Can I access a label inside of an MC and then go back to the main time line

Here is my current set up.
I have a labeled section on main time line which has icons of 12 different videos. Each icon acts as a button and brings a user to a labeled section with a FLV Video Playback component impemented to play the corresponding video. These labeled sections are located on the main time.
This methog makes my main time line very long. Is there a way to make an additional MC which will hold all the video buttons and then have this MC separated into labeled sections.
In other words can I access a label inside of an MC and then go back to the main time line?
My present code for accessing the label located on the main timeline is:
HowTo_maininfo_mc.theArrangement_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, theArrangement_btn_amimated_btnDown);
function theArrangement_btn_amimated_btnDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("theArrangement");
How would it look if my label "theArrangement" would be located inside of an MC?
Is there any specific code if I want to have a close button located on the label inside of an MC and it needs to fire out to a label located on the main timeline?

Oh, WOW! It is working perfectly now.
My mistake was that I was specifiying the var sourceVar:String;
for every single button. It was not clear to me from the first example that it has to be specified only once.
I made a small test Flash file and everything works now. It still doesn't work on my big flash file, I guess some other code messes it up and I can' not figure what it is exactly.
I would like to include the OUTPUT error message in hopes that you can spot right away what a mistake could be:
VideoError: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server
          at fl.video::VideoPlayer/stop()
          at fl.video::FLVPlayback/stop()
          at acolyteVideos_fla::mainsite_mc_2/stopF2()[acolyteVideos_fla.mainsite_mc_2::frame484:21]
          at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
          at acolyteVideos_fla::mainsite_mc_2/onClick_GoBackToHowTo2()[acolyteVideos_fla.mainsite_mc_2 ::frame484:13]
If there is no immediate cure for it, I will go through code line by line. Since it is working on the test it must be something wrong with my main file.
Additiona question (please let me know if I should paste it as a new thread)
I have similar set up with UILoader. Where different buttons set up to bring a user to individual labeled sections with individual UILoader. Should it be arranged in the same way that it is only one loader and "var sourceVar:String;" code is the one which brings up different content for each button?

Access the main time line function

Hi all,
In as2 we can use _root to access the main timeline function from the inside some movieclip or button.
In as3 how to access the main timeline function from inside the movieclip or button.can any one please tell me.

"root" is the AS3 equivalent, but using it alone will often not wortk. You more often need to cast it as some form of object before the compiler will recognize it. Using "MovieClip(root)" will usually do the trick.

Podcasts in both iPhone and iPad will play for a minute and then reset back to the beginning, can only stream, cannot download - no problem on PC laptop with exact same Podcasts with exact same internet set up. What is the fix?

This is incredibly frustrating - we had a IPhone 4s that had no problems here for about 7 monts. We have a new IPhone 4s and recently a new IPad 2. Ever since the mandatory switch to using the Podcasts App for iOS based products (my PC laptop works fine), the podcasts will say "cannot be downloaded at this time" and will stream for 30 seconds to a few minutes, then abruptly start over at the beginning. We cannot fast forward ahead properly in the new clunky interface, and the secondary screen where you get to see the "tape player" going through podcast does not skip when you move the timer icon anywhere in the podcast. It is though they are running in parallel.
We are talking podcasts by the BBC, NPR, etc and the Lenovo doesn't have any issues bc the whole system is inside ITunes.
I have looked all over the internet and cannot find a fix, please help.

Hi jhyiesla,
Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
Further,
- You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
- If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

Can I use DIO 32HS in pattern I/O and Unstrobed I/O in the same time?

I work with a pci dio 32 HS(programming with labview) and i want to know if it is possible to configure 3 ports in unstrobed output mode (24 static digital lines) and 1 port in pattern I/O mode which can read AND(not "or") write data(using internal clock)in the same VI.moreover in pattern I/O mode am i obliged to use these port combinations (16 bits: (port0,Port1) or (port 2, port 3) , 32 bits: (port 0,1,2,3))and not an other one and can i configure one port in output and input at the same time (for example aquiring and generating data at the falling and rising edge of the internal clock)?? please give me all possibilities of lines, ports and groups direction (input output bidirectionnal) with more de
tails (i'm not sure of what i can do using the 653X user manual). else, I can't observe with my oscilloscope TEK the internal clock signal(squarewaveform TTL) onthe REQ pin as it is said in the user manual, WHY????
Thank you for your answers.bye

Hi,
No, you cannot configure 3 ports together. On the PCI-DIO-32HS, there are two main port groups, each group consisting of two ports: group 1 (ports 0,1) and group 2 (ports 2,3). You can configure two 8-bit ports (0 and 2), two 16-bit ports (0,1 and 2,3) and one 32-bit port (ports 0,1,2,3); you can configure each group independently.

Firefox is not displaying all the images on any of the websites that I access. I upgraded to 4.0 and it worked correctly for about a day and then reverted back to the problem.

When I open a website using Firefox it displays the text but none of the graphics. I upgarded to 4.0 and it was temporarily corrected. Now it has reverted to no graphics,

Hi there,
I have the same issue: FireFox is not showing all images on the page.
Noticed this in FireFox 5.0. Now I installed FireFox 5.0.1 and still have the same issue.
The missing images do not even appear in Tools > Page Info > Media.
The images are usually accessed using DIV tag with a CSS class which contains background-image style. Often, when page opens, the DIV is initially hidden, and JavaScript displays it. Sometimes, jQuery.html() adds such DIV tags, and images rarely appear. Sometimes they do, but more often they do not.
If I install FireBug and use Inspect Element to find such a DIV, it is there, it contains the CSS class, the definition of the CSS class contains background-image style. If I click the icon to disable this style, and then click it again to enable it, the image immediately shows up.
Seems to be caused by some optimization which does not detect images like these.
Hope this helps you reproduce it.

New W530 Owner - Can I move down to W7 for a while and then come back?

I have a full Windows 7 license and think I would prefer to move down to Windows 7 for a while and have the option to come back to 8 later. My understanding is that 8's key is in the bios.
If I move down to W7 will it install normally?
If I later want to move back to W8 can I install that from any Win 8 Pro install media and it will just recognize the key at that time?
Thanks!

When I select messages it wont go to main message menu it stays locked and I can't send messages to anyone else. How do I get back to the main message menu? select anyone else

How can I get to the main message menu? It stays locked on one persons messages and won't let me message anyone else. Can anyone help me?

You should be able to tap a different conversation you already have open. Try tapping the write new message button, it looks like the square with the pencil icon, right next to the word Messages, if it opens then tap the blue + sign.
You could also try to delete all you current open windows by tapping the Edit button then check marking all them > delete.
If you are still having problems first try to close Messages and then double tapping the Home Button to bring up the dock and long press on the messages app in the dock until you see it shaking with the red circle and completely turn it off, then re-open and see if that fixes it. If not you could try to reboot the iPad by holding the home button and the power button at the same time, ignore the "slide to Power Off" message and continue holding both buttons until you see the screen go black and the Apple logo appear.

When I updated to 4.0 I now can't see my Toolbar bookmarks and can't access them easily. How do I get them all back on the browser?

How do I get my Bookmarks Toolbar site icons on my browser as it was before I upgraded to 4.0?

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Can I use my New Imac as a server and a workstation/client at the same time ?

I havea brand new (2 months Old) Imac - 4 Gig, fully loaded and want to use it as a server using lion server app. I want to use it for ical server, Addressbook and fileshareing with a bit more security. I dont want to buy a new computer, just use the existing one to do these services. At the same time, I want to still use this computer for my regular work.
There will be a few users with low traffic. At the beggining, there will be only 1 other user for the calander, addressbook and file server. Later it might grow to 4.
Any thoughts would be appreciated !!!
PS - Any advice on how to set this up or tricks would be appreciated
Thanks Again

great Idea !! Lets assume I dont want to go virtual - what is your thought on that ?
Lion Server is a "layer" on top of client. The services run in the background and do consume resources like the RAM, CPU, and HD, while you're using the computer as a client. That said, when running a VM with say VMWare Fusion you dedicate Cores and RAM to VM, even if the VM doesn't need all the CPU horsepower or RAM for your server tasks. So it may be that running a full blown Lion Server as VM along side client is more resource intensive on your computer than just running Lion Server while also using it as a workstation.

Going Back to the main frame, from inside a movie clip time line.

In flash CS5 I want to go back to the main time line, from inside a movie clip button, so when i click the the movie clip it goes to another frame on the main time line..
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Daniel Derrick

your can use _root to reference the main timeline from anywhere though that can lead to problems if your swf is loaded by another swf. because of that eventuality, it would be better to use a relative path back to the main timeline.
so, from a movieclip's timeline (when the movieclip is on the main timeline), you can use _parent to reference the main timeline.
but even better would be to use no code on that movieclip's timeline and keep all your code on one timeline (the main one).

I bought iPad and I can not access, A message appears asking me account and password when i return to the person who I purchased it from him, he told me that he forgot the account and password
I want a solution to the problem, because in this way I will not benefit from the iPad

There is no solution. You have to provide the ID and password. There is no way around it. If the person you bought it from can't provide it, return it and get your money back.

We both use the same iPad my father and I as of today, as is letting me use it too from now on (sweet! ), I do not want to make a mistake and accidently use my father's ID & passwords (dohh ), but each time the ID & Password pops up it ask for his (???), how can I access mine, so it's my account and financials being used. Thanks to any of those gifted with this knowlegde... AMAKANGAROO

In order to reliably save the info and be able to restore at a later date, you would need to use his AppleID.
Switch to it on iTunes, back the iPad up and confirm the backup exists (Preferences / Devices), then switch to yours, wipe the iPad and start afresh. Will also wipe his apps, as they are tied to the AppleID as well.

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly
