vocal track but then a stereo wav for music which I pan to front left and rights (I duplicate the track and push one puck to front left and one to front right, but i've also tried putting it in the center channel and leaving the center dial at 0% as this also seems to send the sound to the front left and right equally.)

URGENT HELP/ADVICE/INSIGHT NEEDED RECOVERING FILES!

Hi, all, I hope someone out there can help me understand what I have done and how to fix it! I have posted this under Tiger, but it is probably a hardware question. I have a G4 Quicksilver which I upgraded with 2 hard drives, master/slave set up. I recently had to reinstall the OS (Panther with upgrade Tiger disc) which went smoothly. I cloned the master drive to the slave drive with CCC but did not want to copy it back identically because I was having some problems with Adobe Updater - I decided to uninstall basic 3rd party software and reinstall fresh. In the process, I forgot that Adobe CS2's application Bridge stores documents in a subfolder in User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge/Collections - so if you uninstall, it apparently eliminates those files. I understand that when you put files in the trash, you can recover if you haven't overwritten files. But what about the Adobe uninstaller? Does it eliminate files in a similar way - just erase? I have also posted to Adobe but have not gotten a response that has helped. Also is there a file recovery software that I can use that is a trial or not very expensive? I need these files for work (reconstruction would be a pain) but have put some money into my computers recently and don't have much of a margin. Thanks! oh JUST TO CLARIFY: The files were on the slave drive and I have not used it except to copy files back to the master.

Thank you - I'll give it a try. I've been making some pretty basic mistakes in backing up, reinstalling recently - I guess too many computers, too many different OS's, etc and being under pressure. I just don't want to make another mistake - so far they have all been correctible. I did not know with Adobe's concern for pirating software if their uninstall app does more than a simple erase - So I guess I would download the app to the master hard drive and recover from there?

Advice/Tips needed for Interactive PDF

I am looking for any suggestions/advice/tips on creating a interactive PDF. I have 1 title page document and this document has 8 links on it. These links will go to 8 new/seperate pdf documents. I'd like to create it so that when you click on a link it goes straight to that document and only gives you the option to go BACK to the title page.
I know I can create this with bookmarks, but with bookmarks you have a loing list on the left sidebar. The tricky part is I can only show one document and a back to title page link.
Any suggestions or tips on how to accomplish this task? I have Acrobat Pro 9.
Thanks

Bookmarks are the way to go on this. You can set the default viewing of the PDF to not include the bookmarks and such (under ctrl-D for the document properties).

ADVICE & GUIDANCE NEEDED.

Hi Gurus,
How can i print an old Payment run without remittance advices going out by email.
The Print Job stays in spool for a limited time and cannot be accessed after that time.
Also when i have printer problems and the advices are not priniting, i have to pick the job up and print again, remittance advices go out again to vendors by email.
Appreciate your advice and guidance on this.
Regards,
Baltha.

Hi,
The email triggering is happening from FIBF transaction code configuration. You must have selected process 00002040 for application and application area FI-FI with your Function Module (Standard is SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040).
You should check the logic incorporate in your Function Module with ABAPer. Unless there is a restriction in the Function Module to stop sending emails if rerun, otherwise I do not think it is possible.
Please recheck the logic incorporate in the Function Module used.
If you remove the entries from FIBF, then it will not trigger any email, any number of times you can take spooled copies. But, you will loose the valid functionality like triggering of email.
Regards,
Ravi

Back-up advice/assistance needed

hi, i have a titanium G4 with all indications of hard drive going bad and want to replace the HD. Meantime, tho i've read about Carbon Copy Cloner i'm still not clear just what the step-by-step should be as far as backing up everything before swapping out old HD for a new one.
As it stands, the Ti-Book is so slow that i hesitate trying to boot from it as the 'master' machine. What's the best way to replace the drive and restore the contents from the HD going bad....I believe what i need to create is a bootable Clone of its HD onto a firewire drive. Meantime, the only way to conveniently access the TI-Book is via Target Mode from a
healthy system. The Ti-Book is just running WAY too slow to boot into it - and the drive is making noise.
Anybody have a suggestion on the best approach to take with this. I'm thinking that if i could do the backup and restore using Target Disk mode from a desktop as the "master" machine that would be the easiest for me to understand but
need instruction on what the procedure would be for if i can do it that way...
Thanks much for any thoughts on this one.
Mike

And once you get the two Macs connected in TDM, I strongly suggest that you forget about cloning the old hard drive. For one reason, if it's already malfunctioning, you may not have enough time to clone it completely before it fails altogether. For another, its directory may have been corrupted already, and if that's the case, a clone of it may be nonfunctional even if it is completed successfully (or appears to be).
Instead of cloning, focus on drag-copying the most important data files from the problem hard drive (the Target) to the desktop Mac's (the Host's) hard drive. Never mind the OS, any applications that can easily be reinstalled from their original source CDs, and data that is already backed up. Concentrate on backing up your highest-priority data files first. Most of those will be in your Home folder inside the Users folder, by default.
