AS3: TextField - How do get rid of text select cursor

SC3 - AS3
How do we turn off the text select cursor?
I have a button object that has dynamic text, and the hand
cursor works fine outside of the text object but over the text
object the cursor is changing to a text select cursor!
I am setting selectable to false for the text field.

Is your dynamic text field part of a button? I just created a
test file with a dynamic text field set to not selectable and it is
not showing the text cursor.
Also, are you dynamically generating the text field or are
you drawing it on the stage?

  • Any idea how to get rid of "text enhance" and "ad yield manager"?

    When I try to go to c\documents and settings to delet this cookie I am denied access. Norton can't see it. Spybot can't see it iether.

    Backing up an iPhone never takes 32GB of memory... it really should not take more than 1 or 2GB at the most.  NO media is included in the backup.
    Remove the incomplete backups if they are what is really taking up space.
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
    It also might be time to consider a larger hard drive or moving the media to an external drive.

  • Get rid of text-select-turning-into-cursor-on-second-click

    I'm currently trying to select only some of many separate text pieces, and I can't do it because the select arrow is constantly turning into a cursor. (I finally had to lock all the other layers and do several click-and-drags around the page to get the right pieces.) Don't know why they ever did this--when I work in Illustrator, I need the text cursor much less often than I need to move text objects around the page.
    Someone said on this forum that it used to be you would hit "tab" to get the cursor--I see no problem with going back to that.
    If anyone knows how I can get better control over the select arrow, then please let me know.

    >The feature is a time waster. Hitting t on the keyboard is much more accurate and doesn't involve command-z or escape then switching BACK to the desired tool when a double click has accidentally occurred. I realize this is my opinion and may not be shared by Nini's "most users," whomever they are.
    But double-clicking
    is more accurate and reliable. I can double-click on a text item to edit it, but when I use the Type tool I often end up clicking on nearby paths, converting them to text objects. A one-step action becomes a multi-step action. Point Nini.
    However I agree, too, that there often seems to be a hair trigger on the double-click. An option in the preferences to enable the feature would probably satisfy most users. Where by "most" I mean "all".

  • How to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page AND move things

    I usually work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but am creating two newsletter templates in Pages for a colleague, since it will be easier for her. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page that is driving me crazy. I just want a nice blank page that I can do whatever I want with. AND, I can't figure out how to select things so that I can move them, like shapes and text boxes. Some things seem to move fine, then other things just sit there. I am at the end of my rope!!!

    Hi, Dylan. Welcome to Discussions.
    If you're referring to the area where you just start typing when you open a new blank document, you can't get rid of it. But you also don't have to use it. You can insert text boxes and size and position them as you desire. Just be sure they're defined as Fixed on Page. When one is full and you want to continue it to another page (or to the side), click in the blank blue box on the lower right side of the text box. That will create another box and your overflow text will flow into it. Then position it where needed.
    Also, you can create a text box the width of the page and then set it for 2 or more columns.
    When you want to send something to the back and you may want to access it again later, just use the send backward command. If you send it all the way to the back, it will be behind the main text layer (where it will be safe from acvcidental movement) but you will have to click outside the work area and then drag the pointer to the object to select it.
    Hope this helps to get you started.

    Is the graphics card dusty?
    If equipped, is the fan on the graphics card turning?
    Leopard uses the graphics card harder than Tiger, so weakness in the graphics card is more easily shown.

  • I've got OSX/Genieo.A virus on my mac and don't know how to get rid of it and why I have it

    I've got OSX/Genieo.A virus on my mac and don't know how to get rid of it and w I have it

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You installed the "Genieo" malware. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the malware (as long as you never reinstall it.)
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.
    If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
    Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
    /Applications/Genieo.app
    /Applications/Reset Search.app
    /Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
    /usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
    ~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this trojan. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the attacker sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to run a fake "uninstaller." As he intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware, and is in fact malware itself.

  • How to get rid of title bar of a quicktime window?

    The main problem:
    I want to display the title info etc about each track as they play in iTunes. How can I do that on an otherwise black screen (desktop) (I don't want to use the visualizer with its psychedelic patterns).
    Background:
    I want to play music from iTunes (many pieces in a row - for like a full day). While this is happening I want the title etc of the tune to be displayed on the screen, like white smallish text against a black background in the lower right hand corner. At the same time I want slides to be displayed on the screen.
    So, with iPhoto I can run a slide show but only while one piece of music is playing.
    Instead I can have the desktop slowly change (from system preferences) with images from a folder every 5 seconds. That's not too bad. Looks good, actually, except for that annoying menu bar at the top! Well, black tape can hide that one (or a second display and move it over there). Now iTunes can play away all day.
    As to how to get the title etc of the song playing displayed I was thinking about somehow extracting it from iTunes with applescript, then paste it into the text track of a quicktime movie, and display that little movie in a small window. I have figured out how to get rid of the controller from the window. But, I can not figure out how to get the title bar of the quicktime window to go away - that is I want a window with nothing around it, neither controllers nor title bar nor anything. How do I create such a window. Any good ideas out there?
    Or is there a totally different way of obtaining the same effect?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You could try posting at the QuickTime discussion area. There might be an iTunes visualizer that allows you to make a slideshow with track info. It has been a while since I tried making a SMIL file, but I think you could do what you want with that. Not sure how you create a streaming text of track information. I would have to do some reviewing.
    gl,

  • How to Get Rid of the Extra cents left on your gift Card balance?

    I would very much like some help on how to get rid of the 65 cents I have left in my itunes account, without having to spend it on something, or make a new account, or contact Apple. Please someone help with this, I'm sure many other are having trouble as well!!!!

    I noticed there is an extension which lets you clear the title of the current page or replace it with other text. This seems to work equally well in private and non-private windows, however, it doesn't appear to have an option to automatically do it in all private windows. Maybe someone can add that feature (the author isn't maintaining the add-on any more).

  • Printing Docs - how to get rid of 3 inch wasted space on right side of page

    I tried to print out : Communicating With Objects
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaFunda mentals/CommunicatingWithObjects/CommunicateWithObjects.html
    After trying several different settings and printed only the first page until I got the print more or less the way I wanted it, however...
    I have a standard HP Color Laserjet 2600n, looked at all the printing preferences, and all four margins are set at (.25 inch), yet when the pages print out there are about 2.5 inches of wasted space on the left side. The space is there for the Table of Contents, but there is nothing printed there, the space is blank.
    So I clicked on the Table of Contents header, so the TOC became hidden and the window only contained the text and images, then when I tried to print, I found that now there were about 3 inches of white space on each page on the right hand side. This is somewhere around a 40% waste in paper, trees, etc.
    One would think that expensive as printing is, there would be a way to save paper by optimizing coverage on each page as much as possible.
    Another curious thing is that the size of the text on the screen is easy to read at Safari normal (default) settings, yet when the first page is printed the text is really small.
    In order to get the size of the print on the paper to be easily readable, I had to click on the large [a][A] at the top of the Safari window twice (+ 2 sizes). The text on the window was fairly large, but the print became easy to read. There was still an excessive amount of wasted space, which just goes against the grain...
    Does anybody have a clue how to get rid of all the wasted space on each page ? There has to a simple way, this is 2010 and we've been doing this for 25+ years now.
    I am sure it is something simple that I am overlooking ? I'd be grateful for any help.
    Thank You,

    Is this question now solved?
    Excuse me if it is, but I am really freaking out about this and don't know what to do.
    I don't want to launch my website before everything is perfect and I really want the yellow-pop-up-box-bstrd to go away.
    I am using this code which works fine in ff and safari but not in ie:
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    function clearTooltip() {
    _links = parent.document.links;
    for (i=0; i<_links.length; i++) {
    _links.setAttribute('title', '');
    chkFooter = setInterval('checkFooter()', 100);
    function checkFooter() {
    if (parent.document.getElementById('footer_layer') != null) {
    clearTooltip();
    clearInterval(chkFooter);
    </script>
    Should I modify it in some way? Any ideas?

  • Funny symbol & how to get rid of it

    I was working with text a while ago. All is ok. Then suddenly, I don't know how it happen, when I press "T" and start to click on an area where I will put a text, a funny symbol like the one below starts to appear.
    Can anyone tell me what caused this symbol to appear and how to get rid of it? I tried looking at google but I don't know how to type in that kind of symbol. Also, the symbol can't be copied. Thanks!

    Go to Type>Show Hidden Characters to deselect that option, and the "funny symbol" should go away. It's a pilcrow, or paragraph mark, that's ordinarily invisible.
