Actionscript and HBox padding

How do you set the padding values of an HBox in Actionscript?
Can somebody explain why components have certain properties
when using MXML and different properties when using Actionscript?
This is does not make sense to me.
For example when using an HBox in MXML it has paddingTop,
paddingRight, paddingBottom, paddingRight properties. But if you
create a HBox in Actionscript those propertes are no where to be
found.
Am I missing something here?

These properties are style properties.
You have to use setStyle method :
hbox.setStyle( "paddingTop", 10 ) ;

MBP keyboard and track pad not working

Today the keyboard and track pad on our mac book pro laptop just stopped working. The mouse connected to it by usb continued to work but we can't type or anything. We tried the ^F6 keyboard shortcut but it did nothing since of course the keyboard isnt working. And it is also not the number lock key. The computer was working fine all day up until now. It is just under a year old. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. It appeared yesterday and then magically "repaired" itself. My MBP was fine today. Tonight the problem is back. No response from the keyboard and track pad. Track pad works fine using a USB mouse. My problem appears at start up. The cursor is in the usual upper left hand corner. It can't be moved. Restart, sleep then restart do not solve the problem.
Suggestions?

Yes, ideally you should use the same AppleID for all your devices.

Key board and track pad not working

Ok, My situation is similar to some of the other things posted but not quite.
I tried to wake my computer up from sleep the other day and it wouldn't "wake up" so I did a hard shut down and restart. When it restarted the key board and track pad did not work. The caps lock light wouldn't come on or anything. I tried connecting a usb apple keyboard and mouse and those didn't work either.
When switching to windows in bootcamp, everything works. So... I guess that means it's a software thing.
I called Apple support and we did all the possible key combinations and restarts possible and it came down to this: I need to archive install tiger again, then install all of the updates, then install leopard back on (I don't have leopard disk because it was a family pack and im at college). My roomate's macbook (White, bought in aug 2008) install disks which are 10.5.2 do not work with my computer.
My question is: Is this really the correct solution to my problem? Will archiving and installing tiger then leopard affect my files? I haven't backed up using time machine in a month, so is there a way to backup through osx with my keyboard and trackpad not working or can I do a good back up through my windows partition in bootcamp? Any more tips? Thanks, this has never happened before and I guess I'm a little clueless.

Do you have access to another Mac? If so, possibly you could use Firewire Target Disk Mode to access your drive and do a current Time Machine backup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Since you have a family pack of Leopard at home, possibly you could have someone burn a safety copy of it and send it to you so that you can reinstall Leopard. Once you have the OS installed and brought up to date, you could even restore from Time Machine if you had to.
Since we don't know all the steps you took, it's hard for any of us to say if this is the right solution. Evidently the Apple tech came to the conclusion that your software had become corrupted, and this could well be the case, since everything works on the Windows partition. Hence the suggestion to reinstall the OS.
I think you need to get a copy of the Leopard disc so that you can bring your OS completely up to date. I'm not sure of the logistics of doing an Archive and Install with both Tiger and Leopard, especially if much of your work has been done on Leopard. I'm not even sure if it's necessary to reinstall Tiger--it might be better to just reinstall Leopard using Archive and Install.
It's always a good idea to have a good up to date backup like Time Machine before attempting an Archive and Install, because things can go wrong. If they do, you may end up having to do an erase and install. If that happens, you can restore from your Time Machine backup.
I think what you should do is to get a copy of your Leopard disc, and then boot from it and try to do the Archive and Install. Navigate to Disk Utility first and verify both permissions and the disk and repair if necessary. Then proceed with the Archive and Install. Once you're done, run all the updates. Then go to Disk Utility and repair permissions.
Good luck!

Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

Keyboard and Touch-Pad Not Working After Having to Install New Hard Drive

I had to install a new hard drive in my HP Pavillion DV9700t that has Vista Home Premium 64-bit. After going through the recovery process with backup disk the built in keyboard and touch-pad do not work. During the installation, an error message came up saying something along the lines of "the drivers are not supported by this verison of windows because they are unsigned." The drivers that had that error were "hpqkbfiltr keyboard filter driver," "HP remote control HID Device," and "hpqkdfilter driver." I tried to update the drivers for the keyboard from the hp website, but the keyboard and touch-pad still do not work.
My question is, where do I find the digitally signed drivers for the keyboard and touch-pad that Vista won't flag and disable?
Help please!

Sparkles,
Thanks for the suggestions.
When dealing with MS Fix It, I was choosing run. Upon further investigation on that site, there really isn't a scan that applies to my issue anyways I tried the .NET Framework repair tool, and that seemed to work. It told me to try re-running what I was having issues with, so I tried running the Windows PowerShell again, but again was faced with the following message "windows update standalone installer encountered an error: 0xc8000247." I went back to the .NET screen and hit "Next" because it didn't work, and that responded by saying they were going to submit logs to Microsoft. I won't hold my breath on that one.
I'm to the point where I honestly don't care anymore. I have no idea what to do, because doing a clean install with the discs HP sent me isn't going to help because they are just recovery discs, and not an actual Windows disk. This is the second hard drive I have had to put into my laptop and use those recovery disks on in the last 3-years. The built-in keyboard hasn't worked during that time frame on either hard drive. I don't think the recovery disks I was sent install properly. Not sure where to go from here. I spent way too much money on this laptop years ago having it custom built to handle all of my drafting programs, so I don't want to just kick it to the curb. I was looking into the possibility of just replacing it, but I cannot stand the Windows 8 interface.
I guess I should have fixed the issue with the keyboard on this hard drive before loading all of my programs. Between the recovery disk install, formatting of the hard drive, and installing all of my programs it took well over 12 hours. Not really looking forward ot that again Then there's shockwave and flash and all of the other goodies that my recovery disks won't restore anyways.
Sorry if this seems like a negative post, but I'm just tired of trying to no avail. Maybe I should just take it somewhere to get it looked at, but I can't see them being successful if the recovery disks won't help anyways.
Thanks for you help,
MadBuch

Every day, my keyboard and track pad don't work, so I have to shut my computer off and start it back up. It does this multiple times a day. What can I do to make it stop doing this?

I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

The power button for the Trackpad is on the right hand end of the battery case. Press that button to initiate the pairing process. On the top of the Trackpad just above the power button is a tiny green light (you probably cannot see it unless it is lighted). That light will indicate ehther or not the Trackpad is discoverable. If the Trackpad has discoverable the green light will blink on and off. If it does not pair within 3 minutes you will have to press the power button again to re-initiate the pairing process. Once your Trackpad has paired, you can just leave it on and it will pair automatically when you reboot your Mac.
If you are having problems pairing, try turning off any other Bluetooth devices within 30 or so feet of your Mac mini. That includes other Computers, iPhones, iPads, etc. that may be in the area. Once your Trackpad has pairedwith your mini, you don't have to be concerned about other Bluetooth devices.
One other hint, I find that although the Wireless Trackpad does not eat batteries as fast as the Magic Mouse it still uses more than the Wireless Keyboard. It is a good idea to keep a supply of AA batteries around. I have used Apple's Rechargable batteries, but found they did not last that long before needing to be recharged. I have had the best battery life from Duracell Quantum batteries.

Explicity mapping between ActionScript and Java objects for the BlazeDS Messaging Service

The BlazeDS documentation shows how to explicitly map between ActionScript and Java objects. For example, this works fine for RPC services, e.g.
import flash.utils.IExternalizable;
import flash.utils.IDataInput;
import flash.utils.IDataOutput;
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias="javaclass.User")]
public class User implements IExternalizable {
        public var id : String;
        public var secret : String;
        public function User() {
        public function readExternal(input : IDataInput) : void {
                id = input.readObject() as String;
        public function writeExternal(output : IDataOutput) : void {
                output.writeObject(id);
and
import java.io.Externalizable;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInput;
import java.io.ObjectOutput;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Set;
public class User implements Externalizable {
    protected String id;
    protected String secret;
    public String getId() {
        return id;
    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    public String getSecret() {
        return secret;
    public void setSecret(String secret) {
        this.secret = secret;
    public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException,
                ClassNotFoundException {
        id = (String) in.readObject();
    public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException {
        out.writeObject(id);
If I called an RPC service that returns a User, the secret is not sent over the wire. Is it also possible to do this for the messaging service? That is, if I create a custom messaging adapter and use the function below, can I also prevent secret from being sent?
MessageBroker messageBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null);
AsyncMessage message = new AsyncMessage();
message.setDestination("MyMessagingService");
message.setClientId(UUIDUtils.createUUID());
message.setMessageId(UUIDUtils.createUUID());
User user = new User();
user.setId("id");
user.setSecret("secret");
message.setBody(user);
messageBroker.routeMessageToService(message, null);

Hi Martin. The way that AMF serialization/deserialization works for BlazeDS is the same regardless of which service is being used, so yes that code will work for messaging as well. On the server, the serialization/deserialization of messages happens at the endpoint. For an incoming message for example, the endpoint deserializes the message and then hands it off to the MessageBroker which decides which service/destination to deliver the message to.
That was a good question. Thanks for asking it. Lots of people are used to doing custom serialization/deserialization with the RPC services (RemoteObject/RemotingService) but I'm not sure everyone realizes they can do this for messaging as well.

THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard.
What is wrong with this maverick OS?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

0 margins and 0 padding still not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer

Hi I have designed a page for my site that works perfectly in safari and firefox but of course in internet explorer it doesn't. The content under the slideshow is meant to line up with the edge of the slideshow. This is the linkhttp://www.kimberleywebdesign.com.au/Links.html.
The divs and the tags within them, have 0 margins and 0 padding with the exception of top and bottom padding, so even if internet explorer doubled my margins - double nothing is nothinng ?? I am trying to understand why the problem occurred?

My understanding is that IE misinterprets text-align:center in the #wrapper div.
Change:
#wrapper {
width:48.75em;/*780px*/
margin: 0 auto;
text-align:left;}
to
#wrapper {
width:48.75em;/*780px*/
margin: 0 auto;
text-align:center;}
Then add text-align: left to each div where the text needs to be left aligned
e.g.
#portfolio {
margin:0 auto;
padding:2em 0 0 0;
width:680px;
text-align:left}
and so on. Worked OK for me in IE8.
See: http://www.andybudd.com/archives/2004/02/css_crib_sheet_3_centering_a_div/
Add this tip, taken from the link above, for good measure:
"This gets IE up to scratch. However this is the step I always forget. In Mozilla, if you reduce the size of the browser window, half of your centred div hangs off the left of the page. This is an odd one, but I've been reliably informed that it's the correct behaviour. To prevent this, just set a min-width on the body tag."

How do delete cookies with ios7 on I-phone and I-pad ?

How do you delete cookies with ios7 on I-phone and I-pad ?

Cheers for that but what I really meant was when you double click your home button you used to be able to keep your finger on one of the apps for 2 seconds and they all would have a cross on them and you could delete them now you can't ? , not delete the app completely just close the app properly to save your battery

Entries on my I phone 4 in Calender are not pushed to I cloud so does not sync with my Mac and I pad. Reverse (from Mac to I pad and i phone works fine who can help me??

Use Mac. I phone 4 and i Pad all latest software switched to i Cloud, works fine except entries in the Calender of the I Phone are not pushed to I Pad and Mac. reverse (from Mac to I phone and Ipad) it works ok. I pad entries in calender are pushed to Mac and IPhone Who can help me??

On the iPhone open the Calendar app and on the top left conner tap the Calendar button and confirme that the calendars on your iPhone are under iCloud.
If not that is the reason why they are not going.
If they are under iCloud try to toggle off and back on iCloud calendar options.
