Another clickTag issue

Using CS4 intel mac.
url_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickUrl_btn);
function clickUrl_btn (evtObj: MouseEvent) {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest);
URLRequest("http://www.google.com");
I get the following message, but no errors.
WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.
I tried to make the discussion below work for me but I get the same exact message. There used to be an action script 2 button in the file but I removed all trace of it, as far as I know.
Thanks

The code has to be on the timeline, in a frame, and not attached directly to any object. Aside from that your code is also wrong syntactically. Try this:
url_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickUrl_btn);
function clickUrl_btn (evtObj: MouseEvent) {
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"));

    I've opened a bug with Adobe regarding this issue:

    Also, the Cancel operation on a FileReference causes the same issue to happen as does loading.  I really think it's an operating system focus issue.

  • Another Pagination issue

    Maybe this has been previously addressed, but if so I couldn't find it doing a search.
    Anyway, here's the problem I'm having. I have a search form with 4 regions.
    Region 1 has three search fields, defined as "Select List with Submit". The other three regions are conditionally displayed reports, depending on how much data the user selects from the select lists, i.e, in region1 I have country, state, and county. Once the user selects a country, then a report shows the entries for that country. If they also specify a state, then a different (but identical) report runs for that country/state combination. (I did it this way since I was having a devil of a time getting my query to work if the user only supplied a country, and the state and county fields were null, but that's another issue).
    Anyway, say a user is just using at first to see whats out there. They pick a country with 250 entries for it, and then use the pagination "Row Ranges 1-15 16-30 in select list (with pagination)", and go to say record 201. They then decide to look at a different country, say one with only 8 entries. The page is re-submitted, the correct region/SQL Query runs, but the report shows no entries and the pagination says "1-8 of 8" because somehow, somewhere, the pagination is trying to look at record 201 still.
    I finally discovered this after running the above scenario sevaerl times myself, and then finally selecting a country with more entries than the one with the wrong page number, and for that country I was still at the same record number.
    I think I've worded this correctly. Is there some simple fix to this I can do? I'm sure I'm missing absurdly simple once again.
    Thanks,
    Bill Ferguson

    Nevermind...
    I thought about it some more and decided to do a search for "reset pagination" (as opposed to just pagination) and came across a couple other threads that said to create a reset pagination process, and that seems to work for me on this page.

  • Another bootcamp issue

    Hey everyone. I'm having an issue running windows 7 on bootcamp. I install it, everything works install a few things restart it then suddenly when I go on it the computer gets stuck at the 'starting windows' screen. The first time I installed the drivers from snow leopard and while it was logging off it froze so I had to press the manual off button. When it turned back on it was freexing on 'starting windows'. The next time I after reinstalled bootcamp etc the drivers installed perfectly, installed a few games. When I was installing Age of Empires 3 while it was installing it kind of froze. This happened on my windows pc doe to compatibility and pressing ctrlaltdel usually fixed it. But it froze on this and everything else started freezing. I then had to manually press the off button which I did, and then I got the problem again. I was wondering if anyone knew the answer to my problem? By the way Windows boots up in safe mode but not normal.
    Help would be appreciated. By the way this is boot camp installation for the second latest macbook pro.

    Hey again! I'm actually having another problem now. I'm trying to play Star Wars Battlefront II but it pops up with a tnl error. After a bit of research tnl stood for texture and lighting and I needed 3d graphics which requires nvidia drivers which I just deleted because they caused errors on my system (post 1).
    Is there a safr Nvidia card or another way to fix this? Thanks guys.

  • Another strange issue onmy touch

    But I recently encountered another.
    I have few songs that simply do not play off my touch but it will play from the touch icon when the touch is connected to my PC via USB. I check the same songs in the itunes library and they play fine. These same songs play fine on my mini.

  • Yet another export issue with Aperture 3

    Judging by a search of topics, there seem to be a myriad of problems associated with getting files out of Aperture, some of which represent occult setting issues, others which seem to be actual bugs.  I've run into an issue which seems to defy categorization, and I'm not sure if it's me doing something wrong, or if it is actually yet another bug with this software.  I've been an Aperture user since 1.0 and I have to say the current version I'm running (3.4.3) is by far the worst yet.  Anyway, enough whining.  Here are the issues:
    I'm running Aperture on a 6 core Mac Pro with Lion 10.7.5.  There are two thing happening. 
    1.  Exporting JPEGs is INCREDIBLY slow - perhaps as long as 4 or 5 minutes for a 3MB file. 
    2.  This is the one driving me batty right now.  Tried exporting a batch of images as JPEGs at the 50% original size setting.  The master files are large 16 bit TIFF images from Nikon D800 RAW files, post-processed in Nik HDR Efex Pro 2.  They are 80-100MB in size.  When I export the images to a file on my Desktop, it consistently exports 6- 10 KB thumbnails.  I've checked and rechecked my export settings and can find nothing amiss there.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?  Could the view I'm working in have anything to do with this?  I work 95% of the time in split view.
    Thanks,
    Russ

    I agree that there re a lot of posts about exporting, but a very large number of them refer to the same thing, and it's not a bug, but rather a misunderstanding.
    For instance:
    Tried exporting a batch of images as JPEGs at the 50% original size setting.
    Okay.
    The master files are large 16 bit TIFF images from Nikon D800 RAW files, post-processed in Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
    Not relevant.
    They are 80-100MB in size. 
    Not relevant either.
    Why?
    Because size refers to the dimensions of the image. So a 1,000 x 1,000 pixel image exported at 50% will turn out as 500 x 500 pixels.
    Were you expecting a jpeg between 40 and 50 MB? That's Jpeg quality or the amount of compression applied to the image. And as you're compressing a lossless format (tiff) to a lossy one, and one with an aggressive compression algorithm, he resulting Jpeg, even at high quality, will be much, much smaller, more likely in the 6 - 8 MB range.
    That's the nature - and indeed the point - of Jpegs.
    So, if you're getting 6 - 10 kb images, you're exporting at a very low Jepg Quality.
    This may also explain why it's taking so long to export. Getting rid on 99.99% of the data and compressing into 10kb is always going to take time.

  • CS4 on Windows XP SP3 - Another Install Issue

    All,
    I finally got the cash together to get CS4 Design Premium. Now having issues installing.... gee? Really? I've read through this thread but haven't seen anything that mirror what I'm experiencing so, here's yet another post.
    1st...I'm installing from DVD.
    When the autorun kicks in, I select the option to install the product.
    A progress bar appears and gets about 80% of the way across when the Load Setup window pops up. It sits there for about 15 seconds and then just disappears. I downloaded CS Clean Script and Advisor. Advisor tells me diddly squat.
    I've been in touch with Abobe support and have an open ticket with them. Case #0181336723: Instalation of Design premium cs4 I've done everythig that has been suggested to me thus far by Support. Hoping someone else might have a good suggestion.
    I had been running CS2 Design Premium and did a de-install BEFORE starting this process. Also de-fragged my drive to get back some space. I have 20G free on my C drive so that's not the issue.
    Any and all suggestions GREATLY appreciated.
    Thank you.

    1G Memory
    20 G Free on C drive
    1.7Mz processor
    Previously has CS 2 Design Premium installed
    What else might you need to know?
    If you can use them, I'm also attaching the Installer files from my recent attempts to load the software. 1st 2 are from DVD load attempts and most recent was using dowloaed DVD install files from C Drive. Still no luck in installing.

    Thank you for the pointer to the quickstart.  Do you have a good reference for handling exceptions from LiveCycle Workbench?
    Also in response to your other note, I have only Code 128 checked.
    Rahul K at adobe support has suggested we use the ConvertPDFService "toimage" operation to transform the PDF to TIFF prior to scanning for barcodes and this has helped in some instances, but led to other issues.  Apparently "toimage" doesn't like non-flattened documents so we will need to also use the OutputService "transformPDF" operation to flatten, but of course, some of the barcodes are tagged data which will be lost, so we need to have multiple versions of the document floating around.  Also, to use PDFGenerator we need to install Acrobat Pro Extended.  Still sorting through all of this.
    Please chime in if you have additional suggestions.  Sorry to be asking questions that are all over the map, but I'm trying to attack the problem from a number of angles in the hope of getting past this.
    Thanks again,
    Noam

  • Unfortunately another speed issue

    II have had infiinity installed on the 26th April.
    For the first 10 days i had a profile of 77.4mb down and 20 up getting speeds steadily at this
    on the 11th day, it dropped to 65.1md down and 20mb up was getting close to this a fair drop but i had been estimated to get 62.1 so still good.
    1 week lated it dropped to 52.99 down and 20 up but on on speed test only getting 8 up
    today it has dropped again to 45.18mb down.
    I appreciate that it can fluctuate but my brother just had it installed from the same cabinet and he is further away and is getting a steady 64.15mb down. i am no more than 250m cabel length from the cabinet
    can some one help its still alot better than the 0.5mb i was getting on adsl but its a fair drop for no reason, the only thing that i can think of is i was one of the first to get it installed from my cabinet now there is over 70 done.
    Please help Mods
    Thanks

  • Another Temp Issue - Kooling?

    Hi All, I have greatly appreciated what I have read here in the last few weeks lurking.  I have learned much but the one thing I cannot seem to solve is my CPU temps issue.
    My CPU Temp w/ Bios 1.6 and C & Q, w/ no OC was 49C Idle, and about 57-60C after gaming.
    Updated Bios today to 1.7b and C & Q, and it added 4 degrees to that.
    My steps to this date in remedying this have been:
    - Replace stock CPU Heatsink with Thermaltake SilentBoost K8 (dropped idle 5C down to the above 49C in Bios 1.6) Fan Speed ~2450 RPM
    - Reapplied Artic Silver 5 in the manner described on the given website * the BB rice size thing  
    - All cables inside are nicely tucked away for max airflow (have a Scorpio 868w case) and the case has a total count of 8 fans.
    - Installed latest CPU Driver from AMD
    My above readings are from Core Center 1.6.6.0.  With Speedfan I get 49-50C CPU and 32c System.  Bios is a different story, 60C!
    Any help would be appreciated.  I know these temp issues are a continuous subject and hate to ask for redundant info.  I am wondering if I need to purchase a separate Cooler such as Koolance though would not be excited to shell out another $200.  I am intent on getting an ATI Radeon x800 Pro but not until I stabilize temps.  Thanks all!!!

    yep it is cooling.  Play on words.  Had just been reading up on Koolance Cooling units.  I just don't think adding cooling is a solution.  My case is quite clean inside with wires bundled, tucked away etc.  I have 80mm fans 2 front, 2 rear, 1 side, 1 CPU, and 2 PSU Fans.  Quite windy in there.  If there was a true airflow issue or overheating in the case, why would System Temp run at 32C?  I live next to Seattle, WA so safe to say it is fairly cool here usually including in the house.  I brought the case out of its desk enclosure for the best air intake.
    After the many threads here and in AMD, It does make more sense that it would be some sort of discrepancy between the CPU Thermal Diode and how the MoBo / Bios interprets the CPU Temp.  That's a rehash of what I have been reading and is making more and more sense.
    Am trying to be proactive on this temp thing to see is this for real or artifact.   Truth be told, this mobo/cpu makes a smokin fast machine and have no complaints, reboots, BSOD, stability issues on Prime95, Memtest etc.  
    Live Update shows Bios 1.7 today!  I flashed with the Beta one yesterday, what timing!  Is there reason to reflash with this release?

  • Another network issue... C4780 - The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support.

    Hi,
    I've trawled the forum for an answer to this and searched Google until I'm ready to drop the printer from a height.
    A long time ago my printer "lost" its ability to carry out any functions wirelessly, which is a shame because it was the wireless capability that sold it to me, over similar models at the time.  I coped with it, doing things the old fashioned way, more because I wanted to avoid spending an entire day messing around with it ...until today!  Well, I've started so I'll finish (hopefully) as having wireless printing back would improve my workflow.
    The error I'm struggling with is this one, when I attempt to configure printer for wireless:
    The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support.
    I know others have had this issue, as my forum searches show and that for some people a solution was to reset the printer by holding in certain numbers on the keypad.  However, that thread does not explain how to reset the printer if it has no keypad, i.e. mine, the C4780.
    Anyone know how to do this?  Better still, is there a fix out there for what seems to be a common and recurring issue for HP products right across the board?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Another network issue

    Sorry if I'm repeating this question again
    My ATV cannot see my wireless network. My two laptops can see it, as can my wireless desktop and the two iphones in the house. I can see everyone else's network in the street on the ATV but not mine!
    And of course the ATV is not showing up in itunes devices. I've also removed the ATV in the preference panel
    I've reset the Airport, unplugged the ATV, rebooted the computer and sat the ATV next to the Airport to make sure the signal is ok and reset back to factory settings.
    The unit has defaulted back to software version 2.0 but of course now it can't see the network I can't update it
    Earlier this week we lost the internet completely in the house but it came back later in the day - could that have changed something much deeper than the standard resets? Or am I missing something obvious??
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

  • Shared volumes on another mac issue

    I have three Macs. A iMac, Macbook and Macmini. I use the Mac Mini as my HTPC with my movies and stuff on the iMac. I just upgraded them all to Snow Leopard (clean install on iMac upgrade on the others). Now one issue I am having is when the MM reboots, logs in and connects to the iMac drives (I added them to the login items) it asks for the username and password before it connects. The user on the MM and iMac is the same and under Leopard it never asked for that info.
    Not sure why it isn't just connecting since the user is the same. Second issue is that once it mounts the shares it opens a finder window for each. Again this didn't happen in Leopard. Anyway to stop the finder windows from opening?

    BTW, the MBP is also running Lion and they're both updated to the latest version of Lion.

  • [SOLVED] Yet another time issue...

    Hi there,
    I'm having some crazy, hair pulling, head banging UTC time issues on both my dual boot (Arch & Windows 8) desktop and single boot laptop.
    I've been searching and following a mulitude of old threads and the official Wiki guide, however, I simply cannot get UTC time to stay correct between reboots. I've installed Arch a fair few times now, both before and after the switch to systemd and in dual and single boot setups and have never had time related issues like this before...
    Here's a run down of the whole sorry story....
    Fresh install - set time with hwclock --systohw utc as suggested in the beginners guide.
    First boot - time an hour out - huh? cat /etc/adjtime and ls -l /etc/localtime - everything as it should be... UTC and symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London. Nonetheless I duly follow the Time guide on the wiki, get to know timedatectl a bit, and soon after, time is set to be correct. Great.
    Reboot. Time an hour out. Whaaaa??. Start googling, finding a plethora of bbs links to others with similar issues, decide to use NTP. Install, ntpd -qg. All good again. Time right. Phew...
    Reboot. Nope. Arrrrgggghhhh. (Bare in mind - at this point I haven't even booted the Windows 8 disc, and I went through the exact same process on my Arch only laptop...)
    More googling, thread reading. Find out that hwclock and ntp might be in conflict. Delete /etc/adjtime, reinstall tzdata, re-follow Time article to the letter and reenable NTP to start at boot.
    Reboot - time is foward an hour yet again. Bang head repeatedly on desk. Then suddenly - 10 mins or so after boot - NTP kicks in, and time is magically goes back an hour to the correct time! Surely NTP should be doing this early in the boot process, not 10 minutes after? But OK, at least something is happening...
    Next I dare to boot into Windows, and yup, time an hour out. Expected, but frustrating nonetheless. Add the registry tweak as suggested in the guide, and turn off the Windows time synchronisation. During which I noticed that Windows 8 time is set to UTC by default, not localtime, which is what the wiki says. Is this a Windows 8 thing?
    I can't help thinking, that if this is the case, and the Wiki advise is written under the assumption that Windows time is always localtime, that perhaps this is the route of my problem....
    Anyway, Windows time all good now, reboot Arch, time again wrong untill NTP finally kicks in - sigh. Reboot to Windows. Time an hour back. Gaaaahhhh - WTF?!! reset it to be correct. Try again. Same thing. Oops, forgot to mention that on each reboot, I check the BIOS clock, which remains persistently correct during the whole debarkle...
    Ok, so I try without the registry hack and turn Windows sync back on. Still fucked. I try various combinations of the two, I try resetting Arch time over and over again. With NTP - late sync. With hwclock only, or both hwclock & NTP - totally fucked! Eventually, I give up on UTC in Arch, set it localtime, delete registry key, turn Windows time sync back on, and thus far all good......
    TL;DR - couldn't get hwclock to set UTC time correctly across reboots. NTP worked (sort of), but after each reboot it would take ten minutes for the time to sync and the clock to move back an hour to the correct time. Localtime just works...
    My question is - why is the wiki (and the timedatectl status output for that matter) - so adamant that we should use UTC? From what I can gather, as long as I boot Windows around the DST time. or manually move the clock forward or back an hour - all should be well, no? Or are there other issues that I may run into that I've missed? The thing I'm most concerned about is data corruption due to timestamp issues...
    Also, why does the wiki repeatedly say that Windows uses localtime, when this doesn't appear to be the case in Eight? Does the wiki need updating or is Windows lying to me? I know which I'd put my money on ;-)
    Finally can anyone explain why my time was always an hour forward after a reboot, even when the time was set correctly before, the BIOS showed the correct time, and NTP was in use?
    Sorry for the crazy long posting, but this issue has been driving me totally batty!! Any light-shedding greatfully appreciated :-)

    Ok, so I set the clock back an hour in the BIOS, booted Windows - time right - YAY.
    Rebooted Arch - time right. OMFG - pure joy!!!
    I have to say, I still find it odd that this is how it works, and would like to confirm that things are looking as they should in the output from the following commands....

    Is it OK to now reinstall NTP to keep the clock in sync on Arch, and are the Windows reg tweaks still necessary on Windows 8?
    Thank you guys SOOO much for all the unbelievabley speedy help on this issue - you have no idea how much this has been stressing me out!!
