Alignment issues between timelines?

I am stumped. I am not a newbie, but this is driving me crazy.
(not my file, supplied by client) I have a movie clip in the main timeline, which in its own timeline has rollover buttons which coincide with popup panels in the main timeline. I need to add a callout line between the rollover buttons on the movie clip timeline with the popups on the main timeline.
I have tried to do a quick copy/paste thing from the MC timeline just to add the callouts (and then delete it) to the main, but everything shifts over to another place, and that does not help me at all, and I really dont know why! Like I said, driving me crazy.
Any clues on how to align a main timeline object(s) with a object(s) on its own timeline? And, am I a moron? : ) why can I not copy paste and/or use the properties x/y to place it in? When I do it shifts to a way different location on the main timeline. Seriously, stumped.
Help?
Thanks!

oy, what a tedious task. Are all the symbols you need to copy/paste in one symbol? That would at least make things a little easier. Either way do this:
1. keep the mc you are copying from on the main timeline for reference.
2. go into the mc, double click or Edit>Edit in Place
3. with the layers you want to copy from unlocked, highlight all your frames. Its easy to do if you just click the layer names, shift click to select multiples in order.
4. right click on the selected frames, and chose Copy Frames. (the layers all need to be adjacent). See Image 1 attached.
5. go to your main timeline and make a new layer
6. highlight all the frames on that layer, same way in #3
7. right click and choose Paste Frames.
Now you just need to align. we kept the mc on the timeline for reference, so this now gets easier.
1. Lock all the layers you DONT want to move.
2. Turn on Onion Skin. See image 2 attached
3. click the Modify Onion Markers buttons and choose Anchor Onion. See image 3.
4. click it again and choose Onion All.
5. Hit cntrl/cmd+A to grab all the frames to move
6. Now reposition all your mcs to where you need them. You could drag them with the mouse, or tap with arrows. But I like to just do the math, its percise. You can check them against the mc we left on stage.
With so many symbols to move you may want to do them in segments. A set of maybe 10 at a time.
When you are all done copying/pasting frames, Delete the symbols you dont need on the main timeline. Then, in the Library, click the little drop down in the top right and choose Select Unused Items and hit delete. You might need to do this twice. once to clear the symbols not in use, and again to clear out bitmaps or sounds or other symbols that were inside of the first group deleted.

  • Alignment Issues between dreamweaver and browser

    Hi
    Hoping someone can help, i'm trying to learn how to make
    better sites with advanced tools like apDIV's but seem to be
    running into an alignment issue. When I make the html file in
    dreamweaver I seem to have to off set the images and div tags
    inorder for the site to show up aligned properly in firefox,
    explorer, etc. I'm thinking there might be a problem in the actual
    code causing this but am not good enough yet to find it or the
    problem, any ideas or guidence would be greatly accepted. below if
    the links work is the difference I see between dreamweaver and when
    its launched in a browser.

    > over a centered frame
    You are not using frames - that's a table.
    Yes - there's a way to do this, but it will involve your
    working in code.
    Make your page left aligned by removing any centering.
    Then position your layer so that it is properly located over
    the table.
    Change this -
    </head>
    to this -
    <style type="text/css">
    #wrapper { width:760px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
    /* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser
    window without */
    /* horizontal scrollbars. */
    </style>
    </head>
    (you may need to adjust this width so that it's consistent
    with the width of
    your centering table)
    change this -
    <body ...>
    (the ellipsis represents any other attributes that might be
    mentioned in the
    body tag, and SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED EXPLICITLY!)
    to this -
    <body ...>
    <div id="wrapper">
    and this -
    </body>
    to this -
    <!-- /wrapper -->
    </div>
    </body>
    and see if that helps.

  • Printing alignment issue

    Hi,
    I am using inDesign CS3 on Windows XP. On the computer screen, my layouts look exactly how I want them to. However, when I print my document, the alignments are not correct. In particular, the master page spread seems not to line up with marks that I have made on individual pages. How can I fix the alignment issue?
    The printer is a HP Laserjet 9000 dn -- an industrial strength behemoth.
    Thanks,
    Liat.

    The master page content seems to be off by a millimeter or so when I print.
    The "marks" I've drawn on the actual pages are lines and rectangles. These lines and rectangles are drawn so that they fit within certain areas of the master page content. When I print, the lines and rectangles are 1-2 millimeters off from where they are supposed to be with respect to the master.
    In particular, my master page contains a theater seating chart. On the individual pages themselves, I "highlight" a certain seats in the chart by drawing a gray rectangles over these seats. When I print, these rectangles are shifted 1 mm to the left, and no longer fully "cover" the seats they are supposed to, making my publication look a bit sloppy.
    Besides this 1-mm alignment issue between the master content and the content on individual pages, all other content is printing just fine.
    I do not think that this is an issue of the page position in the print dialog box, since that would make a drastic alignment problem, not one as small as I am getting.
    I thought about converting to PDF, but: I am printing my document as a booklet. I am working with 2-page spreads, each page being 8.5 by 5.5 inches. I have been using inDesign's "print booklet" function (2-up saddle stitch) to print my double-sided booklet. I have not yet figured out how to either (1) print PDFs as booklets or (2) export my inDesign document to PDF so that all the booklet-printing properties are preserved (i.e. page order, etc.), so that I can simply print the PDF normally.
    I think you're right that PDF might be the way to go, since usually PDF's talk to printers better than inDesign seems to.
    Thank you,
    Liat

  • BxSlider alignment issue

    Hi guys!
    I'm using bxSlider in a site for a client. After a bit of messing around, everything seems to work but I can't get the slides to align properly.
    Hopefully you'll see what I mean if you check it out, click here.
    Does anyone know what's causing the issue? - CSS/Javascript??
    Thank you,
    SM

    Well spotted, thank you Jon! - that all works out...
    Then I guess the problem is that there is a space between the arrow and the left side of the thumbnails. Then once the cycle of the four slides has looped, the gap/space moves between the right side of the thumbnails and the right arrow.
    Is there any way that you can see to get the slides align evenly between the arrows?
    Thank you for all your help

  • Routing issue between Cisco Nexus and Cisco 4510 R+E Chassis

    We have configured Cisco Nexus 7K9 as core and Cisco 4510 R+E as access switches for Server connectivity.
    We are experiencing problem in terms of ARP learning and Ping issues between Cisco Nexus and end hosts.

    Hi,
    So you have N7k acting as L3 with servers connected to 4510?.
    Do you see the MAC associated with failing ARP in 4510?. Is it happening with all or few servers?. Just to verify if it is connectivity issue between N7k and 4510, you can configure an SVI on 4510 and assign address from same raneg (server/core range) and perform a ping.
    This will help narrow down if issue is between server to 4510 or 4510 to N7k.
    Thanks,

  • Serious Sync issues between iTunes 8.0.2 and AppleTV 2.3

    Please Help,
    Everything was just wonderful until several weeks back when the AppleTV started having sync issues that seem to have degraded into oblivion. Rebooted everything, checked all software loads, tried many of the suggestions (no blocking network / firewall issues) and have even tried adding redundant port allows for any and all ports I could find going in / out of Apple TV. But to no avail there seems to be a bug that got introduced somewhere with the sync mechanisms.
    The Apple TV can purchase movies, download them fast to start playing, view youtube videos just fine and play all of the media great, So can my Mac and all media / iTunes functions work well it even syncs with my iPhone / iPods well.
    However... The only way I can get the AppleTV to sync is to reboot it, then it will sync some, iTunes will just get to a forever syncing with Apple TV state (which you have to stop), reboot AppleTV again, it will sync some more, until it stops, iTunes is stuck syncing forever with AppleTV again, repeat and rinse about 4 more times and you have it all synced.
    If there isn't anything to sync when AppleTV boots the Sync in iTunes just spins for ever. I actually left it for 4 days just to see if it was actually doing anything. Minimal Network IO and of course it never finished.
    If I stop the Sync with Apple TV in iTunes and then try to reinitiate it from iTunes I get the 3986 port error (which is bogus) unless there is some hidden setting somewhere in the OS that I can't find. And if there was a problem then why would it start and run when I boot the Apple TV.
    It just seems that all of a sudden things started going wrong with Sync with no real change other than 'software updates' .
    The only thing I haven't tried is to do a factory reset on the AppleTV which from what I have read doesn't really solve anything.
    So, please someone from Apple or someone with some detailed technical experience provide some guidance on whether there is a bug that got introduced, version issues between iTunes/AppleTV, or something else going that I haven't been able to figure out over the last 2 weeks.
    The only other unique things that may be different is that I have my iTunes library on an external drive (not on the internal drive). Does this many any difference?
    Thank You in advance to anyone that can help me get to the bottom of these issues. This started happening when I was totally sold on AppleTV and about to buy a second one.
    mmilford

    And it's good to know I'm not the only one with the problem too! I just cannot sync stuff from Mac to Apple TV without it locking up. It actually seems to lock the wifi also, meaning I have to quit iTunes, turn off the wifi and then turn it back on again. But as soon as I open iTunes, the same problem again...
    I've tried everything I can think of, searched all help articles, but cannot sort out this somewhat annoying problem.

  • Any known 'porting' issues between 8.2.2 and 9.0 ??

    Hi all,
    we are in the process of evaluating LS ES2 (9.0) and would like to know if there are any 'porting' issues between the two versions.   Asked another way, are there any issues in deploying a 8.2.2. LCA onto 9.0 ?
    Dan

    8.2 LCA's will run fine in 9.0 if they are just deployed into it.  But in 9.0 a new application model has been introduced, so in order to make changes to anything after you've migrated it you'll need to create an application and migrate your processes and resources into it.  You may want to take a look at the Leveraging Legacy Solution document available online.  Here's the link:  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm?content=leveragingLegacy. html .

  • File sharing issues between iMac G5 20"/Mac OS 10.5.8 and iBook G3 600mhz/Mac OS 10.4.9.

    Both Macs can copy files from each other using the AFP connection.  However, I cannot copy files to another Mac.  So when I try and copy a file from the iMac to the iBook, I get these series of messages:
    1) You May Need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer on this computer to change the item names "filename".
    2) The item "filename" contains one or more items  you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?
    3) The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
    I'm not given the prompt for name and password at any stage.
    When I try and copy from the iBook to the iMac, this is the only message I receive:
    The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
    I'm not given the prompt for name and password at any stage.
    With the iMac, I have the permissions preferences set for my startup drive and external harddrives for Read and Write for all entries.  I can't do that on the iBook because it doesn't have those settings in the Sharing Preferences.
    Could the fact that both Macs use the same user/account name and password?  I never had this issue between my iBook and Power Mac G3 300mhz/Mac OS 10.2.8 when having the same name and password.
    All help is appreciated.  Thanks.

    I've done a little reading, and it has to do with under the hood stuff with the Login ID number.  I found how to change it on the iBook, but I can't figure it out on the iMac.  Ideally, I want them to both be 501.  So how do I sent the iMac in Mac OS 10.5.8?

    This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

  • Issues between power, usb and airport?

    Well, after having my new MacBook Pro for only a couple of weeks, I've come to the conclusion that there are some pretty weird issues between the power manager, usb bus and airport (and from what I've read here, are pretty widespread issues). First, every time I charge the battery, my Logitech MX laser mouse stutters and jumps all over the screen (trackpad works smoothly though). If I turn off airport, the mouse works smoothly again. When the battery is done charging, the mouse will work smoothly again. Second, every now and then (when the mouse isn't connected) the trackpad will start to stutter and jump all over the screen. When this happens, I've noticed that the graphics card is running slowly as well (expose stutters). Both of these issues can then be remedied by one of two actions, either plug something into a usb port, or turn off airport. I am also suffering from the missing first letter issue, which also seems to go away by disabling airport... So, since disabling airport most of the time is not an option, anyone care to take a guess as to how long it will take Apple to come up with a fix to these issues?

    TM does not backup to a networked drive in the same way as a directly connected drive. A networked drive requires the creation of a .sparsebundle disc image file that holds the actual backed up files. So when you shift from direct to networked connection TM actually makes a different backup. This is unrelated to the actual type of port connection. So there's really nothing you can do to have TM use one backup for each type of connection used in your situation.

  • VPD date issue between 10.1 and 10.2 databases

    I have uncovered an issue today with VPD against date fields. The issue came up at a client site on a 10.2 database. When I got back to the hotel and tried this on my own database, which is 10.1, I got no issue and everything worked ok.
    Therefore, I am asking if anyone is able to try out the following for me on different Oracle databases and platforms and let me know whether it worked for you or not. I'd like to compile a list of database versions and platforms on which the issue occurs.
    Step 1: create this table as a user
    CREATE TABLE TST_DATE AS (
    SELECT 1 PERSON_UID,
    Trunc(SYSDATE) BIRTH_DATE,
    To_Char(Trunc(SYSDATE), 'DD-MON-YYYY') CHAR_DATE,
    123456 TAX_ID,
    'Smith, Michael B.' FULL_NAME FROM dual);
    Step 2: grant select rights on the table
    GRANT SELECT ON TST_DATE TO PUBLIC;
    Step 3: switch your login to SYS and run this script:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION F_CHECK_ITEM_TST(p_object_schema in varchar2, p_object_name varchar2)
    RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    V_PREDICATE VARCHAR2(2000) := '1 = 2';
    BEGIN
    RETURN(V_PREDICATE);
    END F_CHECK_ITEM_TST;
    Step 4: As SYS, run this to grant access rights over the function
    GRANT EXECUTE ON F_CHECK_ITEM_TST TO PUBLIC;
    Step 5: As SYS, run this to enable the policy
    BEGIN DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY(
    OBJECT_SCHEMA => 'DRAKE',
    OBJECT_NAME => 'TST_DATE',
    POLICY_NAME => 'SecByTST',
    FUNCTION_SCHEMA => 'SYS',
    POLICY_FUNCTION => 'F_CHECK_ITEM_TST',
    STATEMENT_TYPES => 'SELECT',
    POLICY_TYPE => DBMS_RLS.DYNAMIC,
    SEC_RELEVANT_COLS => 'BIRTH_DATE',
    SEC_RELEVANT_COLS_OPT => DBMS_RLS.ALL_ROWS);
    END;
    Note: in the above policy change the OBJECT_SCHEMA name to be the name of the user who owns the table you created in Step 1
    Step 6: Go into Discoverer Admin and import the table as a new folder.
    Be sure to uncheck the "Date hierarchies" box and set "Default aggregate on data points" to detail. Grant access to any user.
    Step 7: Using Desktop or Plus, log in as that user then try to query the folder with the date not included, there should be no problem.
    Step 8: Now try to query with the date included
    On my 10.2 database I get ORA-24334: no descriptor for this position. This happens when logged into Discoverer as the table owner, EUL owner or any other user. However, when logged into Discoverer as SYS which is exempt from all VPD policies, there is no error when the date is included.
    We tried this in Discoverer Desktop, Plus and Viewer with the same results in all three. We can successfully query the table from SQL*Plus, SQL Developer and TOAD.
    There also seems to be no issue at all with the 10.1 database so there seems to be an issue between Discoverer and the 10.2 database.
    What do you think?
    P.S. to cancel the policy use this script when logged in as SYS:
    EXEC DBMS_RLS.drop_policy(
    OBJECT_SCHEMA => 'DRAKE',
    OBJECT_NAME => 'TST_DATE',
    POLICY_NAME => 'SecByTST');
    This same information is available on my blog in a more readable format here:
    http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2006/12/vpd-date-issue-between-101-and-102.html

    Hi Rod
    Well don't you just love Oracle. Obviously, whatever tests were done for certifying Discoverer against the 10.2 database did not include checking VPD policies. This merits a blog entry from me.
    Your workaround for V_PREDICATE VARCHAR2(2000) := 'BIRTH_DATE=TO_DATE(''01-JAN-0001'')'; works. However, I had to write a new function to do this because my real function was trapping about a dozen items at the same time, some dates, some numbers and some varchars - exactly the way that the Oracle example code shows it in the 10.2 database manual.
    So what I did was to create a new function that only handles dates and added a dedicated policy that works with only that function. Unfortuately, because I have many dates to manage, I was unabe to hard code the BIRTH_DATE so here is what I did:
    V_PREDICATE VARCHAR2(2000) := 'SYSDATE = TO_DATE(''01-JAN-0001'')';
    This works perfectly and Discoverer stopped complaining. It just has two policies on the same table for different data items. Isn't VPD cool? I'm hooked.
    I really appreciate your time and effort on this. Now, let's see what Oracle support make of the issue because I raised a service request last night. No reply yet I'm afraid.
    Best wishes

  • Adobe Flash IDE: Migration/Compatibility issues between Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and CS5

    Hi,
    Adobe Flash IDE: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5
    I am facing some  migration/compatibility issues between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe  Flash Professional CS5:
    I am working on a project that has  been completely developed in CS3 earlier. When I am using CS5 (Flash Player 9 /  Flash Player 10) to compile the FLA files, it is creating some new issues like  some customized radio buttons are getting disappeared while viewing the SWF on a  web page etc.
    So, I would like to  know:
    1) Is there any  migration/compatibility issue between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe  Flash Professional CS5?
    2) If yes: Is there any patch  available from Adobe for it?
    3) If no: What could be the causes  and the best possible solutions for it?
