Buttons moved together in some kind of container.

Hi everyone
I have, let's say 10 buttons that I want to move at a click of another button that is separate from them. If I put them in a movie clip, they will not behave as buttons anymore. I could write the code separately for each button to make them move but it is tiring and not elegant.
My idea, is to have these buttons hidden at the beggining in the far right of the timeline, and at a click of a button, bring them back together in the middle of the scene. My buttons still behaving like buttons.
Is there a way to move them together and preserving them as buttons ? This is the issue for me today, And thanks in advance for help.

"they will not behave as buttons anymore" ??
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, act);
to
cont.button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, act);
where cont is the instance name of the container

"Volume not found" I have 3 iphoto_libraries stored in a external disk, while the actual files are in other external disk. Ive moved together iphotolibraries and files but: HOW CAN I TELL THE LIBRARIES WHERE TO FIND THEM NOW?

I have three iphoto_libraries stored in a external disk PASSPORT (one for each trip imovie Im making -Ive managed this way the libraries so to not confuse the trips) while the actual files are in OTHER external disk LACIE. And everything was fine: imovie find each library, could work with it, or iphoto could edit the files.
But one day everything crashed at the same time: i opened iphoto to find 3 different scenarios:
1) iphoto_library GREECE was there, but not the albums i prepared. no events. when double click in any of them: "Volume not found"
2) iphoto_library ITALY was there, and the albums i prepared too, but empty.
in both cases I can only see the photos in 'photos' because 'events' shows some events with photo preview and some with no preview, just some kind of preset clipart palm tree, but if i enter the event, photos are there but again: when double click in any item: "Volume not found"
3) iphoto_library ISRAEL was there, the albums too, when double click in any of them: all OK
The 3 libraries was managed the same way. Meaning: Ive imported photos to iphoto from external disk LACIE in a iphotolibrary stored in another external disk PASSPORT. Also: I don't have unchecked the option "copy to file" or something like that. photos where moved, not copied. Also i have all the movie_libraries in the PASSPORT as well. What happened??
Solution? Nothing yet. Ive moved now all the photo folders from LACIE together in PASSPORT with the iphotolibraries but problem persist:
HOW CAN I TELL THE LIBRARIES WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE VOLUMES NOW?
"Volumes" are the original files aren't them?
Please help. this is so annoying to try and find in the forum, to tricky to explain
I have a Macbook pro retina Yosemite 10.10.1 / iphoto 9.6 (910-29)/ iMovie 10.0.6
THANK YOU
Vicky

This is not clear, especially when you say
I don't have unchecked the option "copy to file" or something like that. photos where moved, not copied.
Especially as the message you're getting is typical of a library where the ' option "copy to file" or something like that' is unchecked.
So it's a simple question:
Are you these Managed or Referenced Libraries?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

On old macbook photos would just go into iPhoto my hitting iPhoto button. On the Mac Pro when I hit iPhoto button they "swish" into some document file on dock and I can't get them into my photos and events. Can anyone please help. Gabrielle

I am having major trouble trying to get photos into IPhoto. On my old macbook, I just had to hit the IPhoto button - I have hundreds of photos and events but now I have this MacPro when I hit the Iphoto button the photos just "disappear" into a document file on the dock and the photos are all contained in some kind of arcs....I'm not computer literate and spent 2 years in one on one just learning IPhoto Could some one out there please help me.?

What version of iPhoto are you using? Where are the photos coming from that go into the document on the Dock? What iPhoto button are you referring to?

X1 info/dashboard/home/some kind of screen?

Over the weekend a 3 year old neice of my wife's got a hold of our Xfinity DVR remote. After she left, I turned the TV on and there was some kind of an info screen on display, that I can not for the life of me identify or reproduce. The screen looked similar to a Windows 8 'tiled' display. Background/wallpaper was a bright flowery image, not the typical black Xfinity menu/guide type screen, with a scrolling information box in the lower left corner of the screen. The box contained weather information, and I think traffic information. Audio was from the TV channel that was tuned in, which I believe to be completely unrelated to the information/dashboard/home/whatever screen. Once I got back to regular TV mode, I have been unable to figure out what had been turned on. I've looked at the available apps, hit just about every combination of buttons on the remote... and have been unable to reproduce whatever mode our young relative did, completely by accident. The remote for the TV itself wasn't accessible... so whatever got turned on was done via the Xfinity/Comcast remote. Does anybody have any idea what got turned on, activated, whatever?

Other internet browser shows these pictures correct. It seems to me the problem concerns .bmp files

HELP! My ipad screen is showing some kind of "snowy-white noise TV effect" it looks kind of "grainy". This ipad is new, no drops or accidents whatsoever... and thanks in advance!

HELP! My ipad screen is showing some kind of "snowy-white noise TV effect" it looks kind of "grainy". This happened when i was reading a pdf an zooming in for a better view, now this "snowy, grainy" screen is also showing up in the home screen...This ipad is new, about 2 weeks with no drops or accidents whatsoever... I'm thinking of replacing it... responses greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
but it is possible youhave a hardware defect and will need to return it.

Is there some kind of script similar to TWM's iconify for any WM or DE

I know that's a rather specific question, but I really want to find something similar.
Today I was playing around with TWM and modifying it to work as I wanted it, but on the end I decided, that I still prefer KDE over it.
But one option that really stuck with me was iconify.
I guess in more modern WM's it was replaced by minimize, but I kind of like the idea of having "icons" of minimized windows floating around my desktop.
So anyway, is anyone aware of some kind of script that would have a similar option?
And if there isn't any how hard would it to make it "myself" (NB.: I'm not really a programmer, so if anyone else thinks this is a good idea, we could work together or something).
Thanks in advance.

Many panels can do this. Specifically, I think tint2 would be the easiest to configure for something like the Win3.1 style of iconifying. Just set the tint2rc to only show iconified items, have all transparent backgrounds, and to show only icons and no text.
EDIT: I guess this depends on whether you'd want to be able to drag the icons around. Tint2 would not allow this. They'd just show when the window was iconified, and could be clicked on to show the window again. As another option, Rox desktop manager does something like this if I'm remembering right (it's been a while).

IPod leaking some kind of fluid - NEW

Hi,
I have a 60G iPod video which in the past few months started to leak some kind of fluid from to wheel button. The push button in the center of the wheel also sunk down but is still functioning.
Since the button had sunk down I assumed that it is some kind of oil used in the button but the leak doesn't stop. This made me think that it might be the battery leaking but again the device is still working.
I could only find here a related post in the name "iPod leaking some kind of fluid" (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5223930) but with no answers.
Can anyone help? Is there a way to make sure that it is not the battery who's leaking before the entire device goes dead?
Thanks.

Batteries= storage system for electricity. Although it may not be acid (as the batteries are not lead-acid batteries but rather lithium-ion), it could still be fluid from the battery.
Whatever it is, it's not a good sign. Google for iPod repair. iresq.com comes up a lot in discussions.
Best of luck.

Movieclip button keeps disappearing for some reason.

I created our website using Actionscript 2.0 and on several of our pages there is a drop-down text box that has a "close" button on it, which is just a movieclip located inside the text box movieclip. For some reason, if you stay on a page for a few minutes the close button disappears. The hand still shows up when you hover over where it was at and you can still click on it, but it just turns invisible. I'm not sure what's causing this. Any suggestions?
The website is: www.klaesimage.com
Thanks,
Shaun

My guess is that you have some kind of loop that adjusts the _alpha to brighten it up that is like this:
myButton.onRollover=function(){
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
this._alpha+=10;
And you don't have a conditional to say, "when alpha reaches 100 stop adding more."
So what happes is that the alpha value goes about 100 and when it gets to something like 2^15 it wraps around and becomes an incredibly low negative number. If you wait another few minutes it should eventually get back to positive values!
Of course the best bet would be to put in some conditionals to control that it doesn't go above/below 100/0.
After watching it for a while longer I saw that it does cycle. I'm not sure why because its alpha should just stay at 100 once it's on that frame, the dissolve up is from a motion tween where the entire contents of the text box go from 0 alpha to 100 alpha over 10 or so frames, but once there on the frame where it stops there shouldn't be any changes to the alpha.

Why do I get some kind of checkerboarding across my display and then a freezeup?

on occasion I get some kind of an odd what I'd call "Checkerboard" on and about my display. It does NOT affect my TV when I'm using it as an outboard 2nd display but on the built in only. Occasionally this ends with the system locking up and I have to reset using the power button. Yesterday it must have taken 4 or 5 resets to finally get things to settle down.

Some kind of error message...not sure what to do!

So my 20GB iPod is showing some kind of error message when I either try to turn it on or charge it. The error is a picture of a little iPod who has an unhappy looking face and there is an exclamation point next to it. I have no idea whats going on with the iPod but I have had it for like 2 years so I'm not sure if it's the battery going bad or what.

See these troubleshooting articles.

Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

So far basically what I did for the connection was create a constant equal to the name of the database, in the servlet. I will post my Servlet code so far, and I suppose it would help people with either I am going about this all wrong, or on the right track.
public class SMServ extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet{
      private static void initialize()throws SQLException {
      String dataSourceName = Constants.MY_DS;
      try{
      Context wocContext = new InitialContext();
      DataSource ds = (DataSource)wocContext.lookup(dataSourceName);
      Connection conn = null;
      conn = ds.getConnection();
      }catch(NamingException ne){
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
          throws ServletException,IOException{
RequestDispatcher rdSearch =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/RTMain.jsp");
if (rdSearch != null)
rdSearch.forward(req,res);
}The doGet is there, because what is supposed to happen is the Servlet is supposed to be hit first then go to the jsp. My jsp basically just has a button sitting on it, all I am trying to get out of this is, a button click on the jsp will trigger a hardcoded SQL statement to pull data. As most of you can understand, my purpose is to see this relationship working so I can understand it. I am not sure if I am completely right on my DS setup there. The Constants.MY_DS is from another class, that is basicallypublic static final String MY_DS = "name of my database"; Name of the database being the one I have an established connection to in rad.

Has someone installed some kind of data logging *SPYWARE* on my iMac?

I found a file I don't recognize sitting in my ~/Library/Preferences folder called "HOME Preferences".
This 4K file contains this:
UserLocale=en_US
LastUsedDeviceTypeName=go720
UserPatchFeedback=0
UserPatchFeedbackAddress=
ConfirmedAnonymousDataLogging=1
HaveSendAnonymousDataloggingReply=1
BackupPromptDevices=M64048D01413
StartUpWindowBounds=-7,22,1816,999
.. and that's all. IS this a symptom of some kind of spyware installed or attempted to be installed without my knowledge by someone else who had access to my machine? The datalogging settings bother me as does a setting for user feedback of 0 which sounds like a setting to keep the presence of a datalogger quiet from popping up or showing. How can I figure out using unix commands in the terminal or something more convenient what application this preference file belongs to? This file has an install date of late 2008, so if someone is spying on me, they've been doing it over a year without my knowledge--that disturbs me a bit. I was nosing around trying to figure out why this G4 macMini which is supposed to be recording my two household security cameras has been running so poorly. I have no idea what this file installed on it is all about. I don't believe it to be related at all to the Security Spy software I use for recording the cameras feeds to hard disk.

First off, don't panic.
'Data logging' can mean many things, and take many forms - not all of which are nefarious.
If you think about it, it would to be a pretty dumb hacker who infiltrates your machine to install a logger and leaves such a big, bold footprint behind.
That said, I don't know what this relates to, specifically, but a quick google on some of those keywords (especially the LastUsedDeviceTypeName) hints at something to do with a TomTom GPS unit. Did you install/attach a TomTom GPS back in 2008 when this preference file was attached?
Data logging is often used in GPS terms to track paths/routes, so it would seem to make sense.

It may not be a good soloution for a novice, but I have been using hosts files to block unwanted URLs for many years with zero disasters and lots of positive results.
As I noted, whenever I find a new "bad" site, I simply add the name to my hosts file. It takes a few seconds and then it's gone forever. I find no difficulty whatsoever.
No, it's not for everyone, which is why I gave no specific details; but for those who are interested and have the desire to learn about these hosts files, it is a very good way to avoid "bad" websites.
I also enjoy the "clean" view of a webpage when there are no ads showing at all. The page loads faster and the distractions are gone.
I never realized how much junk I am supressing until I got my iPad and saw all those horrid ads that are blocked on my other computers.
Here is a typical result of properly using a hosts file:

Lock Screen photo show's up under some kind of washout in front the image is not clear.

When I go to the wallpaper section in settings I choose a photo for my lock screen, but when I turn off the screen of my phone and turn it back on the photo show's up behind some kind of washout or something, a foggy screen is in front of my picture and I only can see the colors of the image behind but not the clear photo.
Help Me! Thanks

I had the same issue, as well as missing the Date.
So I forced restart (top and face button pressed at the same time for a few seconds),
and everything went back to normal.

Buttons moved together in some kind of container.
