Buttons == Trash

So I'm making a button. Theoretically easy stuff here that
even a beginner like me should be able to accomplish without too
much hassle...
I import my .png graphic to the library and get it and a
symbol called "Symbol 62" which makes absolutely no sense at all.
So I rename it easily enough and move on. I create a button out of
the graphic and I create two instances of it on the stage with
Actionscript on them to scroll my textbox up and down. Works great.
So I enter the button in my library to place a filter on it's
over-state and I can't, because it's a graphic. Meanwhile, on the
timeline, both instances of the same exact image have filters
applied, because they're buttons. But within they cannot have a
filter unless I change the over-state to a button, which will cause
it to stop functioning entirely. Pretty stupid.

The library is just a container for things that may or may
not be used in the movie. When you publish your movie, unused items
in the library are not part of your SWF. So it doesn't matter if
you have 5000 movie clips in there so long as they are not all used
in the movie. It may, however, create a large FLA and possibly slow
things down on the authoring side of things but I don't think so.
Images in their native form are not usable in Flash unless
you import them via actionscript. So Flash creates something it can
use... a symbol... out of the image when you place it on the stage.
Get in the habit of using symbols and naming them. Try to come up
with a consistent naming scheme... it will be easier on you in the
end.
I like to convert most everything I plan on using to mc
symbols because then I can access them via actionscript but I think
people have various preferences. Some animators (or all... I don't
know) use mostly graphic symbols. Anyway, if you convert that image
that you've placed on your stage to a named symbol then go to your
menu in the library and select "select all unused" then click the
garbage can, you should see the numbered symbols disappear. If they
don't, it means you still have one of those numbered symbols in use
in your movie.

  • Errors druing Data Transfer process

    Hello!
    I go through the SAP BW example and have the following error by generating Data Transfer process.
    I have corrected the errors (from "EURO" to "EUR") in CSV-files, but I get still the errors:
    No SID found for value 'EURO ' of characteristic 0CURRENCY
    No SID found for value 'U1 ' of characteristic 0UNIT
    I have recreated the flat files/.csv-files, deleted and created the info cube, but the error still occurs.
    What are the steps to fix the error?
    How can I know which data source contains the error?
    What are the possible values for 0CURRENCY and 0UNIT?
    Can some one give some recommendation?
    Thank you very much!

    Hello,
    You need to delete the data from PSA after an Unsuccessful load, if you want to load it again after correcting data in the source (Flat file in ur case). Right click ur datasource->Manage. Select the request which failed and hit the delete button (trash) at bottom. Now try loading it again.
    To get all possible values of currencies and units defined in your system. check contents of following tables:
    TCURC - Currency Codes (field -WAERS)
    T006 - Units of Measurement (field - MSEHI)
    Thanks

  • ...from FCP 6...

    ...i get a normal letterbox video(720X480) but when i render to QUICKTIME the video is displayed stretched vertically, This is annoying and I can't seem to find what the problem is as I have double checked settings in FCP export as well as QUICKTIME MOVIE PROPERTIES. Anyone have other ideas? Thanks

    Plugins really might be it...
    However - I seem to be on the 'try the easy thing first' roll today.
    Please repair your permissions Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility on your system drive. Do it twice.
    Also - Trash your preferences. Google for FCPRescue 6 and when it starts, hit the button TRASH.
    Finally - would help to know WHERE it crashes in the startup process. If you can read quickly enough, let us know what it says right before it crashes.

  • Deleting iDVD proj?

    To All..... I have been experimenting with the different themes and I have about 12 or so listed in Documents as "my great dvd# dvdproj". I want to delete most of them. I have tried hitting the delete button, trash can and nothing seems to work. The only thing I can do is "open". Anyone out there have an answer on deleting? I do not need them.
    Thanks, Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    Just a couple of suggestions for you. Firstly, restart your computer, now go to the documents folder. Select one of your projects and hold down the 'apple command' key, this will allow you to select multiple items individually and select all the projects you want to delete. Now, right click (or control+click) on one of the selected projects and select 'move to trash' from the pop-up menu. they should all disappear in one go.
    If that doesn't work then move the files from the documents folder to the desktop by the same selection process and drag them out. You will then be able to drag them into the trash from there.
    If you recieve an error message when you try to empty the trash hold down the option key when you select empty trash.
    Hope this gets you going again.
    Cheers.

  • Icons disappeared at bottom of list of mail!?

    Hi folks,
    You know the line of icons that appears below the list of email? It's the one with the reply button, trash can, etc.? It's disappeared! What's left is just a blank strip at the bottom without any icons in it.
    Anyone know how I can get that back?
    Thanks!

    Those icons only appear if you have an individual mail selected. If you are just looking at the inbox, all you will see is the refresh icon and the create icon along with the date/time the box was updated. Once you select an individual email, you should see 5 icons, the two I listed earlier plus the folder, trash, and reply icons.
    If you are looking at an email and still do not see them, you may need to either power the phone off/on, or do a reset, holding the home and power button together until you see the Apple logo and then release, ignoring the slide to power off screen.

    I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?

    Hi An Iphone user,
    If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
    How do I delete a message?
    To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
    Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
    After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.
    Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • When trying to delete photos from my Iphone 5s, I no longer have a trash button, please help.

    I have tried "Select" and even then the only function I have is "add to". Is there a new way to delete photos that I just do not know about?

    You don't get a trash can icon in the bottom right portion of your phone after pressing Select and then choosing a picture?
    If not, try resetting your phone and then attempt to delete a picture.
    Hold the home button + the lock button for about 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  You will not lose any data or current settings.

  • When I use my Delete key to delete a song, I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" button, and so i need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    When using iTunes on my iMac, I use my Delete key to delete a song and I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" (or Cancel) button, and so I need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
    tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.

  • UWC empty trash button missing

    Hello.
    One of my users can't see the "empty trash" button in his "manage folders" menu. I've checked that he has messages in the trash folder. His quota is 95% full but as far as I know it has nothing to do with the problem.
    Thank you very much.

    I found out that having the option "Mark messages as deleted" enabled instead of "Move deleted messages to folder: ..." (Options -> Mail -> Settings) causes the "empty trash" to dissapear.
    I hope this helps.

  • "Empty" button in trash window does nothing

    I was just wondering if anyone else had the problem where the "empty" button on the top right of the trash window is unresponsive, it has not been working for some weeks.
    Not a problem, I can empty it other ways, I was just curious if this is common.
